Happy new year to you all, hope you had a good Christmas and over-indulged yourselves as you should at that time of year! As we all know, I'm not the most active of bloggers but this was a spontaneous moment where I was actually motivated to kick my mind into gear and write something! As of this time of year, everyone has set themselves a billion new resolutions which they are aiming to accomplish in this year. Whether they give up on their first week or manage the whole year, it's really up to the individual. Which is why this year I am aiming to set myself some goals in which I hope for the first time to actually achieve.     Normally people try to set ridiculous and unattainable goals but I thought that slow and steady will win the race. I have hit the point where, although I have been confident in my not so normal sized skin, I think it would be an idea for me to try and improve my skin meaning that I would be completely confident and able to embrace the body I have!...

This past year has really been the point where I have began to think more about how I chose my personal style and what I'm really interested in when it comes to what I'm going to have in my wardrobe. Fashion "trends" can change as fast as a click of a designer's finger. Whether they completely revamp their ideas, or even just a simple change of colour, be sure that everyone who's following them will know. Now, just to make this clear. I don't know all the ins and outs of fashion, I'm sure by now that is pretty obvious. However, the reason I write these kind of posts is because I think that in doing so, I get to research and pass on what I have found, maybe even what I have tried and things I've liked etc. In keeping with that idea, here are my Autumn / Winter 2016 thoughts... Firstly, everyone has their own fashion vice... Whether it be having a humongous hoard of heeled boots, a colossal collection of coats and jackets or a vast array of V...

In amongst my rather busy working life, I thought I'd take the time to sit down and share my (what should have just been June but is now ran into July) favourites. I never really think about these things on a day to day basis, so why not take the time to do it now.     When it comes to makeup, I'm not the sort of girl who will spend a ridiculous amount of money just for a brand name on a product. Personally, the cheaper the better and that stands true in this case. I discovered this brand on Amazon a few months ago, and I love it. LaRoc is a beauty company which sells everything from eye palettes with 120 various shades to brushes to organisers. I currently own two eyeshadow palettes (summer and neutral shades), a blush palette and a contour kit. What I think I love most is that the quality is really good for only costing £4.99.           As you may have seen, there has started to become a trend of pin badges and iron on patches coming b...

When it comes to summer, everyone always has the same thoughts going through their head... "Bring on the tanning weather!" , "I'm going on holiday very soon!" but the most prominent thought is "Am I summer ready?" Now, when we say being "summer ready", it can mean different things to different people. To some, it's an ideal weight or body shape being achieved so they can look their best, and to others it means having that perfect wardrobe to cope with whatever summer weather throws at them.    In my opinion, being "summer ready" means that you are at a point where being comfortable in your own skin is your main priority, no matter what society pushes in your face. If you're happy, then that's all that matters. If you're a size 8 and happy, then that's great. The same goes for if you're a size 28 and happy. Your size doesn't define how ready you are for summer!      Because of body positivity, ev...
