Budget Glamglow dupe - L'Oreal Pure Clay Mask

Don't get me wrong, I love high end skincare, but unfortunately my bank balance doesn't always agree. When you're trying to save, the last thing you need to do is spend twice the amount on something you don't need to. Throwback a year or so, I wouldn't have second guessed myself when buying expensive make up/skincare, but it isn't always needed. You sometimes get products which are pretty on par or even better than the higher end products, I use so much more high street foundation now than I used to and I prefer them so much more. But again, nothing does beat a new Urban Decay Naked palette or the Urban Decay Setting Spray!

2018 Year of Reflection

2018 has really tested me, it started off really well and had some amazing trips with my best friends. But towards the end turned to ever so slight turmoil which I'm hoping will look up in 2019. I've experienced a lot in the yoyo year of 2018, and love nothing more than a reflection on what I've been lucky, or even not so lucky to experience, and to then learn from these experiences.

I really want to work on myself more in 2019, I did quite well in 2018 until I had a huge set back and now I'm feeling that lonely lost feeling all over. I mean a month long trip to Bali would 100% solve this, but unfortunately my bank and credit card says it's a big no no. So instead I will have to concentrate on myself, and do what is best for me going forward. Whether that's finding a new gym, making new friends, and getting myself out there in the blogging world like I've always wanted to over the years. Unfortunately the late 2018 has me feeling like the uncool kid of the group in real life and blog life, think it's time to give myself a shake.

Christmas Jumper Season

* This post includes a gifted item

So Christmas Jumper season is now upon us, and I've been wearing one every weekend since December. It's Christmas, so I have to made the most of the heaps of Christmas jumpers I have, and conveniently we have Christmas jumper week next week at work. So surely this is a prime excuse to go and buy loads of new ones right? Well not loads, but it's definitely an excuse for a newbie or two. This Boohoo one is my favourite one so far, nothing can beat a good Home Alone reference now can there. I haven't even watched it this month, so that can be my quest before Christmas!
