Hello...

I thought I would go into some 'Current Beauty' picks/go to's, of these past few weeks.

 Starting off with what should be a staple in anyone's winter routine: Lip Balms and Butter.
  Now, I've got millions of these, but I only tend to use about 2. These are important, as with the weather getting ten times colder, and the wind picking up, you need to make sure that your keeping your lips moisturized as they tend to become dry and chapped with the change in weather conditions.
        I use The Body shop Lip Butter: in the fragrance Shea Butter.This is super luxurious and keeps your lips in great condition: especially in these horrible winter conditions. I also use the burts bees, as its great for moisturizing and it smells super lovely!

As well as lip care its important that you keep up to date on your skin care products, especially as cold and windy weather can be very damaging. I recently started using new products as I heard great reviews on them and as always its worth a try! I've had acne for literally ages now, and I will give anything a go to try and get it to die down.. I think I've finally found the products though! I use the 'Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot' on a daily basis and this leaves my skin feeling soft and healthy. On days of indulgence, I love using a face mask. My top fave at the minute has to be the 'Salicylic Acid -Anti Blemish pore purifying clay mask' from the super facialist range by Una Brennan. To be honest, this was a totally new brand to me, but I'm so glad I have found it!

Next on the agenda of current beauty picks, has to be make up related:
NAKED 3 Palette, and Real Techniques Brushes only appeared in my make up collection/accessory box since Christmas, but I can't live without them. They have become a total essential and much needed products. The brushes are the best brushes I have ever used, and they give such great coverage, its just unbelievable. Hats off to Nic and Sam Chapman! Also, Urban Decay game is very high after the arrival of the simply stunning eyeshadow set. Its perfect, I have no words.
Slightly strange go to now, The No.7 Heated Lash Curler. Now, again this only entered my make up collection at Christmas. I have possibly the worse kind of lashes ever. The stick straight forward and it ends up looking like I don't have any. However, with this bad boy, I'm finally starting to look like I have long lush lashes, which is pretty awesome, as its been a huge struggle in my life to get them to look decent without aid from strip or extension lashes.

Lots of Love,

School Morning Routine.

Starting the morning off in the right way has become like my new years resolution, as last year I never used to get up early, and never eat ate breakfast: which wasn't great to be honest as it meant that most of the day I would feel tired and hungry.

   So, the new year meant that I began to change how I start my mornings on days in which I am at school. Because of this, I thought I would post my School Morning Routine.

It all starts with the dreaded sound; the alarm. I have a number of alarms and I'm pretty rubbish when it comes to waking up straight away... But when I do finally get up around about half 6 each morning I always check social media and see if I've missed anything important; 

 

Instagram happens to be the one I check up the most.. 

  Next it's time to get out of my bed, which happens to be extremely warm at this time in the day; and go down and get breakfast. I like to start the day well, so I tend to have Greek yogurt with fruitand granola, that if I'm feeling healthy, otherwise it's a warm crumpet!

Then it's time to go back upstairs and start getting ready, I normally brush my teeth etc, first and then do my hair and make up. Just the usual straight hair and natural make up look, as I don't like wearing to much day to day. 

  

After the make up is finished, and my hair is complete, I sort out my bag and put on my uniform, which is possibly the most uncomfortable thing ever, but hey ho! 

Then, it's normally about 7.55, by this time, I've gone downstairs and made my dinner. All in all a busy morning..

Finally it's time to leave, and start the 7 hour day at school. What utter joy!

Thanks for reading, 

      Lots of love,

Setting it straight for 2015.

 HAPPY NEW YEAR! - FIRST BLOG OF 2015! 

It's safe to say, last year I lacked a little on the blogging side, and there is pretty much no excuse for it.. 

   But now I've decided that this year I will actually put effort in to make sure that I post at least once a week, if not fortnightly.  I started this whole process as mainly a beauty blog, but recently I've been thinking that I should broaden my horizons and add more lifestyle, fashion and maybe even baking, as well as the beauty side - don't get me wrong, that will still be the main aspect on here, but I thought it would become boring and tedious if I constantly wrote about the same things.  

    

Also throughout this new year, I intend to tackle other types of issues, maybe things such as the previous post - girl online controversy. And also things in the news I have ideas/ things to say to bring forward. 

  

Recently I've seen more and more people join the blogging scene, and it's nice to see, but it's something that is also maybe challenging for people like me who are Also bloggers as it means you have to think more about your content and the subject matter which you will post. Also, when new bloggers bring posts to the Internet, advertising is key and something that I do myself, but I think there is a limit and if you 'over do it', it could make people feel that your being forced to read. Because of this, I've decided to a scale down my own advertising and stick to social networking sites such as facebook and Twitter.

  

 Anyway, let's end the blogging matters and think about the year ahead on a personal note.

  

Last year I finally started to become confident and this is something in which I intend to carry on going. Also in 2015, I want to try out new things and step out of my comfort zones. I'm in a tough school year, with it being my last and one filled with GCSE's I really want to get ready for the tough tasks the ahead.

   And finally I want to generally have a smashing year and do things that I will be proud of instead blog having a number of regrets. 

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas - even though it's a little late, and 2015 is a splendid year for you! Make dreams come true and live for every moment.  

Speak to you all soon,

   Lots of love,
