I Got a New Camera!

It's about time I got a new camera. My old Nikon bridge camera has been packed away in a box for so long because its rubbish! So I started saving got bought an entry level DSLR, the 100D. She was around £400 mark from very.co.uk and came with a 18mm - 55mm kit lens and a few other accessories that haven't arrived yet. 

I also bought a 50mm f/1.8 lens for more up close shots but Im still learning about it all. So far I am IN LOVE with my DSLR!

These pictures were all shot with the kit lens and 50 mm f/1.8.

Current Make-up

I've been so absent from my blog because university is literally taking over my life! That and my laptop and camera decided to break within weeks of each other. Luckily that problems solved and I have a new laptop and my camera should be here within the week.

Its winter guys and it's really cold (spot the obvious hey!) and that usually means big woolly hats and scarves wrap around our faces. I've never been one for either of those things. Instead you can paint your face like Monet and hope it covers up your terrible winter skin. 

I'm wearing L'Oreal True Match Foundation in W4/W5 mixed together (because I really need new foundation)

My Hair, Nails and Skin Holy Grail

Over the past year I've discovered a hidden gem in the he vitamin world that has helped me to improve my hair, skin and nails.
I'm in no ways being paid to write this, I just want to share something I've found that really works for me! 

Sea kelp is a supplement available from health shops like Holland and Barrett. They are tiny tablets that are branded to support weight management because they contain Iodine which is a key ingredient in any kind of fat binding or weight loss tablet.

I was recommended these on the basis of it being a vitamin for hair and nail growth no weight management and after having tried these for over 6 months I can confidently say, they do nothing to help with weight loss.

After taking these 3 times a day for at least 2 weeks I've noticed a dramatic increase in the growth of my hair and nails, especially with the latter. My nails are longer and strong than ever which I am pleased about, and my hair is growing like the clappers.

500 15mg Sea Kelp tablets are currently on offer at Holland and Barrett for half price here
