Weekly Weigh In 15

Hey everyone, I’m back. I know it has been a while since I have blogged but I just have had a lot going on and I was enjoying my summer. Having said that I feel like I’m ready to make a return to the blogging world. It feels like I’m starting all over again and I would like to thank all my follows who stuck by my and waited.

In order to get back into the swing of things, I’ll start over with a wee quick Weekly Weigh-In.

Weight- As many of you know, if you have followed my blog for a while I have been trying to lose weight. In order to get myself in gear I joined Slimming World. I am finding it hard and easy at the same time. Some days I just want to eat everything in sight but I generally am good. I think I might start posting some recipes on here, as I am cooking so much more these days. I will update my weight every Wednesday as that is my weigh in day.

Shopping – Since my last blog post, I have bought a lot of make up and not so many clothes. Recently I have been getting obsessed with jewellery and have gathered up quite a bit in the last while. I may dig out what I can remember buying and share them all with you, as there was a few bargains.

Work – For the first time in a very long time, I now only have 1 job. I recently got my contract changed to 31 hours a week, which I will find hard adjusting to. I am still in denial about the fact that I have graduated and should have a proper job and I’ll just still to my shop job for a little while longer.

Life- Life this past while has been full of ups and downs. My and my bf split up in April, and it was a bad time for me. We have recently started “dating” each other again, in the hope that we can make another go of it, which I am so happy with. In the break that we had, I rediscovered how important friends are and I am so lucky to have so many good friends I have, that I can rely on.

Hair – The last time I posted on here, I was a slight blonde. Now I am a fully fledged member of the blonde community. In my usual ways, I am bored of it already and want to get some more brown through it in order to be completely brown again for the winter. I am never satisfied with my hair. It feels so dry these days, so if anyone has any recommendations for dry, bleached hair please let me know.

This was such a rambly post, but I have 2 months to fill you in on. And if anyone forgets what I look like here’s a *drunken* pic and please ignore the bun ring as I did fix it.

Anyone miss me?!

A new start for me.....

Wednesday will be a new start for me. Fair enough I should have started on the 1^st of the new month but its my birthday tomorrow so I wanted to wait. I feel that if I announce to other people then it will happen, so here goes.

I’M GOING ON A DIET

Urghhh I finally said it. I need to stop eating so much rubbish and I need to stop spending money on rubbish things.

 

I lost weight over Lent, however since then I have put some back on. I am back to the point where I am hating my body and I know I need to drop a few pounds. I ideally would love to lose about 2 stone and I know this is a lot. But I am going to try. I am going to do it in stages and have different targets. My first target is to lose 7lb by the 7th of July which is just over 3 weeks away.

I’m thinking of keeping a food diary and posting it up here. I really hope it will help me.

So if you have any ideas how I can lose weight please leave me a comment and tell me. Anything is a help right now.

Nail Varnish Collection -Part 1 - Revlon

As promised a while ago here is part 1 of my nail varnish collection, sorry it took so long.

I don’t have many Revlon shades as I find them a bit expensive but I do like to buy them when they are on offer. They normally retail for around £6.29 and sometimes Boots has them on offer for 2 for £8.

So here are the shades that I have;

Blue Lagoon – A lovely shimmery pale blue

Emerald City – A matte emerald green

Peach Petal – A lovely shiny peach colour

Tropicana – A summery orange/coral colour

Cherries in the Snow – A red meets pink colour

And here are the swatches in the same order, with one coat each

Do you have any Revlon shades you would recommend?

Flower Power NOTD

In order to cheer myself up from the gloomy weather we have been having lately, I decided to make my nails a bit summery. I am so bad at nail art but I thought I would have a go.

For the nail colour I used “Blue Lagoon” by Revlon, and for the flowers I used a white from Rimmel and a yellow from Miss Sporty. I had just received my new nail art tools from eBay so I decided to give them a go.

I don’t think it turned out too bad and I will def be trying some simple nail art again.

Do you use much nail art on your nails? Or do you prefer the simple look?

Lips and Hair Haul

This haul is well overdue. I picked up these items a few weeks ago but I lost my camera lead, so I couldn’t share them with you until now. But better late than never?!

I went to my nearest shopping centre that has both a Superdrug and Boots and I went a little crazy on lip products and hair care.

First up lip products:

17 Mirror Shine – Peace - £4.59

17 Mirror Shine – Hollywood - £4.59

Sleek – Candy Cane (Sheen) - £3.99

Sleek – Amped (Matte) - £3.99

Rimmel Vinyl Gloss – No Regrets

Barry M – Nude shade with Impulse - £3 (with Impulse)

Barry M – Baby Pink shade with Impulse -£3 (with Impulse)

Swatches are in the same order

I went mad on hair care as I have recently got highlights. I wanted some hair care for dry hair and coloured hair, so here is what I picked up.

John Frieda Perfecting Crème – £5ish (can’t remember exact price)

Lee Stafford Bleach Blonde Shampoo – £6.12

Lee Stafford Bleach Blonde Conditioner – £6.12

Superdrug Colour Radiance Shampoo – reduced to 20p

V05 Give Me Moisture Shampoo- £3.99ish

V05 Give Me Moisture Conditioner – £3.99ish

TIGI Bed Head Self Absorbed Shampoo - £4.99 (TK Maxx)

So I think I’m ok for shampoo and conditioner for a while however if you have any recommendations for dry, coloured hair feel free to leave them and I might just have to try them. :)

Swapsies

Hiya everyone,

I was wondering if any of my followers where from somewhere that is not the UK or Ireland?! If so would you be interested in doing a make up swap?! I think it would be cool to try make up from a different country, so if any of you are interested just comment me :)

Weekly Weigh In 14

It’s been a long time everyone and I am sorry. I have a lot of things going on in my personal life but now I intend to blog more often. So continuing where I left off;

Weight – I am happy to say I have lost over a stone since the beginning of Lent. Since Lent ended I have to admit I have done nothing but eat rubbish. I need to get back into a healthy eating and exercise routine. I would like to lose 11lb by 1^st July

Shopping – I haven’t bought that much lately, just a few bits and bobs. I had to get new work trousers as my old ones were far too big. I have started collecting some things for the giveaway I intend to have when I reach 100 followers J

Followers – I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who follows me on my blog and/or my Twitter. I have no idea where I would be without you all at the minute.

Hair – I tend to change my hair drastically if something drastic has happened in my life. So in typical me style I got my hair highlighted. There were at least 60 foils in my head and it took 5 hours but I love the results. I will share a photo with you just incase you have forgot my face.

Have you missed me?! Do you like my new hair?!
