Laughing It really is the best thing to do every day.
I make sure I’ve done it at least once a day and then I know at some point that day I was happy.
It’s the best medicine and the cheapest form of therapy.
Here are 3 things that will make you laugh
Friends with memories are great to get your giggle on
Watching a funny video on YouTube or a comedy
Looking back at old photos often brings a smile to my face
Always find someone in your life who’s going to make you laugh, I know that’s one of the qualities I look for in a friend or significant other. Unless you wanna be a sour puss and down in the mouth.
I paint my nails myself, I’ve never been and had any sort of extensions or gels. My nails are natural and I’m proud of them… Not so when they break right in the quick but let’s hope they don’t do that for a while or else they’ll all have the chop 🙈
So here’s this week’s look
Taken out in my garden as there was sunlight and needed to take advantage of it.
These are the nail varnishes used and I love the 60 second ones from Rimmel.
The technic one is very old but still adds a little something to a plain colour.
I reckon the price was about £9 for all 3 so that’s alot cheaper than going to the salon.
Last year I had the idea of featuring some bloggers and giving them a shout out so I thought I’d bring it back this year
Starting off my Feature Friday series we have
All things Gee
Gees blog is a little escape for her and hopefully those who read it. It is mostly a blog full of book reviews, she also love makeup and beauty. It contains the odd theatre review aswell
I really think you should go give her blog a nosey and give it some love
Secondly we have….
House of Kesar
Marion is a lifestyle and fashion blogger based in Nairobi. She mostly blogs about things in her niche that she loves and thinks will be helpful to others.
I finally got my act together and thought about this book i have been willing to write. I want to make it perfect, not just for me but perfect for all who read it.
So today I have come up with a plan and of course the title.
The cover at the moment is simple and I think I may leave it like that as nobody likes a garish looking book.
So if I plan to do two or three pages a night, I hope to have it completed by the end of the year if not before.

YES MY BOOK WILL BE HELPFUL, WHAT ELSE DID YOU EXPECT. YOU’LL WANT TO REACH FOR IT MAYBE IN A TIME OF NEED.
Gone are the days where people simply sat down at a desk or a, table and wrote in a book… I mean I still do it but things started to consume our lives….and get in the way.
Making sure your phone is fully charged so you can scroll through the whole of Instagram liking pics of peoples lives instead of creating your own life.
Having your ego boosted by how many likes /loves and whatever Emoji you have. Sure it can make you happy temporarily but is it that important to you. Personally I just share and if I get comments and likes then I do it’s not a goal I aim for like some do.
Sometimes it even gets in the way of relationships. Do you ever think would you be able to spend a week say with your significant other with no social media interaction. You love them more I’d hope to put it aside for the time you spend with them.
Social media isn’t going anywhere soon so do yourself a favour and look away for a bit. Don’t consume this thing we call life by obsessing over someone else’s.
When I did beauty therapy at college 12 years ago I always thought that the products we were using Dermalogica would never be in my price range.
Well it’s great when you spot a bargain, and that I did.
This Breakout clearing kit was £26. I am a sufferer of spots any time of the month so I’d be silly not to try it. The kit includes
a breakout clearing foaming wash
A breakout clearing booster
A skin soothing hydrating lotion.
The headband was a freebie.
This clear start blotting paper keyring is just perfect for on the go oily moments. He was also a freebie ( I’ll get to why at the end)
For when my skin in semi OK I thought this special cleansing gel would be one to alternate from the one in the kit. It was £11.50.
This daily microfoliant is meant to make your skin look radiant. I believe it will just not tried it yet. Its a powder. This was part of the freebie.
OK so you all probably know Toff from I’m a celebrity. She suffers with bad skin and works alongside Dermalogica. So if you spent over £30 and put in the code TOFF then you got some extras.
Not sure how long the offer is on but the freebies are about £20 if you bought them.
Oh this was at the bottom of the box, 4 of them actually. I’m hoping they make my skin perfect like their name.
I must say we had a treat this July with some glorious sunshine so that was a fave. Though it’s lovely now having a bit of breeze.
I have a nice handful of my favourite things I’ve been loving this month to show you, so let’s get into it.
BEAUTY BITS
Oh my goodness I have literally fell in love with this 24 hr moisturiser from Palmers. You can imagine the cocoa makes me smell of chocolate, which is a good thing as I’m a bit of a chocoholic. A little bit goes a long long way. Highly recommend it.
If you suffer with anxiety like me a little lavender essential oil will be your new best friend. I have used a little spray bottle added a few drops of lavender and then filled it up with water. Now I have my homemade anxiety reliever to spray on me, my pillows or in the air around me.
YUMMY BITS
This was part of my childhood and then I saw they still sold them I was so happy. They’ve been my go to snack when I’ve needed that sugar fix.
Oh wow, these tick so many boxes. As a lover of houmous. These chickpea crisps that are sea salt flavour, gluten free, vegan and 40% less fat. To top it off they are 50p at the mo for a big bag 😋
Through being lacking energy lately and then being put on tablets because I’m low on iron I thought I need something that has all the goodness but is still yum and these tea bags from Tetley are just that.
BITS AND BOBS
I have bought / had as a present a few notepads this month and as a stationery addict one can never have too many.
I have wanted to get stuck into a series and then I saw Derry Girls was on my recommendations on Netflix so I’ve watched the first season. The second season is on 4 on demand so I can’t wait to finish watching them all. The girls are balshy, Irish school girls standing up for what they believe. I love the Irish accent and it’s something to get stuck into. I’ll let you know what I think of the second once I’ve binge watched it.
I have really loved Vogues makeup /self care routines with well known celebs and I have always adored Liv Tyler from a young age so watched her self care routine this week. Worth a watch just to get the tips.
