• 2 packages Splenda, Equal, Truvia or your favourite sugar substitute

• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Brew coffee extra strong. I used a K-Cup and brewed it stronger than normal.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together Splenda, water, cinnamon and vanilla until well blended, about 1 minute. Stir in milk and continue to heat over medium heat, stirring until steaming, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a blender and process for 20 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry about it. Just whisk the mixture continuously with a wire whisk until foamy.

DIY LIP SCRUB!

Hi Guys,

    So Todays Post is going to be a DIY Lip Scrub.... Yay! So I know on the picture it shows the lush bubble gum one but where not going to do that one unless you want to? but that isn't what this post is going to be showing you.... but  I will give you alterative options...... So without further adue lets get on with the post.........

1. The Basic Lip Scrub! 

ingredients:

• Honey or Olive Oil
• Brown Sugar
• lip balm 
• A empty tub to contain the lip scrub

Method:

1. Take the empty tub and fill it 3/4 the way full with brown sugar

2. Take little dots of honey or Olive Oil at a time and mix it in with the Brown sugar

3. apply to your lips and leave for 1 minute.....

4. wipe off with a damp wash cloth and APPLY LIP BALM !!

 that step many people forget to do and that way its just going to de hydrate your lips because your lips have been striped of all the dead skin on the lips

Warning: Recommended that you only use this twice (at the maximum) every fortnight...

An Optional step is to add abit of lip balm into the scrub so the honey and the scraping of the honey isn't so harsh on your lips and also to add just a little bit of scent and flavour to the lip scrub... but that step is completely up to you

So Guys that is my DIY Lip Scrub... I know it was really short but HAY!! nobody wants to read some thing where somebody is just rambling on right.... comment down below if you want more of a longer more detailed one of these videos with maybe some colours added to it and how to make some of your own scents... just comment down below... as always my social media is linked down below and I will see you Tomorrow for another super fantastic post... once again I would like to thank you all for your support and I cant wait till we reach our next goal.... TOGETHER!,

Thank you all so much fro reading and I hope to see you reading my next post...

My Summer Essentials

hi guys,
so I'm back again doing my second post! yay!!!!!!. So since its just turned summer I thought that it would be cool to do a summer essentials so lets kick things off shall we.
so for my first summer essential I thought I wold start off with the basics sun glasses and sun cream now I think that they are the most important things to carry with you in the summer ever! not only because the sunscreen can protect your skin but also because its handy for other people because sharing's caring right haha! my second summer essentials is obviously going to be makeup wipes because in the hot weather you get sticky and sometimes it feels like your makeup is literally melting off of your face! haha. my next essential is hand sanitizer, now I wouldent consider this a 'summer' essential but an all year round essential just because bacteria is everywhere and its better to be safe than sorry right. now my next one is basics and that's a charger, your purse and your house and car keys. Now I don't really have to explain these now do I... next up is to carry around a small makeup bag containing matte powder, mascara and lip balm, etc; again really don't have to explain that one either. another great essential in the summer is some jewellery to go with the outfit that you decide to wear, although I'm one of those people that takes jewellery off after. Awhile and then puts it back on. Hahah 😂. Next up is spare flip flops now I'm nota person to take these although if I'm going to the beach etc; I will because otherwise sand can get into your socks and shoes and it makes me feel sick, but that's just me personally. Another one I wouldn't personally take but is a good idea is hand/ body lotion only because when ur doing things you want to be sure robe able to moisturise your hands and body. On the subject of body another great thing to carry with you is body spray.... I don't have to explain this one.... Let's just move on shall we ... Next up is. Nail polish , well if your on the beach and just bored at least you can paint your nails although that's another good thing just to pop into your makeup bag along with your powder. Another ABSOLUTE ESSENTIALS is Water because yo can never be to hydrated.... Actually as. I write this on my cousins iPads ( he has a blog check it out here - dangerousteenagelife.blogspot.com)  I'm actually sippin on some ice cold water .... It's very refreshing for the body ... Another good thing to carry around with you in the. Summer is paracetamol, just because if your anything like me you get heat stroke VERYYY EASILY and when you don't wear a hat everybody needs to avoid you because you get very cranky hahaha. 😂 Last but not least is some snacks or a protein bar because sometimes if you have a little snack then your heatstroke seems to calm down well that's what it does for me anyway haha 😂 Ok so that's me done I hope you loved my second post and I hope to see you soon in my next blog post and thanksgorreading and hoped you enjoyed

R.I.P. My Good Friend

Hi Guys,


 right so me and my cousin thought that you guys have the right to know if were a little bit off lately that is because we've both been woken up to some very bad news....... my Bamps dog has pasted away. we wasent just a dog tho.... He was a very close family member and a very loved and well treated friend. he wasent always 'the happy dog' he was the more of 'the grumpy and spoilt dog' ha-ha he always had a happy life and he was always very nice to people although he wasent very good with youngers he learnt to get on with then after awhile.... my bamp had Benji for about 10 years which is around about 80-85 in dog years... That's older than my Bamp altogether..... ok so Benji was happy in his later life years and time got on when my mum was taking care of my nan and bamp or if you like to call it grandmother and grandfather.... he got a lot happier because we were able to go out and buy him toys and squeaky toys and dentistix (you know the sticks that clean the teeth of dogs) but he had pasted away from a slipped disk in his back.... he had been having trouble for awhile.... falling over and not being able to control his feet and he couldn't look up  :'( ...... he went to stay in over night in the vets and he wasent responding and it was to costly to give him the medical treatment so my Bamps only option was to put him down :'( im like crying as I'm writing this.... so yeah that's why I've been abit off lately so if you are wondering what's been going on with me.... me and my family have had to deal with this news....
Thanks for listening and Thank you for all the lovely support and my cousin would love some support from you guys: he also runs a blog but he likes to write about animes blood guts and gore so on ha-ha. check his blog out Here .

Thank You Guys For All Your Support And Good Bye For Now

My Hair Care Routine

Hi Guys,
So its getting into a habit of starting like that so yh I think im going to stick with that any how... how are you guys... good!! ok so today ill be doing my hair care routine and telling you guys what I do with my hair when its wash day! haha ok so before I ramble on like I always do ill get straight into my hair care routine now shall we?!

1. Shampoo

The shampoo I use is the Alberto Balsam yes I know its really cheap however I find myself actually asking my mum to buy it again because it leaves my hair feeling touch ably soft. I recommend with shampoo a lot it is very nourishing for the hair ha-ha.














2. Conditioner

The conditioner I seem to be using again and again is the VO5 Give me moisture Conditioner... This Conditioner is THE BEST CONDITIONER I have EVER tried EVERR! it leaves my hair brush able and tangle free... almost like silk ha-ha.















3. Leave-in Conditioner

The Leave-in Conditioner I find myself using is the L'Oreal Elvive Leave-in Conditioner with the red top ! this makes my hair tangle free and since ive been using this some how my hair has been easier to handle when im blow drying it... I defiantly recommend this product if your looking for a good leave in conditioner.














4.Smoothing Cream

The Smoothing cream I find myself using the most is the L'Oreal Studio/Pro Sleek it... this leaves all my ends fix together and there is barely any fly away's when I use this so yeah I would definatly recommend this.
















5. Straightener

Not that I straighten my hair often but I do like to now and then... so when i do straighten my hair i use the Babyliss Pro Ceramic 215 Straightener. it works well I would say although if you had the budget i would go for a higher end hair straightener only because i find this straightener very hard to hand at times and sometimes it doesn't heat up hot enough... so you would not recommend unless that is  your only option.










6. Blow- Dryer

I am guilty when it comes to blow drying your hair every time you wash your hair hahaha. so the hair dryer I have for this magical time is the mini mark hill hair dryer with is pictured to the right... I think this is a great hair dryer... its great for travel and it is very powerful for its size... i would definatly recommend this hair dryer













7. Heat Protectant

When I am to use heat on my hair I do thurally protect my hair with heat protectant and for that I use the Got2be Guardian angel (black). I would definatly recommend this spray for hair because it is very nice and nourishing for the hair.
















8. Paddle Brush

apparently its better to blow-dry your hair with a paddle brush.... loads of people have told me that so I went and got a cheap one from my local Primark its just a PS cheap one i don't think I would recommend it because I've had it 4 weeks and its already falling apart so yeah.... just a paddle brush
















9. Mousse

So When I want to put my hair up in a ponytail i just put mousse on my baby hair to stick it down because it doesn't  crunch up that much does it and if i use hair spray it goes all crispy and it doesn't feel so nice.10/10 would recommend to everybody...

















10. Dry Shampoo

..................... we've all been there, to lazy for wash day....... school the next day...... so what's the last resort............ DRY SHAMPOOO!!!! ha-ha ok so the dry shampoo I use when I am in this situation is the Batiste floral and flirty blush dry shampoo. I don't think I wold recommend this because it kind of makes my head itch insanely.... so yeah.....




       So guys that was my hair care routine. I hope you enjoyed as always and stay tuned for my next post tomorrow... I just really wanted to challenge myself to 2 blogs today so y hhoped you enjoyed and stay tuned for tomorrows blog.

My Everyday Makeup Routine

Hi Guys,

   So this so this is my third blog post and im really liking writing my blog posts for some reason... ha-ha. So before I ramble in we might as well jump straight into it because from the title you know what this post is going to be like and about...
       So for this post ill be showing you what I find myself reaching for on a day-to-day basis so Lego!!


1. Foundation

Now the Foundation I find myself using more and more out of my makeup collection is my very well loved Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in the shade Light Porcelain. I just pop this all over my face and then blend it out with my beauty bender which there is a section for down below. I bought this product in my local Tesco extra ha-ha

2. Concealer

Now the next thing I find myself using the most out of my whole makeup collection on a day-to-day basis is my favourite every thing in the whole universe that saves me when I haven't had enough sleep because of school is my most dearest Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I'm sure you have all heard how much Zoella raves about this but I am to because this magical tube has saved me so many time and im almost out (literally depressing). I just pop this all over my imperfections and blend with my beauty blender which again  has a section below. I also bought this product in my local Tesco extra ha-ha.

3. Eyebrows

 For my eyebrows I find myself using the W7 Brow Bar (no shade) it just has four powders and I apply it with my angled brush out of my collection that I bought from amazon ha-ha. this is the only brow item I have the moment because everywhere I go all the brow items are gone and at the   moment I don't have the budget for benefit... I got this item for Christmas but I think my mu  got this from B&M for about £2.99. I apply this in my brow and sculpt them out when I

4. Contour, Highlight and Blush

For my Contour, Highlight and Blush I've found myself using my Makeup Revolution Contour and Sculpt  pallet but me and cousin did forget to take a picture of it but If I can ill try and insert one when I can..... I got this item in my town Superdrug for my birthday. I apply the contour shade to the hallows of my cheeks the blush on the apples of my cheeks and the highlight on my cheek bone for a lifted affect.

5. Eyeliner

The eyeliner I use the most out of my makeup collection is my Maybelline Master Smoky in Black in my waterline for a darker effect. I also got this for Christmas but I'm sure it was from B&M for around about £2 for a nice Maybelline Gift Set

6. Mascara

The Mascara I am absolutely in love with is the Maybelline Colossal Volume Express I got it in the set the same as the eyeliner but I do love the mascara I just coat my lashes twice with this mascara and it leaves my lashes being seriously long and volumized ( that might not be a word but you know what I mean)

7. Lipstick

Last but not least my lipstick that I have been wearing everyday that I have been loving ever since I laid eyes on it in the shop is my Makeup Revolution lipstick in the shade Nude .... I love this lipstick it gives a nice suttle look on the lips but also adds a nice small and tiny pop of colour to the lips and makes it look more plump and moisturised it matched my skin tone very nicely. this lipstick was only £1 at Superdrug at the Makeup Revolution.

   


























  Ok so That is my everyday makeup routine / all the products I wear on a day-to-day basis I hope you enjoyed as I worked very hard on this post and it was very hard to get all the pictures from my phone to the computer ha-ha. anyway I hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for my next blog post which is hopefully tomorrow or the day after.. any blog post ideaas just posted a comment below... all ideas will be taken into account and I hope you have enjoyed again,... ok I feel like ive rambled on long enough and I should probably get going before my brothers and my cousin rams the computer/ laptop off of me haha

Go and give my cousins blog some love by clicking here and ill see you soon bye xxx
