Fashion in the Gym...

I think Khoé Kardashian has definitely inspired us to hit the gym more after ‘that’ Complex cover. Fitness seems to have blown up around us, Facebook is full of fitness videos and tips, and our Instagram pages are full of pictures of crushed egg and avocado on toast.

So obviously if we’re going to the gym more we’ll need some super cute outfits to help us along, because I know personally if I feel like I look good, then I’ll work harder and go more. So here are a few lovely, practical and affordable pieces for your upcoming workouts.

Once you go Blackout...

I love a girls night in. I am lucky enough to live with my two sisters so we can have them whenever we want. Last night our girls night consisted of red wine, pyjamas, and face masks.

I have heard rave reviews about a new Aussie face mask called Blackout, thus named because of the charcoal in it which turns your face completely black. 

The face mask is super duper cheap, even though it was delivered from Australia, it only cost $20 (around £10) which is great. It arrived with a lovely brush to apply the mask so we didn't have to get covered in fluff from cotton wool balls. 

We applied the mask to all three of our faces and there is still so much left in the pouch! It's fantastic value for money.

The mask is unlike any other I've used before, it didn't go crusty or feel hard to touch, it was completely fuss free the whole time we were applying the masks.

The only issue arises when it's time to wash the mask off. You need to make sure you thoroughly clean the sink out afterwards, and you may need to wash your face a couple of times afterwards so you don't have bits of coal stuck around your nose.

Out of ten I think this product would score a firm 9, the only downside being it does stain your face slightly afterwards.. I looked slightly like my uncle Hughie who worked down the mines. 

This morning my skin feels firm and smooth. You will see from the above pic that I have been suffering with a slight rash on my forehead recently (I believe it is exam related!) But it seems to have halved in size this morning which I am over the moon about! 

So grab yourselves a glass of red and go get that perfect skin!!

Peace and love ✌️

Pretty in pink... and green.

Today at work we had a dress down day, we had to come to work dressed in something 'rainbow' themed. The problem there being I own nothing multi-coloured (apart from a very lovely and revealing bikini). So I decided to wear 2 bright colours and clash them instead.

Pink and green might be my favourite colour combination in the world. I just love how they clash; it can be so dramatic and bold, or just simple with pastel colours. It's even my imagined wedding colour scheme (sshhh don't tell Dan, he's yet to propose)... (Hurry up Dan!)

This green jumper is so old but I bloody love it and I will have it forever... or until it literally frays to non existence. It is from Boohoo and they still do them in an array of colours and patterns.

The lipstick is number 20 from the Kate Moss for Rimmel London range. I have had it for a while but wouldn't wear it at first as I felt it was just too bright for me, until my little sister taught me a trick to make lipstick a touch more casual.

Instead of applying the lipstick to both lips, I just apply it to the bottom lip then spread it across the top lip and into the creases and corners that might have been missed, easy peasies. It comes out as a gorgeous lip tint instead of an over the top lip colour, its great for a daytime/work look. Then just to seal it I apply some Lipcote (it really is a miracle worker).

Let me know how you get on with your lip tints!

Peace and love ✌️

Exam Stress Busters!!

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have written a blog post! Between working full time and finishing my second year of uni, it has been manic.

Truth be told I probably could have written posts in between study sessions, but am I the only one who feels utterly drained after they finally hand in an assignment? All I want to do is veg out and binge watch Orange Is The New Black.

But we must endure this last few weeks of hell before the beloved summer, so I have compiled a list of study techniques to get me through it... I hope they help you too.


1. Get organised.

Make a revision timetable, get a study buddy, set reminders on your phone. Whatever your motivation is, use it and get organised. (And if you do not have the body or the moves to be a stripper use that as your inspiration, that's what I do). (No, seriously, I do).

2. Take a break.

Take a break, take a shower... nobody wants to get distracted from their studies by their own stink (it may be gross, but it has most likely happened to you. Just saying).

3.  Exercise will help clear your mind.

A healthy body is a healthy mind. Do some yoga, go for a walk or a run, or just meditate for 10 minutes. It will help I promise. And if not there is always wine, it's one of your 5 a day.

4.  Keep Smiling.

If Britney can survive 2007 then you can survive exam month. Even if you want to shave your head and marry a tramp, that's fine, go nuts! Just keep a smile on that beautiful face of yours.

5. Remember that it will end soon.

You may be disheveled and have what seems to be a permanent twitch, but your exams will be over come 4 weeks time! Count it down, set some markers... You will get through!

6. If all else fails... Run!

If you really feel like you cannot make it through then just quit. Move to Hawaii, become a surfing instructor (note: learn to surf first) make some beautiful Hawaiian babies and live out your life as a hippie... The academic world is not for all of us. 

Well that's enough procrastinating for one day, I'm off to study... Or maybe to move to Hawaii, who knows.

Peace and Love ✌️
