I hope you are all having a great start to the week, I'm back with another style inspiration post sharing some of my latest picks for this upcoming V-day. Now that the holiday season is fully over and out and we have said our goodbyes to the year that was January, It's that time again where our news feeds become full to the brim of dozens of bouquets of roses, leather and lace lingerie and ridiculously oversized teddy bears; where do people actually store those damn things? Cupid is on its way people! I personally love any excuse to celebrate with my nearest and dearest and why not get your glad rags on for the occasion. No matter how many times I have looked through my wardrobe, sometimes there just isn't anything that is tickling my fancy and find myself reaching out to the online shopping fairy! With Valentine's day right around the corner, you may be..like me, toying with the idea of what you're going to wear this weekend, whether you are off on a romantic date night with bae or heading out for a night out on the town with the gals. From prints and satins to bold colors, I have put together my favorite outfits from Femme Luxe Finery that I think you gals will rock this Valentine's day!</div>

To start things off it, of course, would be rude not to add in a touch a vintage glamour with this gorgeous <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-polka-dot-ruched-puff-sleeve-dress-karsyn">Karsyn Polka Dot dress</a>. Channeling betty boop...polka dots are set to be EVERYWHERE this year and I'm living for it! This cute dress can be worn on and off the shoulder, It has a slight puff sleeve- which I personally love right now PLUS, it's mega synching and will work well all year round. Style this dress this Valentine's day with a pair of black or clear heels a mini bag and a pop of red lipstick. Bring this beauty back out in the warmer months with a pair of wedges or cork sandals and a string bag serving you all those Ibizan feels. </div>

<b>Ahh, the classic Little Red Dress</b>. We couldn't do a valentines outfit post without a red dress in the mix! This <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/red-one_shoulder-ruched-slinky-midi-dress-savannah">Savannah Red One Shoulder Midi Dress</a> comes in a slinky material, it's super comfortable, figure-hugging and the perfect go-to style when you are looking for something to wear last minute. This is definitely the kind of dress that would be worth getting in other colors as the fit is very flattering. This is also available in Emerald Green, Wine, White, and Black. Brownie Points*: This material also doesn't crease so you won't need to worry about any wrinkle-age in the taxi ride into town. Team this up with a pair of killer heels and some gold accessories and you are good to go my little cupid. </div>

<b>Pink to make bae wink.</b> This <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/pink-satin-square-neck-diamante-strap-mini-dress-beth">pink satin square neck bodycon dress</a> makes the perfect outfit for champers with the gals. Complete with embellished straps adding a bit of sparkle... I mean who does love a bit of bling eh? I have accessorized this look with some statement star jewel earrings to match... because more is more right? I ordered this dress in a size 8 but as this material is a little stretchy, I would recommend sizing down for that cinched in look.</div>

We're giving Kat Slater a run for her money in this <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/brown-leopard-print-satin-bodycon-mini-dress-annabel">Annabel satin feel leopard print dress</a> from their leopard print collection. I have teamed this statement dress with a pair of double gold hoops and black heels for a glam night out. I wore this dress in a size 8 however again, I would recommend sizing down in this one for more of a true bodycon fit as it is a stretchy fabric </div>

<b>Well Hello, beautiful people, It has been a hot minute! </b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mrs. Bloggy McBloggerson is back and it feels like I'm settling right back at home! It really feels refreshing to be sitting back at my desk, doing something creative and having a good old chin wag with you...if you are still reading this...welcome back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As we all begin to settle down for Christmas- (abrupt pause: I say that, but if you are like me and leave all of the Christmas shopping until last minute then your in for a real treat and need to get yourself in ship shape)...for some reason I seem to get a buzz from getting last-minute click and collect happy whilst online shopping getting bits and bobs for my loved ones. Besides the festive food shop and buying yet another jumbo pack of wooly socks for your uncle's cousin's nephew...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naturally, you will want to treat yourself to something fabulous wear this holiday season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over Christmas and new year, I practically live out of a suitcase visiting friends and family and sometimes it is tricky trying to pick out items that we can wear for all occasions. Luckily, I have (fingers crossed) been able to come up with four outfits that I believe may help you get through this holiday season, stress-free!</div>

Polka dots have been a HUGE staple in 2019 and they lucky for us all, they aren't going anywhere just yet! This gorgeous <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/white-polka-dot-ruffle-one-shoulder-mini-dress-alea">Polka Dot Mini Dress</a> makes the perfect party staple for a night out on the town with the gals, complete with one shoulder ruffle detail; We can at least keep half off our bodies warm this season! I have teamed this look up with a pair of silver statement earrings to add a 'boujee' touch and a bit o' sparkle. This is also a style that can be worn all year round! Pop on a pair of black stilettos this winter with a simple clutch bag and you are good to go! In a few months time, you can then dig it back out again, slip into your sandals and bobs your uncle, we're ready to wear it again next summer!</div>

This <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/gold-glitter-open-back-high-neck-crop-top-julie">glitter crop</a> top is an absolute winner! For me, gold has always my go-to color but this is also available in silver for all of you silver loving queens! I also love that this is long-sleeved which means I won't have to worry about that slightly wearing fake tan over Christmas and again keeps me lovely and toasty. Wear this with a pair of high waisted jeans and strappy heels for catchups with the girls and you're sorted!</div>

Let's be honest, between Christmas and new year, there nothing more I would like, than to spend it in my 'comfies' binge-watching Gavin and Stacey curled up on the sofa. This <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/rust-ribbed-bardot-belted-wide-leg-jumpsuit-bell">Ribbed Bardot jumpsuit</a> is stylish yet comfortable- making it the perfect go-to ensemble to get you through this festive period...This also comes in black too! (perfect for those gravy spillages..am I right?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will have you feeling fabulous this Christmas and have fully covered for when that un-expected distant relative knocks at the door!</div>

When it comes to date night during the festive season, I am on the hunt for something sexy, yet sophisticated..and also something that I am able to devour a plate of roast potatoes in. Finding the right balance is key of course...<br />
<br />
When I first saw this <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/camel-bardot-cowl-neck-ruched-midi-dress-malia">Ruched midi dress</a>, I thought it was totally giving off major Kim K vibes and had to try it out! When it arrived, This was luckily and surprisingly very stretchy and comfortable to wear, I am usually a size 8 however bought a size 6 and it is perfect! The Bardot neckline is very flattering and with the power of ruching, enhances all your curves in all the right places. If this style is right up your street, I am wearing the shade 'Camel' however this also comes in many colors including Wine Red, White, Emerald Green, Black, and Neon orange. I've teamed this up with a pair of gold strappy heels and Pearl Hoops to add a touch of glamour. </div>

<div>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">With Christmas only just around a corner, Its time to get into the full swing of festivities. I must say, I have been in the Xmas spirit for quite some time now.....I mean I did put my tree up in the middle of November (completely no f*#ks given) but as we countdown to the big day, There's always that added little hint of magic in the air. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I tend to spend my holiday season catching up on all the festive films that there is to watch, I especially love sitting down and watching the old classics like 'White Christmas' & 'Its A Wonderful Life'....</span>gaaaad<span style="color: #666666;">, that's a tear jerker! My ideal night would consist of watching a movie by the fire with some really good company.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">When it comes to decorating the tree at Christmas, I tend to stick to certain themes. This year, It really has been, out with the copper and in with the gold! Here are some of my favourite gold bits and bobs!</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the year comes to an end, I always like to take out some time to honestly reflect on the past 12 months. I find that it's rather therapeutic to just jot everything down on a piece of paper (or blog post I guess) to see what I have learnt from the past year's experiences. These are just a few of the things that have helped me to stay on track this 2017. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: #f1c232;">Setting Regular Goals.</span></u></h3>
<div>
<u><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br />
</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually, sweat the small stuff.......I have found this year that by working on small and regular goals rather than 'The End Result' has really helped me stay motivated and keeping my good old positive hat on. This for me has been so much more rewarding because every goal is possible to achieve and never seems out of reach. This can be really as easy as finally finishing those pesky to-do lists, actually getting your ass into to the gym this winter or even trying out a new recipe or finding a new hobby or talent. The options really are endless and you will find that you feel more productive without needing a stress ball to get you through. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: #f1c232;">It's Okay Not To Be Okay </span></u></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br />
</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, I'm not about to start hitting out with a Jessie J classic....glad faces all round... This year has been particularly tough on the old heartstrings, but showing emotion is nothing that we should all be ashamed of and I certainly have been making a good job of not hiding it. If you fancy a good cry/ mini breakdown with a bottle of vino or two then, by all means, get it all out, have your Oscar award-winning moment and don't be afraid to share your emotional side.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: #f1c232;">Doing A Good Deed Every day</span></u></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most rewarding of all...<br />
For the past wee while I have been actively trying to find ways to give back as much as possible. From simply reaching out to the elderly and making all of the cups of tea and coffee for all your work buddies to campaigning and donating to charity. I have started to take more interest in helping out local communities and have been lucky enough to work alongside some fantastic charities who have helped inspire me into becoming a better person.<br />

Over the past few months, I have really taken the time to reevaluate some of my relationships and noticed that I needed to start respecting myself enough to let go of those relationships that were getting me down or making me feel a little lacklustre.<br />
<br />
If something ever feels odd or you feel as though holding onto that relationship becomes a bit of a chore.....let it go. Of course, I am not trying to say that you should drop people for no reason....because lets face it, it's a bit of a dickish move....but, if you are forever feeling drained by being in the company of that person, Give yourself the respect and the breathing space to move on.<br />
Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: #f1c232;">Be A Hero For Your Five Year Old Self</span></u></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br />
</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When things get tough and you feel like giving up, Try using this thought to get yourself into trick your mind into thinking more positively....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have recently been using this ideology to get me through those sticky situations when that sneaky self-doubt creeps in. Think of what you have already achieved so far and know that you are strong enough to combat anything......Be your own hero! (capes not included)</div>

<h4>
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Pink Ribbon and of course todays date which happens to be Giving Tuesday, <b>We are celebrating everything pink!</b></h4>
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
I was very honoured in becoming one of many ambassadors for 'The Big Pink' campaign this year alongside Breast Cancer Care. As it stands, Breast Cancer Care is the <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">only </span>UK<span style="font-weight: bold;"> C</span>harity which supplies full care and support for people living with Breast Cancer.</b><br />
<br />
When it comes to Cancer, It has been something has run in my family for decades. Back in 2000. My Grandmother sadly passed away from Cancer after she became terminally ill. My mum has also battled cancer twice already and once was actually battling with cancer when she was pregnant with me. Because of this, It has definitely been something that has always played in the back of my mind thinking there may be a chance that one day I might contract the disease myself.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
Breast Cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK with around 60,000 people diagnosed every year. During breast cancer awareness month last month, around 5,000 people alone will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer.<br />
<br />
I was completely shocked to find out that as it stands,<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">1 in 8 women will be affected by Breast Cancer in the UK.</span></h4>
<div>

As a young woman...well at 24, I wouldn't have ever thought that I would need to start 'checking my melons' but since working alongside Breast Cancer Care, I have really took time out to look after myself, get an understanding and I'm now trying to raise as much awareness amongst young people as I can.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
For some they may feel too embarrassed or frightened but it really is important that we do look for signs and we shouldn't ever feel ashamed. Taking a couple of minutes out your day to check your breasts wont do any harm and could in fact save your life.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
<b>Early detection is vital and it's important to know the signs and symptoms to look out for:</b><br />
<br /></div>
<ul class="font_8" style="text-align: start;">
<li>a change in the size of the breast</li>
<li>a lump or area that feels thicker than the rest of the breast</li>
<li>a change in skin texture such as puckering or dimpling (like the skin of an orange)</li>
<li>redness or rash on the skin and/or around the nipple</li>
<li>your nipple has become pulled in or looks different, for example, changed its position or shape</li>
<li>the liquid that comes from the nipple without squeezing</li>
<li>pain in your breast or your armpit that’s where all or almost all of the time</li>
<li>a swelling in your armpit or around your collarbone</li>
</ul>

<b>Hello You Gorgeous Bunch!</b></h3>
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Since moving house earlier this year, I have totally fallen in love with the land of homeware. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am constantly on the hunt for new and exciting designers and brands to incorporate into our home. Recently, <a href="http://www.photowall.co.uk/">Photo Wall</a> got in touch and kindly gifted me a canvas from their website to style in my home. When choosing pieces for our sitting room, there were so many wonderful prints and wall murals to choose from! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the biggest Audrey Hepburn fan that I am, I really just couldn't resist this gorgeous <a href="http://www.photowall.co.uk/photo-wallpaper/holly-golightly">Holly Golightly</a> print from of course the iconic film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Luckily, Brad gave me the green light and let me take over the design and now this room has a real feminine touch.<br />
<b>Yipeee!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Photo wall is a Swedish brand which prides themselves on their quality of products. When ordering my canvas print it was super quick and easy to navigate around the website. All I had to do was choose a print, customize the dimensions of choice and voila we were done! Fancy making a canvas of your own? No problem! With Photowall, you can upload and crop your own images onto the website and put into a canvas or wall mural and have your own snaps and memories to share in your home. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When my canvas arrived I was totally over the moon! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was easy to assemble (I chose the D.I.Y option) and was up on the wall within minutes. Now it proudly stands in the middle of my sitting room and I just can't get enough of it!! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't quite believe it myself....<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"> <b>It's Brown-Eyed Girl's 3rd birthday! </b></span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The relationship with my blog has been a long and fascinating experience full of meltdowns, mind blanks and mishaps but has also been very rewarding and inspiring, and funnily enough has probably actually lasted longer than some of my actual relationships....<br />
In today's post, I'll be ranting on about some of the things I have learnt from the past three years of owning a blog and I'll also be sharing some of my favourite tips to help for those who are considering starting up a successful blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Choose your collaborations wisely </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not rare that bloggers get to work on incredible and wonderful projects with fantastic brands but it's also not rare to find yourself in odd situations, probably the weirdest project I had ever been offered was by a swimwear brand (I won't mention names) to try out a range of their swimsuits and style them in a holiday lookbook..... the only problem was that I had to return every single one of the bikini's and swimsuits back for another blogger to wear.<br />
<br />
<b>To everyone's surprise.... I politely declined the offer.</b><br />
<br />
Same thing goes for working with companies that really don't appeal to your reader's interests or your brand. If you are solely a beauty blogger, you may not be doing yourself favours by writing about dishwasher tablets or meat hampers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Hustle, Hustle, Hustle</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only way to build your own community really is by putting in the work....or if you don't fancy it, buy your own followers and fake your way to the top.... <b>oh the shade of it all,</b> <b>but that's a rant for a rainy day....</b><br />
Be in it for the long run and if you keep grafting you will start to see improvements, I can assure you.....No matter how small those achievements may be.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Be Yourself</span></h2>
This sounds so incredibly cliche, but it really is true. There is room for anyone and everyone. Stick to being you and try not to get yourself caught up in trying to become someone else. Chances are....if you continue to stay true to yourself, people are more likely to engage. with you and then you can start to build real genuine relationships with your readers.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">You may have crap grammar, but don't worry about it too much!</span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is quite a biggie to me. I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself when it comes to grammar and find myself having to sort out all of those nasty spelling mistakes. It's okay, no one is perfect and It all takes practice.... but I really do apologise if you are reading this or ever read any of my posts and want to scream blue murder at the screen.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little tip for fellow grammar strugglers like me, download the app Grammarly....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total lifesaver.<br />
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">It's okay to express your thoughts and feelings</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have been reading my blog for quite some time now then you would know that the past couple of years have not been the best for me emotionally. The main thing that I have learned is that it really is impossible to suffer in silence and it's really important that you do share how your feeling. Okay you may not want to share those feeling online, but </div>
<div>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Support your local girl gang</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to the wonderful world Instagram, I have met and discovered so many amazing and inspiring women in the blogging/social community. The blogging world can be full of negativity and it's super important to always be kind and support other bloggers. We are all on the same journey!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Don't be so hard on yourself.</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999;">Sometimes it can get a little overwhelming, when you feel like your behind on blog posts and social media and feel like your in a bit of a rut, but try not to get too worked up about it, It will only cause unnecessary stress. Take your time, work at your own pace and most importantly enjoy what you're doing! </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<br />
I just want to say a massive Thankyou to all you lovely people and to brands who have supported my blog over the past few years, I can't wait to see what's in store next!<br />
Sending you virtual love to you all! Here's to the next three years!<br />
<br />
Muchos Love<br />

They pride themselves on being as economically friendly as possible by selling handmade and organic products free from harmful materials. One reason that I really wanted to collaborate with Uncommongoods, was that they are doing so much so give back to communities. Uncommongoods have donated over $1,000,000 since 2001 to nonprofit organizations around the world and that number is still growing today. Just when you think this brand couldn't get any better, they are now shipping to the UK! From homeware to accessories, beauty to gadgets, you are totally spoilt for choice! Here are some of my favourite picks that make the perfect gift for our nearest and dearest! </span><br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Hello Gorgeous!</span></h4>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it comes to highlighter, I personally don't think you can ever have enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(cue, tin man gif.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past few months, I have been trying out different highlighters and illuminators..the good, the bad and the damn right nasty and this one came out on top, above the rest. Social media has recently gone mad over this highlighter from Iconic London and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These illuminator drops really are a little drop of heaven. This liquid based highlight has unbelievable shine, pigment and all over fabulousness and will have you on your way to achieving that J-Lo Glow we all want, in a heartbeat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a multi purpose product that can be used not only for the face but for the whole body too. I like to add this to my daily moisturiser to help give my skin a gorgeous healthy glow and by night, I like to apply this on its own to the legs to help to get those sunkissed pins on a night out! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing I was a little apprehensive about was that it would feel super heavy on the skin however to my surprise, it feels very breathable and never ever feels like I'm caked in makeup. </div>

<br />
Whilst the super glowy look may not be for everyone, you can add as much or as little as you want. It contains a drop applicator to help limit the usage of product used; and also keeps you from wasting any product too. A little really does go along way, On a normal day, I typically use 2-3 drops on the face. It's not chunky or streaky either, it's very smooth and super blendable. I like to apply this using my beauty blender which also helps to achieve that more natural finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This illuminator comes in three shades. This particular one is in 'Original' which has a slight champagne hue. At first, I was worried that this may be too dark for my pasty Scottish skin but it was actually perfect! This also comes in 'Shine' which is the lightest shade and contains a more pink hue to the skin. The darkest shade is 'Glow' which is perfect for deeper skin tones and gives off a more golden look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At £29.99, this isn't the cheapest of products but trust me when I say it is totally worth it.<br />

<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Everyone has their heart broken at some point in there life.</span></b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
From that favourite toy that you left in the supermarket carpark as a child to breaking up with your first ever boyfriend/girlfriend as a teen.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then theres the hard hitting stuff, losing a close relative, spouse, family member or a friend... We all go through it, but the way we deal with heartbreak is most important.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
I often thought that I coped with heartbreak pretty well...or I thought I could at least hide it well enough.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
Growing up, I lost my grandmother at a very young age. She was a massive inspiration in my life and she was the reason I pushed myself so hard to start performing professionally. Then at 14, I lost my dad when he passed away suddenly from a heart attack. This I believe really changed me as a person. I found that in myself, I tried so hard to be as strong and opaque as possible and in doing so I became very stubborn and would easily shut people out as I didn't want to get hurt again. Still to this day it has become a hinderance to some of my relationships.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For those readers out there who don't have animals, this may not be of interest, however I wanted to share my story as I feel that is relatable to many of you out there reading this post right now.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's funny because before we adopted Minnie last year, I never was a "dog person". Ha, I laugh because if anyone was to tell me that I would have owned a dog, even a couple of years ago, I wouldn't have believed you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all started in February last year. I have always strongly believed in adopting a pet over purchasing from a breeder, and when Brad and I decided to bring a dog into our lives, It was not a decision we took lightly. <br />
<br />
Owning a pet is such a huge responsibility and we really wanted to do our research first before jumping straight into anything. That's when we decided to adopt a rescue dog through 'The Dogs Trust'. Whilst many people would have there own reservations about taking in a rescue dog, I had not a doubt in my mind that it wouldnt be the right option for us and I never felt naive to the responsibilities that we would face.<br />
<br />
Minnie was the best thing that ever happened to me last year.<br />
She came into my life when I really was at rock bottom. For those who have been reading my blog for a while, will know that I suffer from Anxiety Disorder and it affects my everyday life. Minnie really was a breath of fresh air and helped me come out from the woodwork and really get my life back on track.<br />
<br />
She absolutely was the best dog.<br />
I know everyone is bias but she was the funniest, most beautiful and clever little pup. She would light up a room and everyone she met, loved her. I swear she was an angel in disguise.<br />
<br />
Minnie and her brother and sisters where illegally imported into the country from Slovakia just weeks after they were born and were taking into isolation at the Dogs Trust. At 12 weeks, she was ready for adoption. We always had our eye on adopting a miniature dachshund and couldn't believe our fate when we got a phone call to say that she was available and they were keen for us all to meet. It was honestly love at first sight and before we knew it we signed the papers and she was ours.<br />
<br />
Looking after a puppy isn't easy. Hilariously entertaining, but not easy.<br />
There was the months of puppy and toilet training... god help us If it was ever raining outside because she would never go to wee outside....did anyone else have this problem? Luckily Minnie was never a chewer....however the only thing she did manage to get a hold of was chewing the heel off my favourite pair of stilettos. Take my hat off to her for her taste in shoes though!<br />

<br />
This story is incredibly ironic because Minnie had always been a healthy little pup. We had arranged to take her to the vets on the 16th of May for her booster jab and for a quick check up. Whilst she waited patiently in the waiting area, we watched other dogs nervously sit with their owners, meanwhile Minnie had not a care in the world. We had no idea that within the next few days, our lives would change.<br />
<br />
On Saturday 21st May, <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">My whole world came crashing down.</span></b><br />
That evening, we were all sat snuggled up watching tv and Minnie was being her usual little self....happy as larry, her tail wagging and tucked up in her favourite place... between my partner and I! (She would get so jealous haha!). The most incredible thing is that I actually said to her that evening-<br />
<b><span style="color: #999999;">"That is the best cuddle you have ever given me, Minnie."</span></b><br />
<br />
As the three of us went off to bed, she lay by my side and went to sleep. At 3am, I was woken up suddenly to find that Minnie was having a seizure and was struggling to breathe. Within minutes, we had her in the car on the way to the emergency hospital.<br />
<br />
As we sat in the reception, I was in complete shock and couldn't contain myself.<br />
<br />
12 hours later, we found out that Minnie had been poisoned by an antifreeze-like substance and it had infected her kidneys substantially. <br />
<br />
Those four days that she spent in hospital were like a complete rollercoaster ride. Minnie was fighting for her life and she fought so hard for such a little pup. We visited her everyday and made sure she was comfortable in the ward so we could have our little princess home as soon as possible. Blood tests had shown that Minnie was on the up and she was finally 'out of the danger zone' and although the effects of the toxin would be more long term, She would be fine and would be back home with us in a few days.<br />
<br />
By Tuesday, She was as right as rain. Minnie had completely perked up and we were able to take her out for a short walk around the grounds to have a little time with her on our own. We just couldn't wait to have her back home again.<br />
<br />
Sadly, That would be the last walk we had together as a family.<br />

<br />
The next following morning, we went to the hospital to bring some of her favourite treats and toys. We were completely horrified when we arrived to see our little pumpkin so sick. Within 24 hours, Things went downhill so quickly and we had to make the hardest decision that neither of us could have ever prepared for.<br />
<br />
Saying goodbye to Minnie was the most difficult thing I have ever had to do in my life.<br />
<br />
It was hard to come to terms with the fact she had passed away so young and would never have the full life expectancy that she so greatly deserved.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
After Minnie passed, I felt completely and utterly heartbroken. That feeling that someone has just ripped your organs out and you lie there feeling totally useless. To others she was just a dog, but to me, she was like our little girl. I honestly don't think I have ever loved anything more. That little girl who helped me get up every morning, even when I didn't feel like it, Made me laugh on the shittiest of days and would never leave my side.<br />
<br />
In losing her, I just wanted to stay in bed and hide away from the world.<br />
<br />
In that moment, I have never felt more alone in my life. I felt so many emotions all at once and wasn't quite sure how to deal with it all. Straight away, I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. What if?? What else could I have done in order for things to have been different?. What could I have done to stop it all? But the truth is...nothing can be done.<br />
<br />
Although I wanted to use my steely determination to battle it through on my own. I knew it was never going to be possible.<br />
<br />
For me the best thing I found in dealing with heartbreak was by talking about it to others around me. If you find yourself in one of these situations and its getting too much...let it all out! Find someone you can confide in, wether thats a friend or relative or even a counsellor. Talk through everything and release all of those emotions that are being bottled up. Remember, people will always be there to support you and lift you back up again.<br />
<br />
Now, two months later, I am trying to put all of the pieces together and trying to move on. Minnie will always have a massive piece of my heart and nothing could ever replace her. I believe that there are lots of things in life that test you, its how you pick yourself back up which is most important.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
During this glorious heatwave that us in the UK are having right now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I know, what is actually going on...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have really had to cut back my skincare routine! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My usual skincare regime just wasn't working well in this scorching heat and was making my skin feel really clogged up. How do all you beauties over in hot countries cope! Please let me know some of your tips, my makeup felt like it was melting off my skin...great look. totally. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's back to basics people.<br />
Here are three products that I have been crushing on this month. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like everyone in the whole world must own or has tried this once in their life. But, I don't blame you, because it is bloody good! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has worked an absolute treat recently, especially in the mornings when I'm in need of an uplifting facial cleanse. This is super refreshing on the skin with the help of Eucalyptus oil and rosemary and also helps to tame any redness. If you haven't tried this already, give this cleanser a go! you won't be disappointed. </div>

<span style="color: #f1c232;"><u>Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic</u></span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't guessed it already, I am a bit of a super fan of Liz Earle skincare.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this heat, I needed a toner that would help bring a bit of life back to my skin....I didn't fancy rocking out the red tomato look any longer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily, I have loved using this toner over the past few weeks!<br />
I use this day and night and whilst storing it in the fridge.... this honestly works wonders in keeping me cool and also keeping those nasty sweats at bay...no one likes that before bed. I would also recommend the skin tonic spritzer version too if you fancy something throughout the day to give you a quick spritz of hydration. </div>

<span style="color: #f1c232;"><u> Ultrasun SPF Moisturiser </u> </span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always like carry an SPF (of at least 30) in my makeup bag all year round.<br />
I came across this one last christmas and I have been hooked since! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to apply this under my makeup and this helps fight against both UVA and UVB rays.<br />
(Safety First)<br />
<br />
This works well as it is lightweight on the skin and doesn't feel too heavy underneath makeup. Previously, I was so skeptical about wearing an separate SPF under my normal moisturiser but I haven't had any discomfort at all! thumbs up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would also recommend this for people who have sensitive skin as it doesn't contain any strong fragrances.</div>

<span style="color: #999999;">With summer just around the corner,</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> (where has the time gone...)</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Its time to plan ahead and get our summer glam on!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">When it comes to holiday shopping I tend to feel rather uninspired. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I often find myself running into Primark, usually last minute and I will grab any old pair of semi comfortable flip-flops that I can find and a couple of vest tops to tie me over for a couple of weeks. Now theres nothing wrong with that but I soon realised that I was in need of a super summer wardrobe makeover! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">So where do we start? </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> From trying to find a bikini that won't give me a massive wedgie, fits the old boobies properly and won't make me feel like I'm gonna pass out from sucking in 'Tina The Talking Tummy'....Dramatic I know, but you get me right? </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Or searching for that perfect summer dress that is airy enough and won't leave me looking like sweaty mess down the seafront. </span><span style="color: #999999;">Its time to get brave ladies and inject a crap load of confidence into ourselves and our wardrobe's. </span><span style="color: #999999;">Over the past week, I have gathered some of my favourite summer picks from the high street and online for all you beauties to have a wee look at! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Whether your jetting off to a tropical destination, heading to the city to hang with friends or partying it hard with the gals, Hopefully this may bring you some inspiration for this season.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"> Hello Gorgeous!</span> </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it comes to buying makeup , Do luxury products really perform better than those at the drugstore?<br />
<br />
That's what we are about to find out!<br />
It has been so long since I last posted (Moving house is a big bag of stress balls) but Im back with a new mini series and we are going to be putting make-up to the test! Im going to be breaking down both luxury and affordable products to see which performs better according to lasting effect, colour, blend ability and all round fantasticalness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the years, I have been a massive fan of 'Touche éclat' by YSL and it soon became one of my holy grail handbag go-to's that I just could not live without. But at £25 a pop, I was on the hunt for a drugstore dupe that could work just as well to brighten and lighten those dark circles. Luckily, I recently came across the 'WOW' Concealer from Seventeen Cosmetics, and at a fraction of the price (£4.99) I was eager to give it a go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Highlight/Concealer sticks are perfect to use on the go and are great to apply under the eyes for an extra brighten boost. They are also really handy to slot into your makeup bag and handbag and can be used over and underneath your makeup.<br />
<br />

<br />
At first glance, both products look similar.<br />
The first thing I noticed was the difference in weight. The YSL highlighter was significantly heavier than the more affordable alternative making it feel more luxurious. I think it would also be good to mention that you get the same amount of product in each bottle (2.5ml). When it comes to the brush, The YSL brush is slightly shorter and the bristles are also somewhat more densely packed than Seventeen's.<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
As we can see from the pictures (below) both products are different in terms of tone. I picked up the shade number '1' in the 'Touche éclat' and the lightest shade 'Fair' in the Wow Concealer. The luxury option is a lot more pink in tone which helps neutralise any blue or purple under the eyes compared to the affordable option which is more of a yellow base to help brighten and cancel any redness.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
When applied, both products are applied in the same way, by using the pump up applicator and is then applied straight to the eye area. During application, The consistency of the 'WOW' concealer is certainly a lot thicker and also dries very easily on the skin. This needs to be blended quickly so that it doesn't turn patchy. If left for too long, I found that I ended up having to heavily drag the product around the eye area in order to try and blend it out properly . In Contrast, The YSL Concealer is light in consistency which is super easy to work with, blends seamlessly and it didn't cake or dry out.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In terms of coverage, I would say that both are pretty equal however the WOW concealer did have that edge. It proved to brighten my under eyes a little more compared to the other which gave more of a natural look. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Throughout the course of the day, both concealers did last pretty well! I did notice however that the Seventeen Concealer stick did crease after a couple of hours and I did have to blend it out with a beauty blender to try to combat concealer lines. On the other hand, Touche éclat was long lasting and I was able to apply it hours later without the use of a mirror and still blended out beautifully.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, I would say that both products didn't disappoint but personally 'Touch éclat' will always be my favourite. For those who want good coverage and an affordable option, I would absolutely recommend anyone to try out the Wow Concealer from Seventeen Cosmetics. But in Terms of performance and how easy the product was to apply, YSL wins it for me! </div>

<span style="color: #f1c232;">Hello Gorgeous! </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">When it comes to buying skincare...it can get a little overwhelming.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> I used to find it quite intimidating walking into clinics and department stores to pick up products. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> I had no clue what to look for... I would mostly just look at what my mum had lying in her cupboards and would go buy that or I would be walking around a store looking like a lost pup. Before I knew it, I would be on my way into Superdrug or Boots, picking up any old moisturiser or cleanser that was 'For all skin types' and hoped that I wouldn't break out in some sort of rash when I got home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Luckily, Dermalogica has made it easier for us when it comes to finding the right product for us. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Detmalogica is a brand that I have wanted to try for years and I was kindly chosen to be a part of the #MyFaceMyStory campaign which is all about discovering skincare and telling our story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> Recently I took a trip to my local Dermalogica salon to be 'Face Mapped'. This is a free service in which you can meet with a specialist and talk through your skincare concerns. Then he/she divides your skin into 14 zones and analyses your skin through a magnified viewer to look at your skin type, texture and condition and will then determine which products are the perfect fit for you. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">I have never suffered with problematic skin but right now, I have a lot of enlarged pores, especially around my nose and chin area and I wanted to get rid. </span><span style="color: #999999;">I was on the hunt for a product that would help to minimise the appearance of my pores and find skincare that caters for all of my skin needs. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #f1c232;"> </span><br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Here is a short clip of my Face Mapping Experience</span></h3>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">After being 'Face Mapped', the specialist will then write out a tailor made prescription for Dermalogica products that he/she would recommend for you based on your skin analysis. This then makes skincare shopping so much easier when it comes to what to buy in store and also online. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">No more panic attacks or feeling like you are completely confused.</span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232;"><u>Pre Cleanse</u></span></h3>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">This is a oil based first cleanse to help remove makeup and prepares your skin for your second cleanse. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">For starters, This feels so luxurious on the skin.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It is super gentle, smells so fresh and once water is applied, this turns into a lovely milk texture and melts all traces of facial makeup.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">This has become one of my favourite ever skincare products!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">One thing that I learned from going to see the specialist is to not only cleanse the face, but to also cleanse the neck and décolletage and not forgetting your ears! Honestly you may think I'm mad for saying it but next time your cleansing you face give those ears a rub, you will so much better.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">One thing I would mention is that this will not get rid of sturdy mascara but works super well in removing facial makeup. After rinsing, this did not leave a film on my skin or make me feeling greasy at all. </span><br />
<br />

<div>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">When it comes to finding the right cleanser, Dermalogica has a range to choose from. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Over the past couple of weeks I have been trying out this foaming gel cleanser. This comes in a 250ml bottle which is fabulous as you only need a very small amount so I know this is gonna last a long time. This cleanser is also soap free and doesn't contain any fragrance. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">After the first few days, I actually found that my skin was becoming quite dry and flakey. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"> Then I realised that I wasn't using this cleanser properly! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #999999;">Note to self: Always pay attention to the instructions. </span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Foaming cleansers can sometimes be quite drying anyways and I soon realised that I wasn't foaming up the product in my hands enough before applying it to the face. If you currently suffer from the same problem, give that a little try!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">So I persisted, (and by actually using the product the way it should be) and thank god I did because now my skin now feels less dehydrated and has really helped to thoroughly cleanse my skin leaving it looking bright and free from dirt and grime.</span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I am already such a fan of spray toners and couldn't wait to try this out! I love spray toners as they are just so simple to use and I like to carry a bottle in my back when I'm on the go and looking for a quick refresh during the day! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I predominantly use this after the foaming cleanser and this helps to give my skin and instant hydration boost and also helps to seal my pores after my second cleanse. Again, This comes in a trusty 250ml bottle and is formulated without artificial fragrances. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">This smells beautiful! It has a tangy orange scent without being too overpowering and doesn't leave me feeling sticky. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I was really keen to get my hands on this mask as it specifically helps to remove excess oil that can generate congestion and <b>enlarged pores</b>. This is a gentle white clay mask which doesn't flake or harden when dry, it is very comfortable on the skin and can be washed off after 10 minutes. This is perfect to use as a quick morning mask or it can also be used in the evening for a good old pamper sesh. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I like to focus on using this on my T-zone, especially around the nose where I tend to get a bit clogged up. After regular use I have noticed that my pores are visually smaller and my skin is looking healthier. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing some more positive results after more regular use! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Dear,</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"> This old picture of me in a bikini.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">You are capable of loving your body,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Its time to start believing it. </span></div>
</h3>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may not be six foot tall or have an eight pack or only eat kale for breakfast lunch and dinner but its okay, Ive got your back.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">......</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Growing up, I was never scared to get my kit off.</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that may sound a bit of an eyeopener but it is true.<br />
As a performer, I was surrounded by people who wouldn't think twice about changing infront of each other and would never shy away from getting the old bits and bobs out and we would be proud to show them off!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These pictures are from when I was probably the happiest with my body..... I have never been stick thin or had super hot pins but I was confident in my own skin.<br />
So what changed.....</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ever since the good old hormones kicked in and my body was changing, I have always been subconscious about my legs. They were always very muscular and they were always referred to by others as 'tree trunks'. No matter how much I would try laugh it off, but It would still eat away at me.<br />
<br />
My legs have always been a part of my body that I have always wanted to hide. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When it comes to style picks, my favourite friend has aways been the trusty maxi dress. For years, I have been tucking my body into a maxi- pretending that I actually made an effort when all I did was to hide the part of my body that I hated the most. Don't get me wrong, that wasn't the only reason, but it did make me feel a lot more confident with my body hidden.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitaU3llyJLbTfMOxLBeCmrXQ2G2wSaDzqZxcoc7MedeezwZTgsg_WW5q0enV6J2_ye3-vN_squkWcJi9WhJZSTktNdCYxAvjhlkiqSGrTevi9emZ7kZnI_F6vkkOUfRYYXKAkF79v5PGV6/s1600/536848_10151919188531869_1192154739_n-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitaU3llyJLbTfMOxLBeCmrXQ2G2wSaDzqZxcoc7MedeezwZTgsg_WW5q0enV6J2_ye3-vN_squkWcJi9WhJZSTktNdCYxAvjhlkiqSGrTevi9emZ7kZnI_F6vkkOUfRYYXKAkF79v5PGV6/s640/536848_10151919188531869_1192154739_n-2.jpg" width="530" /></a></div>
<br />
It became increasingly apparent that I hated the way my body looked.<br />
My instant reaction was...<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;"> 'Well....If I could just loose a couple of stone then I would be so much happier'.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>That is bullshit....</b><br />
don't ever listen to that little demon in your head.<br />
If I've thought this once, Ive thought this a thousand times over. If weight is the only thing that is getting you down, then yes, absolutely, find a healthy way to get fit but to think that by being thin, this will make you somehow a happier person... I am not convinced.. even though I have tried to believe over the years that it was true. Its not.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why do we criticise ourselves so much? Why do we pressure ourselves in getting that perfect 'Summer Body'<br />
<br />
Do you think the lady sat with her boobies out on the lounge chair cares? Or the man in the tight pair of Speedos over at the bar drinking Stella Artois? </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dont think so. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began to realise that we don't seem to notice other peoples body hangups because are so caught up with our own insecurities. I may not look like a complete supermodel in a bikini but who cares?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<h3>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Its all about acceptance!</span></h3>
<br />
Accepting that as someone who is 5ft 2 and a half.....Im never going to look like Gigi Hadid or Kendall Jenner and I may never be able to wear a pair of jeans, that I won't need to roll the legs up a few times over but thats the beauty of it... We are are different for a reason.<br />
<br />
If we were all the same that would be boring and we need to start realising it.<br />
We are all special!<br />
So from now on I'm setting myself and everyone reading this right now a challenge.... Its time to start loving ourselves and treating our bodies with respect.<br />
<br />
To kick off the challenge, Mention one thing you like about your body everyday. Whether it's just a mental note to yourself or write it down somewhere so you that you can look back at it and it make you smile.<br />
<br />
You are capable of loving your body! You just have to start believing it.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Kim Kardashian.....my big arse is now a fashion statement, So today I'm embracing my wobbly bits and I'm proud of my curves......first note written down.<br />
<br />
'Does my bum look big in this' is a question I am no longer afraid of. Cheers Kim.<br />

The winter months can really take it's toll on our skin, leaving it dry and flakey.<br />
Recently, I have really been into facial oils in order to revive and give my skin all of the hydration it has craved in order for it to recover. Luckily, I have found myself a little hidden gem from <a href="https://www.charlielocks.com/">Charlie Locks</a>. Charlie Locks are a professional skin care brand which supply a wide range of products to help your skin look its ultimate best.<br />
<br />
This balancing facial oil is best used as a six week intensive treatment oil taking you on a journey to achieving lifted and luminous skin. This is the perfect time to really take the time pamper your skin and prepare it for spring!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This facial oil is said to 'boost your mood and also balance our natural oil production.' This 30ml bottle contains a range of essential oils to help us achieve the look of a summer glow in winter! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The three main oils being:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Sweet Orange </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Mandarin </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">& Neroli </span></b><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Straight away I was drawn to this combination as I wanted an oil that would give my skin a well needed boost and hoped these ingredients would brighten up my dull complexion. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">(Vitamin C, come at me!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past few weeks, I have used this every evening after cleansing and toning and in place of my usual moisturiser. The first thing I noticed was the scent, it smells gorgeous! It is very citrusy and refreshing and also very warming on the skin which felt really soothing before heading to bed. This oil is also pigmented which helps to brighten up your skin tone but luckily ladies and gents, It will not stain your skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is recommended to use four to six drops of oil onto the hand and then to massaged into the palms and then applied to the face. This may seem like a lot of product, but I was super surprised how comfortable and non greasy this formula was and it did sink into my thirsty skin very quickly leaving it super soft and hydrated. I also find that whenever my skin is playing up, when the good old hormonal spots come out to play, this helps to combat any nasties that may appear!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past month, I have noticed a difference in my skin texture. It looks more even I would say this product has been successful in giving me back that faux summer glow! My skin is feeling more hydrated than ever and finally I feel that I no longer look like Morticia Adams!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #999999;">See you later winter skin!</span></b></div>

<h3>
Hello Everyone! </h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it comes to beauty products , it is vital that we not only look after our skin from the outside but also delving into our 'inner beauty'.<br />
<br />
Ladies and gents, let me introduce you to Regime London.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regime London are a nutricosmteics brand which supply beauty supplements to help us achieve beautiful glowing skin from the inside. I was recently sent a 30 day supply of there deluxe collagen capsules to try out and I will be giving my honest review.<br />
<br />
Until now, I never thought of ever taking beauty supplements. vitamins, Yes but it never really crossed my mind to ever take supplements for my skin. At 23, I am aware that I don't necessarily need to actively start seek anti ageing products however I am curious to see whats on the market and to try out products that indicate positive results.<br />
<br />
As we get older, the rate of collagen production slows down and the elasticity of the skin decreases. This is where <a href="https://www.regime.london/products/deluxe-collagen">Deluxe Collagen</a> comes into play! This supplement is said to 'enhance skin beauty and help fight visible signs of ageing'.<br />
<br />
There are 120 capsules in a tub of Deluxe Collagen and are to be taken daily. To start off, I used the recommended dose; two tablets in the morning and two in the evening. These tablets are also to be consumed after food and with a full glass of water. After two weeks, I then upped the dose to around six tablets per day. I would definitely recommend these to be consumed after food as I found that I did start to feel a little nauseous when I had taken them alone. I would also say that the tablets are very large in size, If you have any trouble swallowing tablets, this may not be the supplement for you. </div>

<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
So whats inside? </h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each capsule contains Peptan Hydrolysed Collagen and to help stimulate collagen production and also vitamin C to help naturally brighten and plump the skin. The use of peptan in this supplement is from fish, meaning this product is not suitable for vegetarians.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Results</h3>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After taking deluxe collagen for a full month, I have noticed that my skin feels a lot firmer and also smoother.... as you may have read in my past couple of posts, the winter really took its toll on my skin and I was in desperate need of a skin miracle. During the first couple of weeks, I did not recognise any development in the condition of my skin but after regular use, My skin felt no longer dry or flakey and now it does look less lack luster and dehydrated. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also like the idea of using a supplement as an add on to my skincare routine and I have found that I am starting to see a big difference when collaborating the collagen tablets, with my usual skincare products. I would recommend this to anyone who is passionate about taking care of their skin and also for those with more mature skin types. As I have not specifically used this product to combat wrinkles or reduce signs of ageing, I cannot personally confirm that it is successful in doing so, however I would love to know if this has worked for anyone else! </div>

<span style="color: #f1c232;">Hello Lovely!</span></h3>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we make our way through January, Many of us want to start the new year by getting back in shape... New year, new me and all that jazz...<br />
<br />
Every year I say to myself I want to get in the best shape that I've ever been in..... so what went wrong haha!. Well to begin with, I tend to start off pretty well....I feel motivated, energetic and raring to go, but to be honest after a few days.... I get bored. <br />
<br />
Training as a professional dancer, I was always super fit but when I decided to take a break two years ago, I lost my motivation, my six pack and my get up and go. I didn't realise however what affect that would have on me mentally. Not only did I feel like Mr Blobby 24/7, but I felt down a lot and as someone who struggles with anxiety, I put my feelings down to being anxious. Never did it cross my mind that I was feeling down because I wasn't working out!<br />
<br />
Yes the magazines may tell you its time to get fit to get thinner this month... But Ladies and gents, I am starting a new resolution...<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #f1c232;"> 'Lets Get Happy Fit!'</span></h3>
<br />
Over the years, I have tried many diets, the extreme workout videos, the dreaded shakes and eating 500 calories a day just so I could look in the mirror and feel like I fitted in!<br />
Okay so yes I did loose weight, but I felt sooo miserable and after a couple of months, I was back to eating rubbish and felt like all that work was for nothing and it wasn't healthy.<br />

Now I'm on a journey to work out, not to necessary loose weight (although I mean that would be great) but I am working out to feel happier and more healthy. Exercise is such an amazing way to keep ourselves in check as it sends happy chemicals to the brain and releases endorphins which instantly makes us feel more energised.<br />
<br />
In just two weeks, I have been exercising almost everyday.... not major amounts, but around a 10 minute workout everyday just to give me a boost that my body craves! To start off with, I wasn't sure how long I would last before I got bored, but I couldn't believe the transformation that I felt. After five days, I had so much more energy and I have noticed that I am less stressed and more importantly I feel a lot happier. For once I am not focusing on the weight I need to lose, but focusing on what my body needs. No more crazy fad diets and slimming shakes, just taking the time to exercise to feel good!<br />

One great tip that I would say to you if you fancy jump on the happy train with me is to discover something you enjoy! Find something fun, so it never seems like a chore!<br />
<br />
For me, I love dance workouts as there is nothing better than prancing around the room to your favourite tunes and shaking your toosh and it never feels like I'm under pressure!<br />
<br />
I have also recently discovered a passion for yoga. Yoga has helped me to take some time out of my day and focus on my inner strength and learning to let go of everyday stresses. My favourite yoga workout at the minute is the 30 day Revolution with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene">yoga with adriene</a>. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who fancies giving yoga a try!<br />

<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Now we are ready to workout, Its time for new workout gear! </span></div>
<div>
<br />
When it comes to choosing your sportswear , Its super important that you feel comfortable in everything you wear so we can carry on feeling fabulous!. I recently came across <a href="http://www.daisyandcolondon.com/">Daisy & Co London</a> and I was kindly sent a couple of their pieces to try out! <br />
<br /></div>
My favourite piece being this daisy print <a href="http://www.daisyandcolondon.com/product-page/8842fa05-2d15-0932-a7f7-b73b364f1ff9" style="font-weight: normal;">sports bra</a>. This is honestly so comfortable! When it comes to buying a sports bra it is essential that you get a perfect fit. From past experience, I find that sports bras either look trendy but have no support or on the other hand it is super comfy but looks like something your nan would wear. This sports bra, I can honestly say fits like a glove! I ordered a small and I am a size 8-10 not only does it look fabulous, I am super confident that I am fully supported during my workouts and I won't have any dodgy malfunctions....no one wants that!. This bra also included removable pads which adds to the comfort factor.<br />
<br />
I am also crushing on this print! It's so cute and its great to have a bold piece in your workout wardrobe to help brighten up your day and the cross back detail is just gorgeous.....five stars from me! Happy Paige!<br />
<br />
It is also important to have a classic black piece that will go with everything and this <a href="http://www.daisyandcolondon.com/product-page/c4b7d374-1ad6-b890-3f2a-c9e43153c2c2">black vest</a> is perfect! It isn't too tight, its breathable, quick drying and the top won't ride up! I find this is a problem with other vests that I have tried, as soon as I start working out my tummy is out on show. In addition, I also really like the keyhole back as it adds a bit of interest to any look and with the cross back sports bra, I think it looks super cool!<br />

Hello Everyone! </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it comes to makeup everyone seems to have gone a little palette mad! Over the years I have tried and tested many palettes in my collection but it never really crossed my mind to try out natural and mineral shadows until now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was always very sceptical when it came to mineral makeup, I always thought it wouldn't be incredibly long lasting or would give me the pigment that I so craved but I wanted to put my skepticism behind me and was lucky enough to be sent the Pacifica 'Enlighten Eye Shadow Palette' from <a href="https://www.naturallybetteryou.com/pacifica-enlighten-eye-shadow-palette">Naturally Better You</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing that drew me towards Pacifica as a brand was that all of there cosmetics are 100% natural, vegan friendly and cruelty free. I am so obsessed right now in using organic skincare so when I saw this I naturally gravitated toward their products.</div>
<br />

<br />
Whilst swatching these shades I was impressed by the pigment especially with the shade 'Golden', the lightest shade 'Skinny Dip was practically transparent on my skin and I wouldn't say that it was a true matte shade as it did still have a slight shimmer but that didn't really bother me. As a whole, I would say that these shadows are very light and warm in tone and are very natural looking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When applied onto the eyelids, the shadows didn't feel drying on the lid as all shadows have been made with coconut water to give the shadows a creamy finish and helped the colours to blend seamlessly on the lid. However I would say that 'Urchin' did start to appear a little muddy after a while and if blended out too much the shadow did start to disappear.<br />
<br />
These shades did actually last longer than expected! But I would say that I would highly recommend using an eye primer to help with the longeviety of the shadows as they won't last all day. However if your looking for an everyday natural palette then give this one a go.<br />
<br />
I think this would also be great palette for those starting out with makeup or for someone who enjoys want that natural effortless look as these shades aren't too overpowering and will give a natural sheen to the eye.<br />
<br />
So my verdict...<br />
These mineral shadows were surprisingly really nice. They felt very comfortable on my skin and did blend well and I would use the lighter shades for an everyday simple look or to add a bit of highlight to any other look. They aren't incredibly long lasting, but are perfect for an easy, on the go shadow of colour. </div>

Happy New Year Everyone! </h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we begin a new year, Its a good idea to start looking at whats missing from our skincare wardrobe. So what better way to start with a simple cleanser. Im kicking off the first blogpost of the year with a review of the Soley 'Fersk White Cleansing Foam' which was sent to me by <a href="https://www.naturallybetteryou.com/">Naturally Better You</a>. 'Naturally Better You' are a website which showcase natural and organic skincare brands including Weleda, Dead Sea Spa Magik and of course 'Soley'. They also make our skincare shopping experience easier by filtering skincare products into specific categories and skincare concerns so that you can find the exact product for your needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who haven't heard of Soley, They are a luxury organic skincare brand which handpick their ingredients with wild Icelandic herbs. This brand was founded back in 2007 by Icelandic film and theatre actress 'Soley Eliasdottir' and all of Soley's products are completely cruelty free and are 100% natural. </div>

Well it didn't disappoint, This<b> is</b> such a super simple, easy cleanser. It can be used morning and/or evening. I personally like to use this in the morning as it is very light on the skin and feels super refreshing and hydrating with the help of the main ingredient of pure Icelandic water. I mean what could be more lovely!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When trying this for the first time, I was very surprised by how foaming this cleanser actually was. I only ever need to use one pump and it lathers up beautifully (as shown). To apply, I massage the cleanser into my hands and then apply all over the face. I then massage the product in circular motions until it transforms into a creamy milk. The scent is very light which is inspired by the cleansers Icelandic name 'Fersk' meaning fresh. It is very citrusy and fruity and also contains notes of lavender which helps to soothe any redness or puffiness that the skin may have. I find this is perfect to use at this time of the year as the winter weather has certainly taken its toll on my skin and anything that will help to get rid of my red bits then we are onto a winner!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However when it comes to removing makeup, I wouldn't reach for this to remove heavy eye makeup or heavy liner. It does work well to get rid of foundation and face makeup but as it is very light, It didn't fully remove my mascara. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a whole, I would say that if you are looking for an everyday morning cleanser and enjoy using luxury skincare then I would recommend trying this one out. It has worked well in removing any redness that I have and my skin looks and feels more refreshed. The only issue I have is that it doesn't work wonders in removing eye makeup but if you fancy a light easy foaming cleanser, then this may be for you!</div>

Its festive season and lets face it, it can sometimes get a little overwhelming. From those fun fuelled parties to the stresses of christmas shopping, making family arrangements to sending cards to long lost relatives, It can all just get a bit much! Thats why I'm calling for everyone reading this to take a step back and have some me time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we approach the new year, many of us look at January and plan new goals, new starts and new adventures, but in order to really know what we want from the new year I always find its a good idea to have a bit of a self cleanse. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whether thats a relaxing pamper evening snuggled up on the sofa, reading that new book everyones talking about, perhaps discovering a new found hobby or taking a wander round the park. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me personally, I love walking and find that it is a great way to clear my head. Since adopting our dachshund puppy 'Minnie' earlier this year, she has helped my discover my love for the great outdoors... and I don't mean just walking down to the shops for bits and bobs...although every little bit helps :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the weekends, I like to spend a some time at my nearest country park with my boyfriend Brad and our pup for an hour or so to get some fresh air an to unwind. I find that this helps me reflect on the past week and have a clear mind for the week ahead! Theres something about this time of year which is just so beautiful and there's nothing better than wrapping up warm and taking a lazy stroll through the forest.</div>

<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Take A Break From Technology</span></b></div>
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"> Yes it is possible!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"> When technology is everything,</span><span style="color: #666666;"> looking at emails, checking instagram pictures and seeing what Joe blogs down the road</span><span style="color: #666666;"> had for his dinner that evening....Go phone free. Its time to reconnect with our loved ones and look up. Spend time with the people that surround us. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>Take as much time as you need</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">If there was ever a time to milk it, its now! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Find a time to fully relax without distraction and let your body fully rest up! My personal favourite is running a relaxing bubble bath with candles and all and shutting off from the world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Lets get meditating!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">This may be seem hard for those who struggle to switch off but when it comes to meditating, it doesn't mean we have to spend an hour out of our day sitting completely still... Figure out a routine that works for you. I like to meditate mainly in the evenings. whether thats lying in bed listening to some relaxation music or whilst sitting on the sofa for 10 minutes closing my eyes and having some quiet time. This has really helped me to deal with stress and the more you get used to meditating the easier it becomes!</span></div>

Konjac sponges are super popular in Japan right now and luckily we now have access to this over in the UK!<br />
<br />
The<span style="color: #999999;"> Konjac Sponge company are an award winning brand which are the first and largest company ever to produce Konjac skincare around the world. All of their products are hand tested for the purest quality of products and pride themselves on being completely natural, vegan friendly and cruelty free!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">I was recently sent out one of their green clay facial sponges to try out and I couldn't wait to get in on the hype! </span><br />
<br />
<b>This green clay sponge is recommended for those with combination to oily skin and also is suitable for those who have sensitive skin. </b><br />

<span style="color: #ffd966;">What is Konjac?</span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Konjac comes from the Konjac potato plant grown in Asia. It is enriched with minerals, natural in PH and contains a multitude of health benefits including medicines, dietary supplements and also in skincare. </span><br />

When it comes to exfoliation, it doesn't have to have to feel like your forever stripping the skin. This sponge is super gentle and works wonders in removing dead skin cells without rubbing or damaging the skins surface. This product works by gently working into the pores and deeply cleansing the face. The green clay works as an antibacterial to get rid of any dirt and grime that can be lingering on the skin, leaving you fresh as a daisy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On first impressions, this sponge was a lot more compact than I thought. This would be fab for travelling and would comfortably fit into any beauty bag. No more slacking on our holiday skincare!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sponge itself felt very luxurious and silky smooth. I started by soaking the sponge in warm water to soften and then in circular motions, massaged it all over the face concentrating on my T-zone, especially on my nose which has the largest pores. I was totally surprised at how amazing this felt. It literally felt like heaven! no scratching or pulling, it just glided with ease over my face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I continued to massage the sponge in for around a minute and then squeezed the sponge with both palms of my hands to drain any excess water. It is recommend that you don't wring out this sponge as it may cause damage....and trust me you want want to be without it! I leave my sponge to dry on a bathroom hook and it is ready to use once again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This sponge can be used with or without a cleanser. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I personally have been using this alongside my normal cream cleansers and it works perfectly to speed up the process of removing makeup. Plus it gives a much more successful cleanse than just using my hands alone. Over the years, i have tried using facial brushes, both manual and electric, facial cloths and sponges but this for me really stands out. Its simple in design yet so effective and impressive and I can honestly say everyone reading this should give it a try!</div>

<span style="color: #ffd966;">Hello Lovely!</span></h3>

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">When it comes to some hair dye, I have had my fair share of a disasters in my time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> From the age of around 15, I started to experiment with hair colour and as a teen, I couldn't afford the dollar to have it professionally coloured so I looked towards home hair dye. </span><span style="color: #999999;">I have never really stuck to a specific brand, I mostly just walked into the super market had a wee look at the model on the box and see which colour I fancied at the time. I never thought to even pay attention to what was inside the ingredients, I just thought as long as it wasn't bleach it would be fine. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">I am currently obsessed in incorporating more natural based products into my beauty wardrobe, wether its makeup or skincare, Natural is best.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;"> I was recently on the look out for an alternative to chemically infused hair colour. That's when I discovered <a href="http://www.naturigin.com/">Naturigin</a>.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">Naturigin are a family-owned danish brand which produce a range of natural hair colourants free from ammonia, pesticides and parabens....Yes it is possible! and all products contain organic extracts and oils.</span><span style="color: #999999;"> I was really touched my their story and I straight away was drawn in and soon realised how important it is for us to stop using hair dyes which contain harmful chemicals. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #999999;">Its time that we paid attention to the ingredients in our products and kept an eye out for those naughty chemicals that are hidden in our hair colourants.</span><span style="color: #999999;"> I have attached a blog post from Naturigin about</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helveticaneue" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <a href="http://www.naturigin.com/five-chemicals-avoid-colouring-hair/">Chemicals you should avoid</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before trying this out, I had no idea what to expect and I wasn't sure if it would give me the results I wanted. However I was eager to see if it was something I would later convert to... and I have. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naturigin have 19 shades to choose from and I got my hands on <a href="http://www.naturigin.com/natural-hair-dye/dark-coffee-brown-30/">'Dark Coffee Brown 3.0'</a>. This is one of the darkest shades in the range. I naturally gravitated towards it as I love darker tones for winter and thought this would give me the ultimate freshen up that my hair needed.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When mixing the activator and colour cream together, I was a little worried that it looked very warm in tone but was hopeful that it would balance out my roots; which were very dark compared to the rest of my hair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
One thing I noticed straight away was that there wasn't that really overpowering chemical smell. When applied onto the hair, The product had a subtle floral scent which wasn't strong or uncomfortable for me or anyone around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by parting my hair into several sections and then one by one, I applied the product straight to the roots and massaged them into each section. Once all the roots were covered, I left the dye for around 10 minutes. I then applied the rest of the bottle to the remaining parts of my hair and combed the colour through from root to tip. Afterwards, I left the hair for 20 minutes to let the dye do its magic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During that time, I would normally sit there twiddling my fingers or using the end comb to itch my scalp once in a while...does anyone else's head get itchy? and after about 15 minutes I will usually be desperate to wash it off.<br />
<br />
With Naturigin, it was a completely different story.... No itchiness, no harsh smells, no desperate need to get it off. To be honest I completely forgot I even had it on!<br />
Total thumbs all round from me!<br />
<br />
When it came to washing off the product, It was super easy. The only thing I would say is that when I was rinsing out the dye, my hair felt very dry and lacking in hydration.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, like any other hair dye, this kit contains a 'Colour lock' to condition and trap the colour into the hair. This helped straight away to get rid of any dryness I had previously noticed. This is a gel formula rather than the everyday cream based product. It reminded me more of a shampoo than a conditioner but it did smell gorgeous and a little did go a long way. </div>
