Where Have I Been?

Wow - this has been a crazy, crazy summer! So much has been going on, mainly at work, which of course I had to prioritise, but I'm confident that it'll all be worth it!

I know, I know - why am I telling you guys this, right? Well, I've been neglecting the blog as I just honestly didn't know how to fit it in around everything else. I've never really got into a routine with doing this alongside work, which is definitely something that is a work in progress I can assure you...

The good news is though, that I'm now doing normal shifts thanks to all these changes - I've never worked a 9-5 in my life so this could be interesting to say the least...

The main upside to this is that I'm hoping to get into a proper routine with work/play/blogging, and I've already got some juicy posts coming up!

I'm also trying to steer myself in a slightly different direction with this fresh start too. When I first got into blogs/YouTube I was really interested in the beauty side of it, but as time has gone by I've become more and more into lifestyle as well. This summer my downtime has been spent looking at home-ware, and I've even been in the process of applying for a mortgage and house-hunting (how exciting). I have a feeling that this will be a strong component of my content, as it's something that a lot of people seem to be really interested in!

6 Week Summer Body Plan: Week 1

So I knew this was going to be hard, but I didn't quite anticipate how pathetic my will-power really is...

Stop Being A Sweaty Betty

This is something that I never thought I'd write about, but hey we're all friends here. I'm sure that this is something which we've all stressed about in the past, because let's face it, no one wants to be a Sweaty Betty!

6 Week Summer Body Plan: Prep

So, I've had a holiday booked for quite some time now, but it's only just dawned on me that in just over 6 weeks time I'll be having to don a bikini in front of half of Benidorm. Scary? I think so.

Empties #1

So as a blogger/beauty fanatic/girl I find that I'm trying out a heck of a lot of different products, which means that I'm always using up a variety of weird and wonderful things. I've stockpiled all of the things I've recently run out of/finished up, and I thought I'd give you a quick review on what I thought of each of them...

Autograph Velvet Touch Tinted Lotion

For those who don't know, last year (I believe) M&S launched their Beauty Hall which has tons of fab products from both high end brands and their own lines. One of the recent releases is their own self tan by their Autograph range.

Garnier Micellar Water Comparison

I'm pretty sure since the original came out it's been compared, in quality, to the likes of Bioderma (something which I've never got my hands on - maybe one day!) Although I liked the original I didn't find it was really suitable for my skin type; it's good for removing make-up but I often found that there was a bit of residue left on my face, meaning that I'd always need to use something afterwards to remove that. So, when Garnier brought out the combination/sensitive version, I was pretty keen to give it a go...
