New Years Resolutions

- New year's resolutions -
I know its a bit late, but we are still in January (just). So I thought this topic was still totally appropriate and a good way for me to give a bit more information about myself.
Even though I never usually stick to my resolutions, I’ve made a fair few this year. The first one is quite a big and expensive one.


    Moving out -
 Currently I live with my Mum and Sister, but my Boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 3 years now, and we’ve decided this year would be the year we move out. I don't know the first thing about house hunting, bills, or living on my own, so if anyone has any good advice it would be much appreciated!
 
 The second of my three resolutions is less expensive but equally scary for me.


   Blog -
I settled on doing a blog because it seems a lot less daunting than going straight to vlogs and having my face on the internet forever, so for now I'm happy to share my experiences, but from behind the comfort of my keyboard. The main reason for starting this blog is because I’d like to do something proactive with the things I enjoy; be it sharing it with others or having it noticed by people with the right contacts, I just like the idea of spending time working on something I enjoy doing, it will also give me a bit of a hobby because lately it feels like if i'm not at work then I’m usually just lounging around, not really doing much of anything.

My last resolution is the obvious one.


 Lose weight -
I'm not overweight but I am very heavy. I thought a new year would be a good excuse to start losing weight and eating more healthily. Around 2000 calories are naturally burned each day, so I'm doing this by just eating upto 1300 calories per day. Apparently the way it works is if you eat less than the daily recommended caloric intake (which is 2000), then you will gradually lose weight. Don't quote me on any of this though because I haven't actually done a lot of research on it, and I can't even remember where I heard it now but it seems to be working for me. If anyone does have any better methods however, then I am open to suggestions!
   Thank you for reading my first official blog post! If you have any big new year's resolutions or  methods on how to stick with them then feel free to share!

4 Steps to Clear Skin

-My 4 Step Nightly Skincare Routine- Hello! So today I’m going to share my 4-step nightly skincare routine that I’m sure gives me clear and almost poreless skin! I been using few Liz Earle products every night for over a year now and I swear by it. People often say to me how clear my skin looks and I suppose that’s partly just down to luck, I never really get any spots and I was fortunate enough to not suffer with acne in school, but it’s also down to the products I use and how I look after my skin. I tend to apply quite a bit of makeup during the day which means I need a good makeup remover to get it all off, so I use the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser, which brings me to my first step. -Step One- I generously apply the Liz Earle cleanser to my dry face on top of all my makeup while I fill up the sink with “hand hot” water. Then using one of the Liz Earle muslin cloths, I wash the cleanser off which brings all my makeup off too, rinsing the muslin cloth under the tap after ev

My Top 5 Makeup Tips

-My Life Saving Makeup Tips- As a makeup lover, I’m always trying new products and techniques but there are still little things that bother me, like the way concealer builds up into little lines beneath my eye, or when I accidentally touch my face with the mascara wand after doing a full face of makeup, so I’ve come up with 5 top tips to help up makeup amateurs (or pros)! -Tip One- Removing makeup mistakes Mascara is always the last thing I apply when doing my makeup in the morning, which makes my face more at risk of being ruined by the classic ‘poking myself in the eye and transferring the mascara to my bottom eyelid’, or just being clumsy and touching my face with a wand-full of mascara. I’ve mentioned Garnier’s Micellar water in a previous post and that I don’t really like to use it much, but it is good for getting rid of little mistakes like this one. I put a tiny bit of the micellar water on to a cotton bud and dab the area I want removed until it’s nearly gone (t

Magic Makeup Remover

-Magic Makeup Remover- I’m always interested in trying new beauty products and I love finding new things that work for me, so I subscribe to Birchbox (which is just a monthly subscription of different skincare and makeup products). In this months box I received something I've never heard of before so I thought it would be worth writing about it here. The the brand of the product is Afterspa which is new to me too, they describe this product as a magic makeup remover, so I was pretty interested in finding out more. Before I opened the packaging my initial thought was that it was going to be a little mitt, but when I opened it up it was a long oval piece of fluffy cloth, but I think I may have received a sample size so the full version probably is a mitt. I machine washed it first as instructed, because that's apparently what makes it work, according to the instructions (I’m not sure what the science behind it is). When I ran it under the tap I expected it be soapy a
