New Year Resolutions for 2016

Hi Everyone,

Today I wanted to write some of my goals for 2016 so I can look back on them, I have quite a few but to be honest I am not going to be super strict on myself if they don't work out! 

1. Eat less chocolate - This is just because I have acne and I have heard a lot of people saying that sugar can inflame acne and make it become a lot more red. So originally I wanted to give up chocolate for January as I ate a lot in December but it did not go to plan as I have a lot of Christmas chocolate left but I am definitely keeping it in mind and trying to eat less of it. So when all the Christmas chocolate is go I am going to try and give it up or for sure not eat as much of it.

2. Drink 3 pints of water a day - I know the guideline is to drink eight glasses a day but it depends on you so the intake is different for everyone. I am definitely drinking a lot of water but I haven't quite hit the 3 pint mark every single day but everyone that knows me knows that I drink a lot of water as it is so I am not worried I haven't quite drank 3 pints every single day. 

3. Exercise once a week - I walk everywhere and I do go out quite a lot which means I am walking all the time, but I want to start exercising once a week so I feel active and push myself a bit. It will just be something like a 5/10 minute workout so I need to look for apps to use. 

4. Start Yoga - I tried Yoga once as my Mum used to go regularly (until her Yoga teacher gave up the class after about a year and a half) and I went along with her but I really didn't enjoy it. However I want to get back into it and try again as people say it is amazing for your body, so my Mum and Me have decided we are both going to start it up again and go together.

5. Keep up blogging - I have now decided to post every other day on here and I really want to try and keep that up but there will be days that I am super busy and don't get a chance to write or take pictures which is why I will try to write some in advance. 

6. Go to bed earlier - As I am now back into my normal routine I want to go to bed earlier so I am able to get up, enjoy the day and get things done instead of having a nap as that wastes so much time! 

These are my main ones so I hope you enjoyed it and let me know what your resolutions are!

Lazy Day routine: Autumn

Hi Everyone, 

So usually my lazy days are Sundays and as its getting much colder now I am likely to stay in away from the cold and rain; its just always been known as our lazy days so that's what I do! 

I wake up anytime from 10-12 usually and I firstly have breakfast and watch you tube for about an hour as Sunday is the day everyone uploads so I like to try and keep up with them! 

Then I cleanse my face, clean my teeth and get changed for the day. Sunday I wash my hair so I don't really ever wear makeup or put get dressed up (basically I don't wear jeans) as I will end up taking it all off so I just put on leggings and a hoodie. 

After I have face timed my Dad for about 30 minutes I will usually sit and write blogposts or take blogpost pictures as I like to be caught up on blogposts whilst watching Gossip girl.

After doing that for probably around two hours I will have lunch with my Mum, we usually have a big meal at about three o clock but not always a Sunday Roast. 

Then we will watch some TV (we are loving Nashville at the moment).

If I have any work to do I will get that done and then I will probably wash my hair at about seven o clock. 

After washing my hair I will go downstairs make myself something to eat and watch some TV with my Mum again as this is when we can both relax. Tonight we watched 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here!'

At about 9pm I will have a cup of tea with something sweet, a chocolate biscuit usually and then wrap some Christmas presents as I have been extremely organised with Christmas presents this year and have bought them all early! 

Then I will go upstairs, get into bed and watch some more You tube and go to sleep at about 11:30pm.

I hope you enjoyed this!

Morning Skin Care Routine

Hi everyone, 

Today I thought I would show you my skin care routine.

So the first thing I do in the morning is splash my face with cold water about four times, I love this as it really wakes me up.

Then while my face is still wet I will get two pumps of my L'occataine facial cleanser gel and rub that over my face with my hands until it lathers up; then splash my face with cold water again to get it all off! This just makes me feel so awake and much better in the morning! 

After my face has been towel dried I will apply my Benefit oil free Facial Emulsion moisturiser and put my makeup on! 

This was much shorter than I thought but I hope you enjoyed it!

Pamper Night

Hi everyone,

Today I am going to show you what I get up to on my pamper night. Today was a pretty rainy, windy and cold Autumnal day so when I got home I thought I would have a lovely warm bath; today I needed to wash my hair so unfortunately I couldn't use any lush products or add in any bubble bath. But if you want me to do another version of this then let me know! 

Firstly I took off all my makeup using the L'oreal absolute make up remover eye and lip. 

Then to make sure every last bit of makeup was gone I used my L'occataine Lavander Cleansing Gel which makes your face feel so soft but I think it has been discontinued now. After I have done these first two steps I feel so much more like a human to have all of the dirt and makeup off my face. 

Then I will make sure everything is in the bathroom and ready so today I wanted to start reading Zoella's Girl on line book because I haven't read it yet. And I also grabbed some water because i hate it when I get into the bath and become really thirsty from all the heat and the steam from the bath so I took some water with me. 

You can't have a pamper night without candles so obviously I lit them! The big one on the left is Lemongrass scented which smells just like the Spa's in Bali (Nostalgia right there) and the one on the right has orange, geranium, ylang ylang and lavender so two very relaxing scents. 

Then I get everything else I need for the bath, my shampoo and conditioner. 

Vosene - Anti Dandruff Shampoo (Been using it for about two weeks and it has not made much improvement to my dandruff but it is meant to be really good so I going to carry on using it for a few more weeks. It does make my hair really soft and shiny though which is great!)

Tresseme Split Remedy - I soon realised that no conditioner, shampoo or hair mask can "get rid of split ends" but I still really like this conditioner as my hair feels so soft, smells really good and feels really good! I only put conditioner from my collar bone down as if I put it on the top of my head it irritates my dandruff and makes it worse however I do it now and again it does make my hair look extremely shiny which I love! But thats about once every 4 months that I put it all over my hair. 

I also comb through my hair when my conditioner is on as it majorly gets out the knots you wouldn't think it but honestly if you haven't tried it please do as it will banish the knotty wet hair you usually get out the shower with. (If you do; I used to) 

Then I brush through my extremely thick and long hair, it gets knotty as i don't brush it very often because I don't like how it looks when its brushed. 

Face Mask - Recently my skin has been really bad, I have broken out a lot and the spots don't seem to be going so I used a Botanics Ionics clay face mask today I only do them about once every two months but this one hardens on your skin when it is ready and makes your face feel really soft. It hasn't got rid of my spots or made them smaller but it does make my skin feel clean and refreshed. 

Once I have finished my bath I put my pyjamas on (from Primark) and moisturise using FlowerbyKenzo Body Milk.

Now onto hair - I firstly rub Garnier Ultimate Blends through the bottom of my hair (it has coconut oil in it which makes my hair smell amazing and feel super soft, I would definitely recommend and re-purchase this!) This helps me to comb my hair through as it seems to tease out the last few knots; so then I comb through my hair and today I decided to do a fishtail (tip - fishtails are much easier to do when your hair is wet) and I get all the water out of my ears using a cotton bud.

So this is my finished fishtail - if you are trying to learn how to do it then I would recommend not looking in the mirror as you do it as that makes it a lot harder and will confuse you looking in the mirror. 

I don't always do this, but as the weather is getting colder I decided to put cream on my feet and put slipper socks on because this is meant to make your feet softer. 

I don't moisturise at night, I just put on some acne cream and moisturise in the morning. But this is my moisturiser from Benefit. 

That is mostly it, for the rest of the night I will have dinner watch tv with Mum and relax. By the way I did you shower gel in the bath but I forgot to mention that! I hope you enjoyed this blogpost, let me know in the comments if there are any other blogposts you want to see!
