I'm sorry that these seem to be the only posts I'm posting right now, but I've been so busy lately! Got a holiday haul video coming up soon though so stay tuned :) </div>

Breakfast was once again berries with some porridge :) I have Quaker Oats original mixed in with cinnamon and almond milk, just to make it a bit more flavourful. I'm really missing red currants though..</div>

Was at work today, so lunch was this wholewheat pasta and chicken salad from Asda. Actually, it was surprisingly nice for a pre-made lunch! Not enough chicken, but there never is in these things. I've been instructed to eat no bread by my trainer so my new favourite cheese and chorizo baguette from my local coffee shop is out of the window!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also had a natural brazil, almond and sultana snack bar.</div>

Dinner was my all time favourite spice packs; the Nandos Lemon and Herb rub! I definitely recommend baking these, do not fry them, the seasoning burns off onto the pan and it ends up tasting really plain. I had it with sweet potato mash and veg. I made a huge portion of veg so I could half it with tomorrow's lunch (which is chicken cous cous and veg!) </div>

Despite the fact I am on a very healthy diet for the next month (as well as Grenade capsules which I'll be reviewing after a few weeks) I need my chocolate fix. To be fair this is a banana pancake made with three quarters of a banana and an egg, so it's pretty healthy, all but the small handful of chocolate chips I added for flavour. We all need our chocolate though! </div>

Hello everyone and welcome to today's What I Ate Wednesday brought to you from that's right folks, bed. Because I'm getting old now and I'm without a doubt in bed before half 8. It's depressing really. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was another day off from work (I always seem to have Wednesdays off!) so food wasn't the most inventive as I'm a tad lazy when it comes to making stuff.</div>

Breakfast today was old faithful, my Fuel your 10K hours fruit and nut granola. I love this stuff so much. I have had a few weeks away from it having different types of granola and mistakenly one week picked up muesli, (bad move) but this is still the best. I had it with some strawberries and blueberries. Man I miss red currants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Um… I missed lunch? Well the photograph anyways.. Sorry! I had chicken tikka subway and an oatmeal raisin cookie after a particularly horrible chest and arms session at the gym. But to make up for the lack of picture, here;</div>

Dinner on the other hand I do have a picture of! Tonight was sweet potato chips (addicted) with cajun pork loin steaks and mixed veg. Oh and some barbecue sauce, can't forget that. This was very yummy. Don't have pork enough if I'm honest!</div>

Pudding was a glass of SunnyD (because yes I'm 20, but I will ALWAYS love it) and a weird yoghurt I bought in Tesco yesterday along with a little Jennifer Lawrence haul (American Hustle and both Hunger Games). It was a cadburys cherry cola fizz yoghurt.. had little cherry fizzy balls and cola cubes with some chocolate. So weird but pretty good!</div>

Today's post is about a lovely little independent seller I've recently found on Etsy.com. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Etsy, so many unique and original sellers, so many different things to buy… which for someone with an online shopping problem, isn't always a good thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, Etsy has those sellers where you think; 'ummm WTF is that?' but there are times when you come across a truly great seller. My Clockwork Castle is one of them. A couple weeks back she was advertising about a lucky dip of two items for only £5 from her clearance section. I obviously took advantage of this and snapped up the last lucky dip!</div>

Here's what I got! I bought it on the Sunday and received it by the Wednesday, so pretty fast shipping for only £1.50. I am pretty pleased that what I got is a little set, just makes it even more worth the money. I'm currently wearing the necklace now, and have been for most of the week, it's an amazing quality too, none of this marking your neck from cheap chains stuff, which I've had a problem with before from certain Etsy sellers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all, I am extremely happy with my purchase, who knew you could get your new favourite piece of jewellery for a fiver? She also has other amazing pieces, I've got my eye on the steampunk key necklace. Check out her pages here:</div>

I have an obsession with lip colouring at the moment, so this one was a definite yes for me! It's so cute as well, I love the vintage country vibe of it. I got the apple 'pie' flavour and it's a perfect shade for my lips. Just dark enough to show but light enough to not make my face look as pale as some reds can. It's pretty long lasting too!</div>

This was the actual part of the 'Good Enough to Eat' box that you could in fact eat! The spoilers showed a vanilla and coconut flavour, but most people were receiving fiery Worcestershire sauce flavour, so I'm not going to complain. These were my snack last week whilst watching Dexter (no spoilers, I'm only on season 3!) and were pretty yummy! At 39 calories a bag, you can't go wrong either.</div>

Another foodie type product we received was the Yes to cucumber soothing facial towelletes. We received the travel sized pack, which is ten wipes. They're pretty nice, quite wet, which I find a good thing. Sometimes I get wipes that are so dry, they don't work at all! They get make up off quite well too, and they're great for sensitive skin.</div>

Ahhhhh!!!! More body lotion!! I'm sick of it. If you like body lotion, this Laura Mercier bottle would be a great gift, it smelled lovely and had a real creamy texture that makes your skin very soft. I didn't use it more than the once, and ended up giving it to my nan at the weekend, along with the rest of my body lotion hoard I do not use.</div>

We got to choose this product! There was a choice of four, and I do wish I'd gone for the green, but this ones pretty nice for a metallic nude colour. My only problem was that mine wasn't done up tight enough and had leaked all down the bottle when I opened it, but still. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got another pencil eyeliner, which I probably won't use all too often as pencil liners tend to make me feel like I've gotten stuff in my eyes, plus they don't last long for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, I'm pleased with the box, except for the leaky varnish and the body lotion. Other people got stuff like shampoo, so I'd have preferred that, but hey ho, what you gonna do. I'll stick with Birchbox for now, but only if I stop getting body lotions!! </div>

Ahh breakfast, my favourite meal of the day! Today I had my usual cinnamon porridge with a dollop of nutella, just as an experiment, couldn't really taste it but to be honest if I could I probably would have just wanted to take a spoon to the tub and eat the whole lot. I am in love. I had less fruit and more nuts in it today, so it actually does look like breakfast! </div>

I seem to be eating in bowls today.. It was my day off today, so I spent up til about 2pm doing uni work before I realised it was past lunch time! This was actually supposed to be my lunch for work yesterday, but it wouldn't fit in my bag with my gym stuff so I left it in the fridge and couldn't be bothered to make anything else today. Was just a simple chicken salad with vinaigrette and parmesan.</div>

um yeah.. so this isn't the only chocolate I had today, I've had a pretty student-ish day today, just picking at things whilst studying and even I'd photographed every bit of easter egg I'd had today there'd be way too many. This is an almond ripple and a vanilla crisp cup from mine and my mums chocolates from my nan :)</div>

Pudding, which I am actually currently eating, was a banana and a maple and pecan plait with a glass of apple juice. I love pecans at the moment, but they're so expensive to buy on their own so I take them in whatever I can get. Plus, who doesn't love a pastry now and then?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So Summer is not far away, especially with this predicted heatwave we're supposed to get. Many of you, like me will be lucky enough to be jetting off for a week or two and obviously you're going to need those all important bikinis. And even if you're not going on holiday this year, we all like a bit of back garden sunbathing don't we?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been scouring the internet for bikinis and swimwear to buy, and there are so many nice ones! Here are a few of my favourites.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't usually shop at Forever 21, mainly because I just don't have one anywhere near me, which is a shame. Triangle shaped bikinis are my favourite and these two are pretty cheap! This second one also comes in about 8 different colours, so if you're shopping on a budget, this could be the one for you.</div>

Now, I am primarily a bikini girl. I don't know why, I just don't really like swimsuits, bit like I hate bodysuits I guess. But there's something about this one! I'm definitely adding it to my holiday wish list. </div>

I always love a bit of Missguided. If you're a bit conscious of your sides, this first one is a bit of a longline bikini and would make you feel a bit more comfy! I also love the colour of this second one, it's just so bright and out there, definitely one to get you noticed on the beach.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This first one is actually NewLook at Asos and is by my favourite New Look designer - Miss Kelly Brook. It just looks so fitted and comfy and supportive, which is unusual for quite a lot of bikinis nowadays. There's always that fear of falling out! The second bikini also looks quite supportive, although £60 is a bit steep for me.</div>

Triangl is so hot right now. I've seen so many bloggers featuring them! They look so so nice, plus it's in mint green, which is my go to shade at the moment. I'd love to get one, I just don't think I can justify spending that much on a bikini! Maybe one day.. </div>

Ahh another Wednesday, another food blog! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must say, although I love fashion and beauty to the ends of the earth, I do love writing these food blogs! I spend so long perusing the internet for recipes and pictures of food on Pinterest.. I think I may have a problem. Now before you think I was on a huge fruit craze today, I ate nothing but sweets and burgers and chips yesterday so I kinda had to be good! Anyways here's my food for today :)</div>

Breakfast was, despite the misleading photograph, porridge! I have the original quaker oats wholegrain porridge which I add cinnamon too. I then had a few handfuls of berries, some nuts and a pinch from my seed mix. It's so so yummy! I actually weirdly now look most forward to breakfast, which come 2 years ago I never even used to eat, let alone class it as my favourite meal of the day!</div>

Lunch was a tuna salad wrap, I did mix this with a tiny bit of mayo, but I've come to the conclusion I'm just really not a fan of it anymore! I also had a bowl of fruit as you can see. I have a very very weird obsession with bananas. I like crave them constantly, and I have no idea why! (Before any of my friends suggest, no I'm definitely not pregnant again! I used to crave things I hated while I was pregnant with Tayla, like pickle sandwiches.) Either way, I suppose it's better than me craving so much chocolate. Damn my sweet tooth.</div>

For a little pre-gym snack I had some earl grey tea (of course) and a tiny bit of my chocolate heart I got for Mother's day. I've recently decided I need to get back into reading more often, I'm a huge geek so I read quite a lot but I tend to leave big breaks in between reading books so I've started this new series! Which I aim to finish before I go on holiday in June. It's only 3 (biggish) books, I can do it :).</div>

Dessert today was supposed to be a crumble.. I layered some peach slices at the bottom of the ramekin and then added some raspberries and strawberries then a bit of granola mixed with golden syrup. It um, yeah wasn't cooked completely when I took it out of the oven after 7 minutes.. in my defence, my oven usually cooks things at warp speed. Even though it was just warmed through, was pretty tasty for a failed dessert! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm also probably going to have one of those Ritz chocolate's when I go upstairs, they were on offer in Tesco so it would have been rude not to!</div>

I have mentioned before, my skin has issues. It's always dry then it's fine, then it gets spotty and it's literally unhappy three weeks out of four. I'm always trying new face masks, I don't know if they actually work, but I always feel better after a long soak in the bath with a face mask on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I've tried the Anatomicals range.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My face has been pretty oily lately, which is weird for me, as it's not usually the oiliest. But I thought that this 'Grease isn't the word' mattifying face mask would be good! It smells pretty good, and you get a lot in the packet, and considering they were about £1 from Asda, that's more than worth it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only problem is, this;</div>

You end up looking like you've just tried your hand at being Shrek. It does come off pretty easily, just need a bit of a scrub. It does make your face quite soft and it did stop it from feeling greasy, so if greasy skin is what you suffer with, then I'd recommend this!</div>

I can't resist a bit of chocolate. Whether it's to eat, in a face mask or whatever. I just love chocolate. This is supposed to be an anti-stress mask, and to be honest, if sitting there inhaling chocolate doesn't de-stress you, I don't know what will! Although.. you may end up feeling pretty hungry.</div>

Once again, there's loads in the packet so you end up covered in the stuff. And it did kind of make my bath water a murky brown sort of colour, but it doesn't stain, so don't worry. It does actually look like you've smeared chocolate mousse on your face, but I'm guessing it unfortunately doesn't taste like it.. It's a bit like the chocolate face mask from Lush if I'm honest, but for like 5 times less the price. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, my face did feel soft, but I don't know whether it's because I'm having a bit of a spotty week, but it did feel a bit stingy when I first put it on.. It was fine after that though, probably just my skin being weird!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you're one of those people who don't really like reading about fitness and such and prefer my fashion posts, that's cool, you don't have to read, but for those of you who don't mind, read ahead! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since January I've been going to the gym, trying to eat healthy and generally been trying to have an all around better lifestyle. I did actually start this healthy kick in order to slim down and tone up for my holiday in June, but I actually love exercising! I never ever thought I'd say that. I mean, I'm a girl who loves to sit on her ass munching an entire pick and mix and binge watching a TV series. But I do love exercise!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/33365-Dear-Fat-Prepare-To-Die.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/33365-Dear-Fat-Prepare-To-Die.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, when I say I love exercise, I mean I love the gym. I know you get those people who are literally addicted to going and go everyday and then you get those people, guys mostly who like only train their arms and end up looking like lightbulbs, but there are those normal people who just go in, do their workout and go home and enjoy an everyday life! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've not actually lost any weight as such since January, but I actually got banned from weighing myself by my trainer and I ended up not caring anymore. I haven't actually measured myself in a few weeks, but last time I did I'd lost at least half an inch from everywhere and lost an inch around my bum! So trust me when I say; The scales do not matter!! You could be heavier than when you started working out and actually look and feel healthier and thinner (if that's what you're going for), it's muscle weight girls!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I know a lot and I mean a LOT of women seem to think if they go to the gym and start lifting weights they'll end up looking like a bodybuilder, but that's so wrong! You just tone up, I mean nobody really wants bingo wings now do they? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I started I've actually gotten a hell of a lot stronger and I didn't even realise. I, as I've mentioned do have a personal trainer who I see once a week, and he's helped me so much and I don't think I'd feel as good without him, but if you can't afford one, that's fine. You just have to be motivated. If you're motivated you can do anything you set your mind to! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In January, 10kg squats were killing me and I'm now up to 30kg easily, which, I might add doesn't sound like much, but it's half my body weight which impresses me quite a bit! Squats are my favourite exercise mine you. Also, when I started the gym I was used to only my baby (and I mean baby, Tayla often tries to run off with them) 1kg hand weights that really don't do anything. I'm now up to about 15-25kg with my upper body, depending on the exercise, but I have quite weak arms to be honest so that doesn't bother me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, you can't just exercise alone and expect to see a difference you do unfortunately have to eat healthily. That doesn't mean that you have to wake up and eat a lettuce leaf, or live solely on vegetables. There are plenty of amazing recipes that are so healthy and taste so so good! Plus, we all deserve a cheat day, I'm sat writing this after a chippy and some chocolate. See? It's fine to eat what you want every now and then! </div>

If you've always wanted to start the gym, and have been intimidated, or have no idea what to do, just try it. Trust me, I was petrified, I was googling all around to try and find out Gym Etiquette and what exercises to do. And to be honest, I would recommend a personal trainer, even just for your first session, although most gyms offer an induction service where you can get a personal one on one session with an instructor and they'll write up a personal plan for you. I know it looks daunting, but it's not as scary as you think, just give it a go, you might love it! </div>

Bit of a late in the day post, written to you about bright colours whilst I watch the darkness that is Game of Thrones! Stupid Joffrey is annoying me again.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, finally, Spring is upon us, and that means the shops are filled with pretty pastels and florals (my next post) and I must say, I'm enjoying all of the brightness on the shelves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, funds are so tight because of holiday saving I can't buy anything to show you, but of course I've been window shopping (well, can you call it window shopping if it's online? Browsing just doesn't sound as good…) and thought I'd show you all some of my top picks online for the pastel craze. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite of the three has to be the skirt, only £10 from Boohoo.com, they've done it again with their affordable on trend fashion! I'm not usually a fan of scuba skirts, I don't know why but this one is pretty lovely. It also comes in blue, blush and lilac, but I have a certain thing for mint coloured clothing at the moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shorts are so simple and yet, so pretty! As usual, Forever 21 gives us inexpensive items but at great quality, I mean a pair of shorts like this at somewhere like Dorothy Perkins and they'd cost you almost double! They look so light as well, definitely one to be adding to the holiday wish list!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know what it is about these shoes (from NewLook @ASOS) but I just love them. I'm not usually a heel type of girl, to be perfectly honest, they hurt my feet and I'm much more comfort orientated with my shoes. But they are a mid-heel and they are pretty! I might just have to go and try them on if I see them in-store, girl's gotta have new shoes! </div>

I love a good cami. It'll go with anything, they're light and ahh look it's mint! They do sell this swing style cami top in Boohoo for only £6, but the red one I bought sort of stretched after washing so it's gotten quite baggy, either that or I've lost weight (woo!). This one also comes in peach, which is another of my favourite spring colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This lace camisole dress is so gorgeous! It was £32 and is now reduced to £12, also comes in peach, but I just preferred the grey. Now I know what you're thinking, grey isn't really a pastel colour, but this is sort of a dusky looking grey so it sort of fits in. I'm currently torn between this and another dress that I want for my holiday.. I may just have to get both I think.. It's Greece, I'll need dresses!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This jumper is one for those early Spring days when it's not that cold to wear a jacket, but you still need a little something to cover your arms. Plus, it's fluffy, so come on, you know it's gonna be pretty darn cosy. It also comes in mint (of course it does), pink and lemon. </div>

Now, I don't have my ears pierced, which pains me, silly allergies, but I love looking at earrings. These little heart studs are so dainty and cute and at only £2 are a right steal! God, there's so much pastel green about, I love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blazer, is a little pricey for my usual picks, I'll admit. But there's something about it that just makes me want to wear it everywhere. I love this blush sort of pink, it makes you look quite tanned and for a girl afraid of fake tan who has pale skin, that's a really good thing! Blazers are also a great staple item for your wardrobe and can be both dressed up and down, so are good for those chillier of Spring days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love crochet! I wish I could crotchet myself, but I just don't have the patience to learn something like that. At only £8, it's a bargain and would add something extra to any outfit. Sort of looks a little vintage as well, which is always a good thing.</div>

Last but not least, you may recognise this bag. It may have been featured on my blog before.. you got it? That's right it's my very own beloved winged satchel bag from New Look! I adore this bag, it's so stylish and goes with absolutely everything and is my everyday go to bag, the only problem is it's a tad awkward to get in and out of because of the clasps. Now of course I don't have this exact bag, I have the grey and black version, which don't get me wrong I love, but I kind of want this one now.. There are no rules about having the same bag twice right? </div>

This month's box was the LuLu Guinness collaborated box. Although this was a bit of a disappointment considering this was pretty much it for the LuLu-ness of the box besides a black and white striped stick of rock for the 'lifestyle extra' which was actually quite nice! I love black and white as much as the next former goth sort of teenager, but I was expecting a little bit more. </div>

First item is the Dr. Brandt 'Pores no more' pore refiner. Pretty similar to that of the Benefit POREfessional that I received in my first ever Birchbox. I got a pretty respectable 7.5ml size and I must say I love it! In my opinion, I actually prefer this one to the Benefit alternative I was raving about. It smooths your skin a lot more and gives more of a flawless look. The full sized bottle is £39 for 30ml, which is pretty darn pricey, but I'd definitely say it was worth it.</div>

Next up is the Korres Citrus Little Body Milk. I've not really used this product much, so I can't really say a great deal about it, but it does seem to make your skin a little softer and the smell is pretty good! Not something I'd necessarily buy, but I'm more of a facial skincare kind of girl, not the biggest body milk/butter fans. The full sized bottle is £9.50.</div>

The English Laundry no.7 for her perfume was a pleasant surprise. After the amazingness of the Elizabeth Arden sample I received in one of my first ever beauty boxes, everything I get is compared to it. This perfume, although lovely, still doesn't come too close. It has a bright and fruity scent and is one I'd say I like, but it's a bit pricey at £47 for the 50ml bottle. </div>

This is the Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose Replenishing hand cream. Right now, I love beauty boxes. I love getting skin care samples. But I literally have hand cream samples coming out of my ears now! I do not use them! I always get disappointed in body lotions and hand creams, no matter how nice the scent is. This one again, does smell lovely but it's just not something I'd use so I feel like it's a bit of a waste. I'd like to see more make up products from these boxes!</div>

The star product and LuLu's pick this month was another Benefit product! I'm not going to complain, I love Benefit just find it so expensive. This is the Stay Don't Stray in light/medium. I'm glad that Birchbox paid attention to my skin colour and sent me the lighter version, there's nothing worse than a sample that's too dark for you. You place three dots under and on top of your eyes and then blend it in and it's supposed to keep your make up from 'straying' all day. I've used this a few times, and considering I don't use concealer, it's worked amazingly. I put it on in the morning and my make up is still there come dinner time! It's definitely something I'd recommend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's £20.50 for the full sized bottle and definitely worth the splurge. </div>

Last week's breakfast was pancakes with greek yoghurt, red currants, blueberries and strawberries with some syrup. I adore these banana pancakes, and literally could eat them everyday, but you apparently shouldn't have too many eggs in a week and considering these are two eggs per recipe, probably best to leave it at just a few times a week. Either way it was lovely!<br />

This morning I actually had something completely different! I'm not usually a fan of porridge to be honest, but I added some cinnamon, a handful of mixed unsalted nuts and raisins and some red currants and blueberries and it was pretty great! So filling as well. </div>

Last week's lunch was homemade leek and potato soup with sweet chilli crackers a handful of grapes and an apple. I literally am addicted to making my own soups. Yesterday's soup was swede carrot and leek with thyme and coriander. They're so filling and so healthy! Makes me feel less guilty if I skip out on my run on a Wednesday.</div>

One of my favourite meals lately is Nandos rubbed chicken with cous cous and salad. This is the lemon and herb Nandos spice packet with Aromatic Thai style cous cous. It's so filling and oh so healthy too! I realise it must look like I eat healthy like literally all the time, but trust me I don't, I tend to eat healthy meals and then snack.. everyone deserves a little binge day once in a while! </div>

As if to prove my theory above right, I had chicken and bacon pasta with garlic bread for dinner. Yeah it was like way over however many calories I usually have for dinner, but I'm 20, can't deny myself a nice carby dinner once in a while! Actually this was the first time in about 3 or 4 weeks I've not had pasta so it was deserving, especially after going up another 10kg on my squats and going up to a 105kg on the leg press! I always make my own creamy sauces, this one was done with light philidelphia, a little milk some garlic and chives and parsley added in.</div>

I've been away for a while, so I thought I'd give you a little life update. Would have been posting more often but I've been so busy with interning and also my computer decided that it would have a bit of a wobbly moment which resulted in having to get an entire new trackpad meaning I was a week without my Mac! Almost killed me I'll tell you!</div>

Tayla's getting to be a right little madam! Only three years old and going about 15! I don't know how you women out there have two of them, I take my hat off to you. Well, I would if I had a hat on.. thank god it's nearly summer. I can't wait for the long summer days where I can finally crack out the shorts again, although I have the palest legs every and fake tan looks awful on me so it's not the most amazing of sights..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily, the weather has been picking up lately so we've been able to go outside! My brother's currently landscaping the garden so we don't have much grass and room to play but the playhouse is finally in! Got to love the afternoons of playing big bad wolf and blowing bubbles :). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't really been buying much in the way of fashion/beauty products lately, I just don't have the money! I tell you, trying to save up over £400 before June is not an easy task. I've been frantically looking for a job to earn some extra cash, but that along with the HypeBadger site, Tayla and uni work I haven't had time for much in the way of free time. I did however get to go to the beautiful Alexandra Palace (or 'Ally Pally' as it's called!) at the beginning of March to see Bastille! That is Dan there in the bottom middle picture, as blurry as he is. I love love love Bastille and was so glad I got to see them again, despite the fact I could barely see and we had to queue outside for over 5 hours in the freezing cold. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another thing I've been really into lately is baking. I've always loved cooking and considering how hard it is to eat healthily when you have a gigantic sweet tooth, I've been trying to find some good recipes for a few healthy snacks and cakes. I am absolutely addicted to these cookies (above) the chocolate ones taste just like a brownie and are pretty much just oats and cocoa powder! I've been thinking about posting a few recipes and such on here considering I can't really afford much in the way of new products to show you all. What do you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ah stupid dry skin and dry hair.. I know I've been banging on about this a lot lately, but I've been trying new products and needed to share them with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was wondering around Boots a couple of weeks ago in search of some repairing and refreshing hair and face products to help combat my dry skin and hair lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't have much to spend, due to the fact I have so much to save for for my holiday in June (that I may have only saved £63 for..) so this is great for those on a budget too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Pkxm-_n70bqru3KbZ0cZzohEbSUiBhyphenhyphenUqLaNvyEq09371ls_HgQeF6x4N9kWZYu45JzRoGDU-MA5TtjtCzh5KB6aGuX4cDVrmIbaUDLef9zNYG67IHnLPLAELbzrhmZcxMHTxpWdwpQ/s1600/1939849_10203136721675835_342962213_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Pkxm-_n70bqru3KbZ0cZzohEbSUiBhyphenhyphenUqLaNvyEq09371ls_HgQeF6x4N9kWZYu45JzRoGDU-MA5TtjtCzh5KB6aGuX4cDVrmIbaUDLef9zNYG67IHnLPLAELbzrhmZcxMHTxpWdwpQ/s1600/1939849_10203136721675835_342962213_n.jpg" height="640" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up hair - I bought the<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Umberto-Giannini-Beauty-Secrets-Moisture-Mask-200ml_1261686/"> Umberto Gianni Indulgent beauty moisture mask</a>. It's only £5.61 for a pretty big tub and it's lasted ages, I'm still under of a quarter of the way through it! It's a typical once-a-week hair mask as we wouldn't want to over condition our hair. It's a very thick formula which I wasn't expecting as I'm used to the Herbal Essences hair masks which are a tad runny, but this wasn't a problem and I actually found it went further. Oh and the smell is amazing! Smells just like you've had your hair done in a professional salon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Result: Well if you haven't washed your hair in a few days and you leave it on for a while (I've been putting it on in the bath then sitting there for half an hour before rinsing it off) it will do wonders for you! The tub says the longer you leave it on the better, and I completely agree. It makes your hair soft and bouncy and feels so fresh. Go buy a face mask (or make your own honey and lemon one <a href="http://imperfectbeauty425.blogspot.com/2014/02/homemade-face-mask.html">here</a>) light some candles and feel pampered for a an hour or two and come out with amazing hair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for the skin care - This is the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Peaches-and-Clean%C2%99-3-in-1-Wash-off-Deep-Purifying-Cleanser-200ml_1364166/">Soap and Glory Peaches and clean 3-in-1 deep purifying wash off cleanser.</a> It's the first Soap and Glory product I've used and I can tell I'll be buying more from them. It's only £8 for a 200ml bottle and it's got a push pump top! I find it so much easier to use products with a push pump, you just get the desired amount far more than a squeezy bottle. Although I do sometimes mistake my soap dispenser for my toothpaste as they're both push pumps.. which as you can guess doesn't end well even if the soap does smell of cola bottles! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I use about 3 pumps of the stuff, and as with all cleansers, just rub it all over your face and leave it a few minutes then rinse off. It smells amazing, I'm just in love with all things fruit-smelling lately, it's making me think of summer! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Result: I've been using it a few times a week (you can use it everyday, I just forget) and my cheeks have been a lot smoother. I think if you used it everyday for a fortnight you would definitely see a difference in your skin, it'll look healthy and feel great so I definitely recommend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What new products have you found to try and combat the winter weather?</div>

As a beauty fanatic I'm always trying new things, I get pulled in by the gimics and all the 'shinier, healthier hair' stuff. But at times there are always those few products that you know you'll stick with forever. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My old faithful is the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately my hair has been very dry, I think it was due to the loreal repair shampoo, it seemed to be drying it out.. That added to the fact I dye my hair quite a bit, it was feeling pretty straw like and was in desperate need of some TLC.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I swear this stuff is magic! I've been buying it at least 3 years now once every two months or so. A week of using just this every other day (I can't wash my hair everyday anymore, feels horrible) and the results are incredible. It's like I've just gotten a whole new head of hair! It's soft, silky, feels refreshed and of course it's coconut which is one of my favourite scents so it smells amazing too. If there's ever a time when you feel like your hair is in dire need of repairing, but you don't have the time to bother with hair masks, this is the stuff for you. </div>

Instead of the old WIAW where I eat pretty much the same thing I did last week, I thought I'd show you all a recipe for what I'm having for lunch; Corn Chowder soup!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the recipe somewhere online, but changed it quite a bit so I suppose it's pretty much my own now. I'm always annoyed that recipes are for loads of people, so I've tailored this recipe to one serving to make it easier, although obviously you can just double it up for 2 people.</div>

<h4>
Ingredients</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Anchor light spreadable 7g</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Red pepper - 30g diced</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- White onion - 10g diced</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Turkey bacon (or pancetta whichever you fancy) - 2 rashers cut into strips</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- OXO chicken stock cube made up to about 250ml</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Sweetcorn - 75g</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Potato - 70g cut into cubes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Onken Fat free natural yoghurt - 30g</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Parsley</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Cumin</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<ol>
<li>Melt the butter off in a saucepan and then add the onion, pepper and turkey bacon. Fry off gently until softened.</li>
<li>Add the stock and bring to the boil, this is where I added a dash of cumin as I wanted my soup to have a bit of spice to it, this is completely optional. </li>
<li>Leave to simmer for a few minutes and then taste to see if any salt or pepper is needed. Then add the potato and bring back to the boil.</li>
<li>Add the sweetcorn and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the potato is cooked.</li>
<li>After the potato is cooked, transfer to a blender and blend until pretty much smooth. It will still be a tad thick and a tiny bit lumpy, but that's normal and I mean come on, nobody like a watery soup.</li>
<li>Put back into the pan and add the yoghurt, cooking gently on a low heat. Then add the parsley and a few cubes of crispy pancetta on top if you want and you're done! </li>
</ol>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want to made this soup a few days ahead, just make up to stage 5 and put in a sealed container in the fridge. Just heat back up then add the yoghurt and simmer for a few minutes on the day you want to eat it! I had mine with a few crackers but you can serve it with bread or anything you like really. It's a really filling lunch and only 259 calories with only 7 calories from fat. Perfect for these chilly winter days.</div>

Hope you have a great Wednesday and as always, feel free to post your WIAW's and comments below!</div>

So I've been a bit M.I.A lately I actually did take all the photos for a WIAW last week and then ended up too busy to actually write/post it so I thought I'd give you guys a bit of a double whammy tonight!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason I've been so busy is because I've recently started working for a wonderful Startup company called <a href="http://www.hypebadger.com/">HypeBadger</a> (click the link and sign up, like their Facebook and follow on Twitter, pretty please!) as a social media and content production intern. The site tracks all of your favourite shows, movies, games, books and more as well as notifying you of new upcoming projects and then notifies you of any news on release dates etc. It's a great site and I'm really enjoying working for them, it's just a tad time consuming when you have a 3 year old, gym to go to and uni as well so my blog seems to have taken a back seat lately, I've not forgotten about you I promise!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways there's my little life update, still on the hunt for a paid position somewhere just nowhere seems to think I'm suitable, tis a pain! But now on with the food!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This is last week's breakfast, yes it's my usual fruit granola with added fruit. They didn't have my red currants in Asda last week so I had to settle for raspberries which aren't my favourites but ah well. I also had my drinking yoghurt and tea of course.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay so I've been told that if I want to have pasta to have it at lunch time (I don't remember if I've mentioned that..memory like a sieve) so I decided to have my spaghetti bolognese for lunch. Actually thinking about it, this first day is actually a What I ate Thursday, hence the pasta. I always tend to have something a bit more carby on a Tuesday or Thursday so that it doesn't matter as much as I work it off at the gym an hour or so later. </div>

After the carb fuelled lunch, I had a pretty healthy stir fry (I can't help it, I'm addicted) which does actually have a tonne of veg in, the noodles just always end up on top. Also had a few prawn crackers as I'm one of those weird people who needs something salty and crunchy with a meal.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I do eat other things for breakfast! I decided that I fancied something a bit different and I remember my Aunt had posted a recipe on Facebook for her super healthy pancakes. These are made with 2 eggs and a mashed banana. Yep, that's all folks! I didn't believe it would work either but they were bloomin' lovely as she'd say! I also topped it with a handful of strawberries, blueberries and red currants as well as a little lemon juice and touch of syrup.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've really got to try to stop buying subways for lunch on a Wednesday just because it's easier, so today I put a jacket potato in the oven for when I got back from taking Tayla to nursery. I'm not always a fan of jackets because sometimes the potatoes aren't the best, but this one was perfect! All crispy and fluffy. I topped it with some tuna mayo and served with a salad, apple and pear green tea and a yummy clementine</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Umm.. I got hungry after picking Tayla up. Usually I can wait until dinner for food, but she was having one and it looked delicious so I had to have one too! I have my scones plain because that's just how I prefer them. I do like them warmed up, but my microwave's broke at the moment, so cold had to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I try and drink more water, but milk and fruit juice always seem so much more appetising.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking back, my lunch should have been my dinner.. In my defence, I didn't know I was having this until about 6pm as I didn't have anything else to eat. It's chicken, mozzarella and smoked pancetta filled pasta with chicken. I know it looks really fattening and yes I am healthy 90% of the time but tis hard to have veg and that when my mum's bought this! I probably shouldn't have had it due to my cold giving me another stupid cold sore and you're not supposed to eat pasta when you have them but hey. I made my own sauce with WeightWatchers garlic onion and chive cream cheese and some milk, was lovely! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also had a glass of apple juice and a chocolate mousse, but didn't think to photograph them. </div>

So considering I'm currently unattached (boohoo and all that) I spent my Valentines night in with the family. But to be fair a Chinese takeaway and then watching the Notebook with your girl friend (across the internet, weirdly enough) is just as good for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Due to the darn weather, my skins not been doing so well of late, so I was in dire need of some TLC and thought I'd try my hand at a homemade face mask. We can all get stressed sometimes and there's nothing I like more than having a nice long bath with some candles and a face mask. I've never made anything like this before so I was a bit skeptical. I researched quite a lot and came across the Lemon and honey sugar scrub. I've been ill quite a lot lately so I had an abundance of lemon and honey in the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2accn3zXZTQB7IyiJG0tgUCWGuiNm-oNFpEyXI8wXHlmTBMI_f275UpXqpfwoWrWitA2EXABqLRtwZaAIhaLw9UsILv7B-WL8rcPkaZ2uGnQ2sq0fc6cxfBBd-FBB25O1F9EckZA8kI/s1600/honey_lemon_DIY_face_mask-720x720.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2accn3zXZTQB7IyiJG0tgUCWGuiNm-oNFpEyXI8wXHlmTBMI_f275UpXqpfwoWrWitA2EXABqLRtwZaAIhaLw9UsILv7B-WL8rcPkaZ2uGnQ2sq0fc6cxfBBd-FBB25O1F9EckZA8kI/s1600/honey_lemon_DIY_face_mask-720x720.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ingredients - 1 and a half tbsp honey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 and a half tbsp sugar (granulated)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tbsp lemon juice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You pretty much just mix it all together until it thickens slightly. I actually made mine a tad too runny and it ended up slipping off my face so I'd say you want as little lemon juice as possible, just add it bit by bit. Apply a small amount to your face and neck, leave it for 5 minutes and then rinse off with a warm flannel. It left my skin feeling quite tingly and very soft, so I recommend it highly! And it's so easy to do as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever tried to make your own face masks?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've had a great weekend!</div>

First up is the Gilchrist and Soames shower gel. It's a pretty good size for a sample bottle would probably last me about 3 showers. I've used it the once and I'm not the bigger fan of the fragrance, I love my fruity fragrances for shower gel but this was a nice sample :)</div>

I was actually saying to myself I really need some more exfoliator as my skin's been really dry lately and hey presto, Birchbox to the rescue! It uses all natural ingredients so it's perfect for my sensitive skin. I've been using a garnier one lately but it's been weirdly aggravating my skin so I had to stop, which is a shame as it smells amazing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This exfoliator is to be used up to twice a week, for fresh soft skin. Plus a little goes a long way so I think this sample could definitely last a few weeks.</div>

Apologies for the poor picture, always difficult to photograph see through bottles! This is the Beauty Protector protect & oil. It's been a bit of a blogger fave according to their site and it smells of coconuts. I adore coconut scented things so this is great for me! I've used it the once in damp hair as suggested and I was pleasantly surprised, whether it protected my hair I'm not sure, it made it smell great and didn't make it greasy like most oils can. </div>

This is the Leighton Denny Message in a Bottle nail polish. It retails at £11 and this sample is actually the full sized bottle! I love getting nail polish, especially when it's free, well sort of free considering it's nearly the price of the full box. There were a number of different colours you could get and to be hones this wouldn't have been one that I picked up in store, but I do like it! I painted my nails on Friday without a base or top coat (as I'm out, mine went a tad gloopy) and it's not chipped yet. My initial thought when I was painting my nails strangely was that it reminded me of a mermaid.. which is apt considering the name of the colour.</div>

The star product of the box was the Eyeko skinny liquid liner. I've never been a fan of liquid liner, but this is sort of more a liquid liner pen and it's pretty great. It's £12 for the full size, I think I got the half size which is still good. I've used it a few times since receiving it and I'm definitely a fan, it's very long lasting and very easy to apply. </div>

The lifestyle extra this month was this dainty little bar of Green & Black's 70% cocoa solids dark chocolate. Which was eaten up literally 30 seconds after this picture was taken.</div>

So in conclusion my second Birchbox was even more of a hit than my first! I'm definitely excited to see what's in next months box, and seeing the star product, as they've partnered up with Lulu Guiness. </div>

As I've been on a bit of a 'all about me' kick at the moment, I thought I'd give you a little insight into the things I'm completely obsessed with at the moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Spotify</div>

Music is a big part of my life. I'm forever trying to find new artists and new songs to fall in love with. Spotify came out a while back but had a very limited use unless you actually paid for the £9.99 monthly subscription. Now they've introduced a free version where you get pretty much all of the use of Spotify for free, the only disadvantages are that you have to listen to adverts every couple of songs and can't listen offline. This being said, the free version is still pretty good and definitely a new obsession of mine. I haven't listened to my iPod or iTunes in weeks!</div>

Pinterest is a great way to find inspiration, new things and interact with people who love the same things as you! I actually do use Pinterest a lot. Mainly for when I'm bored, or hungry as I find loads of recipes on there. As the picture says; it's a place to waste a lot of time. But if you don't mind spending hours looking at pictures of everything and anything that interests you, this should be one of your bookmarked sites. You can check out my Pinterest and all my boards <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/natashajade425/">here</a>.</div>

Ahh this is almost as big an obsession as my eyeshadow collection (which I have managed to quieten down, haven't bought anything new in ages!). I have well over 20 different pendant necklaces. They just go with anything and everything and add that little extra something to your outfits. I seem to have a big thing with animal pendants at the moment, my owl, eagle and elephant necklaces are among my most worn. I just can't help it, when I see a cute little pendant necklace I have to get it!</div>

Yes I am a bit of a girly girl, I do love a bit of pink and I do love my fashion (hence the blog!) but I have a huge tattoo obsession. Well, I'd call it more of an addiction than an obsession. I have 8 and have many more planned, but as the picture says; who cares? It's my body. I don't understand the huge prejudice against people with tattoos. Nobody cares about people displaying art around their homes, I just display mine on my body :). Unless they're offensive, they shouldn't bother people! Well that's my opinion anyways!</div>

I love to read! I don't read as often as I want to, but that's just because I can't find the time.. or I get too distracted via searching on websites for random crap. I'll read anything from crime novels to 50 Shades of Grey (it's like marmite that book, I had to give it a go). Considering I'm a literature student, I suppose the love of reading is pretty good. I'm currently reading a book called Knockemstiff (as mentioned in my TMI tag) although my favourite books are the Fever series by Karen Moning. </div>

Photography is one of my great loves also. I did a photography course in college, but had to leave due to having Tayla. I absolutely love taking photographs of things, and I really need to get back into it. I think the obsession with photography coincides with my obsession to travel. I'd love to travel the world one day and just photograph what I see. I love how you can convey so much emotion in one tiny picture. </div>

So this is my first Birchbox, I realise that the majority of you beauty box subscribers have already gotten yours and have read loads of review on it, but ah well, here's mine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First impressions on the box is it's considerably smaller than that of Glossybox, although this definitely didn't mean less in quantity! I received 6 items as opposed to the usual 4 maybe 5 items I'm used to. Also the Birchbox leaflet tells you all about the products and how to use them.</div>

First up is the Lavera hand cream. It contains organic shea butter and almond oil to protect and nourish winter hands. I don't personally use hand creams, I just have no need but it smells quite nice and did make my hands quite soft. This is probably a product I'll pass on to my mother and her ginormous collection of hand creams.</div>

Second is the Itsu Miso Soup. I must say this one was a surprise to get in the box, but I have seen Birchbox giving away chocolate before so there you go. I did actually try this last Wednesday and umm.. yeah, did not like so much, okay, AT ALL. Yes it's only 42 calories and yes it's all healthy and what not but nope. Do not like miso soup.</div>

Another body lotion from Bee Kind. Cute name but I'm really not a fan of body lotion, I buy it, try it and then never end up using it again so find it a great waste of money. This one smells of lovely lemon (one of my favourite scents) and actually is one of few body lotions where a little goes a long way. A little bigger than a pea-sized amount actually did my whole leg! </div>

This is the 'blanc cachemire, crème de jour protectrice' which is a moisturiser from as you might have guessed; France. It's a protective day cream that retails at around £54.75 so this was a pretty good sample! I've been using it most days over the past week and my skin definitely hasn't succumbed to drying out during this harsh, horrible, dreary weather that needs to go away already.</div>

The Phillip Kingsley moisture balancing conditioner was a great surprise. I love haircare products as I'm always trying to find new things to refresh my forever dyed locks. It smells lovely and although I was very pleased to receive it, my hair is pretty long now, and pretty thick so this did about a quarter of my hair and I used my Vo5 on the rest so I can't quite say just how moisturising it is. </div>

The star product of this month was the Benefit POREfessional primer. I am ashamed to admit this is my first benefit product! I just can't afford the brand :(. I did love it, and it keeps my make up staying all day long and does actually give me a smoother look. But, on the downside if my face is dry, it does tend to feel a little like it's rolling off and flaking up if you know what I mean, which you probably don't as that was a rubbish way of explaining what I mean. But even still, I like it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The verdict for the first Birchbox: 8/10. I like all the products (except the soup) so I'm definitely glad I switched over, looking forward to what I get next (well this) month!</div>

Hey everyone, so I finally did it and made my first YouTube video! Granted it's not the best quality and also the silly audio messes up halfway through so I apologise for that. I'll try and record on a better program next time. This is the TMI Tag I've seen so many bloggers out there doing. Links in the video on YouTube. Hope you enjoy!</div>

So I've been blogging for about 6 months now and I have learned quite a bit about the blogging world and thought I'd share it with you lovely people!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1. Labels.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a big part of blogging. If you use Blogger.com then you just click the 'labels' header on the right and add any labels that relate to your post. I'm not sure about other blogging templates, but I'm sure a little look around and you'll find it. Labels will help your readers to find specific things on your blog that they want to read about. Say you've written an amazing recipe and someone wants to see if you've written anymore, any post you've labelled with 'recipe' will come up. It's a great way to get your old posts seen again and again.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>2. Share, Share, Share!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know it seems pretty obvious, but the more you share the more traffic you'll get! Social media is the top way to get your posts seen. I find that Twitter is more successful to Facebook, mainly because the majority of fashion and beauty companies have Twitter accounts and some will retweet you if you feature them and tag in the tweet, which is even more helpful to gain new readers. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Other sites you can promote your blog on is Bloglovin.com (mine can be found to the right) just make sure you put a button on your page otherwise nobody will know you're on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQDK-pu0kXwf-S6hmZ8LIBORvk7l_JQoErROH01q2UFknvLE-q-YfMkicU65o3jJs_FHO9SE2NEd-Tz0IkycM35lXWeN9sjbQiXF-ImzCl5zo0A0ASEwBl9BCTcl6tMaegLcjzrE87Q34/s1600/dddc888b540ffd5fb6bdcb18fcbd056c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQDK-pu0kXwf-S6hmZ8LIBORvk7l_JQoErROH01q2UFknvLE-q-YfMkicU65o3jJs_FHO9SE2NEd-Tz0IkycM35lXWeN9sjbQiXF-ImzCl5zo0A0ASEwBl9BCTcl6tMaegLcjzrE87Q34/s1600/dddc888b540ffd5fb6bdcb18fcbd056c.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>3. Show the love.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know blog writing can take up quite a bit of your time, especially when you get into the swing of it. But you should make sure to read other blogs. As well as finding out things you wouldn't necessarily know and then would want to try yourself, it's another way to promote yourself. If you comment on another blog (and I mean an actual helpful or original comment, not just 'ah that's well nice') chances are they'll share the love back one day. They've spent just as much time writing their posts as you have yours, we're all in the same boat! Posting about your favourite bloggers of the moment is another good way to show you're not just self involved and happy to help promote others. (check out my latest one <a href="http://imperfectbeauty425.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/blogger-love.html">here</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>4. Write from the heart.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another sure fire way to get your readers coming back is to write from the heart. Yes, I know you're writing a review or showing off your latest haul, but there's nothing wrong with putting a bit of your personality into your writing! Being yourself is always important and will be a constant in your writing, it will also set you apart from the rest and make you more memorable. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>5. Don't be afraid to try something new.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Even if you are a fashion or beauty blogger, there's nothing wrong with throwing in something a little different every now and then. I started primarily as wanting to just review the great products I'd found, but I find that people don't mind if you stray away from the original demographic of your blog. Throwing in the occasional food or lifestyle post is another way to set you aside from the rest and make your blog more original. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well if you're just starting out or been blogging for a while and nobody seems to be reading your posts, I hope this has helped!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So last week I was feeling a little bored, a little down and thought I'd give myself a little pick me up by giving myself a mini manicure. Now I'm no professional at all, and it's not even really a proper manicure, but I always find it thoroughly relaxing and there's something about doing my nails that always makes me feel good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's everything I used (excluding the sink!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. First take off any remaining polish from your nails with any old nail polish. I like to use the cleansing ones as my nails can be a bit dry sometimes. Then go fill up the sink with warm water and soap and just soak your hands for a few minutes. I've heard not to clip your nails before, and just file them down but this always seems to make my nails break off so I clip a bit then file them so they're more rounded. It's much easier to do this after you've soaked your nails as they're softer :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Paint them! Start with a base coat, I use Collection 2000's 2 in 1 nail strengthener (I find it stops chipping a lot better than normal base coats!). I wasn't originally a fan of the Elegance touch rapid dry spray, but it's done me well to just dry them off so I don't have to wait ages in between coats. Just a quick spray then you're onto the colour. I used Barry M 279 bright pink, trying to stop just going for reds over and over! I always use two coats of colour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Wait for them to dry, or use the spray, then use a top coat. Again I use the Collection 2000 one, it's just always done me well! Did my nails at the weekend and not a single chip yet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
4. If you're like me, and have tiny nails then inevitably, you're going to get some on your fingers. This is where the eyeliner brush comes in. Of course make sure it's not the same one you use for your eyes that could be pretty painful! Just dip it into the remover and brush it over the sides and anywhere you've accidentally painted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then voila! You're all done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I said, I'm definitely not a professional and I know I haven't used any of the tools really used in any normal manicure. But if you're feeling down and want a little pampering but don't have the money to go out, give this a try and have a little 'me time'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great day!</div>

Just my usual cup of tea and granola, although I added a couple of strawberries as my trainer has tad me I need to add more fruit to my diet, especially at breakfast! I also had a Muller vitality drinking yoghurt, it's the summer multi-fruits one, that counts as more fruit right? Ah well even if not, they're yummy!</div>

Okay bit of a random lunch here, but I hate thinking of what to have!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had some cucumber sticks and honey and mustard dressing (would have had pepper usually as well but ours tasted a tad funny..), Jacob's multigrain chive crackers with some low fat chive and onion, or garlic and onion.. something with onion anyway crackers. I also had this cup of Miso soup I got free with my Birchbox (review to come after I've tried out the products) and umm.. yeah Miso soup is NOT for me. Even after I stirred it and it settled it looked like it was sort of erupting from the bottom! So weird. Also had a nectarine and apple and grape juice.</div>

Had bit of a nutty craving when I was picking Tayla up from nursery earlier so I picked up this little bag of fruit and nuts, it's lovely! Still got half to eat when I go upstairs later tonight. Ooonly thing that annoyed me is that there were only three chocolate almonds! They're the best in the bag as well :(</div>

Apologies for the crappy photographs today, this one was mainly because I may have forgotten to take a picture of it.. again. In my defence I was pretty hungry! Yes it's another stir fry and a few prawn crackers, but it's different from last time I promise! I saw a Chinese BBQ sauce while in Tesco earlier and it was in the deal with the veg so decided to try it and I think I might like it even more than my staple chilli and garlic!</div>

Hmmm so you say pudding or dessert? I'm a pudding person. Only just noticed how blurry this is! I think that was from the steam, I couldn't see it on my phone! Anyway I had an ykos citrus (it's lemon, don't know who they're trying to fool) greek yoghurt, which are really nice by the way and also a mug of apple and pear green tea which I'm currently still drinking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pretty shocked I only had one cup of normal tea today! I don't know what's wrong with me!</div>
