Beauty Myths BUSTED!
Oh those famous beauty myths, leading women astray for centuries. We've all been guilty of fretting about how we do most things beauty related, for fear of our eyebrows falling off, or our eyes turning yellow, or silly things like that. Here are some of the most famous myths busted, so you don't have to waste time worrying anymore :)
SHAVING YOUR LEGS MAKES HAIR GROW BACK QUICKER
EHHH!! This is false falsey, false. I know you probably wont believe me, but when you shave your legs you're cutting the hair above the skin, so it makes a kind of flat edge. It may not seem like it because you notice the regrowth a lot more, but it's the exact same as the hair that you shaved away.
SPLIT ENDS CAN BE FIXED UP
Unfortunately friends, this is just not true :( There are so many products out there that claim to banish them, when the truth is, they only seal them temporarily to give the appearance of smooth, split-free hair. The only way to really get rid of them is to chop them off, but don't worry! A few teeny tiny inches should do it. If you hate going to the hairdressers because they alwaaayss take too much off, just be persistent! Say: "I WANT THIS MUCH *show them how much you want* OFF" as politely as you can. Just make sure you get the point across.
HIGH HEELS CAN GIVE YOU VARICOSE VEINS
Not to scare any of you frequent heel wearers, but this is true. It's all to do with the pressure on your poor feet due to standing like that all the live long day. If you really need to wear them all the time, give your feet a rest every hour and wriggle your toes. Sounds weird, but it's gotta be done! :)
EXPENSIVE COSMETICS ARE BETTER THAN INEXPENSIVE ONES
There are good and bad products in every beauty line out there. There are so many reviews online now that you can almost be 100% sure how the product you're purchasing is going to work. Of course it can be fun to save up for that high end make-up, but there are amazing dupes everywhere.
LOTS OF WATER WILL MAKE YOUR SKIN LOOK AMAZEBALLS
This is somewhat true, we do need water for hydration, but no amount will give you amazing skin. The key is a good old fashioned moisturiser :)
GREASY FOOD CAUSES BAD SKIN
You'll be surprised to know this isn't true! It's foods like pasta and dairy that are more likely to cause skin problems!

I Seriously Love Orange Is The New Black
Hello everyone! Hope you're having a fantastic day and I hope it's not lashing out of the heavens for you like it is here. For those of you who have Netflix, you've probably seen or heard something about this show. I started watching it a while ago and it's just brilliant. A little risqué I guess, but it's not a family show anyway so who cares!
It centres around Piper Chapman, who commited a crime in her youth, and 10 years later is sent to prison to pay for it! I'm probably not making it sound very exciting, I know, but believe me it is. The actors are all brilliant and it's such an interesting concept. I'm sure we've all wanted to know what happens inside a women's prison, and seeing how there's so much that's been done about male prisons (i'm not feminist, just sayin') this is a really cool idea.
I love the back stories into character's lives so we get to know what they were like in the past, what landed them in prison, and we even get to question if some of them should be in there. If you like thought provoking tv you're onto a winner with this one.
Oh, and did I mention Regina Spektor sings the opening theme? It's so cool. If you have a means of watching it it's definitely worth a shot. As I said though, I wouldn't watch it with anyone you feel might get really awkward and not talk to you for days after. It's just one of those shows.
Have any of you guys seen it? Let me know! Or yano, you could give me a follow if you'd like to see more reviews like these! :)
