Autumnal Wreath Making

As we are all once again in lockdown I have been thinking of autumnal projects to tackle. As many people are deciding to paint everything in their house at the moment I wanted to do something more seasonal. I decided to chance making my own wreath.

For this wreath I used hydrangea flowers but you can use any flowers you like. I purchased a straw wreath base from my local co-op.

For your wreath you will need the following:

Wreath base

Flowers

Elastic bands

Scissors

Flexible wreath wire

Start by measuring out what size flowers and how many flowers you will need to cover the base of your wreath. Then take a flower and place the elastic band through the steam. Wrap the steam around the width of the straw base and pull the elastic band through the stem on the opposite side. Then secure in place with the flexible wire. This is just the way I put my flowers on however there are various ways to secure the flowers in place. Repeat this process all the way around until your wreath is full and there you have your own autumnal wreath!

If I were to make another wreath I would recommend using a wreath base made out of another material as the straw is tough to attach flowers to. One tip I would recommend when cutting your flowers is to leave the stem long so you can wrap it around the wreath easily.

Moo Goo Shampoo Review

I realise I am late to discovering this shampoo but nevertheless it deserves a review. I picked up the Moo Goo shampoo in my local chemist last week after a friend recommended it to me. I must admit I have been obsessed every since. I have dry hair and over the years I feel like I have tried every shampoo on the market for dry hair. It wasn't until I discovered the Garnier Ultimate Blends shampoo did my hair improve at all however sometimes even that doesn't work for my hair. It can be frustrating as using hair masks can make my hair go greasy faster and my scalp would still be dry. Since I started using the Moo Goo shampoo my hair looks more hydrated and there is no dryness on my scalp. This shampoo is a little more expensive than your average bottle of shampoo however I believe it is worth every penny. This shampoo is excellent and also leaves a lovely shine.

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea...

Upcycling my bedside locker

Hi! Today I wanted to show you a piece of furniture I recently upcycled. I have this bedside locker for a few years. However the top of it have been damaged by nail varnish and it has some wear and tear marks. I decided to paint it one of my favourite colours from Dulux which is Mid Shadow. I picked up everything I needed from Bandon Co-Op Retail and Garden Centre. I will link what I bought down below. I started by cleaning the locker with a damp cloth and then waited for it to dry. I removed the drawer knobs. Then I lightly sanded down the surfaces with some sanding paper. This creates a key for the paint to adhere to when you are applying it. I started applying my satinwood to the locker. I decided to purchase the water based satinwood as it drys quickly and is more environmentally friendly. It took about 4 coats however you can buy an undercoat too to reduce the amount of coats you need to apply. For the drawer knobs I decided the keep them and spray paint...
