Liebster Award


So I've very sweetly been nominated for the Liebster Award By Lauren Marshall and Ema Biel, I'd like to thank them both so much for nominating and definitely go checkout their blogs, I could spend hours browsing through their posts. This award is designed to help low-key bloggers get noticed and out there! You tag eleven blogs with under two hundred followers that you believe deserve recognition! I was shocked when I found out id been nominated for this award as Ive only been blogging for two weeks; However I'm so glad I've been tagged in this and I hope you enjoy reading!

There are four simple rules!

1. Thank & link the person who nominated you.
2. Answer the nominators 11 questions.
3. Nominate 11 small blogs with fewer than 200 followers who you believe
deserve this award and include their links.
4. Create 11 new questions for your nominees to answer. Notify those nominees via social
media/blogs.


As Ive been nominated by two lovely bloggers I'm going to choose questions from each!

1. Why did you start blogging?

Id always wanted to start my own blog however I neither had the time or equipment to. I finally decided to create my blog a few weeks ago and started by using my iPhone for photos, which didn't come out too badly! It just goes to show you don't need fancy equipment to start a blog. I created mine using my Toshiba Laptop and iPhone for photography, It's more about Content! Enough of that ramble! The main reason I started a blog was because I love to share my opinion of many things and give an insight into my life!

2. Summer Or Winter?

I used to absolutely love winter, however now that spring weather is creeping up on us I'm beginning to fall in love with summer weather. I'd say I prefer summer for the weather and Winter for the clothing!

3.What Is your Favourite Store?

This is an absolute no brainer for me. I absolutely love Zara, I'm sure that 80% of my wardrobe is from there now, their clothing is such good quality.

4. Favourite Food?

My Favourite food would most likely have to be sweet potato's or berries. I know thats cheating by saying two, but I can't choose one! After recently deciding to return to a vegan lifestyle fruit and veg has become my best friend so it'd definitely have to be sweet potato or berries!

5.What Is Your Dream Job?

My Dream Job would be to work in the digital marketing industry. I'm obsessed with social media so using that to my advantage would be my Ideal job!

6. What Are You Afraid Of?

Heights, Spiders , Living a forgettable life. 

7. What Is The Most Valuable Lesson You've Learnt In Life?

Have a positive attitude to everything you can in life and make the most of It, because you never know how quickly situations can change.

8. What Is Your Favourite Quote And Why?

' If you can dream it, then you can do it' Walt Disney 

I find this quote so inspirational, too many people feel as though their dreams and goals are out of their reach and forget that all good things take time, I find this quote so motivational.

9.Who Is your Favourite Blogger?

My favourite blogger has to be Sammi Maria or as she's well known The Beauty Crush. I spend hours browsing through her blog and love watching her youtube channel. I find it inspirational how persistent and determined she's been with her blog and how far she's come. Ive been watching her YouTube videos for years now so its been interesting watching her amount of viewers increase so dramatically!

10. What Is Your Pet Peeve?

Okay, I know I myself a guilty of this, but i cannot stand snoring, Its not that I'm turned off by it or anything I just find the sound so irritating! And on a similar note, people chewing with their mouths open , it drives me nuts.

11.What Makes You Happy?

Spending time with the positive people In my life and making the most of every day.

Lazy Sundays








We all love a lazy Sunday, So i thought I'd give you all an insight as to how I spend mine.  As most others I begin my day by aimlessly browsing other Blogs and YouTube channels whilst listening to music. I tend to spend hours doing this without even realising! To  go along with this super productive activity, lemon water is a must! Not only is it healthy but its so yummy. I simply cut two lemon slices and add hot water, not too difficult!

After browsing for a few hours I tend to feel guilty so I usually do something productive like tidy my room or write my to do list. Today I opted for the to do list as I've been lacking in blog posts recently so I thought I should organise my week a little bit so I can actually get round to blogging more! One major thing I struggle with is ideas for blog posts, so taking the time to sit down and plan them makes life a lot easier.

Once I've finished creating my endless to do list I usually choose Sunday as the day to use my Frizz-ease keratin 3 day straight spray. I feel for this its best to choose a day that you can relax and not have to worry about time consumption as it can be a lengthy process depending on your hair type. I've been loving this spray recently as it keeps my hair straight for 3 days as It claims unlike many other products, however I'll save that opinion for another blog post!

Yes i know that people say its a lazy sunday and you shouldn't wear makeup, however I live on social media; So having a somewhat presentable face is important for me with all this imporatant snapchats of course. When it comes to lazy days I really don't bother wearing a lot of makeup as the only events that occur are walking to the shops or going to the gym, which means wearing no makeup. I mainly use Foundation, concealer , brow products and mascara just to make sure I'm looking at least slightly alive!

And once this has all been completed I usually just slob out in bed on my laptop browsing more blogs and cooking food! So there we go! It's not the most interesting of days but thats how I myself personally like to spend my Sundays! I hope you enjoy reading!

March Favourites!






I know I haven't posted very regularly recently however, I've had such a hectic week! I'm also aware that my March favourites is a little bit on the late side, Better late than never!

So for my beauty favourites it's been quite a skin revolved month! I feel that primer, foundation and concealer are three of the most important products used on your face, Depending on how long you wish your makeup to last and if you have dark circles etc. My current favourite foundation is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation; After hearing multiple positive reviews about this product I decided to give it a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised with the finish as i usually prefer a matte finish, whereas this foundation leaves a dewey natural finish which I loved, It blends so easily and is very long lasting.

Personally myself I can't say if the foundation lasts well without primer as I use primer every day. Whilst on the topic my favourite primer this month has been the Bourjois Happy Light Serum. one thing that i usually despise about primers is the horrible oily feeling left on your face once used. However this primer completely shocked me, within ten seconds of applying this primer my skin had absorbed it and i could apply foundation, It gives your skin a subtle glow which is perfect for spring/summer!

Whilst browsing through Amelia Liana's videos I came across her drugstore flawless foundation tutorial, In this she highly recommended the L'oreal Magic touch concealer. Whilst shopping I attempted to find this however I mistakenly picked up the incorrect concealer. Which I can now see was a 'good mistake' moment as i've now fallen in love with the L'oreal True Match Concealer, this concealer gives such a good coverage which I've been desperately searching for, could not recommend any product more highly!

Then for Lipstick my current favourite has been The maybelline colour sensation Lipstick in Stellar Pink, I also mentioned this in my blog post 'spending spree' and for such a cheap price I can't complain at all. Finally Is my Bobbi Brown Face Brush, this brush has been favourite of mine for months now however has never been given the credit for some of the wonders it can do when it comes to applying my foundation evenly. The brush is a little bit on the pricey side however I definitely feel as If its worth it.

And Lastly, Yes i know its not a beauty purchase!, is my MacBook. I could not be more in love with any other purchase, I'd been pining after a macbook for months so I finally decided to treat myself and purchase the MacBook air. It's very simple to figure out and such a high quality laptop, I've used mine for blogging so far and it's done a fantastic job!

                                                 All Beauty Products Are available from Superdrug

                                                 MacBook is available for purchase from John Lewis
