Why I Fell Out Of Love With Fitness & Why I'm Ok With It

For years, going to the gym was such a big part of my life. It was something that I truly fell in love with, which is never something I expected to happen as for so long I hated exercise. At school, I used to dread P.E and would find any reason not to do it so when I got into the middle of my twenties and found myself regularly going to the gym it was a shock to the system. But this year I felt a change at the gym and between moving house and getting a dog I've really fallen off the fitness wagon and I'm actually really ok with that and here's why...

One Palette To Rule Them All

Dedicating an entire blog post to one beauty product isn't something I do all that often. In fact, I can only think of a couple of products that I've dedicated an entire post to so when I do it's a pretty big deal. Eyeshadow palettes aren't ever something I've found myself getting that excited about as so often there is a tonne of shades that I won't use and normally they lean far too warm toned for my liking or my skin tone. But when the Tartlette In Bloom* palette came into my life, I knew instantly that we would more than likely be friends but I didn't realise just how much of a game changer it would be in my routine.

Everything That I Use, Wear and Do On A Daily Basis AKA A Written Vlog

There isn't a day goes by that I don't watch some sort of vlog but it's never something that I've fancied doing myself. Laying myself bare for the world to judge feels a little too scary for me not to mention my life isn't all that exciting. I love sharing my life through Instagram and especially Instagram Stories but the thought of being even more exposed is terrifying. As I'm more than likely never going to be turning the camera around and filming myself I thought I would do my own version of a vlog, through the safety of the written word.

8 Beauty Products That I Was Wrong About

I'm sure I don't need to explain why it's such an awesome feeling when we find a beauty product that we love. But there is one feeling that I think is even better and that is finding out that a product you had no faith in before is actually something you really love. I hold my hands up that I can be pretty judgemental when it comes to certain beauty products and here are 8 that have proved me wrong lately.

Taking A Step Back To Take A Step Forward, Feeling Lazy & Not Being Able To Do It All

We all know that to get to our goals we have to work hard and put the effort in. There is no arguing with that fact but something that is pretty much unheard of or rather it's just not spoken about enough is that sometimes we have to take a step back in some areas of our lives to progress in the long run. And that is something that I've realised lately and it feels so wrong, I feel like I should be doing everything but it's just not possible. So today I wanted to talk all about taking a step back, why it's ok and sometimes completely necessary.

Why I Don't Wear Makeup Every Day & The Real Day To Day Essentials

Over the years my relationship with beauty has changed so much. I've gone from wearing makeup every single day without fail, whether I felt like it or not to barely wearing it and it no longer feels like something I need to have to feel complete or like myself. So here is how and why my relationship with beauty has done a 180 and a rundown of the products I do use every single day without fail.

Handling Imposter Syndrome & Knowing That You're Good Enough

I first heard about imposter syndrome a few years ago and I didn't really know what it was. It was something that I always saw businesswomen discussing and it only took a little bit of research to realise that I've always had a serious case of imposter syndrome. Apart from I never knew that was its official name, I always just presumed I was always destined to be riddled with self-doubt for the rest of my life. It's a topic that doesn't get as much coverage as it deserves as I'm pretty it's something that we've all experienced or are still going through now.

6 Hyped Beauty Products I'm Giving A Try & Revisiting

When it comes to hyped up products I always tend to steer clear as I hate getting my hopes up only for them to come crashing down.

Whilst the blogging world might be gaga for Autumn it's a well-known fact that when those months roll around that we all struggle when it comes to taking pictures.

But here are the best tips and tricks that I've picked up over the years to make photographing in A/W a breeze as dealing with grain the size of golf balls on your photographs is never fun.
