What have I been doing...

Let's be honest, I'm petty rubbish with this blogging thing. I don't quite understand why though because I absolutely love it! 

Since my last post though I've moved out of my family home to university! After achieving double distinction star, 2 B's and an A in my a levels I managed to get into my top choice university(University of Manchester) to study Adult Nursing! 

So far, two months in, life has been crazy! Going from living with mum, dad and me to suddenly living in a new city with 9 other girls in one flat was mental! It was quite the baptism of fire.

 Having said that I am LOVING it! There's a lot of work on the course, but I expected nothing less, and already so many memories and laughs have been had. OH and of course quite a bit of alcohol has been consumed, oops! 

So why am I writing this post? 

Well I want to start using this space again, topics of posts I do not know as of yet, maybe just what I'm feeling or doing or sharing student tips, who knows! 

But let's try this again :-)!!

Holiday snaps

Now I've been very stupid these past few weeks. I scheduled some posts and then proceeded to forget to check on my blog, until now and have noticed that NONE of them have posted, sigh. But now I've got a back log of posts just ready to go, wahoo for accidentally being prepared! Anyway, here you are :-)

I recently went on a bit of a holiday with my mum to visit a close family friend and her husband at their apartment in Spain. I took a few snaps, only a few though, I was too busy enjoying the company, weather, food and drink to really take as many photos as I had hoped! But I thought I'd share a few of the ones I did take, Enjoy :-)

Early morning swim? I think so 

Evening beach walks

  

The old square, social hub of the town

Kinder Bueno Ice cream, the best thing ever to be invented 

One day I'll own a boat here 

Sucker for a palm tree

Local symbols

How pretty 

Evening beach walks became my favourite thing to do 

   

Such a lovely Spanish area

Safe to say I got to stay in a very beautiful, Spanish town. I've stayed here before but never quite understood how lovely it is. I honestly hope in the future I get to travel and explore more of Spain because its history is so fascinating and the Spanish way of life is just brilliant; afternoon naps and heaps of family time, yes please!!

What's blogging again?

Oh here we go again, yet ANOTHER apology post from me, apologising for my lack of blogging...Sorry sorry sorry. This time round however, it has been FAR too long and I'm not even sure if I remember how to blog...

The good news is though, it's now summer and I'm ready to blog my little heart out, whether I can remember how to or not. At least in my head that's what I'm planning to do...so we shall see. 

Basically since last posting, I've sat all my A level exams and gone through all the stress of revision and sitting the exams and counting down the days till college finished. I've been finished college nearly a month but didn't want to start blogging then as I knew I was working and had a holiday planned, which would have meant more blogging silence. But unfortunately my holiday is now over(more on that soon!) and I'm refreshed and ready to start posting again.

In the time I've not been posting, a couple of things have happened/changed in my life and I'm excited to share them with you. I'm excited for summer and hopefully summer will bring the opportunity to create some wonderful posts!

So that's about it for now, I'm going to work my little socks off and enjoy summer.

Current favourites

It's been ages and ages since I did my last favourites post so here we are with a new set of favourites! I surprise myself with these posts because I'm not normally one of those people who changes products or gets attached to new things regularly but it seems I do..hm who knew it, maybe I'm not sure of a creature of habit.

First is the beauty type products which I've been loving! If you've seen my recent make-up haul post (its here if you haven't read it!) I spoke about the Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer, since then I have fallen in love with it, bit weird I know. But in the past few weeks I've been wearing just powder during the day instead of a liquid just because I've been super busy and I often found I was reapplying through the day and getting shiny, but I've found using this as a base for makeup has really helped and I'm finding I don't have to reapply powder and if I do its normally mid afternoon. Highly recommend it!

At christmas I got a tonne of beauty products and things and I'm still slowly working my way through them and finding new things I like. Recently I've been loving No7's Beautiful Skin, Cleansing lotion. I have pretty sensitive skin and find a lot of products I can't use but this is hypo-allergenic and very gentle on the skin. I'm also prone to breakouts and this hasn't brought any on which is even better! I tend to use the lotion at night to remove make-up and it works so well! It's gentle on skin and can remove all my make-up pretty much instantly with a wipe of cotton wool after applying it, and you only need a little bit to so my guess is it'll probably last me a while! I know you can get it at boots, usually on 3 for 2 or some other fabulous promotion.

 Finallllly make-up wise is the Maybelline New York, Master Precise liquid eyeliner. I never wear eyeliner, only ever to fill in gaps when I'm wearing eyelashes, but I bought this in the hope I could teach myself to apply it properly and try something new with my make-up. So far, so good! It's easy to use, really soft, almost like a fine liner and sits in place really well. It was around £6 or £7 if I remember correctly so I'm pretty happy about this little purchase. (If anyone has tips on applying eyeliner easily let me know!)

My next favourite is my favourite purchase I've made in a couple of months! This lovely statement, yet subtle necklace. I bought this from New Look, and was only £5.99. It's great for wearing with a cami for a dressy occasion or a casual occasion. I really really like it! It's also not heavy or noisy to wear...if that makes sense. 

Finallly, slightly random but still one of my favourite things at the minute! My diary. With a busy few months coming up with exams and birthdays and trips and work and god know what else this has been my best friend recently. I know its late in the year to be raving about a diary but honestly I recommend buying one if you're as disorganised as I can be sometimes. It just lets me know/plan where I should be and what I should be doing, even with my revision. It also lets me plan college work, trips and life in general which is brilliant for me. I'm just really enjoying being organised. (It also means I can collect my lego stickers somewhere from when I babysit, which is the best part of course...)

Thanks for reading, I love doing posts like this:-)!

Weight Loss Wednesday

Tut tut and tut. I'm forever being rubbish with blogging...mega apologies but life is crazy crazy crazy.

Anyway, in the past month or so I've got into the routine of regular exercise either using an App or exercise DVD. But I find them ultra boring after a while and loose motivation with them. However I do find that music is the best way to re-motivate my work outs, so I wanted to share some of my favourite motivational songs, artists and albums with you! 

I'm a massive spotify user and lover so I generally just listen to random playlists and hope for the best. 

If like myself you use spotify I find that just going on to Browse section and finding a workout playlist throws up some motivational songs. 

But generally I go for energetic songs to work out to, one of my favourite artists is Example and I find his songs are just fab to help get through a workout. 

Close- Subfocus is also a great song, especially for cardio workouts, Waves- Robin Schulz Radio edit, Mr.Probz is also brilliant! Basically any song you'd expect to be dancing to on a Saturday night in a club or at a party!

A bit random and possibly a bit weird is Nickelback. Now as a fan of theirs I enjoy their music for workouts because its got good rhythms which you can pace yourself to. And as weird as it sounds some of the more 'angry' songs are quite motivational to help relieve some stress. I don't know, maybe its just me!

I do think though any song/artist/album you really enjoy and can sing your heart out to is also a brilliant way to motivate yourself while working out. Although using all your breathe on singing is maybe slightly dangerous...

So there you go, motivational music is the key to a brilliant workout. If anyone has any suggestions for motivational music please let me know, I'm always on the hunt!

FOTD

 I've never done one of these before, but wanted to try it out. Woo yay for trying new things. 

Basically though this is a pretty boring post idea for me because I ware quite minimal make-up. Especially today...

Concealer- Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection in Medium (or cool medium in the newer range)
Powder- Clinique Stay-matte pressed powder in Invisible Matte
Blusher- Very little, but I use Technic blusher and I don't know where you can buy that...oops(Side note, I'm looking for a new blusher so will happily take any recommendations!!)
Mascara- No7 Lash Adapt
Eyeshadow- Benefit Creaseless cream shadow in R.S.V.P. (and I just found out you can buy this colour on its own, I thought it was only in the neutrals pallet, oh so happy!)

I'm currently using brushes from H&M aswell!

That's it! 

:-)

P.S. I need some help; I'm looking for an everyday lipstick/gloss and a really good liquid eyeliner, so if anyone's got any recommendations let me know in the comments/twitter(which is below!) Thank you lovelies!

Make-up Haul

Over the past few weeks I've been purchasing some new make-up and I wanted to share them, maybe even share a few reviews.

Most of these are quite neutral colours which is always handy to have, especially when you're a minimal sort of make up gal like myself. 

This is especially true for me when I'm choosing eye shadows!

Both shades can be found here; 24hr Color Tattoo

Both shades can be found here; Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint

I purchased the first two which are the Maybelline New York, 24hr Color Tattoo, gel-cream eye shadows in 40-Permanent Taupe and 35-On and on Bronze. I absolutely love creamy textured eye shadows compared to the traditional powdered ones, so these are perfect for me! However, the Permanent Taupe one is a nice colour but I found it didn't match how it looked in the pot and was quite dark when on;  But I still quite like it! It doesn't crease and even after a day of college and running about doing errands still looks fresh and well placed, so I highly recommend these!
The On and on Bronze colour I picked up last week as part of three for two make-up at Tesco (The best and worst thing that could ever happen! Good for grabbing some lovely new products but also bad for the dent left in my bank account!) and I'm yet to try it. However, a close friend of mine wears this one quite often and it lasts all day and is a lovely neutral colour, which can be worn with everything. In all honesty I wanted to try this one as an attempt to find a cheaper version of Benefits R.S.V.P.  (which I spoke about here; current-favorites), but its not even similar in colour but should make for a good neutral replacement none the less! 

The second two eye shadows, which I am LOVING are Clinique's Chubby stick, shadow tint in 01-Bountiful Beige and 07-Pink & Plenty. These were a gift from my mum when she came home from holiday, in Lanzarote the lucky devil! I absolutely love the colours, they're quite natural so can be worn with pretty much everything and Pink & Plenty is really summery as well! They're so easy to apply; almost like a lipstick for your eyes, which makes them easy to apply without mistakes, which for someone as clumsy as me is brilliant!

So for the price I recommend these and I can't wait to purchase some more colours in the future. 

Now,  I've never been sure about lipstick and what colours suite me best so I've always stuck to pinks and my two newest additions to my make-up bag are no exception. However, these two are slightly more vibrant than I've ever bought before. 

Left 6-Sugar Pink
Right 8-Sweet Tart 

Top is 8-Sweet Tart, bottom is 6-Sugar Pink

I bought Collection 2000's Volume sensation in 6-Sugar Pink and Collection 2000's Lasting colour 8-Sweet Tart. These were relatively cheap, and at superdrug were buy one get one half price when I purchased these two(which helped A LOT because I couldn't decide which colour I liked more, so bought them both, hey why not!). But they're really vibrant and are long lasting, even more so if you use a primer before hand. But I quite like these, they're not really everyday colours but are super for nights out and occasions. 

I have always used Clinique's even better skin if I was wearing liquid foundation, and I've never really tried or bought anything else. On a day to day basis I prefer to wear just powder and concealer. 

Left Rimmel London BB Cream Matte
Middle Stay Matte Primer
Right Pro Base Fixing Mist

 However after trying the Rimmel London BB Cream, Beauty Balm, Matte I had to purchase it(I had a little sample of it, which I tried and was quite impressed with, plus I wasn't allergic to it!) Then when I went to buy it at Tesco they had a three for two offer on(as previously mentioned) which made the purchase even better! I bought the BB cream itself, in light and the Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer. The primer has the texture a lot like a moisturiser but sinks into the skin really quickly. The bottle says it can be used alone, under make-up or over make-up which means it's pretty versatile. It does work quite well under make-up as a base for the BB cream and does keep the skin looking fresh for the best part of the day!

 The BB cream is a good colour, easy to blend and does match my skin pretty well, however if it's not rubbed in properly it can look slightly orange. It sits well on the skin though and does last a reasonable part of the day. So I'm pretty happy with this purchase and have worn it everyday since purchasing it last week! 

Left Stay Matte Primer
Right Rimmel London BB Cream Matte

The last thing I wanted to share was the MUA Pro-base fixing mist, which I've pretty much spoke in every post I've ever written about make-up, ooops. But this was a re-buy of a product I really like! You just spray it over your make-up to set it for the day. As far as I'm aware it works pretty well for me, put that could just be my mind playing tricks, but hey I think it works pretty well! 

So there you are; thanks for reading and hope this was helpful/interesting :-)

P.S. I need some help; I'm looking for an everyday lipstick/gloss and a really good liquid eyeliner, so if anyone's got any recommendations let me know in the comments/twitter(which is below!) Thank you lovelies!

Weight Loss Wednesday

Well well well...two missed weeks. Ever so sorry but if anyone's read the post I put up yesterday they'll know I've been super super busy! BUT in the past few weeks of not posting a WLW post I have actually been living realllllly healthy. So healthy infact I managed to loose 2 pounds in the time I've been away!

I thought I'd share a few meal ideas I've been eating over the past few weeks; I'm trying to eat a low carbohydrate and high protein diet; 

Classic pasta salad, brown pasta of course 

Fry up only nothing was fried(except the mushrooms)

 

Chinese stir fry with soy sauce and garlic sauce, egg noodles and home made burgers

My new favourite breakfast/pudding
 natural low fat yogurt and a hand full of tropical mix(dried bananas, coconut, raisins, papaya.) 

Hope this maybe gives some food inspiration for any who need it!

P.s. How motivational is my work out shirt??

 

Happy 100th and a little update!

Wooo, so this is my 100th post onto my little blog, aw! (and it's nearly its 1st birthday too!)

And in true Just a little blog fashion its a little apology/update post! 

So apologies first for not blogging for a while, but life is super super busy to get chance to sit and upload pictures and write an actual post. But I have been taking pictures for posts in the past few weeks so I've got several posts ready and waiting! Its half term so I have a little bit of time to sit and write some posts around the ten tonnes of revision I've got to do, damn exams. 

But in all seriousness I do actually miss writing posts when I can't get chance to sit and write. Anywaaaay

Little update time. College is getting tough but there's less than 10 weeks until all the exams will be over, yay and I'll be done with college forever. Then its uni in September,  but I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. So for the next few weeks posts will either be scheduled or few and far between, which sucks but I need to concentrate on these exams. I'm going to try my very best! 

My baby cousin turns 16 tomorrow...which is so so scary. As much as I love seeing how shes growing up I just wish time would slow down a bit. Having said that I am only two years older than her....but its still scary.

I'm also at 10 weeks and 5 days until I jet off to find some glorious sun and temperatures. 

I've also been taking pictures over the past few weeks and just wanted to share a few with you; just sums my few weeks up really; 

There's been a lot of friend time, healthy eating, mothers day celebrations and in what little spare time I've had mini pamper evenings with lush and mini eggs of course!

Hope everyone's well, thanks for reading :-)

An outfit I'm loving

I just thought I'd share my current favourite outfit with you all!

Basically its a cute little chiffon type material floral dress which is elasticated around the waist with an over sized baby pink cardigan.
Both are from primark, the dress was £10 and the cardigan was £13 I think. Either way I love them and they suite being put together in one outfit.

I'm still wearing dresses with wooly tights because I'm not brave enough to leave the house with thinner ones on yet. Wimp I know.

The sleeves are short aswell, which means I'll be able to wear this into the summer months aswell!

 A full length look at the outfit! No shoes you might notice though. I just wear plain black ballet pumps or little brown studded ballet pumps from New look.

My make-up was pretty minimal; N07 mascara, collection concealer, Clinique Matte invisible powder and mememe shimmer stack blusher. (Twp of these I spoke about in my last favourites post current favourites post and powder I last spoke about here; travel make-up bag I'm yet to speak about the blush, that'll be soon I'm sure! Look at me linking everything.)

Hope everyone's okay!

Spring has sprung

Happy Sunday to you all!
This week we've had some decent weather in Blackpool so I've been on a few walks and taken my camera with me and snapped a few shots. It amazes me that there are places which look so pretty literally at the bottom of my street, it makes me excited for the summer and spending more time outside!

I just wanted to share a few of the pictures I have taken, on here.

My week(s) in pictures

This post has got nearly 3 weeks of pictures in...well done for regularly blogging Hannah. 

Anyways I have had a super busy but super exciting few weeks!

Me being me didn't put the pictures in any sort of order, round of applause for me.

The two pictures of my dog- I've spent a lot of time at home in my spare time these past few weeks and alot of that time has been spent with my dog. The two pictures are just two of many I've taken these past few weeks but these two just make me laugh.

The two artsy nature pictures- Look at that photography work. This week the weathers been quite nice so I've gone on a few walks with my dad and the dog. Whilst out on these walks I've snapped these two pictures which I'm quite happy with(I'm going to blog a few more of the pictures I've taken soon in a post!)

The random picture of 3 letters on a page- Just after Christmas we had mock exam week at college and these were my results, they were a huge huge surprise when I got the piece of paper because I thought my exams had gone rubbish, so now its time to knuckle down and get tonnes of revision done ready for the summer exams, eeek!

The purple-y picture of a man- This is one of very few decent pictures I took at the Rizzle Kicks concert I went to a few weeks ago! Me and two friends spent the day queuing in the freezing cold but it was all worth it as we were front row and had an amazing time! If anyone gets a chance to see Rizzle Kicks you defiantly must go!

Jillian Michaels fitness DVD- If anyone has read my most recent Weight Loss Wednesday post(which is here btw... WLW post) they'll know that I'm currently loving these two DVD's and have spent the past three weeks doing the exercises on and off in an attempt to live healthier! I defiantly recommend these two if anyone who is looking for exercise DVD's!

So there we go, a mini round up of my life these past few weeks!

Weight Loss Wednesday

I am forever missing weeks with my weight loss Wednesdays posts recently! I'm terrible I know but life is crazy busy and sometimes things have to give for a little while...I'm sorrrrry! 

But aside from the apologies these past two weeks have been ultra motivated and I've been hitting goals left right and centre! I've taken up more exercise, wahoo for me, drank tonnes more water and even lost a pound! So altogether I'm super motivated now to carry on!

These past two weeks my motivation has come from realisation as to how close my holiday is; 14 weeks to go, eeek! I know it sounds like ages away but its really not! I read a post this week on instagram about how it takes about a month (If I remember correctly because I can't find the post now!) for you to notice changes in your own body, around 2 months for your family and close friends to notice changes and then 12 weeks for others to notice!  This just made me realise that I need to knuckle down and get living an even healthier lifestyle because it doesn't just happen over night! I've also purchased a very very pretty bikini for my holiday and at the moment don't feel confident to wear it but my goal is to be able to feel at least 70% confident in wearing it for my holiday! 

I'm also changing up how I 'diet', if that's what you call what I do. I've decided to cut carbs and increase exercise, both cardio and strength. I'm already enjoying Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD, which I've been doing on and off for about 3 weeks (As well as her Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism DVD), so I'm going to carry on doing those. I'm a huge apple product lover and always have my iphone with me and my ipad's always around when I'm at home. So I've downloaded a couple of apps to help me do some extra mini workouts and toning exercises; I've gone with an App called '7M workout' which does exactly as its name would suggest and another called 'six pack' which has loads of short set toning exercises. Plus it sends a notification to remind you to work out, which is really handy! And they're both free!

So that's what I'm going to be doing for the next 14 weeks! Well I'm going to use the next two weeks as a bit of an introduction as my mum's on holiday and wants to do it with me but as soon as she arrives home we'll be hitting the new plan hard, for 12 solid weeks before we go away! I'm super excited!!

Thanks for reading, I hope everyone's still doing well and enjoying whatever they're doing to stay healthy, leave me your links and I'll check your posts out, I love reading other peoples tips and stories!

Weight Loss Wednesday

Now then. This post will have to be half apologies and half motivational.

I must first of all apologies for the missing post last week; I was ill YET AGAIN so both had no motivation to eat well and exercise or in all honesty write a blog post. It really took all the energy out of me. But not to worry the illness has gone and healthy living is back, woo!

I'm feeling extra motivated now as well, I used these last two weeks as a little break 1-because I was ill and 2-because I wasn't at college and had a lot of things going on. Now before you all think 'that's cheating' blar blar blar, I know it is but when I'm lacking as much motivation as I was after being ill, having a little rest to regain motivation is just what I need. I still did some exercise and ate some of the right things, but I let the carbs creep back into my diet. It's harder to eat properly and fit in exercise (I find anyway) when the weeks regular timetable is taken away; like in college half term. Not having a schedule for each day which I have to stick to just makes me think being lazy is okay...which it is for a little bit. The little break and step back from a schedule helps me to realise that I need the schedule and all that comes with it to help me feel better in myself. Motivation is therefore no problem when it comes to restarting the normal schedule. 

So my advice to you all, feeling unmotivated? Take a little break, one day, two days, a week, two weeks, one meal, however long you feel is necessary to regain some motivation. You'll see just how much your body needs and wants to live healthier. Plus a little bit of what you fancy does you good! So if you fancy being lazy for a few days, go for it! 

That's just a little tip from me to you all...It always works for me! 

Hope this helped; let me know! Have a good week:-)
