20 Before 20...

Helllooo fellow earthlings! Hope everyone is having a fabulous day and enjoying the sunshine:)

One thing my friends and family know about me is I always have these great, amazing, supercalafragalistic ideas circling my head about things i'd like to do, places i'd like to go and explore and dreams I want to make a reality!
 I sometimes tend to get caught up in the busyness of life and claim I've no time to do things but when is the right time to do anything? It's so easy to keep putting off things but THE TIME TO LIVE IS NOW!
In the words of 'The Script' - 'This ain't no dress rehersal, lemme tell ya kid' LOL


This led me to think that I can either keep putting off all the little things i'd like to do or I can make this summer (my last summer as a teenager, GASP!!) a summer of discovery... Of finding out things about myself, enjoying the little things and taking each moment as it comes:)

I made up a simple,fun list of 20 things I would like to do this summer and i'd like to share it with you and maybe you could join me and make up your own list? #20thingstodobeforeim20 

If I don't get them all done its okay, no pressure i'm young I've plenty of time:)  Life is made to be enjoyed!

My list of possibities includes...

  1. Learn how to make candles
  2. Master the art of not taking life so serious and doing things simply for the fun and joy of it :)
  3. Have a cappuccino in the Eiffel Tower
  4. Spend 24 hours technology free!!
  5. Join a dance class:)
  6. Ask one of my grandmothers sisters a funny story about her when they were younger:)
  7. Have a water fight
  8. Write a letter to myself to open on my 30th birthday
  9. Spend the day in howth (I've never been and people are always telling me how beautiful it is:) )
  10. Learn to drive and do my theory test(and possibly even pass LOL)
  11. Participate in a laughter yoga class
  12. Have a conversation with a french person 
  13. See Anne Franks house in Amsterdam 
  14. Be kind to everyone I meet. 
  15. Fall in love<3 I love dreaming about how I will meet my prince charming. It could be at a bus stop, at the supermarket, on a plane, in the park ANYWHERE. 
  16. Meet new and interesting people who are also travelling. I love meeting new people and finding out about what they like to do and their culture.
  17. Spend a day at the beach reading my book, listening to the sea and sipping on cocktails. 
  18. Go to a flower market in Nice. 
  19. Have Fun creating memories and make it a beautiful, free summer to remember. 
  20. Look at everyday as an opportunity to learn something new!

There is a lot more things I would love to do this summer and it's all possible! Ill leave it at 20 for the moment though.

Every day is a new beginning and anything could happen! One of my favorite quotes is...
'Begin each day with the thought something amazing will happen.' 


Amazing things happen everyday but we just don't notice them. So this summer take time to pause from the busyness of life and enjoy the little things. Life is more fun when we focus on what can go right rather then what can go wrong:)




Peace out
xoxo

Nature nails:)

'Nature does not hurry, yet accomplishes everything'-  Lao Tzu


The summer is slowly but surely creepy up on us and I LOVE it! There is nothing better then looking at your clock and realising it's 9 o'clock and the sun is still shinning:)
Nature is so beautiful and lately I've been enjoying going for a summer stroll in the evening and taking pictures of all the beauty around me. Here is a few of the snaps I took the other day...




One picture of flowers I thought was particularly nice and colourful was this one...


Which led to this creation...


'Do not rush, for the secret of life is patience. Everything that is meant to happen will come at the right time.'

WetNWild Brunch!

Well hello lovely people, hope you are having a fun week so far! 


I am really enjoying writing and creating designs for my blog and it's getting exciting. I went to my first ever bloggers event last Saturday held in the Morgan Hotel on Fleet Street. It was to discuss and try out the products 'WetNWid' have to offer their new fabulous Irish customers. 
They're an American Cosmetic brand which just launched in Ireland this year starting off in Dunnes Stores and working their way into Pennys ( started from the bottom now we here! lol). I had such a great time meeting fellow bloggers and chatting about all the wonderful products in front of us. 

Obviously as a proud nail varnish addict my eyes went straight to the ginormous bottles of nail varnishes! Seriously guys they look the exact same as 'Sally Hansen' nail varnishes but wayyyyyy less expensive. All of their nail varnishes are under the €3 mark so you definitely get your moneys worth:) 


The colours I've tried out so far include 'I Red A Good Book' and 'Wet Cement'. They're part of the 'WetNWild megalast' nail varnishes.

I really like 'Wet Cement' as it's simple and looks great with a bit of tan. 


'I Red A Good Book'- Such a witty name lol. There is just something about having red nails that makes you feel so powerful and ready to take on the world! 


The best things I thought about them are:
  1. The brush is big enough to fit your entire nail so one swoop is enough to cover it all in whatever your favourite colour may be;)This makes that sticky mess when you are going over and over one nail to cover it all a thing of the past.
  2. It drys in literally 10 seconds. So no more waiting around to apply another coat!
  3. Its long lasting which means it wont start to chip for a few days .
  4. Also the finish on them is so shiny which means a clear top coat isn't necessary to get that shine! (I didn't use one on mine)
  5. The size of the bottle! I think I will have these for a pretty long time. 'This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship'-Casablanca LOL

I am definitely going to buy some new colours from this range, because as a student you're always trying to save them dollaaa billzzz;) 

Have a great weekend everyone, its almost here!! #wooo
 Xoxo

Easy flower nails tutorial:)

One of my favourite things to do is paint my nails! I may have a slight addiction (admitting it is the first step, right?). Literally everytime I'm in the shops I cant help but pick up a nice new nail polish to add to my ever growing collection! So I decided to take pics of the design I did today and show you how I did it:) 

I love this quick and easy summer nail design! ♡It's great when your running some were and want to do a cute nail design in under 10 minutes;)


Firstly we need two (I used two bright colours as it was a lovely sunny day and decided it suited my mood lol) different colours for the base. I used two coats of barry m's gel nail polish to give it abit of POWWW! °•○●

I then used my white and blue pin-top nail varnishes (you can use a tooth pick or dotting tool aswel) to do four dots for the petals. After about 30 seconds the dots get a bit sticky, when this happens dip the pintop into one of the dots and glide it into the centre of the four dots. When that drys use a different colour for the centre of the flower:)

Use a clear top coat to even everything out and make it look slick and shiny!
Cute flowery nails under ten mins;) enjoy!!
