Hey guys!! Welcome back and let’s get straight into the situation. It’s going to be a long one, so grab a snack!!  I never knew what I wanted to do in life and I feel like there’s such  pressure out there for young people to decide in secondary school. So I want to share my career with you.  In sixth year there is such big pressure on students to figure out what they want to do with there life and you feel like a failure when you say I don’t know. ( cause I did)  When I left school I went to study beauty therapy in crumlin college. I didn’t know if it was what I wanted to do, but everyone was saying that I like beauty so I did it because I had nothing else I wanted to do.  Being honest with you I hated college I didn’t like anything in it. During college I was working in Claires assessories  and I went full time when I finished college because I didn’t like college and didn’t want to work in a salon.   I then moved on to working in...

Hey guys welcome back!! I know I’ve been missing for a really long time now and I really don’t know what to say. I’m sad that I stopped doing what I loved but I was very busy as something came up and it was hard to get through. I wasn’t  really doing anything with my life and that’s why I couldn’t share anything. For my friends and family who know my boyfriend who I’ve been with for 6 years now was very ill. We had many trips to the doctors and the hospital with so many different diagnoses. Finally after 5 months we figured out that he has a neurological virus (PPPD). The doctors don’t really have an estimated recovery time for this as apparently it’s a new thing. So I didn’t want to bore you guys with this. He will get better and it’s not life treating it just take times to get through it. He couldn't get out of bed for months as his dizziness was to bad. He also had to stop the gym too as he was to sick. If you follow my boyfriend on Instagram you would know his life is ...

Step one:  Positivity is really the key. As cheesy that sounds its true!!  If you start your day with a negative though, Your going to have a negative day.

It just didn't do anything for me no motivation to get up and lets face it everyone's life looks amazing on Instagram, and you might find your self comparing your life to o...

Welcome back guys!!  This blog post is all about how to keep your dry skin calm and healthy looking. Now If you have been following me from the start yous would know that I have had a bad time with my skin, From It been really flaky to bleeding and cracking. Its not nice at all, So I have a few products that I will tell you's about that is helping my skin. Things like shower gels, body lotion, tan, deodorant etc. So lets get started.  To me personally I think that is really important to find a good body gel for the shower. I have tried a few like Aveno, Sanex, Johnston & Johnston ect and they were fine but I wasn't 100% happy with them. The Two that I love is the Dove deeply nourishing body wash and the N These are so soothing on my skin. They make my skin so soft, no irrations and no dryness. All my dry patches are gone and I don't really get any itchiness.  https://www.boots.ie/dove-deeply-nourishing-bodywash-250ml-10019025 https://www.boots.ie/ni...

Welcome back, I'm really excited to be writing this blog post. why? because I have finally found a tan that takes well to my skin, lasts long, wears of smooth and is super cheap.  I have tired a million tans no lie, I'm a tan addict. I need to have tan on 24/7. It's just what I like and feel good in. I have never found a tan as good as this one. Usually my tans look good for the first day and it then quickly deteriorates, goes all patchy and dirty looking. Now having dry and sensitive skin wouldn't help the matter ether. So drum roll please haha. My new favorite tan is the Iconic Bronze.  I have heard so much about this tan and never got around to testing it for myself. Every one was telling me that it's so natural looking and wears off really well. This tan also reminds me of the Dripping gold by SOSU, the texture and feeling is very similar but I get totally different results. Don't get me wrong I do like the Dripping Gold tan, but personally ...

Welcome back!! I have bought an amazing product and I feel like I need to share it, because sharing is caring! So I am not a big mascara fan. I understood that it make's your lashes darker and tint them as if, but I never loved one that I needed or felt that it actually made a difference to my eyes. Yesterday I went shopping and I needed a new mascara, so I picked up the Benefit Roller lash as I've had a mini before and i just tend to stick to the one product (and i wasn't really pushed into getting a certain brand). The Benefit mini was €12 and It was small as it was a mini. My mam then spotted that No.7 have brought out a new mascara. Now my mam loves No.7 mascara as she has really sensitive and watery eyes and that brand suits her best. I love No.7 skincare so much, It's my go to skincare products but I just don't really like there foundations (I tried one foundation before and didn't like it). Any long story cut short, I ended up buying the No.7 one as i...

I bought this when I was in the airport going on holidays.

I really like this one, its really refreshing on the skin and keeps my skin hydrated. I use this before I apply my foundation as my primer (I also apply ...
