Now, if you didn't notice, I am a huge foodie. From burgers to steak to pasta - I just can't get enough. I absolutely love trying out different food from other cultures and today I am bringing you the best Thai food around - in my opinion ;)
THOUGHTS ON PAID CONTENT & BECOMING A FULL TIME BLOGGER
So firstly, when I started things were A LOT different. Money wasn't mentioned or talked about, most of us didn't even know you could make money from blogging or vlogging. It didn't really matter about how often you uploaded, how great your thumbnails were, how awesome your pictures looked, how amazing your editing skills were.. In fact, nothing really mattered apart from 'are you enjoying it'.
LOVIN' A BROWN LIP
Okay. I've always been a pink lip, nude lip, kinda girl. When I delve into my lip product collection, most of my lipsticks are either a subtle pretty pink or a subtle pretty nude. I guess
I'm a creature of habit right? I'm not sure whats happened to me over the past few weeks but I've literally ditched everything and opted for darker nudes or cool toned browns.
A GIRLIE AFTERNOON
Don't you just love when London gets a little sunshine? The world just seems a better place doesn't it? Myself and Mary took full advantage of the warmer weather a few weekends ago. We ventured out for lunch, earl grey, banana cake and a little catch up.. A girlie afternoon.
THE HOTEL THAT HAS EVERYTHING?
A few weeks ago I was invited to stay at Every Hotels in Piccadilly, of course I said yes. I really enjoynstaying in hotels, mainly for the breakfast the next day but ssssh lol. I decided to take some pictures and share with you my experience. Every Hotels has just opened (literally the beginning of March) so I was very interested in how my stay was going to be.
Here's what happened..
MAC HAUL SPLURGE
Every now and then I get the urge to splurge. Payday had happened, bills had been paid and my first thought was "now what can I buy"? I definitely did not think to go food shopping lol. Typical me. I hadn't bought MAC makeup for a while (except a few lippies at JFK) so that was first on my list because I really love love love MAC. Word on the street was Kylie Jenners favourite lip liner was back in stock and that was basically the entire reason for this haul. It doesn't take a lot for me to spend money does it?
THE FACIAL OIL THATS WORTH THE PRICE
Is it just me or are face oils bloomin' expensive, yet they are one skin care item that I really enjoy using & spending my money on. They usually feel pretty amazing, smell great and give you that 'ahhhhhhh' feeling just before bed. I've tried a few, but the one that I keep going back too is the Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil*.
THE BEST FOUNDATION I'VE TRIED IN YEARS
I'll be the first to admit I'm a bit of a foundation snob. I rarely buy foundations on the high street and I'm pretty stuck in my ways with the likes of Nars, Laura Mercier & so on. I've dabbled in Bourjois foundations like most people but I'm never blown away like I am with the pricey foundations.. That is until Maybelline came out with their new Dream Flawless Nude Foundation, and thats exactly what it is. Dreamy, flawless and nude. Get your purses ready ladies - you'll most certainly need this.
MY DESK DE-STRESS
I spend 70% of my life at my desk, the other times I'm in bed or eating lol. I write posts, edit videos, sort through my emails, read my brand briefs, eat & drink here & take photos, the list goes on. My life is go go go & due to basically running my own business, things can get a little stressful.
Here are the things I keep close by to help me de-stress as I work...
BRINGING OUT THE LEATHER JACKET
If the leather jacket is back it means that warmer weather is coming & that makes me a little excited. My fashion sense sort of goes out the window when its winter. I hate spending money on lots and lots of coats so I tend to just buy one which means my outfits sort of look the same for about 4 months lol. I need to start planning my wardrobes ahead of the months so that I don't go broke trying to keep up with trends.. Anyway! Thats an entirely different post. On to the outfit.
THE INSTAGRAM OUTFIT #7
I haven't really been posting my outfits anywhere over the last few months. I guess insecurities got the better of me and I fell out of love with fashion. I needed a new wardrobe (i'm working on that now) and I needed a chance to get dressed up and feel good within myself.
THE WEARABLE 3 STEP LIP
I think my favourite makeup item is some sort of lip product. I often gravitate towards all the lipstick, liners and glosses whenever I'm out and about or surfing online. If I ever feel like splurging on makeup, lipstick is absolutely the first thing that comes to mind. I just can't get enough.
I've recently stumbled across three lip products that work absolutely perfectly together and will probably compliment various skin tones.
This is the wearable 3 step lip.
THE NEW IN & FAST BECOMING MY FAVOURITE TONER
Toners. The one skincare step I often miss out of laziness and 'I don't actually get what you're supposed to do and I don't want to waste my money'. I purchased The Body Shop Aloe Vera Toner on a whim for the cheap price of £8.50 and I couldn't be more impressed.
