]]>Blow Dry To Perfection
Get ready to set your blow-dryer on to full blast. The best way to achieve the bouncy, voluminous look is to blow dry your hair. Use a round brush to curl the edges of your bob inwards, and to fluff out your side bangs or face-framing pieces. Set the look with hairspray and you’re good to go.
Shift Your Parting
One of the quickest ways to add even more volume and drama to your hair is to adjust your hair into a side parting. This will pile the majority of your hair up on one side, leading to some glorious waves as well as plenty of volume. A hair oil will add shine, creating some stunningly healthy looking hair.
Take It Longer
Mob bobs tend to fall on the longer side of the bob spectrum. Ask for a cut that just grazes your shoulders. Having your bob cut slightly longer will give you more options when it comes to styling, and will allow you to blow dry in some curls and waves without taking your hair too short.

]]>Balance Inner And Outer Piercings
If you want to, getting some piercings done on the inside of your ear – on the tragus, rook or daith – can help balance out those going around the outside of the lobe and cartilage. Do be aware, inner ear piercings can be painful and take a while to heal, but if you persevere you can end up with some stunning options for curating your finished look.
Combine Hoops And Studs
For a pretty, balanced look, combining ear studs with hoops can be a great way to go. Some people choose to make an impact by opting for all studs or hoops, but generally a combination of the two looks more interesting and considered. Start off with smaller, delicate hoops if you have concerns that they will look too chunky in your ears.
Gem It Up
Gemstone earrings are a great way to vary your look and draw attention to your ears. Experiment with different stones in an array of colors, or stick to one tone to keep your ear curation looking coherent and complete. Neutral gems such as opals work great with silver and gold toned jewelry, so you will be able to mix and match around your gemstone earrings.

]]>Find A Buddy
Almost all of us respond better to exercise if we’re doing it with someone else. Talk to your friends and see if any of them are up for regular gym, running or yoga sessions with you. Going together will make you both feel more accountable (and therefore more likely to show up), and it’s also more fun to have someone to laugh along with during exercise classes.
Do Something You Enjoy
There’s no point in signing up for a six week course of Pilates sessions, if you really can’t stand Pilates. Make sure the exercise you’re doing is something you enjoy. Test out a few activities to find the one that is your favorite, and don’t be afraid to think outside of the box—depending on where you live, you might find that river kayaking, ballet, bouldering or bog snorkeling is in fact your favorite form of physical activity.
Set Realistic Goals
If you’ve got to be at work for 7am every day, don’t set yourself the challenge of completing a two-hour gym session before that (unless you love getting up super early!) Think about how you can fit an exercise routine into your current lifestyle—f you try and adapt your lifestyle too much to fit around the exercise, there’s a higher chance that you will get bored or frustrated and give up.

]]>To Shampoo Or Not To Shampoo?
The first thing to note is that many (but not all) of the followers of the curly girl method avoid using standard shampoo. Some people opt for sulfate-free shampoo, while others avoid it entirely. If your hair is on the finer, straighter side, you probably won’t want to go down this route as it can lead to product build-up and lank, greasy hair. Instead, opt for a shampoo made from natural ingredients, and make sure to work it into your scalp first and then let it rinse out over your lengths.
Frizz Free Focus
If your hair is entirely straight and smooth, it’s unlikely the curly girl method will do much for you. However, if there’s even a little bit of a curl to your hair, or if you struggle with dryness and frizz, the methods used by curly girl followers could help you out. Avoid towel-drying your hair with a standard towel and invest instead in a microfiber one, to avoid frizz and dryness. Check out products including gel and curling foams, as these can encourage curls and waves to form while holding frizz at bay.

(@iseehairbeauty)Natural Approach
There are followers of the curly girl method who continue to use heat styling, chemical dyes and intensive treatments. There are no hard and fast rules about what you choose to do with your hair, however in general the curly girl method is about adopting a more natural approach to your hair which should encourage the curls to form. If you feel like taking a break from your straighteners and hair dye, the curly girl method could help your hair return to its full health.

]]>Plain Porcelain
White porcelain has a classic, timeless quality, and can be mixed and matched with other decorative objects to create an interesting display. White porcelain vases can also look stunning when compared with bright blooms such as carnations, roses, or irises. Place the porcelain in a location where it will catch the sunlight, as the fine detailing of this type of ceramic is something to show off and admire.
Bold And Bright
The trend for block color continues and has extended into homeware including ceramics. If you’re feeling brave, experiment with clashing tones such as burnt orange and scarlet red. Otherwise, pair pleasing blues with yellow shades, or gorgeous greens with lurid oranges for an eye-catching style statement.
Pastel Pretty
Pastels can work in any home, as they can fit into a minimalist vibe or tone down a very maximalist one. Pastels also stand up well to patterns, and can be gentler on the eye than very bright shades. Check out gorgeous pastel blues and greens for a natural vibe, or opt for blush pinks and oranges for a subtle lift.

]]>Syrup Blond
This shade is best described as a golden blonde with some slighter darker undertones, to balance out the shimmering highlights. For celeb inspiration, check out Rihanna’s recent blonde do, as well as Sydney Sweeney’s warm, buttery highlights.
Cool Taupe
This shade of brown may initially seem mousy, but there’s nothing boring about it! Unlike many other brunette shades, this taupe hair color has a cool undertone, meaning it looks effortlessly sleek and impactful and suits a huge range of skin tones.
Honey Rose
Fusing together recent styles which have favored rose gold and pastel pink, this honey-toned pink is super flattering and pretty. Like any light shade, it will require some serious upkeep, so if you opt for this or something similar have a long conversation with your stylist first about what maintenance will look like for you.
Spring is a great excuse to switch up your hair color, and with so many exciting and beautiful shades to choose from, the only problem is choosing the one you want the most!

]]>Opt For Crinkle Fabrics
Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are your friends when it comes to wearing white. Whilst a tailored, starched white pant suit may look amazing on a model, the chances are that by lunchtime the clothes will be creased. White is particularly unforgiving when it comes to lines, rumples and creases, as the whole point of this color is to look polished and put together. As linen and some cottons are meant to look creased, it takes some of the pressure out of wearing white.
Spritz a Little Hair Spray
If you’re worried about fake tan or make up products transferring onto your white clothes, spritz the cuffs, collars and hems of your clothes with a bit of hair spray. This will form a barrier, repelling any orange-toned foundation or anything else that might transfer onto your fresh white clothes. It also helps to get dressed before applying make up, so you don’t have to inch your top on over your face, avoiding your immaculate eyeshadow.
Invest In A Streak Free Deodorant
Carefully check your deodorant or anti-perspirant, and if in doubt, invest in one which specifies itself as being ‘anti-white mark’ or ‘streak free’. Some of the ingredients in some deodorants can transfer onto clothes, and this is a particular problem with black or white clothing. Allow your deodorant plenty of time to dry before dressing, as this also lessens the risk of transfer.

]]>Ballet Flats
Chances are, you already have at least one pair of these in your shoe closet, as ballet flats have been big news for a while now. Satin pink pairs really emphasize the feminine nature of this trend, or opt for a little more grunge with a pair in black or even cherry red.
Bows
Whether you’re wearing them in your hair, on your jewelry, or scattered right across your clothes, bows are seriously big news. A bow blouse is a great way to start if you want to wear this trend into the office, and for the weekends opt for a velvet or satin hair bow to create a really pretty look.
Tutu-style Skirt
Whilst the idea of wearing an actual tutu may terrify you, there are some clever high street takes on this ballet classic. Try a stunning satin full-tiered skirt, or go for a version which has a lace underskirt peeking out of the bottom for a hint of ballet-core.

]]>Itching
Itching on the face can be a sign that the skin barrier is damaged or weakened and that your skin needs a rest. Whilst ingredients such as salicylic acid can certainly work miracles when it comes to cleansing and exfoliating, these ingredients can also exacerbate skin irritations. If you’ve got itchy patches on your face, reduce your skincare regime down to its absolute basics and see if that makes a difference.
Lumps And Bumps
Have you ever had a spot or lump on your face which seemed to come from nowhere? Itchy, red, raised bumps without a head are unlikely to be acne, and are more indicative of a skin sensitivity. Avoid scratching (it’s best to avoid touching irritated skin at all if possible), and stop using all products immediately. Wash your skin with warm water (no rubbing or scrubbing), and after a week of this treatment you can start to introduce products in one by one. As soon as your skin reacts, this tells you that a certain product is causing problems, so stop using it immediately.
Skin Tightness
‘Tightness’ is the term used to refer to skin which feels taut and stretched after a product has been applied. Typically, overly harsh cleansers and exfoliators can cause this problem, so make sure you’re using a sensitive skin-friendly cleanser and avoid any scrubbing at your skin as this will damage the skin barrier.
Not all products work for all skin types, so if you’re experiencing any of these signs of skin irritation take a look at your beauty cabinet and see if you can work out what’s causing the issue.

]]>Books You Love
Perhaps an obvious place to start, the majority of your library needs to consist of books you love. This doesn’t mean you need to have read all of them – add books you intend to read by your favorite author, the last book in a series you have adored, books with covers that really caught your eye in the local bookshop. No one is going to test you on the contents of your library, and you certainly shouldn’t feel guilt if there are lots of titles you haven’t read yet. Think of your library as your to-be-read pile, but rather than in a stack by your bed you’ve arranged it by color order in your living room!
Books You Need
Perhaps you are an electrician, with manuals that you need to keep. Or a games designer, with catalogs of the best games ever made. Or a chef, with a gorgeous collection of cookery books. If books are significant within your professional life, store them in your library. These books are as much a part of you as the ones you love, so don’t hide them away. This way, when you do need to check one of them for work, you’ll know where to find it.
Books You Want
Never let your library gather dust. If some books have been sitting there for years on end, update them. Go to the bookshop and grab a haul, or check out second-hand stores for bargains. If you’re not sure what you want to read, have a look at sites such as goodreads.com, which categorise books by genre and author and can offer recommendations based on what you’ve already read and loved.
Whether you set up a floor-to-ceiling bookcase, or opt for a smaller stack, having an at-home library can help you to read more and remind you of the things that you love – a guaranteed way to put a smile on your face.
