6 Unexpected Beauty Products That Fill Me With Confidence
There are plenty of obvious options when it comes to beauty products that can give you a boost of confidence like a killer red lipstick or a flawless foundation. But the ones that give me the most confidence are the ones that you probably wouldn't even think twice about but today I'm going to share my favourites with you and dig into some topics that are always a little awkward to discuss.
Why I Stopped Measuring My Self Worth By Work
The subject of self-worth isn't something I ever gave that much focus to until a few years ago. And the entire topic of self-worth is something that's so incredibly personal and how we find best to measure it is possibly one of the most individual things we can do. For so long I measured how much I thought I was worth by how much I was working and at its worst how much I was earning. Last year I made the decision that I wanted to stop doing this because it was making me incredibly unhappy and I knew deep down in my heart that wasn't how I wanted to measure how much I thought I was worth so I found other ways to measure it and it's made a huge difference in my overall happiness. After writing a post over a year ago on the subject of being average it really was the catalyst for this whole thought process and it's been something that I've been itching to write more about ever since. So here is why I stopped measuring my entire self-worth by what I do to pay the bills.
What Do You Really Need To Run An Awesome Blog?
After sharing my blogging process a couple of weeks ago in this post I realised that I didn't really touch on what equipment I use. Over the years it's changed so much and I think when looking at blogging from an outside point of view it can look very expensive and overwhelming. So from what blogging platform I use to the editing software, I spend way too long with, here is a look at my blogging tools as well what I think you need to run an awesome blog.
The I Need To Look Flawless Fast Edit
We can all probably safely say that sometimes we like to look really, really flawless. But that doesn't mean we always have the time to sit and buff and blend for hours on end till we look perfected. Personally, I'm a lazy girl when it comes to beauty a lot of time and whilst applying my favourite products brings me a lot of joy it doesn't mean I always have the hours in the day to apply them all. So I love to reach for the products that give me my desired effect with minimum effort and here are some of the best.
7 Outfit Ideas To Get You Through The Rest Of Winter
We're currently in the middle of winter and I know personally that throwing on my favourite fail-safe outfits is getting a little tiresome. And whilst the frost might look dreamy it's baltic outside and we all need to be dressed accordingly. So here are a few outfit ideas to hopefully inspire you for the rest of the season and see you through Winter well.
An Ode To Pink
There was once a time where loving pink was not considered all that 'cool' but now thanks to Pantone it's quite the colour to love and I personally couldn't be happier about it. From my homeware, stationery, clothing and of course beauty stash there are always hints of blush pink to be found in my life. I know I'm not the only one who has such a soft spot for the dreamy whimsical shade so here is an ode to a pink as well as a few of my favourite ways to wear it from lips to nails, I've got all bases covered.
6 Awesome Daily Habits I've Adopted
We're currently in the prime season for trying to adopt new habits and making a fresh start. And much like everyone else, I've got a list of new things that I want to try but I've also been trying to add some new habits into my life that are long term and they've been having an awesome effect on my life. Some of them are only small things and some are a little bigger but I thought it might be fun to share them with you today in case you've been looking for some new things to do too.
What Happened To All The Products You Used To Love?
After having to go right back to the beginning of my blog for some reason that I now can't remember it gave me such a nostalgic trip down makeup memory lane. It reminded me all the beauty products that I used to love and now don't talk about or in some cases they have completely slipped my memory. Although it's doubtful that many of you guys will remember my beauty posts from 5 years ago if you've been a beauty lover for a long time then I hope this will give you a little dose of nostalgia.
Dealing With Worry & Being An Overthinker
The later half of 2016 was really bad for me when it came to how much I was worrying. It got so out of control that it was consuming my days and leaving me a shell of a person as I was so pent up with worry and anxieties. Whilst I don't think I'll ever be able to stop worrying completely I know that I can work really hard to not let it take over me as much as it was last year. And if you're a chronic worrier you will know the horrible vicious cycle of worrying [mostly unnecessary] and then becoming worried with how much you're worrying and it's something that can be neverending. So in today's blog post, I wanted to talk honestly about dealing with worry and overthinking.
