Happy 10th Birthday Soap & Glory | May 2016 ♡

Happy 10th Birthday Soap & Glory!!

(Just some of my collection.... I cant stop buying Soap & Glory!)

Now its no surprise that Soap & Glory is one of my absolute favourite brands and I absolutely love all their bits and bobs. Today Soap & Glory turned 10, and to celebrate I thought I would share with you some of my favourite products of theirs from the makeup range, the skincare range and the bath and body range.  Enjoy ♡

A skincare product that I love from the range is Glow Job which is a sunkissed tinted moisturiser which you use in the morning to give you a beautiful sun kissed glow. I totally recommend this on hot sunny days where you don't want to apply a full face of makeup and just want to give you face a wee glow, I love it! When you apply it, it just sinks into your skin and you feel like their is nothing on your face yet you look like you've made an effort!

Another makeup fav from Soap & Glory for me is the Love at First Blush powder. This is gorgeous and I've repurchased several times! The pretty pink shades give your cheeks a lovely rosy glow and with the lighter shades I love to swipe them over my cheek bones for a bonnie highlight. This is my go to at the moment in these hot sunny days.

I love the Soap & Glory Brow Tint & Precision Pencil. I have it in the shade Dark Chocolate.

This pencil is so good at getting your eyebrows looking strong and defined without actually having to use very much product.  One end has a pencil that twists up and the other end has pen which fills your eyebrows beautifully. It lasts all day for me, even after applying when I get up for work at around 7am and don't take it off until later in the evening. So so sooooo good for getting your eyebrows looking classy!

Now, I have far to many bath and body products. The collection that Soap & Glory have is endless and I have such a hard time choosing! The ones you see here isn't even all of my collection as I have a couple of items over at my boyfriends too. I cant get enough!  I thought I would just tell you about my all time favourite shower gel which is Clean On Me. This smells so delightful and so fresh. It has a built in body lotion so when you dry yourself off after a shower your skin is honestly silky smooth. Whats great about these products too is the pump so you can sit it in your shower and its so easy to access at any point. 

I cant wait to see what products are coming our way in the next 10 years Soap & Glory, your nailing it so far! Let me know some of your favourite products and what products you'd love to try.

Hope you have a lovely day,

Uni Year One, Done! | May 2016

So I survived the first year of my University Degree and handing in that final exam paper was such an amazing feeling!

 I cant wait to spend the next few months reading books I want to read rather than need to read.  I cant wait to go to bed at reasonable times rather than the late night cramming sessions. I cant wait to binge watch netflix again and start a new tv series and spend evenings with my Bruce, friends and family when I want to without the feeling that I need to be working. 

Although Im so thankful the year is over, Im also very proud of myself, I really am. Its been a really long 8 months in which so much has happened in my life and yet I've managed to stick to it and reach the end, for now. 

My mum always wanted me to go to University and Im so thankful she got to see me start my course. When I lost her in November I didn't know how I would go on with Uni as I really struggled to focus.  Yet here I am at the end of my first year and more determined than ever to complete my degree!

If any of you are currently applying to get into University I would highly advise it. Getting to these points in the course are so so so worth all the stresses and in all honesty, I cant wait to start again in September!! Hope everyone who had final exams and assignments got on grand as well and to everyone who graduated, Congrats!!

Evening Walks | April 2016 ♡

Every so often, I find things just get a bit overwhelming. It may be after a busy stressful day or during a quieter day where my thoughts sometimes get too much and I end up stressing myself out.                                 Myself and Bruce love a wee walk and recently we have been going out in the evening as much as possible now that the evenings are brighter. A wee stroll in the woods or a walk down to the river is so lovely. It makes the end of my day really enjoyable and relaxing and it means me and Bruce get some really nice quality time together to chat and to have a laugh. 

I took these pictures last time we were out and I just really wanted to share it.

Spend as much time as possible with those you love ♡

Loreal Elvive Extraordinary Clay | April 2016 ♡

Over the past few months my hair has been so dry and really static. The static has been driving me absolutely up the wall. I changed shampoo and conditioner several times and nothing changed. I straightened and dried it less incase it was due to damaged hair.  I tried new heat protecting sprays and serums, nothing was working.

Ive been seeing loads of bloggers and youtubers raving about these products over the past couple of weeks and I thought, you know what, Im going to give them a go!

Well, can I just tell you, this shampoo and conditioner is quite possibly thee best I have ever tried!

The Loreal Elvive Extraordinary Clay Re-Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner aims to get rid of oily roots and dry ends. On the bottle it says these fab products will give you lightweight roots, free flowing ends and exquisite radiance. After using it for a few weeks now I would agree with everything these products aim to do, they really are so awesome and they smell delicious!

Along with these products you can also purchase the Elvive Extraordinary Clay Mask and Dry Shampoo. I plan to pick these up in the next couple of days as this collection has so far changed my hair for the better!

Let me know if you have tried this bad boy collection out, trust me its actually amazing. My new hair hero as Loreal put it.

Hope you all have a  lovely day. Check out my last post all about the month of march here.

March Has Been Good.... | April 2016 ♡

I have had such a lovely month over March so I thought I would share a few photos to just let you know a little about what I got up to.  The sun finally started shining and although we have had a few rainy days, I feel spring really has arrived!                                                                               Over the month of March I had to celebrate the first Mothers Day I would have without my beautiful mam. It was a tough day but instead of feeling down, I celebrated her life and everything I love and miss about her. We had a fabulous meal and toasted a few glasses of wine to her. I hope anyone else who had to go through mothers day without the main lady in their lives that you had a nice day too. You just have to keep going ♡

It was Easter! I absolutely love Easter, its one of my favourite holidays. I hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend and you celebrated it the way you wanted. If its in your beliefs I hope you remembered the true meaning of the Easter celebrations, and I hope you also enjoyed lots of chocolate and special treats! Bruce and I certainly enjoyed far too much chocolate this year, but it was so worth it, no regrets!!

 The shinty started again for the boys team and the girls. I cant lie, I freaking love the shinty and even more now that I get to play too. Thats me getting torn in to the game in the picture below. We have so many exciting fixtures coming up over the next few months, both teams are going to be super busy! If anybody is up visiting the Highlands or further south in Scotland, go see a Shinty match. You will love it!

I love my cats far too much. Louie and Purdy are pretty much my babies! For the first time this month I took them to my boyfriend's house and they stayed for a few nights with us. They were hilarious and we had so much fun watching them get used to their holiday surroundings. 

I saw the amazing Ellie Goulding this month. She is my absolute favourite and she was amazing! So glad I have finally been able to see her live, I had the best night. I blogged about it which ill link here:
Ellie Goulding - Delirium World Tour 2016  ♡

Finally, I have been enjoying catching up with people over the last month. A few coffee dates here and there, nothing beats catching up with family and friends. Make every second count with them :)

I cant wait to meet lots more people this month and making time to chill. 

I really hope March has treated you well, Hello April!
