The 30 Day Snap #16 || Painted Toenails

Before we get any further I would just like to clarify that these are Lettie's feet not mine, my feet aren't that small! I painted her toenails with Rimmel's Pear Drop and Model's Own HK01 Beach Party.

Review || Heel Genious by Soap and Glory

It all begun about two years ago with a hand cream named Hand Food. I can't deny it any longer, I can't pretend it's not going on, for I am a Soap and Glory addict and my bathroom is dedicated to the stuff. There, I've said it.The underlying guilt of this blog post has completely gone and I can safely say that I own three, yes, three tubes of Heel Genius and I don't care what anybody thinks. As I seem to have acquired so many S&G products, I have decided that over the next month or so I shall review them all, express my likes and dislikes and then maybe buy some more.
Anyway, back to the review. This 125ml tube is currently retailing for £5.50 at Boots (Oh and what a surprise, S&G is currently on a 3for2, you don't see that very often- note the sarcasm) which I think is perfectly reasonable, if not quite a bargain! Now before we get carried away with ourselves, this is no ordinary Soap and Glory smelling product. In fact, it's quite minty. Containing orange & lemon fruit acid smoothers and macadamia oil, I'm starting to see the origins of the smell. Although I do prefer the traditional scent, this one has grown on me quite considerably.
The packaging is the infamous Soap and Glory pink, while the easy to squeeze, flip-top opening tube is sturdy and allows just the right amount of product to come out. I try to use this product every night (although in reality it's more like four times a week) and have discovered a way to use it that works for me. Initially I did what it said on the tube and smothered a good few layers of the cream onto my feet, put on my slipper socks, and went to sleep. However, for the Summer I find that I don't want to  be wearing socks to bed and I prefer massaging a thin layer onto my feet and going to sleep sans socks. Both the methods keep my skin soft and seem to do the anti-dry heel trick!
Oh, and did I mention that it comes out a minty blue? Slightly disconcerting the first time I used it!
 
So as you can probably guess, I would definitely recommend this to a friend and I am highly recommending this to all of you!

The 30 Day Snap #14 || Many moisturisers

Recently, Company magazine had some Garnier Moisture Match samples on a promotion page. My skin is normal in most places, but oilier around my T-Zone, and drier round my cheeks and eyes so I could use both of the samples!

Thought Thursday #4

 
Self-esteem. An opinion of yourself. Having a high self-esteem doesn't mean you think that you're the best or that you're arrogant, it simply means that you value yourself and are happy within yourself. It can give you the courage to try new things and be smart enough to make your own decisions. Having a low self-esteem, on the other hand, can effect you equally but in a negative way. The constant attitude of 'I can't' and comparing yourself to others are attributes to this. So today I want you to do something that makes you happy, whether your self-esteem is high or low, because there's no such thing as can't.
