Image
It is so easy to forget about looking after yourself when you are so busy looking after others. Mixed with working and studying it can be a challenge to take time out and give yourself some self-care and TLC. I have put together this blog post to give you some ideas of how you can relax and unwind to give yourself the treatment which you totally deserve. Some of these ideas require little effort but can instantly change your mood and bring happiness to your day. This is mostly aimed at those suffering with anxiety and depression but I believe that EVERYONE should make time for themselves. Enjoy the read and I hope you find this blog post interesting. . . 1.

Recently I was lucky enough to attend the Bloggers Festival in London organised by Scarlett Events. T-Zone were one of the many brands who attended the event. The T-Zone stall was one of favourite’s as those hosting were very fun, gave great information about the products and were super helpful.

Heeeey everyone Sorry for the late blog post. Things have been super busy for me lately so it has been difficult trying to squeeze in time to add to my blog…sorry! Anyway, just thought I would share my makeup of the day with you all. I decided to go heavy and use red and orange shades from the Urban Decay HEAT palette.

All of the shades are so beautifully pigmented and they really compliment my skin tone so I am delighted! If you have not tried the HEAT palette yet then I really recommend you do! Go and check it out at your local store if you can. Unfortunately I live in a town where it is difficult to get your hands on good makeup, hence why I have to travel out of town or order online :( Hope you like this look and enjoy the pictures. List of shades used: - Lumbre - He Devil - Dirty Talk - Scor
