The Planner That Changed Everything & Made Me A Lot More Productive

Buying new stationery pieces is definitely not something that I need to be doing, I own an abundance of notepads that will probably see me through the next 10 years of my life. However, starting a new journal is something that I try and do at the beginning of every year as well as starting a new diary and none of the options I had already were cutting it. I  didn't pick up this mint cream dream from the Urban Outfitters sale until a few days into 2017 and upon first use, I knew it was going to change the way I worked and it only took a few days for it give me the productive kick up the bum that I needed. So here's a little tour of how I use it and why it makes for the perfect everyday work tool.

January's Beauty Uniform

Somehow we're now over halfway through January and I'm no longer in that festive lull of not quite knowing what to do with myself anymore and life is resuming as normal. As I'm on the quest to seriously use stuff up I've had a good root through my beauty stash and selected a few things that I've not used in a while as well as sticking with a few classic staples in my routine. So here in detail is my January beauty uniform;

A Few Things To Do After You Have A Big Clear Out

The blogging world is full of people completely changing the way they live at the moment and there isn't a day goes by that someone isn't clearing out their beauty stash or wardrobe. And whilst I love those posts and have done my own in the past sometimes they're not always that useful about telling you what to do with the things that you're going to clear out. Because having the clearout is the fun part and the bit that feels awesome but then when you're left with a tonne of stuff and it's not always that fun to try and figure out what to do with it. So here are few ideas of what to do with the things that you might have cleared out;

The A-Z Of Awesome Beauty Products

Whilst I was sat doing my makeup a few days ago I had the realisation that I've probably used a beauty product from every letter in the alphabet. And then when I really got thinking about it and starting scribbling down the products I thought it would make for a pretty interesting post as they're all products I love. So here is the A-Z [it's missing a few letters, you know the ones] of awesome beauty products;

How I Create Content - From Pictures To Writing

A few years ago I shared my blogging process but so much has changed in that time that I thought it might be interesting to give you an insight if it's something that you've ever wondered about. The blogging world can look very illusive from an outsiders point of view and even as a blogger sometimes the entire world can look too complex and I'm not sure where to begin. So from the very beginning stages of an idea to the final product, here is a look at my current blogging process.

7 Of The Best Style Investments I've Ever Made

In the past, I've spoken a lot about the best beauty investments that I've made but I don't think I've shared my favourite style pieces that I've purchased. And the whole thing about investments, in any area of your life is that it's very personal and we all work with different budgets. For me, anything from £30-£150 is what I consider an investment piece but it varies so much from person to person. So here are some of the best ones that I've made over the years, some are pieces that have stood the test of time and some are new additions.

On The Quest To Be...Strong & An Honest Chat About Fitness

Physically I'm without a doubt one of the weakest people I know, there is no denying that. So writing a post all about wanting to be stronger is something that I never ever thought that I would be doing. Exercise is something that I've never really been too interested in because I never found it enjoyable, it always just felt like a lot of hard work and I never gave it much time. And it wasn't until I realised how much it helped my mental health that I made a real big effort to make it an important part of my life. I don't have the easiest relationship with fitness that's for sure but I'm not sure anyone finds it that straight forward. 2017 is the year that I've decided that I want to try and work on my strength so are some thoughts on that as well as a few honest reflections on exercise in general.

The Skincare That's Keeping My Skin Really Clear Right Now

The fact that I struggled with my skin over the later half of 2016 isn't something that I've been shy to share. And I could never pinpoint where these breakouts were coming from as they were always in the same patch and whilst they healed temporarily nothing was getting rid of them for good. They behave almost like a rash rather than traditional breakouts which isn't something I'm used to. Whilst I've still never quite got to the bottom of why my skin is being problematic I have found a few things that have been helping it stay pretty clear and are helping to heal the scars that the breakouts have been causing.
