On my latest blog post I posted The Importance Of Self Care. I guess for me life got way way ahead of me over the last month or so. I have been feeling very stressed and overwhelmed. With out going into to much detail I didn't realise life was ahead of me and I needed to take a step back.

Podcasts To Listen To

Podcasts To Listen To

If you asked me a couple of months ago whether I liked listening to podcasts, I would of probably answered saying I have never listened to one or not really interested. I was always the type to read a book or listen to music. Fast forward to this current time and ask me that question again, it's my new favourite thing.

I love it when I am doing my make up and I am busy making sure my eye liner looks alright. I love popping on a podcast and listening to it while I get ready for the day. If I feel like I need some get up and go motivation they are perfect to listen to and get the inspiration you need. I also listen to them when I am out walking my dog or even on my way to work.

Why does it feel like it's been a while since I last done a blog post on beauty products? I feel like it's been a long time coming. I have a lovely little collection of beauty products that I have been enjoying that I am about to share with you all. 

I popped this mascara on my instagram and I mentioned how I heard a load of hype about it. I then got some comments on the image I uploaded to say how amazing it was! I was so excited to try this. It's the L'Oreal Paris Paradise Extatic Mascara. So let's just say it didn't disappoint to say the least. This mascara is a game changer. My lashes where like POW!! They were there and they were bold. I loved it.

Let's Catch Up!

Let's Catch Up!

It's so nice to be back and getting back into the swing of things. I hope you are all doing well! I have been offline for around 3 weeks if not longer taking a break from the internet. Something I have needed to do for my self. I am sure all you guys will understand. Taking that little break from the internet has had a positive effect on me. As it's given me the time to think of a load of creative new idea's for my future blog posts. 

I thought I would sit us down, have a good old chat and let you guys know what I have planned and what I have been up too. So go grab your self a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits and let's get started! 

Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser Review

Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser Review

Recently I decided to treat my self to a Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser, as I heard so many great reviews about this product. I was also in the market for a new cleanser. It was the perfect opportunity to treat my self. I have to say I don't know where I have been, I feel like I have been missing out. I have literally been using this cleanser everyday since I got it, morning and night. 

What really appealed to me was that it was made out of all natural ingredients in the product, it doesn't have any animal testing and just to top it off it's an award winning product. I had to get it and see what all the hype was about. 

The Body Shop Shea Range

The Body Shop Shea Range

It's the freaking weekend! Yay to that. To most of us will probably have loads of plans on a weekend. Whether that's going out for breakfast or going shopping what ever your doing, why not start your weekend off right?

I have been recently using the shea rang from The Body Shop and oh my goodness is it good. I am obsessed with this range it's unreal. So I'm going walk through the three simple products I've been loving to kick start your weekend off right.

Mark Hill Miracoilous Moroccan Argan Oil Product Hair Review

Mark Hill Hair Review

Recently I have been a little bit obsessed with looking after my hair a little more. Don't get me wrong I always try to look after my hair as much as I can. I would usually use hair protecting products before drying or putting heat to my hair. Just I think I am doing it a little more than normal. I think it may be because it's January and it's still cold outside. Therefore my hair needs something just to bring it back to life again. 

I think your hair is just as important as your skincare or beauty routine as anything else would be. You wouldn't go to bed with your make up on or you wouldn't get ready without brushing your hair at least. Theirs something so nice to treating your hair as it can be easily forgotten about. 

So over the passed month I have been using a couple of hair masks and changing my shampoo and conditioner now and then. I have been loving using Mark Hill Healthy Hair, Don't Care products. First of all can we all just take a moment to appreciate how incredible the products smell. I mean talk about fresh and fruity. It's definitely a smell that will wake you up on a morning and it'll last all day long. All of their products have Moroccan Argan Oil in them which makes your hair super hydrated. 

Why, What Is a Bullet Journal?

Why, What Is a Bullet Journal?

So a couple of weeks ago, I popped a few photos onto my Instagram stories of my bullet journal. I started to noticed I got some questions off you guys asking what a bullet journal was. I popped a poll on my Instagram stories if you guys would like to see me do a blog post and majority of you said yes. So here it is. 

First of all, what on earth is a bullet journal?

Everyone has heard of a journal before right? A journal can be many things, a finance journal, a happy journal or even a goals journal. Their normally separate journals where you can log things down on. They usually have everything already planned out for you in the journal. 

How To Stay Well Organised

How To Stay Well Organised

It's true what people say tidy space, tidy mind. I would like to think I am a pretty organised person when it comes to it, however it's actually doing it that makes you organised.

Setting Goals And Aspirations And How to Achieve It.

Setting Goals And Aspirations And How To Achieve It.

Hello 2018! Another year where people start to set New Years resolutions. I know I have done it over the years where I think I'm doing good setting New Years resolutions, don't get me wrong it's great if you can stick to them. Too be totally honest that's the whole reason why I have stopped having New Years resolutions, as I could never stick too them. Instead I mentioned in my latest blog post, Things I Would Like To Do In 2018. I am going to be incorporating a few things into my life that are easy changes and therefore know I can stick to them. Go check out that blog post to see what else I wrote.

One Year Later

One Year Later

This time last year I was sat thinking whether I should or shouldn't start my own blog. I eventually thought if it's going to make me happy then I'll do it and see how it goes. I remember writing my first blog post and been so nervous to post it in case it wasn't good enough or if people didn't like it. I'm so glad I just did it. 

What's Happened In A Year ...

So it's officially been one year since I started this blog. It's been the best decision I have personally ever made. I have continued to upload blog posts that I have a great passion for as much as I can and when I can. I have learnt things along the way. Whether that's from my self or fellow bloggers themselves. I have been given some feedback in what area's I could improve on and how I can achieve that. Which has been great!

I have also created new social media accounts just for my blog alone. So I can update you guys to let you know when I will be uploading my posts. I would appreciate if you could go and give me a cheeky follow. I have also managed to get involved in a great community of people who are always their to help you if needs be. 

To think this blog page was just a shell when I started and too look back now to me I'm proud of how far it's come. I'm incredibly passionate about my blog it's became one of my biggest hobbies that I absolutely love to do and will continue. I didn't think anyone would read my posts and to think people are actually coming back and reading my blog posts time and time again, to me it's crazy, but I'm also so grateful. It makes me so happy to think I may of helped someone or even brighten their day with my blog posts.
