Simple At Home Workout

I know that not everyone is able to go to the gym so I thought I would share with you guys a super simple workout that you guys can do at home, that doesn't need any equipment.

Before I start I would like to say that I am in no way an expert and I recommend you speak to an expert before doing these exercises because if you do some of these wrong you can do more damage than good. If you don't have an expert at hand then there are plenty of tutorials on youtube, I suggest Livestrong or Livestrongwomen.


-15 Crunches with leg lift (I have my legs propped up at a 45 degree angle on a chair)
-15 Tricep dips
-20 calf raises
-15 sumo squats
-30 bicycle crunches
-30 mountain climbers

Do 3 sets of these.

I hope you guys like this kind of post, if you would like more then comment or tweet me.

Thank you for reading!

Summerish Clothing Wish List

I know that summer will soon be over, especially in the UK we had like four sunny days and now the rain is ready to take over. But I have made this list of things I wanted to add to my wardrobe over the summer, some I have added.



  • White skinny jeans.
  • A some dungarees, long or short
  • a striped tee
  • a pair of brown chelsea boots. (I found a pair for sale on ASOS, £20)
  • White Slip-ons (i bought from New Look, £17.99)
  • Pinafore dress
  • Red and black check shirt
  • Patterned shirts and blouses 


These are the things i have been searching for, I feel that these few items could make so many different looks, but they can also transistion in to autumn/winter, especially if you have a long pair of dungarees.

Thank you for reading!

Avocado & Green Tea Hair Mask

Have you ever watched TV and wondered how the actresses manages to get frizz free, shiny hair? Well iv made a hair mask that gave me the answer and it was made using only three ingredients which I already had the house.

Ingredients:
4 teaspoons of olive oil
Half and avocado
Half a cup of green to (using just one tea bag)

I used a blender to mix this because it was quicker but also it helped the oil mix in with the other ingredients but if you don't have a blender all you have to do iv mash and mix it together.

I added plant of this too my hair, I sectioned off parts of my hair to make sure I didn't miss any spots then massaged it in. I left it for 20-30 minutes (I didn't want to miss corrie) then washed it out, I shampooed twice and then added conditioner to only the ends of my hair.

I picked these three ingredients because they all have plenty of benefits some share the same benefits so I thought mixing them would double the chances of healthy hair.

Results: 
For me this mix made my hair easier to brush, easy to straighten, soft and refreshed, also my hair wasn't weighed down and I have no frizz.

Benefits of the ingredients:
Olive oil:
Makes hair softer
adds shine
is moisturising and stops frizz
helps keep hair from tanlging

Green tea:
Helps with hair growth
prevents hair loss
helps control dandruff
can soothe itchy scalp (it can also help soothe psoriasis)

Avocado:
Helps hair growth
moisturising
adds shine
prevents hair loss
can treat dry and itchy scalp
helps tackle frizz
helps control dandruff

There you go a super simple, easy to make mask which promotes healthy hair.

I hope you liked this post.

Thank you for reading.

Smoothie Sunday | Apricot Delight

Once again I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried apricot, the only time I have eaten apricot is in   yogurt but I wanted to try the actual fruit so I made a smoothie.

Ingredients:
1 passion fruit
juice of half an orange
1 mango
3 apricots
100ml of coconut and pineapple juice.

This smoothie is for people with a sweet tooth, I hope you enjoy

When I payed for the apricots I was stood at the till for about 15 minutes because they weren't on the computer system so it took four different workers to work out how to pay.

I bought the coconut and pineapple juice because it is really expensive to buy coconut water on its own so I figured that this would be a good alternative and bought it, but silly me didn't read what was in it until I got home. It is full of added flavours and also milk, which I am sensitive with, I told you guys before I have a lot of bad luck.



Thanks for reading
