My First Beauty Bay Order and First Impressions

January 29, 2019 1 Comment

I have been wanting to buy somethings off Beauty Bay for a long time but me being me wanted to wait till they were a sale on their site. When the sale eventually did come on the beauty bay website I ended up getting 2 lipsticks that were half price and a full price eyeshadow palette because just look at it OMG, love the name and its blooming huge.

One reason I wanted to shop on beauty bay is that they have many brands that aren’t available on other websites such as Hank & Henry and Jeffree Star. Not only are they fab for stocking premium brands they also sell a variety of budget-friendly brands too such as Makeup Revolution and Wet n Wild beauty.

Child’s Farm Products | Review

January 28, 2019 1 Comment

As we all know January is also Veganuary. Now for people who aren’t sure what that is, Veganuary is a month in which people try out being vegan for a month, not only with food but also products too. Childs Farm is a child-friendly bath and skincare range who happen to be cruelty-free and many of their products are vegan-friendly too.I was kindly sent 3 of their products to try including their 2 in 1 hair, bubble bath and moisturiser. They are labelled for babies but anyone can use them since their formula is so mild that its kind to sensitive skin and people who have eczema. We tried out their products for a month and I have done a mini-review on each of them below.

Childs Farm was founded in 2011 and was created by the founder who wanted a bath and skincare products for children which were suitable for sensitive skin but also smelt nice too. Their products are also multi-award winning.

Favourite Makeup Products of 2018

January 25, 2019 8 Comments

I know this post is super duper late and it is nearly the end of January already-whoops! I was expecting January to go by slowly like it was last year when the month seemed to last 84 years and each day was cold and just long aha. I got to say so far this month it has been fab and I thought why not share my favourite makeup products of 2018! Choosing was so easy because I used all of the products in the pictures soooo much it would have been silly not too.

In 2018 it had to be a year in which I tried the most variety of brands I have ever bought and tried out. Out of that diversity of new brands I have tried so many of them have become firm favourites in my collection. Some of the new brands I just got round to trying in 2018 is ‘Charlotte Tilbury’ and ‘Pixi Beauty’, I will tell you more about them further along in the post.

Book’s I’ve Read in 2018 and Books I’d love to read in 2019!

January 22, 2019 1 Comment

2018… hmm what can I say? It was a year for a sure aha. On the book front, I didn’t read anywhere as near as much as I would have loved it too. I had so many books I wanted to read but never got round to it for whatever reason but the books I did read were amazing so that makes up for not reading many as I wanted to, right?

When it comes to books I am not fussy when it comes to the topic, I love to read a variety of different books. My all-time favourites have to be Fiction, Romance and Sci-fi and Fantasy novels. I know they may sound random but it really just depends on my mood and how I feel to which genre I choose. I wonder if anyone else like me and likes to read more than one book at once… like I mean not literally at once but start one book then another not long after and alternate between the books…? I sure do LOL.

Fitness Journey: Week 2

January 20, 2019 6 Comments

A new post and a new series are now starting on my blog, My fitness journey. I really wish I started writing about it in the first week but I will tell you the start of the journey throughout this post for my journey so far. Now I am not 100% clean eating all of the time, I like to have some treats every now and again because if I don’t I know I will be setting myself up to fail as I always do when I eat TOO CLEAN and don’t treat myself. I haven’t found my rhythm yet but I am learning what foods to eat to get the maximum potential benefits. I have been exercising every day and doing the bare minimum of walking the recommend daily amount.

You may all be wondering why I am doing a fitness journey.. the simple way I can put it is I want to control my PCOS as some days it makes me feel awful and I am sure many others with PCOS will tell you how annoying it can be. I want to be fitter, have more stamina and hopefully, one day lift weights in the gym like a pro and be able to run marathons without being out of breath every 2 minutes.

So what the heck is Kombucha? No.1 Kombucha Review

January 16, 2019 3 Comments

So I have reimagined my fitness regime at the start of the month so I am not just thinking about going to the gym or exercising, I am also thinking about my diet. Now I know I said diet BUT I am not going on the typical fad diets that are out there but rather a healthier way of eating to help control my PCOS. I am now thinking about portion sizes, how much sugar is in my diet and also snacking. I have made many changes and I know it may sound nuts but I am starting to feel better the way I am eating and exercising now, it is all progress.

I was kindly sent No.1 Kombucha to try. Now at first, I wasn’t sure what Kombucha was but after research on their website, I was pleasantly surprised about the benefits including the fact it’s naturally rich in live cultures. The brand was founded by Jonny Wilkinson and comes in 3 delicious flavours; ‘Ginger & Tumeric’, ‘Raspberry, Pomegranate & Hibiscus’ and also ‘Passion fruit and Goji’.These are available in Sainsbury’s.
