MAC Makeover

Hi lovelies!!

I was lucky enough to receive a MAC voucher where I could get my makeup done by one of the girls and then I got £30 to spend included in the voucher!!

I went into MAC at Metro Centre as that's the closest one to me, and let me say, every single one of those girls working on the counter that day were lovely!

Getting my makeup done took about 30 minutes she spent so much time making sure everything was the way I wanted it and asking me how I would normally do certain things so she didn't do my makeup "wrong" to me.

I asked for a night time look, so the lovely makeup artist spent a lot of time making a smokey eye and using colours that would help to make my eyes "pop". I was so happy with the outcome of everything she had done and for the rest of the day I felt amazing! It really is crazy how makeup can make you feel about yourself!

Living In A Hospital

Hi guys,

So these few weeks I feel as if I have been living in a hospital.

I started to have bad leg pain but it seemed to get worse day by day. I went to the doctors and got told it could be shingles and I should keep an eye out for a rash. About a week later it was at the point where I couldn't walk so I went into hospital and had a few tests for a blood clot. They were unable to see if I had or hadn't got a blood clot so they gave a blood thinning injection and was told to come back in the next day for an ultrasound of my leg, which as it turned out I didn't have a blood clot.

So then what happened? I hear you all ask...

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

Hi guys,

I recently got the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara for my birthday after hearing so many good things about it!

First off, I love the packaging of this product. It's in a really sturdy metal tube with a light pink colour and the mascara name embossed onto the tube. You can tell by looking at it that it isn't the cheapest of the cheap but I think with this product you definitely get what you pay for it.

Slim Fast + Diet Update

Hi guys,

You may or not remember that roughly a year ago I done a blog post all about my Slim Fast experience. Well, since it's a year later I thought I would update you guys on where I am now and how Slim Fast worked for me later on down the line.

First off when I started Slim Fast I loved it, I was losing about 4 pounds per week and clothes were fitting me so much better in such a short period of time. However, I cannot stick to diets to save my life! So when it came to a couple of weeks of doing Slim Fast shakes and I started to feel happy about the way my body was looking, I started to ease off the shakes and start to eat normally again. At first, the weight stayed off for a good three to four months, which was amazing because everyone always said to me it wouldn't work. 

New Laptop, Hooray!

Hi guys,

So it's probably been around a year or maybe more since I really signed back into my blog. I'm really surprised to see that people have still been finding my pages and having a little look around my little blog!

Anyway, today I have been out and bought a brand new laptop which means that I can actually use a laptop to do the things I want, yay! My old laptop was good for what I needed it for but because it was a few years old it would literally take about 20 minutes to open up the internet and it never worked on YouTube. So now, I will actually be able to do a blog post without it taking about four hours! I can't wait!

So hopefully I will get back into the swing of the things pretty soon and be able to do the things that I used to love!

The New Year!

2015 is fast approaching us!

I know that everyone is saying this, but seriously, how quick has this year gone?!

I don't know if it's the fact that a one year child takes up so much time in your day that the year just goes so quickly, or if it just really has flew by?

Our Christmas was amazing again this year. 

Everything was so much better and exciting now that Maisie really understands Christmas, who everyone is and who brings the presents!

She had a wonderful day spent by opening hundreds of presents!!

Long Time No Blog

Can we just stop a minute to blow the dust off this little old blog?

Yeah, it's been a while. A long while!

Within the past year life had definitely caught up with me.

The struggle of having my own house, work, college and let's not forget to most challenging but most rewarding without a doubt - being a parent.

Now, I can't lie and say I have the toughest life, or I don't have enough time, because honestly, that's just not true in the slightest.

My life was at the point where after a day of being a mammy, then going to work and college and being home late at night the last thing I wanted to do was sit write, photograph and edit posts on my blog. Honestly, I just wanted a cup of tea and my bed.

The time I did spend on my blog was amazing. Reading comments, interacting with other bloggers and just simply enjoying watching my blog grow.

Now that my life has seemed to calm down a little bit (I say this as I work two jobs, have a one year old daughter and it's Christmas time - which means a lot of sale prep at work!) I hope to be able to blog more often.

I'm definitely not saying I will be blogging religiously with four blog post a week. But I will try my best to keep everything consistent!
