Silky Summer Legs- Homemade




The world of Tumblr. The place filled with  little cats, penny boarders and  quotes from your favourite TV shows. Where for me, I found this amazing little recipe to get super soft silky summer legs. At first I did not believe this would work because stuff like this never work but oh my! It worked and I couldn't stop stroking my legs. This recipe came from http://militaryfit-bombshell.tumblr.com and it is far better then everything you could ever buy from a shop for sure. You all need to try it. 



Super Silky Summer Legs
Next time you are feeling down, about to binge, going on a date, or just need to pamper yourself, do this. I just did it and I can not stop rubbing my legs together. It feels like I paid for that over expensive pedicure at the salon.
Ingredients
1 1/4 C Sugar (Yup, plain, good-ol’ white sugar)
1/2 C Oil (I used olive oil, but you can use any oil, coconut oil, baby oil, canola oil)
3 tablespoons Citrus (Lime or lemon)
1-2 Razors
Mix everything together in a bowl.
Soak your legs in the tub for 5 minutes.
Shave your legs.
Rub some of this mixture all over your legs. The sugar will help rub off all dirt and dead skin. Rub, rub. Feels like a mini massage.
Rinse it all off, shave again. I would use one razor per leg if you have two. You will be rinsing this razor a lot. I was GROSSED out by the amount of dead skin I was “shaving” off. It was insane! Trust me, you’ll see.
Rub your legs again! Second coat of wax, oh yeah.
Rinse off! You can use a mild soap to help get some of the oil off.
Lotion your legs up, and feel the silkiness!
Now this isn’t just geared to ladies…. guys, if you want to get lucky, I suggest you offer to rub your ladies’ feet with this mix too. It feels awesome, and when you get lucky, you will be thanking me that her rough grandma feet aren’t cutting your legs, if ya know what I’m saying… hahaha.
I have silky arm pits too!!
Try it, I swear, You will want everyone to touch your legs.

Liebster Awards!

What are the Liebster awards some off you may be asking? Well I didn't have a clue what this one until I got nominated by two wonderful blogs: everything-nothing and Lucie's corner. These two blogs deserve for you to have a look out and even a follow. Well the liebster awards is where blogs under 200 followers get nominated by other blogs, they answer a set off question and tag another 11 blogs. I got nominated twice so I'm going to do both set off questions that the blogs above asked me. 



Everything-nothing's questions: 
What is your favourite book?
My favourite book is by far ‘The Help’. It’s about black people being white people’s maid and the problem that they have while working and the revenge they set out on the white people. A very funny book!

2. What made you start blogging?
I think it’s because I was reading other blogs and wanted my own. As I’ve finally finished school, I thought it was good timing to use spare time productive and will be more exciting things then just going school everyday.

3. Who is your all time favourite blogger?
It has just got to be Zoella! It was the first blog that I came across and I ended up reading most off her posts. 

4. What is your favourite hairproduct?
At this moment it is currently Got2Be heat protection. It smells so nice and does a big job.

5. What country do you want to visit the most of all the countries in the world?
I really want to visit the United States and do a big road trip across the whole country. I have never been there before.

6. What is your favourite band/singer?
My all time favourite band which I have never stop loving is Maroon 5. Really need to go and see them live soon.


7. What is your favourite item that you own?
Well it’s my Goofy Teddy from Disney World from Japan my brother got from his hoilday, i am just a disney freak.
8.What color of nailpolish do you use the most?

Well at the moment as it’s summer (well kind off) and I’ve a bit more tanned now, it’s this pastel green nail polish. 
9. If you could go back in time, how old would you want to be? and why?

I think it must be when I was about 5. It was the time when it was just me and my brother used to go the beach all the time, my grandparents were still here and my biggest worry was if it was too cold for my paddling pool. 
10. What do you do on a cosy day at home?

These are normally my sundays. It is all about PJs, the duvet covers being brought downstairs with hot chocolate watching my favourite TV shows and catching up on the soaps. 
11. What is your favorite TV series?

Well my all time favourite shows is Criminal minds and all the CSI’s. However for when I’m waiting for the new episode of these to come on, Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother is just a classic.


Lucie's Corner's Questions: 

1. Why did you start your blog?
I think it’s because I was reading other blogs and wanted my own. As I’ve finally finished school, I thought it was good timing to use spare time productive and will be more exciting things then just going school everyday.(Same answer as above)
 2. Something you’ve recently learned?
Recently learnt a life lesson, high school will be a long distance memory and the people in there you are less likely to ever see again so don't get caught up on the drama.
3. Your favourite band/singer?
Like above, It's Maroon 5! While for the singer it's Ben Howard.

Little Freebie- Garnier Moisture Match

Everyone loves a little freebie don't we? No matter how small or big the freebie is, everyone does love one! A great website is www.magicfreebieuk.co.uk. This website is amazing, it's mainly competition or give-aways where there is only 200 for example, and you have a chance of winning. However there is some where you just get a free sample like I did here and tells you good sales and discounts that is happening. Everyone should go on there and have a look.

 I got a moisture match by Garnier. I got three different samples, normal skin, oily skin and dull skin. It came in a little cute little folded up leaflet with the samples in the middle. It's a good size and giving me a range off different types to try.

This was such a good sample. I will be definitely be buying the moisture match for oily skin. I didn't even know Garnier did a range like this, it's new and these samples have really happened me choose the right one for me. I will be buying the full size bottle of the oily skin one, they are perfect for my skin. 

So everyone should check out the freebie website and try out the garnier moisture match face lotions. I recommended them to you all.

High School Memory Box

Recently I have finally finished high school. Wow. I have been waiting for this day since the beginning off year 7 and it's came and I just thought to myself, five years have gone so quick. I'm going to admit, I am one of those people who completely hated high school and didn't have the whole school year as my friend. I stuck with it, stayed out off drama and did all the work and didn't really care about what everyone else is doing. Looking back, I've had some amazing times with some good friends who I won't ever forget. 

The build up to the ending off school was filled with people writing in leavers book (writing how we were in the same class, memories and wishing me luck for the future and where they think I will be doing). While the last day was a leaver assembly where we sang our year's song and signing shirts and a lot of photo taking. I've decided to put everything from high school into a box and will be able to look back at in a few years.



What I've put in my leaver's memory box, little bits of high school.


The back off my shirt from the last day, sorry for any penis from my inappropriate friend 


Two pages off my leavers book from my friend Lewis and Lucy, a page that doesn't have any embrassasing stories.
My two school ties, we changed ties when two schools combined as one


Some certificates that I achieved in high school, a netball one there! when I actually  ran

So here my little memory box from my last five years off school. When if you did hate school, do a little box or something! It is a big change, five years going and at a new land mark in your life. School did have some good times but I did have good friends who actually helped me through this time. Will actually truly miss the insane lot. Go and make your little memory box that you can have a look at in a few years time.
