Happy Bank Holiday Monday guys! ...I say this but

Happy Bank Holiday Monday guys! ...I say this but it doesn’t feel any different does it?! 🤪 I did read this week that they may be creating a Bank Holiday in October to make up for the two we’ve had during lock down and I am VERY much game for that. ⁣
⁣
Has anyone got any nice plans today? I’m planning to sun worship, splash around with the boys and maybe BBQ later 😋 (is it me or do the days just revolve around meal times now? 🤔)

Hands up who’s wearing make up today 🙋🏼‍

Hands up who’s wearing make up today 🙋🏼‍♀️ Come on, be honest! Who’s sans face paint in favour of bare skin? I’m hoping to get my face in the sun so I’m make up free but I’ll be playing with my current fav neutral palette from @toofaced very soon - this baby is a BEAUT isn’t it 😍⁣

AD What does your everyday skincare regime look like? I bet it’s full of creams, serums and lotions and potions...right? But what about supplements?
We often target our skin on the outside but we need to apply the same dedication when targeting it on the inside. I take @mypycnogenol supplements every day to aid my skincare regime. The all-natural supplement I’ve raved about for over a year works against the signs of ageing, improves hydration and elasticity levels – it’s actually found in products such as @renskincare’s ClearCalm Spot Treatment and @theordinary’s 5% Serum, but I prefer taking it in this potent supplement form. It’s one of the few true essentials in my regime and I’d recommend it to anyone age 30+ who’s starting to change their skincare to match their age. As cheesy as it sounds, real beauty starts from within so it’s time to think about supplements to nurish your skin.
Shop the supplements from @hollandandbarrett now.

What a Monday.⁣ ⁣ Homeschooling. Work. Toddler

What a Monday.⁣
⁣
Homeschooling. Work. Toddler with tummy ache. Everyone sharing their entirely confusing/conflicting thoughts on yesterday’s announcement. Food shopping (which we all know is the most stressful thing to do right now) and a house that resembles a tip...I’m so glad it’s wine time. ⁣
⁣
I have nothing else to say other than you’ll find me slathered in a face mask and drinking wine (potentially right out of the bottle) ⁣

Happy Monday 🥂

Do you use retinol in your skincare yet? I’m gen

Do you use retinol in your skincare yet? I’m genuinely curious if you do or not? I didn’t use it regularly until recently and now I’m switching between a serum and a moisturiser along with nightly retinol eye cream.

If you’re not sure what retinol is or what it really does, don’t panic, I blogged about it so head over to the blog for a look. Can deffo recommend the @muradskincareuk Retinol Youth products as a place to start if you’re not sure which products to try first. (Contains press sample)

Saw my girl @itssabrinaaa create a killer green eye look recently and it inspired me to have a go! Was so fun to spend some time playing with makeup on Saturday for a while...here’s what I came up with (having hooded eyes means I can’t nail a cut crease but I still added some sparkle because that’s my fav ✨⁣

Throwback to something I’d dreamed of for so lon

Throwback to something I’d dreamed of for so long...taking the boys to Florida. We made so many memories but there’s so much we didn’t do. When all this is over I can’t wait to get back and explore again. 💕⁣

...even the over 30’s can rock mouse ears right?!

Sundays are for skincare - right? I’m all about

Sundays are for skincare - right? I’m all about pampering and face masks and taking some time to invest in my skin and myself. But then lockdown happened and I started using a face mask almost every day - which has meant less of a #skincaresunday focus. Which is both good and bad! ⁣
⁣
Today I’m determined to do no work (something that’s hard for me right now as a freelancer who needs every piece of work I can get, cheers Rona) and just do the things I want to do: skincare, hot bath, do my nails, use a hair mask. And use as many face masks as I can too. Last week I blogged about my 7 favourite face masks for self isolation, I’d love it if you head to my blog and check it out. ⁣

Which face masks are you loving right now?

Hey guys 🙋🏼‍♀️ how’s everyone doing?

Hey guys 🙋🏼‍♀️ how’s everyone doing? Like, how are you REALLY doing? ⁣

My mood swings from day to day more than a fairground ride and is almost enough to give me whiplash. I’ve cried at the end of every bad film I’ve watched this week (even the REALLY bad ones, Geostorm I’m looking at you. Don’t watch it.) I’m missing my parents, I didn’t realise how much I’d miss them to be honest, especially as an adult who’s lived away from home since I was 18. I’m missing popping out for a walk round the shops - as materialistic as that sounds. I’m missing my friends - how much I want to squeeze them right now is unreal...⁣
⁣
And yet on the flip side I’ve realised a few things during lockdown...I’ve realised how grateful I am for my mum & dad. How blessed I am to have such a strong support network of amazing friends - who inspire me, love me and push me to be the best version of myself. I’ve made time for early nights which have always been good for me, and I’ve spent more time walking than ever before (and drinking wine but we won’t mention that.) I’ve found my early morning work ethic has got stronger and made me start each day on a really positive note. I’ve found a deep appreciation for fresh air and warm sunshine...⁣
⁣
So while some days are good and some days are not so good, I’m riding it out. I’m looking forward to the end of this ‘fairground ride’ but making the most of the experience as much as I can.⁣

How are you REALLY doing?

Ad Guys have seen my latest YouTube video?! It’s a good’un because I got an early access look at this months @lookfantastic Beauty Box and shared it with you in my video! ...and it was Impressive to say the least...it’s got a £100 moisturiser inside 😱

I have an exclusive discount code for you to use too: LADYWRITES8 gets you the box for just £8 🥰 (when you sign up for a 6 month subscription, and then the 5 boxes afterwards are only £13.75 each.) As far as beauty boxes go, it’s 6 products a month, minimum value of £50 (but usually a lot higher) and a great way to treat yo’self without a huge cost...plus you know, £100 moisturiser 💁🏼‍♀️ Will link in my stories for you to swipe up!

Filmed a little something for my YouTube channel today, did my make up especially and wore my favourite knitwear...so obviously I had to document it for the gram ✌🏻Felt fresh and it’s amazing the difference it makes to get out of your loungewear/pjs and put on some makeup and do your hair. I felt like a new woman!

Are you guys still living in your loungewear too?

I started my morning thinking about all the things

I started my morning thinking about all the things I want to do when lockdown is over. All the trips I want to take, the things I want to see and the memories I want to make with the boys. It’s funny how a time like this can really make you reflect on what you want out of life. I’ve definitely re-evaluated and found that hidden vault of Bucket-List style things I want to do. Somewhere along the line I’d got so busy in life that I forgot about my dreams and my wish-list... Life is precious and short and I don’t want to waste it thinking about things I should have done but never did. So I’m spending my Sunday looking forward to the time when I finally can do all the things I’ve put off for far too long... I just need lockdown to lift so I can actually do them✌🏻
