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.

Garnier Scrub and Gel Cream

Hello everyone! My second post of the day is about one of my all time favourite brands, Garnier. I've never tried a product of theirs that I haven't liked and I was impressed again when I purchased their Skin natural fresh essential vitamin enriched facial scrub and Body Hydra Express Milk. 

The scrub Purifies & revitalises and is Enriched with citrus and moringa extracts. It works especially well with Dull and tired skin to give you a boost in the morning! 'Wake Me Up Fresh Radiance Boosting Scrub eliminates impurities and pollution, leaving your skin feeling perfectly clean and fresh. Its gentle ex-foliating beads unclog pores leaving skin looking brighter and smoother. Enriched with Citrus extract, Wake Me Up Fresh Radiance Boosting Scrub is perfect to purify and revitalise your skin' I'm in love with it's citrus smell and how it washes off leaving my skin feeling super nourished.

The Garnier Body Hydra Express Milk enriched with Grape absorbs instantly into your skin and does exactly what it says! Once applied your skin feels really hydrated and refreshed. The only thing I would say is not to apply it to your face as it does sting a little on your face. It is Enriched with L-Bifidus which helps the skin to reinforce its natural protective barrier, It's effects are really long lasting too which is a bonus!

I would highly recommend both these products to anyone and even my brother sometimes steals the hydrating gel from me! In a drug store you could pick these products up for around £3.50-£5 which is really good value for how long lasting they are.

Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of Garnier's products and what you thought of them. Don't forget to check back every week for new posts from me!

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
