Make-Up Organization - Spring Cleaning

So, with New Year gone and Spring around the corner, it's time to start the cleaning. Don't worry, I'm going to make a series of posts to help you along and motivate you every week. From wardrobe organization to general cleaning. Today, I'm going to show you how I organized my make-up very simply

First, I chucked out any products I don't use 'Yes, I know the Benefit mascara was really good and expensive but you never use it and it's dried up anyway' was often used.

Then I separated my everyday make-up from my extravagant makeup and cleared out a drawer especially for it.

I then used this plastic divider to put the products I use everyday in different sections (mascara, face and lips) and chucked the other products in a basket that I can rummage through I needs be.

 

For my brushes I simply got an empty marmalade jar and washed it out thoroughly so I could put all my brushes in. A nice little touch and if you have time you could decorate it too.


Hope you've enjoyed this post. Let me know if you have any cute ideas and keep an eye out for more organization posts.

How to: Heart-warming Porridge with a Twist

In the Winter nothing is better than a nice warm bowl of porridge (especially if you live in England), before you walk out the door into the snow or crazy gale. This is my twist on a healthy breakfast. Porridge sets you up for the day ahead and lifts your mood. It could also be a great snack afternoon or evening.

To create my heart-warming porridge you need: Oats, Milk/Water, Sultanas, Sugar, Cinnamon and Ginger.

 

 

Personally, I use the supermarket's own brands of porridge oats simply because they are on the whole cheaper and better value for money.

 



 

I use milk in my porridge so that it has a creamy and smooth texture when it's cooked. But to add a bit of a kick I add a sprinkle of Cinnamon and Ginger. By doing this, it turns everyday porridge into something a bit more special with the same goodness.

 

After stirring it in, I add Sultanas for fruit but if you're making this in the Summer or Spring you might want to add Strawberries or Blueberries instead.

 When I wake up in the mornings I feel the need to accompany my breakfast with some sort of herbal tea and today, I picked Cranberry, Raspberry and Elderflower. The Twinings herbal teas are caffeine free and really relax you.

 

 

To finish off, sprinkle with a tad of sugar and eat. What could be better?

 

Thanks for reading. Let me know how you like to have your porridge down below.
