Life Update

Happy Sunday Beauties!

It's been a while since I've done one of these kinds of posts, I used to really enjoy writing them. As I usually post on a Wednesday, Friday and Sunday I figured I would try and do one now and again. My Word of the Week posts (WOTW) are really important to me, I like to share my faith as its who I am. Even if not everyone necessarily agrees. So I've decided to sit down get a brew and have a good old chat with you. Looking back over the last month or so, to let you know what I've been up to and what I've been thinking about.

Essentials For My Gym Bag

As I've been at the gym so much lately, when I'm there I always take a bag and apart from the obvious water, sweat towel and gym lock there are so many other items I always have handy. Here are just some of the bits that I like to have in my gym bag, and why I feel like I need to have these.

When it comes to hunger, I am terrible for feeling super peckish and I am so tempted to reach for something easy like chocolate or crisps. So I like to have a healthy treat in my gym bag for when I'm out and about or when I first come out of the gym. Instead of eating bad stuff I usually have something full of protein like a shake or protein chia bar.

Lush Golden Handshake Review

I have been wanting to write about this product for such a long time, it has been sat by my bed  just waiting to be used. I finally got a chance to do it and my hands are definitely thanking me for it. So here are my thoughts on it!

I first popped into Lush just to get my usual Henna block to dye my hair. As usual I ended up wandering around the shop and spending half my wage. I find it impossible to just go in Lush for one thing without having a good look around. So when I spotted this little beauty near the hand creams, I snapped it up. Its the Lush Golden Handshake, which I picked up for only £2.95. I thought that was  a great price for such a good product. The Lush hand creams are great so since my hands have been really suffering this winter, I figured I may as well give it a try.

February Favourites

 As March is now upon us already (how scary is that), I figured now would be a good time to do my February favourites for last month. I've been using so many things this month that it may be a long one. So grab a cuppa and sit back and get ready for a good read.

Spring Wishlist

Spring is upon us and with so many cute items on the high street I couldn't not do a wishlist of all of those little beauties. So here are some of the picks that I have spotted whilst looking online and in stores too. With winter and autumn being my favourite seasons I'm not overly keen on it getting warmer. I love the colder months but I am also still looking forward to spring/summer. I love watching the seasons change, the gorgeous colours of spring and also it's my birthday in spring!

So here are all the lovely items I've been drooling over!

25 Things That Make Me Happy!

Whilst looking through some of my favourite blogs, I came across this post and I decided I would do my version. I love writing lists and this one just suited my mood at the moment. I got this from the lovely Steph over at Hello, Steph. Go over and check her blog out, give her a follow you won't regret it!

I know that its so easy to be miserable in todays world, all you have to do is look at the news or a paper and see the horrible things going on today. This post is all about appreciating the little things that make you happy in your day to day life. Sometimes the most simple nice things can happen, and it can make such a difference to your day. When you are nice to someone also it can do wonders for them, you can be so much happier all day long. Do a good deed and see for yourself.

I've decided to start with 25, then do another 25 in another post. So here we go!

How To Edit Your Blog Photos

Today I wanted to share a bit of a useful post. As we had a chat on Twitter not long ago about how we edit and change blog pictures, I thought I would share with you a few tips on how I edit mine and what I use. I will also be doing one of these for Instagram in the future to so watch this space if you want to see that.

I am currently using PicMonkey. I am yet to find another website which is as user friendly, and works better for me than this one. Here are the options I use and why.

When you open PicMonkey, this is the screen you will be greeted with. You can Edit, Touch Up, Design or even make a Collage. I usually head straight for the Edit Tab. I rarely use the others, other than Collage for my YouTube Thumbnails.

How To Have A Pamper Evening At Home

Sometimes there is nothing better when your feeling a bit tired or maybe even down in the dumps, than a good old pamper evening. Whether you live alone or with someone else, sometimes its good to just take some time out for yourself and give yourself a good old treat. So I thought I would write a post on my top tips and suggestions for a pamper night. If you've never done one for yourself before and are wondering what to use then look no further.

Every girl deserves a good pamper. I haven't been my best for the last week and a half, I've had tonsillitis and cold and flu. Now a lovely viral rash to finish it off nicely. So tonight I will be getting all of my favourite products together and taking care of me for a change.

How To Be #WomanKind

Do you ever feel like sometimes as a woman you can be kinder to others than yourself. Sometimes we can put ourselves down and say things about ourselves, which we would never dream of saying to others. You are not at all alone in this.

Why I Love Adult Colouring Books

Today I'm going to show off my lovely colouring books that I have bought recently. These have become seriously popular lately, and I have a few myself. So I thought I would show you which ones I picked up.
