Spa Treatment.

[NATIO Spa Organics Face and Body Mask]

Hello lovelys, 
I hope your day has been going well for you :) Just a quick little post about a product by NATIO that Molly and I absolutely adore at the moment. For those of you that don't know, NATIO is one of my personal favourite beauty cosmetics brands to use because I'm all about keeping it natural with all those horrible chemicals lurking around out there! 


As you can see it comes in a really earthy green coloured tube and is part of the Spa Organics range (dozens more great things available that all have a really organic and pure feel to them, hand creams etc.). It has a beautiful aroma of rosehip oil and chamomile and doubles as both a face/body mask and cleanser which is quite a handy thing to have in your beauty collection! To use it as a cleanser you only leave the solution on for 2-3 minutes and then wash it off with a soft hand towel and luke warm water. The only difference for the face mask is to leave the solution on for approximately 10 - 15 minutes and then rinse your face using the same method. 


Both of us have found that it leaves our skin feeling amazingly soft- after we've used it we can't stop touching our faces (haha). We've also found that it tightens up our pores just that little bit which is really useful!  


Overall we've found it's been a great little investment for $20 and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin with a weekly mask or cleanser! (it may be used on all skin types). 


too da loo,

Style is Forever.

Hello lovelys,

Stylish App Icon

So the other day when I was extremely bored and lurking through the iTunes store on my phone, I came across a neat little app that goes by the name Stylish Girl. At first I thought it was just another one of those pointless apps that you style mannequins using terrible clothing options but after downloading it, I found out just what a real god send this little creation was. For those of you that have never heard of it, it’s basically a way for you to document your entire wardrobe and create new looks that you can save and customise. You are able to photograph items of clothing that you’re longing after as well as allow you to keep up with the latest trends in the fashion world.

The app is extremely easy to operate, foolproof actually – molly and I both have it! When you first open the app, you are greeted with a simple looking menu- quite pleasing to the eye. Some of the options include:

Wardrobe

This is where you capture every element of your personal style by organising each item of clothing you currently own in to categories of; clothing, accessories and shoes are included of course! 

Outfits

Possibly mine and Molly’s favourite part, the outfit section lets you create different outfits with your own clothing as well as other clothing that you have categorised in the wish bag section (read just below). It is extremely helpful if you have got an event coming up and aren’t sure what to wear. It also takes the stress away from trying to work things out in your head!

Wish Bag

Wish bag is where you save all the items you want to purchase when you can, usually when that little extra boost of cash rolls in.

Calender

I don’t really use this element as much as the others so I’m not entirely sure what its exact purpose is. Something for you to explore when you download it!

Suitcase

Okay, so I think this is possibly the greatest part of this app. You know when your going on holiday and you sit there trying to think about what you’re going to take with you in your suitcase? Well this is exactly what the suitcase section does. How amazing is that? Just drag your clothing items from your wardrobe and place them in the suitcase.

The only thing I’ve found challenging about the design of this app is finding the perfect background to capture my clothes, but other than that it has been a welcome addition to both out app collections and will be definitely getting used heaps!

We just thought we’d share this little gem with you to hopefully make your busy, stylish lives a little easier! It truly is amazing.

Bargain Banter

Recently we both decided that a little bargain hunting was in order so to satisfy our need we visited the Marion markets located in the suburb of Marion, Adelaide. We’ve noticed that there aren’t many great places to snatch up vintage bargains in Adelaide so we’re going to try and find as many good places as we can to recommend to you guys!

The market was made up of numerous amounts of cars in rows with there tables lined up next to one another- not as professional as some but still just as good! Many of them had neat displays set out with all the wonderful items you could buy. It does depend on where you come from, as I know it can be called a car boot. If you are down in Adelaide and find the need to go some bargain hunting just as we did, the market is held on the first and third weekends each month on the Marion oval.

We started at one end and worked our way round, finding this strategy worked best as you had a chance to look at almost everything that was on offer there. As we scanned the stalls, we sorted out the good from the bad, finding items that we liked and then navigated our way back to snatch them up.

I bought these lovely 2 bags, which to be quite honest I do not need, but a girl can never have too many! I have been hunting down big shoulder bags for a while as I only have small cross body bags. I love them because they are different compared to you everyday plain bags.

The Black bag is faux leather with a golden chain and a tassel attached to the zip. The bag reminds me of a Chanel bag, apart from it isn’t. I really wish it was, but I will hopefully be able to say I own one when I am older, this cost me a big total of $5.00.

The second bag is a brown/ caramel colour with small close studs on the bottom and then spread out as they go further up the bag. It has two small pockets at the front and compartments inside also. This cost me $8.00 and is from Sportsgirl.

I also bought a nail polish and vintage bangle. I am obsessed with nail polishes at the moment and love trying new colours I wouldn’t normally be my cup of tea! The vintage bangle is so sweet and exactly what I love, as soon as I saw it the first time I was looking round, I had to go back to buy it. Luckily it was there and I grabbed it straight away. It wasn’t cheap, as it was $6.00, but I loved it and couldn’t say no!

I was absolutely thrilled with the purchases I made – a bag, purse, blazer, scarf and 2 bracelets.

The bag I managed to snatch up for a whole of $8 dollars, which I think, is amazing seen as it is Sportsgirl branded. A nice rich browny colour, it has a lovely weaved pattern on the front sitting just underneath the cute little tassels that hold a gold bead at each end. It even has pockets at the sides which is great because I always find it annoying carrying around a drink bottle in my hand.

The purse was another great bargain, only costing me $3. Its this wonderful reddy/brown colour with beautiful vine like patterns imbedded on the front. Tiny gold studs outline the JAG purse, (I know! $3 for a brand new JAG purse!) with numerous card slots filling the inside to make sure everything is kept in its place.

The blazer is very 80’s inspired (think Lady Gaga too), with large shoulder pads and darts to give it that feminie feel. It’s a nice woollen like material on the outside- perfect for the colder months coming ahead. I got this little beauty for only $5.

   

The last items I bought were the two bracelets- one has a very vintagey feel while the other one is very earthy looking, jungle-esk in a way. The first bracelet looks similar to many bracelets glued together as it has different colours and patterns in the one bangle. The second bracelet is a lot simpler – a small gap with the ends rounded in serves as the feature of this hard, wooden bracelet. Each bracelet only cost me $2!

The Dilemma.

So after deciding to begin a blog, we were faced with the dilemma of what to write in our first post, we were quite puzzled as to what to put into our first post, what are you supposed to write about exactly? You can’t just launch into posting and people not know a thing about you’re blog……but oh well, that’s just some of the thoughts that crossed through our worried minds. So here we both are, writing our first blog post (yay). We ended up agreeing that we should write about why we started ‘daydreamer…’ and what we expect to be posting about. Enjoy! 

Although we are both reasonably good with technology, creating a blog was no easy feat for us! What with all the html codes to learn and tips and tricks we’ve had to pick up from google. Even though we are kids of the modern age, we are quite late to venture into the world of blogging but hey, we still thought we’d give it a shot, so please be patient as we work through the crazy maze, which is the blogsphere. 

We intend our blog to be about all things fashion and beauty but we’re sure little bits and bobs will get added in as time presses on. After spending ages on the internet drooling over other people’s brilliant blogs and creative ideas, we decided that we wanted to share our thoughts and creative ideas, (although I’m not sure how creative we are compared to some of the other amazing people blogging out there!), with people who are just as passionate about fashion and beauty as we both are! We’re both extremely excited to develop as writers as we’re still both quite young so any feedback would be great.

Expect to hear more from us in the next couple of days with great posts about stylish apps we’ve found, massive bargain hauls we’ve ventured on and reviews on our favourite products.
