Today I'm bring you a little plus size outfit inspiration. I got this amazing new coat from Asos and wanted a chance to show it off and share it with all you lovely people. In with that I thought I would show one of the new sales dresses I got in my <a href="http://vivalakatiej.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/plus-size-january-sales-shopping.html" target="_blank">plus size January sales post</a>.<br />

Now this is the first coat I have purchased in quite some years as I'm not a huge fan on them as I have found most coats don't really fit my shape that well and end up making me look like a big box. <br />
I had heard good things about the Asos curve fit and flare coats and when I saw this little beauty in the sale I thought I would give it a go. I'm so glad I did, this coat fits me like a glove! I love the belted waist as this help to define my figure and gives me a lovely shape. My favourite part of the cost has to be the dipped hem at the back I think it just gives this cost a little something extra. The coat has a felted wool feel and is super warm an cosy. This cost is available in the colours wine and navy and started off at £70 and is not available <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Exclusive-Fit-Flare-Coat-With-Belted-Waist/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4195537&cid=9582&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Wine&totalstyles=74&gridsize=3" target="_blank">here</a> for £35.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(while looking up links I may have just ordered this in the wine colour as well....whoops!)</span><br />

So you may have already seen this dress in the sales clothing haul video I did, lots of you asked if you could see the dresses on so when I decided to wear this new dress to meet my friends for dinner and a movie I though I would take the opportunity to show you how it actually looks on. I'm 5ft 4in so you have some prospective of how long the dress might be on you. I did originally order this in my usual size but it was a little big so I took it back and sized down and now the fit is perfect. I love the little cut down the cleavage as it shows enough to be a little sexy but not enough to be all in your face. I love that when I twirl in this dress is goes out a little, I always wanted dresses like that as a kid I think that was the effect Disney movies had on me. The fit is amazing it shows off all the right curves and hides the lumps and bumps. I am wearing it with a yours clothing think pink waterfall cardigan to add a touch of colour, unfortunately this cardigan is no longer available however they do have a very similar one in purple available <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Purple_Waterfall_Cardigan-(23217).aspx" target="_blank">here</a>. This dress is available <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Black_White_Block_Stripe_Skater_Dress_With_Pleating-(22228).aspx" target="_blank">here</a> for £35. <br />

So I popped over to the shopping centre the other day to exchange some dresses I bought that were too big but when I was in the shop I accidently bought a couple of other items.....whoops! in my defence they were in the sale and in my size so I took it as a sign from the powers that be. <br />
Anyway when I did my last clothing videos/post you guys wanted to actually see me wearing the clothes so I took your advice and did just that. Do let me know if you like me doing it this way. <br />

I fell in love with this sleeveless skater prom dress when I first saw it hanging there on the rail calling my name. Gorgeous black lace over a delicate nude pink background. The bust is lightly padded and the under skirt is made up of a lovely silky material with a mesh trim which creates the lovely flared out effect. <br />
This dress is made from a pretty stretchy material and I could of in fact even sized down so if your above the size 28 that this item goes up to it could still work as the fit is very generous. I really like the V-cut of this dress as it shows a little sexy cleavage without being too in your face so still a very appropriate dress for most formal occasions. The starting price for the dress was £60 but its now available <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/BlackPink_Sleeveless_Floral_Lace_Prom_Dress-(23636).aspx" target="_blank">here</a> for £32 which I believe is an amazing price for such a good quality piece. <br />

Now this second dress isn't my usual style really, I had seen it in yours for a while and just passed it by but I happened to have seen another plus size blogger wearing it on instagram and it look so nice on her that when I saw it in the sale I just had to try it on.<br />
This is another sleeveless skater style dress with a scooped neck and all over floral design with a lovely glitter effect. This dress does come with a skinny patient black belt around the middle however for me this kind of cut my body shape in two, so I decided to take that belt out and add a thicker one myself just under the bust giving me a much better shape. <br />
The dress started off at £35 and is now available <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Red_Black_Glitter_Floral_Jacquard_Skater_Dress_With_Black_Patent-(22229).aspx" target="_blank">here</a> for £18.40.<br />

So I've used a few of the treacle moon shower gels before and have loved them from my 1st shower, my absolute favourite up to this point was the special edition they realised for Christmas called warm cinnamon nights I haven't been able to find it for the last 2 Christmas's though which I'm gutted about! <br />
When I spotted this little beauty in my local Tesco I couldn't wait to try it! Mostly because anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with marshmallows. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSwh24RHoD1o5xhiR72EG1CJknTegxvanaqw35c2vwGQs-gaWmjNR8zqemDBPsrf6seRtiqSydhPRs3AvYV26ET2FHhQduGyWx8I1TON6NlHk5HYWkLu0QWj1Seng1ZqzaKdjpucevuuNF/s1600/p.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSwh24RHoD1o5xhiR72EG1CJknTegxvanaqw35c2vwGQs-gaWmjNR8zqemDBPsrf6seRtiqSydhPRs3AvYV26ET2FHhQduGyWx8I1TON6NlHk5HYWkLu0QWj1Seng1ZqzaKdjpucevuuNF/s1600/p.jpg" height="640" width="287" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This like all the other treacle moon products I have tried has a perfect formula that lathers up tremendously, leaving my skin so silky smooth and the best part is the sent lingers on the skin long after your shower is over, it also makes my bathroom smell delicious. <br />
<br />
The scent is AMAZING it really does smell like marshmallows in fact it reminds me most of those little marshmallows you get in lucky charms. Its a very sweet totally girly scrummy yummy scent. <br />
<br />
Treacle moon is exclusive to Tesco, next time your perusing the aisles I defiantly recommend having a little sniff of this beauty and at only £2.99 for 500ml its worth a punt isn't it. <br />

This is one of my favourite scrubs, being as I have do have blemish prone skin. The blemish control scrub as you would expect has a very grainy texture however the light creamy formula of the base makes it perfectly easy to wash off. So guess what this apricot scrub smells like.......yep apricots! Its a nice light scent though and only last as long as the scrub is on your face. <br />
I exfoliate with this scrub every other day as they recommend using 3-4 times a week. After using this scrub when applying my moisturiser I can defiantly feel the benefits, my face is defiantly smooth as a baby's bum! My main problem area would be my nose, those pesky blackheads! this scrub has done a pretty good job at keeping them at bay. <br />
I love the extremely grainy texture as to me it feels like its really doing the job, that may just be all in my head though. If you do have a rather angry breakout area I would avoid using this scrub directly on that area, as it may be a little harsh. Try to just work around it. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have used many face scrubs in my time but I always come back to this one, even when using other face scrubs I like to keep a bottle of this in my drawer as back up and at £3.99 you cant really go wrong can you. Even better news it that its on offer at <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/St-Ives/St-Ives-Apricot-Blemish-Control-Scrub-150ml/p/292338#.VLKxjmOf6P8" target="_blank">Superdrug</a> for only £1.98 if that's not a bargain I don't know what is!<br />

This blogging thing is going quite well so far isn't it. Almost a whole week :) and I'm loving it. <br />
<br />
So as I did a review of the <a href="http://vivalakatiej.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/benefit-hello-flawless-oxygen.html" target="_blank">Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Foundation</a> a few days ago I thought it would be good to also review the Hello Flawless Powder as this is my favourite go to foundation combo. <br />
This powered foundation boasts clams to be totally customizable coverage with an SPF15.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Colour:</span></strong> Benefit has 10 shades in this line, I bought this at the same time as I bought the Hello Flawless Oxygen Foundation and was colour matched for both at the benefit counter. I am the shade Ivory "gee I'm swell" this is a perfect match for me. I think the range of colours available is pretty extensive, most people would be able to find their perfect match. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><strong><span style="color: blue;">Formula/Texture:</span> </strong><span style="color: black;">I adore this silky powered its very smooth and goes on like silk. This powder glides onto the skin and is very sheer, I tend just to lightly sweep it over my entire face with a large powered brush for a light even coverage that keeps that oily shine at bay. However as this a customizable product so the coverage is buildable and in slight problems areas I often use a little more, dabbing it on with the sponge provided, even when building the product up I have always managed to avoid that terrible "cakey" look. Like it says in the title this formula defiantly gives you a flawless finish.</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><span style="color: blue;"><strong>Price:</strong></span> This powder retails for £25.50 which to me for a powder is quite pricy, considering the product I used before this was under £5. However for this product I am willing to pay the higher price and it does last a long time and the flawless effect is defiantly worth it, I'm yet to find another powered that matches up. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">SPF:</span></strong> This powder has an SPF15 which is pretty good as powders go. I would always recommend using product with a higher SPF underneath though. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">What I Think:</span></strong> Get ready for my rave! I Love Love Love this powder! This was the 1st Benefit product I tried and it totally converted me to the brand. The colour blends with my skin tone perfectly and glides on like smooth fairy dust! I don't know how it does what it does it must be magic! I have never found a product that makes my skin look so naturally flawless and airbrushed. I carry this with me everywhere I go, even though I barely have to touch up as it last pretty much an entire day. <br />
If I had to recommend any benefit product this would be top of the list. It really is true love for me.<br />

Hope your all having a lovely day. I'm here today with a review of my go to holy grail foundation. I have been using this product for just over a year now, and I wanted to share my thoughts on it with you. <br />
This is the first liquid foundation by benefit and was 3 years in the making. Its oil free and boasts an 25.SPF. <br />
<br />

<span style="color: purple;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><strong>Colour:</strong><span style="color: black;"> Benefit have realised 9 shades in this range, I was colour matched at the counter and my shade is Ivory (believe in me) I would highly recommend going to a benefit counter and being colour matched as they did a brilliant job with me, the colour is perfect. I think the range of colours is pretty good, however I do believe there is definitely room for a couple of more darker shades and possibly one shade lighter then the lightest they have on offer. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><strong>Formula/Texture: </strong><span style="color: black;">I absolutely love this formula its silky smooth and goes onto the skin so well, it blends brilliantly weather using a brush, sponge or your finger tips. I personally like to put it on just using my fingers as to me it blends best this way. </span> </span><span style="color: black;">Once blended it really is like a second skin. I have a slight issue with uneven skin tone and this foundation has done an incredible job at combating that. I have also found a little of this goes a long way, unless you have any major skin issues a 20p coin size amount is more then adequate to cover my entire face, chin and neck. The coverage is light to medium, it doesn't cover all blemishes but the upside of this is it look so natural, your skins just shines through. With this being an oil free formula it gives the skin a lovely matt finish and as someone who has suffered with that dreaded oily skin shine I love the matt look. </span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">Price:</span></strong> This foundation retails at £24.50 for 30mls, which is defiantly the higher end for me however I think a good foundation is worth the price. If you start with a good base you can afford to use cheaper products over the top. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">SPF:</span></strong> Contains SPF25 which it absolutely perfect, meaning it is perfect to wear all year round. Although SPF is not good for photography as it can give the pictures a weird effect. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">What I think</span></strong> – I really like this foundation, the colour is perfect for me, and I'm in love with the glowing yet matt effect it has on my skin. Yes it is slightly pricy but it does last for ages. This is defiantly one of my top go to products and I imagine it will be for a long time to come. <br />

<br />
I am a big believer in setting new year resolutions, even if you don't stick with any of them I think its important to at least attempt to achieve some life goals you never know what it might lead to. There is no better time to start something new then the beginning of a band new year. I am always fill with excitement at the possibilities that lay ahead in the next 365 days, although it may all go tits up by week two. Non the less I always set a few goals for myself, and this year I have decided to share them with you in the vain that perhaps sharing my goals with the world may make me put in extra effort to complete them. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">1. Blog More</span></strong><br />
I thought I would start with this one as its obviously about this blog. My goal is to write a post 5 days a week Monday to Friday. I love writing and this is a perfect outlet for me. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">2. YouTube More</span></strong><br />
This one is a lot like the 1st I want to put a lot more time into my YouTube channel and really make a go of it. Since November I have been making more effort where YouTube is concerned and have been loving it. I want to increase that even more this year so I will be going from 1 video a week on a Friday to 3 a week; Monday, Wednesday & Fridays. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">3. Read More</span></strong><br />
I love to read but it somehow always gets pushed to the bottom of the list, well this year I am to read 2 books a month. I think this should be very achievable. This would also include audio books. <br />

<strong><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">4. Do A 5K</span></strong><br />
Now I say do a 5k rather then run a 5k as I think that might be slightly too ambitious at the moment. My plan is to walk/jog/power walk the 5k. This might not seem a lot to some but to me would be a big achievement. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">5. Go To Bed/Wake up Earlier</span></strong><br />
I am a terrible night owl I think that's just my natural body clock. My average bedtime at the moment it about 5am and I have been sleeping till 2pm! I think its about time I change that. So i am to get to bed by midnight and get up at 10am. This should be very doable. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">6. Say Yes</span></strong><br />
I have been thinking about this one for a long time, ever since I read the book and watched the movie The Yes Man. Basically i want to open myself up to more opportunities and experiences. I often say no to thinks as its much easier then going out of my comfort zone. I kind of sick of living that way though, i want to get out there! So i shall be saying yes to everything that comes my way. <br />
<br />
I think that's all for now, do let me know if you have set any resolutions of your own and we can support each other along the way. It will be fun to come back at the end of the year to see how well its gone. <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am feeling super motivated at the moment though, i hope this mind-set stays with me all year!</span> </span><br />

<br />
In my teens and early 20s I loved being single and even when I was the only single one of my friends it didn't bother me in the slightest, I was too busy having a good time. ;)<br />
But now we are all getting older everyone is getting engaged, married or having babies and I'm starting to feel a little left in the dust.<br />
The thing of it is I'm not even sure I want all that serious stuff, I still feel young and crazy! the thought of being tied down makes me want to run 1000 miles away. Having said that when all the girls you used to go out on the town with are now all loved up you cant help but feel slightly alone. <br />
What has really made this hit home is my last single girlfriend is now all loved up too. Don't get me wrong I couldn't be more happy for her, She is an awesome person and the guy she has met is super nice too. Its just now I have nobody to "joke" about being single forever with. <br />
<br />
What makes being the last single girl left even worse is this is inevitably the first thing people always ask you about... so how's the love life?, have you tried Internet dating? what about that new tinder app you need to get on there! and of course from my lovely nan "do you have a man friend yet?" Then when you say no no still single they all look at you with those aww poor lonely single you eyes! <br />
Then comes the speech every single person has heard a million times "he's out there" "give it time" "everyone always finds someone" "you wont be single forever" Well I questions all of this! I know they are just trying to make me feel better but this is all such crap! My auntie is in her 50s never married and still lives at home! this is a screaming reminder that well not everyone does end up happy! <br />
<br />
I have never had a serious relationship and at 20somthing that makes me feel a little odd as everyone around me has had a few by now. I just refuse to settle like I see so many people around me in crappy relationship just cause they think anything is better than being single! I really don't get that! surely a relationship is suppose to enhance your life not make it worse???<br />
<br />
It doesn't help living in such a tiny country town where everyone is shacked up by the time they leave school. I feel if I moved to a big city where the majority of people are career minded and getting married and having babies is the last thing on there mind, I wouldn't really give it a second thought.<br />
<br />
Until then though I will continue to spend my Friday nights in with a giant glass of wine listening to lonely FM and crying into my meal for one...................................or kissing handsome strangers I met on tinder either or! :) Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00921608921689651603noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426289711116383936.post-91129031048732635972013-02-13T23:09:00.000-08:002014-12-18T19:39:36.651-08:00Stay Positive<span style="font-size: x-large;">So recently i got to thinking, i am in general a glass half full positive person. However i am aware i can easily be lead down a negative path by others. For example if my single friends are depressed and complaining about being single i get swept up in it all and start complaining myself and looking at my life as empty, even though when i really think about it i am totally happy being single i embrace it even. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Its becoming more and more clear to me as I'm discovering who i am as a person that i need to keep these negative people at arms length. Now don't get my wrong all of us need a good rant about life every now and again, but I'm talking about the people that NEVER see the positive side to anything, people who take every opportunity to complain about this or that. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I make a conscious decision everyday to "choose happy" a concept i came upon from one of my favourite youtubers ShayCarl. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One of my favourite things about myself is that i always see the silver lining. I never let anything keep me down for too long. I can turn a negative situation into motivation. Its not always easy but the way i see it is one minute spent winging and complaining is one less minute of happiness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Now before i get to philosophical, the point of me writing this post was just to say, I will no longer allow negative people to suck my energy. Surrounding myself with positive influences will help me achieve my goals. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For too long i have allowed negative people to influence my thoughts and make me believe i have no chance of achieving what i want.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you feel you are living a negative life STOP. Now is the time for change. Happiness really is a choice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I post positive messages on my facebook, instagram and twitter daily. Come check them out and start living with your glass half full. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">XOXO</span> <br />

It seemed like everything i wanted to achieve or how i was living my life wasn't good enough for anyone. If its not how they would choose to live or not something they believe in then i shouldn't want to be that way either. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Society and even at times my friends and family have made me feel like i need to change the fundamental person that i am. I have been made to feel like its not OK to be happy the way i am, its not how the majority looks/acts/lives so i must dislike myself for it and am not aloud to be happy till i am completely changed. I feel in fact that a lot of that "majority" would love to live there lives a little different, to live out in the open with whatever little secrets they feel they need to hide from the world, to have the superficial pressure taken off. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am one of those people that can not hide myself in the shadows anymore. I will live my life exactly how i choose. I will dream as big as my imagination lets me, and i refuse to allow people to make me believe i can not achieve everything i want. I believe everyone has the potential to be absolutely anything they want to be, all you need is self belief and the determination to work as long and hard as it takes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I now feel completely free to look exactly they way i am happy with, I will not apologise if my body shape offends you, for being confident in my sexuality as a strong woman or wearing something you deem inappropriate. Like the saying goes i will dance like nobody is watching, love like i have never been hurt, sing like nobody is listening and live like its my last day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We only have one life and it goes past quicker than we can imagine, i really don't want to waste it living my life for someone else? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will ignore the judgement and ignore the hate its says more about them then it does about me.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love what this says. It does puzzle me sometimes that “fat” people are put into a different category, like we arnt the same as the rest of “normal” socity, and like “fat admirers” have to “come out the closet” that’s all just craziness to me how is liking someone of bigger proportions different to say liking blondes?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I sometimes think people feel this way because they like being the victim, but then i look around me and talk to other plus size girls and hear horror stories about abuse on the streets and other such issues.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I wish we could live in a world where people are just people being gay, bi, tall, short, fat, thin, ginger, or anything thing else wasn’t a pre-deciding factor to how we are treated.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So my blog is still defiantly a work in progress, I'm still figuring out my place in the big wide blogger world. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of my New Years resolutions was to put more effort into this blog. I put a lot of time into setting it all up and i really do love blogging when i get down to it. I am however the worlds biggest procrastinator. I constantly think about what to write on here but never end up sitting down to do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have decided from now on i will just write about what is on my mind, and try not to be intimidated by all the other amazing blogs out there. I am unique and so my blog should be as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will still do some of the stuff i have written before but i also want this to be a little online memoir for myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

(Jeez i feel like I'm rambling alot) I want my youtube and my blog to tie in together. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will continue to work on this and hopefully this means i will improve. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

I love this time of year and one of my favourite holidays is Halloween! Nothing better than being snuggled up when its cold and windy outside watching a scary movie eating popcorn. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since i bought my first Yankee candle last Christmas i cant get enough of them. I just think they finish off a room so well and with all the many different scents they can really set the mood. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also of all the scented candles i have tried i believe these have by far the best kick they can fill the whole house.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So when i was browsing yankeedirect.com and spotted the newly launched Halloween scents i couldn't help but get one. After reading all the descriptions i had to go with the Witches Brew as I'm a big fan of musky scents. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is how the website described the candle: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yankee Candle Witches Brew Medium Jar- The spicy sweet aroma of exotic patchouli casts a captivating Halloween spell. Create the perfect Halloween atmosphere at home with this special seasonal fragrance!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To me this candle completely sums up the Halloween mood its dark, musky, bewitching scent really does conger up thoughts of witches making potions and casting spells in the deep dark woods. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My only disappointment is that they dont make this candle in a large size, going back to stock up i think. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">XOXOX</span><br />

Well you could sit alone and read some boring book about some non-existent sexy billionaire and dwell on how uneventful your life is OR You could invite the girls over, put on some awesome cheesy music I'm thinking Bonnie Tyler (nothing beats a good power balled) and grab....the newly launched Lambrini Cider to really get the party started. Nothing like a cheeky bit of Lambrini to lube up the conversation! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">OK so as a Bzz agent i got the opportunity to try the new ciders from lambrini. This is my totally honest review of them:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are three new flavours; Summer Fruits, Forest Fruits and Apple & pear.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all I'm loving the cute bottles this drink comes in, the little bottles are so fun, i can easily picture myself lazing in the garden sipping one of these from my straw. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The price point for these products is really good you can pick up a pack of 4 small bottles for £4.50 and the big bottles are £3.09 both available at Tesco, Asda and other high street stores. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So the most important part is how they taste right? Well i was actually pretty surprised by how much i enjoyed theses, they are really light and fruity, the summer fruits flavour was a little sweet for my liking however if your are a fan of pic 'n' mix your would definitely enjoy this. The apple & pear tasted like fizzy apply juice to me which i really liked but my favourite has to be the Forest fruits flavour is wasn't as sweet as the summer one but was still deliciously fruity. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Over all i would say these fun flirty little drinks would be perfect for girly nights in talking about the boys, BBQs or getting ready for that big night on the town.</span> <br />

I'm not always a massive chocolate fan especially in the hot summer weather. I love a bit of pic'n'mix so was looking around for something like that but a little less calorific. <br />
I was told about this recipe by one of my old slimming world friends. I thought i would give it a go and the outcome was surprisingly delicious. <br />
So here is the recipe for you to try yourself, its so super easy. <br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you have all been enjoying this awesome sunny weather we have been having, i know i have.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However after coming in from a super fun day playing in the park (including a rather childish water fight), i realised my rather silly mistake in not putting on any sun protection as now i resemble a delicious yet very RED lobster.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So this got me thinking about all the great sun safety tips i have picked up over they years but foolishly don't always practise (i will be from now on, red is not a good look on me), and i thought i would share them with you guys.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you enjoy them, now where is that after sun.</span><br />
<br />
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Beware of aromatherapy oils, some oils such as citrus oils react badly to ultraviolet light from the sun and can cause skin to burn more easily so just be careful what your using during the summer months.</span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Vitamins C and E may help protect skin against sunburn and could possibly help reduce the risk of skin cancer by neutralising damaging free radicals that are protected by ultraviolet radiation coming from the sun. Still of course always use suncream.</span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I know this isn't going to be a popular tip but covering up with clothing is always a good way to protect yourself from the sun. Wearing sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats is a slightly more stylish way to protect your eyes and face from the suns rays If you must wear next to no clothing (well that's what summers for right?) then make sure your suncream has an SPF of 15 or above </span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Stay out of the sun during peak hours, between 11am and 2pm, or take cover under a tree or</span> <span style="font-size: large;">anywhere shaded, as this is when the sun's UVA rays are strongest.</span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Make sure to apply your suncream 30mins before you are out in the sun. Also make sure to reapply your suncream on a regular basis if your protection is waterproof so will not be washed off by playing in the water or when you sweat, you should reapply every 2hours. obviously if your protection isn't waterproof you should reapply more regularly.</span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">When applying sun protection remember the not so obvious places such as ears, lips, hands and neck.</span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">After smoking, sun exposure is the greatest wrinkle-creator for skin. Use moisturising suncreams with high SPF to maximise your skins chances of staying healthy and youthful. No one wants to look like an old handbag now do they.</span> </li>
</ul>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So i got this nail polish a few months back in my December feel unique box, when i 1st saw it i thought that's not for me, put it in the draw with the rest of my polishes and forgot about it. However the other day when it first started to get hot i looked at my then purple glitter nails and thought i needed something a little more summery. I'm normally a fan of dark polishes so i didn't have a lot in my repertoire, i remember i had this so thought i would just give it a go. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well i am pleased to say i love love love it!! So much that i wanted to order the full sized bottle but sadly it is no longer available, so I'm now searching for a good dupe. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not a fan of the matt finish but that is easily solved with my Sally Hansen diamond shine top coat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I applied two pretty thick coats and i think it turned out pretty awesome. The perfect summery girly pink. This polish has encouraged me to try out more bright and pastel shades, i feel a nail varnish shopping trips coming on!</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am love love loving this new album from Gossip, i would say i like it even better then the first album of theirs i listened to which founded my love for them in the first place Standing in the way of control. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This album seems to have a lot lets attitude then the previous two i have listen to, there is more of a pop feel to this and I'm loving it. The songs are a lot less shouty the sound is much smoother. Beth's voice is still as powerful and amazing as ever. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you were one of the few that didn't like Gossip's other albums this may be the one to change your mind, Its a lot more listener friendly. Having employed pop powerhouse Brian Higgins (who founded Xenomania, responsible for writing hits for Sugababes, Girls Aloud etc) as their producer the result has been 11 friendly dance pop tracks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I'm starting to feel sorry for the guys out there, if we don't know what we want how can we expect them to know? Is it just me? I feel like I'm looking for the impossible, i see couples around me all the time that seem to have settled for the nearest person that showed some interest. Part of me wishes that i could settle but i just cant. I have tried dating the guys that i "should" be seeing, the guys that your nan would approve of but there is just no spark. On the other hand i have hooked up with the bad guys that give you that 1st initial thrill then try treating you like crap, and i have to much respect for myself to be putting up with that. So what is the answer? I'm going to write a full on list of everything i want my partner to be no holding back. I am fully aware i am no wonder woman myself so the chances of my dieing alone cause i think no1 is good enough for me are sky high. This is just a bit of fun. (based on completly reality)<br />
I'm going to try and put this in order of importance but if I'm being real i want it all. <br />
<br />
*<strong>Funny</strong>! I'm talking Russell Brand funny not you think your hilarious but your really not. I do giggle alot but dont let this confuse you a giggle and a laugh are very different. <br />
<br />
*<strong>Attractive</strong>. How attractive depends on how funny you are the funnier you are the less attractive you have to be. <br />
<br />
*<strong>Honest.</strong><br />
<br />
*<strong>Protective</strong>. I don't mean over bearing or crazy jealous, just that i would be safe with you and if something did go down you would be prepared to defend my honour.<br />
<br />
*<strong>Ambition</strong>. Even if your working at pizza hut if you have bigger goals and are working towards them that's what matters. <br />
<br />
*<strong>Talent</strong>. Talented guys are very sexy, being able to play an instrument or sing gives you extra hot points. If you can teach me something new that's a win. <br />
<br />
*<strong>Knowing</strong> <strong>your own mind</strong>. Don't just agree with everything i say cause you want me to think we have lots in common that's so dull. Loving having a bit of a debate with someone who thinks differently to me. <br />
<br />
*<strong>Fun</strong>. I love playing in the snow and board games and dancing to the words in song like you did when you were a kid. <br />
<br />
*<strong>Emotionally stable</strong>. I am very chill and could never date an angry guy this my be a little extreme but if a guy shouted and cursed at me that would be it. Don't stress about the little things <br />
<br />
*<strong>Crying</strong>. This is linked to the above this might sound harsh but i cant stand a crying man well at least not in the 1st few years of dating. If you want to cry that fine do it at home on your own into your pillow. <br />
<br />
*<strong>Non judgemental</strong>. I am extremely open minded and cant stand prejudice towards anyone <br />
<br />
*<strong>Patient</strong>. I am aware i have some issues and i need someone who will call me on my shit, When I'm being an idiot cause I'm scared i need them to hug me, kiss me on the forehead and say OK.<br />
<br />
*<strong>Romantic</strong>. Now i haven't had much romance in my life but i want it so i need someone who will force it upon me as i may not deal with it too well at 1st. Oh and you must adore me of course!<br />
<br />

I literally can not get enough of this hand cream. Its is so smooth and silky, it just melts right into the skin. The aromatic smell instantly chills me out as soon as i take the cap off, sometimes i just sit in my room smell it, is that weird? lol. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">OK so this is what the website had to say "A multi-award winning, seriously rich hand cream blended with a unique and uplifting blend of renowned ancient skin conditioners, to really turn back the clock on hard-working hands and make even the driest hands smooth and soft to touch"</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have never really been a hand cream fan before but this product has really converted me. I love how nice and thick the formula is and not at all greasy. The Balance Me team have made this so moisturising it even works wonders on my heels, soothing and softening after a hard days shopping. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This product is 98.8% Natural and i hear Kirsten Dunst is a big fan due to the pure and natural nature of this cream. Well if its good enough for the movie stars its certainly good enough for me and at only £6.00 for 30mls or £14.50 for 100ml who can resist.</span><br />

There is also a link between having less then 6hours sleep and obesity, but its not clear why that is. Professor Brian Walker of Edinburgh Uni say poor sleep may cause an increase in levels of the stress hormone cortisol. High cortisol levels are associated with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol he says. Your also far more likey to reach for high sugar and high fat snacks after a poor nights sleep. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The varnish is from Rimmel and only £1.99 such a bargain for such a gorgeous colour. I have used quite a few Rimmel nail varnishes over the years and I'm loving these little pots, with a decent top coat ( i use Sally Hensen diamond shine) they last on my nails about 5 days i would say. Although having said that i don't really have "workers" hands so I'm not sure how they would hold up in tougher situations.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The colour 198 AZURE is the most amazing iridescent blue, almost like a light petrol. Two coats and your good to go. I love how super shiny the colour is as I'm not really a fan of this matt trend going around lol. The varnish doesn't take that long to dry either so good to add a pop of colour if your in a rush. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are so many awesome colours in the I love lasting finish range and at only £1.99 i will defiantly be stocking up. </span><br />

Rahhhh i thought that's it, so with half plucked brows i headed down to my local boots in search of the perfect tweezers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I found this awesome set by No7 they come in a black and cream foe-leather case that closes with a popper. You get 3 really good quality tweezers in this pack 1 slanted 1 straight and 1 pointed so you can get even those teeny tiny hair. A lot of tweezers i have bought in the past have been kind of blunt and even when new not great at grabbing the hairs, these and sharp making it so easy to just grab and pull (ouch).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At £12.50 that is defiantly the most i have spent on tweezers but i would say if you have the money these are the ones to get. I love the handy carry pouch so i can just pull them out and get that pesky hair i see taunting me in the mirror lol. </span><br />
