My 4 Favourite Scents

Hey guys,
so today I thought that I would share with you my favourite scents of the moment; I'm currently really liking quite strong but kinda fruity/spring like scents because then I just forget that it's really cold outside and look forward to spring and then summer! Also I'm
more of a body mist kinda gal rather than perfume gal, I just find then scents nicer and I just generally prefer the whole application as well.
The first one I want to talk to you about was bought for me by my friends for my birthday and it's the Victoria's Secret Fragrance mist in Pure Seduction. Now this I would describe as a mixture of fruit and flower I'm not too sure how to describe it but if you ever are passing Victoria's Secret then I definetly recommend going in and smelling a few of their fragrances because they all smell really nice.

The next body mist I want to metion is also from Victoria's Secret but this one is from the PINK side of the shop; it's the scent fresh & clean, now personally I don't really think the name suits the scent I would see clean & fresh as like the Yankee Candle in laundry fresh or clean cotton and this is definetly not that scent! It is more of a flowery scent but I do think that this scent is my favourite out of all of the PINK scents.

This was also bought for me for my Borthday by another one of my friends and I mentioned this scent in my post last Saturday and it's the Vineyard Peach scent from the Body Shop this I don't even know how to explain the smell but I really love it!

the final body mist I want to talk to you about is one I've been loving for a long time now and it's the Hollister California Crescent Bay Body Mist. This just reminds me of summer and holidays and is very nice this bottle as you can see is nearly empty but don't worry I've got another bottle ready for when this one runs out. I actually also mentioned this scent in last Saturday's blogpost and if you haven't read hat then be sure to check it out its full of all my tips and products to help your skin survive the winter weather.
That's all for today's post see you on Monday,

How to Help your Skin Survive the Winter Weather

Hey Guys,
So here in England the weather has got really bad and it's now super wet and cold outside and the harsh winter weather can really damage and dry out your skin so I thought that today I would share with you my favourite products to use to help rehydrate and protect your skin.

 The first thing I want to talk about is a hand cream, now I feel like your hands often get forgot about in the winter time but it is really important to use hand cream to keep your hands soft and hydrated; I like to use The Body Shop Hand & Nail Cream. 
Next I want to talk about you lips as in winter mine get really dry and chipped so what I do is exfoliate them; so after I've brushed my teeth I get my toothbrush and gently exfoliate my lips by moving it around in circular motions. This gets rid of the dead skin cells and also increases the blood flow to your lips which makes them look more red which is an added bonus! After you have exfoliated them it's a good idea to apply lip balm to rehydrate your lips and keep them feeling nice and smooth. I use the Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Lip Balm and I find this works quickly and lasts a long time as well so I don't have to apply it too many time throughout the day; but one thing I do do is put on a little bit of lip balm before I go out side because this helps protect your lips from the winter weather. 
Next I want to share with you a few body products that I use to moisturise my body all throughout the year really but especially in winter. The first I'm sure I've mentioned before and that's the Nivea Body Moisturiser, this is quite a thin consistency but is really hydrating and I tend to use this one after I've come out is the shower or bath. The second one I use if I haven't just got out of the bath or shower but am moisturising my legs in particular and that's the Hollister Crescent Bay Body Lotion, this is much thicker than the Nivea one and also smells really nice. And the final body moisturiser I want to talk about is the Body Shop Body Butter and I really like this one for when my legs and arms are feeling particularly dry as I think out of the three this one is the most moisturising and I really like the Body Shop Vineyard Peach scent as well which is the scent of the body butter I'm currently using.
The final products I want to talk about are a couple of face products that I'm absolutely certain you'll have seen me write about before but that is just because I really do love them and it's the Benefit Triple Performing Facial Emulsion and the Superdrug Vitamin E Moisture Mask. They both really help to hydrate your skin quickly and you don't need a lot of either which is also really good because it means they last longer! I use the Benefit moisturiser in the morning when I wake up and at night before I go to bed in the minter because my skin gets really dry and the face mask I use 3-4 times a week in the evening when I've got a bit more time to let it soak into my skin.

 So that's everything I wanted to let you know about today let me know what your winter skincare essential is in the comments and I'll see you on Monday,

My Instagram Stories #2


Hey guys,
so I thought that today I would do the second post in a series called My Instagram Stories, if you didn't see the first one then you can click here to see it but if you did then we can just get straight into todays post so here we go,


The first photo I want to show you is of me and two if my best friends Clari and Pippa before we went out to a party in October half term.

This photo was taken at Alton Towers when me and my friends went there on Halloween for Scarefest as Megan's birthday party. It was really good and I would definitely recommend going this year. 

This was a photo I took of my sparkler on Bonfire night at a family friends house. We all had a meal together and then set off fireworks and had sparklers in their back garden.

In the Christmas holidays I went to Manchester with my family and we went and looked around the Christmas markets; there were all sorts of different stalls selling all sorts from fudge to decorations to bratwurst. It was such a good day and the market were spread out all over the city that lead from one to another.

 I spent New Years Eve with three of my best friends, Pippa, Clari and Becky; we all went out for a meal and there was a disco there as well. It was so fun spending new years with my friends we had party poppers and party horns as well and we all had a really good night together.

 The final photo I want to share with you today is this one of me and my best friends in the photo booth in Topshop on my birthday. It was my birthday last Tuesday and my school didn't start back until Wednesday so we all went to Meadowhall and saw Daddy's Home at VUE which is really funny by the way and I definitely recommend it. We also went for a meal at Handmade Burger Co. afterwards which is my favourite restaurant even though I don't actually like beef burgers, I really like the classic chicken burger which I think I've had every time I've been for a meal there!

I hope that you liked todays post, I'll see you on Saturday,

My Blogging Essentials

 
Hey guys,
So today I thought that I'd share with you my blogging essentials. I'm not going to ramble on today so let's just get right into it.

 The first things that are a definite must for me is my laptop and iPad; I use them both to write, edit and publish my blog posts. Most of the time I write them on my iPad in nite and then copy them onto here. Then I add in pictures and finish editing it on my laptop before I publish the post. 
Speaking of photos I need to take them before I can put them in a post! I mostly take the photos for my blog on my camera which is the Nikon 1 J2 which is a really good camera and it's also small and compact which makes it easy to transport and I take a load of photos on it so I use a 16GB SanDisk Ultra SDHC card to store them on and then I have a spare so that I can use that when this one is full.
If I'm not using my camera or don't have it on me then I use my phone to take pictures. I have the iPhone 5S which has a good camera on it and if I've taken a photo on my phone then I often use VSCO Cam which is an editing app that I use to edit all of my photos on my Instagram as well as some on my blog so if you don't have a camera but want to make your photos look better then definitely try this app out; it's so quick and easy to use and really makes a difference to the way your photos look.
My next essential is something I use before any of the previous ones and that's a notebook and  a pen. I use it to jot down any thoughts or ideas that come into my head to do with my blog. I like to have a separate notebook just for my blog so that it's away from any other things I jot down. I really like using a notebook and physically writing my ideas down on pen and paper rather than just typing on my phone or iPad but I do still use them to make notes if I don't have my notebook on me.

 That's all of my blogging essentials, I hope this helped you if your interested in starting a blog or have one already, see you on Monday,
Charlotte x
