We all love a good Black Friday deal and it is a great time to stock up on your beauty favourites. I often wait till this time of year to get my everyday essentials I tend to repurchase a lot, or to try new things I've had in my basket for a while. Here are some great deals from some of my favourite brands, with up to 30% off!

My Summer Beauty Favourites

AD/gifted: This post included gifted products and affiliate links

It's that time of the year again, when I share my Summer beauty favourites. Some are new to my routine and some have been mentioned already and repurchased. There aren't many makeup products on my face lately, as I've been keeping it very simple and letting my natural skin glow, so it's all about skincare and SPF these days.

New in: Miu Miu MU52SS sunglasses

This post contains a gifted product/PR sample.

I have a soft spot for pretty designer sunglasses and I have quite a few pairs, but the latest addition to my collection is my favourite yet. I wasn't too sure if I would like this kind of frame, but I am a complete convert and I haven't taken the Miu Miu MU52SS* babies off my head since the day I got them.

A few of my current favourites (ad/gifted)

I've been very quiet lately, but as you might know, we have moved house recently and it's been very hectic. We're mostly settled now, but there's still plenty of bits and bobs we have to finish. I'm finding my rhythm and hopefully I can get back to my normal routine with the help of some Spring sunshine. I have neglected many areas of my life during the house move, but I'm trying to practice more self care and enjoy the little things. On that note... I would love to share a few things, which bring me joy at the moment.

(AD/Guest Post) Interior Tips: Art Deco

AD/GUEST POST

With so many things to consider when giving your home a face lift, it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what you want the end product to look like. Do you want a classic look throughout? Maybe a more modern feel, or an amalgamation of the two? 

Even then there are so many styles and finishes to consider that it can be overwhelming. If you’re looking for some guidance, here we talk through the art deco interior essentials for your kitchen, living room and bedroom. 

Art deco was the predominant decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s. Characterized by bold geometric shapes and strong colours that remain so popular in today’s homes, if that sounds like a bit of you, then keep reading!

Valentine's Day in lockdown (AD/gifted)

This post contains gifted items (AD/GIFTED) and affiliate links

Let's be honest... Valentine's Day during a global pandemic is not something I ever thought I would experience, but we've now celebrated birthdays, our 10 year anniversary and more during lockdown, so I'm used to it at this point, haha. I actually love Valentine's Day, even more now as a mum, because I always prepare a fun Valentine's Day breakfast for the kids too, pancakes, heart shaped toppings and lots of fresh cream, hot chocolates and cute decorations everywhere. This year the plan is the same and for me and Scott, it will be some lovely gin cocktails and a candlelit dinner maybe, if the kids let us, haha. I was kindly sent a few gifts from Moonpig to make our Valentine’s Day even more special and I’m really looking forward to having a low key lockdown celebration. 

How to stay motivated and on track with daily workouts

Hi everyone! Long time no... blog?  Haha. I know, I know... I haven’t blogged at all in 2020, but I’m forgiven, right? Pandemic and all... If you follow me on Instagram, you might already know that I dedicated the whole of 2020 to self care, fitness and working on myself. It was blissful! I trained to climb Ben Nevis and I did it in September and it was the best feeling ever! In the process, I lost 120lbs and I look like a different person (well, like myself 10 years ago), but this is not about weightloss. And guess what? That’s the key to changing your mindset! Let me give you all the tips for staying consistent, finding motivation and moving your body for reasons other than weightloss!
