Resolutions we make and fail at every year

New year is almost upon us which means resolutions are on everyones mind. I don't know about you though but nearly every year i make a resolution and completely fail at it. I make resolutions feeling so positive that i can succeed and i do really well for the first couple of weeks and then quicker than you can say 'I'm a complete fail' it's out the window and never to be mentioned again (if it is mentioned by a family member or friend they will get the I'm disowning you look). So i thought i would share with you some of my fail resolutions:

• Get the summer body of my dreams (if only chocolate wasn't the devils food)

• Eat healthier (have you noticed how much more expensive healthier food is to junk food, so really this is never going to happen because the whole worlds against us)

• Do better in school/work (i do well until someone pisses me off)

• Be overall a nicer person (i do well until someone pisses me off)

• Be more productive and stop procrastinating (this one is laughable as this will never happen)

• Start being more adventurous (thing is I'm such a procrastinator being adventurous is getting up earlier than 10:30 on a day off)

• Get into a relationship (hahahahahahahahaha nuff said)

• Stop arguing with siblings (would be easier if there soul purpose in life wasn't to piss me off)

• Stop spending money on things i don't need (however most of my money does go on snacks and food is a necessity sooooo)

• Get a reasonable amount of sleep (would only happen if the internet broke)

• Spend less time on the internet (would only happen if the internet broke)

• Get organised (again hahahahahahahahahha)

Things we've all done

• Run up stairs after turning of the lights 

• If you have a pet i guarantee you have at least once tried to put your finger in their mouth when they yawn just to see what happens

• Tried to balance the light switch between on and off

• kept all limbs inside the covers when sleeping to save yourself from evil monsters

• Hidden under the covers when you hear a noise at night because that cover is like a force field against all evil (note the sarcasm)

• Walked past something that needs doing i.e. take the rubbish out and thought to yourself 'someone should probably do that' then walk off again. Instead of doing it yourself you think someone else should probably do it. 

• When asked what shop an item of clothing is from you say a completely different shop because you don't want you friend to go out and buy the same one as you

• Closed a social network site when your parents are in eye sight because you just can't risk it

• Given yourself a reason as to why your allowed to eat the amount of food your about to eat. 'because it's a wednesday, I've made it this far into the week without pulling a sickie so i should really reward myself'

• Thought about what if secret cameras were recording your every move and how many friends you would have after the footage went out

Tresemme Split end hair remedy

Recently i have been trying everything to make my hair healthier as this cold winter weather may make the season more Christmassy but has damaged my hair. One of the things i wanted was a hair mask that would help for split ends and i found the Tresemme split end hair remedy. I have been using this for about two months now and can honestly say it has worked wonders. I have been using this after shampooing and conditioning and leaving in my hair for about 5-10 mins. Using it about half way down my hair, i put a generous amount on and comb it through with my fingers. Once i feel like i have left it long enough i wash it out. 

 I have to say i have used many split end remedies and haven't found anything as good as this. The ends out my hair have become healthier and after using the product the ends of my hair feel so soft. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family and would say that if you want long healthy hair this is a great product to use to ensure it stays looking good. 

Hope you liked this quick little review and if you did please follow me on bloglovin i would really appreciate it :) http://www.bloglovin.com/lysette1996

Situations anyone working in retail can relate to

•  Assistant spends 30 min tidying one section, leaves for literally 5 mins and comes back to find it looking like a bomb has hit it. All you want to do is run into the corner and do this;

• If you work in retail you know how precious your lunch and break is. Assistant looks at timetable, lunch at 12 o'clock. Gets to lunch time and you make your way to go on break and a customer stops you.

Customer: Hi do you work here?

Assistant: No sorry

Customer: but your wearing a badge?

(Assistant rips badge off and rugby throws it)

Assistant: what badge? 

• Every single week they insist on playing the same CD over and over again. You get in car to go home and song from work CD comes on. You then persist to rip radio out and throw it out of the car. 

• You do have one favourite sound that they play on the load speaker though that when you hear you want to cry from excitement. It goes like this:

'Our store is now closing, if you would like to buy anything please make your way to the nearest cash desk, i repeat the store is now closing'

• Your manager asks if you are free to work extra time in the week. Assistant looks in mental diary

Assistant: yeah sorry I'm really busy 

• Get into work at 10 and finish at 6. Assistant thinks to themselves 'ok it only 8 hours i can do this!' What feels like a million hours go by and you look at the clock again and it reads 10:15. A part of assistants soul is removed. 

• 10 mins before you finish work and you have some left over rail that you don't know where it goes.

Assistant goes to co-worker: hey do you know where this goes?

co-worker: I've seen it before but don't know where it goes

Assistant: ok ill keep looking 

waits for co-worker to disappear and shoves clothing item in random rail whilst whispering to the clothing item 'you belong here now'. 

Thanks for reading, if you work in retail you may be able to relate to some of this haha.

Cute Christmas Picture frames

All you will need to make these festive picture is:

Frame (i went for a small one from Wilkos which was about £1.30)
Glue
Wrapping paper
White paint
Sponge
Scissors

First of all take apart the frame and put to one side the frame and glass as all you will need is the backing till the end.

Then place the flat side of the backing onto the plain side of the wrapping paper and draw round so that you know how much wrapping paper you will need to cover the inside of the frame.

Once you have cut out the rectangle glue onto wooden backing on the flat side that will be the inside of the frame. If the wrapping paper is a bit too big it doesn't matter just cut down to size. It doesn't matter if the paper isn't cut neatly because the edges of the inside bit will be covered by the frame so you won't be able to see. 

Then using the sponge dip it into the white paint and sponge onto the edge of the paper and this will create a snowy window look. If you wanted to you could use white spray paint instead of paint however i find this can be messier and doesn't cut down that much time. 

Then once the paint is dry put the frame back together and enjoy your festive frame. If you wanted to you could write inside a festive message for example 'baby it's cold outside' but because of the paper i chose i wanted it to stay plain.

Christmas traditions

We all have some sort of Christmas tradition whether it be going to the Church on Christmas eve or putting the tree up with all the family and even though your tradition may not be the most enjoyable you know it's not christmas until you do it. So i thought i would share mine and my mums tradition with you. Every year since i was about 6 i have been given a christmas tree ornament by my mum on the day we put up the tree. When she started the tradition she said to me she will give me an ornament every christmas so when I'm older i'll have my own personal collection. She also said i can look at every ornament and remember the christmas i was given them. This is my tradition that i will carry on when I'm older and have children and i think it's things like this that make christmas with the family even more special.
