Tanya Burr Duvet Day

So since Tanya has updated the packaging on her products I was yet to buy any of them, although the packaging is a lot nicer on these than the old I had no need to buy another. 

But recently I had a clear out of all my nail varnishes and felt that a colour like this Tanya Burr Duvet Day was needed in my collection. Although you definitely need two plus coats of this nail varnish it turns into a lovely milky grey which I think will be perfect for the summer. 

You can buy the range here and I can't wait to take a look at getting some more. 

Fitness Friday #4 - January Round Up

So this week is the last week of Lucy Wyndham-Read's intermediate January calender, I wanted to do a round up of how the month went. 

First of all, this is the first month in a while (I'm talking a couple of years here at least) that I have worked out so consistently. I mean I think I have only had 6 days off from exercising, which I think is pretty good going. I have got to the stage now, where I don't want to break my trend and even if I am low on motivation I still feel like I need to do it so I can say, I've worked out six times this week. This may be a little immature, but sometimes you need to be proud of yourself and this is one of those times. I have also really enjoyed the workouts and although I feel pushed doing the workouts I don't get so completely exhausted that I can't do another one the day after. 

My eating regime has also become a lot better, this week I have started doing fruit salads for myself as a snack at work, and I really look forward to eating this. This month I also started making my own soups and although this hasn't gone to plan every week I am getting there. I also have to point out that although at the weekends I don't completely let myself go I am a lot less restrictive with what I eat, and this even happens in the week sometimes too. 

My Goals For February:  
I am going to make these small goals but something I think I can definitely achieve: 

• Make some iron rich soups - this month I have made all vegetarian soups, as I thought these would be easier for me to make, which they have been but I am a little worried that my iron will start to go down. So if anyone can recommend any soups that are high in iron, preferably vegetarian that would be very helpful.
• Drink two litres of water a day - I feel like if I can get into a habit of this my body will benefit a lot. 
• Stop drinking diet coke - this is the one thing I want to get rid of out of my life, I feel like it is so bad for me yet I still keep drinking it. I am not as bad as I used to be. So I am going to do the first two weeks with only one diet coke and the last two with none and see how that work out for me. 

Now here is a look at my workout for the week, although I have enjoyed this I can't wait for Lucy's new programme next week:

Friday - 
100 high knees
15 Minute No Excuses Bodyweight Workout - POPSUGAR Fitness (This had a warm down in it so I did this at the very end of my workout)

What heaven tastes like...

So today I bring to you my first ever fashion post, now I don't think I dress very stylishly and I wear the same outfits hundreds of times over until they either become damaged or someone starts to notice.... I just thought it would be nice to show some of my simple, quite casual outfits. Here I am wearing a striped dress from Topshop (I seem to have a bit of a thing for stripes at the moment), a red tartan scarf from Primark (similar here) and black Chelsea boots (I have no idea where these are from but here are some similar). This outfit is basic and comfy, perfect for shopping. 

Now I don't know if this is really strange to blog about but I saw this on Anna Saconne's blog, so when I saw it on offer in Waitrose, I had to try it. I know that I have been showing you how healthy I have been recently on here but sometimes you have to let yourself have a treat once in a while. It sounded absolutely divine I don't know how they manage it to taste like an actual cinnamon bun but they do. If you like cinnamon buns then you will definitely like this. 

Do you think you will be trying it? 

See you soon.

More Coverage Less Shine

So trying to get the perfect foundation is hard but with there being so many different ways to put the foundation on your face: hands, a whole host of tools and sponges, it can be hard even if you do have the perfect foundation to get the perfect look on the face. For me I like to have more coverage, I mean my skin hasn't looked great since I have been 11, I want to cover those acne scars. I also don't want to be shiny, whilst I am at work I don't have the time or patience to be topping up my foundation with powder every five minutes, so I find that this technique has helped me to solve that problem. 

Tools:

• Your favourite foundation - right now these are my favourites: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and L'Oreal True Match Foundation. 
• An egg shaped sponge - I am loving the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, see my review here. 
• Running water

Steps: 

1. Soak your sponge in water and ring out. 
2. Squeeze some foundation on to the back of your hand
3. Put your sponge into your foundation and dab it across your face. 
4. Continue doing this until you get the desired coverage. 

Let me know if you try this technique out and whether you notice a difference. 

See you soon.

Fitness Friday #3 - Finding Workouts I Enjoy

So it is Fitness Friday time again, I actually enjoy writing this post and seeing all of the workouts I have done over this week. This week I was very busy and I had to take two days off to visit a friend. Although I felt guilty at the time in retrospect it is good to take some time off to allow for your body to recover and sometimes time just does not allow you. 

Although I said in last weeks post I was going to make fruit salad due to having to get the train back in the snow I did not have time to get to the supermarket. This also meant that I had to cobble together anything we had in the cupboards to make a soup, which in the end I actually did not like. I put wayyyyyy too much onion in it and I am not actually the biggest fan of onion. Hopefully this weekend I will be a lot more prepared. 

This week I have been doing a lot of yoga after my workouts, although at first I found yoga quite frustrating, I felt like it wasn't fast paced enough. I actually do find it quite relaxing, thinking about nothing is a rarity in this day and age and Adriene has such a soothing voice that I could easily fall asleep in some of the positions, especially the one where you lie on the floor. 

It is important to find workouts that you enjoy, as then it doesn't actually feel like you are working out at all just doing something you enjoy. Whether that is going walking with friends or taking a high energy fitness class. Try and find something you enjoy to get you a little more active. 

After that long ramble. Here is my fitness routine this week: 

Friday and Saturday - nothing :o 

Sunday - 
100 high knees
Bodyweight Cardio and Total Body Toning - Fitness Blender (Omg I was shaking so much after this, an actual killer for such a short workout) 
Yoga Camp Day 16 - Yoga with Adriene 

Monday - 
100 high knees
Hiit That Booty - Lucy Wyndham-Read
I then did a series of yoga moves to stretch out quickly. 

Tuesday - 
3km run (Well technically 3.2km, not my fastest run ever but I blame this on the fact that I did it straight after work and I had the sun in my eyes, although I did my third best 400m time of 2:07)
3 Minute Arm Workout - Lucy Wyndham-Read
Yoga Camp Day 18 - Yoga with Adriene 

Wednesday - 
100 high knees
Calorie Melting and Total Body Chair Workout - Lucy Wyndham-Read (I feel like I have got so much better at this workout, this is the third time I have done this this month)
Yoga Camp Day 19 - Yoga with Adriene 

Thursday - 
100 high knees
Hiit 2016 Workout - Lucy Wyndham-Read (TWICE!!!!! I have got to say I think this is the hardest Lucy video of the workout plan) 
Fitness Blender Cool Down Workout - Fitness Blender 

Sorry for the lack of pictures I am hoping to get some more next week. 

See you soon.

Baking Brownies

Last weekend was my brother's last weekend before he went back to university for the next semester. So as a treat to myself (meant to be as a leaving present for him) I baked these delicious brownies. Although we still have some food left over from the Christmas period these were a welcome change from all the Christmas cake we had been having. The recipe that I always go for is from Amelia Liana's blog here, which really is the best brownie recipe ever. We had some straight after they had been taken out of the over when the chocolate was still all melty and the brownies were nice and soft. Nothing better. Although I would recommend always heating it up before eating as it the chocolate chunks can get quite hard, especially if your house is as cold as mine I used white and milk chocolate but I would imagine that if you used dark chocolate they would also taste just as delicious, just not everyone in my family like dark chocolate. 

Have you got any baking recipes to try out would love to know. Think I am going to try peanut butter brownies next. 

See you soon.

Fitness Friday #2

So it is Friday again and time for my next Fitness Friday instalment. I am sorry for being so rubbish at posting but I was feeling a bit uninspired this week and I would rather post nothing than something I don't like. This week hasn't been the best for fitness either, and I am kind of a bit disappointed that I missed a day but sometimes life gets in the way I suppose. So, anyway, here is my workout routine this week: 

Friday - 
100 high knees
At Home Cardio Workout - Fitness Blender (Omg deffo need music for this and why are burpees so evil???)
6 Minute Thigh Hiit Workout - Lucy Wyndham-Read
After this I was exhausted so just did a few stretches. 

Saturday - 
100 high knees
Bodyweight Cardio Workout - Fitness Blender (This has a warm up and cool down included, great for when you are in a rush)

Sunday - 
Rest Day - otherwise known as food prep day :D 

Monday - 

100 high knees
Hiit That Booty - Lucy Wyndham-Read (So many high knees :o) 
Flexibility Leg Streches - PsycheTruth

Tuesday - 
100 high knees
15 Minute Full Body Workout - Popsugar Fitness (This is the first time I have tried a Popsugar routine and I loved it, found this pretty tough. Weights are also needed for this one. Cool down is also included in this so I did after the arm workout) 
3 Minute Arm Workout - Lucy Wyndham-Read

Wednesday - 
100 high knees 
Calorie Melting and Total Body Toning Chair Workout - Lucy Wyndham-Read
I then did some stretches of my own. (Was suffering from a sore back so didn't want to push myself too much). 

Thurday - 
Today I was super busy so I didn't have time to work out. 

One thing I think I have done well this week on is cutting out crap, I have started preparing lunches for week on a Friday and this week I made Celery Soup (with much disgust from the rest of the family). It looks a bit milk in the picture but actually tastes great and is good for you. It was my first time using my hand blender and I was a bit worried it was going to go everywhere but it was actually a success. 

Next week I am going to try and make a fruit salad to take to work with me as well as a snack in the afternoon. I always find that I need something to get me over that 3 o'clock slump and I think this will be a great healthy alternative. As at the moment I just grab anything around to eat. 

Here is my progress pic for this week too. I don't know if I actually look any different, well apart from the outfit I am wearing but it will be good to look over all the pictures. 

So have you got any soup suggestions for me? I want to mix it up a bit for next week. And what do you think of my workout routine, do you think its okay that I missed a day out. Well I hope so as there is nothing I can do now. 

See you soon.

Party Makeup Inspiration

I feel like once the festive season has gone people stop posting so many make up tutorials especially for parties. People still have birthday parties to go to in January so I thought I would post a party eye make up inspiration. Now I know I am still a novice at make up but I hope you can appreciate what I was trying to go for. This is what I did to create the look: 

Tools:

• An eye primer - I used the Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin but which ever one you have available will do. 
• Sticky tabs - I use these to help me get the cat eye flick but if you are good at doing it you probably don't need to bother. 
• A neutrals palette - I used the Collection Uncovered Palette in the shade Nude but again any palette that has a good highlight and shimmer base colour will be good. 
• A shimmery bronze brown - I used shade three from the Avon True Colour Quad in Mocha Latte. 
• A liquid black liner - I used the L'Oreal Super Liner Superstar not my favourite liquid liner but I had no other options. 
• A black kohl liner - I used the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero but use anyone you have and that you like
• A blending brush 
• A flat brush. 

Steps: 

1. Apply eye primer over lid and crease. 
2. Put the sticky tabs on the corner of your eyes if using.
3. Apply the highlighter colour from nudes palette over your brown bone and then apply the gold shimmery base colour over your lid with the flat brush. 
4. Apply the shimmery bronze brown shade in your crease and blend out. If the colour is not intense enough for you, do this process again. 
5. Next the tricky bit for me, apply the liquid liner with a cat flick. 
6. Now pull off the sticky tab and continue the liner to the bottom lash line. 
7. Use your kohl liner to line your top water liner and your bottom lash line.

If you want me to do a post on the rest of my make up let me know. 

See you soon.

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Love

As you may be able to guess from the title this is my favourite scent from the Soap and Glory range although I think I like all of the scents from the Soap and Glory range, this is my absolute fave. I just want to write this post to let everyone know how great it is. 

When I saw that there was a Sugar Crush Hand Food and Hand Maid (so sad that the Hand Maid was out of stock...I think I have a problem), I knew I had to write about my love for the scent. 

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub 
300ml/£8 - Boots
I think this is the first ever product I bought from the Soap and Glory range. As a big lover of removing fake tan with Soap and Glory exfoliators and this one did not disappoint, it is just as scrubby as the rest of the body scrubs but has a delightful citrus scent to it too. Although the only down side of it is that it only comes in a pit and means that I always end up with water all inside of it. 

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Buttercream 
300ml/£10 - Boots
Now this is probably the second thing I got from the line as I love the buttercreams they are so thick and moisturising but not too sticky although I would probably just buy this on scent alone it is nice that it is actually a decent moisturiser. 

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Hand Food
50ml/£2.50 - Boots
This is what started this whole blog post inspiration was when I saw the Sugar Crush Hand Food in Boots I knew I had to have it. Although hand moisturiser is not a product I regularly use but probably should but I love this scent so much that it actually encourages me to use it a bit more. 

What is your favourite Soap and Glory range????? 

See you tomorrow.

P.S Sorry about the shadows in the pictures. 

Fitness Friday #1

So it is that time again Fitness Friday. This week I thought I would share with you my workout routine for the week, as I would find it really interesting to know what people get up to for their fitness routines. Although I am mostly following Lucy's intermediate fitness calender, I do like to change things up a bit. I also do all of my workouts at home and with no equipment unless otherwise written as I am tight with my money and lack motivation to actually get to the gym. As this is a Friday post I will go from last Friday until yesterday. 

Friday -

6 Minute Thigh Hiit Workout - Lucy Wyndham-Read

This week has been hard but not ridiculously hard, I can't wait to see if I improve next week. Now that you have taken a look at my fitness routine,I thought a share a few more health and fitness tit bits. 

Instagram accounts to follow - this week I have started looking for more health and fitness instagram accounts (leave yours down below, I don't believe you can ever be following too many insta accounts) are @averagejoefoodie and @tammyhembrow. Hannah from averagejoefoodie posts every single meal and snack she eats on there and it is really good for meal inspiration and Tammy has just got a beautiful body and I use her for fitness inspo. 

Healthy food - last week I told you I ordered a hand blender to make soups for my lunch and so on Sunday I had my first attempt at making one. I went for Moroccan chickpea and although it did not go brilliantly it still tasted good.  To make it I cooked celery, onion, garlic and cumin in a pan until browned. I then added vegetable stock, plum tomatoes and chickpeas for around 10 minutes added some frozen broad beans and done. And it actually tasted good. 

I also started having a snack after my tea of greek yoghurt and fruit and it is actually so satisfying. 

Gym Gear - now here is where I need some help from you guys, I need some nice new gym gear to workout in as however low this may sound it really motivates me to have new gym clothes. 


Let me know what you want to see in next weeks post, as I feel it may get a bit repetitive although obviously it changes every week and remember to leaves ideas for gym clothes. Sorry there is no progress pic, hopefully there will be one next week. 

See you tomorrow.

Review: Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

So this is not the first time I have had the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, the first one I had, mysteriously went missing and for a while I didn't need a new one telling myself I didn't really need it. But when I kept going to get it to apply my make up on more than one occasion I realised I could not be without it. So I went to Boots to buy a new one and it was the last one left. It was a sign. So I thought I would do a little review for you, although I am sure you know how it is going to go already. 

Having never tried the actual beauty blender I can't do an actual comparison between the two. But for now this is good enough for me and achieves the look that I want. 

I tend to use the sponge when I have a lot of time on my hands or for special occasions, it just gives a much nicer finish to the foundation than stippling the foundation into my skin, which I find can leave me brush marks on my face. (If anyone knows a solution for this please let me know). 

I have tried normal cosmetic sponges in the past but the this miracle complexion sponge is ten times better. I don't know what it is maybe that it holds a lot of water in it but application of foundation just looks a lot nicer. 

The sponge has three different sides to it and I tend to use it damp. When it is damp I would say it doubles in size and makes it light and bouncy, makes it sooo much easier to bounce the foundation into the skin.

I feel like with this sponge I can achieve flawless foundation and concealer. It is perfect lightening up your under eye as your not really blending it is just blending the edges to get flawless under eyes. 

What do you think of the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge? Let me know.

See you tomorrow.

No More Naps

Now I know this may sound strange, but many of us tend to take a cheeky nap during the day. Not only does this waste a part of the day when you could have been doing something productive it is also less likely to make you go to sleep at night time too. 

Before I start with my tips for staying awake, I have to say that I am not an expert in sleep, these are just some things that have been helpful for me. 

Eat a light lunch.

I find that if I am eating a heavy lunch such as chips, I am much more likely to feel sleepy in the afternoon, than if I have something light like a soup to eat. 

Go outside. 

If you don't go outside very often, it can affect your body clock as you are not getting enough sunlight and this will make your body think that it is night time. 

Open a window. 

If it hot and stuffy your more likely to want to close your eyes and just have a little nap. If you open the window and let some fresh air in your not going to want to nap as badly. 

Get into a routine. 

Its much easier for your body if you get into a routine and stick to that routine, then it knows what to expect. So make sure you try to get to bed early. 

And if all else fails. 

Did you enjoy these sort of posts? It is something a bit different for me but hope you enjoyed anyway. 

See you tomorrow.

Maybelline Dream Bronze BB Review and Swatches

Maybelline Dream Bronze BB (£6.99) is an 8 in 1 BB cream that adds a sunkissed glow to your skin, this sounds perfect to me as someone striving to always look bronzed. Let's have a closer look...

Dream Bronze claims to give you eight benefits in one product: 

1. Illuminates
2. Warms skintone
3. Evens
4. Veils imperfections 
5. SPF 25 protects
6. Hydrates
7. Smoothes
8. Refreshes

It comes in two shades: light/medium and medium/deep and I went for the light/medium as I have quite a fair skin tone. I was quite pleased that there were two shades as a lot of the time there is a "universal" shade which is always certainly too dark for me. 

When you first apply it to the skin I feel that it comes out extremely dark, much darker than my skin tone is. 

This is what it looks like indoors, as you can see it had a bit of an orangey tone to it compared to my skin tone which is not necessarily a bad thing as long as it is not too orange. 

Here it is against my skin tone here a little more blended out, it is still looking rather dark and not very natural. 

After blending it in completely it looks a lot more natural in colour but one thing I can tell you and unfortunately the camera hasn't picked it up very well is that is has particles of glitter in. This is definitely not what I was expecting or looking for. The one look I was not going for was a sun kissed version of Edward Cullen. Although I am impressed of how well it has blended out baring in mind the initial colour. 

So if you want a bronzing bb cream with glitter particles in then this is for you, if not maybe try something different.

Does anyone know of any dupes of this? Let me know. 

See you tomorrow.

Benefit Watts Up Highlighter Review

So today I am back with another review for you, a Benefit Review. As the weather is so rainy and dim at the moment I still want a pretty highlighted look whilst my actual skin is still looking dull. With this in mind I went on the hunt for the perfect highlighter and the Benefit Watts Up highlighter has come to the rescue. 

As I have said before in some blogposts I am always looking to get a glowy look (check out a different post I did here on steps to achieve it) and this is the best I have found so far to achieve the lit from within look. The fact that it is in a stick formula makes it easy to apply over foundation and does not disrupt the make up underneath, even when I am wearing powder it seems to work fine. 

I have been absolutely loving this on my cheek bone, my brow bone and down the bridge of my nose. This is perfect for work as it does not look like too much and lasts all day without making me look like a grease ball. 

What are your thoughts? Do you have a favourite highlighter?

See you on Monday.

Fitness Friday My Fitness Journey

So it is the beginning of the New Year, so first off Happy New Year. I hope 2016 is everything you want it to be. 

So as it is a new year I thought I would start off a new part of my blog: FITNESS. I intend for this to be a weekly post mostly to keep myself in check and I think some people might find it interesting. 

Fitness has always been something I have been interesting in, so I thought for todays post I would give you a run down of my fitness journey and where I am today. 

So I have done sport for as long as I can remember but we will start from the age of 11. When I was 11 I was part of a triathlon team, I don't really remember how I got into this but it was pretty serious for a little 11 year old, a lot of people there were older than me and it seemed like everyone was better than me. Although I enjoyed it, it was absolutely exhausting and I was terrified to take part in an actual event as I was so scared I would lose by miles. I think I only lasted about a year and then I moved on. 

Whilst a school, sport was not really pushed on to us. We had p.e and dance lessons every week but no one ever made it super competitive (and this I find out later on life in life is what motivates me). I was part of the school cross country team and even went to some county events but for some reason I was never really inspired by running. I enjoyed it and I was above average at it but for some reason nothing ever motivated me to practice or seriously compete it was just something I was good at. Also when I was at school I was part of the tennis team and the athletics team, both of which I was okay at but neither enjoyed or perused too much.

When I was 12 I joined the local rowing club it was called Project Oarsome and was a course over a year to teach you how to row. This started as just one gym session a week and built up over a year to actually training on the water and at the end of it taking part in a regatta against other new rowers. Once I had finished that I carried on with rowing, I wasn't too sure what to expect but I had made quite a few friends and I wanted to keep in contact with them. Over the next five years I was part of this rowing club which gave me some of the best and worst experiences. It taught me to be disciplined we had training at least four hours a week and at some points I was training for over fourteen hours a week. It was also whilst I was rowing that I became super competitive I found that this is what made me what to train so hard and carry on competing. It was also tough although we were only children there were gruesome trials to make the top squads and due to my petite frame I was always at a disadvantage, I felt like there was nothing I could do but try my best, and I felt like this wasn't good enough some times. I think this also where my competitiveness came from. During this time I won quite a few medals and trophies but whatever I did never felt quite good enough. Also during this time I became very fit, this point in time was probably the fittest I will ever be in my whole life and I wish I had carried on this level of fitness. I was sad when due to work commitments I had to quit but the experiences will stay with me for the rest of my life. 

Now on to when I went to uni, I felt like a change so I joined cheerleading. This was completely different to anything I had ever done before but I am so glad that I did it. Everyone just thinks that it is just pom poms and dance, but it is actually a mixture of dance, gymnastics, jumping and stunting. Doing this made me a lot more coordinated and made me also want to become flexible. Something that not a lot of emphasis was put on at rowing and a lot of emphasis was put on at cheerleading. Despite not being not flexible at all when I started over three years I became very flexible and had nearly mastered the splits by the time I had graduated. 

So I graduated last July and since then I have been all over the place with my fitness, I had a go at doing Blogilates, which was good but went on for too long after a day at work, I tried Kayla Itsnes BBG but I found this extremely intense after a day at work and also there was such a lot of repetition on moves that I felt like it was a strain on my joints. This week I have started doing Lucy Wyndham Read fitness calender, which I have so far enjoyed and will talk more about next week. 

I have also in the sales bought a Russel Hobbs hand blender which I hoping to make some soups with, so if you'd like to see what sort of soups I am making in the Fitness Friday post let me know. Here is a pic after my workout on Monday: beautiful I know ;)

If you got any suggestions of what you want in these posts then please leave a comment. 

See you tomorrow.
