new skin care editions♡

Recently, I have been picking up some skincare things which I thought I would share with you!

The first things are these Black Head Pore Strips. I think most people have those annoying small black heads on your nose and I was searching up how to get rid of them and came across a video where someone had used these and said the results were amazing. I was hesitant at first to order something online from a different country where I wouldn't know any ingredients but I decided to give it a go. I think for a pack of 10 of these little sachets was about £3 which is really good. 

The consistency is a thick black goo. You look like a panda when you apply it to your nose! I've never tried anything like this before. You leave it to dry for 10-15 minutes, peel it off and all your blackheads should come with it. I find it really therapeutic and satisfying to do this. It's quite addictive. So far, I'm not sure about this product! I need to try it more! My pores do feel cleaner and my nose feels smoother but it's not that visibly different yet.

The next product has made the biggest difference to my skin. I bought the Clean and Clear Advantage spot control treatment gel. I have used this every single day since purchase and it has made such a difference. If you suffer with ache-prone skin or just get the odd 'lovely' spot every now and then this would be perfect to have as a back-up. It says it works in under 4 hours and it does. IT'S AMAZING and it's only £3.50. It's a clear gel consistency and you apply it on any problem areas you may have. It stings occasionally, when you first put it on but because of the results, a little bit of stinging won't put me off! After a week or so of using this, my spots have reduced down to nothing.

getting creative for spring: bunny bunting♡

I love getting creative especially when it's the start of a new season and my room needs a little update! Spring is just around the corner so I decided to make some adorable bunny bunting to display in my room! Hopefully, this will inspire some of you to get creative with some of your own Spring DIY's or maybe recreate this one! 

Step 1♡ 

Print off a stencil of a bunny. I found one on pinterest so have a search around for one you fancy! To make it more sturdy and durable, print it off on card. 

Step 2♡

Find different colours of paper. I used white, pastel yellow and pastel pink to match my room but any colours will do! 

Step 3♡

Draw around your stencil on plain white card. I managed to stencil out 6 bunnies on each piece of card. Then, cut them all out. I cut out about 18 of these as I made one for my sister too. 

Step 4♡

Take one card bunny at a time and glue it on a sheet of coloured paper so one side of the bunny is covered. Then, flip the bunny over and cut it out. By this point, one side of the bunny should be covered in paper. Do this process with all of them until you have all the bunnies you need!

Step 5♡

Now, take some cotton wool or pom pom balls and glue them to the bunny to make the tail. 

Step 6♡

Then, carefully hole punch the each bunny twice on each side of it's head and thread through a piece of string. Tie the string at both ends. 

Step 7♡

DONE! Display anywhere you like!
