So
a week or so ago, before the summer term of school started again, me
and my friend Anna decided to go for a little walk (I also filmed a
video *hint hint*). The path went down a small little river in the
middle of no where with gorgeous spring flowers (the blossom especially attracted me) and it was a very sunny, still, calm day and a lot of photos where taken by both of us camera enthusiasts!
We then came across a cute small village with a beautiful setting home to
the typical village features such as a church, a post office and of
course a little tea room. We were a little nervous at first as being the
only customers in there, we felt slightly intimidated. But no worries
because the waitresses were so helpful and the food and drinks were
delicious. We both had filter coffee's (something I have never had
before) and we shared a gorgeous tomato, basil and mozzarella panini!
I highly recommend
going to cute little hidden away tea rooms like this one, even if it's
something new, it was just a great time to chat with my friend!
Then we had a gentle walk back home (through a lovely industrial business park haha) but all in all the afternoon was great!

We all have those lazy days when we just want to do things easy and simple (I have these days too often!) So today I'm going to be showing you 3 ways in which you can make life easier by following these simple beauty hacks, but shhh, don't tell anyone!
I love using hair masks, I find they clean and remove any excess oils and products (eg. crap) out of my hair without stripping it. However, decent hair masks can be expensive and take up more time in the bath/shower. So instead use your conditioner! It isn't as strong as a mask but basically does the same job. Just apply conditioner to the tips and lengths of your hair (not your roots otherwise greasy the monster will appear!) and leave it in for around 5 minutes. You can be shaving and washing your body at this point, then just wash it out like normal and voila!
A newish product that has come into the world of beauty is Micellar (choose how you say it!) Originally Bioderma were the only brand with this magic in a bottle product but now drugstore brands all over are releasing it! I love using this when I don't want to do the whole remove makeup, cleanse and tone thing because this does all of that for you on 1 large cotton pad! It's better for your skin then wipes (and I say it's quicker)! No rinsing, no irritation and no more MILLIONS of other products. THANK YOU!
And finally my last beauty hack is the cheek/lip trick. This is an oldie but a goodie! Especially at this time of year I love using cream blush but why go out and buy one when your more than likely to have one already in your makeup collection. I'm talking about a lipstick! This is great, you can choose any matte/glossy finish lipstick, pop it on your cheeks, blend it out with your fingers and your good to go. Just apply the lippy to your lips as well and you'll have a gorgeous matching lip/cheek thing going on!
Let me know if you have any great beauty hacks, as I'm all about easy and simple!
