Work Out - What To Wear

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well on this sunny day!

I wanted to do a post on what to wear when you work out or, go to the gym.

Now it's getting hotter what we wear to work out is going to change. I like to

wear things that are comfortable but also cute and that compliment my body.

Hope it help gives you some inspiration!

What I Got For My Birthday

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

On Friday 17th it was my 22nd birthday! I had such a lovely weekend celebrating.

On the Friday I went to London with my mum and got a few things with my birthday money.

I got gifts from my family and friends also I wanted to show you. (Also, just to say I appreciate

everything I got from everyone for my birthday and thank you all!)

Hope you enjoy!

Toshiba 32 inch Smart HD Ready Freeview LED TV

My mum got me this as my big gift as, I've had a 15 inch or something silly in my room for the past 4/5

years so, I was definitely in need of an upgrade!

Mac Lipstick in Lovelorn

I got this lipstick from my best friend Emma. This is actually my first Mac lipstick too. 

t's a beautiful colour and I'm actually obsessed with it! Thank you Em!

Zara White Perfume

I also got this from Emma! It's such a refreshing scent and is perfume for summer.

Mac Gift Card

I got this gift card from my older sister as she knows I love Mac! Thank you Amy.

Forever 21 Sunglasses

I'm getting summer ready so wanted to add a pretty pair of sunglasses to my collection. These look so

much more expensive than they really are. 

Forever 21 Classic V-Neck in White & Grey

I'm a little bit obsessed with v-necks. I got one from forever 21 a while ago and it's such great quality so, I

had to stock up on some of my favourite colours. I actually got 2 white and 2 grey ones as they are only £3 each!

I kind of wish I got even more now too for that price.

Forever 21 Khaki Shorts

These shorts are perfect for summer as they are lightweight, and I love this colour against a nice tan!

Forever 21 Hat

I'm starting to change how I dress as I get older. I've always loved hats like this and they do actually suit me. I

just needed the courage to wear them. I just picked it up and though 'What the hell'. If I don't do it now I never

will. I'm really glad I bought it as I really love it!

VS PINK Flip Flops

I went in Victoria's Secret and pretty much wanted the whole store. I did resist and just look at the Pink range. I

loved it all so much but, I think if I get any more lounge or gym wear I could open up shop! I just got some cute

flip flops that are a very pretty summery colour!

Bershka White Jeans (Not pictured)

I wanted white jeans for ages! I wasnt sure if I wanted ripped ones though. I saw these in Bershka which, have

one little rip in one of the knees and though it was the perfect amount. They're such a great summer staple. I am

worried or getting them dirty though as I'm THE clumsiest person.

Bershka White Ripped Shorts

I also wanted a white pair of denim shorts. I think they would be perfect over a bikini with a tank top. Perfect

cute summer outfit!

What's In My Bag?

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

Today I wanted to do an updated 'what's in my bag' as, the last one I did was quite a while ago now.

Also, I got a new bag recently and got a great deal on it so wanted to share it with you as it's so pretty!

Enjoy.

Carvela Edee Double Handle Plate Shoulder Bag (Tk Maxx/Very)

I got this bag recently as a little birthday present to myself. I saw it in TK Maxx. In store it said £29.99 on

the price tag but on to website it comes up as 39.99 so I'm not sure why but, either way it's a lot cheaper then

it is originally. I was eyeing it up on the Very website but when I saw it in TK Maxx for this price I just grabbed

it! It's so spacious and pretty and I love the fact it has a longer strap too so you can carry it on your shoulder

instead. I love the colour and the gold accents on it too. If you see it I say get it for this price!

New Design Purse

I got this purse a while ago in TK Maxx also but can't find a link unfortunately. It's just a nude colour and is

has lots of card room which, is perfect! I do need a new purse though as it is getting a bit tatty.

H&M Butterly Coin Purse

I carry change all the time for parking so I prefer to carry it seperately so my purse isn't too heavy. It's just a

cute coin purse and carries a lot.

Keys

Just my keys with my house and car keys on it! Pretty Essential.

Aveeno Hand Cream

I don't really need to use hand cream as my hands are soft anyway. I just like to keep it handy in case I do

get dry hands.

Thierry Mugler Alien Eau de Parfum Refillable

My signature perfume. I like to keep it in my bag with me just to top up through out the day.

I do have a travel one I prefer to take around with me but I've ran out.

Tesco Pro Formula Hand Wipes & Hand Sanitiser

I like to keep these things with me as I'm fussy about things I touch in public. It's good to clean your

steering wheel and phone with the wipes also as a lot of bacteria builds up there.

Carmex Lip Pot Original

I get really dry lips so I carry this around with me all day. I'm constantly using it and it's

the best lip balm I've used.

Interior Inspiration

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

Today I wanted to do a different kind of post. I love interior design and love decorating

so, I wanted to help give a little inspiration for anyone else who needs it.

Hope you enjoy!

Notepads - TK Maxx

I collect notebooks, especially white and hold ones. I love

the simplicity of them and the quotes on them are so inspiring.

Bon Bon Jar - TK Maxx

Vase with Gold Rim - Wilkinsons

I love storing my make-up brushes and sponges in jars and vases.

You can see them better and also look so pretty sat on your desk.

Drawers - Muji

Candle - Sainsburys

I store the majority of my make-up in these Muji drawers as I like seeing my make-up on display.

I also love having inspirational books sat on my desk so it reminds me to work out more and eat better.

Initial S Glass - Matalan

I found this really lovely glass in Matalan with my initial.I thought it

would be pretty to store a few of my nicer make-up brushes in there.

Initial S Pillows - Matalan

Chevron Pillows - Primark

I always wanted pillows with my initial on them. I think it looks so simple

yet so pretty. I love having white bedding with just a little bit of colour.

Top 5 Spring/Summer Make-up Picks

Hello everyone! Hope you're well.

Today I'm showing you my top 5 spring/summer make up products.

With it getting hotter I tend to wear less make-up, but I like to wear a few

products so I still look like me!

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in 01

This gives a perfect hint of matte bronzer over the skin for a little colour to the face

with out being too over powering.

Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara in Medium Brown

I use this mascara everyday anyway, but for a simple pick up I just swipe this over my brows to keep

them in place and add a bit of colour for definition.

Maybelline Colorsensational Elixir Lip in Caramel Infused

I don't like to always wear a bold lip when it's hot. If I just want a little colour, this is my perfect go

to nude gloss!

Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette in Hot Spice

I love adding a bit of blush in the hotter weather for a pretty colour on the cheeks. With this palette you

can choose for a beautiful range of shades.

LOreal Paris Nude Magique Eau De Teint Foundation in Warm Ivory

This is a great light coverage foundation for when I want to have more natural look.

A Little Beauty Bay Haul

Hello everyone! Hope everyone's having a great Easter so far!

Recently I bought a few goodies for myself from Beauty Bay. It was a bit pricey, but I got a few

discounts and it's my birthday present to myself, as I've wanted all these things for such a long time.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Pro Series Contour Kit - Medium/Tan

I wanted to start getting in to contouring, and I've heard a lot of good things about this palette. I think I'd suit

the lighter palette better but this was all that was available and I got a discount of about £8/9 so I just bought it

anyway. It actually suits me in colour. Just got to blend well! So far I love using this. I don't like to to a very

strong contour because it can look un-natural. I do still want to purchase the lighter palette though.

Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Treatment Mask

Another one I've been wanting to try for a long time. I've seen review after review, and people constantly saying

that this is their favourite mask to use. I have blemish prone skin, yet it can be dehydrated. I've never had a mask

that both hydrates and clears skin of blemishes all in one. I'm shocked at how it combats so many different things at

one. I've used it twice and I usually like to feel my face masks working. This mask doesn't do that but you can see

it works. It just calms the skin down so much and smells amazing. I really enjoy using it.

Antipodes Divine Face Oil Organic Avocado Oil & Rosehip

This I kinda just bought on a whim because I had discount on this brand, and saw it had great reviews and was

perfect for my skin type. I've quite it quite a few times. It does work and is great but the smell is so off-putting.. It

mask my skin feel great and reduces scars amazingly. I just wish it didn't smell so horrible.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

You know this is my one and only! I needed a new one as I used my other one to death.

Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion

I bought this spot lotion as well as the drying one, as this one is more for under the skin blemishes (the ones that

are just lumps that hurt, and you cant squeeze). I've used it a few times and it reduces the spots quite dramatically

actually but the smell again isn't great. It does work though so I can get over a smell.

Peter Thomas Roth Max Anti Shine Mattifying Gel

I got this as a sample with my order. I haven't used it yet but seeing as I've started to get into priming my

face more I'm quite excited to use it.

March Favourites

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well. 

Today I'm doing my March favourites. I feel a bit behind as I way too busy to do a post on Sunday. I will

be doing an extra post this week to make up for it though! I tried out so many new things recently and still

have so much more I want to share with you but I wanted to keep it simple this month, otherwise it might

be a bit overwhelming with all the products I love! 

Enjoy!

Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry Vanilla Hairspray

I picked this up on a whim as it was 1/3 off. I hadn't heard much about it but I always wanted to try it,

especially because it said 'raspberry vanilla'! I really enjoy using it. My old one was very strong hold but made

my hair a bit sticky and knotted easily. This one holds my hair for quite a while but doesn't make my hair sticky

and is easily brushes out. It smells like iced gems to me personally. I'm not sure what everyone else thinks, but I

love that it smells like that. I

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

If you read my blog, you know this is my all time favourite concealer. I stopped using it because I ran out than

couldn't find it in stock for so long. When I finally got my hands on it I picked up 2 because I can never find

them! 

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Lightweight Primer

I was going through my drawers and chucking out old make-up and came across this primer. I bought it ages

ago to review then never really used it much. I didn't think I needed a primer but turns out I do! It keeps my

make-up in place all day long and gives me a more flawless coverage! I got compliments that my skin looks

better after using this under my foundation.

Mavala Eye Lite Double Lash Night Treatment

I wanted to try out a night treatment for my lashes and eyebrows. This one says it's for your lashes, but it does

say you can use it for both. Funny thing is it only has made a difference to my eyebrows. I don't mind too much

as my brows don't look so sparse now, so I'm very happy about that! I put it on every night. I've been using it

about 2/3 weeks now and have definitely seen a difference in my eyebrows. I feel much more confident with

them now.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

If you are a regular reader then you also know this is my favourite spot treatment. It's the best one I've every

used. I actually just repurchased another one because I'm so obsessed with it!

The Body Book by Cameron Diaz

I'm trying to make myself more educated about my body, and what food I'm putting into my body and how to take

care of myself better. I really enjoy reading books like this, especially as I love Cameron Diaz. I just feel like I'm

learning new things everyday about how to better healthier and happier with my body and it's a great feeling. If

you want to lose weight or just becoming healthier in general then, this book is really insightful and a great read!
