New Look dress for a special event

So I had an event to attend this saturday, my beautiful friend Francesca is leaving me to go off travelling :(

Of course im very proud of her and oh so excited, but I will miss her terribly! :(

So I wanted to make sure we had the best night for her, and obviously that I looked half decent while holding back the tears!! Ha

My gorgeous boyfriend Jamie bought me this beautiful monochrome dress from New Look for the event.

The leaving party was held at Luxe nightclub in Loughton Essex, it was a lovely but obviously very sad evening!

Bon Voyage Francesca
Travel safe and enjoy, love you endlessly!

Ps
What do you guys think of my dress?!

Hair ...blonde ...!!!

So I guess I just bleached my hair a little, I was getting bored of the same old same old, so I took matters in my own hands and had a go! Ha

I used an at home kit and did my own version of a dip dye .... kinda...

I like it being a little different for me as I'm not always very adventurous when it comes to my hair!

What do you guys think?!

Lushness in a bottle!

This is a very quick post just basically to say ...WOW.... How lush is the Aromatherapy Associates Revive morning bath & shower oil...??

I threw a little bit into my bath this evening and the whole of the upstairs of my house was filled with the delicious scent of this little bottle of indulgence.... *sighs blissfully*

So I jumped into my new found tub of luxury with my superfacialist by una brennan rose hydrate mask on and had an indulgent soak .... heaven

Happy bathing people :)

Positive thinking ♥♡

Hi guy's,

I apologise that this isnt a skincare/beauty related post, but I had to share it!

This is a very simple but powerful message and one I believe everyone should try to remember at times

People can do the most selfish and hurtful things to each other, but there is always a lesson to be learnt in how others can treat you, the things they say and actions they take

Nobody is perfect, nobody should be! But we should all at least try to be kind, and if thats too much then at least dont be horrid

Please take a moment to read the message in the photo

It's something I try to remind myself of when needed and it has helped me get through a situation or 2!

I hope this helps at least 1 other person feel even slightly better

Positive attitude
Positive behaviour

Remember Karma is real

Mid week mini pamper session :)

So tonight felt like the perfect night for a pamper,
we all get tied down and pre-occupied with kids, work, family life etc and as i've said before its very important to take some time out for yourself, even half an hour once a week can make a massive difference.

So tonight I decided to take half an hour for me!! :)

I made myself a cup of tea, ran a lovely hot bubble bath, and while waiting for it to fill I set to with the nightly facial cleanse:
First I massaged in the lovely Loreal '15 second miracle cleansing oil' to remove all my make up (which was minimal anyway),washed off thouroughly with a flannel,
I then massaged in the gorgeous smelling nspa 'melting cleansing gel', and used my No7 'Facial cleansing brush' all over my face and neck, again washed off thouroughy with flannel,
I then applied the SuperFacialist by Una Brennan  'rose hydrate intense moisture mask' smells divine this stuff does (who knew i liked the smell of roses?) 
So far so good, face is cleansed and luxuriating in a new mask, so I hop in the bath and set to for the rest of me, after a quick soak I don my bright pink scrubbing gloves, lather up and manually exfoliate all over, I add a little of Soap & Glory's 'pulp friction body scrub' and go again, once satisfied I rinse off and decide to use the boyf's BullDog 'original shave gel' - well, he hasnt bothered using it and it was just sitting there, now I never normally use a shave gel, but thought i'd try it and see if it makes a difference, it does, it definitely does, this one is packed with essential oils and has a cooling/zingy effect when applied, smells fresh, not bad.
All defuzzed and exfoliated, its time to remove the mask, I soak my flannel and massage it off, it hasnt 'set' like most masks do, but has kept a firm, creamy texture, and removes easily, my skin definitely feels hydrated, after it being a little dry lately this is very welcome, and this mask will make its way into my weekly routine! ( I also use the rose hydrate calming creamy cleanser on rotation, love it!)
I round up by moisturising my body with my amazing tub of 100% pure coconut oil, utterly delicious stuff that works for literally EVERYTHING, apply my Rana Argan Oil to my face, then massage in Ila face oil (which contains only hand blended natural oils) and the smell is to die for i tell you!!! and top it off with LP Skin Therapy overnight replenishing cream, and for the hands L'occitane dry skin hand cream

So i'm now all cosied up in my PJ's and slipper socks, my skin feels amazingly soft and supple, and i feel ready for a lovely sleep!

So goodnight guys, hope you enjoyed this post!

Make time for you, be happy :)
