HELLO DOLLS!

Can you believe. Last Day. January flew I am telling you. How did you find the start of the year, was it GOOD or BAD or JUST THE SAME?

Did you like these sort of posts? Would you like to see a similar post? More beauty, lifestyle,food,  thoughts or photo challenges? Let me know or link me some that you think I should do, as I do love doing these things. 

So whats for the future?

"A thing you are excited for?"

1.Get Fit, Die Trying!

I want to be healthy and fitter. Not collapsing as I reach the top of a set of stairs or panting after a run. I suffer with asthma, and I know as I have been feeling the benefit of exercise, that it has opened up my lungs and I less and less need my inhaler. I want to feel healthy and less sick. I also have some tight muscles and and tendinitis in a few joints so, movement of those are important. I want to get into loving running, but I still love a walk and soft jog and really do feel the benefits.

2. Be more confident!

With anxiety, you pair yourself back from situations and kinda like your own comfort. Also with having gained weight, you do feel crappy. So since losing what I have I want to work harder for my goal and also start being confident. I am a naturally quiet and observant person, which can taken the wrong way, but I do want to break that mould and be a more happy me.

3. Work more on my blog!

Even though you have heard from me alot this month. I defo want the motivation to keep going. I want to write better, create a new banner and theme, be better at photos and more creative. So little by little I hope I can do that.

4. Spend time with loved ones!

Day 29 of 30 Day Challenge

Hey Ladies,

Have you weird obsessions, guilty pleasures that you turn beetroot over, but still won`t give them up. I think we all have them, right?!

"Five weird things you like?"

1.Peanut Butter & Banana

When I mention this to people I get, "Eewww". I love this combo, there is something so satisfying about it. Really curbs a sweet tooth. 

 

image pintrest

2. Cracking Joints.

I know, I know this is not good for you. But I suffer with tendinitis on my right arm, wrist and fingers and to relieve the strain. When I crack them, you can hear it, but it is such a relief and relaxes them instantly. My boyfriend just laughs when he heres it now! 

image pintrest

3. Smell of cut grass.

The smell of cut grass is the sign of Spring/Summer. Even though I know suffer with allergies with cut grass, pollen etc,, I still love the smell. 

image pintrest

4. Smell of cosmetics

I love any lipsticks or glosses that smell amazing. Ones that you would nearly eat. Barry M Toffee and Stawberry milk, NYX Butter Gloss`s & Tanya Burr lipgloss always smell amazing. Its a bonus when you get a great smell from your lip products, after all they are applied under your nose, so you want it to be pleasant. 

image pintrest

5. Taking my makeup off.

I know its a given and as  makeup artist you would think I would love to have makeup on the whole time. To be honest I love doing other peoples makeup and mine for that extra glam for ocassions. But every day I dont wear makeup. SHOCKER! But I love collecting it. Weird!!?

But the feeling of washing your face and it clean, is a great feeling.

Day 28 of 30 Day Challenge

Hey Lady..

So if you had the chance to move somewhere and experience a different culture, would you?

I do envy people who can choose to up and leave and follow their dreams, but if you are like me you have close family and love home, its a hard thing to do.  But if you could, where would you go? Or where would you like to visit?

"Somewhere you would like to move/visit?"

I am a typically girl. I love Paris, New York, Rome etc.. All are so romantic, girly and have that aww effect on us.

But if you look at the globe, where else would I go?

AFRICA...

image pintrest

Can you image waking up to the sounds of Elephants, or spotting Giraffes while you eat breakfast outside. Animals we see in the zoo or on telly, in their habitat, it would be crazy but amazing I think. Pure air and I do feel you would come back feeling refreshed. 

Northern Countries..

image pintrest

From Iceland, Norway etc... you will get some opportunity to experience the beauty that is of the Northern Lights. I think I would be a cold, but gorgeous view and beautiful on to go with a loved one. Peaceful, Calm with a wonderful sky show. 

GREECE..

image pintrest

When I think Greece, I think Grecian gods and goddess, Athens and the beautiful views, white structures, clean lines, clear seas and colours. I think it would be a fabulous country to visit and the food and culture would be amazing. 

Where would you go to move or visit? I would love to know!

Here is Day 27 & 26

Day 27 of 30 Day ChallengeHe

Hey Girls.

Have any of you any quotes you love or live by? I am totally a Disney freak with quotes, but I am not using one here. But feels free to ask for my favourite ones..(any excuse) haha!

" A quote you live by"

So I may not live by this quote, as I have so many that stick out to me. Thousands really. But I like this one. Its one for the Ladies, no matter what track of life you are on. Quoted from an icon and lady herself Audrey Hephurn.

Day 26 of 30 Day Challenge.

Hello Dollies,

Here is my up to date post. Promise no more slip ups. :)

"Things you Like or Dislike about yourself?"

What I Like??

My Eyes.. The windows to the soul, as they say. I can tell a person by the feeling in their eyes. As a makeup artist, I play mostly with my eyes and see them alot. So I do like the looks I can play with them with.:)

image from pintrest

Since I have being loosing weight, I have begun to like my waist. Even if my boobs or hips are big, I can still feel light and small from the waist and give me definition.. Embrace the Curves!

image pintrest

Things I Dislike??

Upper Arms. I am working on loosing that bingo wing look to my arms. I cover them alot as I do feel uncomfortable and ruins the look of an outfit for me,

image pintrest

Lower back and Thighs. Again, working on these and yes they are improving each week. But I aim to please myself and I will get there!

Day 23,24& 25 of 30 Day Challenge.

 Hello Dolls.

I apologies for the absence on Days 23, 24 & 25. I have been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and unmotivated for some reason. Also not sleeping, so I needed to take some Me time get back on track. Even though I am not 100% I still want to get back on track here. I think the January Blues have caught up with me! :(

So instead of bombarding you with 3 other posts at once I wanted to bring you the 3 I missed now and todays one, the 26th later tonight.

So lets get down to it!..:)

Day 23: "Something you miss"

I miss having a dog around the house. I am a huge animal person and always love having a furry friend around. I grew up with dogs, so it is odd not having one now. I have the option now to get one, but I do want to wait and maybe adopt one or buy one. We havent decided yet. I will know when they are the one..

image pintrest.

Day 24: "Five words/phrases you laugh about"

Image pintrest..

1. This is so me, I talk to myself alot.:)

image pintrest

2. Again, I do this alot. If a word triggers a song, it will be in my head for hours.

image pintrest

3. Procrastination anyone?

image pintrest

4. My brain, loves to chat late at night..

image pintrest

5. I love this... So true..:)

Day 25: "What you worrying about?"

With anxiety, worrying kinda comes part in parcel. So little things can become big things in my mind. I am in a stable place but I suppose money is always a worry. In this day and age and climate, I think 90% people worry about money. Which is unfortunate but reality. As I try and say to myself, the hard times will come and go.. (I hate being an adult..baa-humbug.lol)

Another thing I worry about I suppose is where I will be in 5 years. I work hard to try and reach my personal goals, but you do think what if at times. I am working on getting fit, but slip ups do set you back mentally and all you want to do is crawl back into a box and hope over night it will go away. Again, we all have to work hard. Tomorrow is another day and times will pass. So grab the good and hold on to them memories and say goodbye to the past as it stays in the past.  Its hard, but we all have to try stay positive.

Day 22 of 30 Day Challenge

Hello!!!

Can we believe only 8 days left.. I cannot either!!

"Your Education"

Well I will keep this one short. I really had a normal Irish education.

I attended Ballinderreen National School in Galway, which is the West of Ireland. I spent all my Primary year there. In Ireland we arrive at our first day at 4/5 years. And we are graded into Junior Infants, Senior Infants, 1st Class, 2nd Class (where we make our communion) 3 rd Class, 4th Class, 5th Class and 6th Class (we make our Confirmation then). We leave Primary at 12/13years and into Secondary School. I attended Seamount College Kinvara, again in Galway and the West of Ireland. We are graded into 1st  Year, 2ns Year, 3rd Year (we take our Junior Cert then, which is in June) then we could decide to take Transition Year/4th Year (I didnt!!), 5th Year and 6th Year (Leaving Cert year, again in June and determains whether you get points to college)

Thats really the Irish system, well my experience in a Nut shell. 

In Secondary we divided our subjects into Junoir and Senoir Cycle. 

In Junior Cycle , we had.. Maths, English, Irish, French, Home Economics, PE, Science, Business Studies, CSPE, History, Geography and Art.

So in Senoir Cycle our subjects where reduced and we could pick from options. 

I took.. Maths, Irish, English, French (Core subjects), Art & Art History, PE, Home Economics and Biology. 

I was pretty happy with both Junoir and Leaving Certs, and glad I have them behind me!!

So what did I do then. WORKED!! 

And then I had an Idea.. I always loved makeup and wanted to be a makeup artist and spotted The International School of Makeup Artistry. I loved every minute of that course. I studied Skincare and Makeup Basics, Bridal, Trends, Day and Night looks etc and was so worth it. If you would like a more detailed review on the course I will be happy to.. Let me know!!

But I now hold a ITEC Level 2 Makeup Cert and College Cert..

I hope you liked this post. Any more details get in touch!

"How you hope your future will be?"

So I suppose I will get the obvious out of the way, Yes I would love a White Wedding ( have you seen my Pintrest), Children down the line and to be happy!!

P.S LOVES....Your Hair (Review)

Hello Dolls.

So extra reading, after all I am a beauty blogger, I thought you may have been missing some beauty tries and tested products. 

As we all go through our shampoo`s between 2-3 weeks, I feel we are always on the look out for the best, bargain and quality buy.

My hair is normal, so I need something that is non drying and that does not leave a greasy film on my roots.  So I shop around and like to change it up as much as I can. You can get to much of a good thing!! 

So on a trip to Primark/Pennys, I spotted P.s Loves..Your Hair Professional in Brunette. For €2, I thought what the hell, I will give it a go. I just want to claim that I did buy this with my own money. 

I really did not know how I would like this, would it leave a film, would my hair feel clean or would I like it at all. I have to say I was so surprised. 

The shampoo contains Sage & Black Tea. 

I done some digging on what these ingredients do and how would it benefit me..

Black Tea:

-Contains caffeine that blocks DHT, the hormone that is responsible for hair loss.

-Reduce shedding.

-Adds shine & soften.

-Darkens hair or brings out natural highlights. 

Sage:

-Reduces sensitive scalp (dandruff etc).

-Hair Loss.

-Darkens Hair.

The next question did I get any of the benefits???

Honestly, and again surprisingly, Yes! Before I bought this shampoo, I had shedding problems. Since using it I have found it has reduced the shedding and my hair does feel soft and shiny and not as dull. I do feel it has kept my brunette roots. I have tried and tested this for over 2 weeks, so I do feel like it has done something. My hair feels clean and it leaves no film at all in my hair.

And for the smell, I thought as it was so cheap it would smell terrible, but it smelt really nice and clean. 

I recommend this shampoo for anyone that has shedding, hair loss or your hair is dull. If you have tried everything, give this ago, as for the price it will not break the bank. 

You can get a Blonde and Volume shampoo also, so anyone who has tried those, please do share your experiences. 

I would give this shampoo a 9/10..

My reasons? The packaging doesn't do it justice. Other then that I loved and will repurchase. 

What do you think about this product, will you give it ago.?

I do apologise for the lack of photo quailty, I will get better this year. Promise!!

Day 20 of 30 Day Challenge

Hello Lady,

How is your Tuesday going? 3 days till the weekend again. (Waiting, Waiting)

"What are your fears?"

Well were to I start? Because I suffer from Anxiety, I find my fears heightened. 

I will share with you 3 of my fears, as I do have personal ones that I would like to keep personal. 

Flying!

I don`t know is it because of being up high, in the sky or it being confined, in this metal tube with wings. But I have such a fear of flying. I have flown once and hated it and it did not break my fear, it made it worse. I would love to see the world, but right now, unless I am put to sleep or drink a couple vodkas (drink responsibly.) . I really don`t think I will be a frequent flyer. 

Image google search

Losing Loved Ones!

I think we all have this fear, weather it is your mum, sister, brother, granny or partner, you do fear anything that would happen to them. I have a close family so losing anyone from them would be hard to take. 

Image google search

Not reaching my goals!

I have aims and goals and for anything to stop me getting to them, with out my control fears me. For example being sick and not able to live to my potential or falling into a state where I do not want to do anything. I do not want to let my self go and all my hard work to go to waste and I want to make my own mark in the world.

image google search

I know we all suffer from our own fears. I would like to hear from you on maybe how to over come flying or hearing any of your fears.
