Resolutions........ Here to stay?

Hello Lads and Lasses 

Thought I would declare my New Years resolutions for this year and also my 3 predications for 2015. I wish to create this to see if I fly, fall or struggle in 2015 in my own opinion of course. 

Resolutions!

I have two this year... Probably cliché but hey ho they are aspects in my life that need changing. 

1. Eat healthier and get fitter. 

Now I'm reasonably healthy girl in my proportions of size however in general fitness I would beg to differ. So after I start my new job I will assess my free time and see where I can fit in either gym, running or simple at home exercises. 

2. Drink less (Alcohol)

This is not me by any means saying I drink too much by any means. As I'm not one for sitting in and drinking or going out and drinking either. It's just on the occasion I do go out I need to remember the pain you put yourself through the next day. Hence I am going to try and not drink for as long as I can through 2015, or when I do only limit myself to one drink at dinner a month. I'm doing this to also combine with my other new years resolution of getting healthier. In reflection they do need to run alongside each other to be successful. 


Predictions for 2015

1. Become a fully quailified recruitment consultant
(This is my new job as trainee)

2. Have my YouTube channel up and running 
(British Bubble)

3. Maintain my aim of writing 2 blog posts per week

Suppose I just hope I'm in a happy place by the end of 2015 where I can be proud of my achievements. I hope you guys will be there with be too, even if it's taught ride along the way.

Happy New Year Everyone lets make 2015 AMAZING!! 

Love

Goodbye 2014 ......Hello 2015

2014 has been an amazing year from highs to lows and all the nitty gritty bits in between, it's still been magical. I started this year on a sour note with some awkward and horrible hardships, but by mid year it definitely picked up. I'm hoping that 2015 keeps on climbing alike 2014. 

I wish everyone a Happy New Year!! 

Let me know your new year resolutions, or even simply your opinion of people setting them. Love to hear from you guys. 

Tomorrow I will do a prediction post. Then this time next year lets see where we are and what comes true. 

Much Love

Online Shopping Addiction And a Burst of Excitment

Hey Guys,

I thought I would share my current top 3 shopping websites asides the normal high street stores we know and love.

I have grown to become how do we say..... quite the online shopping addict.... oops! Alike many its because of the convenience of it and how quick and easy it can be. Therefore here are some which i have spent probably a tad tooo much than i should, but hey ho :) 

1. www.joythestore.com (No Current discount)

My first is the a store called 'Joy',  there are only a few stores that i know of one being in Brighton and one in London (correct me if I'm wrong) but there could be more. Anywho i have grown to love this website after coming across it on another blog. It has that simplistic view about it, its a complete contrast in comparison to the likes of Boohoo.com (Even though i love this website too). My favourite pieces are their blouses they do such elegant items (mainly from the Louche range) which are all equally beautiful. I would also say that i believe that there are all different styles for all shapes and styles, so I'm sure there's something for everyone. I would strongly recommend checking it out, i can a sure you it will have some staple autumn/winter items you will love throughout the seasons. 

OMG SORRY TO INTERRUPT THIS BLOG POST BUT I HAVE LITERALLY JUST BEEN ASKED TO BE MY FRIENDS MAID OF HONOUR *CRYS* *EEK* *HAPPY*

2. www.missguided.co.uk ( Currently 15% OFF for students with unidays)

This is probably one of my go to clothes shopping websites in the summer. It always has on trend items at reasonable prices, added with the student discount theres no reason to not give it a try. It stocks many items from the likes of 'FashionUnion' and 'AX Paris' which are another two clothing sites where you can get discount with unidays too. I would also highly recommend this website for your Christmas party dresses as they always have some lovely glitzy pieces, with a variety of sizes. I suppose all i can say is .... i never fail when I'm in a panic trying to find a hidden gem with this website. So go give it a check out and tell me what you think :)
P.S.... Check out www.prettylittlething.com (Currently 20% OFF for students with unidays) as if you like miss guided you are sure not to be disappointed with this website as its very girly and sweet in its style. 

3. www.ebay.co.uk/Clothes (No discount :( boo, however contact the seller you never know)

I know your thinking ebay really????..... but you can actually find some real bargains on there which are brand new. Especially as there are hundreds of individual boutiques/stores/sellers on the one website.... in a way the choice is endless. I just think if you are a money savvy kind of person or simply just want to save a bit of money and have a nose then give it a go. I recently purchased a pair of winter boots off a seller on the website and everything was so quick and easy... the funny thing is the website was the last place i looked for these boots i had an image of what i wanted in my head but they just didn't seem to exist anywhere......But then they emerged on Ebay and i couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. 

I hope you have gained something from this post, and will hopefully give one, two or all of them a look at. Sorry for my mid-post excitment, but i couldn't contain myself and I'll always remember when she asked me now :) Anyway guys let me know what you think in the comments below of what you think about the post and if you have any current online store favs atm i would love to know. 

Talk Soon

.Confidence. Resilience.

Hey guys,

Recently I have had the opportunity to attend a few interviews. Not all I have been successful at mind however they have helped me gain experience and resilience in regards to interviews and dealing with difficult interviewers. 

The purpose of this post is to highlight you will at some point come across difficult, rude, domineering people however this is my advice......

Even if it's an interview for a paper round, sales assistant, to attend a new course or to be screened for a competition we are all going to face hardships. Thus  TRY YOUR BEST!
Many interviewers will make you feel less than you are,.... Your not! Your more! If you are knocked back think ok how can I learn from this.... And how can I push forward in a positive manner. TURN IT AROUND! I know this is easier said than done., but think of it in regards to fate if it's not meant to be then there's more than likely something better around the corner. I want you all to stay confident and own your decisions, victories and falls. As you learn from them all. 

Own your self and decisions guys and your build your confidence in the process. Ignore the negative Nancy's in life and your be A okay. 

Night Everyone

Evening Face Routine¦ Simple Skin Care


Hey Guys, 

This is simply just a post of my evening skin care routine its not tooooo long and is quite simple, which is quite funny as i use the simple skin care products. *Laughs to ones self*


Any who... i know there is a 1000000 of these blogs online but i thought i would share mine anyway. I have quite sensitive skin which can dry out in certain areas such as my nose quite randomly. I have never really been one to have post except on that girly time of the month so recently i was quite shocked to be experiencing a problem area which is my chin. However i have found a simple product which has helped greatly with this issue. 

Lets Begin...

First up i take up all my make up off using the 'Simple -Kind to Skin Purifying Lotion' (£3.49) with a cotton wool pad i do this gently all over my face taking extra care across the eyes. After this i use the 'Simple - Soothing Facial Toner'(£3.29) to remove any remaining make up or dirt left behind. 


Once i have completed this stage i then use the 'Simple - Facial Wash'(£3.49) with warm water to ensure my face is thoroughly clean. I especially like this product as it doesn't dry out your skin which i have found can happen with a lot of other facial washes. 

I then use the 'Simple - Oil Balancing Facial Scrub'(£3.99) in only one area of my face daily which is my chin this is because i have recently had an outbreak in this spot. Hence i seeked out this product after browsing the shelves and i can honestly say it has completely cleared my chin from spots. Also weekly i used this all over my face to give it a deeper clean which is from the small beads inside the formula. 

After using these four products i then use the 'Simple - Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser'(£6.99) this product has been a stable in my daily make up and facial routine for beyond two years now. 

I have settled on this routine after trying various other products within lines such as Olay and Clinque. I can honestly say as a person with very sensitive skin they really do deliver and help against any issues or problems you may have in regards to irritable skin. 

All the prices are based on Boots.co.uk website, also another benefit is that the product is always on a 3 for 2 in various places, so is definitely a bargain. 

Let me know about your daily face routines and if you think there is anything i could add in to improve mine. 

Thanks, Have a lovely Evening

Abbie
