In April 2018 I decided it was time to stop being down about my weight and actually do something about it. No more eating unhealthy it was time to eat healthier and getting sorted. Yes I went through a horrible break up but I feel that it was a wake up call for me to actually try my hardest and actually lose weight instead of putting it off. Also I have a wedding next year in may 2019 (Which I'm bridesmaid for)  which is also another reason why I wanted to actually get some motivation.  Now I'm not normally open about things like this as its normally something i like to keep to myself but I've had requests on my Instagram to actually share my story and share with you guys that it is actually possible that if you are in the right mindset you can actually achieve something.  Right side 13th April 2018- 13th July 2018 I was a size 22 back in January 2018 which to me I know they say that never look at the label as it doesn't define you but for me it did define me a

It's the end of March already! How is this even possible?  March well it was a great month. Today I'm going to be sharing with you what I've been enjoying throughout the month if March  Beauty section: This month I've been really trying to wear some make up and get the last of the winter stuff out the way and make way for spring/summer:  This Soph eye shadow palette has been my most used one in my collection right now. I love the colour combinations and also the pigmentation of the colours are just insane. I've been really enjoying using this, I saw soph (Sophdoesnails- the person who created this eye shadows) actually talk about this on her channel and instantly went to superdrug and got it (After three superdrugs later) I love the warmer shades like the copper colours and the reds as I feel they create the perfect look in my opinion. This eye shadow palette was only £8 it was a steal.  NYX Soft matte lip cream in Stockholm: Now we all

I can't quite believe that it's 2018 already. This year has been a massive year for me. Things have changed in my life so much. My new years resolutions at the start of 2017 were: Pass my driving test Lose weight Be more confident Well I can safe say I've done all three of those things. I started to lose weight towards the end of 2016 but I carried it on to this year. I went from a size 24 to a size 14. I'm so proud of my journey, don't get me wrong it's been a massive challenge but I'm so happy with everything I went through to get to were I am now. It's  crazy looking back at pictures of me back over the years and now looking at pictures now and how much I've changed. On 30th november 2017 I passed my driving test. I started to learn to drive in May 5th. It took me overall 6 months to pass my test and I only had 20 hours of driving with my driving instructor. I was more than lucky to purchase my first car in August that was a m

Sleek- I'm in love with sleek, Its become one of my favorite brands to buy from. There Matte me range is literally amazing and the color pay off is unreal.
