What I've been up to.

So there's been some media silence from me, mainly on here as I've had a very busy few months and haven't had much head space for blogging which is really sad as I enjoy it so much. But now I'm back!

I've helped plan a hen do and a baby shower, which take up a lot of time. The outcomes of both were great fun and everyone seemed to really enjoy them.

We went on holiday to Turkey with my Grandma, which was out first holiday abroad together and was amazing. I've been going to Turkey with my Grandma for nearly 13 years now and love it out there so it was really important to me that Jack enjoyed it too, luckily he did! phew!

We've also been to two of our friends wedding which were amazing days. We got to see a lot of our friends who we hadn't managed to in a long time and was great to catch up.

We've had many nights in, and a few nights out. I've had a lot of bad days, but also good days. I'm getting there.

 



I've been having a lot of cuddles with my two girls, which are complete time wasters, but completely gorgeous.

Plus we've moved house!  Check out my moving vlog.

This week is going to be a week of blog posts, one every night. I'm very excited, and can't wait for you guys to have a read.

I'm also going to be filming some videos this week, including a review of the new Body shop face masks and Jack doing my make up which I think is going to be hilarious!

Much Love,

Hair cut

I don't know about you, but having my hair cut is a relatively big deal, anything more than a trim anyway!

I have been dying my hair for as long as I can remember and I get bored with the colour very easily as you can see below. The cut however... I'm definitely more of a 'keep the length I just need a trim' kinda girl.

 

I took the plunge yesterday and had my hair cut properly to get rid of all the horrible, straggly, damaged ends and... I love it!

I definitely didn't expect to, and I still want my hair long, but it looks so much healthier than it has in a long, long time..

One of my best friends is getting married next weekend and I'm a bridesmaid so wanted to make sure that my hair was as decent as it could be for the photos.

Mission accomplished!

Does anyone else have the dread of getting more than a trim? Or just me?!

Much Love,

What I've been loving recently.

Hi guys,

The last month or so I've been putting by some of my favourite products to share with you all. It's a bit of a mixture of products and brands, so... enjoy!

First things first... They are all minis which makes my heart happy! I fricking love minis, as many people do, so they kind of end up being favourites with that reason alone. 

This micellar water is hugely popular, Garnier have made an awesome product right here. The fact that it is so easily accessible in this mini version is amazing, especially for travel. I picked this one up for £1 in the poundshop which is even better. 

I find this the best high street make up remover at the moment instead of using wipes that are not good for my skin. 

For Primer, my Aunty got me this as a present and I'm loving it. It's the No.7 Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer. It is a creamy texture and smells lovely, it soaks into your skin really well too. I usually moisturise and then pop this on and let it all sink in before putting my make up on. Plus it's super affordable. 

Next up is the POP palette which I received in a Birchbox a few months back I believe. I was skeptical as I am with most eye shadows, but I really liked the colour choice and so I gave it a go. Now, all three are surprisingly pigmented and easy to blend too. I would definitely recommend it and it's small enough that it is perfect for your handbag too. 

These next two products are both Benefit products, and having been a previous Benebabe, I do like most of their stuff.
I was super impressed with this lash primer when I first got it and I still am, in fact I now need to purchase a new one as this has almost run out which makes me sad. I have the shortest eyelashes known to women! This gives my lashes a boost, a helping hand if you will, and helps me get the length and volume I want. I then put whichever mascara I'm currently using over the top and voila!

Lastly is Benefit's Gimme Brow which I received in a goodie bag of theirs at some point. I'm skeptical of brow products as we already know, so wasn't 100% sure about this to start with. However, I now use it alongside my current powder/brush combo and it really helps to set the powder without making it look caked on and to give that extra depth and dimension also. The tiny brush is perfect for the job!

What have you all been loving recently? I'd love to know and get some more recommendations.

Lush Haul

A few weeks ago I took it upon myself to top up my current Lush box as it was starting to get a bit low... that's my excuse if anyone asks... 

Firstly, I picked up my all time favourite bubble bar, The Comforter. It smells amazing! It is packed with Cassis absolute which makes it smell so berrylicious, along with bergamot oil and cypress oil to make it super luxurious. It's a massive bubble bar so it lasts a good few baths. If you haven't tried it, you need this in your life!

Next up, another bubble bar, it is SUPER pretty and it's a fricking Unicorn horn! I feel like this is a cult Lush lover item and I am definitely a lover. As soon as I saw my local store had received a delivery I got down there as soon as I could. It is packed with Neroli and Lavender, but mainly looks sooo amazing.

Next I got two things I'm going to use together. I had seen a video on Insta that my local store had put up and they had named Luxury Dream. It was so stunning, a dark, glittery heaven. So I asked one of the very helpful ladies to get my hands on what they used to make it. Here I have the Blackberry bath bomb and Sunnyside. 

Blackberry is filled with Bergamot and Frankincence, whilst Sunnyside is a glitter lovers dream and is what gives it the sparkle as well as being packed with Tangerine, Lemon and Wild Orange Oils.

As soon as I get round to trying this combo I will be sure to stick it on Insta.

Lastly, I was very lucky to receive a free sample of the Plum Rain shower gel. This smells insane. It is filled with real plum juice, sicilian mandarin oil along with carrageenan seaweed to soften your skin. I am honestly in love with this shower gel, it does everything it says on the tin, and leaves my skin smelling and feeling amazing. I will definitely be purchasing this next time I pop in.

What are your favourite Lush products? Let me know. 

Much Love,
