Nail Polish Addict




Okay, I have a confession to make. I am a nail polish addict.


Right now it is the winter school holiday's here in New Zealand. The weather is always changing and I have a lot of free time on my hands (haha, literally). Recently I have been occupying myself with a few different things, but what I love to do the most is to paint my nails.


I don't have a huge nail polish collection, just a few colours that I really love! But all I have been doing the past week is painting my nails. I swear I have had a new colour on my nails every few days. As soon as there is one small chip, which there is very often ( the downside of rowing), I will wipe it off and paint my nails the next colour I see. 


I don't really know why I love to paint my nails so much. Maybe because it is so calming and satisfying, or maybe I am just bored and the chemical smell is getting to my brain. But either way, I just can't stop the joy I get from seeing a fresh set of nails painted!


I bought a new colour from The Body Shop just the other day (a really nice pinky nude) and as I looked again at the bottle today I realised it is almost a quarter gone! After seeing this I have decided to turn over a new leaf. I am going to take off my current nail polish and let my nails recover from constant polish.


I will let the stains of the purple colour I put on, fade away and leave my nails naked for a full week! I encourage other Nail Polish Addicts to take this step with me and together we will walk towards a normal nail polish regime!
If you can relate to this please let me know that I am not the only one!

What It's Like When it is Summer in the Rest of the World!

You may or may not know that I live in New Zealand and it is currently smack bang in the middle of winter. It is freezing and I am continuously chilled to the bone by the strong winds. As larger countries like US and UK are currently having their summer I always see many videos of YouTuber's showing the scenery and it makes me wish it was summer!  All of the Summer Essentials and Look books just make me want to sit on my lawn and sunbathe. But as this would result in hypothermia... I resist.  In those brief moments when the sun does come out life is amazing and I am instantly happy, but... I have realised in my life time that this is just a trick by the clouds to make you think it is safe do go out but actually a plot to make me get wet.  Of course I know that winter is not always bad that your attitude towards it may be the problem but when I see the sunny beaches and essentials, I can't help but wonder why I'm not sitting in the sun relaxing.

The Truths of Living in the Southern Hemisphere in the Christmas Holidays!

As it is coming up to Christmas I have been looking back at past Christmas' and have come to realize that their are both perks and troubles of living in the Southern Hemisphere, specifically New Zealand, at Christmas time. I thought I would share 5 Perks and  5 Troubles with you! Perks 1. It's always warm.  In New Zealand December is almost the middle of summer which guarantees Christmas Day to be sunny and hot. I have never lived through any Christmas Day in New Zealand where it rains! This great weather is very helpful with celebrations! 2. Cold drinks are amazing!  When you have been sitting out in the sun for hours on end and are given a Coca-Cola straight from the chilly bin, your face will light up. When I was little the chilly bin also served as a fun game of who can keep there hand submerged for the longest. Even as I get older this is an intriguing game! 3. End of the school year In New Zealand Mid-December is the end of the school year. When
