Well, hello! It's been a while... and by 'a while' I mean far too long. I'm not entirely sure where the last 11 weeks have gone. I feel like I blinked and I just missed it. There's been an awful lot going on in my life in recent months. Not all of it good I'm sad to report although things are hopefully looking up. Amidst all the BS that's been going on I do have a few rather exciting things I really want to share. So, here's a little life update. I've started CBT again. It's been a long time coming really, after some recent stresses my OCD seems to have escalated and so I really needed to do something about it. I've only been in CBT for about six weeks but it's going really well and ... read more
20 Little Things That Make Me Happy
I think it's so easy to focus on all of the things in life that we struggle with, (as evident in my last post), that stress us out, or make us unhappy and that's okay, but I think it's really important to also concentrate on the wonderful things in life that make us happy! So, this is a post dedicated to the little things that make me happy. The little things in life are sometimes the best and it's the little things that honestly make me the happiest. 1. My family 2. The feeling of clean bed sheets 3. Comfort food and a glass of barefoot wine after a long day 4. Poetry that touches the soul 5. The way perfume changes scent throughout the day 6. Lower petals that fall from trees ... read more
Sometimes It’s All A Bit Too Much
I feel the need to be really honest about what's going on in my life right now. It seems that I started this blog with the best of intentions, and then all hell broke loose. I took a break from blogging and pretty much started from scratch again last year, and now here I am. Wondering where the time has gone. It has been three months since my last blog post and I honestly feel like I blinked and it's May. And I'm starting to see now that it's all just been a bit too much for me to cope with. Blogging, photography, editing, writing, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. There has just been no room for me to breathe, to spend time with people. Real people, my family and friends. Focusing on school and ... read more
Best Blogs for Women In Their 20s
Something I truly love about blogging, that I don't really see enough of is women celebrating other women on their blogs. I'm not an anti-guy person at all, I'm also not a feminist extreme. I am all for supporting people. I do however believe that women understand each other on a different level. We are all so different, but all of us can use a little advice and guidance every once in a while. For today's post I've compiled a list of the best blogs for women in their 20s that really inspire me to be the best woman I can be. There are certain women in the blogging world that I really look up to and admire. The transition from teenage to young adult is very much blurred these days. Even ... read more
My First Cult Beauty Experience
Today I want to talk about a site that I only discovered a few months ago. Cult Beauty. I've always been very hesitant to order from what I would call a third party site. I mean you hear horror stories about orders that never arrive (I've actually had this happen), and products that weren't what you payed for (also had this happen). So you can't blame me for being a little wary. After placing my first order with them, I've since gone on to place another order. They're that good! So, never one to keep a beauty secret, I wanted to share with you my first Cult Beauty experience. Why I Chose Cult Beauty I'd done an awful lot of research about where I could order specific brands from ... read more
Setting New Goals for a New Year
This last week seems to have absolutely flown by. I honestly cannot believe how quick time seems to be going at the minute. The older I get they faster my days seems to go! This last week has been spent prepping for some very exciting things I have planned for this year. I've been spending time with my family, and looking back on the last year. I can't say that I'm sorry to see 2016 behind me, it was a very complicated year. It was filled with some of my lowest lows, along with some of my highest highs. It seems to have been that way for a lot of people I know. Nobody can decide whether they loved it or hated it, so I think we're all choosing to just move on from it. In the midst of all ... read more
New Years Eve Makeup Look
This year I went for more of a sophisticated look for New Years, I thought I was going to do a bit more of a party look but that just wasn't how I was feeling. This year I spent New Years Eve at my sisters house with the family which was really fun. We played games and watched Mrs Doubtfire. I really didn't need to get dolled up but I just enjoy doing my makeup so much that I wanted to make a bit of an effort, New Years is a big deal after all. I decided to go for a more sophisticated gold themed makeup look, which I think turned out really nice. of course I'm going to say that though. Using some of my favourite products, and some new favourites, my New Years makeup was a lot of fun to ... read more
My Christmas Day Makeup Look
Christmas is such a fun time, and I particularly love doing makeup in the winter. I think it's partly because I find a little more confidence to go a bit bolder in the colder months, I'm not entirely sure why. This isn't a very bold makeup look, as that's just not what I wanted this Christmas. So this year I decided to go more 'classic' a bit of a brighter eye, a cat eye, and a classy red lip. For this look I really loved how it turned out, and I seemed to get quite a lot of compliments from the people I was with (which is always lovely). This is the first 'Makeup Look' post I've ever done, but I really enjoyed getting ready this year. I hope you like this Christmas day makeup look almost ... read more
Christmas Wishlist Part 2
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 I've actually been pretty good this year for finding things to put on my Christmas wishlist this year. I did a Christmas Wishlist post a little while back and I've decided to do version II. Those who know me well, know that blush pink is my signature colour. So this wishlist is very much blush themed. 1 - Pink Faux Fur Slipper Boots (£6) - I am in dyer need of some slippers. I have this weird circulation problem in my feet and no matter what I do, they always seem to be so cold. My toes will also thank me if I have something on my feet to prevent all of the stubbed toes. Plus, they're pink and fluffy. How could I not love them?! 2 - ... read more
