We love natural beauty treatments. Cheaper and usually more effective than what you find in the shops, below are three of our favourite treatments;

Elbow / knee exfoliator: This is a nice and easy treatment, which only requires an orange. Cut the orange in two and then rub them on your elbows and/or knees. The citrus will help soften any rough patches and marks. Once you’re done, just rinse off with warm water.

Black head removal: Cut a lemon wedge, and drop some honey on it. Rub the wedge around your face for a minute, especially on areas where you’re having problems. Once you’ve rubbed the wedge, leave the mixture on for a minimum of five minutes and then rinse off with cold water. We recommend you do this treatment before bed.

Nail treatment: A really simple treatment. Pour some olive oil in a bowl and soak your nails for five minutes.

The fashion world has been at a standstill since Musician turned Fashion designer Kanye West unveiled his new creations, the ‘Yeezy Boost 750’ with German sportswear brand Adidas.

Since then there has been a lot of hype surrounding release with the first 9,000 pairs sold within a minute in New York. It’s now turn for the release in Europe, with the sneakers scheduled for a release on the 28th of February. Although it’s a few days a way, this hasn’t stopped sneaker enthusiasts from camping outside one of the outlets which will be selling the shoe – Adidas UK in London.

Unfortunately for the few who dedicated their times to camping in the streets for the holy grail of sneakers, the shoes will be sold via a raffle method and not first-come-first-served. Basically meaning that the campers have wasted 48 hours of their time for no reason. If you’re looking to purchase the shoe, get yourselves down to Adidas UK (London), before Friday to enter the raffle. Good luck!

The use of tea tree oil is highly recommend when it comes to getting rid of acne. Due to its disinfectant and soothing properties, the oil will not strip your skin of its natural oils like other acne treatments do.

Applying tea tree oil directly to the affected acne areas is usually the most effective way in treatment. Also containing antibacterial properties, we recommend this form of treatment over other acne treatments which use harsher chemicals.

All you need to do is pour a couple of drops onto a cotton bud or cotton pad and then dab into the infected area. We recommend applying a few hours before bed and leaving overnight. Make sure to always apply on clean, dry skin.

Booties, bonnets and blankets that have been made to match would also be worn.
