The Lazy Girl Lip Library
Out of all the areas of my beauty routine, the area where I want to be as fuss-free as possible is my lip colour. I could buff and blend foundation for hours. But I can never be bothered with the upkeep of a statement lip colour and a temperamental formulation. So I like whatever I'm using to be as fuss-free as possible but to still be long lasting and make somewhat of a statement on the lips. I've rounded up my favourite lip options that do just that to share with you today.

Blogging & Body Image
Above is the type of photograph that I never thought I would feel brave enough to share on my blog. My stomach is showing, you can see my slightly odd bellybutton and my arms are bare. Those are the things that make me feel super exposed. And not forgetting the fact that I've got a small scab on my cheek from having my face waxed. Because I'm a pretty hairy girl and currently have more peach fuzz than I'd like to admit. But today I wanted to talk about something that's very close to my heart and that is blogging and body image.
Styling The Classic Watch & Getting Used To Wearing One
To say that I'm not much of a jewellery wearer would be an understatement. But if there is something that I always make sure I'm wearing it's a watch. As I'm pretty minimal in terms of dressing I love adding a classic oversized watch to my outfits as I find it adds that little bit of interest without being too overbearing. I'm excited to share a few of my favourite ways to style and how to get used to wearing a watch when you're not a huge jewellery lover.
Battling Blackheads

On The Quest To Live With Less
A big personal resolution that I made to myself this year was to be more mindful when shopping and start to adjust to living with less. Something that I've mentioned before on this blog is that I used to have quite a bad emotional shopping problem. Where I would shop till I had absolutely nothing left in my bank account to try and make myself happy. And it has taken me a long time to overcome that issue and train my brain to realise that material possessions don't make you truly happy in life. Yes, of course, they are nice and I still love treating myself to things that I love but they're not my foundation for happiness. So today I wanted to talk about in more depth about living with less and being more mindful when making purchases.
