<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Easter weekend everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you were lucky enough to get some time off work this weekend to relax</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kick started my Easter holidays in the most relaxing way possible with a luxurious facial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(FYI: My first facial ever!!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well as being home to a gorgeous spa, 200 St Vincent Street is a fabulous conference, events and wedding venue situated in the heart of Glasgow city centre. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The perfect location for a post work pamper session or a lunch hour treat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a whole host of treatments available which you can see in the brochure <a href="http://200svs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/200_Brochure-SPA.pdf">here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Personally I have been having a really bad time with my skin recently. Particularly on my left cheek. I seem to have a cluster of under the skin spots which just won't shift! It's really beginning to get me down so I decided to try the Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing in the hope that it would get rid of them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I arrived at the spa I was greeted by Jennifer the lovely spa manager. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She showed me around the spa which includes a relaxation room </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVAwpeVMP3LW9gCcvMGxeMwbrhGX4OdGwUcl5BnxpxvKGJxOz7RT8B3OQnFOX07CXCL7r-Q5VmQ-j8Gb1J-orYwMRmCjupzK6bs35FRHlkMLAep145buUfaIQdg2gCCc0DudR2WPrfEYU/s1600/The+Relaxation+Room+(Large).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVAwpeVMP3LW9gCcvMGxeMwbrhGX4OdGwUcl5BnxpxvKGJxOz7RT8B3OQnFOX07CXCL7r-Q5VmQ-j8Gb1J-orYwMRmCjupzK6bs35FRHlkMLAep145buUfaIQdg2gCCc0DudR2WPrfEYU/s1600/The+Relaxation+Room+(Large).jpg" height="344" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can pop in here after your treatment for a glass of prosecco or some afternoon tea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This would be a great idea for a girls day out or a hen party!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once in the treatment room I explained my skin woes to Jennifer and after inspecting my skin she advised that the Tri-Enzyme resurfacing may not be the best option and that it may irritate my skin further. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She suggested paying a visit to my GP as it may be something easily sorted with a course of antibiotics. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead she recommended a "Skin Specific Facial" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This way the facial would be catered to my own skin </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really appreciated this as she was taking my needs into account and using her years of skin care experience to give me the best advice possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5xQl5Xe6cOcBHwy3Nq5pZsiF_NqoWrKHpX_hjB4zOcn3twa664AKLr3WAWRBoZbiPhMD-NqNxoEkgXRVkcK_jf30OiMalBdIQr9jDVwqHEdQRAzTfP1aQnTqAB32bP42dwaZiZaAJIqo/s1600/Elemis4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5xQl5Xe6cOcBHwy3Nq5pZsiF_NqoWrKHpX_hjB4zOcn3twa664AKLr3WAWRBoZbiPhMD-NqNxoEkgXRVkcK_jf30OiMalBdIQr9jDVwqHEdQRAzTfP1aQnTqAB32bP42dwaZiZaAJIqo/s1600/Elemis4.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the products used during the facial were Elemis </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They felt so luxurious and the smells were amazing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was relaxing music playing throughout and I was even treated to a neck, shoulder and scalp massage as part of the process. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I almost fell asleep a few times. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jennifer explained that it would be helpful to get as much hydration back into my skin as possible</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been scared to moisturise properly recently as I worry that any products I put on my face are going to irritate my skin more! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She used a serious of hydrating serums to achieve this and assured me that Elemis plant based products should not aggravate my skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a little sceptical about how much difference the facial would make to my skin </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had never had one before so wasn't really sure what to expect</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However I am absolutely over the moon with the results! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My skin feels so soft and smooth, my nasty dry patches are gone and although I think a trip to the GP is probably still necessary the difference it has made to my problem area is unreal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I really really would rather not post pictures of my spotty face over the internet as I'm self concious enough about my skin but I really think this is worth seeing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first picture was taking in the morning before I went for my facial </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second was taken this morning, 4 days later </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obviously my skin hasn't cleared up completely but I think you will agree there is a huge difference already! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The redness has calmed down considerably</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would highly recommend paying The Spa at 200 St Vincent Street a visit if you are in Glasgow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lovely staff and stunning surroundings really gave me a wonderful experience </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the improvement in my skin is obviously a fabulous bonus! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

What do you think of my results?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever had an Elemis facial?</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after about a year of neglecting my poor little blog to concentrate on getting my degree </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Getting there slowly but surely)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's time to wipe the cobwebs off and get stuck back in!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently participated in a short documentary all about life online </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got interviewed along with another couple of lovely ladies who are as interested in social media as I am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The film explains how I got into blogging in the first place and also why I haven't been as active recently! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The documentary was directed by my lovely little cousin Rebecca </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can follow her on twitter @BionicBex</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing myself on camera just cements why I will never do Youtube!<br />I hate my face and my voice haha!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well give it a watch and let me know what you think :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So February is here already!<br />It's one of the best times of the year for being in a relationship. The anticipation of a potential romantic weekend away with your other half or maybe even for some, wondering if they'll pop the question! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However for the singleton's it is a much more sombre event. Listening to your friends soppy stories about their PERFECT other half can be a little sickening! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have set up a little gift guide with my friends at The St Enoch Centre, Glasgow. You can either use it to drop some hints to your partner </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or go out and treat yourself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at the gorgeous box they come in as well! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You could definitely use this as some cute storage once you have devoured the chocs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(which I'm sure won't take long) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now all you have to do is leave your laptop open at this page and hope your other half takes the hint...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or get yourself down to the shops and treat yourself! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day whatever you are doing</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have Twitter or Instagram I'm sure you will have heard the buzz about this product recently!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lip Voltage is the latest beauty craze to sweep the country </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty sure it gained popularity after Holly Hagen from Geordie Shore posted a pretty impressive Before and After photo on her Instagram account </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lip Voltage is made by a company called Dream Weave & Co </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never tried any of their products before but after all the hype I had to give it a go </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN-5aTAW3rn0m_3aGYw5qP3nweZxh9SeikAY2Cf7qY9UuG5aNY_yo3wJFQGZFqgV8ZfgRIjnlXkSjaManEz_ghqlN_qiAVeKqPNzb-xKxQeU8GApJRAiFWLJ5V0SyZsb6n3tEkCVAeE-8/s1600/lipvoltage_gloss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN-5aTAW3rn0m_3aGYw5qP3nweZxh9SeikAY2Cf7qY9UuG5aNY_yo3wJFQGZFqgV8ZfgRIjnlXkSjaManEz_ghqlN_qiAVeKqPNzb-xKxQeU8GApJRAiFWLJ5V0SyZsb6n3tEkCVAeE-8/s1600/lipvoltage_gloss.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn95DXE6olj0K8XN2THJA2GOzofdic-w1pXdLo72cfKx24FZAmNPClAgS_pHWz0jh7jVDj5spokINzOmL6EOQ4voVrMvTInt5mQP3cecru5kz7Q89rkEfo98zTWd0GcPNjE4cG3m6kwnQ/s1600/mixupthevoltage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn95DXE6olj0K8XN2THJA2GOzofdic-w1pXdLo72cfKx24FZAmNPClAgS_pHWz0jh7jVDj5spokINzOmL6EOQ4voVrMvTInt5mQP3cecru5kz7Q89rkEfo98zTWd0GcPNjE4cG3m6kwnQ/s1600/mixupthevoltage.jpg" height="468" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The product comes in two parts </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Part one is the Lip Gloss itself which is a clear gloss which they say is a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'Quick absorbing peptide lip treatment'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Part two is 'Mix Up The Voltage'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which allows you to customise the plumping power of the gloss </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
depending on how much voltage you add </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBsOtht0ZqUSC-2-KTA1JJx6_jlI5C3FMofP-h5PVbqg3Skof8ZMZsxZRkqMqN12tPr2xiiZdUT6nZTeqLyQZdLuat4MSC-OwBS6zk8DzxxQWYQfNNawazDQmkMq533tkwOTevbamYpg/s1600/lip_voltage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBsOtht0ZqUSC-2-KTA1JJx6_jlI5C3FMofP-h5PVbqg3Skof8ZMZsxZRkqMqN12tPr2xiiZdUT6nZTeqLyQZdLuat4MSC-OwBS6zk8DzxxQWYQfNNawazDQmkMq533tkwOTevbamYpg/s1600/lip_voltage.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Drop - Low Voltage </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Drops - Medium Voltage </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 Drops - High Voltage </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you may have tried other so called miracle lip pumping products that leave a minty tingle on the lips </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lip Voltage is a whole different ball game and I'm not going to lie to you girls </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
IT HURTS LIKE A BITCH! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really does sting for a while after applying </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it stops after around 10 minutes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
obviously the more Voltage you apply, the more it will sting therefore I really wouldn't recommend adding more than 3 drops. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1KyUahT4bdghI6TlQF4a3m2G53XsOyvYAaRKap1f_dAiMdMHLcsc63OQRn3P9mniyxqdbB1VhMfL7fOGhNdrHY_Jwppt_w3uveNkp1zTgQN8VrPBj_jcM5eefxbFUAIkrImb9jhvxBg/s1600/Diptic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1KyUahT4bdghI6TlQF4a3m2G53XsOyvYAaRKap1f_dAiMdMHLcsc63OQRn3P9mniyxqdbB1VhMfL7fOGhNdrHY_Jwppt_w3uveNkp1zTgQN8VrPBj_jcM5eefxbFUAIkrImb9jhvxBg/s1600/Diptic.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My before and after picture definitely isn't as impressive as Holly's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I think you can see there is certainly a difference</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two drops this time but I have used three in the past and there is an even more noticeable difference </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It can leave the skin around your lips a little red </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but touching it up with a bit of concealer solves the problem </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As it has been so popular Lip Voltage is sold out in a lot of places </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but if you visit the Dream Weave and Co website they list some local stockists </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know there are a few beauty salons near me that stock it and it is around £15.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY9ffsjVlaUNlyrm-P0PXLBRhWfXGgTp1a7MkPN9TvPz4gxFMx_gZb9WL2v9fHw2LrFPJkKmmpaKaWfxNhFJeOMxcGxuHGbubgr1pn5UlVLybLEjovfC9P2P_Vmp1LtFBp8QMS4_77TOU/s1600/lipvoltage1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY9ffsjVlaUNlyrm-P0PXLBRhWfXGgTp1a7MkPN9TvPz4gxFMx_gZb9WL2v9fHw2LrFPJkKmmpaKaWfxNhFJeOMxcGxuHGbubgr1pn5UlVLybLEjovfC9P2P_Vmp1LtFBp8QMS4_77TOU/s1600/lipvoltage1.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you given Lip Voltage a try yet?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As much as it stings I'm sure collagen injections would be a hell of a lot worse </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I think I'll stick to this method for now! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a total makeup brush fanatic and I don't think you should ever underestimate the power of a good brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It can totally change the look of your makeup </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and while I have more than enough brushes to last me a lifetime I am always looking at or buying new ones to add to my collection! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love coming across new brands to try so when I seen these little beauties from MOXI I knew I wanted to try them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They hadn't been released yet so I registered with their website and waited to find out more details.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was delighted to find out a few weeks later that I had actually been lucky enough to win the competition they were running where you could win a full set of brushes worth over £90</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ0b_iFmiutQmqPmXCNgnsSmOty_BYpqw51mxJ7xdfurbD0ys5UoeI1fYh6RU9I3RyLc22b4MkBRw2RE9O9L8LQdVwvRoJ0QLGDENOyQF8KfhL5FbuTOehJ1iboJGiRP9uTp6PWaryl5s/s1600/moxi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ0b_iFmiutQmqPmXCNgnsSmOty_BYpqw51mxJ7xdfurbD0ys5UoeI1fYh6RU9I3RyLc22b4MkBRw2RE9O9L8LQdVwvRoJ0QLGDENOyQF8KfhL5FbuTOehJ1iboJGiRP9uTp6PWaryl5s/s1600/moxi.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited when they arrived!<br />
You can tell they are a luxury brand straight away as each brush was individually wrapped<br />
I'm a sucker for packaging and MOXI certainly don't disappoint<br />
Each brush comes in it's own protective case to make sure they stay in tip top condition<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-SDYlGlIeGPdqiMrLJkW-tjUExB4X4rAK16AnGehOGjA_XAE2RzmtCPmJy1Bts6y3idRu3zFM2GQzV4MQfUWiEEvhdJkvC404QbOFHOJuUtVEpkkZaCqMI83KGHP_7Llx7I1XsxhEVNM/s1600/moxi_set.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-SDYlGlIeGPdqiMrLJkW-tjUExB4X4rAK16AnGehOGjA_XAE2RzmtCPmJy1Bts6y3idRu3zFM2GQzV4MQfUWiEEvhdJkvC404QbOFHOJuUtVEpkkZaCqMI83KGHP_7Llx7I1XsxhEVNM/s1600/moxi_set.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
They are by far the best looking brushes I own<br />
who doesn't love a bit of Rose Gold?<br />
They feel really solid and well made I think they will last for a long time<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My set of brushes included:<br />
MOXI - Flat Top Angled Brush, perfect for applying foundation<br />
M1 - Blusher Brush<br />
O1 - Foundation Brush, which also works really well with concealer<br />
X1 - Angled Eyeliner brush<br />
I1 - Double Ended Eyeshadow Brush, which is great for both applying and blending shadows<br />
<br />
I am loving these brushes so far<br />
They don't shed at all<br />
The foundation brushes leave my face streak free<br />
and my favourite has definitely got to be the double ended eyeshadow brush<br />
it's perfect for travelling as it's two in one<br />
anything which saves space in my makeup bag is always a bonus!<br />
<br />
You can purchase these fab brushes from<br />
<a href="http://moximakeup.com/">Moxi Makeup</a><br />
Unfortunately their site is still under construction so I can't give you details on the prices<br />
but keep an eye out for their website to be back up and running soon!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
With Christmas fast approaching, it's the time of year when most of us have a jam packed social calender</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All these lovely events usually include copious amounts of food and drink, which although great at the time it can soon catch up with you and leaving you feeling just a bit...Bleurgh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My lifestyle has changed an awful lot in 2013 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to be a complete exercise-phobe. This year I joined a gym and have been going regularly </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My diet has improved drastically I now put a lot more thought into what I'm consuming and try to eat as clean as possible when I can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All these good intentions however seem to go right out the window at Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been reading a lot about juicing and have been thinking about buying myself a juicer to try and incorporate some more fruit and veg into my diet but I didn't want to rush out and buy one if it really wasn't for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily I was offered the chance to try out a Juice Cleanse from a Glasgow based company called Juice Warrior. </div>

Their juices are 100% pure cold pressed fruit and vegetable juices. They are never processed or pasteurised so you don't have to worry about any horrible additives. These juices are all natural,<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
because of this the juices are highly perishable so have to be consumed within a few days, but the company do offer a delivery service. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can pick from a few different cleanses from between 1-3 days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I only opted for one day this time as I just wanted to give it a try and decide whether it was for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is up to the individual whether they want to eat or not whilst doing the cleanse, but it is advised that you stick to fruit and vegetables and don't consume any processed food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I attend the gym regularly it is important that I consume enough calories to keep my energy up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I was quite worried at the prospect of not eating all day, but I decided to try and stick to the juices alone and see how I got on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I waited until about 10:30 to try my first juice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually eat breakfast around 7am but I had a day off yesterday so I had only been up for around an hour when I drank this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This flavour is 'The Golden One' containing - Pineapple, Orange, Sweet Potato and Ginger </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was slightly dubious about the Sweet Potato as it seemed quite a random addition amongst the other fruits but it was really quite nice! It definitely suppressed my hunger. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had my second juice at around 1:30pm </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I opted for 'Sweet Beet' containing - Beetroot, Carrot, Apple, Lemon and Ginger </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I really wasn't looking forward to this one as I absolutely hate beetroot</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I liked all the other ingredients so I was hoping they would sort of drown out the beet taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately that was the strongest flavour and I didn't particularly enjoy this one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I gulped it down anyway. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had another Sweet Beet around 3:30pm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I had to decided to try and get through the day drinking the juice alone </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by about 5pm I was absolutely starving so I decided to make some dinner </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some roasted vegetables </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Red and Yellow Peppers, Courgettes, Red Onion, and Cherry Tomatoes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can honestly say vegetables have never tasted so good! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before bed I had one more 'The Golden One'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would be really tired and worn out by bed time but I actually struggled to get to sleep and seemed to have loads of energy! I was hungry though and had a bit of a sore head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm almost certain that the sore head was due to not having any caffeine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am an absolute coffee fiend and whenever I try and take a day off from drinking coffee I get really bad headaches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I woke up this morning feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad even asked me 'What I was on?' haha </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and although the cleanse is not designed to be a weight loss programme </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did weigh myself before I started and then again this morning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had lost a total of 4lb which will definitely go a long way in helping me squeeze into my dress tonight for my xmas night out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I really struggled with the hunger I definitely want to try this again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will probably try a 3 day cleanse early in the New Year </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from what I have heard the hunger subsides on the 2nd and 3rd day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would you try a juice cleanse?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or have you tried one before?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you live in the Glasgow and are thinking about trying one here is the website for Juice Warriors</div>

Now I won't pretend to be some sort of nail painting extraordinaire </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are usually a bit of a riot, I try and keep them nice and tidy but more often than not, I fail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However since I'm attending a Christmas Jumper Party tonight I thought I would make a bit of effort and make my talons a bit Christmassy :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What colours are more gloriously festive and tacky than red and green?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the red nails I used:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two coats of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No 7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in the shade Devils Delight</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
covered with one coat of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
W7 Nail Polish in shade 2 - Red Dazzle </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the green nails I used:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two coats of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No 7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in the shade Totally Teal </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and one cot of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
W7 Nail Varnish in Shade 8 - Green Dazzle </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the No7 and W7 combinations work really nicely together </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and obviously if the alternating nail colours are a bit OTT for you </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then you could just opt for all red or all green</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What are your go to nails for the festive season ?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be sure to post a photo of my awesome Christmas jumper on Twitter or Instagram </div>

I can't quite believe I'm up and writing this today after the night I had last night! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Admittedly I have a rather sore head, but I am powering through</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was lucky enough to host a fabulous cocktail party courtesy of Social & Cocktail </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the comfort of my own kitchen!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is nothing I hate more (especially in a wet and freezing Glasgow) than going for a night out and having to wait in a massive taxi que to get home at the end of the night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this was my idea of heaven! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My lovely bar tender Evan arrived at 7:45 with a little white suitcase which magically turned into the most amazing cocktail bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They bring everything you can think of from fresh fruit and ice to cocktail glasses and straws</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and probably best of all, they even clean up everything when they are finished!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose five cocktails for us to try from the menu. I wanted to stick to mainly vodka based drinks so there wouldn't be too many sore heads in the morning from mixing drinks,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went for:<br />
Moscow Mule</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
French Martini </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cosmopolitan </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Strawberry Daiquiri </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Mojitos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were all absolutely delicious but I think my favourite was either the Moscow Mule which was so refreshing or the French Martini which is my favourite cocktail of all time </div>

You could tell he was really passionate about his job and was answering all our questions about the different types of cocktails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He also wasn't scared of joining in with the banter in a room full of women! He must have thought we were all a bit crazy, especially after a few cocktails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He done a great job and really made the night what it was. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the prices are so reasonable! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
£25 a head and they were here from 7:45 until after 12 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is definitely worth the money when you think how expensive cocktail bars are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii_YA7yJ8ocR5-bjJyb0ODqTssOpsmDMu7TScMdIE7fWKnGJCWKMaLZ-FJmWMa1jzkVXHBJEZBSyMP-olUyGJWsF5IVXkG8XiL-tJRdCU8XJWXLPycKGZaZVqnu3BY_epsVDifjl06yAw/s1600/Estee_lauder_double_wear_review.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii_YA7yJ8ocR5-bjJyb0ODqTssOpsmDMu7TScMdIE7fWKnGJCWKMaLZ-FJmWMa1jzkVXHBJEZBSyMP-olUyGJWsF5IVXkG8XiL-tJRdCU8XJWXLPycKGZaZVqnu3BY_epsVDifjl06yAw/s640/Estee_lauder_double_wear_review.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One question I always see getting asked in the #bbloggers chat on Twitter is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can somebody recommend a good full coverage foundation?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I always reply with, 'Estee Lauder Double Wear'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I decided it was time to do a post about the product I am constantly raving about</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my ultimate holy grail foundation</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been wearing it for years now and although it is by no means the only foundation I use </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(My stash of liquid foundations is verging on ridiculous)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is the one I ALWAYS repurchase </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the foundation I will always turn to if I have a big night out or special occasion </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as the finish is absolutely flawless and the staying power is the best I have ever used</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWJIK6N56SeWKFrVDqGpAP0qiNvLltPp9izg_GJnZIUf_CwrfBjjNtQ0dPEOUAaTI5VoHbEtzxPimECbMch7JK1d8skACEInIlLwvbMqxUGjEHBxpSYVeEOpG_S7Cf37D0obmz6WuOqUo/s1600/double_wear_ivory_beige.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWJIK6N56SeWKFrVDqGpAP0qiNvLltPp9izg_GJnZIUf_CwrfBjjNtQ0dPEOUAaTI5VoHbEtzxPimECbMch7JK1d8skACEInIlLwvbMqxUGjEHBxpSYVeEOpG_S7Cf37D0obmz6WuOqUo/s640/double_wear_ivory_beige.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best way I have found of applying it is with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These two are a dream combination for a flawless face</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I suffer with redness across my cheeks and this foundation is great at completely covering my problem areas with minimal need for concealer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have tried Rimmel wake me up foundation I would say they are comparable coverage wise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although Double Wear has much better staying power and gives far more matte appearance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes the 'glow' from Wake Me Up can leave me looking a little shiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wear the shade 3N1 Ivory Beige which is a perfect match for my skintone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and from what I have seen they have a good range of colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can head down to your nearest Estee Lauder counter for a colour match </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only negative about this foundation is that it has no pump dispenser</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I have found that the MAC foundation pump fits the bottle perfectly </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can pick one of these up online or in your nearest MAC for £4</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It would take a pretty major contender to get me to sway from my beloved Double Wear </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but if you know of anything that lives up to it with a similar coverage please let me know :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried Double Wear before?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you going to give it a go now?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you didn't already know, a clarifying shampoo is a product which is designed to cleanse the hair and remove product and oil build-up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have extremely irritating hair, it can be dry through the ends but sometimes my roots can feel oily almost as soon as I've washed my hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to wash my hair every single day as I honestly couldn't have left the house without doing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so greasy looking you could have fried chips on it! even although I had only washed it the day before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Washing your hair every day is really not ideal </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It can take up a lot of precious time, which lets be honest could be spent in bed! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus my hair does not dry well naturally, so washing daily also means blow drying daily</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and constant heat is never good for your hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This shampoo has been part of my haircare routine for about a year now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I have noticed a massive difference in my hair </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try and keep my product use to a minimum throughout the week </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weekend is a totally different story though. My poor hair goes through the mill </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I basically pile on anything that claims to give me 'BIG' hair </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come Monday morning, my tresses are in a sorry state </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjarYK3TnZk2AAK-7PTZ6jMjd7QDlUyMYKof5jwWu2wcS9Ge6rFdBVk17r5Q_mjzVUQVWuRGNsQTYhsFgOyMV9DpKYlz_YNs1UlPS9VPgIHwouQhXWiq9jRu8Sv0-c0Rpa8HfDqlBJ05OM/s1600/panteneclarifyingingredients.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjarYK3TnZk2AAK-7PTZ6jMjd7QDlUyMYKof5jwWu2wcS9Ge6rFdBVk17r5Q_mjzVUQVWuRGNsQTYhsFgOyMV9DpKYlz_YNs1UlPS9VPgIHwouQhXWiq9jRu8Sv0-c0Rpa8HfDqlBJ05OM/s640/panteneclarifyingingredients.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's when I whip this out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You only have to use it around once a week to see the effects </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any more than that and you could be stripping your hair of colour and healthy oils that it needs to keep it nourished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hair never feels cleaner than it does after using this and I have found that I now only have to wash my hair every couple of days, which makes such a difference. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also don't be scared to use this on dry/damaged hair, although it gets rid of the product it won't leave your hair feeling straw like and dried out just lovely, light and clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many clarifying shampoos on the market, but this is definitely one of the most budget friendly </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Less than £4 for a whopping 400ml</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and what's more they are on BOGOF in Boots just now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you used this before?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you regularly use a clarifying shampoo?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last night I had the pleasure of being invited to a gorgeous dinner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
courtesy of Chobani Greek Yogurt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chobani is a brand that hasn't long been released in the UK</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but has been a massive success across the pond</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When their founder first released the product there was no big marketing budget </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so the majority of the brands success came from people just like us, bloggers and social media lovers! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore the blogging community is very close to their hearts </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is why a lovely bunch of us Glasgow bloggers were invited down to The Corinthian to try out some of their products! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-wtPN4OqJpZFvTc3lDPhte0psvIhdaAHvru-obGBDStIWFs56tqfZEvijldvqrfRW_kwoFSfvx-ywzl-ciPF6hvtUjYn8rspgxGoghYM1_nLscwVLUE4gGQWNFm1pUvVY-p3qrS6biNA/s1600/chobanicocktail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="518" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-wtPN4OqJpZFvTc3lDPhte0psvIhdaAHvru-obGBDStIWFs56tqfZEvijldvqrfRW_kwoFSfvx-ywzl-ciPF6hvtUjYn8rspgxGoghYM1_nLscwVLUE4gGQWNFm1pUvVY-p3qrS6biNA/s640/chobanicocktail.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently on a fitness journey and doing a lot of weight and strength training </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So right now it's really important for me to pack plenty of protein into my diet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really appeals to me that Chobani yogurts actually contain TWICE the amount of protein than in a normal yogurt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chobani worked with the chefs and mixologists at The Corinthian to come up with a unique food and drinks menu where every course contained some of the Greek Yogurt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would have never considered adding yogurt to a cocktail but it really worked!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
infact it went down a bit too well! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a very meaty meal last weekend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to change things up a bit last night and go for the Vegetarian options on the menu</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the risotto to start which was lovely </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The yogurt gave it a really thick creamy texture </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and for someone who isn't a pea lover I polished off the lot! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I know I was slating polenta in my last post </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad I did </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was really lovely and perfectly set off by the Yogurt which acted as a sour cream dip for the polenta cake</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The peppery rocket and red pepper salad was a lovely finishing touch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For dessert I went for the Creme Brulee </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which had a gorgeous thick consistency </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the caramel gave it a lovely sweet flavour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a complete mess all over the table with the crumbly shortbread! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Can't take me anywhere)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually the only time I eat yogurt is with fresh berries for breakfast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I will definitely be trying to incorporate it into my meals more often </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially when I'm trying to increase my protein intake.</div>

Here are the two gorgeous ladies that made it happen </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christine and Amy were such lovely hostesses running around after us all night! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They both even have their own blogs </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warning! This post is for the Carnivores among you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Personally I don't think I could ever go Veggie, I like the principle behind it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I just love meat too much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Insert your own dirty joke here)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as I heard that MEAT bar had opened I knew I had to go ASAP</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Situated in West Regent Street I loved it as soon as I seen it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dazzling neon sign drew me in straight away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went downstairs to the basement bar, with its low ceilings and atmospheric lighting made for a really cosy setting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were seated right at the back of the bar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which was full of after work revellers many of whom were at the bar enjoying the vast cocktail list! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some of which actually contain meat...seriously!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately I couldn't try one as I'm taking part in Sober October </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but they certainly looked interesting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway on to the food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We skipped the starter and went straight for the mains </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgJ2lFI39s7-nAAEM5zDyi-mr97K014HlSk6bQ326lOHuLGfrmvum_SjoQGL24rUhD6ElD6KR5U3dMYa0BZZbNGt2GIdPMAPcqY0ij-WwdTVgzfJyPjjHjVxMxeUorVQ2vMHLrXOZmaRw/s1600/menu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgJ2lFI39s7-nAAEM5zDyi-mr97K014HlSk6bQ326lOHuLGfrmvum_SjoQGL24rUhD6ElD6KR5U3dMYa0BZZbNGt2GIdPMAPcqY0ij-WwdTVgzfJyPjjHjVxMxeUorVQ2vMHLrXOZmaRw/s640/menu.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew exactly what I was going for as soon as I seen it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
''The French Dip"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a side of Triple Cooked Chips </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0KTfJvBWBjgP1ZCkAn_estEyVKufrlgVD_rXf9z-Ehgstkj6XPqtt3S1KXyR3goWhsZtd6Jw2QkX-ZzdUzdlPRRaAUpVb7HGwjCO5sDhWi77Xvzw4UsJRtZiGUI9h6Zb00hVvWzn3j2A/s1600/Thefrenchdip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0KTfJvBWBjgP1ZCkAn_estEyVKufrlgVD_rXf9z-Ehgstkj6XPqtt3S1KXyR3goWhsZtd6Jw2QkX-ZzdUzdlPRRaAUpVb7HGwjCO5sDhWi77Xvzw4UsJRtZiGUI9h6Zb00hVvWzn3j2A/s640/Thefrenchdip.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to tackle this beast in two halves </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The brisket was so juicy and tender, the onion rings perfectly crispy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was delighted to find gherkins inside which are some of my absolute favourite things </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it was all set off perfectly by the Swiss cheese.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been trying my hardest to resist chips recently as I am an absolute carb fiend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I couldn't say no to triple cooked chips and I'm glad I never.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty sure Craig was scared to touch them in-case I bit his hand off !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seriously could not recommend this meal enough it was absolutely delicious </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEn5bwHs7SCeJiRDDTKuN2BTU7f2inSF8xUUAEa2LbBE4Zqj8ceGnlDF89bKsoM_5f9fm-Yb0e6TZhCX3VCp84UlOgYRz_16FiEQtTenXGUvX-Ua12dMweCaWx9xa-4vNmv7NSUselU4/s1600/meatplatter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEn5bwHs7SCeJiRDDTKuN2BTU7f2inSF8xUUAEa2LbBE4Zqj8ceGnlDF89bKsoM_5f9fm-Yb0e6TZhCX3VCp84UlOgYRz_16FiEQtTenXGUvX-Ua12dMweCaWx9xa-4vNmv7NSUselU4/s640/meatplatter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Craig "The protein king"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
opted for the Tasting Smoked Plate </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where he basically got to try a bit of everything from the smoker! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He must have enjoyed it because I hardly got a word out of him the whole time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I managed to sneak a little bit of pulled pork off his plate which was juicy and delicious</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and also a little bit of the chicken wing which had been marinated in some spice which definitely had a kick to it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuDGc9GRIhLVfD8QZfTRejDZUawKBRIcFyqITIKi8HMpATLkjoDZj_19R0cDl2LqUQFT1Iy225f5-L3XntFeOrWKwlk9cFupBaxY8dL0ydPZev157MNk3Oy5Dy1pGbD5Lfc1a-hNqoCOM/s1600/polentabricks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuDGc9GRIhLVfD8QZfTRejDZUawKBRIcFyqITIKi8HMpATLkjoDZj_19R0cDl2LqUQFT1Iy225f5-L3XntFeOrWKwlk9cFupBaxY8dL0ydPZev157MNk3Oy5Dy1pGbD5Lfc1a-hNqoCOM/s640/polentabricks.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He also ordered a side of Polenta Bricks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not a polenta lover purely because I don't really enjoy the grainy texture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but he said they were lovely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for the piece de resistance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DESSERT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrT1eqtEzP7DIZ07Knk3vGgwEooXCCRvomFVKz9affMjsWrGTKf8D9l1PW99Q9i0rQTfQkZYYqV6uaq1xAz4NXYgGknNqNNsDgDZ0Q09fhOoOH4zurtD_A4Y-cKEZOl45wEeSbGfYdCYk/s1600/peanutbuttershortbread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrT1eqtEzP7DIZ07Knk3vGgwEooXCCRvomFVKz9affMjsWrGTKf8D9l1PW99Q9i0rQTfQkZYYqV6uaq1xAz4NXYgGknNqNNsDgDZ0Q09fhOoOH4zurtD_A4Y-cKEZOl45wEeSbGfYdCYk/s640/peanutbuttershortbread.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peanut butter shortbread topped with salted caramel ice cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never heard such beautiful words in one sentence before!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a girl who will happily eat peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was unbelievably excited to see this on the menu</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Only made better by the fact that Craig hates peanuts and couldn't have any :) )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was without a doubt up there with the best desserts I've ever had.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I savoured every little mouthful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this lovely lot including soft drinks our bill came to just under £40</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which isn't bad at all considering how much we enjoyed it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
P.S There are Vegetarian options available on the menu so please don't feel like you can't pay them a visit if you are not a meat lover! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you been to MEAT yet?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anywhere else I have to try soon?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's that? I'm late to the party again?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeh yeh I know this has been about forever and everyone and their granny has tried it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but of course I am just getting around to it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not that I didn't know about this mascara </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd seen many a guru rave about it and it was always popping up on Tanya Burr's channel </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just had quite a few mascaras that I needed to use up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been getting a bit fed up of all the ones I had </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soap & Glory Thick n Fast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Loreal False Lash Telescopic </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had been floating around my makeup drawer for a while but neither of them were really doing it for me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided to finally pick this up and have a go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got to say I wish I had done it sooner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first opened it I was slightly sceptical about the wand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm quite picky when it comes to mascara</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like a brush not a comb and I like them to be straight and sturdy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when I seen the bend in this I wrote it off immediately</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turns out I was wrong </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*GASP*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually quite like the bend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes for a much quicker application and for some reason I feel like it makes the mascara hold my curl better</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It separates my lashes brilliantly and really adds thickness to them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think what I like most about this mascara is how nice it looks on my bottom lashes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was just about to buy the Clinique bottom lash mascara </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I think I'll just keep going with this just now! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have just finished Maybelline The Colossal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and have got to say I much prefer this! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will definitely be a repurchase.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on Thursday night I was invited along to TGI Fridays in Glasgow </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for a little party to celebrate them launching their new instagram @TGIFridaysUK</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and also a new range of their delicious cocktails!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normally I would be thrilled to be invited to an event that involved alcohol! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(not that im a drunk...) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month however my inner philanthropist has came out and I am participating in Sober October for Macmillan. So really this event couldn't have came at a worse time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tweeted TGI beforehand to explain my predicament and they assured me that their lovely bartenders could mix me up some delicious mocktails or smoothies! which was really nice of them! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I arranged to meet up with the lovely Melissa from <a href="http://www.stylish--kids.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stylish Kids</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for dinner before the event </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we went to Zizi's in Royal Exchange Square </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've not been to this branch before and I was seriously impressed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmXAApB2B6H2uo17Qj4kP1bkfiQsueaIhOXh_6mZLQwgUVYwUxdrPIj-PACe2AwkFRCuNvk8LW1UQK3CplVNLwg-FhnGZFigRNnwnCT5tkECfNywBRksfVH1y_X8bRQEjtoMf-My0HjiA/s1600/zizi.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmXAApB2B6H2uo17Qj4kP1bkfiQsueaIhOXh_6mZLQwgUVYwUxdrPIj-PACe2AwkFRCuNvk8LW1UQK3CplVNLwg-FhnGZFigRNnwnCT5tkECfNywBRksfVH1y_X8bRQEjtoMf-My0HjiA/s640/zizi.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's in such a beautiful building </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I was greeted with the worlds biggest pizza which was sooo good! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also noticed some 'skinny pizzas' on the menu if you are watching the lbs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which clearly I wasnt...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we arrived at TGIs we were given our pick of some delicious drinks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the non alcoholic Strawberry Fields which tasted like a daiquiri </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Melissa had a drink with Vodka and Amaretto which looked really lovely </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Us bloggers were sectioned off in our own little area to enjoy the fun activities that had been laid on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were some amazingly talented artists there, showcasing their talented with some cocktail themed masterpieces </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We could have a go at being artistic ourselves by painting our own shopping bags </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mine was actually embarrassingly bad so I won't share it with you! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could also have your nails painted </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However mine were in such a shocking state that I couldn't bring myself to go over and get them done </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Bad beauty blogger!!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had such a fab night and got to catch up with some lovely bloggy friends that I hadn't seen in such a long time! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you follow me on Instagram you may have seen I posted this pic last night! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(If you don't follow me and want to my username is @biggins89)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to have a bit of fun with some facepaint! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as you do on a Saturday night...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sugar skulls seem to be everywhere right now </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are actually associated with a Mexican holiday to celebrate the lives of friends and family that have passed away, but due to the intricate designs and bright colours they have become a popular costume idea!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can have so much fun with these </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using whichever colours you want and coming up with different designs </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also add glitter or jewels to make the design even more elaborate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see I went for a pink theme for mine and here's what I used and how I acheived this look </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a base I used </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>White Face paint - Snazaroo </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied it with a stippling brush and as it is quite thick I only needed one layer. Go over this with a white or translucent face powder to ensure it lasts all night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For all the black areas around the eyes, on the nose, and to create the teeth and cobwebs, I used</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Collection Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied this with a really thin eyeshadow brush</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You could also use black face paint to achieve this look but I think the eyeliner would have far better staying power if you are on a night out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the petal details around the eyes and the hearts on the chin I used</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>MUA Lipstick in Shade 3</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a really bright pink lipstick, I applied it using a lip brush for these areas </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I then put some on my cheek bones and temples to create some contouring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My pink bow is from American Apparel </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I think this would look really great with one of the flowery crowns that were at all the festivals this year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It would also look really good with a coloured wig! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHO0vGhF3ccH2iegpRSA7k15zLlsfkcp1XDjjDWisVPrbDF_2DHKtOoaVuzTV3gfOlwAmu3otmPrnYwoPj4luMVTLZ7bMKopz0-YKvFZQaGL4lI6tX5oZX35zOZz2AknvDp52OzCbv69U/s1600/sugarskull2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHO0vGhF3ccH2iegpRSA7k15zLlsfkcp1XDjjDWisVPrbDF_2DHKtOoaVuzTV3gfOlwAmu3otmPrnYwoPj4luMVTLZ7bMKopz0-YKvFZQaGL4lI6tX5oZX35zOZz2AknvDp52OzCbv69U/s640/sugarskull2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you liked this look! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know if you would like to see some other posts like this in the run up to Halloween!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are you all dressing up as this year?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My name is Jennifer and I'm a fake tan addict! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seriously nothing makes me feel happier healthier or skinnier than a bronzed glow on my skin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every Thursday night I go through my little fake tan ritual </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although it's a hassle at the time it's worth it in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Baby B Browne is a new fake tan to me. It was developed in 2011 by an Irish company </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They wanted to make a natural looking fake tan which didn't have that horrible biscuity smell we all know and love...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>What they say:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u><br /></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #fffeff; color: #606060; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">The Baby B. Browne range is designed to react with your individual skin pigment to create a natural looking colour that is specific to you. All products comes with a guide colour for an easy and streak-free application, dry quickly and create an instantly natural looking and long lasting tan. Our self-tanning lotion is infused with vanilla extracts to create a deliciously fresh fragrance whilst our professional spray tan solutions are fragrance free; with Baby B. Browne products the dreaded self-tan smell is eliminated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>What I say:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u><br /></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all I like the packaging, clean and simple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also like the fact that the pump swivels and locks rather than having a lid</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a habit of losing lids and the product ends up all over my drawer so the fact that this locks is great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a mitt to apply the tan and the guide colour helped as it's much easier to prevent streaking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I left the tan to develop overnight, although the instructions do say that you can wash it off after 4-8 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I can't believe I am actually about to say this but Baby B Browne </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DOESN'T SMELL LIKE FAKE TAN!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It actually has a pleasant smell! I didn't think it was possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is definitely a major selling point for me because I really do despise the normal fake tan smell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I will say is it doesn't dry extremely quickly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I only ever put fake tan on when I'm not thinking about leaving the house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so it's not a big problem, I just had to wait a little while before putting clothes on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I showered it off in the morning I was left with a really nice natural colour </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not too dark just a natural glow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The directions also state that if you want a deeper colour re-apply after 12-24 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied the lotion on Thursday, It's now Monday and I'm still really happy with the colour </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I think one application is enough for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really liked this tan </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a big fan of the colour and an even bigger fan of the smell!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was also completely streak free which is always a bonus </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So next Monday I revert back to my 17 year old self</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(which was longer ago than I care to remember)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After 8 years of full time employment I'm going to uni AHHHHH</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty sure it's going to take a while for my bank account to become used to being empty</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and for my liver to get used to the student way of life </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but as much as I'm pretty terrified about starting my degree I am really excited! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As of September 16th I will officially be a student nurse!<br />Part of me thinks I'm crazy going back to being a skint student after all this time </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I really think I'm far more ready for uni now than I was when I left school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have some life experience under my belt and have had time to think about what I really want to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I worked in pharmacy for a long time after leaving school </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I really enjoyed it I felt it was time for a change</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a job as a Clinical Support Worker in an Operating Theatre in a hospital</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically this means assisting in an operating theatre while surgery takes place</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This job is not for the faint hearted as it can get pretty gruesome </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I got to live out my Greys Anatomy fantasy for a while!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During my time in the hospital I decided that rather than being a nursing assistant </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really wanted to be a nurse myself! So I applied for university</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really didn't think I would get in as after years of mucking about in school my exam results were never great</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However because I am now a 'Mature Student'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Yuck I feel like I should have a blue rinse)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only do they look at your exam results but they also take into account your work experience </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't believe it when I got in! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have now officially finished work </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and am using this week to sort out supplies for uni!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which means stationary shopping!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8TToHmaVK930DIM7ZZoVkOmN1wZbMNdVcdItIw9qtUprcTChBwBi04m8AFL_kuTXXgVNU0IOj5HtGQW08U09IEJ9Cvry505_W9JW5OU1DZpuz2ZABXonG3Fp5_0rR7vdRKQROWaTr_dw/s1600/todolist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8TToHmaVK930DIM7ZZoVkOmN1wZbMNdVcdItIw9qtUprcTChBwBi04m8AFL_kuTXXgVNU0IOj5HtGQW08U09IEJ9Cvry505_W9JW5OU1DZpuz2ZABXonG3Fp5_0rR7vdRKQROWaTr_dw/s640/todolist.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I'm a bit clueless as to what I'm actually going to need for uni</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but there is something about stationary that makes me happy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I figure the more the better!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first stop was Wilkinsons</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I think it's also called Wilko in some places)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where they have some really nice stationary ranges in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and they are very reasonably priced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked some items from two of the ranges</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the first was Nostalgia </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this really cute magnetic To Do List Notebook (60p)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which I'm sure will come in handy as I'm really not the most organised person in the world </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also got this Lever Arch File (£1)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you noticed the recurring bird theme? lol </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last item I got from this collection was this Expanding File (£2.50)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little bird on the top left is almost exactly the same as my tattoo <3 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also picked up a few pieces from the Wilde Collection </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is this a bit morbid when studying nursing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well I like skulls </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ringbinder (75p)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next stop on my stationary quest was Rymans </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where these Pukka Pads were on a 3 for 2 offer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The large ones were £4.99 and the small one was £3.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last but not least is the beautiful academic diary from Paperchase </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which was £8 but had 20% off! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again with the birdies but it was to pretty to pass up!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So am I brave, stupid or a bit of both to be going to uni?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is anyone else starting uni this year?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
(How did that even happen)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However as usual I am extremely late at jumping on the bandwagon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only did I only get my August Glossybox this morning </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but this is my first ever beauty box subscription </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had thought about signing up for boxes before </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I had actually signed up for the Feel Unique one just before they stopped making them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love watching my favourite Youtube gurus opening their beauty boxes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and finally decided that I wanted in on the action </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then came the big desicion!<br />
which box should I sign up for?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are now quite a few to choose from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Beauteco Box - </b>Is a fairly new box that only launched in May and as I hadn't heard to much about it yet I was a little bit wary </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Birchbox - </b>Is the American brand that took over from Joliebox UK, I always watch EleventhGorgeous' Birchbox Vs Ipsy videos on Youtube and I'm never overly impressed with the Birchbox, I always absolutely love the <b>Ipsy Bags</b> but unfortunately they aren't available in the UK </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Glossybox - </b>Is a tried and trusted brand, I have watched plenty of unboxings and read countless reviews and have always been pleasantly surprised with the contents. I decided that Glossybox was the best fit for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I signed up online for £10 a month plus postage </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It came really quickly </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(2 days) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which I was impressed with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited when the postman came this morning </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was almost like getting a birthday present.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know some people would rather pick and choose what goes in their box</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I really love the element of surprise </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and would rather not know until it arrives at my doorstep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now onto the box! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really loved the packaging </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the box is really sturdy and I will definitely be using it for storage </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the contents are wrapped in pretty tissue paper and a nice ribbon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which just makes it seem really luxurious</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This months box has a 'Highflyer' theme</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all of the items are chosen from different countries around the world </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and are under 100ml so you can take them inflight </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little leaflet includes an interview with the newly appointed CEO of Glossybox UK </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as well as some information on each of the products included in the box </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Oceane (Brazil)</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Makeup remover pen</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a nifty little pen for correcting any mistakes you make whilst applying your makeup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it also comes with 3 refill nibs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like the concept of this as I ALWAYS sneeze after putting my mascara on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(does this happen to anyone else?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I really hope this lives up to my expectations </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Purity (USA)</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Cleanser </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recognised this brand as soon as I opened my box </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love trying new skincare so I'm excited to try this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It came in a 30ml bottle which isn't bad</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I like it I will definitely think about repurchasing as a £5 off voucher is included </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for use in Debenhams </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Emite Make Up (Sweden) </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Eyelash Curlers </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really excited to see these in my box as I actually really needed a new pair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My No.7 ones are a hot mess! As I have had them forever </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They also come with 3 extra pads which is really good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently these retail for around £20 which I am really impressed with as the whole box only costs £10!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Jelly Pong Pong (UK)</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2 in 1 Eyeliner & Shadow </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another brand I recognise </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eyeshadow pencils are EVERYWHERE right now! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually bought a few NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils online which I really like </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am really excited to try this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the colour I received and think it will go so well with my MAC Cranberry eyeshadow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Juicy Couture (USA)</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Viva La Juicy Noir Perfume </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love trying out new perfumes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I do tend to wait until Christmas and my Birthday to get new ones </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Samples like this are great to pop in your handbag for a night out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this one smells amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I know this months Glossybox hasn't had rave reviews from other bloggers but I'm really happy with what I received in my box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think 3 full size products for £10 is pretty good going and it will be good to try the samples!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait till Septembers box already!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What did you think of this months box?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you think I made the right decision going with Glossybox?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I spent a wonderful day at my cousin's wedding</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week I done a FOTD post with the makeup I was wearing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which you can see <a href="http://thebigburd.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/fotd-summer-coral-makeup.html" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today I thought I would show you my outfit </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dress (belt included) - Dorothy Perkins </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shoes - Koi Couture </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch - Michael Kors </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earrings - Avon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bag - New Look</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fascinator - Posh n Pretty </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Craig's Suit & Tie is from Next </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and his shirt is from Burtons </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it would be perfect for a summer wedding</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it was really comfortable!<br />
Weddings can be such long days so it really is important to wear something that you will feel comfortable in all day and night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love hats & fascinators and a wedding is one of the rare opportunities I get to wear them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However I had an absolute nightmare trying to find one that went with my outfit </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but after a bit of rooting around online I came across an amazing website</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.poshnpretty.co.uk/pages/home.htm" target="_blank">http://www.poshnpretty.co.uk</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2exAGrFUi35t_mRnTf7UgzDPBMiEdU7__9fCwL1vuRm9H_ScXinBacElYl5M7fvI3KLUsu-ihT3K17212moaI9cJE5E6CPm4yOTFQQxdCyI67oqJTKq85lsDfsrdB-1szTd5KRS6Kt7o/s1600/IMG_0888.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2exAGrFUi35t_mRnTf7UgzDPBMiEdU7__9fCwL1vuRm9H_ScXinBacElYl5M7fvI3KLUsu-ihT3K17212moaI9cJE5E6CPm4yOTFQQxdCyI67oqJTKq85lsDfsrdB-1szTd5KRS6Kt7o/s640/IMG_0888.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can basically pick whichever colours you need to match your outfit </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have a massive range to choose from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose Coral & Nude</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You then choose the style you want</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I opted for demure as I didn't want anything to over the top </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but there are some much more extravagant options if that's what appeals to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally you pick any finishings that you want</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose some little pearl detailing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then you choose your fixing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can have headbands, combs or clips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This custom made fascinator only cost me £12.50 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(plus p&p)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It arrived really quickly and the customer service was brilliant </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you need a piece at short notice they really try to get it done for you ASAP</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would definitely recommend ordering from here if you have a wedding coming up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll leave you with a few pics I took <br />
from the lovely day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello beauty lovers :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So apparently I'm going coral crazy at the moment!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love this colour for Summer and I'm always on the hunt for summery products </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little beaut is becoming a firm favourite in my makeup bag </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the whole lip stain trend isn't really a band wagon I have boarded so far</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find them a little intimidating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't like the thought of a shade being stuck to my lips all day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, I figured it would be nice not to have to reapply all day err day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This offering from YSL seems a little less scary to me as it is a gloss as well as a stain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always think that stains seem quite drying</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but this is the total opposite it leaves your lips glossy looking for hours </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYfT4-z6r_l6EoPYEnTDnwDcf15FnOwfvddrR1xjAVSVSu9bsLH-kHtg9dHn-3KV7CTCNen3v_u1_2vWLRLAsbPEKU6MyntZR9Cq7uEc8D4RRHudfK8osXktX8tFPvxP7cxarpCgHpDQ/s1600/YSL2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYfT4-z6r_l6EoPYEnTDnwDcf15FnOwfvddrR1xjAVSVSu9bsLH-kHtg9dHn-3KV7CTCNen3v_u1_2vWLRLAsbPEKU6MyntZR9Cq7uEc8D4RRHudfK8osXktX8tFPvxP7cxarpCgHpDQ/s640/YSL2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have shade 31 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Corail Alla Prima </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this colour </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it reminds me of watermelon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and is perfect for this time of year </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As ever YSL do not dissapoint with their packaging </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything looks so luxurious!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and nothing says luxury like gold does</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The applicator is thick with a pointed end </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It distributes just the right amount of product </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a little goes a long way </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I really love about this product is how buildable the colour is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One quick sweep and your left with a beautiful light coral lip </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apply some more product and you are left with a gorgeous vibrant colour </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing I don't like about this product?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I now want every shade!!<br />
Unfortunately my bank balance will not allow that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I definitely recommend treating yourself to one of these beauties on payday</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Guys :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for the lack of posts recently but I've been really unwell and have been in hospital </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Booo :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still not feeling great but I have my cousins wedding on Sunday and I have a gorgeous coral and nude outfit to wear so I thought I would try out a nice summery coral makeup look and share it with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All day weddings can be quite difficult as you want to look natural enough for daytime </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but still look dressed up for the evening reception</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always make sure I take a big enough bag to carry my makeup in for touch ups throughout the day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCyKLQ-YYGdEe8s9sDlFOnBI6jVCpsGEOzFsMjhesQxEfNGVtoASmbkU-QHI68JgP8sQLdnbnwEG6MQ2PksaMM9JoCCe_07c5EyhEg73OoxRGVs5nCV8SwDQIOvdRbRQcfXHbhn4DfGsE/s1600/IMG_0703.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCyKLQ-YYGdEe8s9sDlFOnBI6jVCpsGEOzFsMjhesQxEfNGVtoASmbkU-QHI68JgP8sQLdnbnwEG6MQ2PksaMM9JoCCe_07c5EyhEg73OoxRGVs5nCV8SwDQIOvdRbRQcfXHbhn4DfGsE/s640/IMG_0703.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most important thing about wedding makeup is that it has to last a LONG time </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So a good primer and setting powders are essential to keep you looking fresh all day and night </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will almost definitely add a pair of Eyelure falsies for the evening reception</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as my eyes feel naked without them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this is a really nice summery look for any occasion </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will do an OOTD post with my full outfit including my beautiful fascinator on Monday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really can't decide what to do with my hair though! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any suggestions?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello lovelies! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am currently writing this from my bed where I have been lying all day trying to recover from what was an absolutely amazing day yesterday at T in the Park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would share my experience with you </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and show you some of the outfits that my friends and I were wearing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all have quite different styles so hopefully you can take some inspiration for your own festival looks! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I am speaking from experience when I say that usually at TITP we are up to our eyeballs in mud </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it was very strange that the sun was shining for us! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still wasn't brave enough to go without wellies though! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The nice weather held up all day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and unusually for T there was no mud *yeaah*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so about half way through the day I changed into my pink sneaks and ditched the wellies </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still on my never ending quest to grow my own short, thin hair </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when I feel like adding some length and volume clip in extensions are the perfect solution</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been using them on and off for years </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and although you don't need to wash them often</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is one of these tasks that us poor girls have to do that is essentially a pain in the ass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I think I have finally mastered a quick and easy method of washing and drying them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully you will pick up a few tips! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here we go The Lazy Girls Guide to Washing and Drying your clip ins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before we start it's important to know what kind of extensions you have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not all extensions are suitable for washing or can be damaged easily with heat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most synthetic extensions will frazzle as soon as heat is applied so please make sure you know before you start that they are human hair or at least part human hair and are suitable for washing and styling!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now that you know your hair is fine to wash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are ready to go! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've found that this little trick seriously makes life sooo much easier when it comes to washing your extensions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead of washing each weft individually,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wrap your extensions together and secure with a hair tie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9wBP0MJRpCd_y53qbv0tBfwwy7G4t_jhrQRE298kqnRaaK37Lmu-8s6X1tK4CmZTiOqIF-iX_nGJGOU0Cf-CXrb-KBTDOUTCjPVLpOqMCwlLaTyX8nOp38hLs8sHWbHo0m4To6hlShKA/s1600/IMG_0582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9wBP0MJRpCd_y53qbv0tBfwwy7G4t_jhrQRE298kqnRaaK37Lmu-8s6X1tK4CmZTiOqIF-iX_nGJGOU0Cf-CXrb-KBTDOUTCjPVLpOqMCwlLaTyX8nOp38hLs8sHWbHo0m4To6hlShKA/s640/IMG_0582.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you are left with a long ponytail</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It takes much less time and effort to wash them like this </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and they are actually far less likely to get damaged as they are less fragile when they are all together </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rather than in individual strips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKdqg1f2dCnTeWd84xlqdpDdxMvWeqG9vF7Fjenb7BCdyJVNn9um2RTuDRauReL7bbBj0qjLFqcsF0dD9Q4BKvpPkXURN8klxgCrEHEvK_k7cBRHfAeqMI1bWBAv35NE1pZxzUzsZveoc/s1600/IMG_0583.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKdqg1f2dCnTeWd84xlqdpDdxMvWeqG9vF7Fjenb7BCdyJVNn9um2RTuDRauReL7bbBj0qjLFqcsF0dD9Q4BKvpPkXURN8klxgCrEHEvK_k7cBRHfAeqMI1bWBAv35NE1pZxzUzsZveoc/s640/IMG_0583.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now rinse the hair in warm water </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and pick whatever shampoo you like</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIXRHGXFVlWY_721S37fpKQKt8NTzfmkA2YxdYgDGVnmqohDmPyOkzEL-yF8k_tiN3ro5lExD0w37vcnOml-c9I6Lpc6X4u6AhcQCK6FP3PrbR2WN2htASSSNno2nHichvIl02KwV4R8A/s1600/IMG_0584.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIXRHGXFVlWY_721S37fpKQKt8NTzfmkA2YxdYgDGVnmqohDmPyOkzEL-yF8k_tiN3ro5lExD0w37vcnOml-c9I6Lpc6X4u6AhcQCK6FP3PrbR2WN2htASSSNno2nHichvIl02KwV4R8A/s640/IMG_0584.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went for Aussie Take The Heat Shampoo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
always try and massage the shampoo in from the top of the hair downward </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you start from the bottom and work your way up the hair will knot </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure you rinse out all the shampoo thoroughly </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You need to look after your extensions as you would your own hair </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I always like to put a conditioning treatment in mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxfiAz51zfsBxVyxHW7oD7dK77eyI7cSAZih9CyRrYpZirm6q9cTrIe2jGWKucQ_1wSdgpQDo7SrjoANnHcv7Qw-DYlXPny7oho_7F_xYIC4Aug_hyB6maHEJmXhYS3EJGEng3r3zEdg/s1600/IMG_0587.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxfiAz51zfsBxVyxHW7oD7dK77eyI7cSAZih9CyRrYpZirm6q9cTrIe2jGWKucQ_1wSdgpQDo7SrjoANnHcv7Qw-DYlXPny7oho_7F_xYIC4Aug_hyB6maHEJmXhYS3EJGEng3r3zEdg/s640/IMG_0587.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the lazy girls guide though </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So a 3 minute treat will do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went for the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Luscious Long Deep Treatment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the 3 minutes is up rinse all the conditioner out of the hair </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To keep your extensions looking as good as you can for as long as you can </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best way to dry them is to let them dry naturally</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Give them a quick towel dry, remember to be really gentle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I find that hanging the hair speeds up the drying process </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can hang them over a clothes horse or a radiator </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I have came up with something else </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7aF3wt_GuCGzguZUzYvdL3kgV5HKH2ZP2AjjT0H31Kd9-r9aFRVVIFj79n2QRIrQYFGHn0sRoFbA-rmhXT-gLedHdL88tcsz3mf7cOr_71IpDahIzML-QbmH58dmnBXDICnMeL_-uO3w/s1600/hanger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7aF3wt_GuCGzguZUzYvdL3kgV5HKH2ZP2AjjT0H31Kd9-r9aFRVVIFj79n2QRIrQYFGHn0sRoFbA-rmhXT-gLedHdL88tcsz3mf7cOr_71IpDahIzML-QbmH58dmnBXDICnMeL_-uO3w/s640/hanger.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I know this might seem a little bit strange</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and maybe avoid doing it if you are expecting guests</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(because they will almost definitely think you are a weirdo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but if you get a trouser hanger and put the wefts through the middle </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is a really good way to let your extensions air dry </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhktNMjWViKQdCvv8U1SXZRxr0Gob5EjSZ2g1ku5yi2O6cTYI2kyroeINKAgA1AD1Ij5cIALtEhrNMEAIl-0cpVl5g7SVPLjxPp-l3WRB8egItEd2x3CRXZP4R1ntp4B1YRYgTp7jP1j64/s1600/IMG_0590.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhktNMjWViKQdCvv8U1SXZRxr0Gob5EjSZ2g1ku5yi2O6cTYI2kyroeINKAgA1AD1Ij5cIALtEhrNMEAIl-0cpVl5g7SVPLjxPp-l3WRB8egItEd2x3CRXZP4R1ntp4B1YRYgTp7jP1j64/s640/IMG_0590.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You might need more than one hanger depending how many wefts you have </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just hang them on a door handle and leave until dry </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing to remember</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
most human hair extensions will dry with a wave in them </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
personally I like mine to be straight when I first wash them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once my extensions are around 80% dry </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to give them a quick blow dry to give them a sleek, finished look </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now unless you are a magician or have three hands </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you will find it extremely awkward and difficult to blow dry them properly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as you really need one hand to hold the weft, one to hold a brush, and one to hold the hair dryer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got a tool that makes this process loads easier</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHUJur8vvZzpMLt_1RrEpN3x2W-BbCbJtddiz3kQtF_mp0l04X3b-JH2ASiFYANHQ_FITgenIWZq6Se5do_lqierDrGUDSMpQgu7mCokjq-1XqTeyzfojFAAD835UjE2UMxZB0lvY386o/s1600/bighair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHUJur8vvZzpMLt_1RrEpN3x2W-BbCbJtddiz3kQtF_mp0l04X3b-JH2ASiFYANHQ_FITgenIWZq6Se5do_lqierDrGUDSMpQgu7mCokjq-1XqTeyzfojFAAD835UjE2UMxZB0lvY386o/s640/bighair.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Babyliss Big Hair is a rotating brush that blows out hot air </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using this means you are able to blowdry and brush the hair with one hand </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
leaving your other hand free to hold the weft</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As you would with your own hair you should always apply a heat protectant to the hair </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before using a hot styling tool </div>

I love the feeling of my extensions when they are just washed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just make sure you don't do it too often </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as over washing and styling can cause breaking and fall out!</div>

Enjoy the rest of your weekend lovelies </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last summer I entered a competition run by <a href="http://www.travelsupermarket.com/default.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Travelsupermarket</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
called Beauty and the Beach, It was the first competition I had ever entered on my blog and had so much fun doing it that when they approached me about it this year I couldn't say no. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially when I found out that the judges were some of my favourite bloggers! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to go with the other option this year which is a new competition called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Worldwide Wardrobe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The idea is, you have to create a look for specific destinations and activities all over the globe,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using a budget of £200. I must say I am a bit of a bargain hunter so the budget wasn't a problem for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The winner of the competition wins £200 to buy their chosen outfit AND a holiday to that destination</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have got everything crossed as I would love to go on holiday this year.</div>

First up is the party island Ibiza! This is one of my favourite places in the world, it is such an eclectic mix of people and fashion. When I say anything goes, I mean it! Clubbing in Ibiza is your chance to be as loud and daring as you want with your outfit, which is why I picked this AMAZING bodysuit by Staysick. I'm all for supporting local designers, and this range was actually designed by a girl I know. You could totally get away with wearing it on it's own in an Ibiza nightclub, but I'm not quite that daring so I would pair it with a pair of customised vintage Levi shorts.<br />
Now I wouldn't normally wear trainers clubbing in the UK but believe me, turn up to a club in Ibiza wearing heels and be prepared to feel very uncomfortable. These clubs are open till 6am! you don't want to go back to your hotel early because you made the wrong footwear choice! These Nike Blazers will help you to dance all night - pain free.<br />
Finish the look of with some stacked neon bracelets and your ready to hit the clubs!<br />

Cocktails in the city that never sleeps is definitely something that is on my bucket list.<br />
If I want to pretend to be a New York fashionista I need a powerhouse outfit!<br />
I'm really loving the masculine looks that are out just now.<br />
This is a tailored look with a feminine edge. The cigarette style trousers would really flatter my long legs and the signature Zara sandal would give the look an elegant feel.<br />
What better way to look fabulous on a budget than wearing a designer replica vest. This is an absolute steal at £10<br />
Wear it under a this gorgeous ROMWE fitted blazer and no-one will know you haven't paid top dollar for it.<br />
Finish the look off with a pop of colour in the form of this statement necklace from New look and of course no New York outfit would be complete without a Cosmo in hand<br />

Paris - The most romantic city in the world. It is somewhere I have never visited but if I did, there are so many things I would love to see! which is why I have went for both a stylish and comfortable outfit.<br />
This gorgeous dress from Jaeger (boutique) screams Paris! OK, horizontal stripes in France might be a little cliche but who the hell cares. If I'm going to Paris I'm dressing as Parisian as possible.<br />
I love this dropped waist style.<br />
If you are wandering the streets of the city all day you are going to want comfortable shoes. These gorgeous leather shoes from OFFICE are just that, and they are on sale right now so are an absolute bargain.<br />
They would also go perfectly with this gorgeous over the shoulder satchel, which is the perfect size to store your camera in, to ensure you don't miss the opportunity to snap the beautiful sights.<br />
A pair of cat eye sunglasses will keep you looking cool on a beautiful French summers day<br />
and a slick of RiRi Woo on your lips will brighten up the whole outfit!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been using the same tweezers for as long as I could remember</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty sure they were a No7 pair but they were so old that the brand had rubbed off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had not been happy with them for a while as they were so sharp that my poor brow area resembled a pin cushion every time I used them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided it was time to invest in a new pair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This gorgeous little pair from la-tweez caught my eye straight away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are available in a few different colours but I preferred the white.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are perfectly angled without being too sharp!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They also have some distinguishing features which set them apart from other brands</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The main thing that got my attention was this small but mighty LED light.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect for picking up those pesky stray hairs which I always manage to miss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also the on/off button is a tiny Swarovski crystal! Uh-Mazing </div>
