#StayFitDontQuit with Get The Label

I've gone and done it again. Been away for too long and been major busy and forgot all about my blog. Well I didn't exactly forget, I just don't get a lot of time nowadays. Nevertheless I am here, and with autumn upon us I have lots of posts and videos planned for the up coming months. I will be here and you will not get rid of me. I absolutely love autumn and winter, so with all the snuggly-ness soon to come, my creative juices have been well and truly flowing.

So here I am with my next exciting post. You may of heard of some other bloggers getting involved with Get The Label and in the #StayFitDontQuit campaign. I got involved along with some others and was super excited because this is right up my street.

At the moment I'm getting ready for my honeymoon and I've been keen to stay fit and healthy, so this was perfect for me.

I was offered either a chance to try Bikram Yoga for 30 days or a Spinning Class for the same time. I chose Bikram Yoga as I'd heard it was really good. Boy was I in for a treat. Bikram Yoga is the original hot yoga, put together by Bikram Choudry himself. The room is around 105•F which is around 40•C. Not only does this come with great benefits for the body and skin, but the mind too. The class is 90 minutes, 26 yoga positions and hard work! But I loved it, and I feel great for it. So much so I'm tempted to join full time.

I was also kindly offered some attire for the occasion, in which I decided to choose a loose fit top and some trainers. Little did I realise that Bikram Yoga is practised bare foot, so I had no use for them in the end. But my new trainers have come in very useful at the gym thats for sure.

July Favourites/Empties

Okay so I know I'm a little late for this post, but I have had problems with cameras and other things. So I'm sorry this is a little late, but its finally here. My favourites and empties post from July. These are the things I loved last month and also the things I have used up. Some of these bottles are empty!

First of all I bought these new shampoo and conditioners by Tresemme last month and I love them so much. I've been on a spending ban recently, and therefore using up all of the things I already have before I buy more. So these are almost empty now, as I love them sooooo much. Not even exaggerating. These are the Tresemme Perfectly Undone Shampoo & Conditioner. These are silicone free and enriched with Sea Kelp extract which is great for perfectly undone hair, with mermaid tendencies. I love how this makes my hair feel, I only wash my hair once maybe twice a week (or try to). So when I use this its a real treat for my locks. I've been trying to grow my hair too, and it feels in such better condition recently. I think it may have something to do with these.

Summer Date Outfit with Weddington Way

Today I wanted to share with you a kind of outfit post with a twist. I was contacted by the lovely people at Weddington Way - a San Francisco based Wedding & Accessories on line store. I was asked to use one of their dresses to make a fun summer date outfit. I love doing these kinds of posts, imagining what I would wear, how I would accessorise etc. Right down to the makeup and nail polish I would use.

So today I thought I would share what I would wear and how I might style it for a lovely evening out with the hubby.

Share the Love #2 ♥

Welcome to the second edition of my newest weekly post - share the love. I wanted to start this post to share the things that I have been loving this week. The things that have made me happy. The internet and social media can be full of so many negative things lately, I just wanted to add some positivity instead of constant shaming. Enjoy!

My Summer Playlist ♥

Despite the fact we haven't actually seen a lot of summer or sunshine for that matter, I have been gathering up some of my favourite music on Spotify. I thought I would share with you all the music I've been loving and listening to over the summer. Maybe you will enjoy some of them, or even download some yourself.

Enjoy!

Monthly Favourite Love - August ♥

Since having a major blog burnout and almost contemplating not coming back to blogging at all, I've been looking for inspiration. One of the things people kept telling me to do was look over some of my favourite bloggers and see why I like them so much. Obviously never to copy but just to get that passion and love for my blog back. It has completely worked, it has helped me realise why I love blogging in the first place and helped me to get some ideas back!

So I thought I would share a new post that I'll be doing at least once a month - that is my monthly favourite bloggers. I will just be going over some of my favourite bloggers this month that have really helped me to get my love for blogging back, whilst also giving me plenty of inspiration.

Share the Love #1 ♥

So I have been suffering from major blogging block lately, it seems like since I took a break for a few months I couldn't get back into the swing of things. So lately I've been getting some inspiration from pinterest and looking over other blogs to try and get my mojo back. I started looking back over old posts of mine and found one that I used to do weekly. I forgot all about it and so I thought I'd bring it back in. It used to be called Like, Love & Loathe. I got the idea from another blogger but I can't remember who it was (sorry).

Current Face ♥

Today I thought I would share with all you lovelies my current face, what I've been using lately. So this is my daily make-up and what I have been using for a while now. I will be doing an updated youtube video about my current daily face using these products soon. So make sure your subscribed to my channel to see that!
