Blogging wise, this year has been a bit of a mess. Starting last year in early December where things didn't really go to plan, despite hours of planning and organising for blogmas things just did not materialise. It just goes to show that no matter how well organised things may be, there is still an element of unknown which could crop up at any moment. This year has not been very consistent, in terms of the amount of posts and quality of posts.

Soap and Glory is a much loved brand for their skincare, bath and body products as well as their makeup range. Exclusive to Boots, they have a huge range of products for every need in all of their ranges. Nobody likes that sticky feeling after moisturising, and feeling like you need to stand around for ten minutes flapping your arms while trying to encourage a moisturiser to sink in. It's for this reason that I rarely used to do a full body moisturise regularly, but something which is really important in keeping your skin in the best condition. Soap and Glory Righteous Butter is a full on body moisturiser, which sinks in and leaves your skin feeling so soft and replenished.

My career options are something which I have never really spoken about on my blog, something I never wanted to publicly share. Not because it was particularly embarrassing, or something which had to be kept secret but more because it wasn't guaranteed and what if I didn't get in? It's hard enough having to explain to just about every friend of the family that although you said that's what you wanted to do, you can't because you weren't excepted.

Although I don't have a daughter, or any children or do I plan on having any soon. With Mother's Day tomorrow I thought I would share a list of things which I have seen floating about pinterest, which I have then adapted and added things to. It's one of those things which I just read and thought 'yes' and decided to share it with you all, some food for thought.

Everyone has those days when although its not exactly a makeup free day, its still not really a makeup kinda day. When you need to go somewhere, but really can't be bothered with a full face of makeup or are in a massive rush. In all honestly I have been wearing this makeup a lot more regularly than I would imagine for someone who loves makeup. I'm usually no makeup, or full face their really is no in between for me, except now this.
