It's Not About What You Look Like

I don't tend to write or speak out loud about many issues, but it is something that I want to start doing and what better time than the new year. I have wrote, deleted and rewrote this introduction so many times but I think the best way is to just go for it. 

My whole life I have always been the minority, different religion, race and colour. Has it ever bothered me? No. Does it stop me from me being me? No. But it is so hurtful when you see people using things like this against you or other people of a different race. I love watching Deepica Mutyala on YouTube, she is such a great and positive women who spreads love and joy (and who is killing it at the moment!!!) This post is inspired by her xx

Currently Loving #1

I have made it a personal point this to do more favourites post, not sure how long they will last or if I will even have things to talk to about but here is my written commitment. Sometimes they might all be beauty, sometimes a little bit of everything but hopefully it gives me a chance to share everything that I am loving that moment in time. This month I have more lifestyle favourites then everything else, I have so many things that I am trying at the moment - its hard to choose just a few things! 

Long Lasting Everyday Makeup

There is one thing that I aim to get out of my everyday makeup, it needs to be a) long lasting b) look full coverage to an extent c) control oil and shine and d) be comfortable to wear and not heavy. I have been wearing the exact same face for a while now and I thought about sharing it on here to talk you through how I achieve a long lasting, flawless face - this whole looks takes me no more than 10 minutes on a good day and 20 minutes on a bad! We all faff a little in the morning - the best thing about this look is that I can apply it at 7 in the morning and it will still be intact at around 7 at night. 

Women’s Watches: How to Shop for Unique Timepieces this Valentine’s Day

A watch for me is such a timeless piece (no pun intended), it goes with anything that I wear and always looks beautiful. I have a very small collection of them that get rotated depending on the occasion and outfit that I am wearing, it feels very 'adult' like to have a few watches but it really is something that makes me feel and look the part. JORD Wood Watches are the perfect accessory to add into your everyday or even evening wardrobe as they add a touch of class and style.

At Home Gel Nails with Pink Gellac

Getting my nails done and doing them has always been a hobby of mine. For the past year I have been getting acrylics but for a few months this year I want to give them a break and look at ways of making them stronger but still look pretty. The lovely people over at Pink Gellac* kindly gifted me their at home kit and since having it, I have been obsessed with it and I am sure it will getting a lot of use over this year.
