Super Healthy Green Smoothie

Since i've got back from holiday I have been wanting to become more healthy, which in my case is verrry hard.. But i've been doing it and I've been having very healthy meals and only drinking water.. But water does get a liittle bit boring so I've found a smoothie recipe which is super healthy for you and also tastes amaazing, (It doesn't look too great though)...

 You will need:
2 cups of spinach (I know, ew, but you can't taste it!)
1/2 a cup of mixed berries
1 frozen banana
1/4 of a cup of raw seeds (I chose sunflower seeds but you can use any seeds you like...)
1 1/2 cup of coconut water (you can get this from tesco, it's quite expensive though so you can just use normal water)

 Add it all to a blender and start blending, I blended it for about 2 minutes and I think that was the correct amount of time for mine.

Then pour it into a glass and enjoy! I know it doesn't look too appetising but it really does taste sooo nice! You can't really taste the spinach you can just taste the berries and banana! I like to have this when I wake up because I usually do a little bit of exercise in the morning to wake me up, so I normally have this instead of breakfast because it's a little bit lighter.

If you make this I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Holiday Skin

I went on holiday recently and before I embarked on my great adventure...to spain... I wanted to make my skin look and feel a little bit better..
 I got my first ever tube of St. Tropez fake tan, and I love it! It's fab and doesn't give off that weird fake tan smell that most of the others i've tried have.. I used this before spain just to give me that glow, as if i've already been on holiday and mostly because I look terrible pale, especially in the summer! I'm not doing a Neil from The Inbetweeners though! Haha!

I've also been using the the firminator by soap and glory, I think I like it, it's meant to firm up your skin but I haven't been using it for long enough I don't think to see any real results yet.

Lipstick Storage

I got this super cute tin from tx maxx recently and I have found the perfect use for it.. Lipstick Storage!
Before I didn't really have anywhere nice to openly store my lipstick and lipglosses but this just looks fab and it gives off a bit of a vintage vibe I think, I just luuurrrve it!




I got another one too, and I might do a post on it but it's basically a vintage Kellogs Cornflake box tin, and it's gorgeous, I'm using it at the moment to store my 'everyday make-up' in, like the stuff I use every day (duhh dais) and I think tins like these are perfect to store make up in because they look really cute and girly!

Summer Weekends

In summer, I love having super chilled weekends and what better way to make sure I'm super chilled than a lush bath bomb?!
This one is called big blue and it's one of my favourite Lush product of all time, I LOVE the sea and the sea side and boats and everything like that, so that sort of explains my over-the-top love for this bath bomb, it has sea weed in it so when its 'de-fizzed' there is sea weed in your bath like you're really in the sea! How cool! If they EVER stop doing this bath bomb there will be some serious complaints from me...

Reading also helps me to relax, and obviously my much loved company magazine is perfect.. does anyone else buy the magazine in advance then wait till the month it's actually meant for to read it or is that just me being a complete weirdo? haha


Have a nice weekend!

Fave Summer Nails

Hii,
I've been on holiday recently and I tried a couple of different nail polishes while I was away and I've found my two defo summer staples! Ones by barry m in the shade 'Passion Fruit' and the other is essie 'Fiji' .

Fiji looks soo good on your hands especially when you've got a tan, and I just think it's a very suitable, girly shade for me..It actually dries really quickly which is perfect if you don't want to spend ages on your nails and just want to get out in the sun! I do recommend applying at least 2 coats though so that it's not to sheer.  £8.00

The Barry M one looks really good on your toes I think, I don't really like pastel colour on toes and I think that darker and more 'primary???' colours look alot better but still complement your tanned feet! This one only really needs one coat but does take a little bit longer to dry than the other, and also I was in the pool a lot on holiday and found that maybe the chemicals in the pool caused the nail polish to come off a lot quicker than if i was at home, but for the price of it, it's really good. £3.99

Favourite Netflix Series

Yo buddies,

I got a netflix account (happiest moment of my life) and i've been watching lots of things, then one of my friends suggested 'Orange is the New Black' at first I thought I would hate it because it's very different to things I would normally watch, but I carried on so I could give it a fair chance and I am now IN LOVE with it, I'm nearly at the end of series 2 and I think I probably should have paced myself a bit because I'm going to miss it so much.. I tooootally recommend it, it's sooo funny

Why I Stopped Youtube

Hii,
I knooow I said I was going to try and blog loads more but it just didn't happen, I don't know why I just wasn't really in the mood for it, but after having a verrry relaxing holiday I'm going to try and post much more. 
Anyway, this is going to be a very talky post instead of a short one with a couple of pictures because I want to talk about why I stopped youtube for a bit. 

Okkk, so first of all i stopped because my full name was on there (because of google+) and it was so easy for people at school to find me which is what i really didn't want because I'm soooo shy and if it anyone found out i'd actually die. So i was constantly worried in case anyone just did a random search for my name and my videos came up.
Also, at school we are watching more youtube videos in science and things about experiments and all that (boring stuff) and, I don't know why because last time I checked my videos were nothing to do with the anatomy of a plant, but one of my videos was in the suggestion box no one realised thankfully but I was actually nearly sick, so as soon as i got home I privated all my videos straight away. 
So basically I stopped because of school and my shyness but I have missed doing youtube videos soooo much and i've been watching all my friends channels grow and mine has just stayed the same because I wasn't doing anything with it and it made me really sad. So I think i'm going to try and do videos again.. I'm going  to change my name though to the same name as my blog now (daisybow) or try to at least because google+ doesn't like you not using your actual name but yeah, that's what i'm trying to do...

I'll post on here if I do a video, but I'm still not sure yet. 
I feel like doing a massive blog post writathon right now so I think I might do that!
haha, and thank you to the people who follow me because it does mean alot, I know that I don't have that many followers but thanks..

love dais x
