And yes of course some things happen to people which are sad, and life can be difficult for some people, people will come and in and out of your life, and bad things will happen but it will get better. It's important to be positive and try to cope with it, with all the support from friends and family, it is not impossible! I know its hard and easier said then done, but trust me it works! Its also important that you keep the attitude that things will better and this pain or suffering isn't going to be all the time!

When your life gets turned upside down due to whatever reason. you lose that motivation to do anything, because everything seems worthless, and no one can tell you any different because that's the frame of mind that's is permanently there. What i would say when your going to through this frame of mind, don't give up because there are friends and family who love and care about you, and there will be light at the end of tunnel!

If you stick tho these tips it should get better, and whoever is going through this at the moment! It will get better! I promise!

Tip 1: Listen to your favorite song, that brings back good memories

Tip 2: Keep on talking to your friends and family, Do something you enjoy with them, if thats going shopping, or just hanging out.

Tip 3: Treat yourself! When you are feeling down, this can be a really good pick me up and everyone needs to treat themselves now and again!

Tip 4: Pamper yourself, a bath with LOADS of bubbles can be perfect way of relaxing and gathering your thoughts by having some 'me' time

Skincare and Beauty Haul

Today i went into town so i thought i would share what i picked up, in this haul there are skincare, beauty and some random purchases also! When i ever go into town i always write a list so i get what i need and don't forget anything, i think this is a great way to save money and get exactly what you came into town for!

So the first thing i got was two Garnier products because i really needed a new face wash, and also iv had these face washes before and i highly recommend them, because they do the job and are super cheap also! The First Garnier product is a 'Pure Active- Anti spot exfoliating scrub' i wanted to get something that would feel like its really getting into my skin, and cleaning it thoroughly and this product seemed to live up to these wishes. The second Garnier product is a 'Anti- imperfection cleansing gel' this i have had before and i really loved because it smells nice and feels nice on my skin. Both of these products are good for people like me, who have oily and imperfection prone skin!
Where to get 'Garnier Pure Active Cleansing Gel
I'm sorry but i couldn't find this Scrub on the super drug website, but if you click the top link, there are many different products you can browse.

The Second thing i got was a moisturizer, because i have had really dry skin recently and i wasn't sure which moisturizer to get, so my friend recommended 'Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula' which claims to Soften, Smoothe and Relieves Dry Skin, this moisturizer also has vitamin E in it, And also it claims to smoothes marks and tone the skin. Its two early to give a proper review on these moisturizer, but so far so good! And also smells lush! 
When i do a Review on this i will make sure to post a link so you know where to purchase it! 
The third thing i picked up was a Rimmel Product, there was an offer buy one get on half price, so as my mum was getting one i thought i would to! Its the 'Lasting Finish Colour Rush Intense Colour Balm' There appears to be no color number or name on this, but the color is a nude pink! Iv never had any of these before so i'm excited to try them out! 



Time, for the random buys, the first thing i decided to get is a notebook because i love writing lists and i love being organised! And i thought it was time i got a new one! I am also i very forgetful person so this is the best way for me to write all the things that need to be done and then i can tick them off and keep on top of everything! The other reason i wanted to buy a notebook is that i wanted to have somewhere i could record some blog posts ideas, so that i am never stuck for anything to write about! 
The second thing i decided to buy is some deep cleansing facial wipes because i like to get rid off all my makeup first before i start my skincare routine at night. I also like having face wipes because its a nice to have them if i just want to feel refreshed! 
The third thing i got was some lavender 100% essential oil because recently iv had trouble sleeping, and with these oils you are meant to put 4-6 drops into the bath! The idea is that the lavender relaxes you so you have no trouble sleeping! Hopefully it will work! 

Hope you liked this haul!! 


Relaxation Routine

So today i thought i would share all the things i do when i want to have a lazy day, or i have nothing planned and i just want to chill at home. These days are great way to restore your body, and if you've had a hectic week the perfect thing to do to relax!

Tip 1: Do all the work in the day which you have lingering, because therefore you are not stressing about it and you have the whole night to chill out and have a quiet night in! Also i like to think of it like a reward for getting all the things you need to do out of the way!

Tip 2: Run and bath, this is the perfect way to get all clean and cosy and ready for a chill in bed! When i run my bath the products which i like to use are Soap and Glory 'Daily Soothe Bath Float' which iv mentioned before, and which i highly recommend anyway! And the other product i like to use is Soap and Glory 'Clean, Girls body wash' to make it a proper bubble bath!



















Tip 3: Light some candles, this is the perfect way to set that chilled out mood, the candles i use is a Indian Dalt candle, and the other candle i use is a primark 'Sweet vanilla and coconut'. These candles are the perfect evening smell!















Tip 4: Get all cosy in bed, i normally watch my favorite youtubers, this is a perfect way to destress, you could also get some yummy snacks and watch your favorite chic flick or horror!


Hope this helped and gave you some ideas on how to relax!

Current Moisturizing Skin Routine!

When iv washed my face at night i have to follow up with routine because i have acne scars on my face, which i am (trying) my hardest to get rid of! Because they are not the prettiest thing in the world! and my skin is the thing i am most self conscious off because my skin isn't the greatest skin in the world, which really frustrates me.
My skin also gets very dry so this routine seems to help it to keep hydrated and clear-ish of spots.

The first thing i do is use 'Bio Oil' which is formulated to help people get rid of scars, stretch marks on the body, however i use this oil for my face, because i feel it does the job and is the best thing to tackle my horrid spot scars, its not greasy and it really absorbs into your skin as soon as you apply it, it is quite pricey but it definitely worth every penny, and i would highly recommend it.














The next thing i do is follow with a moisturizing face serum, this is really nice and light, so this adds even more moisture to my skin, as well as the bio oil. This serum is none greasy and is really good if you have dry skin like me.



 Then i like to apply a eye gel to my eye area, because i like the way this gel feels on my eyes,  again like the serum its not heavy and very light, so its perfect for the delicate areas of my face. Also i feel like this gel brightens up my eyes, because i do have dark under eye circles, so anything to brighten them up is a bonus!

After iv appiled the eye gel, i follow up with the face cream, which also came in the same box as the eye gel. So they are both 'Anew' products. The cream is also light and non greasy, and also smells really refreshing and lovely! 
The last thing i do, to set all my products in on my face is i apply a skin tonic spray, this is from the Liz Earle collection, i really like to use this to set make up as well, because its a really lovely smelling spray and its really light and refreshing! So i feel its doing a world of good for my skin! 














So that's my Moisturizing Skin Routine! Hoped this was useful and gave you some ideas for your  own routine!

'Abandoned School'











 

 

 












































Life

Life is full of bad and good things, but when something bad happens in life and you feel like its completely pointless, everything seems a massive deal. 
This is how i felt with my blog, although i love posting new posts and sharing all my interests, it didn't seem the right thing to do, but now i am starting to re kindle that love for my blog and i am ready to start posting things on a regular basis, i am sorry for the lack of posts, but as i said things have happened, but now i am ready to share some picture posts, lifestyle posts and beauty posts.
