Perfumes and fragrences are expensive, especially if you're the kind of person who loves Clinique or Estee Lauder. With New Year soon to be arriving upon us, and pursestrings tightened after Christmas, it may seem that you'll have to forget getting something new to try.
Well.... not true!

Hints and Tips: Jewellery Care
Hi everyone! Today's blog is going to be about jewellery care. I know it's a little off the make-up topic, but it still constitutes as beauty in some way :-)
Jewellery can make the difference between a good outfit and a great one. Seriously, the right accessories really complete a look, and can be worn to compliment not only the clothes you are wearing, but the make-up you wear or even the way you style your hair. But, let's be honest, how many of us actually think on a daily basis about how we take care of our shiny trinkets? It's very important to keep your jewellery looking tip top in order to get the most out of it, so here's a few quick tips to keep your jewellery looking lovely for longer!
1. Try to keep when and where you wear jewellery in mind.
I know this sounds obvious, but too many of us don't think about how certain situations could damage our jewellery before we get into them. For example, you should definitely avoid wearing rings while gardening, cleaning, or taking part in sport. Not only could they get damaged or dirty, but they could be a danger to you or others. Like the footballer who had his finger pulled off by his own wedding ring during a professional match. Not nice!
2. To avoid tarnishing, ensure that you keep jewellery away from perfume, hairspray, nail polish remover and other such nasties.
Chemicals in these types of products can stain jewellery, and some can have a 'burning' effect. This can leave your jewellery dull, dirty-looking, and just plain ugly. A good idea is to put on all your perfume and such first, allowing them to thoroughly dry before putting your jewellery on.
3. Clean your jewellery regularly using a professional jewellery cleaner.
This one's a bit of a no-brainer. Cleaning your jewellery will keep it shiny and beautiful. Remember to always follow the manufacturers instructions though, jewellery cleaning isn't something you can make up as you go along.
4. Never go swimming in your jewellery.
Chlorine is really bad for jewellery, and can cause discolouration and damage to fixings. It's also really dangerous to swim in jewellery, as they can become caught on any number of things.
5. Keep your jewellery pieces in a separate travel box or bag when on holiday.
This helps to avoid scratches from other items you may be carrying and also means that liquids cannot be spilt on them during transit.
