The Hottie and The Nottie: July 2012

Wow, this is a feature that I haven't done in a really long time. Nevertheless, with the end of the month, I figured that now is a really good time to get back into doing it :)LovingMood Boards. I actually created this sort-of Mood Board, on my Office Wall about a month ago, because I really wanted to throw out old copies of magazines, but I still wanted to hang on to some of the inspiring articles or images.I wanted to create a board, or area...

NOTD: Shimmers and Shines

I've been meaning to do a Nail of the Day for absolutely ages, but every time that I think about it, my nails always seem to be chipped or just looking rubbish. So, typically my nails weren't too great today either, but I really wanted to share this look with you because I really love it. Here ya go:This, to me, is a really pretty, sparkly creamy kind of colour that I thought would look absolutely beautiful for a bride, bridesmaid or anything to...

Beautiful World: Being British

It's not difficult to figure out what part of world I'm singing the praises of this week, and you should know that I'm more surprised than anyone by this addition. I never expected the Ceremony to affect me as much as it did.Twelve months ago, I'm not going to deny that I was a bit ashamed to call myself British, or essentially English. I'm sure that I don't need to remind anyone of last years riots. However, over the past twelve months with the...

Holy Jumping Juniper, Batman

Some time ago I reviewed Lush's Solid Conditioner Bar "Jungle", which I wasn't really that impressed with. It wasn't so much that I didn't like it, but more that I was never convinced that I was using it "properly" or that I was actually getting any product on to my hair! Nevertheless, on a trip to Lush (which is actually a good few months ago now!) I'd decided that I wanted to give the shampoo bar a try, out of pure curiosity more than anything....

Beautiful World: The Sea

I have to admit that I'm not really a huge lover of beaches. I've never been on a "beach" holiday, and to be honest, it's never really appealed. I hate the feeling of sand between my toes, and I can think of a load of other ways I'd rather be spending my holiday doing, than sat on a beach - maybe I'm weird, I dunno.But, it's true that there is always something so incredibly alluring about the Sea. I mean, look at the image below...what's not to love...

30 Before 30: Learn How To Apply Liquid Eyeliner: Second Attempt

You might remember, back in February, I set myself a challenge as part of my 30 Before 30 to learn how to apply liquid eyeliner, as demonstrated here in my first attempt. To be fair, I haven't been using liquid eyeliner much over the past five months so I haven't had that much opportunity to practice. Let's face it, I really needed the practice!!However, I've recently been testing out ELF's Liquid Eyeliner in Coffee for a blog post over at Makeup...

Beautiful World: Introduction

Source: domesblissity.blogspot.com via Anne on PinterestOkay, it's confession time: how many of you had a good old moan today? A good guess might be that at some point it was about the weather wasn't it? Well, the weather has been pretty rubbish. But, let's be honest us British, well, we know how to have a good old moan don't we? If you want to be British, learn how to have a rant and you're well on your way. Okay, so I'm kidding with that last bit...

FOTD: A First Time for Everything

Since I started this blog over two years ago, I've slowly been building confidence to put up images of myself in any shape or form. It took me a long while to convinced myself to even put up images of my nails, and I've only just managed to encourage myself to do Outfits of the Day/Night, which I've still only done two of. But despite everything, and how far I've come confidence wise, I've never been able to muster enough of it to do a Face of the...

Why I'll never learn to Drive

I've been an avid read of Psychologies Magazine for quite some time, and even these days I find that I'm really only reading it for David Baddiel's page (I sometimes swear that man is in my head, which is a little bit disturbing!!), there are often little gems that really do hit-home with me.This month's issue, featuring the inspiring Kirsten Dunst, has proven to be even more inspirational to me than many recent issues, but no article has really...

Getting Back on Track

It's pretty fair to say that my Workout Regime, alongside posts on this blog, has been really lax recently. In fact, I haven't done much of one in months, which is really bad and as a result I've put on weight again. Fortunately, it doesn't appear to have gone up too much (currently only three pounds heavier than I was at my last blogging weigh-on, but that's lower than it has been, so I'm happy to be getting it down again).Time for ChangeSo, the...
