Party nails with Prairie Charms*

I can spend hours and hours playing around with different nail art designs and absolutely love doing it. I always love it when someone compliments me on my nail art so I don't mind putting the effort in!

Recently I got some lovely nail art accessories from Prairie Charms and fancied trying out some party nail looks. I got two sets of stickers, one with aztec designs and one with lovely gold chevrons, and a nice pack of silver loose glitter and I've created 3 different party nail looks, bound to get you loads of compliments too!

First up, I went for the  Lily aztec nail vinyls. These were very different to any kind of nail art I'd done before, which is what drew them to me! I went for a bit of as statement and placed them on top of two layers of Models Own HyperGel White Light so there was a big contrast between the black sticker and the white polish.

The Body Shop Haul

Hello dolls. Hope you are all doing well.

I haven't treated myself to a real haul in a long time. I've picked up a couple of products here and there, but with my upcoming wedding and all sorts of other grown up things going on, I just haven't had the money to really treat myself to a big blow out.

But wedding planning and grown up things can be stressful, and I really felt like I needed to treat myself to a bit of pampering and it seemed only right that I call on The Body Shop to fulfil my needs! Luckily for me, my mum was having a Body Shop party so I got to have a gander at all of their lovely products before buying!

I grabbed myself some amazing products and I thought I'd give you a little peek into what I will be indulging in while I'm pampering myself!

How to create the perfect blog post

Having studied journalism, interned in PR and worked in marketing, I have a fair bit of experience in copy writing, but that doesn't make me an expert because there are so many different ways to write something well and the success of the piece determines not only on the quality of writing, but whether the author has taking into consideration their publishing platform and audience.

Still with me?

Content creation is unique to the platform it is being published on and who is going to be reading it, so you need to make sure you are aware of this before you start writing. For example, within tech blogging, readers might expect lengthier posts that are packed full of facts and figures and useful info, however within fashion blogging, readers might be looking for something shorter, snappier and that paints the picture of the art of the fashion being written about either with words or actual imagery.

There is no correct answer, it's all unique to different publishers, but there are a few key elements that will help you create the perfect blog post.
