I'm always looking at ways to introduce more fashion into my wardrobe so whilst I was shopping I spotted some lovely trousers that I fell in love with, normally I would keep walking as I never like to buy things that are not in my normal comfort zone however I picked them up with the intention of just trying on.

Lifestyle - Autumn, I've Missed You
Walking to work in the mornings now involves wearing a jumper or a snugly scarf, kicking the leaves as they have fallen from the trees and getting the smell of fresh rain, I've missed being able to throw on a cute jumper and walk down town with a hot chocolate in one hand. Wearing my latest boots in order to break them in and testing out a new berry lip colour even though it's only the first few weeks of September, I've missed this.
Lifestyle | Gym Life
New year new me, we have all been there. I'm sat writing this M&M's in one hand and the thought of going to the gym in my head, it's now the start of winter and I've lost weight but I'm certainly not on track. This year I did a new thing though one that worried me a lot but was a must, I joined a gym. From the worries and woes in my mind I nervously made my way to the gym with images of toned and flexible gym bunnies playing on my mind, however I made it there and even got through the induction.
Signing the consent forms to join was the easy part, even going to the gym for the first workout was pretty good but sticking to it was the hard part. I wrote in my diary each day attend gym from 10-2 or go after work at 6pm and do an evening workout, not realising that after work the only thing I wanted was a plate of dinner and to watch a boxset. So after the first month of trial and errors and hit and miss workouts I had some sort of plan, one that was realistic and had a good flow.
I made mistakes along the way don't get me wrong! From the time I forgot to reset the weights on one of the toning machines and almost twisting my back, then there was the time I opted to swim lanes instead and got through the first 8 laps before heaving myself out the pool thinking I was going to have a heart attack, and then of course the dreading first run on the running machine who knew I could make the sounds of a deflating balloon!
Then of course the highs of going to the gym, discovering if I go at midday it's rather quiet and I can use all the machines without being eyeballed, hitting my first 10 pound milestone and having a celebratory slice of cake, discovering good gym clothes in my local Primark and actually looking good in them, the highs are what make gym life bearable however it's always good to mix in a low for the sake of being able to laugh about it later in the day!
The important thing to remember about starting a new thing is it may seem daunting and you may have a lot more lows than highs but at least you can say you have tried, losing weight is something to do in the long term there is no quick fix but it does help to not eat M&M's when trying to be creative, oh and there's a lot less gym bunnies at the gym than you would think.

Beauty | Primark Foundation Stick Review
Spending £2 on a Foundation stick means I don't really have high hopes for the product, this means I wasn't to surprise when I didn't fall in love with the Primark Foundation stick. I had to go for Ivory as I couldn't find any Porcelain which was a little let down however I have found the overall effect off the foundation to be lacking any wow factor.
Beauty | Eyebrow Routine
Getting my brows to look good comes naturally to me as I've been dealing with difficult browse since my teens, as my hair was white blonde as a baby and growing up my eyebrows are naturally very light. My hair darken over the years and I thought maybe my brows would follow suit however they stayed the same light looking brows meaning I have to fill them in every day otherwise I look a little silly.
