Valentines Nails


It's Valentines day tomorrow and I don't think I know many people who actually love Valentines day (apart from my friend Dani who once gave out little Thorntons chocolate hearts to everyone in our seminar at uni!) A lot of people dread it because they haven't got a 'date' and a lot of couples don't enjoy the whole mushy teddy bears and lovey dovey cards thing so I've found it's usually not a day many people look forward to. Although in recent years I've found myself liking it not because of my boyfriend (sorry Craig) but because of everything that surrounds it. Valentines Fashion, Valentines Make-up, Valentines Food and Alcohol, Valentines Television! All the things I like right there so what's not to look forward to! So who cares if you've got someone to spend it with or not, Enjoy all that the commercialisation of Valentines day has to offer! And if you really hate it then don't worry, Easter is soon and you can stuff your face with chocolate.

I thought I'd contribute to the Valentines nail art I've seen taking over Instagram and show you mine! I love this shade of pink by Essie called Cute as a Button. This was super easy to do as well because the nail polish brush is rounded at the end, so I did a diagonal left sweep and a diagonal right sweep and it was done! This look may be improved if my nails were more pointy or even rounder but hey ho what you do. I used Soap and Glory Pink Soda for the base (Which I got in this set that is now out of stock but you can use any pinky base) and sealed it with Sally Hansen Insta-dry Topcoat.

If you've created any Valentines themed nail art do link me to it here or on twitter (georgiabeeee) or Instagram (xgeorgia) I'd love to see it!

What's your fave or least fave thing about Valentines day?
What are you getting up to tomorrow?

Recipe | Granola

Hello! How are you?I've got another recipe post for you today as my last one got quite a lot of attention! This one is inspired by Sammi from Beauty Crush, I love all the health videos she's been doing lately and all the pictures of her cooking that she puts on Instagram are amazing! She uploaded a video of her making banana nut granola on Youtube a while ago and I thought I'd give it a go! I adapted it a little bit and here it is! :) Hope you enjoy!
1. You will need: Oats (3 cups), honey/maple syrup (1/3 cup), oil (1/3 cup), nuts, raisins, cinnamon (1 tsp), nutmeg (1/4 tsp), salt (pinch).2. Add the oil to a mixing bowl, 3. Add 1/3 cup of honey, 4. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt, 5. Mix into a rather unattractive looking paste,6. Add the oats cup by cup and stir in, if you don't have enough oats the mixture will be too wet and if you have too may it will be too dry (add a tad more oil and honey).7. Add whatever kind of nuts you'd like, 8. Add raisins or any other kind of dried fruit you want in your granola,Bake in the oven at 200 C for 10 minutes, then mix/turn over and place back in the oven for another 10/15 mins and that's it!
Hope you liked this! Let me know if you make it yourself :)
Thanks for reading!
