My August Monthly Favourites...

Welcome August! I hope you have given everyone a great August so far! 

Again, I am truly sorry for the lateness of the bl0g... It's just been a pretty hectic few months recently! 

I've got so much I want to share with you all! So sit back and wait to find out all my new little bits.... 

But anyway I will get straight onto sharing my new favourite pieces with you all.... 

If you have seen my Instagram feed recently then you will have seen this beautiful new sleeveless duster coat making a feature on my selfies... I absolutely adore it!! It's such a beautiful colour and it's just so perfect for a dressing up or casual outfit! What more does a girl really want?

Plus, the price of it made me even more excited as it was only £11 due to having 20% discount at work!! 

Everywhere I turn my head I see bardot tops and I am absolutely loving them!! I can't express how much I am loving bardot tops right now!! So thank you Newlook for this one!! It's so amazing, I love the fact I can dress it up or dress it down! 

How on earth could I turn down a black and white striped bardot top? 

With there being many discounts on Missguided recently it was most definitely time for  me to do a little cheeky shop.... I found myself falling in love for this beauty!! It's just such a simple crop top but with the bardot detail again, it looks simply incredible!! 

My dearest friend Sophie, came round to mine wearing this beauty and how could I simply resist buying it as well? I just couldn't say no! I had to make another cheeky purchase online at Matalan! It's perfect to pair with some ripped jeans or just a plain pair of black jeans!! 

I think it's an ideal look for an evening meal or day time outfit!! 

Now this buy has made me over the moon!! I took a quick trip into Newport this afternoon with Scott to find a few things which is when I discovered this handy planner in Poundland. I try my best to be as organised as I can be! 

I think planners are perfect, as you most likely know bloggers tend to find them super handy! I normally tend to use my diary but when I found this it had to leave the store with me! 

I love the pretty designs on the weekly planner. The pretty birds, almost an Instagram symbol and of course the sweet ribbons! 

Last Sunday, my mum kindly met me from work and showed me a new gift she had bought me and again I was so excited!! I guess, I love the little things! 

I always find that the little things mean the most though, do you know what I mean?

Without a doubt, I am always super excited when it comes to having a new diary! Especially when, my best fiend and my mum put a lot of thought into finding the right one for me ha-ha!! 

They know I'm a sucker for pink, so that's a must have essential in my life! Oh my god, then Lizzie found the cute little 'Queen Bee' slogan on the front! It was definitely made for me ha-ha! I love it!! 

I've been dead excited to share this on my blog with you all as it's my very first Yankee candle purchase!!... I've been very lucky to have my friends and family members buy them for me! But I guess, there was just absolutely no way I could turn down this beauty! 

Again, I found this in Matalan which was such a great buy! It was only £9!! That's such a good price for a big Yankee candle!! 

In case you were wondering, it's called: Bermuda beach! 

I'm simply lost for words with this candle! It blew me away, with how beautiful the scent smelt! 

It's the perfect summery scent, it's so dreamy! It makes me imagine being down at the beach on a lovely summer's holiday!! Mmmm take me back to Majorca now.... 

With missing my nail appointment last week, I one hundred percent needed to do something! Who can have plain nails during the summer? Certainly not me!! 

Thank god, my dearest friend Lizzie saved the day when she painted and put some gems on my nails for me! Aren't they such a beautiful summer colour? Thank you Lizzie, you life saver! I love you millions!! 

So wha-la that's my August monthly favourites done for you all! 

I hoped you all enjoyed reading the blog!! 

Have a lovely evening!! 

Much Love As Always, Anya Marie xx

Discussing The SnOg/Vlog - My Thoughts & Feelings...

Let me just take a moment to share my love for this illustration I found!! Isn't it freaking beautiful? I simply love it!! 

So hello Friday, which means hello weekend! It's nice to see you again!! Ha-ha! 

Well I shall move on from there, I hope you have all had an amazing week though! 

I thought it was time for me to elaborate on my first ever vlog/SnOg! 

If you haven't yet discovered my Youtube channel or watched the video then I will leave a link right here for you... Head right to the video now and discover my channel too! 

A lot of people have been sharing their thoughts and opinions on the Vlog! In fact, before I say anything I would like to say a huge thank you to: my friends, family and fellow bloggers/vloggers who have shared their positive thoughts! I love you all! 

I've got to admit how nerve-wracking this experience has been but without a doubt I am glad that I posted my first vlog well SnOg! For those of you who have just tuned in to read this blog of mine, I bet you're totally confused right now! So I shall explain myself - SnOg stands for - A Snapchat Vlog/Blog! It's basically down to the fact that I prefer using the Snapchat camera!! Weird aren't I?? 

So anyway, I discovered so many things during the process off putting together the SnOg! For example, how long the process of taking vidoes and piecing them altogether takes! It was rather stressful but also a learning curve for me too!   

I can't say that I am super confident in the Vlog - I wouldn't expect myself too be though as everyone is going to be self-conscious when it comes to posting a video online right? 

At first, I was doubting if I should even share it but again like I said I enjoy taking risks and adding new additions on the blog for you all! I guess I wanted to share new things with you all. 

With hearing such lovely and positive feedback from so many people, I think I will most likely add new SnOg's to my channel however I am still not one hundred percent confident. 

'My place is always going to be down to writing the blog as that's genuinely what I prefer to do!'

But that doesn't mean, I can't expand my blog/vlog!! I hope you have all enjoyed it? 

If you have any suggestions or comments to make then please let me know either by my: email, social media pages or the comment section below! I take all of your comments in and love listening to all your advice! 

If you like the video, then please give it a thumbs up!! 

 

Thank you again for sharing your support. If it wasn't for all of you who read my blog there would be absolutely no way I would even have the confidence to blog let alone create a YouTube Channel and Vlog! 

There's so many things I found myself panicking about; the way my hair looked, if my make-up looked average, the sound of my voice and of course the way I look in the videos... But the one thing I have learned throughout this process is to not be so afraid of new things... 

Embrace change, it doesn't mean you have to stick to it but at least you have lived your life and given things a go! Don't waste your life holding back!! 

I love you all lots, Anya Marie xx

Hair Cut | Style | Colouring At Essence....

Hey, how are you all doing? 

It's been a few days since I last posted so I thought I would let you know that there are so many blogs coming your way with many new things... It's just taking a bit of time that's all! But I can't wait to share it with you all! 

I thought I would cut straight to the chase as I have been dying to share this beautiful experience with you all!!! I couldn't be happier with my hair! I love it! Thank you again Sammi!! 

As you can see, I took a trip down to the hairdressers to have a slight trim and of course to go slightly blonder! Believe it or not, I absolutely love it! 

I couldn't wait to come home and share my new hair colour/trim/style with you all but as I have had quite a busy week I've had to wait to share the blog... I have been dying with excitement but now finally you can see it all! I hope you like it as much as I do!! 

For me it's been important for me to share this with you all as finding the right hairdresser or beautician is always difficult. I have had many hairdressers which unfortunately just weren't for me... 

It is so important to find someone who is just right for you! Just remember that, as you don't want someone who isn't making you feel comfortable do you? 

Not just that though, you want someone who makes your hair look incredible and if you aren't feeling that way then sadly you haven't found the right hairdresser for you.

I truly have no other words to describe Sammi, she is just honestly amazing! She works wonders! I love the fact that Sammi is a similar age to me and we manage to relate with so many things... It's so much more enjoyable when you get along with your hairdresser... 

I mean come on who wants those awkward silences and long pauses where you find yourself discussing something completely odd?... For example, the weather which nobody really cares about we all just use it as a hesitation in order to stall for the next topic!! 

After many laughs and finding myself feeling really relaxed my highlights were finally finished... Sammi didn't rush my hair at all she gave me all the time in the world which left me feeling really comfortable and over the moon!! 

There are so many things which I love about the salon... So join me on a little tour of the salon....

What I love about Essence salon is the fact it's a perfect size... At first, it doesn't look as big as you think but little did you know it has more rooms through the back where you can find yourself having a few massages or getting your eyebrows done. 

Whilst your in the front of the salon you have Sammi's hairdressing section and the beautician section at the side of the room... You're definitely going to love the decor of the salon as it's stunning!! 

I have nothing but praises for Sammi and her team!! With Sammi, being the only hairdresser as Essence too she truly does an amazing job. Not only that, all the hard work she does she doesn't charge as much as you expect. In fact, her prices are incredible!! 

Finding the perfect hair treatments are always important as well. I always find myself treating myself to new hair shampoo's and conditioners etc... If you find something you love, then why shouldn't treat yourself? It's not like you go to the hairdresser's every single day is it?

I can't wait to review these products for you all!! 

If you're looking for a new hairdresser then why don't you give Essence a try??... 

You can find Sammi's hairdressing page on Facebook which I will share with you right now.... Head Over To Sammi's Page Right Now....

I am so in love with my hair colour!!! Thank you so much!!! 

Bye for now guys, I will make sure more blogs are on the way! Keep an eye out for them!! 

Much Love As Always, Anya Marie xx

First ever SnOg in Majorca 2016...

Well hello everybody, I hope you're all doing well.

After, a long thought process with many hesitations mainly due to being anxious of the unknown. So many questions floating around in a little bubble in my head; do I or don't I?

What will people think? Will people hate the new addition the blog? Will you hate the sound of my voice just like I do? As you can see it was a VERY LONG thought process and a MASSIVE decision to make! 

Let's just hope and pray that I have made the right decision... 

Why might you ask? 

What  new addition have I made? 

For a while now, I have dropped many hints hinting at the new surprises I have for you. 

I wonder if anyone has actually guessed right... If you did, leave some comments below! 

If you didn't guess then I am really happy I have managed to keep the SnOg a surprise for you! I hope its a surprise and not more like a shock for you all! 

No more moaning, droning and trying to escape from sharing this blog post.... 

Here it goes.....  

(Head back up to the top if you haven't watched my first ever vlog for you all!) 

I bet you're all wondering what a SnOg is... It's pretty much a vlog, but I have taken all the videos on Snapchat. That's due to the fact I'm obsessed with using it to take my many selfies. But it's also down to the fact I prefer the way my face is angled/shown. 

I guess I just fancied making it my very own rather than following every other blogger's footsteps. I hope you all like it.

So join Scott and I on a little throwback to our footage of our very own first Summer holiday! 

Leave any comments below as I would be more than happy to hear your feedback... 

Oh and I almost forget to tell you.... My YouTube channel is: Anya Marie Ball, if you fancy checking it out... Then go ahead and click this link and it will take you straight there.... My Youtube Page 

Much Love As Always, Anya Marie xx
