We all have a silver necklace or bracelet that we haven't worn in a while that has gone tarnished and black. The other day I went to put on a little locket my brother bought me a few Christmases back and it was looking a little unloved and tarnished. Then I remembered reading somewhere about a very unlikely silver cleaner and thought, heck I'll give it a whirl, and it works, amazingly! So I'm going to show you how to go: Using one ingredient that we all have in our homes...Toothpaste! Our unlikely hero in this epic adventure! Now you might be thinking toothpaste really? But trust me it works like a charm! Why does it work? Most jewelry cleaners contain a mixture of water and baking soda just like toothpaste. Its non-toxic and easy to clean up (make sure you do this over the sink!) Toothpaste contains mild abrasives which will help to remove staining on your silver. Just keep in mind the toothpaste could scratch your jewelry so be gentle! Step 1: Get your neck lace and your ...

Aloha! A few weeks back I saw a couple of videos on you tube on how to make your own lipsticks using crayons which looked really cool and easy to do, so today I decided I would give it ago!  I played about a bit with ratios to see what worked best.  What you're gunna need: ~ Coconut Oil ~ Crayons         ~ Containers      in addition ~ a double boiler (heat proof bowl + frying pan + hot water) ~ spoon  ~ bowl of HOT water for clean up ~ kitchen towel Step 1~ Set your hob on a low heat, we have electric so I set it at 4 Step 2~ Decide on your crayon colour Step 3~ Melt half a teaspoon of coconut oil in your heatproof dish Step 4~ Melt your crayon! So this is my first attempt. I used half a teaspoon of coconut oil and a whole crayon. I ended up adding in an extra quarter of a teaspoon of coconut oil as the mixture was really thick. This looks so much more orange than it ended up. Its more of a red/coral colour. The consistency of...

I'm relativity new to Lush products and when I asked an friend who's bit of a Lush Addict what their hair care was like she said it was worth a try. So I went out and bought some! I've been using these 2 now for about 2/3 months. Information  Brand| Lush Product| Rehab Shampoo Price| £10.45 Size| 250g Would I repurchase| Not in the near future! In a nut shell this is meant to be like rehab for tiered stressed out tresses. The ingredients list is full of natural oils, fruit juices and enzymes to give your scalp a thorough clean. I use this solely on my scalp to clear away grease and...dead skin cells (mm so nice to think of). It smells so divine, its fresh and minty and I do enjoy working it in to a lather on my noggin. Consistency wise its quite runny and very clear. It has a similar colour to olive oil just a little less yellow. The downside, though full of natural ingredients, it still has parabens and sulfates.  After using this I do feel like my scalp has had a good cle...

This is a super easy faux braid inspired by bebexo's  TUTORIAL . After I'd watched it, I realised I'd done a hair style using the same technique last year. What I love about this braid is that it is loose, romantic and effortless looking. Looks fab with curly hair and if you struggle with the regular fishtail braid this could be your saviour, plus its great for layered hair! Click on the link above to view bebexo's tutorial! Such a bad image sorry about that!  Jeni x

So you may or may not know that I have an interest in the Korean/Asian beauty market. The products are always so nicely packaged and so much more exciting to use, for me anyway. Plus you can't get them where I live, unless some one knows of where I can get them UK South-East?! But part of the joy and excitement comes from buying online and waiting for it to arrive! I missed this one yesterday so went to pick it up today from the post office and thought I would do an un-boxing post. But I'm not going all the way (you'll see what I mean), I'll save that for the future reviews! So we have 2 boxes all wrapped in bubbly-wrap...so excite! So here we have the Mizon All In One Snail Repair Cream, Mizon Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule, Tony Moly I'm Real Lemon Brightening Lotion (sample), Tony Moly I'm Real Tea Tree Sebum & Pore Lotion (sample) & Tony Moly I'm Real Avocado Rich Cream (sample). Not to forget the thank you card! I got my cream and ampoule as a d...
