6 ways to spend Valentine's day if you're single

You either love it or hate it. Valentine's day is just 2 days away and no doubt we will see our newsfeeds crowded with mushy posts and pictures.

Although I'm not single, I won't be spending Valentine's Day with my boyfriend... so I've decided not to stay in by myself like I do every year; but instead to make the most of the day that so many of us dread!

So if you're single or not spending the day with your partner, here are some ideas of things you could do:

1. Have a girls night in! Order a takeaway, have some drinks and put a few films on. We all know a night in with the girls is a great way to spend an evening any day of the year, so why not Valentine's day too?!

2. Treat yourself to a little shopping trip. A bit of retail therapy never hurt anyone - and it's a great way to spend the day on the person who matters most - YOU!

3. Get a few of your closest friends together and go out for some cocktails. It's always a lovely way to spend your evening.

4. Go to the cinema! 50 shades freed is out now, so if you want tickets be sure to book them as soon as you can as I'm sure they'll be selling out soon for the 14th.

5. Why not stay in and have a pamper? Put on a face mask, do your nails, and even top up on your tan! We all need a bit of TLC from time to time.

6. Have a night out! There are plenty of club events on Valentine's day, so take your pick, let your hair down and have a great night out.

So whatever you decide to do on the 14th I hope you all have a great day and I'll see you all soon xoxo

5 reasons you need to invest in Garnier's micellar cleansing water

When it comes to skin care we all know we need to find the products that are right for us, and we all know it's through trial and error. Whether it's moisturiser or face wash, each person is different and we each need different products for our skincare routine.

As much as Garnier's Micellar water is amazing for make up removal, there are other reasons you should go get this asap:

1. Acts as a 3 in 1
According to a Huffington post article it acts as make up remover, face wash and moisturiser all in one. Although you may want to use face wash or moisturise as well as using micellar water, the truth is that you don't need to because the oil moisturises your skin as well as removing impurities and make up!

2. It takes those mud stains out of suede heels an absolute treat!
I've had a few pairs of heels I thought I'd never be able to wear again because I had somehow managed to ruin them on a night out. As any girl, I hate saying goodbye to pretty heels. Even though they were ruined I couldn't bare to throw them out!
I saw a post on Twitter the other day about a girl that cleaned her 'ruined' heels with Micellar water, and I'm so relieved I came across it. I tried it almost as soon as I saw the post and my old heels I thought I'd never be able to wear again are looking as good as new!

3. Cleans your make up brushes
I've always used a separate product for cleaning my make up brushes. But when I ran out of it once and was looking for a quick fix, I actually found that micellar water worked better! I was very surprised at first, but I guess it makes sense that it works so well considering it's supposed to be make up remover! (Make sure you rinse them off with water after; you don't want any lingering micellar water on your brushes.)

4. There's one for almost every skin type
Whether you've got dry, sensitive or oily skin; there's one perfect for almost everyone to use. It's nice to see they're including a little something for everyone as it really does the job!

5. Removes every last bit of make up so easily
One of my favourite things about Garnier's Micellar water is that it removes make-up you didn't even think you had left on. After using a make-up wipe and thinking I've taken off as much as was there, I go back over it with a cotton wool pad and some Micellar water and I'm always still so surprised at how much comes off!

Gainer's Micellar water range has a new edition to the collection specifically for delicate skin and eyes. Their range now also boasts of 2 gel versions of the micellar water products. You can check out their full range for yourself here.
