Wish List - February

Every month I'm going to do a wish list of a few items I've got my eye on to purchase. Here are the things currently in the crosshairs...

Topshop Makeup Picks

I love Topshop! My mantra has always been "Shopping is my religion, Topshop is my church. I spend an unholy (pun intended) amount in Topshop and when they released their make up collection a few years ago I was in heaven!

Getting back on the style wagon...

Is it just me or do the winter months slower pull you into a routine of comfy jeans and jumpers?
Don't get me wrong, jeans and jumpers are a great combo but I feel like I'm wearing the same boots, jeans and combinations of pull overs all the time and along with my hair really needing an overhaul (do I go blonde or stay brunette?) I feel like a right slob and I'm in a complete style rut... :(

My Orlando Adventure 2014

I've been wanted to write about my adventure in Orlando, Florida for ages! Last year I finally went on the trip of a lifetime I've always wanted to, me and my brother decided to finally go to Universal Studios!

Lush Picks

While passing Lush the other day I popped in to top up on my favourite items! The ones I continually go back to buy. I thought I would share my top 3 with you:

MAC Superslick Eyeliner VS. Topshop Liner

I must have tried hundreds of different eyeliners over the years. Perfecting the cat eye flick has taken years in the making! Two products I came across, one higher end and one more 'drugstore' price, I decided to compare the two to see who came out on top.

Thanks for the memories 2014!

Welcome 2015!

What better way to start my blog than at the beginning of a brand new year, along side my list of 2015 resolutions!? Cheesy I know but it will be interesting to see how I get on with it!

1 Start a blog and maintain it
I've been wanting to start a beauty/lifestyle blog for ages! I've always been frightened to take the plunge but now is the perfect time. I love buying and testing new makeup and beauty products so to tell people about my experiences with the products I buy is the natural thing to do. Also I think a blog will be a good place to help gain confidence in myself.

2 Be better with money
First of all I need to pay off my car loan! I recently bought a beautiful (second hand) new style Ford KA and I love it! Unfortunately I had to borrow some pennies to purchase it and so first thing is first, pay it off! Along side this I need to start saving. Maybe one day I would like to buy my own house, if not a house, savings will be great to have behind me for whatever the future holds! I need to kerb my online spending. Is it just me or is the ease of buying online such a trap!? I spend way way way too much money buying on the Topshop website. I need to limit my spending on clothes and beauty products so as not to spend more than I earn!

3 Health
The one everyone puts down! But I really feel this is the year to get myself feeling perfectly body confidence. I've never been stick thin and I never will be. I'm a size 12, sometimes I'm perfectly happy, other times I struggle to like my body. I need to learn to love myself! Especially when it comes to the summer holiday aboard! I want to feel confident in a bikini not self conscience. Really I want to tone up a bit and loose a few pounds before summer comes around! Healthy eating and regular exercise has to be worked into my busy 9-5 work life.

4 Learn to love myself
I'm a quiet person, I always have been. I hate for anyone to think I'm stuck up when I'm not, I'm just quiet, especially in big groups I'm not totally familiar with. But this is the way I am and I need to learn to love myself exactly the way I am and not worry about what others think. I need to love my personality, my body, me!

So, heres to 2015! More posts to come! :)
