My Wonderland Garden

| On

When the the sun is shining. And I'm having a lazy lounging around day, I love nothing more then to hang out in my garden. If I'm not reading a book out there, then i'll be hanging out with my animals or maybe even playing around in my sketch book. Evan in the evenings it turns into a magical wonderland with outdoor candles, twinkly lights and the sound of our neighbors water-feature.

There are so many different elements to my garden. All of which can be enjoyed by the whole family. In the summer, our flowers bloom a whole range of captivating colours and our strawberries and herbs begin to show up.






































D.I.Y studded cross tee

| On
Wednesday, June 26, 2013

You will need:

  • A plain t-shirt
  • studs
  • ruler
  • pencil




The studs i used are silver round flat-headed studs with four spokes to secure your stud on the material. These ones i purchased on eBay for around £2.00. I searched in the eBay search engine 'D.i..y studs' and hundreds of different packs of them came up.



Step 1:

Start by stenciling in a line directly down the center of your tee.


Step 2:

Next create a second line roughly where the top of the cross would go. Ensure the line is straight, then add a mark on either side of the line equal lengths apart.


Step 3:

Start adding your stud from the interception of both lines. push the stud in place, then carefully flip to the underside of the top and you should be able to see all four spokes of the stud.


Step 4:

Next you need to push down all of the spokes so that they are turned in to the inside of the stud. This will stoop the spokes from irritating your skin.


Step 5: 

Follow the first line you made, stud all the way along about 5 mm apart.


Step 6:

It can be quite tricky to keep them all aliened correctly but do your best to ensure they are all following the line.



Step 7:

After you have completed the first line, start on the second line following the same process.

Step 8:

Add studs either side of the cross and follow along the original cross.



This will make the cross bolder and more outstanding.



And walare, the finished product! You can experiment with different designs, materials or studs.
Hope you enjoyed!



Bare Minerals Marvelous MOXIE Lipgloss

| On

This is a fabulous lip gloss from Bare minerals. Its in a stunning bubblegum pink shade and makes my lips appear fuller and healthier. 




The MOXIE lip gloss smells a lot like mint tic tacs, sweet and fresh. It also has a minty taste too. 
The applicator is longer then most and is great for precision. 


After applying the colour, your lips feel slightly tingly as the plumping agent begins to work. However its not an unbearably irritating like some other lip plumping lip glosses.


Overall its a great everyday lip gloss which i will be using a lot of this summer.
