Running my own business!

Image
A couple of friends and a couple of the lovely gals I went to school with have got me thinking over the last few weeks.. they've set up and are running their own little business (I say little... they're definitely thinking BIG) and it's really inspired me!  Those who've known me a while may remember that 3 years ago myself and one of my bestie's Hannah, set up a little company called Bows and Hearts. After a few months I started going it alone - I made and sold jewellery, personalised phone cases, purses, sunnies and clothes, gifts and a few other bits and bobs! I did it for about 2 years and even did parties at people's houses and had stalls at markets which I loved. But late last year, I was so busy with work, and spending more money than I was making, I stopped and it came to a bit of an end and all remaining stock got sold at a car boot.    Lately I've decided I actually really miss something to focus on (apart from blogging obvs) and it g...

Halloween Nail Ideas

Image
This year I've found looooads of inspiration for halloween make up and outfits but not for nails... maybe it's just me! But I had a play with a new 15 polish Elf set I picked up from TKMaxx last week and came up with the following! Not much I know but was clearly bored and too excited at having 15 new nail polishes ;) Pleeeeease Tweet me your Halloween Nail idea blogs! xx  

What's in my Bag & Emergency make up kit!

Image
I looove reading/watching other people "What's in my bag" videos so thought I'd do one of my own after having a bag clear out due to buying my new baby... Carvella by Kurt Geirger indeed!  I don't have much in my bag and I like to keep it cleared out (I say that, I've just thrown away 6 tomato ketchup sachets and had 9 lipglosses in the bottom.. so maybe not) and normally just keep the essentials!  Obviously purse, phone and iPod are a no brainer but I also keep a notebook in my bag incase I get any blog ideas or ideas for our 3000 mile challenge next year (check out lukeandsarahs3000milechallenge.blogspot.com for more info) so it comes in quite handy! Of course at the mo I'm trying to be healthy and I'm still doing my Your Tea Tiny Tea Teatox so got some teabags for when I'm at work or out an about, along with a bottle of water.  I go through phases where I end up with 893647654 different perfumes in the bottom of my bag however a...

Getting ready for a night out, Part 2: #HOTD #FOTD and the tan!

Image
Following on from the prepwork I made the night before, this is the second part to the "getting ready for a night out" blog.So, I'm shaved, exfoliated, washed hair and relaxed! Now it's time for the hard work to really begin ;)   I'm not going to lie, when I moved house a few months ago and had a massive clear out, I threw away 20+ fake tans (shameful.. I know)! But St Moriz is one that will stay with me no matter what other brands claim they're "the best". It's cheap and cheerful but my god, it gives the best, most natural tan I've ever had using a fake tan. I love St Tropez spray tans for special occasions but when it's a normal night out, I do a couple of layers of the St Moriz tanning lotion in dark and use the mist to cover any patches that are uneven or that I've missed and BOOM, ready to rock the little dress or shorts!   FOTD :  Firstly - how freaking super excited am I at getting my mitts on a Zoella Beauty c...

Birthday Wishlist!

Image
So it's that time of the year and family are asking me what I want for my birthday in November and normally I don't have the foggiest and I'm not fussed but this year I've had my eye on a few things so I thought I'd pull together a #birthdaywishlist blog... New Look Chelsea Boots in tan and/or black - size 7 Yankee Candle - Fireside Treat A casserole dish... Not fussed on colour but after my bestie made me dinner the other night using one, I've been looking all over for a large ceramic one. Bones Season 1-9 DVD Boxset Nike Tight Fit Running Leggins Your Tea's Anti C Tea (yourtea.com) Cosmetic Bag from Cabella.co.uk Instax Mini 8 Polaroid camera (white) Plenty of things to pick from there for you ;) EDIT  OMG TOTES FORGOT; Bottle of Gucci Guilty should be on the list 😘
