Life Hack: French Manicure

I have always struggled to do French tips on my nails. Even though I don't paint them much, French tips are actually something I've attempted!... and failed. You have to be so precise or it just won't look good. Here is an insane life hack that makes doing your nails much easier!

In the Spotlight: Dresses

Hello, lovelies!

Even though it's the middle of winter, I'm so ready for spring and summer to come, especially because in those months I can break out the skirts and dresses without having to layer on three pairs of leggings so I don't freeze.

Today's ItS post features some dresses that would be perfect for spring/summer, and a few that would probably work for colder weather too. Something I really love about dresses is that you can change the look of a dress with a few simple accessories. So if one day you want to go for an elegant look you can, but with the same dress you can also go for more of a casual look, which I love.

And also, I have a question. For future ItS posts, would you like me to feature not only fashion and hair, but make-up too? I'm no professional make-up artist, but if you'd like me to do a spotlight on make-up trends, I'd be happy to! What do you think?

And now, on to the dresses!

Guest Post: Annanya with Kheer Recipe

Hello! Carrying on Seana's and my promise, here's Febraury's guest post by the wonderful Annanya featuring an Indian recipe. If you have any questions, put them in the comments and I'm sure she would be happy to help you out!

Hey everyone!
I'm Annanya and I'm from India. I love reading,  writing,  listening to Taylor Swift and One Direction and most of all making new friends!  So, I'd like to thank July and Seana for letting me do a guest post on their blog - "The Creative Clique" which is just as creative as it's name states. (:




So, here's the recipe of making "kheer", that is an Indian dessert,  and is easy to make (when compared to other desserts :P)

Ingredients- rice, milk, sugar and dry fruits (not compulsory)

1. Make steamed rice. (If you don't know how- take half a bowl of raw rice, and cook it with twice quantity of water that will be 1 bowl)

2. Take the rice and heat it with 500ml milk on low flame for 10-15 minutes.

3. Add half bowl of sugar, while stirring. (Less quantity if you prefer it that way) keep stirring for 5 minutes.

4. Crush the dry fruits, preferably cashews and almonds and garnish the kheer with them! (:

I hope you enjoy cooking and eating kheer, because I certainly do!

Love,
Anya♥

The *Perfect* Smoothie

Let's face it. If you're anything like me, it's nearly impossible to get your smoothie how you want it no matter what you try. You blend and blend, but it's either too thick, too thin, has too much flavor, or sometimes, not enough flavor! So there it sits, half drunk, your good, healthy intentions ruined.
It's also possible that you have never experienced any of this and your smoothie comes out perfect every time. If that sounds like you, pay no attention to this, but if you can relate to my sob story, then this is definitely the post for you.

**The fifth step is completely optional! If you don't have any of those things lying around your house, don't freak out. You can skip it, although it does make your smoothie healthier!
