Nail care essentials

My nails have not always been in the best condition. When I was in university I had huge trouble with my nails, as they were constantly peeling and breaking. Over the past couple of years my nails have grown so much stronger, probably due to my healthier lifestyle. Lately I have been noticing my cuticles crack and peel, and have also noticed the skin around my nails is not as soft and moisturised any more. I have quite dry hands and I don't always use a hand cream, which I think I should be.

I purchased Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle And Nail Treatment about a year ago and I love it! This pen nourishes dry, rough cuticles and nails instantly. It contains vitamins A, C, E, pro-vitamin B5 and aloe. I have been using this pen for over a week now (every day as I am trying to get myself into a habit) and I have found it really does deeply hydrate and keep the skin around my nails moisturised. It is so easy to use and the brush tip makes it very soft and comfortable to apply.

I got this Nail Girls 3 in 1 Base/Top Coat and Strengthener in one of my beauty boxes and I have been using it often since. This nail polish has a lovely shine and when applied it makes my nails look much healthier. It is a longer lasting topcoat which combines the perfect base and nail hardener. It is perfect for me as I don't always have time to mess around with my nails, it's very quick and easy to apply.

One of the most important parts of nail care is a good nail polish remover. I use the Moisturising Nail Polish Remover by Sally Hansen. It removes nail polish without much effort and at the same time moisturises dry and brittle nails. When using this my nails are stronger and healthier looking, it also helps that it repairs damaged cuticles. This nail polish remover contains vitamins and aloe vera, which helps moisturise dry and damaged nails.





Another big part of nail care is my Leighton Denny Crystal Nail File in Aluminimum Case. It is a bit expensive for a nail file (£12) but it is very kind on the nails and leaves a perfect finish. I love the slim and sleek look - it comes with an amazing case, making it simple to keep in a handbag. 

I bought this Manicure/Pedicure Grooming Kit Set just recently - it contains the key nail care tools and again it's easy to take with me anywhere. I think this pink case is so lovely!

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

Minu lemmikud tooted - Austraalia eri

Tere blogi, vahelduseks kõigile nendele raseduse postitustele panin kokku väikse listi oma viimase aja lemmikutest toodetest. Olen eelistanud niinimetatud kodumaist, ehk siis kõik tooted on Austraalias tehtud-toodetud-valmistatud.   asap Revitalising Bodyscrub   Paar kuud tagasi otsisin endale uut kehakoorijat ja komistasin juhuslikult sellise brändi otsa nagu asap . Mulle meeldis just see, et nende tooted on looduslikud, vegan ja valmistatud siin Austraalias. Pudel on hea suurusega (200 ml) ja maksab 50 dollarit (umbes 30 eurot). See kehakoorija sisaldab ka minu lemmikut glükoolhapet, mis on tugev antioksüdant, põletikuvastase toimega, nahka niisutav ja stimuleerib kollageeni loomist. Kasutan suhteliselt kokkuhoidlikult - umbes vutimuna suurune kogus ja sellest piisab täiesti käia üle kohad, mis enim muret teevad. Olen kasutanud seda kehakoorijat kaks korda nädalas. Hõõrun õrnalt umbes paar minutit ja loputan siis duši all maha. Nahk on pärast mega pehme ja mina nägin mu...

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...
