Beauty Advice I'm Glad I Listened To
There is a lot of beauty advice in the world, not all of it good. Whether it's from books, blogs, magazines or knowledge passed down from family or friends we've probably all been told some pearls of wisdom at some point. I thought today I would share some of my favourite pieces of beauty advice with you.
Why Internet Free Days Are Important
In this post last week, I touched on something that I've been doing a lot recently and that is having time away from the internet. Blogging daily and running the online magazine ALO means that a lot of my day is spent online and it got to the point where it was completely dictating my mood. I always want the internet to be a happy place and not one that causes me distress and unhappiness.
Battling Breakouts
As someone who has suffered badly with breakouts in the past, I know how important it is to have products in your stash that can help ease them. Although, there is more to taking care of your skin, than your skin care routine, it certainly helps matters when it comes to battling breakouts.

The 'I Don't Know What To Wear' Outfits
We all have those mornings when we open our wardrobes and we have that dreaded moment of not having a clue what to wear. Suddenly all your clothes look boring and nothing is inspiring you.

Creating A Productive Workspace
Working from home gives me the luxury of having complete control over my workspace. However when I've worked other jobs I've always known the importance of having a productive and inspiring work environment. When you think about how long we sit at our desks it's hard to believe that we don't put more effort into them as that is where the majority of our week is spent. So, whether you work from home or in an office here are a few ways to create a productive work environment.
Staying Happy Online
A few weeks ago I watched a documentary that made me think about how the online world can make you feel and the effect it can have. For me personally, the internet is a very happy place in general. For others though, it isn't and can be damaging and lead to a lot of unhappiness. So here are a few things remember about staying happy in the online world.
Creating A Base That Lasts All Day
After having a hit of sunshine at the weekend, it got me thinking about the upcoming months and how to make my base last throughout the warmer weather.

As my skin is typically more oily or more likely sweaty, I need all the help I can get and here are a few ways I've found to create a base that lasts all day.
