My Instagram Favourites

I've been thinking about writing this post for a long while now. Instagram is something I check probably about ten times a day, it's such a fun and easy social media platform and I have been using it I saw iJustine introducing it back in like 2010! 
As the years have past Instagram has grown grown with millions of accounts now active it has become the place for people to not only share their scenery or what they are having for dinner but to show their talents, work and even photography skills!

There's always a few accounts who's photos I am forever double-clicking and turning green with envy over (am I sad?) and I just LOVE finding new people to follow! 
I've seen other bloggers do posts like this before and I've found some great Instagrams through them so I thought it would be fun to finally share a few of my favs too!

I first stumbled across Kristina when I found one of her pieces of art online (a Disney Princess one obvs) and went on a mission to hunt down the origin of it! This girl's talent is totally and utterly INSANE. I cannot get my head around how incredible each and every picture she creates is. If you like art, cartoons, disney, beauty.... you HAVE to follow this girl. Every photo will have you saying Wow.

Real life friend alert! Yup, this is one of my best buddies and I bloody love her Instagram! Amber has amazing personal style and she's always rocking amazing outfits and make-up which make her stand out from the crowd. She's forever uploading photos of cute accessories alongside pretty whimsical things.... oh and unicorns! Go & follow her and tell her I sent you!

carlyrowena

Carly is a blogger and youtuber I first found through Liza P and I have been following her ever since! Carly is a personal trainer and her fitness blog and YT channel are so inspiring and motivating. Her Instagram has been amazing lately whilst she's been on her travels. I mean just look how beautiful it all looks! If you're looking for a fitness girly this is the one!

shaym

Oh look it's a Pretty Little Liar! (Yes I am one of those girls who is seriously obsessed with that show!) I love all the cast and their instagrams, but Shay always has such a range of amazing images. This girl is beautiful and I always love looking through her fun foodie pics and gorgeous selfies - she always seems to be having fun!

laurajenkinson

I mean it's pretty obviously why I follow this girl - how incredible is she! Her Instagram is full of these insane lip arts (how cute is Sid?!) aswell of loads of other make-up looks! Laura is super talented, go and have a look through her feed she has soooo many great posts!

Blogger alert! Yes I love Andrea and her blog rosychicc and that love has defintley been trasfered over to the world of Instagram. If you love her blog and photograhpy on there then you're going to adore her cute instagram! Seriously girl, you make everything look so pretty!

amrezy

I stumbled across this account recently after spotting a photo on the search page - it was one of those "based on people you follow" photos. This girl's make-up skills are insane and is one of the instagram accounts I sit and look through going green with envy. Her smokey eyes are flawless.

pinkpixiedoll

Yes, yes it is another blogger! You may recognise Milly from Pearls & Poodles - a fabulously huge beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog which I always find a great read! If you like pretty, pink, girly pictures then Milly is the person to follow! As you can see from above she shares more than just her blog photos - I want that pink bag! If you're a blog lover too and you aren't following Milly then go and do it now - you won't regret!

POTW #26 : BUG Jewellery Make A Wish Bracelet

Jewellery isn't something that I include alot of here on A Yellow Brick Blog but this week I just HAD to have a certain bracelet as my POTW!

This was sent to me last week from the lovely (and extremely talented) Ellie from Bug Jewellery. She had approached me and asked if I would like to pick one of her pieces from her BuggedUp jewellery range - after taking forever to decide I went with this Make A Wish bracelet (which is also available as a necklace)

This super cute wishbone bracelet is handcrafted from 925 solid silver and finished in brushed matt. I love silver jewelry and the quality of this is beautiful, the fact they are all handmade my Ellie is just incredible! 
This is perfect for everyday wear and make such gorgeous presents, I showed this too my Mum and she also fell in love!

There are so many different designs and nothing like you'd get in your usual highstreet store! I'm in love!

Jessie - Solid Silver Make A Wish Bracelet*

Thank you so much Ellie, I have been wearing this constantly, it's soooo pretty! Hit the link above to find out more about Ellie and her amazing designs!

July Favourites

Wow is another month over again already? I can't believe I'm into my 3rd monthly favourites post already since being back in the blogging world!
It is August tomorrow - this is crazy, I know we always say it every year but the years really do fly by as you get older!

Bit of a mix of things this month as always, I can honestly say I have become addicted to a few things over the last 4 weeks.... (no make-up this month though .... I think I am unwell! But don't get me wrong I have still bought loads in July haha)

Now smells is a BIG thing for me. If a product smells good, I'm sold! I'd be waiting for this to come into my local Boots for ages and a couple of weeks ago I spotted it and even thought it is £10.50 (which is quite alot for my current budget) I whacked it in my basket and didn't look back!
 This is the Sugar Crush Body Buttercream from Soap & Glory. I have the scrub at home and have been floating between that and The Breakfast Scrub for a while now but can I just say, the cream, to me, smells SO much better than the scrub! It is really sweet scent with a strong zest of lime but also has a creamy cake mixture type smell to it aswell. Okay that sounds weird but I think it is the Shea & cocoa nut balm and almond oils! I am addicted to this product! Every time I see it in my room I have to have a smell and put it on either my arms or legs! I put this all over my body after my shower every morning and I love it, I cannot wait to get the body wash aswell!

Next up in my new purse. I like to switch up my purse/wallet alot as I get easily bored and this is one I've had my eye on for a while! Ted Baker purses are so gorgeous and the quality of them is amazing. I recently went to Gunwharf Keys in Portsmouth which has a Ted Baker outlet in it and thought I would treat myself. 
They are normally anything between £75 and £85 so this has obviously put me off in the past! But I went in and this was actually the first one I picked up. I loved the colour and as soon as I looked inside and saw the lining was French Bulldogs (my dream dog) I knew it was the one!
 It was £50 but because I'm a very lucky girl (and it was out anniversary) my boyfriend put £20 towards it so I only had to pay £30 for it! I know this is going to last me years and years and there is noway I'm going to get bored of this one anytime soon!

This is a product which was actually recommended to me from a friend (Hey Lottae!)! After alot of 7am and 7:30am starts recently at work (I am NOT a morning person) I have started to develop major bags under my eyes! I've never really had this problem before where they are so visible but this product is actually amazing at keeping them at bay! 
It is the Garnier Skin Naturals Caffeine Eye Roll-on for Anti-bags and anti-dark circles! You can apply this as many times a day as you feel necessary (I normally only use it 2 or 3 times). All you do is apply it to your under eye in light and gentle circular motions! It is a roller ball dispenser so you don't need to worry about how much to use or making a mess! I can say with confidence that this has 100% helped reduce the appearance all the bags under my eyes and always makes me eyes feel more alert and awake ... must be the caffeine!

Another product now which had me sold by its smell! With the weather getting a bit colder now my lips have been getting a bit dry and chapped once again. Normally I am all for Vaseline and I recommend it to anyone who says they have sore lips but I have recently stumbled across my new holy grail. 
I am usually very fussy with lip balms as I never feel like anything works as well as Vaseline for me but I saw the flavour of this lip balm/butter from Nivea recently and was immediately drawn to it. 
This is the Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia. I thought I'd give it a go and thought even if it didn't work as well as Vaseline at least I can enjoy the smell BUT I was pleasantly surprised after using it to find out it works just aswell! I now take this everywhere I go and have it next to my bed at night, definitely something I will be re-purchasing over and over again!

I won't bore you with a huge paragraph about this product as I have done a WHOLE post on it earlier this week! But it has to be in my July favourites as it is truly an amazing product. Check out all my thoughts on it here - Moroccanoil Treatment - My New Best Friend.

Soap & Glory's Scrub Of Your Life is a product that I first used years ago as a teenager. I remember buying it purely for the comment on the front of the bottle which states it can get rid of the horrible red bumps on the backs of your arms. Now, I am a major sufferer of this and I seriously HATE it, like where do they come from? Why do only some people get them? They suck!
I was thinking the other week about the time I had a scrub which really helped with them and after alot of detective work I remembered it was this! A few weeks later and I have to say that once again it has been working a charm and has helped clear the red bumps up alot. Not to mention its lovely packaging and smell - thank you Soap & Glory another great product!

Last but not least is some music that I have been loving this month (and for a while now!).
Ariana Grande is known best for her role in Victorious but since she released her single 'The Way' a few months ago I have been obsessed with her and her voice. ( I play this song - every single day.)
This girl has some SERIOUS talent, I mean Whitney and Mariah level. 
She is incredible, just check out her youtube channel (osnapitzari) and watch a few of her personal videos! My favourite is her doing impressions, her Britney and Judy Garland impressions are so so amazing, this girl can SING! (Oh and I did I mention I swear to god she is Cheryl Cole's mini twin!!!)
Here is her new single "Baby I" - this really reminds me of the sort of RnB I was listening to about 10 years ago or so - I love it! 
Also check out her song with Mika called Popular Song it is so catchy, I love a good pop song!
