Nail Care Routine
When not wearing nail polish it is important to keep your nails healthy. If you are like me and feel bare without nail polish, then it is very very very important for you to take care of your nails. When using nail polish remover it weakens your nails even if it has a conditioning aspect.
Keeping your hands and cuticles moisturized is key when it comes to having soft hands and healthy, strong nails.

Dealing With A Parent With Cancer
My life at the moment is pretty rubbish, as some of you may know, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer a week after I started my blog. It was a big shock for everyone as there is no history of it in the family.
Around a month later ( a very difficult month) she had the operation, it was a very busy and stressful day for everyone but we all tried to relax to help her stay calm. She reacted to the anaesthetics well and woke up successfully after been in the operating theatre and recovery for over three hours. The hospital phoned us when she woke up, we quickly hopped into the car and drove straight down to the hospital.
The best feeling was walking into the room and seeing my mum smiling for the first time in ages. The strong one was connected to a drip and was on oxygen. Her skin was slightly grey but she still soldiered on. Unfortunately she spent the night in hospital but when my dad picked her up the next day she got dressed her self and walked to the car! She took a few days to recover but couldn't really do anything for the next few weeks because of the scars.
A couple of weeks later my mum,dad,nan and I all went back to the cancer suite at the hospital to get the results to see whether the cancer has spread. The news was amazing it hadn't spread, we all cried with happiness of course even my dad (shhh).
She was driving and doing stuff around the house, which is great and she was pretty much back to normal.
This week she started chemotherapy when she got home that day she seemed absolutely fine until the night came none of her drugs to stop her being sick were working it was a hard and stressful night and none of us really got any sleep. The next day whilst I was at school my mum taken into hospital. I am not really sure what happened as my nan picked me up and I stayed round her house. My mum came home the next day but still looked really ill so she stayed in bed. She is getting better now though and on the mend we are just dreading the next time which is in a few weeks.
I am so proud of beautiful mum. She is so strong and powerful I defiantly couldn't cope with what she is going through.
For me this experience has been quite challenging, it has been hard to cope with and I have broken down quite a lot which resulted in numerous nights of crying. At first I felt a whole mix of emotions, I felt sad, depressed, guilty and angry. These feeling are normal which made me feel a lot better. I did a bit of research and found a booklet to read. I downloaded it onto my iPad and read it when I felt depressed or was having a difficult time. It made me realise that so many people survive cancer everyday and that there are so many people out there who are going through the same things as me, knowing I wasn't alone made me feel alot better. I felt guilty as I felt I was to blame, obviously i wasn't as it is to do with the cells in the body. I found taking my mind off of the cancer was useful, my friends are amazing, they are still taking care of me and watching out for me. I felt myself going out more and doing more stuff which felt amazing.
I mostly felt lonely and neglected. I still do a it now but by writing this I feel that this is me sharing what's important to me so I don't feel as lonely. The feeling I haven't felt is embarrassment, most young people feel that their parents embarrass them anyway I'm just worried about when she looses her hair due to the chemo. But it is normal and I am sure I will get used to it eventually but I have to think that it is harder for her than it is for me.
The thing me and my dad have found difficult is the fact that we have to do stuff around the house. I didn't actually realise how much work there is to be done. I fully appreciate it now. I haven't really mentioned my dad much, this is because he works shifts so he is hardly home when we are and when he is , he is mostly in bed or tired so it has been hard in him but he doesn't show it he is strong and I am so proud of him aswell.
I'm sorry this is a long one I just wanted to share with you guys and if any of you are reading this and are going through the same thing it is okay, if you fear the worst the worst may happen so just look on the bright side. I know it sounds hard but you are not alone there are so many people that can help you.
Bye guys love you xx

What I got for Christmas
This Christmas my family and i decided to just spend it at
home just the three of us. Due to the current situation (my mums cancer) we
decided not to spend alot on Christmas. My family that live in Australia woke
us up Christmas morning around 8 o’clock, which wasn’t a good start to the day
as we were all tired, after a nice breakfast in bed we all got up and went
down stairs and opened our present we
bought each other. My dad got the traditional socks, chocolate and lynx. My mum
however my dad an d i went all out. Her favourite chocolate can only be bought
in America so we got a whole load shipped over here to England. We also got her
a designer handbag and some Clinique skin treatments.
