Christmas Nails

So, Christmas is over for another year (I wish it wasn't!). But I thought I would quickly share with you my Christmas nails:
My sister treated me and paid for me to get them done before Christmas. The lady isn't usually keen on doing patterns but I showed her a picture of some nails I found on Tumblr that I thought were really cute and she said she would give them a try. So here they are!
Pretty and sparkly Christmas red with a little Christmas pudding (even though I don't really like Christmas puddings, I just thought it would look cute).
My sister also got hers done too:
Hers are just red and green sparkly tips which I thought were simple but sweet!

So I hope you like them too and it might inspire you to have Christmasy nails next Christmas, I can't wait!
I apologise for the bad quality of the pictures, they were just taken off of my phone.
And if you had Christmasy nails, send me a picture, I'd love to see them!
Bye!

New Year Resolutions

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I decided to start blogging after reading other peoples blogs and deciding it looks really fun and you can make a lot of friends out of it. It took me a while to decide to make one, but as it was coming to the end of 2012 I thought 'what a better time to start than the new year'. So here I am, starting a blog on all things beauty, fashion and lifestyle.

As it is the new year, I thought I would do my first blog post on new year resolutions.
Lots of people make them, but I bet only half of them people actually stick to them. I have never made proper resolutions before, only the little ones that the teachers made us do every year in primary school. But as little as they were, they went on a piece of paper and got forgotten about. Trust me! So this year I decided to make a couple and share them with you:

Jogging: I would really love to be a lot fitter than I am so I thought an enjoyable way of doing that would be to start jogging. Every year I join in at charity events such as Race For Life and Great South Run but I'm never able to run far and start walking most of it. So recently I started jogging every Monday and Friday, but it only lasted 2 weeks. So as it is the new year, I'm going to start again, and keep it up!

Working out: Again, this would benefit me in keeping fit. However, the main workouts I want to do is to strengthen my arms. For the career I want to do when I'm older, I need arm strength, and I have none of it! I can't even do one push up! So I have decided to start using weights, small ones first obviously! At least 3 times a week, I want to do different weight exercises on my arms for at least half an hour and hopefully this will be enough to get me started!

Eat 2 pieces of fruit a day: I'm always being told to eat healthy, but I never have and that has resulted in a problem for me. So I recently started eating two pieces of fruit a day and that has helped a considerable amount already! So I want to keep this up!

Revision: As I'm in my last year at school, I have a lot of important exams coming up and to get into college and do the courses I want to do, I have to get them top grades, and I'm not doing well so far. So if I want to get them grades, a lot of revision is needed! Around an hour everyday.

So they're my new year resolutions. If you have made any, I hope you stick to them! We'll work together!
