I'm a Glossy Girl.

Hi everyone!

Ages ago I applied to write for Glossy Finds and to be honest with you I had forgotten all about it because I hadn't heard anything back, however last weekend I had an email from Glossy Finds asking me to pitch a few story ideas for February. Long story short, they really liked the ideas I had pitched and so now I am writing for them - I'm a Glossy Girl!

I am so excited about this and proud of little me, I have already written my first story which will be published at the start of February and I am now getting started on my next story! Plus, I've got my second badge, I will keep you updated as I progress through the badges.

If you don't know what Glossy Finds is, it's a website that seeks out bloggers or anyone that has an interest in writing about everything hair, beauty and lifestyle and publish their stories which gives the blogger more credit as a writer and also more exposure for their own blog.

Like I said, I have finished writing my first story and sent it off and it will be published on their website on 4th February. I will be reminding you guys so don't worry, whenever my stories are posted I will link it here on my blog so that you don't miss out and get to read it too.

I hope you will enjoy reading my posts over on Glossy Finds just as much as I will enjoy writing them.

Let me know what you think.

TUTORIAL: Waves with a Straightener.

Hi everyone!

This hairstyle is so quick and simple to do, it takes me about 15 minutes, but I do have a feeling that trying to explain it to you will be more of a challenge, especially as I am not the best at explaining things at the best of times. Let's see how it goes.

The title says waves, which this look is, however it's more of a big crimp - you will see what I mean once we get into the tutorial, perfect if you're having a bit of a drab hair day or you're on second day and you just don't know what to do with it. Styling your hair this way with a straightener creates volume and lift at the roots, so it puts a bit more oomph into bad hair days!

REVIEW: MUA Blusher - Candyfloss

 Hi everyone!

I have been looking for a blusher for absolutely ages but I could never seem to find the right shade and I really didn't want to be spending a load of money, in case it turned out to be the wrong shade for my skin tone. I am always so careful with blushers, the last thing I want to do is buy a blusher that makes me look like some sort of rag doll - not attractive!

So while I was out in the January sales (click here to read my Haul), I picked up this MUA Blusher in the shade Candyfloss for £1 - that's right ladies A POUND - from Superdrug.

FOTD: Minimal & Simple.

Happy Friday everyone!

I haven't published a FOTD for a few weeks - bad blogger points!

If you read my most recent blog post about my week away from make up then you may know that I managed to get my skin looking the best it's looked in a long time by not wearing make up for a week and doing a few other things that helped my skin look healthier.

Seeing as my skin is looking much clearer and I have no spots - at the moment - I decided that wearing foundation was just pointless, I wanted to continue to give my skin a bit of a break and flaunt my almost flawless skin - I saw almost because nothing is ever perfect. I have gone for a very minimal look that is so simple to create and I actually quite like it.

A Week Away From Make Up.

Hey guys!

Over the past week I have been quite poorly with a horrible kidney infection, which has meant that I have spent a week at home, in my pyjamas and not going outside the house at all - apart from a trip to the doctors. Thankfully it has gone now and I am much better, so back to reality.

But spending a week at home, has meant that I haven't put a single bit of make up on, so as the title says I have had a week off the make up. It's very rare that I go that long without putting any make up on at all, it's usually just a couple of days if I am spending a weekend at home.

Not using make up for a week definitely has had it's benefits on my skin, amongst doing other things, I have noticed a visible difference in my skin due to the things that I did throughout the week - the fact that my skin is in better condition was all a bit of a happy accident.

HAUL: January Sales.

Hi everyone!

Now that all of the craziness of Christmas has gone, my Mum, my Sister and I decided we would go shopping and have a nosey in the January sales to spend some of our Christmas money. 

As usual I didn't find a lot, why is it when you have money to spend you don't find much you like but when you haven't got money to treat yourself you could quite easily walk into a shop and buy everything? - So frustrating!

What I Got For Christmas 2014

Hi everyone!

I have probably already said this - or something along the same lines - but I can't quite get my head around the fact that Christmas has gone, it's over! There is such a build up to the one day and it's over before you know it. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and you got some lovely gifts.

I have been really enjoying reading other people's 'what I got for Christmas' posts, mainly because I am a super nosy person. They seem quite popular, so I thought that I would join in too.

First of all I just want to mention that this post is not intended to be me bragging or anything like that, I am very grateful for what my friends and family have given me, this post is just for all you nosey parkers like me!

December Favourites

Hi everyone and welcome to 2015!

I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and New Year, I can't believe how quickly 2014 has come and gone, and I trust that you over indulged just as much as I did, it has to be done at this time of year really doesn't it?

Here are a few things I have been enjoying during December and over the festive season, there isn't much in this month's favourites, only because I haven't found or tried anything new. But I am sure that will change after I have spent some time trying out my Christmas gifts.
