DIY bow back jumper!!! Fool proof!
Here's an easy idea to jazz up any old jumper lying around the house :)
I used this grey jumper that i bought in Primark ages ago! i think it was €14 and its so boring!
Firstly you'll never a scissors
A rotary cutter, this pizza cutter worked just fine!
A needle!
thread! Any colour any size, once it matches what your going for!
Firstly i cut this ugly flower detailing off the bottom of the jumper
i simply followed the inner stitching on the jumper and cut the remaining material off!
With the excess material i cut it into four stripes for making the bows, they do not need to be accurate at all!
Cut four slits into the back of your jumper, sadly i cut them too wide apart :(
Use the excess strips of material and wrap around the centre of cut pieces.
As seen below.
When happy with the position of the bows. You need to stitch the material to the jumper and then do this with all.
Once finished you now have yourself a bow backed jumper :)
Happy DIY days

DIY Easy summer hair
This is possibly the easiest summer hair style that you will see! It takes about two minuetes!
All you need is, Some Bobby pins/Hair pins, Hairspray and a comb! Thats it!
This can be done on curly, wavy, straight or natural hair. I find curly the best for a big volume!
Firstly pull your hair to one side with a comb, Back comb top sections is fuller look is required. Smooth out with comb and hairspray for fly aways.
Perferably pull the hair to the side with you fringe for more fuller effect!
Then from the opposite to where you have pulled the hair too, begin to start braiding. Just do a simple 3 piece braid. Only adding hair to the top section of the three pieces. As you go along the plat/braid, keep adding hair only from the top section, this stops knots and tangles.
When you get to the opposite side secure with a hair pin. Make sure to pin under the remaining hair. Look in picture pins are hidden under the curls.
It sounds complicated. Is virtually effortless.
Hairspray and enjoy!
Happy Hair day!

The best mascara i have ever used!
Whats the best mascara i have ever used?
Essence I <3 (love) extreme mascara. This is no over statement. This stuff is AMAZING!
I came across it by accident when i sent my sister out to buy a cheap mascara for me. I had ran out and was too cheap to buy a new expensive one! From there it was faith!
I use this mascara every single day and i have never had so many compliments on my eye lashes!
Many girls taught i wore fake lashes, even my mom taught i got lash extensions!
This mascara cannot break any purse or budget as it is only €4! That's not going to harm anyone!
Often when you hear of cheap mascara, you probably think of running, dry, flaky, dirty looking panda eyed mascara! With this.. There is NO MORE RACCOON EYES!
I promise. This stuff is the holy grail of mascara! The mixture is the blackest of black and does not look a dark grey colour. The colour is JET BLACK!
This is not for people who want "natural eyelashes" As this is a very dramatic mascara!
You can get this mascara practically any where, nearly every chemist has an essence counter now! Even penny's and primark carry essence!
You have no excuse not to buy this :) The packaging is pink and black! What girl wouldn't like it?
The formula isn't too wet or too dry and even after a few weeks it doesn't dry out like most mascaras!
Its perfect!
Go on, Love it extreme!

Home Hair Dye.... For Men?
No matter if your 17 or 77 this blog post is helpful for any guy!
Recently i have become alot more familiar with hair dye... Yes for men!
Just for men, Is one of the most famous hair dye's for men.
This dye is special formulated that it only targets the grey hairs. So not obvious changes will be made to the hair using the right shade. It replaces the grey with subtle tones of your own hair colour!
It literally only takes 5 minutes. Something they can do in the shower?! God i wish they had this for girls!
They also have no ammonia so there is no strong smell, no damage and they are full of conditioner to protect the hair.
Many guys are to ashamed to admit they have grey hairs, but many of them get them as soon as they start puberty. For many males, they are ashamed of their grey hairs and think of them as a sign of old age. They are in fact a sign of being a male.
Male hair is very different to female hair, as they often do not use heat on it, therefore being more strong and "virgin" hair. Meaning it has no die in it or is often styled by drying on its own. They generally have no split ends and their damage is nothing compared to us girls.
I think no longer should males be embarrassed dying their hair. But try something that works!
And worst comes to worst they can shave it off and have it back in no time!
Happy Dying guys!

DIY SPARKLE SHOES!
DIY Sparkle
shoes!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a
quick guide how to make glitter shoes!
Okay so
everyone knows from shopping that glitter shoes can be pretty pricey and
sometimes have an awful tendency to flake or peel! Well I have the solution to
this!
MAKE YOUR
OWN!
This cost
me literally the price of pva glue and a small cartoon of sliver glitter.
You can get
both supplies from any craft store and of coarse the pair of shoes! I pick a
black pair of heels that I got in pennys months ago for 12 euro and I was bored
of the look of them so I said why not design my own? J
So first
step is to cover the shoes in pva glue! Sounds a little scary but its like
being back in school!
Gently
squeeze some pva glue onto the shoes all over or wherever is desired! I only
did the heels as I didn’t think I had enough glitter to do the entire shoe!
Then use an
old paint brush or even your finger and then spread the glue out! It takes seconds;
make sure you keep moving so the glue doesn’t set! If you’re going to do the
whole shoe I advise doing it in sections so the glue doesn’t dry out!
Then over
an old shoe box, towel, newspaper, magazine anything that will catch the
glitter sprinkle the glitter over the wet glue. Shake off excess glue and then
slowly dab the glitter with your finger! Don’t go too hard or the glue will go
lumpy this is just to push the glitter in the whole way!
Follow the
same method for your phone cover, iPod, purse, bag whatever it is! Three easy
steps, glue, brush, shake and done J
The options are endless so experiment :)
It
literally took me 5 minutes and who doesn’t love glittery things? J
