MY 4 BLOGGING GOALS FOR 2017

 

Start outfit posts

I would love to grow the confidence to post up outfits that I put together this year! I love fashion and just putting together outfits, so this year I would love to be able to share that side of me on my blog - watch this space!

 

Makeup Looks

Of course, I have made it very clear that I love makeup, so trying to post some more makeup looks would be amazing! Its just making sure you have the time and patience to get the shots lol because lets face it, it is not the easiest thing to get the right lighting, angle, and trying to get everything perfect (that's the life of social media! it seems to portray everything as 'picture perfect' and that isn't always the case!) but hopefully I can get some makeup posts up in the future!

 

Grow my blog

I have had my blog for a few years but only last year, I actually took it a bit more seriously and really enjoyed putting up posts. So, of course like anyone that blogs, they want their content read by people. I don't get caught up with numbers and stats too much, simply because I didn't start blogging for the stats but for myself, so growing it would be amazing without really trying, if that makes any sense? lol

 

Don't overthink post ideas

I tend to do this a lot, normally when I am struggling with post ideas. I start worrying about what content to post and I just end up giving up and close the laptop. you start thinking of 'will people read this?' 'what if someone else has a similar post?' 'this is a pointless post' - all those sort of things run through my head and its like I am already convincing myself not to post anything, so this year I want to not care so much about post ideas and trust that if I enjoyed writing it or its something I want to talk about then just post it and not overthink it!

 

Till next time,

HOW TO BEAT THEM CRAVINGS AFTER CHRISTMAS/PARTY SEASON

Hello you!

I'm not gonna lie, I have 1. been busy the last week or so and 2. I was stuck with post ideas! Then I randomly thought of this post. The last few days I have been trying to get back into clean eating and training a bit more than I have been leading up to Christmas and I am finding that I am looking for alternatives for my favourite foods that I have been indulging at Christmas and thought I would share with you guys some ideas I have, of course some wont be the same as the real thing but it will be so much better for you and your body! - you'll thank me later ;)

That greasy cheese pizza - Try making your own at home! using wholemeal breads or pittas with less fat cheese, tomato's, rocket, onion - anything you want really! they do actually taste amazing!

Chinese Egg Fried Rice - Make it at home! you will probably see that a lot of these are all homemade, simply because you know exactly what your putting into your meals!
simply cook some rice and then stir-fry some frozen or fresh vegetables, I like to add in a egg and scramble it up in the pan with all the other ingredients and some soy sauce.
I like this one because you can literally put in what you like and its super filling!

Chips/Fries - You can't go wrong with some homemade Chips. I tend to keep it simple with some white potatoes or sweet potatoes, keep the skin on or peel them, cut them into wedges or the size you want, a tea spoon of oil over the potatoes on a baking tray and cook them in the oven for about 25 minutes. perfect!

Milkshakes - These are deffo my weakness but I am back to forcing myself to try and replace a milkshake with a smoothie. and they are so simple. use some Fat-free milk or even yoghurt, fruit of your choice and some ice. you can also put in protein powder. and if you really want more of a milkshake flavour, stick a scoop or two of ice-cream in there too.

 I hope these help inspire you all with some food swaps for them cravings!
Till next time people,

MY GO TO HIGHLIGHTING COMBO!

 

Benefit Watts Up Highlighter

theBalm Costmetics Mary-Lou highlighter

As promised, I wanted to share my two highlighting combo's.

over a year ago when highlighting became a 'thing', not gonna lie, I was scared to 'over do it' or put it in the wrong place etc etc. but I am proud to say that I am no longer afraid and I am pretty good at it now lol

Just a quick breakdown of how I apply them both, because I think this was my problem ( and a lot of people's!) lets face it, you could have all the best brand products and all the best brushes and beauty blenders and STILL not apply your makeup correctly!

once I have done my base (foundation, concealer, eyebrows)

I apply the Benefit Watts Up cream highlighter with my finger and 'dab' it where I like ( cheek bones, nose, above top lip etc) I find this gives such a natural glow and sometimes I just stop at this step.

Then I go in with my TheBalm highlighter (which I LOVE) and I also just 'dab' or press it onto where I used the Benefit highlighter, the powder seems to hold it in place and gives you that amazing glow!

you know that kinda glow that makes you go 'Ouuuu girl' - only you makeup lovers get excited about that glow ;) ha

If you would like me to talk or share any posts in particular, please do let me know!

MY FAVOURITE MATTE BRONZER: BENEFIT

 

 HOOLA BRONZER

 

Hi guys!

I suppose this is not the first time that someone has spoke highly of this matte bronzer, so here I am giving you my thoughts lol

I have had this in my makeup collection for so long, and I fell back in love with it again. I was using my Chanel cream bronzer for so long and then when I used this I just couldn't resist. it is just my perfect shade, and it suits a lot of skin tones, you deffo get the bronzed look and it doesn't have too many orange under tones, which I why I think it is just a perfect matte bronzer. I found it works perfectly when contouring (with a light hand) and it doesn't/hasn't broke me out either. This bronzer is so worth the money and I have found that sometimes you get what you pay for, and this is a prime example! I got mine from Debenhams, when they had a discount going around, but it averages at about £23.00.

 

Let me know if any of you have a favourite bronzer! I am always looking out for new bronzers to try.

 

Till next time

MY FAVOURITE MASCARA

BENEFIT THEY'RE REAL MASCARA

Now ladies.. I have not come across a better mascara than this beauty! As I am getting older, I am following my mums advice (years and years later lol) when it comes to you pay for what you get most times and this is pure proof that it is true. 

I have tried probably all of the half decent drugstore ones but with this I haven't found a fault at all! No clumps, the perfect amount of product on the brush and of course it makes my super long eyelashes even longer! lol. I have purchased this 4 times now since I first tried it and I haven't looked back since! I am constantly getting compliments on my lashes when I have this on! It's very popular and an award winning product and I would deffo recommend you try it!

Till next time,
