10 Tips To A Healthy Lifestyle!

Hey everyone!

This post is going to be a little different from what I usually do.  I'm going to be giving you 10 tips to a healthy lifestyle. Now I'm sure we're all able to admit we like to sleep in late, eat chocolate, put of exercise and that makes us go downhill. If you want to change and get a healthy lifestyle, then carry on reading and I hope this can help! Enjoy!

1. Wake up early

I know it sounds horrible and yes, it'll be hard to begin with but waking up early makes the day longer and more productive. You'll get so much more done and if you have a shower, you'll feel refreshed and the day will be 10x better,

2. Go for a walk or a run

Going for a walk or a run in the morning will boost your day immediately. It also means your doing some exercise. It'll wake you up too, if you find the first tip a bit tricky. 

3. Have a morning shower

Having a shower in the morning instead of night will be a great started to the day, you'll feel clean and refreshed for the day and it will make you feel a lot better and ready for the day

4. Drink more water

By drinking water, you'll feel refreshed and hydrated and you will eat less food, Drinking water will keep you going throughout the day and if you're looking to loose weight, it will also help with that.

5. Do some yoga

If you don't have a yoga mat, go buy one. Yoga helps to relieve stress and if you do it at least 3 times a week, you'll have a better and healthier life. You will feel less stressed, more happy and you will have less on your mind and you won't worry as much. There are great videos on YouTube if you've never done Yoga before or attend a nearby class.

6. Eat fruit

I know we all hate having to eat healthy but if you want a healthy lifestyle, then it's one of the main things you've got to do. Instead of reaching for the chocolate or the biscuit tin, go for an apple or a banana. 

7. Read more books

Instead of watching TV, yes we know we all do it, pick up a book and read it for an hour. Reading a book broadens the mind and it will make you feel better, even if it's just a few chapters a day, it will help.

8. Take a walk along the beach

If you life near a beach, go and have a walk along it. Put some music on and plug yourself in, carry your sandals in your hands, put on your sunnies and go for a stroll. Being near the sea is also a stress reliever and you will feel more refreshed in the sea air.

9. Pamper yourself

At the end of the night, pamper yourself. After your day, just relax. Fish out your favourite skincare products, your face masks and bath bombs. Have a relaxing bath, detox a little and just let yourself get tired so you can fall asleep easier.

10. Have a hot chocolate before bed

Don't have tea or coffee before bed. After you've relaxed and tired yourself out, having caffeine will not help and will wake you up again and you'll back track from the day. Treat yourself a little and have a cup of hot cocoa.

I hope this helped and I hope you can use some of these tips and get a healthier lifestyle.

Rose Gold Galore!

Hey everyone!

This post is coming a little late but for Christmas I got a beautiful rose gold watch. This was on my Christmas list and it's so beautiful! I love rose gold, it's such a beautiful and eye catching colour.

I love the diamonds around the face of the watch, I think it really makes it stand out. I don't usually wear watching but since I got this, I have been. I don't wear it to school but I wear it other days.

If you're looking for a new watch, definitely get a rose gold one, you'll love it.

YouTuber Recommendations...

Hey everyone!

Most bloggers have a YouTube channel. As much as I love reading peoples blog posts, I do prefer watching them in a video. I find it's better and easier and you can connect more with them. You really get an insight into them and how their life is and all the things they love. You get to learn a little more about them.

I'm going to take you through my top 10 YouTube recommendations. Some have blogs on the side, some don't. Let me know if you have watched or like any of these! Enjoy!

1. Tati - Tati is quickly becoming one of my favourite YouTubers. She is beautiful, friendly and you will immediately fall in love with her. She uploads 5 times a week, which is amazing. She has her own series on her channel, e.g Hot Or Not and Madness Monday.

2. HelloOctoberxo - Suzie is a new addition to my subscription list and I'm not regretting it! She uploads regularly and on time and her videos are amazing. She's so kind and clearly puts alot of work into her videos.

3. Shaaanxo - I was subscribed to Shannon for a long time but never really watched her videos but now, I'm watching them consistently and can never wait until she uploads. She is my all time favourite YouTuber right now and she deserves much more subs. Her videos are amazing and she works so hard on them. You should sub to her immediately!

4. Karissa Pukas - Karissa is a Canadian girl who lives in Australia and she is also friends with Shannon from Shaaanxo along with Chloe Morello and Lauren Curtis. She doesn't upload that often but when she does, her videos are amazing and she has some great ideas. She has her own series called TMI Tuesday.

5. I'mHereForever (Emily-Victoria Canham) - M is beautiful and basically has the whole package! She uploads well and although I'm not too keen on all of her videos, the ones I do like are great! You'll immediately fall in love with her.

6. themaddiebruce - I only found Maddie a couple of days ago but I'm wondering why I didn't find her earlier! She is amazing and is a natural infront of the camera. I can't wait to get to know her and watch all her new and old videos.

7. Eve Bennett - I know Eve personally from Twitter and I've watched her since the beginning. I watched her when she was in DailySix and then when she got her own channel. She is a young aspiring YouTuber and her channel has grown to over 17k subs. You should check her out! She has amazing videos.

8. eleventhgorgeous - Tracy and Stefanie are identical twins and they are so funny to watch. They're the kind of twins that say everything at the same time and just make you laugh. This is a good channel if you're more into affordable makeup and they have great tips videos.

9. Lucy&Lydia - Lucy and Lydia are also twins and they are just amazing. They're so bubbly and you will fall in love with them so quickly. They are fun and kind and friendly and they're videos are up-to-date and they're in with the hype. You can't not love them. They're videos are great too.

10. Carli Bybel - Carli has a mix of videos on her channel. She has beauty and even some keep fit/exercise videos. She posts regularly and she is easy to get to know. You'll love her and she is a recent find, but now one of my favourites.

L'Oreal Paris Collection Exclusive Lipstick!

Hey everyone!

Most of you would have heard about the Collection Exclusive Lipsticks from L'Oreal and the other day I picked one up for the first time. I haven't bought one of these before as I don't tend to wear lipstick alot but recently I started wearing my MAC one constantly and I've fallen in love with lipsticks, They can really change the makeup look your wearing completely.

       

I picked up the Colour Riche in Doutzen's nude. I love this shade but it's a little more pink than a nude, but I think it's a beautiful colour and most people and skin tones could pull it off. I also really like J'Lo's nude but most of the time when I go to Superdrug, that one is sold out. 

This is such a smooth and creamy lipstick and it applies amazingly. It leaves my lips feeling so nice and sometimes I can't help but lick them! (Don't eat your lipstick ha!)

This collection is now one of my favourites and I will definitely be buying more shades for sure. It's amazing and I can't rave about it enough! 

Highly recommended!

Please comment what blog post you would like to see next!

The Best Dry Shampoo In The World!

Hey everyone!

I'm doing this post a little late but for Christmas I got the new Co-Lab dry shampoo. Let me just say, oh my gosh! It's absolutely amazing! I can't even rave enough about this product.

They come in loads of different scents and they're called different cities, I got the Rio one but there is also ones like New York etc.

I usually use Batiste but this is so much better! I tell you now. This leaves no white residue on you're hair that makes you look grey!

It smells amazing, the packaging is so attracting and beautiful and overall it's such a perfect product and I will definitely be buying it myself soon when I run out. 

This is amazing at giving your hair the 'out of shower' clean feeling and it also leaves your hair nice and silky smooth, which you don't always get with a dry shampoo. 

This is definitely worth the money and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!

The Glamour Party Beauty Box!

Hey everyone!

This is something I haven't done before and I was really excited to try it. I decided to do a beauty box subscription. Now, there were so many to choose from and I chose the December Limited Edition box from latestinbeauty.com. It cost me £16.99. When you purchase it, you fill in a persoanl questionnaire about your skin, hair and makeup things you like.

The box was slightly bashed, but to be honest I didn't really mind as all the products inside were perfectly fine. First off, the box looks beautiful and very eye catching. I love it. 

When you open it, this is what you see.

You get 4 little leaflets, you get this with every box too.

It was wrapped beautifully too, I hate ruining things like this! 

Then we get to the good stuff! This is how the box looked when I opened it, I love it! So exciting.

I am going to list all the products I got in the box.

Collection Lengthening Mascara

Burts Bees Lip Shimmer - Grapefruit

XEN-TAN Self Tan

Vichy Skin Idealizer Serum

LOLA Nail Polish - 005 Stone Grey

Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Shampoo

Vichy Thermal Spa Water Cleanser

Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Conditioner 

Stila Smudge Stick - Black Amethyst 

Wild About Beauty Powder Eyeshadow

Elnett Satin Hairspray

Little Hair Bands (probably won't use!)

Skyn Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels

Personally, I think this box is amazing and you should purchase it if you're wanting to try new things out and don't want to pay the full price or if you have never bought a beauty box before, then this is a great starter.

I haven't tried anything in this box before and I can't wait too. It's so beautiful and I think most people would like it. It could even be a good birthday present for someone!

BooHoo Haul!

Hey everyone!

I made a purchase on BooHoo a week ago and today I received my order in the mail! I bought 6 items and they're all tops, oops! (Tops are my holy grail. If I'm ever online shopping that's what I buy because to me, tops make the oufit. When wearing plain jeans, the top is important!

My purchase came up to £57. Some was in the sale and I got a free delivery code at the beginning which was great! Can't miss a bargain, Here are some snaps of what I got.


This is my favourite purchase! It's a crop top but the back comes down longer than the front. It's also got cute leather panels on the shoulder.

This is such a nice black and white top (you'll see a theme of these colours ha!) It also has horizontal stripes which is slimming, bonus!

Love this one so much! The black at the bottom is a see through mesh material

This is just a basic zebra print tee. I haven't has this pattern before so I don't know if I can pull it off!

This is one of my favourites too. It's a khaki green colour and the top of the shoulder are black see through mesh material.

This is just a plain oversized black tee! It was really long when I got it and I hate long tops so I thought I could tie it at the side to bring it up a little!

Thanks for reading :)
