Mini Life Update

Hello everyone,

I haven't done a post like this in a while and I thought it might be nice to give you all a little update on where I am at with life at the moment. So, grab a biscuit, wrap yourself in a blanket and enjoy this mini life update.

January 2017 Favourites

Hello everyone,
for today's post I thought I would bring back a good old mini favourites haul. I personally love watching people talk about theirs on YouTube and also reading about them on certain blogs, so I thought it would be a nice lil post for me to get back into the swing of this blogging thing.
If you want to know some of the things that I've been loving since the New Year then just keep on reading!

Makeup Revolution Retro Luxe Matte Lip Kits: Review

Hello everyone,
I am finally back with my first proper post of 2017 (thanks to a broken laptop, lack of camera cable and a lot of screaming). What better way for me to begin the year than by writing up a review for a new product from my favourite makeup brand, which also happens to be my first beauty purchase of 2017!
I had been seeing the Retro Luxe Matte lipsticks all over Instagram and it was a clear that the hype was massive. I searched my local Superdrug, to which Revolution are exclusive, and found myself being unlucky in purchasing any of them! Everyday, someone new was posting all about how amazing these products were, and thanks to a little searching through the comments on posts, I found that the lipsticks were in fact on the Superdrug site, and given a spending ban I have placed myself on, I picked up only one shade in the range.

2017 Goals

Hello everyone,
at the start of 2016 I wrote a post regarding all of the hopes I had for the year. Generally I steer clear of 'resolutions' because I think it's a given that they never work out. Goals are just kind of things you can begin to work on, in my opinion, and don't necessarily have to be completely done and dusted once the year ends. Before I jump into my goals for this year, I want to take a look back on those I put in my 2016 post, and evaluate just how well they worked out!

2016 Favourites

Hello everyone,
Happy New Year! I must begin by apologising for the fact my 12 Days of Blogmas didn't get completed due to illness and work, I am sorry for that and hope that this forthcoming Christmas will be better!
I know we all want 2016 to RIP (that's rest in *broken* pieces) but I thought it would be nice if my first post of the New Year was a little summary of all the things I loved in 2016. I was going to make this a YouTube video but I am just very lazy and very busy atm and I really wanted to get this up before 2018! So here it is, my ultimate favourites from 2016:

12 Days of Blogmas: The Worst of 2016

'On the last day of blogmas my true love said to me, let's leave all this BS in 2016!' 

Hello everyone.
I don't want to put a downer on my blog but it is pretty safe to say that 2016 was the definition of poop and other synonyms.
A lot of sad, bad and heart breaking things happened this year. I know you probably don't need reminding but I just thought I would list the worst of the worst, and hopefully we can leave horrible things like these behind as we approach the new year!

12 Days of Blogmas: The Best of 2016

'On the 11th day of blogmas, my true love gave to me, the best moments from 2016!'

Hello everyone.
Today's post is a little different. 2016 has been a bit of a rollercoaster for most of the world; from presidential debates to the countless celebrity deaths. I am saving all the bad moments for tomorrow's post because today, I want to focus on all the small but positive things 2016 gave us.
From things which made the entire world smile, to little things that happened in my life, here are some things that made 2016 one of the best years:

12 Days of Blogmas: My Sound of 2016

'On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a music favourites of 2016'

Hello everyone,
if you have been reading my blog for a while, you may recall that I wrote something like this last year. Music is just a constant favourite in my life, and I assume, all of yours too. I wanted to share my favourite songs, albums and shows that I've been to in 2016, without further ado, let's go!

12 Days of Blogmas: The Christmas Tag

Hello everyone,
it's CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
I hope you all are sipping a glass of bucks fizz, stuffing yourself with cheese pretzels and wearing cosy, Christmas knits.
I thought today's post would be something small and easy to read, so without further ado, here is my Christmas Tag:

12 Days of Blogmas: Tis the Season to Give Back

'On the sixth day of Blogmas my true love gave to me, a reminder that life isn't always a dream'

Hello everyone.
We are officially halfway through blogmas, which is so COOL. Can you believe that I managed to think of twelve festive posts?
Today I wanted to dwell on the fact that holidays, whichever you may celebrate or enjoy, can be a difficult time for some. There may be people who are lonely, living rough or simply cannot afford to celebrate. It is so saddening to me, that in 2016, there is still a huge need for donations of good will. It's been estimated that in the UK alone, around 25,000 young people will be sleeping rough over Christmas, whilst 1 in 6 people find it to be the loneliest time of the year.
Now, this post isn't encouraging you to donate hundreds of thousands of pounds, but to show that there are some really small, simple ways you can help someone this holiday season.
