motivational Monday

I hope you all have a great week !

today I wanted to talk about an important topic.

I have to admit, when I look in the mirror I don't see what I want to see 

I want to see someone who has really nice non damaged hair or someone with out bags under their eyes or whatever next, but im me and that's okay 

the society we live in is obsessed with being "perfect" when perfect doesn't exist and everyone wants to be beautiful, but the truth is being beautiful on the outside doesn't get you far.

I think we all need to take sometime out and think about us, not what we look like, but us, what really matters on the inside,

and to be honest I think its better to be better looking on the inside than the outside 

(that sounded so weird to type)

lush review: dragons egg

Recently I went into lush and picked up a few things, so I though id do a review on dragons egg.

this is £3.35, some people would say that this is a lot but its a really big bath bomb.                  

lush describe this bath bomb like this:

dragons egg makes bath time exiting as it fizzes and crackles and changes the colour of your water to a gorgeous citrusy gold. Its scent is reminiscent of lemon sherbet, with a hint of jasmine, leaving you  feeling great and ready for a good day. Its citrus scents leave you feeling transformed and invigorated.

I couldn't agree more 

the scent is amazing and so fresh, you could use this in a bath in the morning.

when you first put this in the bath nothing really happens, it bounces and bobs around the bath and this is when the smell comes through.

the white outer shell dissolves into a really soft foam.

after a while the bath bomb dissolves and gold glitter comes out of the bath bomb and starts turning the water a gold colour.

 

after it dissolves more orange foam comes out of the bomb and this is bright orange but the colours not coming out as good in the photos.

after the whole bath bomb has dissolved, your bright orange, glittery bath smells amazing and looks amazing, the water is so moisturising its insane.

after you take the water out of the bath it leaves glitter in the bottom of the bath which is annoying because you have to clean the bath after but overall this bath bomb is amazing and would recommend it to anyone.

skin care

hi everyone

today im going to show you my updated skin care routine (I did one when I first started my blog but its not the best haha)

fist I'll let you know what skin type I am, I have combination/ normal skin, my forehead is oily but can get dry and sometimes my chin is oily and nose but my cheeks are normal.

as dirt can clog up your pours and cause blackheads, acne ect its so important that you cleanse your face even if you haven't been wearing make up its really important.

I like to use the body shop 'camomile sumptuous cleansing butter' 

                       

this is amazing ! this is really oil controlling and makes your skin so soft and what I love is that its for all skin types so it will be good for every one. I will either take this off with a muslin cloth or just warm water.

if I don't use the cleansing balm I will use an exfoliator, I use the simple one 

this is a really nice one, it has really big grains in it so be careful you don't scrub too hard because if you do it will cause irritation however it does an amazing job, it really controls oils and really clears skin, I can tell a massive difference when I don't use this.

after this I will probably use a face mask,

face masks are amazing, they really clean out pours and calm down the redness from blemishes.

(as usual) I use the simple one

this is so good because it really makes your skin soft and really clean 

and the best thing is you only leave it on for 3 minutes and it makes your skin so nice !!

after I've used this I will go on to a pore minimiser

(I have really big pores so I need this step but if your lucky and have nice skin then feel free to miss this step)

I just put this on a cotton pad and use circular motions on my face and I can tell a massive dereference when I use this and don't use this 

I love this and will defiantly be buying more when I run out.

I'll now use a moisturiser 

this one is simple (again) 

this is amazing, its really thick but it sinks into the skin really fast and feels nice on the skin and doesn't fell heavy on the skin 

and it has an SPF of 30 which I think is really good for a moisturiser 

I hope you've enjoyed this blog post 

let me know what you use for your skin care 

as you can tell I love simple haha 

thank you x

Pamper evening

Once in a while, we all just need to take a break and do nothing but relax and have what many call a 'pamper evening.

in this post I will show you what I get up to in a pamper evening.

first I will run a bath and use my 'magic wand' from lush
                                   
this makes loads of bubbles in your bath and makes your bath smell nice, although I feel you have to use loads of this to get a lot of bubbles so that's a down side.

after this I'll use the 'melting snow man'

this doesn't change the colour of your bath or anything, it just makes your bath really soft and its really beneficial for the skin as it makes your skin really soft.
sorry that these were Christmas products but there are new ones in lush now that do the same 

after i have got in the bath i will the same products as i mentioned in my lazy day routine

                   

after the bath I have got out of the bath ill moisturise using the body butter 

                                                

if you want to read more about these products go to this blog post but soon I will be doing a review on all of the products that came in the set in more detail. 

tell me what you get up to on a pamper evening.

because id love to have some new ideas for a pamper evening 

thank you x

style inspiration

we've all been there

we go in town and see everything and want it then look at the price and slowly walk away

most of the things I see in town are things I see on other people and on celebrities I see in magazines or on TV.

so today im going to share with you my style inspiration's. 

1~Kylie Jenner's style

                                    

 I love her style. its so casual and so boho.        

my favourite part of this outfit is the bag and the jacket they compliment each other really well and I really want a bag like this.

2~ Vanessa Hudgens style

I absolutely adore her fashion sense as its (again) so boho and looks so easy to pull off.

her clothes are always perfect for the summer and I would love to buy the sunglasses or something that looks the same as I love these so much.

Ps. i need her hair 

3~ London fashion week 

when ever there has been a fashion week im always on the internet looking at the clothes.

I've never been to a fashion week but one day I hope I will be able to.

I know that sometimes fashion show clothes can be a bit weird but the high street shop fashion shows are amazing.

4~ general internet inspiration 

when I really need inspiration I just go on Google and find some really cool ideas and I'll find some really good ideas for outfits.

5~ ideas from magazines

im always flicking through magazines finding cute outfit ideas and picking out little bits from every outfit to make my own outfits. I love reading company as it gives you ideas for more expensive clothes, high street clothes and on-line clothing stores.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post :) tell me what you do to find inspiration for clothes.

I got this idea from my good friend Coleens blog post on::

go check it out and follow it if you feel kind, I love her blog, its so good :) 

thank you x

Motivational Monday

Today I though I'd do a motivational Monday as I haven't done one for a while

whilst I was going through the internet trying to find a good quote for this blog post I saw this one and whilst I was still flicking through my news feed trying to find another one this one just stuck in my head and that's because this quote is relate-able to so many people.

everyone has those rubbish days, where you think the whole world is against you and nothing is going right.

if your going through this right now just be strong and remember that this pain will go even if it feels like a lifetime until the pain goes away.

when you feel that everything is bad everything will become bad so when you have a bad time in your life just smile so you will have good times (if that makes sense), I know its hard and it can take some time but you just have to try.

surround yourself with people who love you and make you feel happy then you will become happier, if your having a bad time in your life where you need support, don't be scared to talk to people.

even if you don't want to talk to anyone about it and you think no one will understand, there will be someone there to help.

I hope this post has helped at least one of you :) if it has let me know in the comments because id love to know if I have :) 

lazy day routine

Hi everyone

Recently I have been having lots of 'lazy days' so today I'm going to show you what I get up to when I have one.

Most lazy days I will have a shower just so I'm clean so when I'm in the shower I'll  mainly use soap and glory products as I got a few for Christmas.

                                First I'll ex-foliate with the 'Scrub Of your life' body scrub

                                    

                                I love this product. It makes you skin so soft and smells so nice.

                                            After this I will use 'clean on me' body wash 

                                   

                          This also smells beautiful and makes your skin double the softness.

                                              Just a small bit of this makes you so soft.

        When I got out of the shower,I don't really need to moistures but I still do. I will use the 'righteous butter'. 

                                    

This is a really thick moisturiser but sinks into your skin nicely and all three products work wonders together I would totally recommend all the soap and glory products. 

Emma this is how i get my skin so soft hahah 

After I have had a shower I'll start my skin care. Although I'm not doing anything I still want to have clean nice skin.

first I'll use my simple kind to skin moisturiser 

                                          

this is a really light moisturiser but it makes your skin so soft and you can really tell the difference between when you use this and don't

next I'll use the simple pore minimiser.

.

this makes a massive difference in the size of my pores and i will be buying more bottles of this. 

after I have done my skin care ill get changed so this was my outfit 

                                         

the jumper is from Hollister and the leggings are from new look 

and of course no lazy day is complete without slippers 

                                      

i hope you enjoyed this blog post
let me know what you would like to see in future posts

dear 2014

dear 2014.

what a crazy year you were.it's hard to begin to describe what you were like.
you were a hard,difficult year with the hardest stages I have had and you made me shed more tears than what I wanted, but you also were a life changing year with happy tears and great life lessons.
I walked into 2014 with high hopes but sadly a low reality, 2013 was a rocky ending and I was hoping that 2014 would be better. after a few good months that reality started to fade and it came painfully clear that something was going to happen. it was hard to find out what and when it was going to happen but when it did it came down like a tonne of bricks.

I can't just talk about the bad moments, I have to admit you gave me some great moments that made me laugh until I cried and I made some great memories that I will never forget.
~like that week I had with my best friend (thank you)
~and that Cornwall trip I had with my other best friend (thank you)
~and of course #cibbiemick ;)
~ and I started my blog in march :) 

but after my moments of happiness the memories of the sad parts came flooding back and I have to admit it was hard to fight it away but I tried and thanks to help of my best friends I got through it.
fighting a battle no one really understands is hard but this was the year I decided to just keep going and move forward.
overall I am thankful for this year, it made me realise how important it is to be happy although I gave up my happiness for things I shouldn't have. I let you determine how I felt and I shouldn't have so this lesson is I should never let anyone or anything take away my happiness because even through the greatest moments of this year I was still sad and I truly believe that's because I thought you were going to be the best year I have had. but know I'm going to make 2015 be the best year and not let anyone or anything ruin it for me.
thank you for the highs and thank you for the lows.
goodbye 2014 and hello 2015 !!
