3 Of The Best Primer & Foundation Combinations
Much like any serious beauty lover out there I've tested out more than my fair share of foundations and primers. And without a doubt, they're my all time favourite beauty products to test out because you can pretty much tell instantly whether something works out for you and then with a couple more tries you can really get a feel for it. Foundation is almost a standard when it comes to a beauty routine but a primer is something you're either a believer in or you're not and I'm a convert to primers and never skip then when I know I'm going to be out all day. So here are a few awesome primer and foundation combinations that might be perfect for you.
Interacting With Others Online When You're An Introvert
The subject of being an introvert in the online world has been playing on my mind for a really long time. And especially when it comes to how we talk to others as I think it's an odd presumption that if you're an introverted person that you must find interacting with people online much easier than in real life. And that's not something I find to be personally true for myself as even though of course, in theory, it is easier but that doesn't mean there aren't obstacles in the way. So if you're a fellow introvert and struggle with reaching out and interacting with others online then this post might be for you.
Shaking Away The Winter Blues From Your Beauty Routine To Your Home
Now we're in February I'm well and truly ready to say goodbye to Winter and say hello to Spring. We're of course still a little while away from it actually being warm and with snow, on the forecast for next week, I'm being a little too wishful with my thinking. I'm itching to shake away the heavy blues of winter I've been switching things up a little from my beauty routine to my home.
5 Awesome Podcasts I've Listened To Recently
I've been really getting back into podcasts at the moment and there have been a few episodes that I've absolutely loved listening to so I thought I'd share them with you today in case you're in need of some fresh listening material for the week ahead.
Making Time For Reading When You Feel Like You Don't Have Any & Books To Read In 2017
To say that my time management skills have been a little crappy lately would be an understatement. As my boyfriend has had a few weeks off from touring it's meant my time has been split in more ways than I'm used to and I'm still not very good at juggling everything when he's back. And even though I've still been really good at getting everything ticked off my to-do list, keeping up with somewhat of a fitness routine and some of the other things that I like to do in life. Reading and hobbies have fallen by the waist side as there are only so many hours in the day. So today I wanted to talk about how to fit reading into your schedule when you feel like you don't have any free time and share some of the books I want to read this year.
What Order Do You Apply Your Beauty Products In?
I write about beauty all the time but something I don't do very often at all is talk about the order I apply my products in and I naively think that everyone just applies them in the same fashion I do and obviously that's not true. So as well as sharing my own beauty routine and the order I apply my products I'd love to know what order you apply your products in.
7 Small Things That Make Me Feel Calm & Productive
Describing me as a cool and collected person is something you'll never hear because I'm very tense to the point a yoga instructor once noticed that I naturally hunch my shoulders up to my ears and grinding my teeth is how I hold myself 'naturally'. So yes, not a calm person in the slightest there are some of the things that really help me to be less hunched up and somewhat calm. Being that tense all the time is terrible for you and something I've noticed is that it's not good for productivity at all.
Scents That Will Make You Swoon
Writing about perfume is something that I try and refrain from doing often because I'm absolutely dire at describing scents in a way that can let you get a feel for them. But as I'm having a real moment with fragrance at the moment I thought I'd do things a little differently and talk about the way they make me feel and the emotions they evoke when I spritz them on as that's probably one of the best things you can get from scent as we're all different and can get completely different things from the same scent.
7 Of The Life Mantras I'll Be Living By In 2017
Whenever a new year begins a lot of people like to pick one word to focus on for the majority of the year and live by the meaning of that word. But I'm far too picky to just choose just one word and I like to think of the mantras that I like to try and live my life by and align my values and goals with them. Posts like this are always something that I love reading from others as I feel like it provides a really good insight into who they are on a deeper level.
