[GIFTED] BEAUTY: THIS WORKS LOVE SLEEP RANGE


THIS WORKS LOVE SLEEP RANGE 

If you've followed me for a while you will know i'm a huge fan of This Works and they're products. I especially love their deep sleep pillow spray! Today i'm sharing their new Love Sleep range! I haven't tried it all yet but thought i'd share the collection with you as it's the perfect range for Valentines Day  next week. 

First up is the Love Sleep Pillow Spray, as I mentioned above i'm a huge fan of their Deep Sleep Pillow spray so I was super excited when I spotted a new version. First up the packaging is new, the bottle is much nicer and feels more expensive. The new range has a new scent of Ylang Ylang and Patchouli to get you in the mood and encapsulated deep sleep fragrance to support a restful nights sleep.

Next is the Love Sleep Breathe In, very similar to the Pillow Spray but you roll on to your pulse points and breath in deeply. A sensual blend of Ylang Ylang, Patchouli and Frankincense leaves skin feeling nourished and encourages relaxation. 

The Love Sleep Bedroom Blend is an essential oil, just add a few drops to a diffuser or tissue, proven to relax and calm to make way for sleep and intimacy.

Finally is the Seduction Candle.  I have to say i'm a fan of candles in the bedroom. It calms me, I hate having harsh lighting on in the bedroom, I prefer candle light to get me in the mood. The Seduction Candle is perfect for this as it promotes a sense of wellbeing and the aromatheraputic blend will help switch you off and turn you on! The candle is lovely and smells gorgeous! I'm super excited to burn this and put it to the test! 

The Love Sleep range sounds amazing! I'm super excited to give it a try. I'm quite an anxious person and struggle to switch off so this range sounds right up my street. I'm already a big fan of the deep sleep pillow spray and honestly I couldn't live without it. I use it all the time when I'm struggling to switch off. I can honestly say I spend far too much time on my phone in bed and I know that this is a huge factor into my poor sleep. I really struggle to switch off and end up scrolling. I'm going to test out the pillow spray and the candle first and see how they effect my mood in the bedroom, with Valentines day next week it couldn't have come at a better time.

To shop the Love Sleep range head over to the This Works website now...

LIFESTYLE: WHAT FAMILY MEANS TO ME ?


Today's post is a little different, I want my blog to be a little bit more personal and I want to start documenting things again. When I started blogging it was more of a diary where I could write about things and it quickly turned a place full of beauty reviews etc... I am still going to feature beauty reviews but maybe some more personal posts too.

So what family means to me? I have a huge family aswell as alot of friends and other people in my life that I would consider family. Just a handful of these people are in pictures above.

My family mean the world to me and I love spending time with them. We always celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas and new year together. It's lovely having such a close family, that I get to see all the time. We are all close and we share everything, I announced my pregnancy very early to my family because I knew they would all be so excited.

As I said it's not just blood relatives that I class as family, I have a few friends that i'm really close to and I share everything with them, I get to see them regularly and we enjoy our time together, celebrate special occasions as well as just catching up over a coffee.

I think family means those very important people in your life that you want to share everything with, you enjoy spending your holidays together, share your important news with them, celebrate all those special occasions together. I love my family so so much and really cherish the time we all spend together. I am very lucky to have a lot of friends and family around me as not everyone is so lucky. I am lucky to have parents that are still married and my moms parents are still married and alive and a huge part of my life. Clints parents are amazing too.

Being happy for them and celebrating their achievements and successes! Wanting them to get the best out of life and be happy!

We do have our ups and downs like any family and sometimes you might need help when trying to resolve family issues. We live in a modern world where people get divorced or have to fight for custody of their kids and getting a lawyer or solicitor involved is your only choice. Slater Gordon is just that and make family matters simple and less stressful for you.

What does your family mean to you? Do you have a really small but close family? Do you even talk/see your family? Do you have a long distance relationship with your family?

I love flowers and Blossoming Gifts have so much to choose from, I know not everyone loves Roses so they have some lovely alternative bouquets in their Valentines section. The Scented Lily and Rose bouquet is gorgeous! They also have a huge selection of other gifts available and it's so easy to find something using their different catergories which make it super easy to search by recipient, price, range or character.

GIFT GUIDE: VALENTINES GIFT IDEAS



Valentines is less than two weeks away now! If you don't celebrate Valentines, whether you don't believe in the holiday or you don't have a partner and would rather ignore the fact Valentines is fast approaching you can do two things, ignore this post or have a little read you might spot some goodies that you can totally buy for youself. 

I think shopping for a Valentines present can be a little tricky as it just creeps up and we're all just getting over Christmas. Me and Clint usually set a budget and give each other hints of what we might want.

I always think lingerie is a good gift for Valentines, providing you know your partners bra size. It's always good to pick out something you like rather than going for what they always tend to go for because that way it shows you've put thought into it and they might end up loving something new and different. This set from Freya is gorgeous, it's called Hero! It's a lovely pink shade which is just gorgeous for Valentines. Hero is a plunge style bra with side support, I think the coverage in the cups is really good so this would be a good everyday bra. It's chilly out there and i'm still tucked up in jumpers so who cares if my bra is pink! It's so comfy, I love Freya bras, they are so lovely. I have the brief but this style also comes with a thong and a short, I think I will be picking the thong up so i've got a couple of matching pairs. Check out the Freya website as they have lots more styles to choose from I really like the Icon style and the matching thong, I've already dropped a little hint to Clint. 

If your after something a little more affordable there are some lovely lip products out there at the moment, these Burts Bee's Lip Crayons are gorgeous! They come in a selection of shades and are so creamy but have a matte finish. They are only £8.99 each and you can get them from loads of different places like boots, department stores and Marks and Spencer.

These Balmi Lip Balms are really handy too, they are only £4.99 and again you can get them from loads of different stores like boots and Superdrug. 

This I Love Pink Marshmallow Bath and Shower Creme is sooo good, it smells amazing! It's a really lovely gift idea, you could pick up a selection of the I Love .. products and some of the lip products from above and make a little pamper gift set. 

If you like the idea of putting together a little pamper set then you need to head to Lush because no pamper set is complete without some bath bombs and bubble bars. The Valentines collection from Lush is amazing!! I'm loving the Unicorn Horn Bubble bar and the Lover Lamp bath bomb, Lush also have a selection of Valentines Gift sets which are another fab Gift Idea!

#Verybloggers Photoshoot



Before I went away on holiday I was invited to the Very Bloggers photography fashion event, I responded straight away and was so excited to go. It took place in Liverpool so I got up very early to attend after my long train journey I arrived in liverpool and made my way to Very HQ. 

After meeting the lovely Chyaz from www.chyaz.com , Sarah from www.sequinthis.com and Sarah from www.fashiondotty.com  we had a tour of the very.co.uk hq which was massive ! From here we headed over to the studios. 

We had a look at some of the latest collections from Love Label and Definitions and got to pick two outfits that we would get to wear for our photoshoot. We then went into hair and make up where we got to have a play with the latest collection from Love Label, I'm wearing one of the lipsticks that comes in a pack of three. Both Sarahs had their photo's done before me and the lipstick lasted the whole time and looked amazing in my photos, i'm very impressed.  

I picked a gorgeous little gold sequin skirt and a Black lace bomber jacket  to team together which I think looked rather. The jacket was really comfy and I loved the skirt I would wear it with a black jumper in the winter with tights and boots or with a simple cami for a night out, it's so versatile. 

My other outfit was a PU leather dress that I fell in love with. It's so simple but effective, I teamed it with this gorgeous necklace and some heels. 

I love the final images and will do a blog post with a selection of the photos. Here's a few behind the scenes photos and you can also watch Very's own behind the scenes video below. 

I had an amazing day and met some lovely people and I would like to thank Miriam and the rest of the team who made the day great :)
