Hello everybody!
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been rather busy!
I also apologise that this post is a day late but enjoy!
I know that many people do not like their appearance - I cannot truthfully say that I know anyone that is completely comfortable with how they look. Everyone has different body shapes which suit them!
The worst thing you can do is compare yourself to others. I know that this can be quite difficult as I do it all the time, but the best way to help you feel comfortable in your body is by finding clothes that suit your body shape. I am quite thin and tall so I prefer to wear slightly oversized clothing because I feel that it suits me better and doesn't make me look so out of proportion. Everyone is different so if you are reading this and thinking "I'm also tall and thin but I like to wear tighter clothes", good for you! I would love to have the confidence to do that but I just haven't quite got there yet!
Try to accept your body because it is a part of you!
I hope this helped you all! If you have any suggestions for next week, comment below! Also, if you have any questions on this topic feel free to ask!
Love, Ellie.

Advice Tuesday - Braces
Hello everybody!
I'm sorry I haven't posted in such a long time; I have been very busy recently.
As you can see by the title, I have decided to start up something new called "Advice Tuesday". Every Tuesday I will make a post giving you advice on something. You can request advice posts in the comments below - it would really help me out!
Today I will give you some advice on braces!
I have braces which I really despise but it is just something I will have to live with while I have them.
When choosing the colour for your braces, try to pick a nice colour that will suit you - and try to avoid browns, yellows, oranges, and black. I usually have blue braces which I don't think look too bad (I hope!).
You also must keep them clean! Nobody want to have yellow squares on their teeth when they have their braces taken off! So make sure you brush your teeth at least 2 times a day and get rid of all food that may have got stuck in there.
If you are feeling self-conscious of your braces, don't worry! Everyone goes through that stage. When I first had my braces put on I was really worried about what people would think of them but most people didn't even notice! Don't try to hide them away by not smiling because that will just draw people's attention to them - EMBRACE YOUR BRACE! *good pun?*
If you have any more questions about braces, please leave a comment below and I will reply as soon as I see it! Also, please comment letting me know what you would like advice on next week!

Topshop Nail Varnish
Hello everybody!
Sorry I haven't posted on my blog in a while. I have been rather busy.
I am not feeling well today so I had to take the day off school; so instead of watching daytime TV, I have decided to make a blog post!
As you can see from the title, today's post is about nail varnish! I don't usually wear nail varnish myself but I do like to admire it on other people's nails! I have been told that it would look good on my nails so maybe I will try it out!
As I was scrolling through topshop's website I came across the Satin Matte Nails nail varnish collection which I thought had a lovely variety of colours!
I found several which I think would look lovely!
Firstly, I am rather fond of the Satin Matte Nails in Whisper. It is a pretty light blue colour which I think woud look lovely in Spring/Summer time (even though it has become Autumn now). It can be found here for only £6!
I also like Dungaree Dream from the same collection. It is also blue but a darker shade (if you cannot tell, I do like the colour blue). This colour is more suited to this time of year. It can be found here, also for £6.
Also on topshop's website, I found the Holographic Nails collection. I particularly like the colour Moondance which can be found here for £6.
If you are a fan of pink, the same nail varnish in the colour Wistful can be found here - also for £6.
That's it for today! If you have any suggestions of nail varnish, please comment below! I would love to reply to them!
Love, Ellie.

Jack Wills Wishlist
Hello everybody!
If you didn't already know, Jack Wills is my absolute favourite shop. Today I will share a few things with you that are on my "Jack Wills Wishlist".
My first item is the Aiskew Skirt. It is so floaty and beautiful. The colours are perfect for Autumn! It comes in a variety of colours but these two are my favourites!
I also adore this bag! It is quite expensive though so I won't be getting it...but I can dream!

Skin Care and Make-Up
Hello everybody!
I don't really use much make-up as I don't think I really need to at the moment, but there are a few items I use when I am having a bad skin day or when I notice a few spots.
I use "Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash" from Sinple - it really helps to reduce spots.
I also put some No7 "Perfect Blend Trio Concealer" on any areas of my skin that have spots just to make sure they are not too visible. This is really a great product because you can mix the tones to create the perfect match for your skin. It is also very useful for every day use!
That is my skin care routine done!
Once I have completed these steps, I use the "Volume Express The Falsies Black Drama" mascara from Maybelline. It really defines your eyelashes!
That is my make-up routine complete! I know there aren't many steps but I find that there isn't much time to do a beauty routine every day. I hope you enjoyed reading today's post!

My Hair in Autumn/Winter
Hello everybody!
It is now autumn, which means for my curly hair, it sadly becomes frizzy because of the temperature change.
I thought that maybe a few of you might suffer from the same problem so I will give you a few tips on how to overcome it!
This is my daily routine!
Step 1:
The first thing I do with my hair is wash it. I use VO5 "Gloss Me Smoothly" shampoo and conditioner as I think it helps to reduce frizz. For maximum effect, leave the conditioner in for a while and then comb it thoroughly.
Step 2:
While my hair is still wet I run VO5 "Frizz Free Creme" through it as it makes it easier to work with.
Step 3:
I then let my hair dry naturally as it seems that hair dryers can make your hair even more frizzy so it is best to avoid them if you aren't using any heat on your hair.
This is my complete hair care routine which I hope will help you!
If you have any tips or products that you think work well, please tell me in the comments!
Love, Ellie.
