Liebster Award & Nominations

Hello everyone! I'm very humbled to say that I've been nominated for a Liebster award by the lovely Dancing in the rain and in this post I'll be explaining what it is, answering the questions and giving a run down of my nominations.

The rules:

Thank and link the person who nominated you

Answer the questions they asked you

Nominate and link 11 bloggers (with under 200 subscribers) of your choice and ask them 11 new questions to answer on their blogs

Let the bloggers know that you've nominated them

The questions:

What is your favourite thing about blogging? Knowing that whatever I'm choosing to write about is reaching people all over the world and they're taking time out of their day to read it and enjoy my blog. It makes me feel really proud.

Do you live by a particular quote? If so which one? Well this is a hard question for me to answer because I have so may quotes that I adore and I could list them off all day but my favourite would have to be "When you seek beauty in all people and all things, you will not only find it; you will become it"

What's the last photo you took on your phone? A shameless selfie from the other day when I went to a Christian Youth meeting.

What do you do that wastes the most time? Well I personally don't see it as a waste of time but others do and that is sitting watching Youtube videos for hours on end. I just really enjoy Vlogs and would love to do it myself one day!

What is your sleeping schedule like? I usually plan to go to sleep around 11pm and end up staying up until about 3am on Tumblr (no shame) and I wake up relatively early, about 8am most days.

Glass half full or half empty? Half full. If you ever think the glass is getting full, you just need a bigger glass.

Who would you most like to be stuck with in a lift and why? If the person could be dead or alive I'd choose my grandma because she passed away in 2008 and I was so close to her, I'd love to spend time with her again.

What has been the best moment of your life so far? Without a doubt, becoming a born again Christian. My life has never been the same and I thank God for that every day.

Is there a post that you've always wanted to write but have been to scared to? Yes, but I just mentioned it in the previous question because I don't want to hide my religion any more and I'm proud of who I am.

If you could change one thing in the world what would it be? The ridiculous judgements cast upon people and the impossible standards imposed upon men and women. Be who you want to be.

Are you proud of yourself? Definitely.

My nominations: 

I haven't got 11 as I don't know many small blogs but let me know in the comments some good ones and I'll check them out!

Glitter Melody

The Betty Stamp

Daisy Locks

Okay Kate

That Pollyanna

Go check out all these lovely blogs, they deserve it! 

 11 questions for my nominees:

If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Have you stuck to your new years resolution?

What's the post your most proud of writing?

Are you a cat or a dog person?

If you had a time machine would you go back in time or into the future?

What is the 23rd photo on your phone?

What is your greatest strength or weakness?

What's the best film you've ever seen?

What's your favourite season and why?

What's the weirdest thing you've ever given as a gift or received?

So there it is. Thankyou to Dancing in the rain for nominating me and I hope you all enjoyed reading this tag.

Polagram Polaroid Photo Review

Hello everyone! Recently I have been re-decorating my bedroom and I wanted to add a personal touch to my theme. I found an app called Polagram, which takes photos from your phone and turns them into polaroid pictures for you. I thought it would be a really cute idea to hang some up in my room and I ordered 16 of my favourite photos form my iPhone. 

The app itself was so easy to use and explained the process easily. Once you choose the photos you want you can add short messages to the photos and adjust the image so it fits the way you want it to.

At a low cost of only £0.29 a photo and only £1.69 postage, they were a complete bargain! I had no issue with receiving my order and they came quickly. When they arrived I was pleasantly surprised as they were in-cased in a pretty pink envelope and once I opened it I saw the photos looked amazing!

I hung them on my wall and I've had loads of compliments on how nice they look.

I have a referral code to give you a free £2.00 to spend on Polagram : PGKQSYFN 

I'll definitely be ordering more print form them soon and not only do they print polaroids, you can also get phone cases, photo books, posters, calendars and normal prints.

Download the app and let me know what you think! If you have ordered any polaroids or other things from Polagram tag me in them on Instagram and Twitter too, I'd love to check them out.

Lots of love

Olay Day & Night Creams

Hello Everyone! I haven't been able to post for a couple of days due to the Christmas rush at work but I'm back today with another skin care post. 

Olay is a worldwide renowned beauty company that expertise in skin care. I decided to pick up their new day and night moisturisers as my skin was looking a bit dull and I wasn't disappointed!

First of all I tried the ' Olay essentials complete care day cream'. It 'is specially designed to give normal and dry skin everything it needs most to help maintain and improve the healthy look of your skin. It contains the essential ingredients your skin needs such as pampering vitamins and nourishing nutrients.' It is also enriched with SP15 to protect your skin from the suns harmful rays. The product packaging is very simple but looks nice and the cream itself is very smooth when applying and doesn't irritate my skin at all. It leaves me feeling refreshed and glowing!

The counter part to the day cream is  the Olay Complete Care Night Enriched Cream for normal/dry/oily skin. 'It works overnight to enhance skin's natural moisture barrier helping to minimise moisture loss the next day & improve the healthy look of your skin.'

Some of the benefits of the night cream:

- Helps to replace moisture lost during the day.

- Non-greasy formula locks moisture into the skin overnight.

- It re-texturises to promote and maintain healthy looking skin.

Just like the day cream the application is smooth and the product is light on your skin. It helps my skin to feel rejuvenated when I wake up in the morning and I love it!

Both these products are inexpensive at around £8-£10 depending on where you purchase them and they compliment each other beautifully.

Let me know in the comments if you have tried either of these creams or any other Olay products and what did you think of them?

Lots of love

Would you rather? Beauty Blogger Tag

Hello everyone! Two posts in one day :D Here's another tag and I hope you like it.

Question 1: Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows? I'd rather loose all my palettes and eye shadows because I have a lot of lipsticks and who could go without eyeliner?!

Question 2: Would you rather chop all your hair off or never cut it again? I'd rather chop it all off, even though I'd cry like a baby. Never mind, there's always extensions!

Question 3: Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek? Pink! I have quite pale skin so pink suits my skin tone more.

Question 4: If you had £1000 to spend would you rather buy clothes or make-up? That's a really hard question but it would probably be clothes, as long as that includes shoes. Think of all the shoes!!

Question 5: Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick? Lipstick as eyeliner. I could use a black matte lipstick and nobody would know the difference!

Question 6: Would you only rather shop at MAC or Sephora? I'd have to say Sephora because i'd have more brands to choose from.

Question 7; Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life? One eyeshadow colour. (I could live with brown forever... maybe) My lips always have to be different.

Question 8: Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter? I'd rather wear winter clothes in summer because honestly British summers aren't that hot anyway!

Question 9: Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round? Well I'd have a nude colour, so whatever that comes under.

Question 10: Would you rather give up your favourite lip colour or favourite eye product? Probably my favourite eye product because I couldn't live with out my perfect nude lipstick!

Question 11: Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or messy bun? Messy bun any day.

Question 12: Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss? Never use lip gloss because I'm not about those natural nails.

Question 13: Would you rather shave your eyebrows off and have none or fill them in with a black sharpie pen every day? I think I'd rather have no eyebrows because the sharpie brow is not a good look.

Question 14: Would you rather live without make-up or nail polish? That's easy for me, 100% nail polish!

I hope you enjoyed reading this tag and I tag whoever reads this to do it too! Leave a link in the comments and I'll check them out. 

Lots of love

Blog Your Heart Out Tag

Hello everyone! Even though I wasn't tagged by anyone I still wanted to do this tag since I'm new to blogging and I thought it would help you learn a little more about me! 

There are 5 questions in this tag and  if any of you reading have a blog, I’d love to see you do this tag too.
Question 1: Who/What encouraged you to start blogging? Well I've been an avid YouTube watcher for years and when I discovered people like Zoella and Essie Button had blogs I decided to check them out. I thought it was an amazing way to communicate with other people who share your interests and although I've wanted to start my own blog for ages, now that I've left school I thought it would be the perfect time to start!

Question 2: How did you choose what topics to blog about? It was simple really, I wanted to blog about things I'd like to read as the audience and things that inspire me. As I'm obsessed with all things beauty, fashion and lifestyle I thought it would be an obvious choice.

Question 3: What is something most people don't know about you? It's not something people don't necessarily know but I'm only 5ft 1" and I've been the same height for 4 years! (yes I'm short)

Question 4: What three words would describe your style? Current, Cosy and Cute!

Question 5: What do you love to do when you're not blogging? Watch ALOT of Netflix (I'm obsessed with breaking bad) and watch YouTube, as well as hanging out with friends and family.

So that's it! I know it's a short post but I thought it would be fun to answer these questions. I tag anyone who reads this to answer the questions too and leave a link in the comments so I can check them out!
Lots of love
