Travel Toiletries xo

 

Hey Guys!!

 

When going away for me my toiletries are the most important thing, I like to make sure I have everything that is essential and I won't take anything I don't need. I have a lot of toiletries so I tend to take things I am currently using or I will use things I don't usually use so my shower bag is always ready :)

 

I decided to take my Palmolive shower gel with Coconut as I've used that before and it smells so nice and refreshing :) I'm taking Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner as that is better for my hair at the moment, I get mine from Tesco. I'm taking a moisturiser this time to hopefully stop myself from peeling and also to keep my skin hydrated. The one I am taking is from Avon and is a Firming Moisturiser :) I've also got my trusty exfoliating glove and my face cloth :) Then of course my toothpaste, got to keep these teeth white :)

 

 

I know these are not quite toiletries but I pack them altogether :) I'm taking my Lacoste Touch of Pink and Far Away Gold for the evenings and might spritz some on in the day if we are going on an excursion or something. Then of course my trusty deodorants :) Dove 48 hour care and Impulse :)

 

 

Luckily all this then fits into this gorgeous, material toiletry bag I had for Christmas off Llewellyns' Mum and Dad. I was actually surprised it all fitted in there haha

 

Hope You've Enjoyed This Post!!

Travel Make Up xo

 

Hey Guys!!

 

Its not long now and I will be jetting off to sun kissed island, tanning it up on a beautiful beach :) But when the sun goes down and the evening kicks in we will probably be eating food out and about :) Of course that meant I needed to go through my make up collection and decide what I was going to take.

 

I decided not to take to much as it will be hot and I don't want to use to much make up and end up sweating it off!! So here is what I am taking :)

 

 

I decided instead of using my usual foundation, I've opted for BB Cream. The one I got is Solutions BB Cream with SPF15 from Avon Cosmetics, I got it in Shade Light as I don't have a dark complexion so it will be perfect :) I will use this if we go on day trips and also in the evenings :) I'm also taking my highlighting powder and bronzing powder which will be more for the evenings :) Both are from MUA in Superdrug.

 

 

For my eyes I am taking my usual Long Lasting Mascara in Black and ColorTrend Eyeliner in Black, both from Avon Cosmetics. I'm also taking my usual pencil eyeshadow in a Golden Brown also from Avon Cosmetics. The only new products I am taking is another eyeshadow pencil in Pink Diamond and an eyeshadow primer in Natural Beige :)

 

 

I'm getting out of my comfort zone here by taking lipsticks with me, I don't usually use them but there's nothing wrong with stepping out of your comfort zone a little. The one on the right is a Tinted Lip Care in Pink, I love the fact it comes in a gorgeous white tube :) The other one is a Matte Lipstick and is very natural looking as its more or less the same colour as my lips :) Both are from Avon Cosmetics.

 

 

Of course I can't not take my favourite summer shades, these are in Naked Truth, Sea Breeze and Suddenly Sunny. The Suddenly Sunny (yellow) I use on my toes and then I will swap and change between Naked Truth and Sea Breeze on my fingers.

 

 

Then the non-make up items I am taking are my All Over Face Brush, Angled Blush Brush and Foundation Brush all from Avon as you can see, I have to get a new Foundation Brush so the one pictured is probably not the one I will definitely be taking. Then I have my make up setting spray to keep all my make up in place, my Simple Facial Wipes to take said make up off at the end of the night and my gorgeous Audrey Hepburn compact mirror :)

 

Then as you can see in the title photo I will be taking it all in a pink plastic cosmetic bag :)

Kellys' Birthday Part 2 xo

Hey Guys!!

 

So here we are at Part 2 :) The week after Kellys' actual Birthday (26th July) we both went on a night out in some of our local night clubs. It was a really good night, I don't condone any drinking unless your old enough, there was lots of drinks flowing and definitely lots of dancing. I literally have felt like I have done 6 hours in the gym!!

 

I got ready at Kellys' and then we went to our local Breeze, tends to be our start off point, where Kelly had reserved a table and we had 2 bottles of champagne and some shots. Then we moved onto another club called Lloyds where there was a lot of dancing we literally didn't stop ha ha Then went to another local called Rift & Co, previously Revolution. I have never had such a good night like that for ages but I will leave you now with some pictures!!

 

 Its ok this was before we went out, we didn't take Bethan, she just wanted to pose :)

Kellys' Birthday Part 1 xo

 

Hey Guys!!

 

Two weeks ago (20th July) we had another Birthday in the family to celebrate and this time it was Kellys' :) For her Birthday Martyn hired a Hot Tub for her, they had it from the Saturday night, all day Sunday until about 5pm Monday, can't go wrong for that amount of time!!

 

It was gorgeous, the bubbles were so relaxing and the temperature was just right :) It was a family affair as we were all over there to celebrate with a BBQ also :)

 

Here are some pictures from the evening :)

 

 

There's not many pictures as I was in the Hot Tub quite a while ha ha but I hope you've enjoyed this short little post and keep your eyes peeled for Part 2 :)

 

See You Soon!!

 



Outfit Of The Day: 20th July xo

Hey Guys!!

 

As you seen from my previous post I went to help Mum on her stall, which you can read about HERE!! So I thought I would share with you what I wore and also how I had my hair as I tried out a new style :) I was getting a bit bored with just putting it in a pony all the time.

 

You have probably seen this in an Outfit post before, maybe, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. My strapped top is just a nice, thin, cotton material and I got this from Primark a while ago. Also with this top underneath is elastic so that you got a bit of extra support :) I paired with it my Red Wine coloured skater skirt, which is a bit heavier in the material and also a bit thicker, but I love it!! I actually had this for Christmas so I don't actually know where its from, I think Amazon. I also wore my black espadrilles but they're not pictured.

 

 

As I said above I wanted to do something different with my hair and decided to try out a Milkmaid Braid, my Mum finds the name of it funny!! My hairs not quite long enough that it completely meets in the middle but its not far off. Its quite easy to do, you just plait your hair in pigtails then lift one over to the left and pin it, then the other one over to the right and pin it. I must say I felt so cool having my hair like this as it was all off the back of my neck and it was lovely. If you would actually like to see a picture tutorial on this I can do that for you, just let me know in the comments :)

 

I Hope You Enjoyed This Post!!

Newport Fun Day xo

Hey Guys!!

 

On Sunday 20th, I went to help my Mum with her stall at the Newport Fun Day. She started her little business before Christmas last year, she makes gift baskets, sweet cones and all different things for many different occasions. There was lots going on at this fun day, there was a football match, lots of other stalls, and also some dance groups were there.

 

The Fun Day was to raise money for a local family.

 

It was a gorgeous day and we did get a little sunburnt, even though we put spf30 on. I didn't take many pictures as we were selling bits here and there :) But here are the ones I did take :)

 

My Lovely Mother



If you want to take a look at all the different things she does you can take a look at her Facebook page HERE!!

My Holiday Reading xo

 

Hey Guys!!

 

As you know me and my lovely husband are off on holiday!! Obviously I have a whole new wardrobe, ooppss!! But of course the most important thing for my holiday is the books I am going to read.

 

I love reading as you know and I read a lot on a holiday either by the pool, on the beach or on my balcony (if we have one). The books I have chosen to take is Monday to Friday Man by Alice Peterson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.

 

The Blurb

 

What do you do if you're 34, single and recovering from being jilted two weeks before your wedding day? This is the dilemma Gilly Brown finds herself in. While friends are marrying, having children and moving into the depths of the countryside, Gilly finds herself alone in London and holding on to her fractured family with their tragic past.

It's time to meet new people. So, she decides to get a Monday to Friday lodger, and after a succession of alarming interviews finally finds the perfect one in the shape of handsome reality television producer Jack Baker. Gilly falls for Jack's charm and is transported into an exciting social whirlwind of parties, dining out and glamour.

When Jack is introduced to Gilly's family and friends, it's only the attractive and eccentric Guy, the newest recruit to her dog-walking group, who isn't quite so convinced about Jack's intentions. As Guy watches them grow closer, his suspicions of Jack and his feelings for Gilly deepen. Is Jack so perfect after all... and what exactly does he get up to at the weekends?

 

The Blurb

 

Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

 

The Blurb

 

"I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once."

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

 

I really can't wait to read all 3 of these books :) I have actually borrowed The Fault In Our Stars off my sister Chloe, where you can visit HERE. She did warn me that I might cry reading it so will keep my sunglasses on just in case!! I like that 2 of the books I'm reading are popular so I have an idea about what they will be like, but what's great is I don't know anyone that has read Monday to Friday Man so I don't know what to expect :)

 

I will let you all know in another post what I think of these books!!

 

See You Soon!!
