Lou's Views - The Body Shop Vitamin C Moisturiser

Anyone who has or does suffer with their skin and is prone to breakouts will know that sometimes you can get left with dark marks, now whilst I don't have terrible skin, I do tend to have occasional breakouts and I have been left with a few marks which for me late, along with enlarged pores, seems to be the battle I am having at the moment. It was whilst searching for dark mark remedies that I discovered The Body Shop Vitamin C Moisturiser online and decided I had to buy it and try it for myself. Here is what I thought about it.

If you have skin like me I know it can be a little daunting to try anything new, especially products you think might make your skin greasy. I know I have tried moisturisers that just make me break out and make me too shiny. In fact, it's hard for me to find a moisturiser that is right for my skin. But hey presto I think I have found a keeper in this one!! The Body Shop Vitamin C Moisturiser has been a pleasure to use, I am so happy with this product. A little goes a long way and as soon as you rub it into your skin it quickly absorbs leaving your skin feeling hydrated and smooth. And the smell.....wow its delicious!! I find I am using this moisturiser morning and night and have been doing so for round about 3 1/2 weeks now and it really has made an improvement on my 'dark marks'. The secret is apparently in the vitamin C itself, vitamin C is a natural healer and this includes the healing of skin. The radicals that vitamin C helps combat are the ones found in damaged skin. Vitamin C also helps combat irritation, inflammation and infection. Vitamin C also promotes collagen production in the skin which is vital when skin tissue is reformulating. Think of all these benefits in a skin cream that you are applying directly to the problem. It has all these benefits and keeps the skin well hydrated too! Could it be any more perfect!!



It is great to use as a primer because it absorbs so well and quickly and creates a great base for your make up. What I also love about this moisturiser is that it makes your skin very bright and awake, so if you suffer with dull and tired looking skin this may be perfect for you! Throw in added SPF 30 too and it doesn't get much better! I paid £11 for a 50ml tube which is a little pricey, but as it is quite thick you don't need to use a lot. It is so good it has even cleared up a dry patch on my arm that I have suffered with for months, after2 days use it had cleared up. Its literally that good!! I do wish this was sold in bigger tubes. I will definitely be buying more of this!!! Let me know what your favourite moisturiser is and why it's good for you :)

A New Obsession....Mugs....Yes, Mugs!

Since deciding to move in with the Boyf I have picked up an odd obsession with Mugs. For some reason I cant get enough of them and keep thinking we need more and more for the new house but Liam now thinks we are getting a little Mugged out!! The thing is, I have a number of my own mugs and weirdly I can't stand anyone else using them lol. I don't just use my mugs for tea either I put pretty much any drink in them except alcoholic beverages which I drink few and far between. So anyway I got into this state of mind where I was thinking when people come round to the new house I am going to need new mugs so that they don't have to drink from my mugs, and on that note I thought I would show you my new BEAUTIFUL guest mug collection lol......and a few of MY mug faves ;)

 

Paperchase, like I didn't love this shop enough anyway. They had the most beautiful mugs at Christmas time. I saw them and wanted them but hadn't even discussed living with Liam when I saw them so at £6.50 a pop I thought its silly to buy these mugs for the family home when lets face I don't need them!! Anyway Christmas passed and then one day me and Liam just said yeah lets live together. Well my shopaholic side was getting in a very excitable mood at the thought of home furnishings lol. Anyway....whilst looking on the Paperchase website for planner refills I found my beloved Christmas mugs on sale for £3 each!!!! well obvs I had to buy them so I got two!! white, gold foil script ohhhh you cant beat it so on point for me!

 

 Next, I bought Liam the his and hers mug set for Valentines because I remembered him saying he wanted them for when we live together. They are taller than I thought but I still think they are super cute! I purchased these off Amazon and they were £12.

 

 

 

Now bearing in mind I already own several mugs, after the his and hers purchase Liam said that's now enough mugs for the house.....BUT I saw these in Sainsbury's and HAD to get them for guest mugs of course haha :)

 

  

 

The black owl mugs were a steal on sale at £1.25 each (now sold out) and I just thought they were perfect and then the heart mugs at £2.50 each are just so me! Pastel colours with cute slogans 'home sweet home' and my favourite slogan 'live, love, laugh. I think they are so pretty I just love them.

Then we have mugs I already have that are MY mugs and I just can't part with them.

 

 

My Rafael Nadal mug which my Brother-In-Law got me is my all time fave because I just Love Tennis and I am a big Rafa fan on and off court lol. And then all my other mugs have meanings too, the Love heart mugs were both off Liam on previous Valentines Days, Big Spender is a Jamie Oliver mug of my best friend and is a true slogan for me, the cup cake mug is off my mom, the tall lips mug is what I always use if I drink hot lemon and then the border collie mug reminds me of my dog Molly who we sadly lost so I could never part with it. Then of course Liam will be bringing his Peaky Blinder mug to the new house too.....I guess we will just have too many, I don't know I guess I will leave one at my parents and take another to have at work. Either way I could buy more I really am obsessed!

 

What do you think? Do any others out there have this weird obsession or any other compulsions?? comment below and share :)

 

 

Coming Up Soon - My Filofax & Kikki K Planner

 

 

 

Make Up And Beauty Product Haul!!!!!

Firstly, APOLOGIES that it has been sooo long since I blogged it feels like ages!! I have unfortunately been really unwell (another story) but I'm slowly on the mend and decided to get some blogging done :)

Whether its because I've been ill or just because I haven't tried out any new make up in a while but I have really felt the need to do a make up and beauty product haul just to freshen things up and feel a little bit like I'm making some effort with my appearance (for myself). I bought mainly drugstore products but have a few designer brands too which I picked up from Debenhams. A few of the items I have used already so I will let you know if they are a thumbs up or a thumbs down! I have bought a number of things so this is quite a longish one!!

So I will do the drug store products first and the first thing that I got is from Boots and it is the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in the colour 200 soft beige. I decided to give this a go because I saw Zoella do a review on it and she gave it a thumbs up so I thought why not give it a try and the good news is I also give it a thumbs up! The only thing I would say is that as the day goes on, especially since I have very oily skin, it can go bit patchy but it seems to be the less the out on the better it lasts and blends. I also got the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer, this tempted me because I have previously used the Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation and really liked it so it was a given I would get on with this and its good because it says that you can use it on it's own, under make up and over make up for the stay matte look which is pretty cool. Loving the Rimmel products evidently as I also purchased the Stay Matte Long Lasing Pressed Powder, I bought the colour 005 silky beige which looks as if it will suit my slightly pale complexion perfectly. If you have oily skin like me there isn't really a miracle powder I have come across that is 'long lasting' (please comment below if you have found one) however I am loving Rimmel at the moment so I am hoping this will be a thumbs up!

I always have trouble finding mascara's, they clump, they make my eyes water etc etc but I picked up the Collection Lengthening Mascara and I have given it a try already and so far so good considering its one of the cheaper ones. it actually applies really well, its waterproof and even the brush is decent! It only cost me £3.99 so I have no complaints on that one! Another product that I used and loved it so I have bought it again is the Barry M Brow Kit Shape & Define. If you have any trouble with defining the shape of your brows then this is perfect, I seriously love this and before I discovered it I didn't realise how much of a difference this type of product can actually make! it is so simple to apply and even comes with some mini tweezers to make sure stray hairs are kept a bay! There is a little guide on the back to show you how to apply it and its just amazing, it comes with a wax, a powder and a highlighter!!! LOVE!! Comment below if you would like a full review because it is SO good!!

Do you use Micellar Water? I do and I am a huge fan! I have always used the L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfection Purifying Micellar Water and it got me hooked and I have never had any problems with it, its £4.99 for 200ml but whilst I was in Boots I came across the Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water which was on offer for £3.99 for 400ml which is around 200 uses. I've decided to give this one a go because it is made for oily/combination skin and its a much bigger bottle and I already use a pure active scrub and love it so hopefully this will be a keeper! Can't wait to give it a try. I also picked up Simple Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser. I have never before used a toner so I don't know what I will make of this but lately my pores have been more enlarged so I felt I needed to give this a go. I'm hoping I get on ok with it, let me know in the comments if you would like a review after a few weeks of usage to see how effective this is on the pores.

Onto more pricey products now. I have been using MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation for over a year now. I first got it in January 2014 whilst in London with some friends

and it cost me £21.50 and its the best £21.50 I've ever spent. It has lasted the whole year!!! I have only just had to restock and this is me using it at least 3 times a week!! I don't know how it has lasted me this long but it has!! So I bought another one in the NW13 shade, it is perfect for oily skin because it is a silicone based powder which absorbs oils whilst giving good coverage. BUY IT you wont be disappointed! I also have the same rave review for the MAC Studio Finish Concealer. I use this product EVERY SINGLE DAY and it has also lasted the whole year and gives the best coverage on flaws and imperfections I have ever used. It costs £15.50, so for me we are talking £1.29 a month for full coverage!! You can't beat it, it is fabulous!!!! Right, lastly, I purchased the Dior Skin Pourdre Libre - Matte and Luminous Hydrating Loose Powder. This cost me £33.50 and I decided to get it because I saw a review (really cant remember where I saw this) on this and thought I've got to have it. the packaging is very on point and it looks as if it will suit my skin so fingers crossed its a good product for me!

The Earth Began To Cool, The Autotrophs Began To Drool

The Big Bang Theory!!! Who watches it??? What do we think?? YES it's been out a while now BUT believe it or not I've only just got into watching it and I am obsessed haha. I have been given the series 1-4 box set off a friend and I cant stop watching it! I have SO many box sets on my watch list but now I have started this the others haven't yet had a look in. It's hard to find the time to sit down and watch them so it is taking a long time to get through the many many programmes I have on box set to watch but I am already starting series 3 of this. I have heard that the signings for the new upcoming series will gain 3 cast members $1 million per episode......this resembles the per episode the Friends cast were making! Bravo Big Bang!

 

Thumbs up to this and I hope they make many many more!!!

 

 

Lou's Views - Ted Baker Tablet/Ipad Mini Case

I have had my Nexus 7 (reasons why I love this and chose this over an iPad coming up later) for 2 years now but its only recently after a unfortunate scratch (boo hoo) that I purchased a case for it. I don't know about you guys but for me searching for a case was tedious, I couldn't find ANY that I truly loved and wanted. Luckily whilst looking on the Ted Baker website I found this treasure!!!

This was just meant to be :) I didn't even type it in the search engine I just randomly stumbled across it. This is me ALL over. I frigging love it. Its so cute and it fits my nexus in perfectly. The material is so nice to hold, its a smooth patent design and you can get these in pink, nude and black. I chose this deep royal blue because for one blue is my favourite colour, two it definitely to me looked the smartest and most stylish choice and three the blue gem on the gold bow just had me sold!!! The gem is almost topaz colour just a tad lighter ad it has Ted Baker written very discretely underneath which you can read through the clear stone.

 

If you have read some of my blogs you will know that I am loving gold and coppers at the moment so the gold detailing on this just had me even more. It also features a really cute gold zip. This case doesn't open like a book and lay flat it just zips round and opens like a pocket, easy to just slide your tablet in and out. There is also a small pocket inside where you could keep other small bits and bobs maybe your stylus if you use one, that kind of thing. I got this for a bargain because it was on sale when I bought it, I think I paid around £17 for it and I believe it was originally about £32. I am tempted to buy another colour just because I love it so much but I am fighting the urges because I'm cutting down on unnecessary purchases hmmmm (who needs two cases if only one tablet??)

 

 

Oh the packaging was bang on too....cute!

 



Yoga, My New Thing

Who likes Yoga??

 

After YEARS of wanting to do yoga, I finally do it!!!! I am LOVING it. I can honestly say since starting it I have noticed such a difference. It is SO beneficial which is why I am just having to write this post about it! I now know why so many celebs do it!! Not only is it great for toning because of all the core balance work but I have learnt it is also beneficial for other things too! I suffer back pain but since doing yoga it really is easing, all the stretching and core work is really paying off.

 

Anyone that knows me well will know I have suffered with my sinuses for about 3 years now.....horrendous, but Yoga isn't just about core, it focuses on relaxation and breathing too and the breathing exercises is actually relieving some of my sinus issues! My whole body strength is changing, before yoga I couldn't plank for more than 10 seconds in my other fitness class, but since taking on yoga I'm now holding up my own body weight for 30 seconds+! Totally recommend!

 

Yoga.....its the way forward and my new favourite thing!!

Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else

I've been in London!!! Yay! Total last minute surprise off my boyfriend (well done bubs). He hasn't actually said this was for my birthday but as it is my birthday tomorrow I'm pretty sure that's why he booked up.

 

So I only found out about our little trip at 5pm on Thursday afternoon, which meant after my abs blast and boxercise class I had to go home and pack then just watched movies in bed knowing I didn't have to be up for work in the morning. I got to have a nice lie in why the bf was at work on Friday morning, made us some little packed lunches for the journey and then we set of to London at 2pm :)

 

When we got to London we spent a bit of time familiarising ourselves with the tube (confusing if you're not used to it) then found our hotel. We didn't really do much on the evening it was just nice to be spending time together so after titivating around in our room for a bit we went out for dinner (which actually took a long time to find somewhere.....lost) then got back and watched a movie together :) 

 

Saturday involved more tubes, walking, eating, sight seeing and getting scared in the London Dungeons which is worth a visit if you're visiting London! We didn't get to do everything we wanted to do (time goes fast in London) so we would definitely like to go again but plan better and maybe go for 2 nights, but all in all we had a great time!



Lou’s Views – OGX Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Penetrating Oil Review

I have recently been out and purchased the OGX Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil from Boots. I have to say I am really impressed with this product. Having hair that naturally goes greasy quite quickly I was a bit apprehensive to putting oil in my hair because I have used a similar product before and wasn’t too impressed, however, since going ombre and having bleach in my hair I have found the ends of my hair had been getting very dry. I decided to give this a go to try and get my hair looking and feeling healthy again.

 

 

 Sometimes the saying a little goes a long way isn't always the case but with this product it is!! I literally used a pea sized amount, rubbed it into my palms and ran it through my hair (ends only). If you have greasy hair as I do I wouldn't advise you put this near the roots. I used it when my hair was still a little damp as instructed and it really did go a long way, I think using anymore would possibly make the hair heavy and greasy. The end result was silky soft hair :) After around 3-4 uses my hair looked renewed and in great condition. It comes in a 100ml bottle (can see this lasting a while) and the packaging looks great too, at £6.99 I definitely recommend this!

 

 

You Cant Beat A Good Purse

This is going to be short and sweet, but I had to write a post about my DKNY purse. Since I can remember I have always chosen to have DKNY Purses. Last year my purse was on its way out so I decided it was time for a new one.

 

 

 Even though my thoughts were immediately to scan for a new DKNY I decided instead to use a River Island voucher I had received as a gift. Now River Island is a favourite high street store of mine and I really enjoyed the purse I bought......unfortunately though it just didn't compare to my usual DKNY's. Before long it was already looking worn.

 

 

A new purse was needed. I looked no further than DKNY! Lucky for me this all fell around Christmas and my gorgeous boyfriend got me this treasure!!!!

 

 

I absolutely love it! The colour is very now and feminine and it suits my needs perfectly! There are 2 note sections (one perfect for receipts), 2 zip up coin compartments, an open pocket (I keep my prescriptions and shopping lists in there), and a whopping 10 card holder sections. And even with all this space its still a relatively compact purse!! I am not sure on the price as this was a gift from my boyfriend but I think it was £65, DKNY tend to be around the £50-£75 price range. Love it!! What do you think? Do you have any favourite purses??

 

 

 

 

Treated My Wardrobe!!

Hey guys! So today I want to share with you a few items that I have recently purchased for my wardrobe! I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel I get to a stage where I am sick of the clothes in my wardrobe.....I feel like nothing is flattering, I've worn it too many times, I'm bored of it. Does this ever happen to you?? I have been particularly feeling this way for the last few weeks (whether it's the cold I've been suffering with has made me feel grumpy and unattractive I don't know)....sooo I decided to go out and buy just a few things to wear for the weekend! The first thing I want to share is this:

 

 

OMG I love this coat!!! This is the Blue Check Drape Slouchy Coat from River Island. I saw this coat on the River Island website and knew I had to buy it. There is a lot of material on this coat and the fit is taken from a classic 60's style. It features two large pockets on both sides adding to the look and the sleeves are 3/4 length.  I love that this is slimmer around the arms and the material elsewhere is so oversized (love the oversized trend). The coat itself is quite heavy due to the amount of material but it is not a thick material. There are no buttons or zips to do this coat up (I am pleased there isn't to be honest as it would hinder the style) but this does mean this not the warmest coat out there, however I think it is perfect as we are coming into the March/April months when the weather gets milder. It costs £65 which I think is a good price and I have had nothing but compliments on it. A must buy!

 

Next, I needed a casual t-shirt to wear in the day so I picked up this:

 

 

I really liked how simple this tshirt was, it folds up on the sleeves which I think gives it feminine touch and it is made of lightweight cotton. The logo on this t-shirt isn't printed on with a different material on so you don't have t worry about it peeing off in the wash. I love the light grey colour and it teams up really nicely with some skinny jeans. This was also from River Island and cost £18.

 

 

I knew I wanted a smart/casual top that would be suitable both in the day but could also be used for less casual outings if teamed up with skinny's and heels. I found this:

 

 

I picked this up from the clothes section in Sainsbury's as part of the Gok Wan collection. I adore how feminine this colour is, pink, peach and other pastel colours are great for a girly look and this fits so beautifully, if you are looking for a flattering fit this top has it! The detail is also very feminine bringing a really classy look to this top, this includes mesh around the neck and chest and also at the bottom but it is subtle enough to not be revealing. This cost me £22 and was a great look for drinks at the local on Saturday night so I am very pleased with it. a very good find for my wardrobe :)

 

I was and still am in desperate need for new footwear, ballet pumps, ankle boots and midway boots in particular. I managed to stumble across these little beauties:

 

 

I came across them in Sainsbury's and immediately loved the colour and the gold buckle detailing (obsession with gold again!!) when I saw them my initial thought was 'they will look great with my new slouch coat', I was right, they go so well for a casual outfit! The material of these shoes is quite soft but really sturdy so I don't think they will damage easily. At a price of £15 they are a bargain and bring a nice touch to a simple daytime outfit.

 

Have you done any shopping lately? I would love to hear about any finds as I am always looking for clothing inspirations :) comment below xx

 

 

 

 



Mr Grey Will See You Now?

50 Shades of Grey has finally hit the big screen and it seems to be a must see movie, especially for the ladies! I am one of those ladies who are keen to go and watch Mr Grey, even if its to sworn over the gorgeous Jamie Dornan. I haven’t got around to going to watch it yet but I am eagerly anticipating it especially since hearing so many mixed reviews about it…….some love it some hate it! I think some peoples negativity comes from the fact it isn’t as raunchy as the book but after reading the books I think you have to expect there to be changes in the movie because some things would be just too explicit!

Anyway I am looking forward to seeing it and making my own assumption. Have you seen it yet? What are your thoughts on it? Is it worth a watch? Let me know in the comments below :) 

Lou’s View’s – Bleach London Silver Shampoo review

This product = Yes Yes Yes. How many people can empathise with me on how annoying highlighted or bleached hair can be when it decides to turn brassy!! I chose to ombre my hair after toying with the idea for so long and I was always in ore of how good it looked, I started with some subtle flashes of blonde coming through and gradually built it up to have full on ombre. I loved it at first but after time I started to experience a different tone to my hair and not a good tone! Brassy, canary yellow tones were started to make my hair just look scruffy!

 

 

I tried different colour correcting shampoos and conditioners, the best being John Frieda colour renew tone corrector, but the affects were too subtle and the brassiness, even though slightly better, was still there! Getting frustrated I was about to phone my very good friend who happens to also be my hairdresser and tell her to make me brunette again when I stumbled across this beauty in Boots! As a last ditch attempt and not breaking the bank at only £5 I decided to buy it. I am so happy I did! This product is amazing!

 

Even though this says shampoo, to me this is just a toner. The consistency is very thin and deep purple in colour. I put this all over my blonde, left for about 2 minutes and washed off and followed by a wash and condition with the John Frieda colour renew. After just this one wash all of my yellow brassy tones were gone!! My hair looked like it had just been re-coloured and I’ve read that if you leave this on for longer the effects are even stronger, but do be careful as some people have reported lilac tones after leaving it on for too long.

 

 

 

Overall very happy customer and would 100% recommend. Even though I am now booked in to have some low lights put in to make me a bit darker I am still super impressed and will continue to use this to keep my blonde bits looking fresh!!

 

*Just Note* just be careful not to spill or splash this product as it can stain. Also, read the instructions carefully as using this silver shampoo too often can overtone your hair.



Comic Relief – Raising Awareness with Fun

Comic Relief 2015, also known as Red Nose Day, is almost upon us. I love comic relief, raising money and awareness for charity whilst watching some of our favourite celebs take on challenges. This year we will get to see things from the comic relief danceathon to Dermot O’Leary’s Day of Dance to Mark Watson's 27 hour Comedy Marathon. My favourite this year though has got to be the Great Comic Relief Bake Off.

 

 

The second episode was on this week featuring Jonathan Ross, Gok Wan, Abbey Clancy and Blog sensation Zoe Sugg (Zoella). Jonathan Ross provided much of the episodes comedy with his versions of profiteroles turning out like pancakes and Zoe’s cake almost choking Mary Berry. Its fun to watch celebs race against the clock to bake different things to become star baker. I won’t reveal who won star baker this week just in case anyone wants to catch up on this episode. Its worth watching if you haven’t already done so.


It’s great to make a donation for this cause, and lovely when businesses and local people get involved. I think my place of work will be having a dress down day to raise some funds. Let me know in the comments if you are doing anything to raise money for comic relief, what about the ‘make a face’ for comic relief, getting involved?

Love, Hearts and Sweet Things

Remember Love isn’t just for Valentine’s Day and with this in mind here is a quick post just to let you know what I used and where I got my valentines décor from for inspiration in case you have any romantic nights in coming up, or simply want to spoil a loved one to show them that you love them all year round and not just one day a year :)

 

 

 

To set the scene, candles are a must. I am a big fan of candles they make rooms seem more cosy, warm and inviting and scented ones make any space smell great! I purchased a number of different candles from both Sainsbury’s and Asda, both stores usually have a great selection. I bought heart shaped tea lights (pack of 6) which were £3 and a couple of heart shaped tea light holders which were £2 each from Asda, and from Sainsbury’s I bought 2 star shaped tea light holders which were £6 and I love them because they have a gold colour to them (loving gold and copper colours right now) and a bag of 25 plain tea lights which were only £1.50 (bargain)! I then bought a pack of rose petals (also from Asda) costing £1 to spell out the words ‘I <3 U’. To make dinner that extra bit special I purchased a love heart plate set from Sainsbury’s and teamed it up with 2 wine glasses and a bottle of sparkling rose. The finishing touch was heart shaped sparklers in our dinner, these were from Sainsbury’s and cost £3 for 2 which may seem a lot just for 2 sparklers but they looked cute and made dinner more exciting!

 

 

 

 

Not too costly and made a perfectly themed evening :) what did you do for Valentine’s Day, any tips for next year? Comment below :)

 

 

Love Is In The Air

Well as it has recently been Valentine’s day, I thought I would share with you a Valentine’s post. Valentine’s day for me turned into more of a valentines weekend with some amazing surprises <3 strangely my lovely mom asked me to finish work early on Friday (13th….not so unlucky for me!) I had no idea what this was for, so I finished work early for the day went home to get showered and changed and only then was I told I was off to the theatre to have a 3 course meal at the stage side restaurant (delish!) and watch Matthew Bourne’s Edward Scissorhands!! Wow what a show! The dancing was simply stunning and even with no talking throughout, the cast captured the emotion of the story perfectly. It was imaginative and enchanting. All the were elements so beautiful it made me teary eyed!

Little did I know what was going on back home whilst I was out enjoying this magical show! To my amazement, my other half had secretly arranged entering my house to set up a surprise for me! Unfortunately for me my electricals seemed to be on the way out, in the last couple of weeks my dvd player mysteriously conked out and the sound on my TV kept going……but on my return I entered my room to find a gorgeous smart TV mounted where my old TV used to be!!! Wow!! To say I was impressed is an understatement :) plus I had lots of Valentine’s goodies on my bed! Perfect Friday night!

We then spent Saturday (the big V day) together just enjoying each other’s company and enjoying the home made marble chocolates I made for him (amazing!) followed by an evening which I set the living room up all romantically (I will do a post of what items I used and where I got the from next) and ordered dominos pizza (not so romantic) but it was very much enjoyable to spend time with both my mom and my boyfriend over the weekend :)

                               
                                  

                            

Hello World!!

Ok so I wasn’t really sure how to start my blog so I’ve decided to just dive in and start by firstly saying ‘hi’ :) I have finally decided to start blogging after years of following other lifestyle blogs thinking about how I myself would love to create one, so here it is. The time spent between my day job as a business coordinator (couldn’t get much further away from fashion and lifestyle), my hobbies and my general social schedule, is usually filled with trawling the net to discover new products (make-up, gadgets, movies, planners……you name it), fashion musts and the general lives of other bloggers and reviewers. The products I buy, things I try and day to day routines are always reviewed in my head so why not let you guys have a taste of what I like and dislike and what goes on in my semi normal life. I will be blogging about pretty……much……anything……so I hope you find my blogs of some interest and that they might even give you some ideas about what products you might like to try. Enjoy!
