26 Lessons To Take Into The Next 26 Years
Tomorrow I turn 26. Whilst I thought I would be having a complete meltdown about not having a few things ticked off my life list I'm oddly excited. I'm looking forward to leaving behind the shambles that were the first half of my 20's and embracing the later half of them. Here are the best lessons that I'm going to take from my first 26 years and always put them into practice in the next.
15 Beauty Rituals To Make Part Of Your Daily Routine
I'm always trying to add awesome beauty rituals into my routine that can do nothing but good things for me and here are 15 of my favourites.
Being A Shy Blogger & Building Confidence
The concept of being shy on the internet isn't something I ever thought about. Even though I've always been a shy person in real life it's not something that I ever thought would transfer into the world of blogging. But it has and it's something that I think is pretty much unspoken about in the online world.
6 Posts You Need To Read
As I'm always saving posts to return back to on Bloglovin. I thought I would round up my favourites from the past few months and share them with you today.
The Cleansing Balm Diaries
Cleansing balms are fast becoming my favourite way to give my skin a thorough and luxurious cleanse. But I've not always had a happy relationship with them and it took me a few years to become accustomed to their rich consistency and before using them they felt like quite a daunting product. I've rounded up all the ones that I've tested over the years, the good, the bad and the expensive.
The Joy Of Shopping Second Hand
Shopping second hand isn't something that I'm new to. During my university days, my housemates and I would scour the local charity shops in the hope that one day we might find a Leica that someone had donated but sadly that never happened. In the past couple of months, I've been slowly getting back into shopping in vintage and charity shops and found so much joy in it. I'm excited to tell you more about some of the absolute gems that are to be had and why it's so awesome.
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.
Knitting & Cross-Stitch 101
Whenever I've written posts about switching off without a screen or unwinding. I always mention my love for cross stitch and more recently knitting. They're two things that I find so cathartic and I'm excited to share a super simple guide with you today in case it's something that you're interested in giving a try.
