Hi peeps!!  So it's now Christmas Eve and I just can't get my head around the fact that it is this date of the year!! I apologise for the lack of posts recently but here we are in this new post. I hope you're all getting really excited for Christmas Day tomorrow as I know that I am?! This year is so much more special for me and this is because Ciara is now in my life and she's the one precious little girl that I can love and spoil which excites me and makes me so happy. She's now 10 months old.  Anyway this post is actually about a new beauty product that I treated myself to, today. It's the new Benefit Kissy Missy Lip Kit. On first impressions, I feel that my opinions on it are mixed. I do hope that all of my opinions change as I get used to the products.    In the kit you get; 2 mini They're Real! Double the lip - revved up red. Pink Thrills.  2 mini Benetints which match the lipsticks.  I absolutely love the packaging that this kit comes i...

Hey peeps! So it's the 14th December already?! Christmas is looming by pretty quick and everything is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Today; me, my parents, sister and my niece met at The Abbey House Hotel, in the Oscars Restaurant/Bar for lunch.  For anyone who isn't local and is wondering where this place is then let me tell you a little about it. The Abbey House Hotel is located in a small town called Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria within the Lakea District Peninsula. It's a luxurious hotel with 14 acres of  landscaped grounds. It was originally built for the local shipyard, during the 1910s.  There was a good selection on the menu which was good for me. I'm sure if you have special dietery needs then they would easily be adaptable for you. I decided to go for the Beef Brisket in a Pitta Pocket that is served with vegetable crisps and salad. It does usually come with homemade pickle but as I was unsure of whether I'd like it or not, I asked for it to b...

Hey peeps!! How are you all doing? How's the festive season treating you so far? Good, I hope! If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel, you will have seen that I've been doing the vlogmas series on there.  This year I have decided to catch all of my footage using my mobile phone rather than using my camera and then having to upload onto my laptop to edit before publishing it on YouTube, so it's much easier doing it on my phone. I don't have to worry about taking my camera everywhere and can be a bit more discreet for when I'm out in public, ha ha! I've found some apps to do the editing for me which are 'InShot' which is free (if I remember rightly). This is fairly easy to navigate although pretty basic but it does what you need it to do.  There has been one or two vlogmas days where I've had to put together like two days worth of footage as I wasn't able to get enough footage but hopefully you'll understand this.  I think now t...

Hey peeps!  So today I ended up with doing a 'day look' for my makeup as any plans that we may have had weren't finalised in time and we stayed in at home. I had a wonderful afternoon as my sister and baby niece came to visit 😍  I decided I wanted to create a natural look with my eyes so I used the Benefits COSMETICS Most Glamorous Nudes eye palette. The shades I used in this were; Birthday Suit, Call My Bluff,  0Its Complicated, Kiss Me I'm Tipsy and a little dab of Gilt-y Pleasures. My eyeliner that I used was Avon Kohl liner in the Black shade. Whether I wear eyeshadow or not, I always wear eyeliner. The rest of my makeup tends to be my typical look so I won't repeat myself from my last makeup blog post 😉 I did apply my new New Look lip liner with the New Look Americano lipstick. I do really like like the New Look range, especially for every day looks.  I'm sorry that I haven't gone into too much detail but as I said above, I don't wa...

Hey peeps! I hope you all had a great weekend and that the start of the week has been positive for you?! Mine was alright and a little busy but surrounded by some of my lovely family, couldn't ask for anything better. Today I made some homemade soup which is perfect for the winter and is comforting. Obviously I had a little assistance but it was following my recipe. I feel like my soups improve every time I make them but I think it's good that they get better as it shows you're learning and gaining more experience. Ingredients; Approximately 1 cup full of diced carrots and swede. (Change the quantity to what you want it to be to suit your needs. It was only me that was eating the soup). 1 and a 1/2 tablespoons of mixed herbs. 1 teaspoon of ginger. 1 teaspoon of Asian salt and pepper mix (change according to your own taste). 1 stick of celery. Approximately 500ml of boiling water with 1 chicken stock portion. 2 cloves of garlic (change to your pref...

Hi peeps!! So here I am trying to be more 'with it' referring to a modern way of living by adding the new IFTTT and here's me trying it out right now, yes now as we speak.  It's rather interesting to see how you can interlink all of your apps and discovering new ways of living for example stuff that's to do with your home or your work. I must say thank you to my whizz kid of a cousin, Lee who often educates me on new tech and offers his advice re: on my vlogs etc.  Anyway that's enough from me for now and I shall see you all soon xxx

Hey peeps!! Over the last few nights, I've been struggling to find a way to keep my phone the way I want it to be so I can watch videos on YouTube extra without it falling over every time I move position. Then last night, I had a brainwave and decided to have a look around for a arm bracket thing to clip onto my headboard. Much to my surprise I didn't have to search far for what I was looking for! In my local indoor market to be exact. In the photos below you can see the arm bracket gadget being used straight away when I got home. One end clips onto my headboard and the other holds the phone. You can manipulate the arm to whatever position you want it in that is best for you. I chose the black but you can get it in white, whichever you prefer and it only cost me £5. This will be brilliant for me! Especially on the nights where I struggle to get to sleep and I can't get out of bed so I'll be able to watch YouTube videos and anything on my other apps. L...
