Cosy Evening Routine

I love cosy evenings and I have them a lot. I have them more in winter and Autumn but I still have them in spring and summer so I thought I would do a cosy evening routine as its still quite cold outside and cosy inside. 

1. Run a Bath

Firstly, I start a hot bath running and whilst it is running, I get all the products I’m going to use ready and my towel and pyjamas ready. I also light some candles in my bathroom.

2. Have a Pamper Session

Next I have a pamper session where I put something like bubble bath or a bath bomb in the bath, use a scrub, use a shower gel and put a face mask on. I then put body butter on and moisturise my face.

3. Put My Pyjamas On

Then I put my comfy pyjamas on and my cosy socks on (which I absolutely love) and get comfy.

4. Get Snacks

Next I get some unhealthy, delicious snacks like sweets, chocolate, popcorn or ice cream and take it up to my room.

5. Watch YouTube, Netflix or a Film

Spring Cleaning Checklist!

Ahh it’s spring! The sun shines, baby animals are born and flowers bloom. I love spring and it makes me so happy that it’s finally here. I know we all hate cleaning. Well I actually like cleaning and yes I know that sounds weird but I hate mess and when things are clean and tidy it makes me happier and makes me feel like I have control of everything. I would literally tidy people’s houses for them. It’s time for spring cleaning and I love having a spring clean as it makes everything clean and fresh. Today I am going to give you a spring cleaning checklist for your bedrooms which you can use to do your spring cleaning.

1. Throw Your Stuff Out

Firstly, you must throw your old stuff out. Throw away clothes you don’t wear anymore, throw away stuff you don’t use or need and put rubbish on the bin. Put the clothes you don’t wear or that don’t fit anymore in charity bags.

2. Sort It Out

Put the stuff you are keeping in drawers or cupboards and keep it all tidy!

3. Clean 

Wipe down surfaces, wash the windows and dust everywhere. Make sure everywhere is clean and dust free. Also clean your things like ornaments too as they will probably be dusty.

4. Vacuum & Mop

Get the vacuum out and hoover your floors and then mop the floors. It makes a big difference!

5. Change It Around

It can feel so refreshing to change around your room. You don’t have to buy anything new. Maybe just a lick of paint or just moving around the furniture can feel so nice to have a change. You could just move around the things on your shelves or bookcases.

6. Change Your Bedding

Strip the bed and put some new fresh sheets on the duvet and pillow. Everyone loves fresh sheets!

7. Burn a Fragrance

Either burn a candle or maybe a wax melt. Alternatively, you could spray a room spray or plug in a febreeze. Getting a nice scent around the room can make it feel so much cleaner. I’d reccomend burning a fresh scent so you have that clean feeling in the room. I like seaside smells as they are so fresh.

Review On Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation & Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

About a month ago, I bought the Rimmel Colour Match Perfection Foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I have tried them out a few times and thought I would do a review. Everyone raves about these two products but it’s true they are very good.

Rimmel Colour Match Perfection Foundation: 

This foundation looks so natural on the skin and traceless. Mine is in the shade Light Porcelain 010 which is the lightest shade. It is £7.99. It blends really well and looks good on the skin. It is light coverage which is what I like as I don’t want full coverage and it feels weightless on the skin. I haven’t worn it for a long period of time so I can’t guarantee that it lasts as long as it says it does. Overall, I would give this product a 9/10.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer:

Everyone has this concealer as its so good. Mine is in the lightest shade Fair 1 which is a perfect match for my skin tone. It is £4.19. It is brightening under the eyes and good for concealing under eye circles, spots and blemishes. It blends really well and is traceless and looks natural on the skin. Overall I would give this product a 8/10.

How To Make Fairy Cakes

I am always making fairy cakes as I love them so much and they are easy to make so today I thought I’d share the recipe with you.

Ingredients:

100g (3½ oz) self-raising flour

1tsp baking powder

100g (3½ oz) soft margarine or butter, at room temperature

100g (3½ oz) caster sugar

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1tbsp milk (optional)

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C (355°F, gas mark 4). Take a 12-cup bun tin and put paper cases in the cups. Sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder.

Add the butter or margarine, sugar and eggs, and beat with an electric hand whisk for about 2 mins until well mixed. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little milk and mix again.

Divide the mixture evenly between the cake cases to about half full. Bake for 15 -20 mins until risen and just firm.

Cool slightly, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ice and decorate the cakes – be as adventurous as you like! I chose mini marshmellows and hundreds and thousands.

February Favourites

I’ve got a February favourites post for you today and although I don’t have as many as last month, I still have a few favourites this month to share with you.

1. Riverdale TV Show

I love this series so much! It is an ongoing series right now and I’m loving it. A new episode comes out every Friday and I get so excited to watch it. It’s so good and gripping. I would highly reccomend.

2. Reign TV Show

This TV show is incredible! It’s quite old from like 2013 but I started watching it this month and it’s so good. I am addicted and also kind of in love with Bash in this series. I reccomend this TV show so much!

 3. Girl Online 3 Book

I LOVE THIS BOOK! This whole book series is so good and I’m so sad it’s over. I loved all the characters and I feel such a connection for this series. I felt like I could relate to Penny a lot which made me enjoy the book more. I feel so lost without this book, I want more books!!

4. Rimmel Colour Match Perfection Foundation

I know everyone raves about this foundation but it’s true it is amazing. It’s £7.99. Mine is in the lightest shade light porcelain because I am quite possibly the most pale person alive. It blends really well and looks really good on the face. It also feels weightless as its a light coverage foundation.

This is a concealer everyone uses but it’s so good and gives really good coverage. It blends really well. It’s £4.19 and mine is in the shade Fair 1.

Self Confidence

Self confidence. We all wish we had more of this. We all wish we could leave the house, feeling confident in every aspect of our bodies. The reality is that we don’t all feel confident with our bodies. Most of us don’t. There’s always something we wish we could change about the way we look. I’m going to discuss general self confidence and my own issues.

I’m going to be honest on this blog post. I am underweight. The NHS has told me I am underweight. This is something I have always been self conscious about. I hate my little wrists, my obvious rib cage, boney body and my collar bone that sticks out. I have problems putting on weight even though I eat loads ( and I mean LOADS!) It’s just something I am quite uncomfortable with. I have always had jokes like being called twig and stick insect and boney. I recently I had a boy tell me that he could see right through me because I am so skinny and making comments like this. This is not okay. Calling someone for being underweight is just as bad as calling someone for being overweight and this is what people need to understand. The boy didn’t understand why I was so wound up by what he had said and I think that is awful. People should realize how offensive it is to call someone for their weight. Under or over weight. For all he knows I could have an eating disorder and what he said would of really damaged me and people just don’t think this through before they make comments and jokes about someone being really skinny.

Of course we are all going to be self conscious about some things. I’m self conscious about the way my weight makes me look, my pale complextion, my teeth, my veins are obvious and I hate my eyebrows so much. We are never going to be completely comfortable with ourselves but in reality no one is noticing these things you don’t like except you and if they do say something then don’t listen because they are probably self concisous too.

I want everyone to focus on things they like about the way they look. Be positive and don’t care what other people think. You are beautiful and we should all be more confident and accept the way we look.I want you all to comment two things that you like about the way you look. I like my freckles and my hazel eyes. Go on all do it! I hope you liked this post!

Personal Goals!

I know I have done a New Years resolutions post but them goals were what I wanted to focus on this year whereas these are gonna be my own personal goals without any time limit. These are just things I always want to be working for and more long term.

1. Spend time on photography!

I absolutely love photography and I enjoy taking photos so much and I want to really improve it and spend time on it as I love it so much.

2. Work on my anxiety!

Anxiety is something I really struggle with and I have finally decided to do something about it and find ways of calming myself down. I’m sick of it taking over my life and causing melt downs and it’s not something I just want to put up with anymore. Of course it’s not something I can just get rid off but I want to try and work on it best I can.

3. Become a healthy weight!

As I’ve said in my ‘ self confidence’ post, I am underweight and would like to change that and become a healthy weight as obviously under weight isn’t good and I should be a healthy weight so I want to try and work on that.

4. Learn a new language.

Now wait a minute. I’m not saying I’m going to learn a language until I’m 100% fluent but I want to learn a lot more of French. I already do French at school and I am taking it for GCSE but I want to learn extra French at home by using an app/website called duolingo. I’ve talked about it in detail on my ‘apps I’m loving’ post.

5. Just say yes & stay positive.

As I’ve talked about many times, I have anxiety which can sometimes hold me back from doing fun things and pushing myself out my comfort zone. I want to leave 2017 feeling like I’ve accomplished things, had amazing experiences and made the most out of it. As well as that, I want to try and always stay positive and approach everything with the right mindset.
