I'm Loving... #22

Total Divas

Being a reality TV show whore I cannot believe I haven't started watching this sooner - I am obsessed. Like crazy obsessed! This show is awesome - I am currently watching season 1 and season 4 at the same time and I'm sure it won't be long until I'm totally caught up! I LOVE the Bella Twins - girl crush overload!

Holly Madison - Down The Rabbit Hole

I've mentioned this a few times over the last few weeks. I was a huge fan of Girls Next Door and a big fan of Holly - I met her in Vegas and she was lovely! As soon as this book was announced I was counting down the days until I could get my mitts on it! It is soooo interesting, you really do see the other side of Playboy and the famous mansion! I haven't finished it yet, purely because I don't want it to end so I'm making it last for a little while longer! If you want to know all the inside goss I suggest you go grab this while you can! I got my hardback cover from Amazon :)

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Perfume

You may have seen my post yesterday about this new perfume in my life! New signature scent - I'm in love! (Review here!)

L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara

Ooooo something else I've done a review on recently! I have used this every single day since buying it - it is brilliant for my short stumpy lashes and used alongside my eyelash curlers this really does help to make a big difference! (full review here)

Touch Of Silver Hairspray

After trying out some new do's recently (like here) I've been using alot more hairspray than usual! I want to start wearing my hiar up more so that it grows faster - last time I grew my hair avoiding heat was the best way! This hairspray is amazing! It feels so light and smells amazing (a little like Aussie) - everything I try from this brand is just perfect for my hair!

Ru Paul  What's The Tee? Podcast

I have become a total lover of podcasts and Ru Paul's What's The Tee? has been making my journeys to and from work a whole lot better! Not only do Ru and Michelle make me full on LOL whilst walking down the road but they have such much wise life advice that I love taking in!

Crunchy Nut Chocolate Granola

Jesus Christ someone needs to take this stuff away from me. I honestly think I could sit and eat the whole bag in one sitting.

Disney Pixar's - Lava

If any of you have been to see Inside Out yet you would have been greeted with this super cute Pixar short before the film began. I fell in love with it - the song makes me so so happy.

Simple Illuminating Radiance Cream

I've been using this stuff for the past couple of weeks instead of a primer and I have been loving my skin! It works just as well as a primer and leaves me with a lovely - non-shiny/greasy glow! IT's still half price at Boots at the moment - try it out girls you won't be disappointed!

New Look Platform Sandals

Did someone say new shoes? You may have spotted these in my OOTD for the Southampton Bloggers meet up on my Instagram (here) - they were literally the most comfy shoes and even though I felt a little tall compared to some of the girls in flats I loved how they looked with my skirt and top combo... and the best thing?! They are only £12 in the sale - here!

What's In My Beach Bag?

This season Boohoo decided that they wanted to put a summer spin on the classic 'what's in my bag?' post/tag (yes we've all written them/read them) and what better idea when the sun is shining than a 'what's in my beach bag?' version!
I live so close to the beach and being able to walk there in less than 10 minutes makes it so easy to pop down and enjoy the sunshine when we are lucky enough to have some so I know what I need to take with me each time without even having to think about it.
 This is also the same sort of bag I'd take down to the pool or beach with me on a holiday!

My 'beach bag/pool bag' contents are actually pretty different to my usual everyday handbag.... I mean I don't really need 15 lipsticks while I'm splashing around or sunbathing do I?!
So here's a little look for you all at what I like to take to the beach plus a couple of gorgeous summer bits from boohoo to complete my beach babe look!

When it comes to my beach bag contents... I'm pretty lazy and don't pack alot.
I need stuff that's going to make me 1. comfortable and 2. entertained, I can't just lie back and sunbathe like I used too as a teenager, I need to something to at least just read/listen too and with the beauty bits I keep it so basic!
I'm just going to go through the bits and bobs pictured above and then I can get onto the gorgeous duo I received from Boohoo's holiday shop.

Now a bikini, for me, is something that I have with me when I'm sunning myself on holiday (obvs), but at home in my small town I'm way too self-conscious too whip out a 2 piece and strut around on the sand, but obviously it IS a must-have in my standard beach bag, this dotty green number is from ASOS (and it was a bargain in the sale!)
Next is my number one thing I have to take to the beach with me and that's - reading material! Right now I'm reading Holly Madison's Down The Rabbit Hole.... and I am obsessed (seriously if you are a Holly/Playboy/Girls Next Door fan you HAVE to buy this!).
There's nothing better than escaping into a book whilst tanning on the beach and hours can pass and pass and I won't even get bored if I have a good book to get stuck into.
Hair bands are ALWAYS in my bag no matter where I am going, if it's hot you're going to want to get that hair up and out the way - taking back-up's in my bag is a no-brainer!

Next up.... anti-bac. Yes, this has got to come with me to the beach - sand, sea and everything in between ... it's not clean, so if I'm having a snack or heading to the nearest beach cafe I want to be able to clean my hands quickly - I'm a bit of a germophobe and I don't want bacteria all over my Mr. Whippy!

Lipbalm is another must! I'm not going to have a face full of make-up on but lip balm is great for a little tint of colour and keeping my lips hydrated - ones with SPF in are obviously alot better to rock whilst exposed in the sunshine don't forget!
SUNCREAM. I mean... that's just obvious.
Sunglasses - also another obvious one - easier to read my book, they protect my eyes from the sun, stop me squinting AND hide the fact I'm not wearing any make-up!
A hairbrush* has to be in the top 3 things I would take with me to the beach. Especially I'm heading to the sea or if it's windy, my hair can be a total nightmare so having a brush handy helps me keep it under control!
I always like to have my headphones with me - normally just for my phone. Whether it's music or, my new found love, podcasts, when I've had enough of reading it's fun to lie back and listen to my favs!

Last but not least - a towel! You can't forget your towel when heading to the beach.... that's why my beach bag's are always so big!

Bridget Border Print Playsuit* | Millie Ghillie Tie Gladiator Sandals*

Now....  beach fashion! Boohoo let me pick out 2 gorgeous bits from their holiday collection to help me create a lovely summer look and after a long, hard look and lots of umming and arring I decided on these two bits.

My favourite tings to wear to the beach or the pool are either a maxi dress or a playsuit - items that are comfortable, quick and easy to get on and off and when I saw this playsuit I feel in LOVE immediately!

I love cold shoulder detailing and this pattern is so so pretty! I got a size 12 and it fits really well - I'm even thinking I might wear this to the Bestival (when I manage to get myself a ticket!) so no doubt you are going to be seeing this alot more! (Plus I've just seen that it has gone into the sale so it's now only £15!!!)

The sandals I picked out are super cute, with the lace up front these are a lovely little pair of shoes to keep you looking on trend even with the plainest of outfits - I wore these out for lunch last week and got so many compliments on them, I was seriously glad I had given my feet a pamper because everyone was looking at them!

The fact they are white aswell makes them go with so much - these are easily going to be my most worn pair of sandals this summer I can feel it already!

What do you like to carry in your beach bag? Do you have any go-to beach outfits aswell? Do you like to keep it comfortable or do you still get glammed up for a stroll along the seafont or on the sand?

ClearZal Footcare : At Home Pedicure Pampering

I feel like I've talked about feet alot over the last couple of months... I hope you don't mind! Summer is tootsie time and with the sun (hopefully) making an appearance for longer than a day in the next month most of us are going to be rocking sandals and flip flops like no other!

Pampering my feet is something I try and do a fair bit over the Summer, there's nothing worse than horrible feet and I always get paranoid people are staring at mine haha!

 ClearZal recently contacted me and asked if I'd like to try out some of their products to give myself a full DIY luxury pedicure at home - so of course I thought yes please!

I was treated too 4 of their full sized products and a few other goodies :

(Pictured above) ClearZal Foot Cleanser*, ClearZal Silk Busy Feet Energising Creme*, ClearzZal Silk Exfoliating Scrub*& ClearZal Silk Foot Food Nutritional Creme*.

I decided to set aside some time one evening and give myself a full on pamper! I started by soaking my feet in warm water and then using the foot cleanser to give my feet a bit of an extra clean than just regular shower gel.

The cleanser is one of those products I would probably walked past in a store normal - due to it's 'clinical' / 'medical' look.

 With tea tree oil this gel cleanser smells lovely and fresh and helps kill 99.9% of all bacteria and nasty stuff that may have found their way onto your feet throughout the day! Working on my feet 5 days a week and having them stuffed in shoes and socks all day in the heat this stuff is the perfect step to keep my feet healthy and all round at their best! 

After I had rinsed the cleanser off I then got out my 360 foot file and used that to buff away any dead/hard skin on my heels and balls of my feet.

With that done I moved onto the scrub. I love scrubs and I knew that this would help to soften and smooth out my feet even more.

 With natural pumice and aloe vera this stuff removes dead skin cells and allows for new cell growth. I used a small amount on each area I wanted to focus on and rubbed in a circular motion for a couple of minutes, leaving them feeling brand new!

Last but not least I lathered my feet, ankles and lower legs up with Foot Food - the thick nutritional creme. The perfect ending to the at home pedicure, I love popping this on and then putting on a light pair of cotton socks to help it fully soak into my feet overnight.

My feet literally felt brand new after this new ritual of mine and I'm going to keep it up by doing it every week!

In between these pamper sessions I have been using the Busy Feet creme too! This menthol creme is perfect for tired, achey or swollen feet as it helps to energise and refresh. The scent really reminds me of mouthwash - so although it's not my usual yummy sweet scented product it does give a feeling of cooling and rejuvenation.

If you're having any discomfort this is a great pick me up - I feel like this would be fantastic to take on holiday with you if you are going to be walking alot!

Overall I have been so impressed with this range - to be totally honest it isn't something I would normally look at twice in a store as it isn't the usual fun looking popular brand I go for BUT it really does work and I have really seen a really difference!

You can find out more and buy ClearZal products from their fab website - here - there's a few more products I think I might have to try out after looking on there like the tea tree foot soak and pain reliving roll on!

OOTD : Summer Lovin' Smock & Sandals

It's an OOTD! I feel like I haven't done one of these in forever (sorry), mainly because 50% of my life I'm in my work uniform and 40% of the time I'm in pjs which only leaves 10% of my life trying to look cute!

Nevertheless I love fashion and on my days off I like to glam up and put a bit of effort in, even if I don't have many plans!
 So here is a little look at an outfit I put together the other day for a day in the sunshine... (yes my legs are white, lets not all dwell on it - I'll be in Florida soon and you won't be laughing then!)

Lol at my feet on my blog... #footblogger

Floral Headband : Primark
Sunglasses : Primark

Dress : River Island

Bag : ASOS

Watch : eBay

Sandals : Daniel Footwear*

I had been looking at this dress for a long while on ASOS (it's RI but I always like to get my stuff from their on ASOS due to my free delivery with ASOS Premier!) - I've always been a bit dubious about smock dresses as I'm not really really slim so I worry they will make me look even bigger, like wearing a tent! As it was in the sale (total bargain!) I thought I'd just order it and see and as soon as I tried it on I fell in love! 

I really like the unusal half and half pattern and it is so comfy... and thankfully doesn't make me look like a size 24!

The bag is from ASOS and again in the sale (I like a bargain alright!), super cute everyday bag that I have used constantly since getting it!

Last up I'm going to talk about these gorgeous metallic snakeskin sandals! These were sent to me last month from the extremely lovely people at Daniel Footwear, a brand which I had heard of and always gazed at when strolling around Gunwharf Keys in Portsmouth.

These are the Daniel Tinged Womens Bronzed Reptile Gladiator Sandal* and I can't begin to tell you how amazing the quality of these is. 

I'm never one for spending alot on sandals and things for summer as I normally just buy new ones each year! These are quite expensive in my opinion but after wearing them I think the price is totally jusifiable!

You can tell alot of time has gone into creating these, I've never had shoes that felt so nice!

They are so so comfortable and really do fit like a dream. I was a little worried at first as the initial zipping up at the back felt so tight and I was so scared that I was going to zip my skin up with it (cringe) but once on they don't feel tight at all and are a perfect fit! I like that they have an easy zip fastening , lots of buckles and things put me off shoes, especially in the summer when you need them to be quick and easy to take on and off!

I have been wearing these so much, they look great on and have been amazing for this crazy hot weather we have been having and are 100% coming with me to Orlando!

So they we have it, another OOTD for you guys! Please let me know what you think, I always get so nervous when uploading posts like this... I'm such a wimp!

30 Day Snap #8 - My Favourite Place

Today I headed down to my favourite place in the world! The beach near my house is by far one of my favourite places to be and with the weather being amazing I couldn't not go! I have the best memories from growing up here and it is beautiful- especially on a day like today! Only a ten minute walk away from my house whenever we can me and my friends love to come down here! Today I caught up with a few friends who have come home for the weekend and watched some beach football ( yup that is a legit sport!)  Think I've got some questionable tan lines developing though - opps! The sandals I'm wearing are from Topshop and my nail polish is Action by Essie! 
What are you upto this weekend?

Catch up here, Days - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
