A Winter Berry Mix Smoothie...

I can't actually believe that its been the first week in January already, time certainly flies by!! 

Anyway, as you all know I have become pretty obsessed with Tumblr and Instagram photos that are posted as they inspire me so much and I just love sharing my favourite ones with you all!! 

Just because Christmas is over, it doesn't actually mean that Winter is over and done with yet as Winter actually finishes on the 21st of March!! So Scott and I thought we would create a little Winter Berry Mix Smoothie, which my nan loved as she ate the rest before we went back for seconds...

Tip 1) All you have to do is choose the fruit or products that you want to  use!! If you want to follow what Scott and I used then all you will need is the following: 

1) Berries, - we bought a berry mix from Waitrose as we found it a lot cheaper than buying each individual fruit. 

2) A banana, if you like you could use more than one banana it depends how strong you want your smoothie.

3) Yoghurt - we used a peach yoghurt as that's my favourite type of yoghurt but again it depends on what you would like. 

4) Vanilla Ice cream - adding a two little scoops of ice cream creates the perfect thickness and icy-ness to your smoothie!! 

5) A big bowl - in order to blend your products together.

6) Blender - make sure you have a blender or an actual smoothie maker... 

 

Step 1) Blend your berries together until you make almost a sauce like texture. 

Step 2) Then simply chop the banana into pieces and blend away until the banana disappears.  

Step 3) Add 3 or 4 big spoons of yoghurt and mix again.

Step 4) To add a little sweetness simply add 2 or 3 spoons of sugar and mix it all together. 

Step 5) Before, finishing your winter berry mix add one 1 or 2 scoops of ice cream.

Step 6) Then simply find some desert dishes and get ready to eat or drink your delicious winter berry mix smoothie... 

I hope you have fun making your smoothie desert!! 

Much Love, Anya Marie xx

A Balmain Inspired Outfit 😍

A Balmain Inspired Outfit 😍 by anyaaa04 featuring a pink purse

Good Evening Everyone, 

I couldn't resist creating a Balmain inspired outfit to open the year with as we can take a little look back into 2015 and remember the beautiful collection!! 

I must admit, I had so much fun piecing this outfit set together as Balmain is such a beautiful collection I definitely had fun playing around with what looks amazing with the Balmain dress!! I find the dress so stunningly beautiful, don't you? It's to die for!!

With the dress already making such a beautiful and bold statement, I thought it would be 
perfect to pair the dress with a pair of black and gold platforms as it blends nicely with dress!! 

I've chosen to dress the dress down a tad little bit as it already looks amazing and only needs a little touch to add a little sass and class to the dress which is why I have paired a nice nude simplistic gold pearled clutch as it blends nicely with the dress! 

In terms, of make-up I would most definitely suggest to glam this look up and get out all of your make-up as it's going to need as much of a glam look as possible!! I would definitely say, gold is the way forward or silver but I would personally go for a gold and bronzey look for this dress as it will also match your shoes and bag!!

Are you going to be naughty or nice? The decision is all yours, will you choose the light pinky or dark red lipstick?

I have had so much fun creating a Polyvore set as it's been a while since I last posted one for you all and I hope you've enjoyed having a little peep into what I find fashionable again! 

Much Love, Anya Marie xx

My January Monthly Products...

I know it's definitely early to be posting this blog already but these picks of mine are products that I absolutely adore and it's only been five days in January!! 

As you all know I love changing my products regularly and trying new things so the saying 'out with the old and in with the new' of course came to mind ... 



Maybelline's Master Sculpt Contour Kit - So I actually can't leave the house without using this product at the moment it's definitely my daily routine to use this product! I use a light to medium shade as you all know I am very very pale which totally sucks!! Anyway, it's such a beautiful product to have as it's not too dark but it's just perfect and gives a perfect coverage. 



Revolution Pro Fix Make-up Fixing Spray - Wow so I actually seem to be lost for words with this amazing product!! I am actually so excited to have the opportunity to blog about it and share it with you guys!! I'm always moaning as my make-up never seems to stay like any other girls and it always makes me feel down about my appearance as I find myself reapplying my make-up. A few days ago, I popped into Superdrug after work hunting for something to help keep my make-up in place and a lovely lady there helped me discover this product and it works so well!! It holds my make-up well and leaves me feeling amazing!! Plus it's under £4.00 how amazing!! 



So this nail varnish has become one of my favourites I was bought it for Christmas from Beth and I absolutely love it!! She knows me so well ha-ha!! I love the colour and the name as it's called coral which is such a beautiful colour and certainly reminds me of the summer days!! 



Wow so I am such a lucky girl, my boyfriend's parents Bobbie and Steve bought me a Benefit's make-up selection box which is so stunning!! I love the design, it's gorgeous and the make-up is outstanding! Once again. a massive thank you to you both it's clear you know me well!! 



This has become my number one favourite mascara and it's definitely one of my most recommended mascaras for you all. I love the designing of the mascara isn't it eye catching? I can't express, how much I love this mascara though it's just perfect especially for an evening out but I seem to wear it no matter what the occasion is as it's beautiful and creates a natural look but also makes your eye lashes look extra long...!! You can't go wrong with a mascara which creates a longer lash look can you?



Now I have been dying to share this lipstick with you all! I think it's absolutely stunning, it's such a wonderful colour and I love buying new lipsticks and trying a slightly darker nude colour out!! When I got home, I happened to notice that the lipstick was called Coffee Craze and I initially panicked as I'm not a lover of coffee or the smell.. However, I fell in love with the smell just as much as the colour and it's become one of my most loved lipsticks. It leaves a lovely soft touch to your lips and is long lasting lipstick, I just love it and can't get enough of it!!



As you all know, I am a massive fan of other bloggers for example Tanya Burr and Zoella as they're both so inspirational to us all!! I love being able to buy their products as their products without a doubt are incredible! As you can see, I have fallen in love with Tanya Burr's Frosting Cupcakes nail polish as it's such a beautiful colour I just can't resist it!! 

Wow so that's another end to this months favourite products blog of mine and of course the first month of 2016 over and done with which I can't believe!! I hope you have all enjoyed reading what my favourite picks are!! 

Lots of love, Anya x

A New Years Quote & Favourite Photo's Of Mine...

Wow I can't believe that it's the first of January 2016 today!! It doesn't quite seem real yet, does it? Everything seems to be moving ever so quickly, it's hard to keep track of time as time seems to slip through our fingers!!  

I couldn't resist sharing some of my favourite photos that I have found when searching 'New Years' on my social media's!! There were so many amazing photos that have inspired me but I narrowed it down to three!! 

As last night was the end to a year and a new beginning as it's the start of a new year I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to share a favourite quote of mine which in actual fact is a quote that inspires me and motivates me throughout daily life.

Where can I start, during life there are a lot of options and choices that are waiting for you but there are many fears that we all have at the same time. Sometimes, we're all afraid to take a risk or to make a change as we become so used to a certain way that we live. 

I mean, I must admit I turn down a lot of opportunities as I'm afraid of change but it's become important to me to remember that everything we turn down is a missed opportunity. 

Why shouldn't you grab life with both hands? Why shouldn't you try out new things? Why should you miss out on opportunities that may never be offered to you again?

It's my  aim for this year to give everything my all, to take risks and to challenge myself. 

For example, I am terrified of heights but it's my aim to try to accomplish my fear as it will change me and you never know what opportunities are right around the corner.

Another example, is the fact that I hate the sound of my own voice and that's why I haven't attempted to create a vlog so hopefully my aim is to at least post one video where I am video blogging instead of writing my blogs for you all! 

Finally, I wish you all a Happy New Year for 2016!!!!

Lots of love, Anya xx
