Motivation Moodboard

Images sourced from Pinterest UK (minus the trainers... that's mine!)
When I was a child, cutting out pictures from magazines and printing things out to make moodboards and collages was always one of my favourite things to do.
Of course as an adult now it's not really as acceptable to have a fun wall of mix-match pictures covering your bedroom... especially when you live with your partner.

I still have a tendency to cut pictures out of magazines though.... yes I'm that girl.
I even have a small notebook that I have glued in styles, looks, tips and images that I love but because it takes up so much time it's not that often I get to sit down and do it....

So.... what better way to stay motivated and have something I can see all the time than to create it digitally.
Obsessed with moodboards and collages I find it SO enjoyable creating them on my laptop. (For a tutorial on how I do this please click here :)

Here is my Motivation Moodboard for the next few months...

Staying Focused
With my new job in full swing I really want to keep on throwing myself into it as much as I possibly can, I learning new stuff every single day and I love it! I'm so grateful that I got this opportunity to start in this industry and I want to do as well as I possibly can.

Eating Clean
Before Christmas my diet was amazing. All clean, healthy, natural foods and I hadn't felt that good about myself in years. 2016 so far has NOT gone well for me and I am SO disappointed in myself. Time to rewind to last year and remember how great I was feeling.

Image
Yes. Margot Robbie is my ultimate girl crush.
But, I shall not compare myself.... because I mean that never ends in happy thoughts! I LOVE her hair here and with my hair appointment just around the corner I think I'll be taking this photo with me!

Organisation
I'm becoming more and more organised as the weeks go on and I love it. Not only at work, I want my home to be tidy, organised and clutter free - it's so much better for me, mess = stress.

Saving For A Puppy?
It's no secret that being an owner of a French Bulldog is probably the number one thing on my bucket list. Fingers crossed we can move out of our flat over the next year or so and then I'm hoping it's then puppy time! So I want to start putting a little money away each month for the little nugget!

Worrying
I love this little image about only focusing on what you can control. I spend so much time worrying about things that really don't matter and won't change as much as I worry about them, time to just focus on the things that matter!

Writing
Like I said in my blog make-over post, I really want to focus on my content. I love writing and this year I want to stretch myself and head out of the normal 'beauty review, wishlist, favourites' types of posts! Plus.... I still really want to write that book, I'm determined to get that started this year, even it's just a page a week.

Reading
First up how gorgeous is that image?! I've already talked about this (here) but reading has now taken the place of my nightly social media addiction. Every weeknight I've been putting my phone down earlier then normal and had a nice little reading session before bedtime. It's so relaxing and my love for Harry Potter has well and truly increased by a million percent!

Running
Yes. I must start again.

Current Style Crushes : Summer 2015

I was casually looking in my side bar the other day and checking what posts had been most popular for the week (I like to see what people have been enjoying:) and I was really surprised to see a post from over a year ago!

My 'current style crushes' post from May 2014 was up there with all my latest posts as one that had been most clicked on, so I thought it was about time I did an updated version and shared with you my current style crushes for right now. (Summer 2015 to be precise!)

#1 Rochelle Humes

#2 Emma Willis

#3 Margot Robbie

#4 Ferne McCan

#5 Kourtney Kardashian

This Week I'm Loving... #10

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Okay... I LOVE this show! By the time this post goes up I'm 99% sure I would have seen the whole season already! It is hilarious, I don't want to spoil it so if you have Netflix go and watch it now! (The theme song is the best!)

MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick
I've wanted this beauty for so long now, so when I saw it was back in stock I thought I'd treat myself! Such a gorgeous nude, I'm sure it will be featured on here alot more!

Fringed H&M Bag
This was the best purchase I've made in a while! I love love love this new bag, it is the perfect size for me - I can't wait to take it to Berlin with me this week!

The Following Season 3
Yay! I have been waiting for this for what seems like forever! This show is awesome, yes it's tense and a bit gory but it is brilliant, love a bit of Kevin Bacon!

Make-up Revolution Contour Brush
This has slowly become my everyday go-to brush for contouring! I use this with my Rodial Contouring powder and my Mary-Lou Manizer from theBalm! They are only £3 too, bargain! 

Chocolate Chip Hobnobs
I have come to a serious conclusion, chocolate chip hobnobs are better than chocolate hobnobs... call me crazy - but they are!

Focus
Yes Margot Robbie was in my post last week BUT she's making an appearance once again! I went to see Focus in the week and thought it was awesome! I love a good con-artist movie/TV show.... seriously thy need to bring back Hustle - that was a favourite of mine! Will Smith and Margot are great and my crushes on them both are strong.

Afterlight
I'm all for fun editing apps and this one is now a favourite of mine! I found out about this after reading a post from the lovely Megan from Thumbelina Lillie! It isn't a free app which sucks but I love all the filters and thing you get on it so I think it's worth it!

Eylure 101 Eyelashes
These are now my eyelashes of choice! I used to be obsessed with 107's but they've change them and now thy feel way too big for my teeny tiny eyes! These are great though, I keep buying the 3 packs from Boots, I wish I could wear them 24/7!

This Week I'm Loving... #9


Modern Family - Facetime Epsiode
This episode was genius! I love Modern Family, it neverfails to make me laugh and this week's episode was not different! Filmed all via facebook this 20 minute episode was so so clever... and a great advert for Apple haha!

EOS Blueberry & Acai Lipbalm
 I feel like I've talked about these loads recently. I found this one hiding when I was tidying up the other day and was so happy to see it! It smells yummy and helps my chapped lips out no-end!

Vampire Academy Book 2 - Frostbite
I have finally got back into reading and I've picked up where I left off! Hopefully I'll be finished with this series before the summer.... there is 6 of them you know! I have soooo many books on my wishlist at the moment!

My New Bed & Early Nights
Finally we have our new bed! We had a bit of a pickle with it all.... (someone may have ordered the wrong sized bed.... although that someone was not me!) ... but after nearly 2 weeks of sleeping on a mattress on the floor we have a bed - and I am so happy! This week I've also been going to bed super early which has made me feel alot brighter!

E45 Overnight Hand Cream
You may have seen this on here earlier this week! This stuff has been a lifesaver for my dry, rashy hands - I'm so impressed!

Margot Robbie
Ultimare girl crush alert! After watching The Wolf Of Wall Street once again last weekend (one of my favourite films ever), seeing Margot at the Oscars and all the Focus premiere's I have fallen in love again! She is amazing... and making me want to cut my hair.... again! #flawless

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masks
The best way to relax and give yourself a beauty treatment for under £1! I love these things, I have a draw full of them and this past week I have dipped into it more than once! Hot Chocolate & Hot Spring Sauna are my favourites!

PLL.... the build up the the Big ReveAl
I love this show so much, every single week I get more and more into it and I am waiting so patiently for the big reveal next month..... only 4 more weeks girls and boys! Who do you think it is?
