HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015 , NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS & REFLECTING UPON 2014

Hello Beauties, so I took a bit of a break away from blogging just before Christmas as it all got a little bit hectic with work and of course with the festive season I wanted to spend some quality time with my family, friends and in general decided I need a break . I am now officially back and excited to start working on my blog again as I have some exciting stuff coming up this year which I am very much looking forward to sharing with you all. Although I took a break way from posting I have been doing some  behind the scene work and planning etc. I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and want to wish you all a Happy New Year! 

With the new year of course comes the contraversive topic of New Years resolutions and although I do agree with many people who says everyday is a chance to start fresh I have set myself some goals which I hope to achieve in the upcoming year. I would like to dedicate more time to my blog and produce higher quality content, pursue my interior design career further and lastly continue with my fitness and health journey not just to be able to get the body in the shape and from I want it in but also to lead a more healthy lifestyle, these are the main three goals I have set myself on top a few smaller ones such as being more positive , living for the moment and appreciating what I have more rather than focusing on what I don't and I do think a lot of us are guilty of some of these. 

The year of 2014 was a year were I would say was a bit of a rollercoaster for me it had it good and bad sides , it was a year where quiet a few changes took place in my life I moved back to London after living in Cardiff for four years as after I graduated I was offered a job as an Interior Designer which was such an amazing learning opportunity but it was time for me to move back to London and start a new chapter in my life and although not everything went completely to plan I do think everything happens for a reason  this year I am aiming to pursue my career as an interior designer further in London to gain more experience and hopefully travel a bit more as I would love to visit a few countries were I could possibly work within an interior design company which would be an amazing experience but I am also hoping to get more involved in the fashion and beauty industry as it is also something I very much enjoy and have a lot of interest in . Last year has defiantly encouraged me to work hard towards my goals and life plans so I am looking forward to 2015 and the  possibilities and opportunities it holds.  

What are your 2015 resolutions? 

QUIZMAS: 'TIS THE SEASON TO PARTY

It is officially nearly Christmas and the party season is just around the corner yet I know from personal experience that dress shopping can sometimes be a last minute thing for all us with all the Christmas preparations, Christmas shopping sometimes the time seems to have gone so fast we have had no time to actually prepare. I was recently contacted to be part of a  Blogger Competition ran by the Brand Quiz which I personally love and have bought from before and really like their affordable yet very trendy pieces. The competition itself is pretty simple, all I have to do is complete their Quizmas for the Christmas and New Year party season celebrations , so here we go.

1.The Christmas theme I would have would be…  my own made up theme "Sparkles" I'd want it to be pretty magical with everyone wearing sparkly, glittery garments with champagne and of course lot's of festive food.

2.One thing every Christmas party needs is… Christmas Music , festive food and bubbly drinks

3.The Christmas song I’d put on repeat would be… ah there's so many I love but maybe Jingle Bell Rocks as its upbeat.

4.The celebrity I would invite would be… once again a pretty tough one Rihanna?

5. I would kiss….under the mistletoe  Ryan Gossling? We can all wish around this time of the year right? haha!

6. The dress I would wear at the Quizmas party would be… The gorgeous Multi Coloured sequin dress number above , this dress caught my attention straight away and of course I chose a pair of shoes these silver glitter heels are perfecto, a gorgeous boxed clutch oh and a silver bracelet just to complete the look. It would be perfect for my 'Sparkle Christmas Party' .

Of course no Christmas Party look is complete without the make up and I decided to keep it simple yet still festive with a simple look but bronzed skin with a gorgeous highlighting blush, a highlighter and of course some dramatic lashes to add some glamour to the over all look.

What do you think of this gorgeous sparkly dress?

SUKIN MOISTURE RESTORING NIGHT CREAM REVIEW

Organic / more natural skincare has been becoming a ' beauty thing' over the last few months and more brands are coming out with products which are natural and contain less chemicals. I have not so long ago discovered the SUKIN Brand and was very curious to try it out. Being on the look out for new night cream I came across this SUKIN Moisture Restoring Night Cream and decided to give it a go.

The formula of the SUKIN Night Cream is semi thick but it glides over the skin very easily and absorbs very well without leaving an oily residue. I actually did a test where I switched up my night cream for a day ( after using this moisturiser for just over a month) and went back to the Sukin moisturiser the next day to see if I did see any results and just out of curiosity . After my little beauty experiment I found that when I apply this product at night my skin feely and looked a lot more plump and nourished in the morning with a super soft finish. Another great discovery I've made over testing out this product is that even though I wake up with soft and very nourished skin I don't have that oily residue on the skin when I wake up which having combination skin I have found that with some night creams I have used in the past I would wake up with a rather greasy looking skin which is not ideal nor attractive.

This product I feel has pretty much everything you need in a night cream especially if your into something natural, paraben free and nourshing oils based. The cream contains a mixture of natural oils from avocado oil, evening primorse oil , jojoba oil and many more which are great at restoring and replenishing your skin especially at night as this is the time your skin renews itself.

Packaging: SUKIN as a brand have a quiet simple almost organic feel to their packaging which I really like. With this particular product it comes in glass jar which I personally prefer to a standard plastic one not only does it look nicer I feel it gives the product a more luxurious feel to but thats just me being fussy haha. I do however feel that as it comes in a jar some of us find that a little unhygienic dipping our fingers in there everyday but I have found a simple yet effective solution to this, simply use a cotton bud to pick out the product form the tub dot it around your face massage it and your done ( so smart of me right ;) haha ?) .

Overal I am very happy with the product so far and will be trying out some more of their skincare range. The brand has multiple products from cleansers, scrubs and oils designed for any skin type.
Have you heard or tried SUKIN before?
