Morning Routine!❤

Good Morning!

I absolutely hate mornings. But to see the sun shine like this is just amazing. In fact I saw this exact picture every day for a week back in 2012 so I'm cheating and using an old picture, but that was in fact when I was on holiday just before my 18th Birthday. We got up every morning at 7.00am to get down to the pool for 7.30am. 

I went to Greece in 2012 as my 18th Birthday present but left two days before to celebrate my birthday with my family. 

The picture above has nothing to do with this blog post except the fact that it was taken in the morning...

❤ !Morning Routine!❤

Here goes...

I try and get up around 7.30am. But today I took advantage of the fact that everyone was out so I slept in a little more than usual.  I don't set an alarm. I don't see the point because technology these days just gives us the option to 'snooze' for a bit longer. (see what I did there.. hehe.) Living in a shared house, you always get woken up by something what ever time it is. I'm quite lucky as I'm unconscious in my bed (as my Grandad says) and can sleep through pretty much anything.

Anyway, I would log onto my laptop and check my social media accounts... you know the drill... Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Blogger and all that good stuff.

Then I would head into my kitchen where I make my breakfast. This morning I had Cornflakes and milk with a cup of cold water to waken me up a little bit more. 

Then I would head back in to my room and sit on my bed planning my day whilst watching YouTube videos. Zalfie (Zoe and Alfie), Narcus (Niomi and Marcus), Janya (Tanya and Jim), Jasper (Joe and Casper) who you should all know. If you don't, go back under your rock! 

Then I would just lounge around in my pyjamas until I have watched enough vlogs to last me a lifetime. 

After that, I will do my skincare and makeup routine... which I did a blog post on so the link to that will be below so check it out if you haven't already. 

Then I have the task of picking out an outfit. This actually takes longer than it should but it was fun fun fun!!

If I needed to then I would make my bed and tidy up a little bit but I do this straight away when I leave to go and make breakfast. 
Then I would just put my hair up into a messy bun, which is my go-to hairstyle for the summer. I wash it every 3 days so it's always clean or nearly clean when the morning comes around.

If I need to run errands... I leave my room all tidy and go out with my Mumma Bear who is basically my taxi driver. 

And that is it!! Below is a photo of the products I used today including the cereal I had. Baring in mind I actually took this before I got out of bed... just because I am a lazy bones!✌

My keys has a Minnie Mouse shoe on it that my cousin got for me... 'cause she's a cutie.

Thanks so much for reading this blog post. Tomorrow I will put up a blog post on my main blog so look out for that. It's scheduled for 8.00am for Pacific Daytime. I really get confused with the time zone this blog website has but anyway.

Skincare & Makeup Routine!❤

Getting up in the morning may be one of the worst things to do ever! In my opinion anyway.

Your bed is always the most comfiest just when you need to leave it behind to do whatever you need to do during the day. But I just love the thought of getting ready, whether it's 6am in the morning or just before a night out, it's so much fun!!

I've put together a short makeup routine that only takes 5 minutes!! The rest of the two hours of getting ready does consist of choosing what to wear... and if a pair of shoes doesn't go with the outfit, I change the whole outfit. 

Anyway, here is my 5 minute quick makeup routine that will help you to get ready in the morning, even if you're running late.. which is definitely me. 

Step One; I always have a shower before doing my makeup... I honestly don't know why I NEED to... even if I already had a shower that morning... plus there's no harm in showering twice is there?

This is to use the hot water from the shower to rinse off all of the dirt and it leaves my skin feeling amazing. I suppose I could just splash my face with warm water, but oh well. 

Step Two; Then I pat my face dry with a damp towel... this will need to be cold for two reasons - 1. It will hopefully wake me up a bit more and 2. It will cool my skin down ready for the next step. 

Step Three; This step is a must! I then start on my skincare routine, which isn't really a routine as such. It's just putting on moisturiser which is the Daily Moisturiser from Tesco which was £1. I don't normally use primer as I just don't see the point of it, but if I want that flawless glow I use Rimmel London Primer 

Step Four; I then start on my makeup. First I use Rimmel London Match Perfection Light Perfecting Radiance Foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. It's only £6.99 from Tesco's and it's what I've been using since I first wore makeup. I did use the True Ivory shade but I looked a bit like an Oompa Loompa with an orange face, didn't really get the natural look back then. (Every time I blog, I always go on about anything and everything, got to stop doing that!) I then use my fingers to work this into my skin and it works better than when I use a foundation brush.

I then move onto powder. I use the matching powder to my foundation (Rimmel London Match Perfection Powder in Translucent which I have had for ages and I'm running out. 

Then I move onto bronzer and I use the MUA Bronzer in Shade 1. This was only £1 so you really can't go wrong. 

I then move onto blusher and I use Collection blusher in Shade 2; Bashful. I've had this for ages as well and I haven't hit pan on it yet. I use a BD Powder Brush for all of the powder products (that's obvious!) but I got that from Tesco's too as a set and it was on sale... so what a little bargain hunter I am!

I then move onto brows. Now I hate filing in my brows but if I don't I always look like I have no brows as they are too blonde to see.

So I will fill them in as best as I can, sometimes they are on point and most times they are just black caterpillars chilling up there. 

To fill in my brows, I use Seventeen Brow's That! brow kit and again I have had this for ages, and if Boots discontinue this product before I run out of it, I wouldn't know what else to get. So please tweet me cheap alternatives to this product please, I might need a replacement.  Twitter account is down below... tah!

I don't wear eyeshadow anymore, I used to but now I just can't be bothered... so moving onto lips and mascara.

I sometimes just use a lip balm or I do sometimes wear lipstick, it just depends on who I'm seeing and what I'm doing that day. 

If I'm using a lip balm, I would use a Cherry Chapstick from PoundWorld and that would mean it was a £1. Yup, that might just be the case ;)

If I'm using lipstick, then my go to lipstick is MUA Matte Lipstick in Scarlet Siren... this was also a £1. Cheap and cheeful!

Then I move onto mascara... and I use P.S Love Mascara from Primark and this was also a £1. 

Then that's my makeup complete. Then I will be spending the next two hours picking my outfit depending on what i'm doing, who i'm seeing or where i'm going.

Here is a picture of half of my makeup done on one side and what I look like in the morning when I have literally JUST woken up; Enjoy!

The left side would be the side of just pure tiredness and the right side is the more presentable of the two. The lighting wasn't very good in my room, so I used the natural daylight in my kitchen. Just to explain why I'm in my kitchen... didn't have to... but yeah.

The Me Time Tag!❤

When it comes to 'me time' I don't mess around. If I'm in my room with chill music playing, I'll be in my zone. 

1. What do you like to read or watch during me time?

I like to watch pretty much anything, if I've missed the soaps from the day before or the week before, I'd watch them and catch up with YouTube videos. 

2. What do you wear during me time?

I just wear anything comfy. Either joggers and a lose top or whatever I'm wearing that day. It's not specific. 

3. What are your favorite me time beauty products?

I'll just take my makeup off with makeup wipes and use moisturizer.  

4. Current favorite nail polish?

I don't wear nail polish. 

5. What would you eat or drink during me time?

I always reach for biscuits or make myself a pot noodle. Either that or I chew on some grapes, it just depends what's in stock. 

6. Current favorite candle?

I got one for Christmas from one of the colleagues at Corby Borough Council when I was doing work experience there. It's lavender, the best smell ever. 

7. Do you ever have outdoor me time?

I would always go outside if it was a nice sunny day, which is rare in the UK. 

8. Would you ever go and watch a film alone?

No, definitely not. It'll be too embarrassing. 

9. Favorite online shop?

I love Next online, mainly because my Mum's got an account with them. And they don't get you to pay straight away which is great. 

10. Anything to add? What else do you do during me time?

Sleep. I definitely use my me time to sleep aswell. I shouldn't nap but it's just what I do at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Sometimes I'll nap when my niece is napping too. Hehe.

5 easy tips for a flawless party look... when you've ran out of foundation!

You're getting ready for a party and you finish your skincare routine, now it's time for foundation, but oh no. You've ran out of it.

This is exactly the situation I'm in right now.

No need to panic, just follow these simple steps to get that flawless party look.

Step 1; Unscrew the lid of the foundation and use what is left, it may be a little bit or not so much. What ever is left is definitely a life saver, at least you've got some coverage. 

Step 2; Use the foundation that is left very carefully, you don't want to waste it. Don't worry if you haven't got enough coverage, the next step is concealer - a holy grail of mine.

Step 3; Dot on the concealer where you need it most. This will cover up most imperfections. All you need is a dot, that's literally it because this is something else you don't want to waste. 

Step 4; Powder. Powder will act as extra coverage, put it on the areas where you haven't been able to put foundation or concealer, and at this moment in time, I have lots of areas where I haven't got either of them. 

Step 5; Carry on as normal with your makeup routine. If you have a lot of redness showing, try and enhance it with a little bit of blusher and finish off with bronzer. 

Now you're ready to party!!

Bucket List!❤

Be a full-time fashion blogger // I'm one of those career focused people who just want to be successful. Do what you love, that way it won't be a job. 

Buy a house // This must be on everyone's bucket list. I would love to just have my own space and just be happy. 

Help the poor // Either by doing a sponsored run or walk, or just giving money away to charities, I would love to do something good. 

Buy a car // I'm currently learning how to drive. I've got my theory test this month and this will be a high obstacle to get over. I would love to just be able to drive anywhere in the country and get away. Grab a few friends and just go on a road trip.

Get married in DisneyLand Florida // I know, a bit extravagant but that's what you get with me. Bigger is better. 

Buy my Grandad his old house // My Grandad comes from Donegal and his old house is still standing. So I would love to be able to take him over and just hand over a key to the front door. This will be the perfect present. 

Have children // As a childcare practitioner, I love children. I have two nieces and one nephew who I see constantly, I am the embarrassing Auntie.  To be able to have mini-mes running around would be a dream come true. 

Win the lottery // Again, something else that would be on everyone's bucket list. I don't think I'll be ticking off this one soon. The first thing I'd do with it would be to give Special Care Baby Unit in Kettering £10,000 for every week I spent there. So £50,000 would go to them and it'll be money well spent.
