Be Confident In Being You...

Dear Followers, 

I thought I would open this blog differently... I have to be honest with you all, it's taken me a while to write this blog as I have tried to make it stand out as much as possible as leaving every single of you who reads this blog feeling confident within themselves is my soul aim! 

I would like to leave you all feeling confident in being you. To smile at the flaws you think you have because trust me they aren't flaws at all. Your simply beautiful! It's time to believe that! 

Since society today is expanding each and every single day on the online world... We all have become less confident, I would say this is a fair comment to make! 

We all feel anxious about what we post online or the way we style our hair or the size of our hips in the mirror selfie you've just posted on Instagram... The list is truly endless!... 

Why do we care? Why do we care that we aren't sick thin or that we don't have curves like Khloe Kardashian? Or we don't have sparkling white teeth like Ryland?! Does it matter? 

I don't think it does! You're you and trust me your beautiful! 

Although, ladies and gents you have to believe it before the world see's it! 

Why bother pondering on posting a selfie online? Just do it! Trust me, you'll be surprised at how many people like your post because it's you but also because you aren't afraid of sharing your imperfections! Little do you know, your more perfect than you think! 

Being confident in being you, is something I always love to encourage! 

For those who know of me from school, they can recall I wasn't the slimmest or the most attractive but looking back now who cares? I wouldn't change my looks to be anyone other than myself. Why should I? 

I love being me and I love recognising the fact that I have flaws! 

Why should we compare to others? I mean, I can't really talk as I would die to look like Khloe Kardashian! Though, I love being me and I love feeling confident in saying that! 

Embrace being you and love your body! 

Nobody can love you better than yourself! Until, we all learn to love ourselves properly others will find flaws and tear down our walls! 

Be your inner Marilyn Monroe! 

As you have seen from previous blogs, since I have turned to heading to the gym every week I have become very confident in loving my body. Keeping focused and looking after your body is the best thing you could possibly do by far! 

I have to be honest, I'm not really one for posting Instagram pictures like this. Though, why shouldn't I? Why should I sit and worry what others think? It's my Instagram and it's my body! 

I'm not really one for sharing pictures like this due to the lack of confidence and it's not really my cup of tea. 

However, I felt if I could do something that was slightly out of my comfort zone then you would be able to relate with this blog a lot more. But also it's about embracing how all of us are are beautiful! 

I've been so motivated and focused on loosing my weight and recognising the weight I have lost this time since sticking with fitness so why shouldn't I be able to feel confident?

Allowing yourself to feel proud and confident is the only way you will recognise your beauty! 

Learn to love being you!... 

It's more than important to remember to always love and take care of your bodies! 

I have heard of many stories where girls in particular have damaged their bodies by not eating as we have tried to starve ourselves to loose weight as your being called names at school. Or we've put ourselves through the hardest work out routines and beat ourselves up afterwards for not reaching your weight targets! 

Why should we bully our bodies? 

If your being bulled for the way you look? Why does that mean you can then bully your body? 

No bullying is allowed! 

Goodbye to negative vibes! 

Love both your body and you... 

By then your body and yourself will love you too! 

Now I'm going to sign off for the night as I need a little nap as I'm travelling away to Amsterdam in a few hours... Though I am wide awake as I'm too excited for my week away with my group of friends plus my best friend Lizzie of course!! 

Eeeek I can't wait!! 

With love from your,

My Thoughts On Reaching 10k Followers On Instagram..

While the weekend is still within grasp of our finger tips how could I not share this? 

I love waking up on a weekend and seeing motivational quotes/messages on Instagram! I always find that they motivate me and make me much happier! 

Without a doubt, there was no way that I could resist sharing this with you all! For those of you who follow my Instagram and social media pages I'm pretty sure that by now you will have already figured out that I have reached 10K!!

For sure, when I opened up my Instagram app on my Iphone last night to discover I had made it to 10K more than certainly overwhelmed me!... 

Let's just say my house mates were well aware as it seemed to be the topic of the night! 

I can't truly believe it! I am so grateful for every follower... 

There's truly no way to describe how gobsmacked I am.! 

Since starting the blog, which believe it or not was actually nearly two years ago now, I never expected to reach the amount of views or followings that I have! 

Saying I'm shocked is an understatement. 

As a newly turned eighteen year old when I initially started out with the blog I didn't really expect to get anywhere with it. From perspective of being a human being, we all know what it's like to lack self confidence don't we? 

Anyhow, I never expected to fall in love with blogging. I truly didn't! 

There is honestly so much to blogging. I often hear how others joke and put bloggers down, little do they know how much confidence it takes to publish that; makeup routine, fashion trends or part of your life online! 

Behind closed doors, it takes a lot of work due to all the editing and tweaks we all make to make it look perfect! 

The message I want to portray here more than anything is to not worry about it being perfect. Living your life around trying to be perfect isn't reality, being you is the best perfect you could ever possibly be! 

In other words, I never thought people would read my blogs and trust me there's been many of blogs that I've read back on and wished I hadn't posted that online as I've been fussing over slight changes or I've since disagreed on sharing that part of my wardrobe or life etc! The point is that, someone in the world will enjoy reading those blogs as our lives aren't perfect nor will they ever be! 

Life is about following your journey... 

Be brave enough to know you can believe and be yourselves!. 

In all honesty, I am now truly obsessed with working on my blog! If I could sit up all day and night working on the blog then I would as I love it! I didn't think for one minute that I would become hooked on blogging but I am! 

Your journey finds you! 

Once again, thank you to each and every one of you for encouraging me to be brave and understand that 'perfect' doesn't exist but your journey does! 

With that in mind, follow your journey! 

Be fabulous and never let anyone dull your sparkle! 

Thank you for believeing in me and following my journey on the blogs so far! 

Much Love As Always,

My Current Makeup Routine...

Hey!! 

How pretty is the above beauty Tumblr picture? I love this!... 

Recently, I have noticed that there's been a lot of comments made regarding what make-up I am currently using... 

Not a lot has changed but due to the fact that I'm normally one of those typical girls who tends to find a product that they love and then stick with it. On the odd occasion, I will tend to try out other products.

However, due to being asked what I use... Here's a little blog of my current makeup routine for you all!... 

I decided to share two of my favourite foundations with you as I tend to swap between the two or put a thin layer of the Dream Satin Liquid by Maybeline on-top of a layer the Mac foundation.

I genuinely, love them both! They both have a great coverage and leave my face feeling healthy when I take my makeup off at the end of the day. 

Sometimes, you find foundations leave your skin feeling dry or thick but I tend to have happy and healthy results using the above products. 

Without a doubt, this is my all time go to mascara! I love the effect the mascara has on my eyelashes. Due to being blonde, I have light coloured eyelashes though there still like they just don't show up very well without a coat of mascara! As soon as I apply this mascara they look marvellous and long!

Since, running out of eyebrow powder obviously I tried a few tricks in the books and played around with using eye shadow to replace my lack of eyebrow powder. I actually found that mixing the last two eye shadow colours on the right together makes a perfect colouring for my eyebrows. 

I mix the brown first and then apply a thin layer of black to make the brows stand out! 

I've found myself becoming more and more obsessed with the Naked 2 eye shadow palette by Urban Decay... I love the colours and I love mixing my makeup routine up by changing the colours around... It's so difficult these days to find the perfect eye shadow colours! 

However, with this palette I tend to use the majority of the colours.  

With being more of a Mac girl I adore using the Mac Beauty Bronzer. Sometimes, I find that bronzers can be way too dark for my skin with this one you get the perfect blend without looking too orange! 

For my lips, I tend to use both of the above lipsticks. I have to be honest, I definitely struggle keeping my lipstick on however with using these products together I have seemed to create a longer lasting finish. 

I apply the velvet matte lip crayon from Primark to create a bigger lip line and to also add a extra texture to my lips. 

I then apply a small amount of my Velvet Teddy Matte lipstick from Mac. 

I find the colours together make a beautiful peachy bronze look which is perfect for this time of year. 

To finish the look off, I simply hold the bottle about five inches away from my face and then simply spray a layer over my face to keep my makeup in place! 

This stuff truly works well! 

For a close up look of my makeup routine, here's a quick Snapchat shot that I took recently! 

I hope you've all enjoyed reading what my latest and current Makeup Routine is.! 

I have a lot to share with you over the next few weeks so keep an eye out for any upcoming blogs as they'll be right around the corner...! 

Much Love....

Motivational Quotes & Remembering Where You Came From...

HAPPY FRIDAY!... 

Friday and Saturday will forever and always be my favourite days of the week! Are you the same or what's your favourite day?

I always feel happy and inspired when it's a Friday or Saturday which puts me in a positive mind to share inspirational quotes with you all. 

But not just that, to also reflect on how we should all individually take the time to praise ourselves every now and then! I always joke and wind my dad up that he moans he's tired, with the job he does no wonder why he's tired! So take this as a little credit Dad as I genuinely mean it when I say, I'm proud of every accomplishment you have made.

Mum, how on earth can you cope with the amount of children you teach... It always baffles me how much you do and how you still proceed in succeeding every child that you teach! 

Lizzie and Charlie, working in retail is tough... How many customers do you serve a day and how many times do you both repeat the same questions too on demand?! How you keep sane, is beyond me! 

I could sit here all night and praise every single one of you in my life but that would become very repetitive and I'm sure it would take a lot of time... 

So I think you get the drift... It's important to praise your close ones and show how impressed you are with what they do! Life isn't easy and simple things often get taken for granted! 

I thought I would take the time to do this differently and add a few photos of those who inspire me the most... (Again, I'm really sorry If I haven't added a photo of you - it's not intentional! All family and friend members inspire me more than you know!) 

(I hope I have added everyone, though I know I haven't! But I love you all and you all inspire me!) 

Without a doubt, this has become my favourite quote to date right now! 

I have find myself at the age of nineteen with the career I have always wanted and a lot more. I appreciate every second of every day whilst I am working, I never expected to have the job I have let alone at such a young age. Though, age doesn't make me a weaker colleague if anything it makes me stronger to know I am proud. 

Being proud of achieving isn't snobby or showing off, it's encouraging towards yourself. It's okay to feel proud and overwhelmed by yourself. 

Don't be afraid of achieving! Always go for gold! 

It's always good to have a backup plan though... This quote, has definitely become my back up plan and I love it! 

It's witty and puts life into a perspective! 

I find myself, thinking about failure a lot of the time. It's what we all do? I often, wonder why I'm so happy... ? Is it okay to be happy? Am I allowed to be happy? YES! We all are! 

The mind is a great form of trickery as we all tend to question if we're allowed to be happy or we ponder on thinking about how we will fail instead of living in the moment and believing we can all achieve! 

For example, I often worry that for some reason living and working in Winchester doesn't work out... If it doesn't then there are 25 more options! Pick yourself up, allow yourselves to believe and if it fails then focus on your next letter and your next pathway! 

On that note, I thought I would finish this blog with one of my all time favourite quotes!... 

'I can and I will. Watch me!' 

Don't waste time listening to negativity, use your time annoying others because you haven't even given it a second thought! 

Encourage everyone surrounding you that you can be you and you can achieve! 

All you need to do is focus on believing that you can, if it doesn't work out then your on a journey to finding your pathway... Allow failure to be in the back of your mind but don't give it the time of day. 

We never fail, we simply head down different tracks!... 

Just be you...
