Tuesday Tunes

I'm still new to blogging, so I'm finding it difficult to think of blog ideas that you will enjoy reading. So I've been looking at other peoples blogs for ideas and there are certain ones that have caught my eye and I really enjoy reading myself. These are Marcus Butler's Sunday Sounds and Finn Harries Music Monday.

Now I don't mean to copy what they do, I just enjoy reading theirs and seeing what music they like so I would hope you enjoy seeing the music I like!

So every other Tuesday, when I've discovered a song (or song's) that I really enjoy, I'll write them in a post and share them with you!

So the first song I've really been enjoying lately is Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran - Everything Has Changed. I've always been a massive fan of Ed, I mean, he is beautiful and SO talented! But I've never been a big fan of Taylor Swift, but when I heard they came together to create a song,  I couldn't resist listening and got addicted straight away! Here it is:

Now the second song I've really liked lately is Justin Timberlake - Mirrors. I've never really liked his music and especially this song when it first came out, but after listening to my sister play it over and over and over and over, it's safe to say I started to love it. And now I can't stop listening to it!

Now the last song I've been loving lately isn't a recent song at all. It's from Demi Lovato's third studio album 'Unbroken' which was released in September 2011 (you can download off iTunes here!). It's called Who's That Boy. I've listened to it several times before, but I it came on my ipod after a party a few weeks back and I realised it related to my situation that night exactly, and then I got slightly addicted..

So, I hope you enjoy them songs as much as I do!

Until next time beautiful's,

Review: Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion

My sister gave me this cleansing lotion a few years back because she bought it for herself and decided she didn't like it. I didn't use it for a while, but when I did start using, I realised how good it really was!

Suitable for sensitive skin, it's formula helps cleanse your skin gently to remove every-day build up of oil, dirt and grease and helps reduce spots.

I don't have sensitive skin, but when I first started using it, I'll admit, it did sting a little bit. However, after, lets say, the third time of using it, I no longer felt the stinging feeling. I started using it once a night after I had cleared off my make-up and it left my face feeling clean and refreshed.

It's now my favourite thing to use if my face is feeling dirty or greasy and I use it two or more times a day. I just love the clean feeling it leaves me with.

Since I started using it, I can definitely tell the difference! My skin feels so much smoother than it used to and I get barely any spots now, just one of them odd annoying ones every now and again.

It's worked so well on my face that I've started using it on my chest and my back (who knows if you're meant to!) and that has definitely reduced the amount of spots I get!

I'd like to try other brands of cleansing lotion too, but I'm just too scared it won't be as good as this one! Maybe in the future! For now, I'm very happy with how the leaves my skin feeling and how much it has helped!

It's also a cheapy too! Only £3 in boots! Definitely worth a purchase!

Until next time beautifuls,

Just Say Yes: Introduction

Between other beauty and fashion posts, I thought I'd start a new series of posts, "Just Say Yes".

In my life, I've missed so many opportunities because I've been too scared to do something on my own because I've always been a very shy person and to meet new people is something I hid away from.

Looking back now, I wish I had just said yes!

At the end of 2011, with the encouragement of other people, I decided enough was enough, and I said yes. What's the worst that's going to happen? I won't enjoy myself, big deal. I just wont do it again. 

However, saying yes to that opportunity has changed my life. I have grown so much in confidence and since, I have said yes to so many more amazing opportunities and I have met the most amazing people who have become some of my best friends! 

Now, I can look back and think "I'm so glad I did that" instead of thinking "I so wish I did that.."

Over this series of posts, I'm going to write about the opportunities and trips I have been lucky enough to be a part, some that I have coming up, and share my experiences with you and hopefully inspire you to say yes too!

This is something new, so I hope you enjoy reading about everything and everyone who have changed my life for the better. I'd love to hear your experiences of saying yes too!

Until next time beautifuls,

Christmas Nails

So, Christmas is over for another year (I wish it wasn't!). But I thought I would quickly share with you my Christmas nails:

My sister treated me and paid for me to get them done before Christmas. The lady isn't usually keen on doing patterns but I showed her a picture of some nails I found on Tumblr that I thought were really cute and she said she would give them a try. So here they are!

Pretty and sparkly Christmas red with a little Christmas pudding (even though I don't really like Christmas puddings, I just thought it would look cute).

My sister also got hers done too:

Hers are just red and green sparkly tips which I thought were simple but sweet!

So I hope you like them too and it might inspire you to have Christmasy nails next Christmas, I can't wait!

I apologise for the bad quality of the pictures, they were just taken off of my phone.

And if you had Christmasy nails, send me a picture, I'd love to see them!

Bye!

New Year Resolutions

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I decided to start blogging after reading other peoples blogs and deciding it looks really fun and you can make a lot of friends out of it. It took me a while to decide to make one, but as it was coming to the end of 2012 I thought 'what a better time to start than the new year'. So here I am, starting a blog on all things beauty, fashion and lifestyle.

As it is the new year, I thought I would do my first blog post on new year resolutions.
Lots of people make them, but I bet only half of them people actually stick to them. I have never made proper resolutions before, only the little ones that the teachers made us do every year in primary school. But as little as they were, they went on a piece of paper and got forgotten about. Trust me! So this year I decided to make a couple and share them with you:

Jogging: I would really love to be a lot fitter than I am so I thought an enjoyable way of doing that would be to start jogging. Every year I join in at charity events such as Race For Life and Great South Run but I'm never able to run far and start walking most of it. So recently I started jogging every Monday and Friday, but it only lasted 2 weeks. So as it is the new year, I'm going to start again, and keep it up!

Working out: Again, this would benefit me in keeping fit. However, the main workouts I want to do is to strengthen my arms. For the career I want to do when I'm older, I need arm strength, and I have none of it! I can't even do one push up! So I have decided to start using weights, small ones first obviously! At least 3 times a week, I want to do different weight exercises on my arms for at least half an hour and hopefully this will be enough to get me started!

Eat 2 pieces of fruit a day: I'm always being told to eat healthy, but I never have and that has resulted in a problem for me. So I recently started eating two pieces of fruit a day and that has helped a considerable amount already! So I want to keep this up!

Revision: As I'm in my last year at school, I have a lot of important exams coming up and to get into college and do the courses I want to do, I have to get them top grades, and I'm not doing well so far. So if I want to get them grades, a lot of revision is needed! Around an hour everyday.

So they're my new year resolutions. If you have made any, I hope you stick to them! We'll work together!
