<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since writing <a href="http://lifeofjodie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/losing-8lbs.html" target="_blank"><b>this post</b></a> back in March about how I lost 8lbs I have actually managed to not only lose a further 4lbs and I have also managed to keep the weight off for the past 10 months!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My weight has fluxated 2-3lbs occassionally, but in general I have kept the weight off and I am so much happy with my current weight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I wanted to write a post about a few healthy habits I have adapted over the past year in order to keep off the weight and lead a healthier* lifestyle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am not healthy by any standards, but in comparison to my previous lifestyle I am much healthier and these are a few changes I have made</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img alt="food, healthy, and blueberry image" class="full-size" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/223999535/large.jpg" /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">- Weheartit - </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) <i>Be realistic</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We all have tried or know people who have tried crazy diets, juice fasting and no carbs and then caved after the 4th day and ate everything in their entire fridge... I know I have.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Try not to set unrealistic goals, try to set lifestyle goals that you know you can stick to, if you know you can go your whole life living on no carbs then great for you, but instead try to maybe cut carbs once a week for example then after a few weeks maybe try it twice a week. If you are realistic you will more likely achieve your goals, failure always unmotivates people and you will more likely quit a lot sooner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) <i>Dont drink your calories</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is something that I have been trying to do for years, in terms of soft drinks I only really ever drink water anyway, in the Summer I will indulge in a Frappicino here and there and in the Winter I am a sucker for a peppermint hot chocolate but in general I only really drink water or herbal tea. I find that I only ever used to drink fizzy drinks if they were in my house, but since I have shopped for myself I never find myself buying them and therefore I never drink them..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Alcohol is a little bit more difficult. Obviously alcohol is not great for you for many reasons, but I do drink, I love wine, cocktails and tequila shots as much as any other 23 year old, but lately I have really tried to make better choices even with my bad choices, so instead of a large glass of wine I will opt for a flavoured vodka (vanilla or raspbberry are my favourite) with soda, or a glass of prosecco.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>3) Eat a big breakfast</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This one took me a long time to do, I'm never usually very hungry when I wake up and so I'll wait until lunch then I'll eat everything I see! So now I really try to make sure I eat within an hour of waking up, if I'm really not hungry then I'll just have a cereal bar or some fruit with cereal, but I generally try to get my calories in for breakfast, so I love bagels, eggs, beans, toast, yoghurt. I really try to fill myself up so I'm less likely to snack throughout the day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>4) Sweat everyday</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I use the term 'sweat' loosely, I know it's not realistic for everybody to do an hour of cardio everyday, but try to just do it as much as you can. For me I will do jumping jacks whilst the kettle boils, squats whilst the bread is in the toaster, a wall sit whilst brushing my teeth. Just these tiny things to get my heart rate up. Amongst those I have the app 'Seven' on my phone which is a quick 7 minute workout for when I have a bit of spare time. I try to do that twice a day. Just try to do exercise whenever you can and remember that even small bursts of exercise are better than nothing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>5) Find something you love</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So not everybody loves a 5k to start the day the same way that not everybody loves swimming. There are so many different types of exercise that you can do, you just need to find what works for you. Do you love to work out alone or with a group? Indoors or outdoors? Try different things, tennis, spinning, Zumba, even pole dancing is a great exercise! Find something you love and stick at it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>6) Dont over do it</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In January everybody will join the gym, they will go 7 days a week sometimes twice a day and then by February they are sick of it and wont go again for the rest of the year. It's so important to take breaks, don't over do anything. If you take up a class start with twice a week, then after a month maybe push it to 3. Listen to your body and make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. (Not just for that #GymSelfie)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>7) Remember why you started</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">My ultimate goal has always been to be more comfortable within my body. I remind myself with scrolling through Fitspiration on Pintrest when I'm exhausted after a workout. This could be different for everybody, if you are doing it for more energy, to lose weight, to gain strength, always remind yourself why you are doing it and look forward. You will reach your goals if you are consistent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">I hope this helped some of you and I would love to know what you do to stay motivated!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One resolution I always try to make is to take more pictures and print those pictures!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The amount of pictures I´ve lost over the years of not backing up phones/computers is ridiculous so I always try my best to print them so I have them forever. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was recently contacted by a company called <b>Cheerz, </b>a photo printing company who offered for me to try out their products. After looking at their website and downloading their app I immediately loved their style and the products! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They have everything from magnets, posters, DIY books, polaroids to framed pictures (all at very affordable prices!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think these are great absolutely great as gifts too! I know my sisters will love these!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I opted to try their signature ´Cheerz Box´, which is basically a small cute box with up to 30 polaroids inside. You can connect the app to your Facebook/Instagram and Dropbox and select the pictures you want to print and even caption them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The delivery was less than a week and the pictures all turned out great (no dodgy blurry ones or cropped out heads!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was so pleased with the outcome and have already recommended to all of my family, it will definitely be my go to printing service in the future, especially as the app is so easy to use!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cheerz were lovely enough to give my readers a discount code on your first order so on any order over £8 you will get £4 off! </span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>1) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras/eyeliners/lipsticks and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?</b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is tricky, because I have way more lipsticks and eyeliners than palettes and eyeshadows but most of my palettes were gifts so have a more sentimental value... that being said, I use lipstick/mascara and eyeliner way more and those would be much harder to replace as I have a lot more so I´d probably have to ditch the eyeshadows and hope my friends and family would treat me on my next birthday :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>2) Would you rather chop off all of your hair or never be able to cut it again?</b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I´d probably say never cut it again. I know that if I chopped it all off it would grow back pretty quickly and then I could style it however I wanted, but I don´t think I´d ever have the guts to chop it all off!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>3) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Coral, definitely!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>4) If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or make up?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would have to say clothes, as much as I love make up!</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>5) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tricky, probably eyeliner as lipstick, not only would it be much easier to apply but I am sure there are some nice brown eyeliners that would look quite good on the lips!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>6) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Even though there are no Sephora stores in the UK I would definitely choose Sephora, much more choice</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>7) Would you rather use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Eek! This is difficult but probably one eye colour, I could probably go for a simple brown on my eyes and they always mix up my lip colour..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>8) Would you rather wear Winter clothes in the Summer, or Summer clothes in the Winter?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Neither! But if I HAD to choose maybe Winter clothes in the Summer, I hate being cold more than I hate being hot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>9) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bright!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>10) Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eyeshadow product?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Probably my favourite lip product as I have several that I also love!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>11) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or in a messy bun?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ponytail, I haven´t quite mastered how to rock a messy bun and actually look nice yet..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>12) Would you rather never be able to paint your nails or never wear lipgloss again?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Never wear lipgloss, I have quite a few super hydrating lip balms that almost give a glossy effect, I also love getting my nails done too much!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>13) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Oh come on! How can somebody choose!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Again, if I HAD to probably sharpie them in and hope that I can pull it off! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>14) Would you rather live without make up or nail polish?</b></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nail polish, I love make up too much!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In mid-December I decided to completely delete all of my playlists that I´d had for the past 3 or so years and discover new music and create a bunch of new playlists ready for the new year. They´re not all complete yet but I´m slowly adding new songs as I go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My music taste completely depends on my mood and I love to listen to anything from John Mayer to Ellie Goulding to Johnny Cash to Blink 182. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I´m pretty sure this is my second or maybe even third ´What´s in my bag´post on here, but as I love reading them I thought I´d do a little updated one. Although my bag is definitely the same as the previous post a few things have changed.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh Bourjois. How I love your foundations. The new Air Mat being no exception.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I recently mentioned this in my December Favourites and decided it needed its own post.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I picked this up a few weeks ago after running out of MAC Face and Body, it was around £10 (it´s usually on 3 for 2 though so keep an eye out). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I use my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge to blend this in and I absolutely love the finish. It´s a super lightweight foundation which feels like you´re not wearing foundation at all. It gives a beautiful coverage, I´d say light but can easily be built into a medium finish. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I opted for shade 01, Rose Ivory which is a perfect match for my pale Winter skin. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although the name suggests this is a ´Matte´foundation, it is not at all drying on my skin and leaves it looking healthy and fresh. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I´m pretty sure I will be repurchasing this foundation as soon as I run out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Good job Bourjois.</span></div>

If you´re anything like me you would have consumed way too much food, wine and Bailey´s throughout December and are probably feeling a little bit guilty right now. However, I decided at the beginning of winter that I would be quite vigilant with how much I do consume through the festive period. It can be so difficult to lose weight and so easy to put it all back on. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Throughout 2015 I lost around a stone and managed to keep it off, it hasn´t been an easy process at all, but I feel so much better because of it. At the start of the year I was quite strict about my eating habits, being extra careful with portion sizes and only trying to put good things in my body, it took a lot of <b>control</b> and <b>consistency</b>. Towards the end of the year I have been a little bit more relaxed about my diet, I have however gained 1/2 pounds since the summer but I´m okay with that and will probably try to eat a little cleaner throughout 2016. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>My weight went from 9 stone 6 to now being a healthy 8 stone 8. I am 5"6 for those wondering. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was never overweight but I was unhealthy and very unhappy with my body. I am hoping for good things in the new year and will hopefully be doing one of these posts every month as well as sharing any recipes, apps, work outs etc. with you all. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ah it´s been a while since I did a favourites post. To be honest I haven´t really had time to try out too many products throughout 2015 in general, but the few that I have I have narrowed down to my favourites, with a couple of random ones thrown in there too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Twinings - Camomile & Spiced Apple Tea</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My friend recommended this to me and I have drank it almost everyday since (even in the morning). I love Camomile tea in general, it makes me feel sleepy and I love the taste, but this one has a little hint of apple to it which is perfect for the Winter. I love it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Ren Morrocan Rose Sugar Body Polish</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have fairly dry skin anyway, especially in the winter and as much as I love the Sancutuary Spa Salt Scrub I decided to mix it up a little bit with a sugar scrub. I´ve been really enjoying using this before baths and my skin is thanking me. As much as I don´t like the scent (roses) I have been liking this product a lot the past few weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Nars Iberico Lip Pencil</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This was for sure my most use lip product throughout December, it´s such a fun orangey red that is just perfect for the party season. It also looks great on pale or tanned skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know I´m a little late on the bandwagon for this, but what a game changer! I can´t believe it´s taken me so long to convert. This is so perfect for blending and building foundation and I have used it everyday since purchasing it in early December. Definitely worth the hype!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Bourjois Air Mat Foundation</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I recently ran out of my everyday foundation (MAC Face and Body) and wanted something still quite light and fresh looking on my skin for the winter. I had read a couple of reviews about this and decided to give it a go. I´ve loved Bourjois´foundations for a while and this was no exception. It´s very lightweight on the skin and just gives a nice even finish without looking cakey or dry. I really like this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Caroline Kepnes - You</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I read a lot of books in 2015, and this one I read twice. It is one of the best, if not the best book I have read. I absoluetly loved the writing style, the characters and the plot. I wouldn´t recommend it for a young audience or a squeamish audience, but if you´re into thrillers and don´t mind reading something a little bit dark then I highly recommend this book. The sequel is out this month and I am so excited!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What have you been loving lately?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>More reviews</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I didn´t try out too many new products in 2015 so this year I really want to try a bunch of different products and recommend the best ones to you all</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Days in the life</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are posts that I´ve always wanted to try to get creative with and will really try my best to do a few this year</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Food</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I mentioned this already, but I will probably be doing more food posts, not all healthy stuff, there will be a few treats too. I love baking and obviously I love chocolate. Watch this space...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Feel free to suggest any other posts you´d like to see in the future and I will try my best to get them to you.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello lovelies! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome back, I'm so sorry for my absence lately, I kind of explained a little about where I've been over on my <a href="http://www.myblogisthebestblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">other blog</a>!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, since I have been gone, I've lost 8 pounds!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although my weight loss has been pretty quick, it has also been through consistency and some quite big lifestyle changes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, back in November I started to make working out a regular thing, I was working a lot less than normal and my weight was creeping up, I had to do something about it, I started using the Nike Running App, and sometimes working out at home and others outdoors, aiming to do at least 10 miles a month, which I continued till January. On the days where I didn't run, I would do alternative work outs, some of my favorites being when I would drag my sister down to the river and we would do all kinds of work outs, from running up and down the steps, to star jumps to squats.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I noticed a change in the shape of my body, I wasn't really noticing any difference in my weight (which I know, muscle weighs more than fat but still...)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In February I realised in order to really notice a difference, my diet needed to change quite dramatically.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was eating take out a lot and chocolate and wine amongst other things. I love unhealthy food and I don't think that will ever change, however, I tried to limit my intake of bad foods, if I was peckish I would choose to snack on fruit or yogurt. I made an effort to eat breakfast every day, even if I wasn't hungry I would force myself to eat something small, just so I wouldn't snack until lunch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One huge difference in my diet has been swapping meat for fish, I'm probably eating fish 5 days a week now, as opposed to around 1 before. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So although my diet has changed hugely, I have also taken on a job where I am basically running around for 90 hours a week, which I know has probably been a big contributor to my weight loss, and I had lost time for doing actual exercise anymore.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this brings me to today, the weight has gone, so now I need to combine the two, what I was doing back in November and what I'm doing now if I want to get to a happy place with my body.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've realised I went from a bad diet with lots of exercise to a good diet with not too much exercise (I'm active yes, but in terms of weight training and getting toned, I need some work).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to try my best to find time to work on my body as well as maintaining better eating habits and I will be sure to let you know how it goes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>1. You have to get rid of all of your foundations and you can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?</i></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisOpUDlxHGUfPTbVQyd7k7QLTGU3amjVkGSY83BsjeqkOr8U5HAyBuy_6KpXBVJPNokwqJn6nTtMPMNO20Mug5f1q4XK8JzaBunco_Z3Okx2ANTVEzIfMFMCYC9x5fzuZONMG6O_VDJKU/s1600/DSCN0442.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisOpUDlxHGUfPTbVQyd7k7QLTGU3amjVkGSY83BsjeqkOr8U5HAyBuy_6KpXBVJPNokwqJn6nTtMPMNO20Mug5f1q4XK8JzaBunco_Z3Okx2ANTVEzIfMFMCYC9x5fzuZONMG6O_VDJKU/s1600/DSCN0442.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For drugstore I would definitely have to choose the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation, I have loved this foundation for about a year and a half and I reach for it constantly, it has a gorgeous dewy, radiant finish and the lasting power is great for a high street foundation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For high end I would have to choose Mac Face and Body foundation, I bought this last summer and I fell in love. It's the perfect low coverage foundation that looks perfect for both every day and evening make up, the consistency makes it easy to blend and the finish is lovely.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would definitely ignore it completely! I'm rubbish at confrontation and would hate to embarrass her because if I did she probably wouldn't want to face me again, and therefore wouldn't hire me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>3. You're not feeling yourself and need a pick me up.</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Which lipstick do you put on to make yourself feel beautiful?</i></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsVB_FpBZQLkYXXGgTrwtgKXS3OtGd-A_d1pNFBozGTD9M0PhEJBjN-4hRESiNkJR3ePKGH1xVbFhf1E-q1C9N1aEWrPeQfrsaxT3ii2g7qHxnu_Z0E2Hxxi4Da7McWGJSL4jVeb9zp4/s1600/DSCN0446.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsVB_FpBZQLkYXXGgTrwtgKXS3OtGd-A_d1pNFBozGTD9M0PhEJBjN-4hRESiNkJR3ePKGH1xVbFhf1E-q1C9N1aEWrPeQfrsaxT3ii2g7qHxnu_Z0E2Hxxi4Da7McWGJSL4jVeb9zp4/s1600/DSCN0446.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would go for the Bella Pierre Cosmetics lipstick in Ruby, it is probably my favourite red lipstick in my whole collection, and who doesn't feel instantly glam when wearing a red lip?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a gorgeous colour and lasts all night long without any touch ups. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and make up differently?</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm gonna say that I go back to my 13-16 year old self rather than my later teens as I'm only 22.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In terms of hair in my early teens I would definitely not try to rock the slicked back pony tail with the two strands of hair! Or the scrunched with mousse curly hair! Ew!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In terms of make up I barely wore any, when I was 14 I stopped wearing foundation for a whole year and started to moisturise every single day so I can't remember any really bad make up days!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hait cut, but they hear you wrong and give you a pixi cut. </i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Do you:</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>A) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mom hysterical</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>B) Cry in the chair and things get awkward</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>C) Complain to the manager and demand a refund</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eek! Kind of a bit of all three, except for the demanding a refund part. I would probably awkwardly smile and politely tell them that it wasn't what I asked for and then go home and cry and probably invest in extensions!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have one hour to pack. Which 'do it all' palette do you pack in your make up bag?</i></b></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's such a wearable compact palate, and other than foundation, eyeliner and mascara I would happily only take this with me. The lip colour is gorgeous, the 4 eyeshadow shades can create both a day time and an evening look and the blushes are beautiful! What more could I need!?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This question was really difficult! As I love everything, however, only a few products have sentimental value, the Naked 2 palette being one of them. It's something I've wanted for so long but have never really plucked up the courage to purchase it for myself, however, my mom got it for me for my 22nd birthday and I am obsessed. The colours are gorgeous, and so long lasting and pigmented, I am in love.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Sanctuary Spa | 2 Day Moisture Shower Oil</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought this last month whilst browsing the aisles of Boots and fell in love. It's such a luxury feeling product, it smells great and it feels great! I have been obsessed with it this month!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Laura Mercier | Palette for Eyes, Cheeks & Lips</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another Christmas present from my boyfriend, that I have been using and loving everyday since I got it. The eyeshadows, lipgloss and blushes are all perfect for everyday use and the small packaging makes it great for travel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Maybelline Colour Drama | Minimalist</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had this for a while now, but this month I've found myself reaching for it more than ever. It's the perfect matte nude colour, that looks amazing on. It's the perfect 'my lips but better' colour that goes with every kind of make up look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Charles Worthington | Texturising Spray</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've recently repurchased this after my previous can ran out, and have rekindled my love for it. In the winter I tend to straighten my hair a lot more and it has a tendency to fall flat quite often, this product is truly great if you are having a flat hair day, it gives you a great boost and just adds much more volume to your hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Rimmel | Matte BB Cream</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've recently done a post all about why I love this and it's definitely been on my face for the majority of this month. It's a great product for evening out your skin tone and just adding a light base for your make up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Body Shop | Vitamin C Skin Boost</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again, I've done a recent post about why I love this and have used it daily since I got it and my skin has been loving it. Definitely going to be something I'll continue to repurchase.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Marc Jacobs | Daisy Dream</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love all of Marc Jacobs' fragrances, but this one has been my most recent love. I'd definitely say it's much more of a spring/summer fragrance, but I've been using it constantly nonetheless. It's the perfect amount of girly without being too sweet or floral and I am obsessed with it. Also, look at that packaging!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What have you been loving this month?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Body Shop skincare is slowly but surely becoming my favourite!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am starting to try out more and more and loving everything I am trying.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked up the Vitamin C Skin Boost last month and have been making an effort to use it daily after moisturising. I'll start by saying that my make up applies, so much nicer over this. It creates a smooth layer that acts kind of as a base and makes your skin look and feel great, especially on those early mornings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am definitely making more of an effort to hydrate my skin this year and make it look as good as it possibly can, and I definitely will be repurchasing this! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh January, here you are again, reminding us all of how another year has gone by and the fitness and health resolutions have to make another appearance. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all make them, and the majority of us will not stick to them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to write a post today to tell you a few changes I've made lately and a few of my fitness goals for 2015. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Exercise |</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I try to do things that I enjoy when it comes to exercise, I've always been a fan of<b> jogging</b> and lately have been trying to do it as much as I can, even if I don't fancy going outside, I will put my Nike App on and jog on the spot. As long as I'm keeping my body moving I feel like it's better than nothing. It terms of jogging, I plan on doing at least 10 miles a month for the year, perfectly achievable. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I am at home I'm also trying to do fitness DVD's for half an hour of the day, just to keep myself moving.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I'm also trying to mix it up with classes, I want to maybe start playing <b>badminton</b> on a regular basis with my sister and maybe start doing<b> boxing </b>(I hear that's what the VS Models do!). I really want to keep as active as possible this year and make time for it, so hopefully by the summer I'm comfortable enough to get into a bikini!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Diet |</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For me, diet is the hardest part. I love chocolate, crisps, cheesecake and wine far too much! As well as everything else bad for you, and I eat way too much of it on a daily basis.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would never start a strict 'diet' just because I know I would never stick to it, but this year I definitely would like to try to cut down on the really bad snacks, and try to incorporate more fruit and vegetables into my diet. Also lately I am loving green tea more than ever, it has so many health benefits and I love trying all of the different flavors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm good when it comes to water as I drink a hell of a lot of it, so mainly just need to work on portion control and cutting out a lot of sugar from my diet and we'll see how it goes from there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to try to post these fitness updates monthly to share any progress and updates. I think it's a great way to track where I'm at.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've always loved reading fitness blogs too, so if any of you are reading any at the moment feel free to tell me about them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for reading!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I'll start by saying, my boyfriend is a very good present buyer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But this Christmas gift came as a complete surprise and I couldn't have been happier when I opened it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5 of the NARS Digital World Lip Pencils! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are honestly all beautiful and I have already wore all of them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pencils vary from Velvet Matte to the Satin lip pencils, the matte ones last a lot longer and the satin ones are so hydrating and comfortable to wear, I am in love!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy new year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello all! I can't believe it's 2015! How crazy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll be turning 22 at the end of this month and I still feel 18.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope you all had a great christmas and new year and ate and drank plenty and rested, but now it's back to reality, miserable January, back at work with nothing to look forward to. The joys.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm hoping to make this year even better than last year, blog wise and life wise, I just wanted to share with you a few things to come this year...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Travelling!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope to travel a little bit this year, I have no particular trips in mind, I just know that it needs to be done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saying YES!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cheesy, but last year for more was quite uneventful and I think it's because I let my anxiety take over a lot of things. This year I'm going to try to push myself a little and do more and see more (and of course document it for you)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blogging?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I plan to be an even better blogger for you all, my audience grew so much last year but the content and time just wasnt there on my behalf, I plan on making some changes for that this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So there we go, I am currently working on a list of things I'd like to do and achieve this year which can be seen over on my <a href="http://www.myblogisthebestblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">other blog</a>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you have planned this year?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a person who loves to try out new products, it's not too often that I find myself repurchasing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil has just made it into the lucky few that I have.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't describe how much I love this product. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are somebody who truly finds it such an effort to take your make up off at night, then this is definitely for you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It breaks down your make up and takes off everything, mascara, bold lipstick, everything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It feels so nice on your skin too, I really do like using it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've tried the MAC Cleansing oil in the past (which is probably double the price) and I actually prefer this one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All you need is two pumps massaged on to your dry skin, then splash some water on to it to make a light lather, then wash it off. Voila. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't think I'll ever find a product I love as much as this one, it's changed my skincare forever.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you know me at all, you will know that I am not a huge fan of heavy foundations of anything of the sort on my face. I much prefer the lighter coverage foundations, BB creams and tinted moisturisers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One in particular that I have been loving lately is the Rimmel BB Cream, not only is it matte on the skin (great for you oily girls), but it also has SPF 15 in it, which is great in the colder weather. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think it's going to be a staple this winter for me, it's so wearable and looks so even and fresh on the skin! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you like to build it up, try using this underneath your foundation as a base, it's so light you wont even know it's there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you read my blog you will probably know a little something about my ever growing love for The Body Shop skincare. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've shopped at The Body Shop for as long as I can remember and I feel like their products are getting better and better.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked up the Overnight Serum-in-Oil from the Vitamin E range a couple of months ago and have been using it every night since. As first it felt strange, applying an oil to my face, but after using it for a while I have found myself really liking it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My skin has a lot more added moisture and looks a lot less dull in the morning.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to keep using it before I can tell if it's a must-have product for myself, but for now my skin has been loving the extra bit of pampering before bed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're not as brave as some, this one is perfect for you. It's a sheer red that is so easy to wear but still adds a little extra to any look. It's less than £5 too!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This one is one that I love wearing all through December, it's so easy to wear, it's quite a bright red but the formula is so moisturising and glossy that it makes it so comfortable to wear. Definitely a favourite.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you don't know who Zoella is, have you been living under a rock?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I saw she was coming out with a range of products, the only one I really wanted to try was the body mist. I ordered it online so had no idea what I was getting myself in for, but I wasn't disappointed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only way to describe the scent is to compare it to Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are very similar smelling. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a very girly but not too sweet scent, it's not fruity, but it is fresh and clean smelling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't last at all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't expect it to as it was only around £8 and is a body mist. But I do find myself spraying a lot to try to make the scent last on me a little longer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aside from that, the packaging is pretty and it's so affordable that I just had to get it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also think it would make a lovely Christmas present.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you tried anything from the Zoella Beauty range?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am shade C1</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This post has been a long time coming, I've had this little beauty for a while now and find myself reaching for it so much. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had heard so many good things about it, it's a light coverage foundation that can be built up to be more medium.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's quite watery so a little goes a long way, but the finish is just beautiful, it doesn't look like you have anything on your face at all, it just gives you a perfect even base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I apply this with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush and I think it looks so natural and flawless.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have dry skin and this works beautifully for me, I think it would be great for all skin types if you are in to light coverage foundations then I would definitely recommend this, I think it was less than £20 too, which is great for a high end foundation!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will definitely be repurchasing. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love TV shows, I watch them constantly. Some of my favourites are Gossip Girl, The Hills, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, American Horror Story, OITNB & The Killing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for books I love anything by Dorothy Koomson, and have recently been loving Gillian Flynn's books, my favourite being Sharp Objects!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What do you wear during 'me time'?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tend to just stay in my PJ's. A baggy t shirt and leggings or pyjama bottoms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What are your 'me time' beauty products?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love face masks and hot cloth cleansers, I've recently been using the Sanctuary Spa Hot Cloth Cleanser.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also like to do hair masks frequently, I like the Loreal Ever Riche one a lot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What do you eat/drink during 'me time'?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everything haha. But seriously. I am a chocolate addict. I love crisps, cheesecake, biscuits oh and cheese!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For drinks I love hot chocolate this time of year, and red wine.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">I've been burning an Ikea candle for a very long time on my dining table, which is cinammon scented, and I love it! It's also lasted for a long time. I love anything spicy or berry scented at Christmas time.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">In the summer I love the outdoors, I do get days where I want to be outdoors in the winter but not as often.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Especially when it comes to being alone, I would much rather be inside. I also live in Central London so even if I wanted to be 'alone' I couldn't really be.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Nope. And not because there's anything wrong with it, I'm just not a fan of being in public on my own. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">I can barely go to the shops alone!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love spending time by myself, I do it a lot. I love taking baths if I want to be alone and watching Youtube videos or Netflix on my Kindle. Bliss.</span></div>
