5 High-End Brands To Try
Over the past couple of years, I've become a real sucker for high-end beauty. Even though I'll always be a high street girl at heart there is something so special about luxury products that makes applying it just that little more lovely. However, the world of high-end brands can be a minefield to battle through so today I'm sharing 5 of my new favourites to shop.
The Importance Of Growing With Your Blog
Chances are that if you've been blogging for a long time you will have changed so much as a person. Which, of course, is only natural and part of life. However when you share any part of your life online and grow an audience it becomes slightly skewed. So many content creators that I've adored for years have slowly started to change and evolve their content as they've grown older but sometimes this is oddly discouraged online. Today I wanted to discuss the importance of growing with your blog and why it's not something to be shied away from.
Achieving A Flawless Face Without The Base
When I'm not wearing makeup and smoothing out my complexion with a foundation I like to use some of my favourite perfecting skincare products. Personally, I prefer to make my skin look the best it can by taking good care of it so that I don't need to pile on heavy foundations. So I'm always on the hunt for something that can deliver a bounty of benefits whilst also making your skin look incredible without a smidgen of makeup. I've rounded up six of my personal best to share with you today.
Exercise - For Those Of Us Who Don't Enjoy It
Oh, exercise, how you fill so many of us with dread. I've never been a sporty person, apart from being a pretty good figure skater in my teens. So exercise is something that I've avoided, until a couple of years ago when I wasn't happy in my skin and just how unfit I was so I knew that things needed to change. Fitness doesn't have to be something that fills you with dread or makes you instantly want to fall on the floor. Believe it or not, it can be fun and here is how I've fitted it to my needs so that it works out for the both of us [pun completely intended].
The Luxury Stationery Lovers Guide
A few days ago on Twitter, I jokingly said that I wanted to set up a blog purely dedicated to stationery, binding quality and paper GSM. Much to my surprise, it got a great response which inspired me to write this post. When I say I love stationery, I mean, I really love stationery. It's something that I'm incredibly passionate about and it goes further than a pretty design. The quality of the binding and the paper weight are pretty important when it comes to a good functional notepad. As I know I'm not the only stationery enthusiast out there I've rounded up my favourite brands to share with you today.
A Beginners Guide To Photoshop & Editing
This post should probably begin with a large disclaimer, I'm not a big lover of editing my photographs. It was a running joke during my degree just how much I disliked Photoshop and how I had absolutely no desire to learn about how to make someone grow a third eye. Now, fortunately because it's a program that I use on a daily basis, I've learnt how to address its complexities. I'm aware of how daunting it can look when you're new to editing. Today I'm going to be sharing exactly how I edit my photographs and breaking down the process, it's not as scary as it might seem.
5 Thought Changing Podcasts
My love for podcasts has been well documented. Ever since really getting into them in September I've barely gone a day without listening to my favourite stations. I've shared my favourite shows in a couple of posts [read here & here]. But today I wanted to share 5 episodes that have been thought changing and provoking.
So You Want To Move Your Blog To Squarespace?
Questions that I'm often asked about my blog are; what it's hosted on, who designed it and how I moved over from Blogger? Whilst I'm no expert when it comes to the subject of moving blog platforms. I learnt a lot, during the big 60 hour move & redesign and soon realised that it wasn't as terrifying as I first thought. So today I'm going be breaking down all aspects of moving your blog from design to import. Don't worry it's not as scary as it seems!
An Interview With Freya From Nishaantishu
Today's interview is one that I've been excited to share for a while. Freya from the blog Nishaantishu is someone that I've admired ever since I discovered her blog. She's not only an incredible photographer but she's got an amazing perspective on life. So without further gushing/rambling here is what we got chatting about recently.
