BEAUTY: Mid month secret love affairs

Well, this is new. Mid month fave? I decided today i wanted to blog about something. Then i realized i needed to blog about my new hand creme. I then Thought i needed to blog about a new sent, new nail varnish and eye shadow and blush and what does the mean? A favorite, but its the middle of the month. and BOOM, i had a blog post idea. Mid month Fave

So, i have a confession, i didn't actually 'buy' this new neils yard hand cream. I got it in a magazine. I did however pay your the magazine. My second confession is, i didn't just buy the 1 magazine for the free gift, i bought 2. and if there was another on the shelf in WH Smiths i would have got 3.But i mean, come on, when you get a free gift worth £10 in a £3.99 magazine, i don't care what magazine it is, ill get it.

My other mid month faves consists of a Sanctuary body mist. I don't know where to start about this sent because it is the best sent you will ever, ever smell. We used to have the reed diffuser of this sent and i only found the body mist the other day whilst browsing for the diffuser and i could help myself. I just needed it.

My nail varnish is the jessica 386, dynamic. This had to go in because it is just such a summer color. Seriously, i'm wearing it right now as i type and my nails just look all sassy and summery.

Ive also got a Blush and eyeshadow. The eyeshadow is one i was given and fell in love with, its a mac eyeshadow in the shade coquette. The blush is a little borjois, i've never bought a borjois creme blush, Ive been recommended to get one since forever and only bought one about 2 weeks ago and oh have i worn it lots. Basically every 'make up' day, Ive worn it. And it smells really good.

Tell me in the comments if you like this kinda post.

I quite enjoyed it, it might pop up in June aswell so keep your eyes pealed.

Over the past few days Ive found myself doing a sneaky little window shopping as i walk past my local topshop and there fore thought that what better way to spend a Tuesday evening than riffling through topshops, asos and zaras website, scouting around and finding my May fashion list. And oops, look what happened, a blog post...

Also! My new blog is coming along nicely, And we should be up and running in the next month or 2 if all goes to plan.

UPDATE: new blog

So if you read this post, you would know what i'm on about if you didn't- let me fill you in. Back in January, i turned to my dad and asked if he could help me design my own blog. With a lot of smiling and convincing he said he would do it and 5 months later we and close to the reveal! All the graphics have been draw or made by me. And the design has been made by myself also.

Its a little different from this blog as i wanted it to say Class, chic and modern when you look at it which i have hopefully done? But we should have it up and running in the next 2 months ish? I dont want to promise anything so do hold me to that but hopefully it will be up and running!!

The other big news i wanted to share with you all is the Launching of BellisimaMakes! Ive opened a shop! I'm selling illustrated nick nacks that i have made and if i'm honest, i think there pretty cool. Hopefully i will develop the brand more and design some stickers and pin badges but for now its Note Cards and Greeting Cards!
If you could like BellisimaMakes on facebook and follow @bellisimamakes On twitter id be very grateful. You could also go on over to my BigCartel shop and get yourself the first product out http://www.bellisimamakes.bigcartel.com.

BEAUTY: Is showering together too intemate?

Hello, Aha, funny title? or not so funny depending on the way you look at it... Oh well. However this is a good title because it doesnt give away too much info about the blog post your about to read!
Today i'm going to share with you everything i use in the shower -is the title making a bit more sense? I hope so.

so whats stopping us - lets shower, i mean see what i use in the shower.

FACE AND BODY

On my face i will generally use the ultrabalm for a cleanser and angles on bare skin as a scrub. This is the second appearance of ultrabalm and angles on my blog, read my best lush buys of the year back in January you will have seen i but both of them into that post and look 5 months on and i'm still in love!! Deffo recommend you go check these products out next time your near a lush store.

On my body i use the soho soap company vanilla smoothie which smells so good its insane! I don't know what i like better the product or the packaging... There both so amazing!

 ONTO HAIR

My hair has suffered a lot of heat damage unfortunately.  Which has then led to split ends and frizzyness. Ive tried all sorts of different shampoos- age defying , Moroccan oil extracts etc etc and at the moment i'm using a keratin shampoo and conditioner which has made my hair very very soft and silky. But please- IF YOU HAVE A GOOD SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER - comment what it is!

I hope you enjoyed this beauty post. It was fun to put together!
Hopefully my next post will be a fashion one, can anyone guess what it will entail? or you could wait for next week to find out! Should be a good one if all goes to plan!

LIFESTYLE: Appreciate

Good afternoon, today I wanted to blog about the good things in life. 

I already can tell that this blog post is going to get deep. 

10 small simplistic things that have happened to me that make me smile.(and go all warm and fuzzy inside)

1.going for a coffee date with my mumma. Appreciating that she bought it for me as a thank you. 

2.growing new plants in the garden. Sowing new life into my own life.

3.lighting the Chimenea for the first time this year. Incredible, kept us snug as the sun went down and allowed us to enjoy the part of the day I don't see much off. 

4.the blossom finally arriving properly. 

5.blue blue sky's that have been keeping me warm and making the days seem longer. 

Thanks for reading, and just remember to appreciate the simplicities in your life. The things you don't have any control over but happens and makes you happy.
