Moving | And finding a new house...

So not so far from now, a certain someone and I will be moving in together... ITS BIG! I KNOW!

The whole idea seems so exciting and very lovely that we are both moving on with our lives together - though the idea I like most of all is buying all the cool shit - i.e this gorgeous sofa from Next Home (see below)


Hunting for somewhere to live is so friggin stressful. Seeing somewhere that you absolutely love and then it getting swept away suddenly was such a regular occurance and it left me feeling pretty diheartened and SO frustrated. (click read more to see more)

When you need a bit of me time | Relaxation

Everyone needs a little 'me' time every so often, a time to relax and be alone with your thoughts. This is how I do it...

Planet Spa Ginseng Peel of Mask £3 per tube

Lovely mask from AVON - though currently OOS (out of stock) . The ginseng is incredible at revitalising your skin and peeling it off is a bit of a guilty pleasure. I found it does leave my skin a little tight, though this is easily solved with a good moisturiser - I recommend the Dr Darren  photo-protective hydrating fluid SPF20 which you can buy from Superdrug in the UK. .

Bullying | Poking fun!

- Rate on Stumbleupon - it makes me smile!

Aren't folk just frigging (this was not the word I wanted to say) annoying??

These days you can't say anything without someone saying something else behind your back... and its never usually nice things.

Bullying comes in many shapes and forms but I think the most prominent of which is BACK STABBING! Oh you can relate to this can you? How did I know... ?

Morocco | We went to Marrakesh

- Submit on StumbleUpon

At the start of December last year my boyfriend and I had a little trip over to the North of Africa to the affluently traditional country of Morocco.

We stayed at the Eden Andolou Hotel and Spa which is just outside of Marrakesh, a very very lovely hotel with friendly staff all round. The selling point for the hotel was definitely the views... look for yourself. The Atlas Mountains were literally on our doorstep. Can't complain. 

Denby | Daisy Green Dining Set Review

Did you ever see such a gorgeous thing? Me neither...


Take a breath and admire the beauty of this dainty dinner set by the renowned British Pottery Company, Denby.

My mum has had her Denby Diner Set for over 25 years and it still looks immaculate. With this in mind I decided to get my own set, given that I am moving to my own place this September. The Denby Daisy Green Dinner Set immediately caught my eye. I'm quite the fan of quintessentially English things and I feel like this set fits perfectly into this category.

How I feel about fitness | What I recommend for your feet

Yeah I know, everyone want that perfect beach body to flaunt along the shore in the South of France or maybe you just want to look hot for a night out... But getting there is not always that easy.

Personally, the occasional run is not good enough. I feel like if I'm the only one doing an activity I'm less likely to put much effort in. Am i right girls? Mmhmm. So the thing that works best for me is the gym - though its not for everyone.

The cross trainer is my thing and I always set a goal to burn at least 100 kcals per 10 mins on the machine... well that was when i was fit. Although right now a block of cheese could probably make it up a hill faster than me.

Anyway, the point of all this looking good malarkey wouldn't be any good if you didn't look bootylicious while doing it now would it?

Running shoes are so important for support and if your like me and always get sore feet while working out I would recommend Nike or Asics for comfort as their ranges are awesome.

I wear gel lined trainers from Asics, but have my eye on these ones which they also make. Very trendy and would make you noticed at the gym or wherever you chose to strut.


Are you starting a new work out regime? | What do you wear to the gym?

Just let me go already?! | When people hold you back

Why is it that when you want to do something, someone always holds you back?

Picture this:

You have a new job, earning more money than you ever though you would and have found new passion for unusual things. Things, that are new to you and things that seem exciting. Like travelling, fancy cheese and ornate mug collecting. And so, you decide that you want to travel and discover ''All things French" from the humble baguette to the iconic fêtes this ''shabby-chic'' totty nosed country feels all the more desirable and all so right. Perhaps you'll find a well groomed Frenchman who speaks with a slight gruff and has wooingly admiring slurrs of "ooooo" ofter every single word.



Or maybe not. Because, somebody keeps saying ''I don't think its a good idea''. Or perhaps its more of a "What if you get lost and end up getting gang raped in a Camembert ridden alley way".

REN Products | That I really want...

Ok, so I am obsessed - become completely  fascinated and consumed with REN Skincare. (well the thought of REN Skincare as I haven't bought any yet...)

... and its all essiebutton's fault!! If you want to blame her too, here's the video. 

I really really really want to give the REN Sensitive Skin Range a go, its supposed to be very gentle and skin-friendly. 

My skin is just downright weird, sometimes dry, sometimes horrifically dry and sometimes oily ish and I am quite dedicated to my usual skincare routine and don't really like to change it up - incase my skin has a bit of a fit!

But I really do think that these products will work for me, the following are the selectewd few :) 

Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish - 150ml for £18?!

Clear Calm 3 Clarifying Clay Cleanser (whats with all the C's?) also £18 for 150ml

and finally!:


The Invisible Pores Detox Mask £18 for 50ml

Hopefully will be purchasing these lovely looking products within the next month or two, so keep posted for a full (real) review!

Our Little Daunder to the Isle of Skye...

So...

The boyf and I had a lovely trip over to the west coast of Scotland to the beautiful Isle of Skye this week. Before this trip I was a "Skye virgin" and can truly say I was overwhelmed with how amazing a place it is.

My boyfriend invited me over with him as he was going for a work trip so I spent my mornings outside enjoying the mellow sunshine and remarkable silence. Croissant and strawbs in hand I relaxed outside the holiday cottage listening to the cooing of baby lambs.
