Fitness and Healthier Lifestyle

Hello everyone! 

So another more chatty post today as there is something I want to write about that my friends and I have started to do, and it is something that could benefit everyone!

We were chatting one morning and talking about how unhealthily we had been eating recently. Although it's so nice to eat a bar of chocolate every night, or however often, it would be so much nicer if we ate healthily and we would also feel a lot better about ourselves.

So we created this plan that every day we would spend half an hour, or so, working out to become stronger and fitter as that was something we also needed to work on! We also decided that we would try and include more fruit and vegetables in our diet, whether it be within a smoothie, in our meals, or just sitting watching TV with a bowl of raspberries. It would also make us feel more energised as well as making our skin clearer ect. Another thing to add to our plan was drinking a lot more water. At our age we should be drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day. This seemed like a lot however within a couple of days of drinking that much, I noticed that my skin looked a lot clearer and I felt a lot more hydrated, as well as reducing the amount of headaches I have. However we knew this wouldn't be easy if we were going to stick at this, so we have allowed ourselves 2 small unhealthy things to eat a day. This may seem as if all the work we are doing is going to waste, however after the Easter holidays, we are going to reduce this to one, which will be hard however we have to push ourselves in order to see a difference.

After doing this for just over a week now, I have noticed a change within myself. I am a lot less tired, I feel a lot healthier as well as many other positives which I'm sure will increase if we carry with this regime. Having friends do this with you keeps you very motivated which I think is why we have kept at it! I would really recommend doing this and see what a difference it makes. I will report back how it's gong in the next post!

Thanks for reading

My Top Three Favourite Drugstore Concealers

Hello everyone!
 
Recently I have become even more addicted to trying out new beauty products, especially concealers, as there are lots of different concealers around at the moment which means there is even more reason to buy some. This has meant that I have developed a small collection and have recognised which concealers are good and which are not so good. I have been particularly impressed with the concealers from the drugstore and so I though I would share with you my three favourite and most effective concealers.
 
 
 
3. Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer  £5.49 - This concealer claims to do a lot of things such as reawaken and illuminate underneath the eyes, as well as be a full coverage concealer. After trying this out for a couple of months, it has continued to give a brightening and awakening effect underneath the eyes which makes my makeup look a lot more dewy which is the look that I really like to wear, especially in the summer. It dosen't give as much coverage as I thought so I wouldn't use it on blemishes, but I can understand why everyone raves about it, as it really is a good concealer and will continue to remain in my makeup bag. I have this in the shade, 'Ivory'.
 
2. Soap and Glory Kick Ass Crayon Concealer £6 - This concealer has been my go to concealer for a while now as it evens out the skin perfectly as it is a yellow toned concealer which I am a large fan of. It works really nicely when applied before foundation as it evens the colour of the face. It claims to blur and brighten areas of the face which it does perfectly as well as having a reasonable amount of coverage which means it is a great all round concealer and one that I want with me all the time. I have this in the shade, 'Light'.
 
1. Collection Lasting Perfection £4.19 - Now for my favourite concealer, which is a very recent buy. I wanted to get this for a long time as a lot of people raved about it, however some people didn't so I was a bit on and off about getting it. But I finally went out and bought it and as soon as I used it I fell in love with it; I totally realised what everyone was talking about. it is the most full coverage concealer I have used, as well as being very brightening, especially underneath the eyes. For the price that it is and that its in a drugstore is great and I would really recommend purchasing this from your local store. I have this in the shade, '01 Fair'.
 
Well these are my three favourite concealers at the moment and I would really recommend having all of these in your makeup collection, as they all do different things but all are things that can change up the look. Enjoy them!
