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!

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...

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...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers. 2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
