We all have bad days, that's just something every single one of us has to go through and whether you have the occasional off days or pretty much every day is a bad day it's super hard not to let it overpower you. Lately I've been feeling pretty down in the dumps and I've been struggling to stop it from affecting my daily life (which is never a good idea, trust me), depression is a bitch but instead of letting it take my life downhill like I used to I'm trying my hardest to just carry on. So whether you're depressed or generally just having an off day, here are 5 things you should remind yourself daily.
As soon as I start blogging about how the weather is getting colder and Autumn is coming the sun decides to pop up and pay a surprise visit and I am not liking it. However we are coming up so close to September so soon Summer will be officially over and I will be in my own little heaven. This post has been sitting in my list for ages but for some reason (god knows what) I've just never gotten around to uploading it. All bloggers, and I mean all, have confessions like these that they had to admit, especially to themselves which is why I'm writing this post so we can all rejoice in how we deffo don't fit into the perfect blogging image that we all know doesn't actually exist. We all have things we need to work on and let's be real, if we don't admit what they are we'll never motivate ourselves to actually work on them, so moving on here are a few of my blogger confessions.
To my surprise a lot of you seem to like my blog related posts, whether it's advice or how to's they seem to be my most popular and my most viewed by far. Now I'm not an expert blogger and I'm not going to pretend to be, sometimes I can be the most unorganised person known to man (it will be my downfall one day I swear), but when it comes to this blog I at least try to get myself together and make it relatively easier for myself. Try being the keyword here guys. A lot of blog planners I see online are just too complicated, they have too many boxes I feel like I need to use but have nothing to put in and it really frustrates me, although they are helpful! I just thought I'd share with you the weekly blog planner I use, I like to keep it quite simple which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea but for me personally I find it so much easier and less daunting.
I planned and photographed this post at the beginning of the summer, now as it's coming to a close and the weather has deteriorated majorly I've actually decided to upload it. This girl really needs to work on her timing's doesn't she. I thought I'd still post it anyway as even as we go into Autumn my base makeup will probably still stay the same for the most part so it can count for both Summer and Autumn. Just gotta add, is anyone else super excited for the hot weather to be over and for Autumn to hit?! Deffo going to plan a ton of Autumn posts (and not to forget an Autumn Instagram theme) as it's my favourite season and I just can't handle my excitement! And Halloween?! Buzzing is an understatement! Could I say Autumn any more times?
Lately every line I write for this blog I delete as soon as I read it back, I've sat here stressing for hours countless times trying to get things out but it's like my heads empty. However that isn't the problem, the problem is that in reality my head is too full. It's brimmed with things that need filing into sections to help me feel clearer but instead everything's just swimming around making me feel lost and confused, and, well, like a complete mess.I can't think clearly or rationally because everything's so muddled up and I can't unravel any of it. Generally I don't have any problems, there's nothing major going on right now for me to feel like this but for some reason every little thing that shouldn't be a problem is. My brain has made problems out of nothing and now I feel like one giant puzzle that I can't put together.
Makeup Revolution are a brand I have loved for a long time, but only recently have I actually realised how much I love their makeup. I remember going to the MUR Halloween event last year and it really sparked my interest in trying more of their products, although my bank account is deffo not happy with this. When I saw this highlighter on the Superdrug website I added it straight into my cart, it was basically love at first sight and I just couldn't help myself. When it finally came through in the post I died of happiness and was ecstatic to try it on my face so here is my review of Makeup Revolutions Skin Kiss Highlighter in Peach Kiss!
As most of you may know I am a major film buff, and yes my speciality is mostly behind the scenes but I do love finding new actors to admire and the celebrity world is full of rising stars. Among these is actress Melissa Bolona who has taken Hollywood by storm. Here is what you need to know about this amazing new face in Hollywood:
Beauty and makeup reviews are something I never do enough of, I'm just still quite a newbie when it comes to writing about them and I need to get used to it and suck it up. I've been collecting so many products over the last few months I have enough to make this blog review heaven. This palette has been in my collection for quite a while now, a lot of people used to refer to it as an Urban Decay Naked Palette dupe and to be fair I can see the resemblance, but as someone who's not used a Naked Palette in literally years I can't compare the similarities myself, which is a tad annoying. I'm a bit of an eyeshadow addict, if you click on my beauty section which you can find HERE most of my makeup reviews so far have been of eyeshadow palettes, pretty sure I even did 3 in a row once (although don't worry lads, I'm almost out of different ones to review, you'll all probably be glad to hear). This product retails at around £5, which compared to most makeup I own is rather cheap.
Are you looking for the best foundation for your face and complexion? From top of the line items that celebrities swear by to the best deals you can find, following are some of the best deals I've found for every skin type. The best foundation for your skin can be a tough find, especially if you are looking for the best tone for pale skin (trust me, I know).

From the luxury brands no celebrity would be without to the best market steals you can find, here are some of the best foundations for every skin.

A few of you have noticed lately that my blog (and social medias) have been all over the place, I tweeted a few weeks ago that my boyfriend and I broke up and a few of you assumed it may be related to that (how right you guys were). I've needed a bit of time to sort myself out, clear my head and focus on myself. When the whole breakup happened my friend Laura gave me a bit of advice, that focusing on my career is what's most important, and honestly she's right. I let this blog go downhill over a guy, but this little place on the internet will always be and should always be my number one priority. It's what I love doing, it's helping me build my skills and it's kind of a part of me, so the fact that I considered giving that up for a guy is just plain outrageous. This post is half an apology and half a letter to those of you with guy problems or struggling to get over ex's. What I share here really helped me get over what happened to me and hopefully it may help some of you..
I'm going to start this post off with a little story time, I mean why not? When I was in school we were all given a laptop, as a complete computer nerd I was pretty happy with that, however it didn't last long. Every other month I'd have to take it into computer tech because I messed it up, I didn't mean to but it just kinda happened. I was prone to getting some weird viruses on my laptops pretty much all the time and it meant I went through a fair few. To say my parents weren't happy was an understatement, even as I'm typing this I struggled to convince my Dad to let me use his computer to blog since somehow a virus has wormed it's way onto his computer, although can I just say it 100% wasn't me this time (although I am getting the blame, damn it). As I've grown up I've learnt a lot about protecting a computer from virus's and the best one to use in my opinion is www.AVG.com, my Dad has used this since the old complaining at me days and even now he's making me pause writing this to use it to try and sort his computer out.
The sun has been shining and it has actually felt quite warm, maybe we're just being optimistic about the weather, but summer is definitely on its way, on paper at least. So that means the garden needs to be summer ready, because even if the sun doesn't put its hat on, we can at least have an outdoor space fit for a king if it does decide to show up and to be honest we never know when it will so here are a few tips for getting your garden summer ready.
