How to get to sleep faster

If you didn't know I have major sleeping problems. Literally, it is so annoying. At night I just lie there staring at the ceiling for hours and then in the morning I can't wake up early. I have been looking around for some solutions and have found some pretty good ones. I thought I might put together all of the tips and tricks I have learnt into one big tutorial for all of you viewers out there who also can't get to sleep at night.

Getting to sleep

Hope it helps

Favourite Nail Polishes

In this post I am simply going to tell you what my favourite nail polishes are and why I love them.

Ulta 3- Ulta 3 is really good because it stays nice and runny for a really long time. Other nail polishes that I have used will go all sticky and clumpy after a while, but Ulta 3 stays good for ages.

Paul Frank- I don't know if Paul Frank is an official nail polish brand, but anyway, the nail polish I got in my Paul Frank showbag at the Ekka is awesome. The thing I like about it is that it comes in quite small little bottles. I find with bigger bottles, they never get used up and just sit there rotting away. If they are in smaller bottles then you use up your nail polish quicker, so you can buy, fresh new nail polish more often.

My favourite colour in the Ulta 3 brand is Purple Primrose, which is a deepish purple colour, and in the Paul Frank selection this really pretty light pink.

I hope that gives you some nail polish brand ideas for next time you go to the drug store.
