Top 5 snacks for summer!

Hi Everyone!

It has been about a year since I last updated my blog! But I'm back now and am going to attempt to post at least twice a week!

Todays post is all about being fit and healthy for summer, so I'm going to share with you my top 5 guilt- free snacks that I'm loving at the moment.👍

1. Alpen light have a delicious range of cereal bars inspired by cakes and desserts! My favourite two flavours are the refreshing Lemon Drizzle flavour and the scrumptiously sweet Bakewell Tart. Guilt- free snacking at its best, not to mention each bar is only 70 calories!

2. I'm sure everyone has tried dried fruit at some point, but apple crisps are by far the nicest dried fruit I've ever had! Although they're not the most slimming snack in the world, they are full of fibre and have great nutritional value.

3. Who doesn't love a nice bowl of cereal for breakfast? But cereal can be very fattening and full of sugar and unhealthy additives. That's why I've been loving Special K Red Berries. It contains less than 2% fat and is perfect for keeping your energy levels up for the day ahead.

4. It seems a bit obvious, but bananas and apples are great snacks. Needless to say they are full of vitamins and bananas are a great source of potassium. Also, eating fruit helps to clear your skin and give it a glowing, dewy appearance!

5. My final snack is a little less healthy, and that is the white chocolate Kinder Bueno. Not only is it delicious, but it is also very low in calories for a chocolate bar!

I hope you enjoyed this post! Please leave any post subject requests in the comments below!

Makeup Q&A

1. Do you apply your foundation with a brush, sponge, or fingers?I don't wear foundation
2. Do you apply your eyeshadow from light to dark? or dark to light?Light to dark.

3. Do you prime your eyes?Yes, I always do, as it keeps the eyeshadow lasting longer and it stops it from creasing or smudging as I have combination skin.
4. Concealer first, or after foundation?I apply my concealer after my moisturiser.
5. Go for manicures, or manicure yourself?I have always loved nail art and painting my nails. I'm told it is one of my talents! (haha) I used to get them done at my local salon, but now I always do them myself. That way I can change them whenever I like and paint them/ design them exactly how I want to and I don't have to worry about the cost.
6. Exfoliate lips, face or both?If I'm wearing a very opaque lipstick, then I will exfoliate my lips using a toothbrush, but I don't do it on a regular basis. I exfoliate my face about once a week.
7. On average, how long does it take you to do your makeup?About half an hour before work/ school, but if it is a special occasion it can take me up to an hour!8. Do you wear makeup everyday and everywhere?I love wearing makeup and experimenting with it, so I do wear it most days. I always like to make sure that I don't wear any at least one day a week, so that my skin gets a break.
9. What release are you most excited about? (Makeup)Baby Lips still haven't been released in England yet! I do have a lot of the different, but I would love for them to come out in England!
10. What’s your weakness? Shoes, purses, clothes, jewelry, eyeshadow, lipstick or other?I just love buying makeup in general!
11. Do you whiten your teeth?No.
12. Wax eyebrows, or pluck?I pluck my eyebrows, as I like them to be really thick and square. I think that they frame your face, so the more naturally defined, the better. Waxing would make them too thin!
13. What do you use to contour?I use Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium/ Dark.
14. False lashes, or natural?Natural is always better, but I love adding half- lashes on a special occasion.
15. Favorite makeup brand?Urban Decay, Mac,Benefit, Maybelline, Revlon..... I love them all!
16. Liquid eyeliner, pencil or gel?I can only wear liquid or gel eyeliner, as pencil irritates my eyes. I prefer gel though, as it is easier to apply, it dries faster and stays put for the whole day. Liquid is available in a wider range of colours though.
17. Lipstick, lipgloss or chapstick?Lipstick and chapstick.
18. Pigments, pressed or cream eyeshadow?I can't choose! I love them all! Pigments are best for softer, metallic looks. Pressed eyeshadows are really easy to apply and are available anywhere really. Cream eyeshadows are PERFECT for creating a subtle smokey eye, as you can just layer the colour towards the outer corner.
19. If you had to wear only one thing, excluding foundation; what would it be?Mascara. It makes me look more awake and it accentuates my eyes.
20. Favorite color?Purple or pink.21. Favorite color combination?Purple and pink!
22. Natural? or Dramatic? (Eye Makeup)Natural with a bold lip and dramatic with a nude lip.
23. Do you care more for quality or name brand?Quality definitely, as there are some awful products out there made by great brands and there are some amazing products that are almost undiscovered because of their brand name.
24. Do you enjoy using face masks? If so which ones?I love the Superdrug peel off facemasks, they smell amazing! I also really like the mud facemasks, as they make your skin feel so soft.
25. What is your current addiction? (example: lipsticks, eyeshadows, earrings..)

Lipstick, as it is now summer, I'm not wearing a lot of makeup, so I love to add a pop of colour using a fun, bright lipstick!

April Favourites

Hi everyone!
Today's post is my APRIL FAVES!

So this month i've had an obsession with the colour khaki, so my first favourite it this jacket from H&M. I love the tarnished gold stud detailing on it and it's quite light so it's perfect for spring!
£29.99


My next favourite is the new Percy Pig Rosey Noses. For those of you who don't live in England, they are raspberry flavoured marshmallows!

I have also been loving the Maybelline colour tattoos in the shades 'Eternal gold' and 'Permanent taupe'. They look amazing on their own and you can also blend them together to make a khaki/ bronze colour. I really am loving shimmery makeup at the moment so these are perfect to create that look!

My favourite Lip product for spring has been the Maybelline baby lips lip balms! Especially in the flavour 'Cherry me' I also love 'Melon mania'!

For my favourite scent, I had to choose the Hollister silver strand beach perfume as it smells so nice! It's very citrus-y and quite sweet. You get quite a lot in the bottle, so it is very good value for money, as it lasts all day too!

I've really been loving the boho fashion this month. I love the beach wave- hairstyle and gold eye make up and natural cheeks and lips. My Seventeen bronzing palette highlighter creates the perfect glowing dewy skin to compliment the look!

My favourite song this month has been:
Summer Shade by Cody Simpson and Popular by Ariana Grande and Mika.

Thank you all for reading! What have been your favourites for the month of April?
