BEAUTY OLYMPIA LONDON

Hi guys, so this post is slightly delayed.. (one slaps wrist!) I went to Beauty Olympia this year, if you didn't know Beauty Olympia is a Trade show for people in all aspects of the beauty industry.

It gives existing and new brands a chance to showcase their products directly to masters of the trade. Hairdressers, nail technicians & makeup artists filled Olympia to see the latest products and inventions.

I really enjoyed it this year, especially seeing brands from America that don't have many or any outlets in the UK such as Sigma, Milani, Crown Brush & NYX. My only pet hate was that the show was mainly for nails, literally every other stand was nails. I wished there was more makeup but thats just me. I would definitely recommend going, I spent around £200 adding some American and French goodies to my kit. There is no price on getting to test brands that I never usually would have access too.

A touch of sparkle never hurt anybody...

The face your husband pulls when he is dragged to a beauty trade show.. he he

I really hope you find this post helpful guys 

Sending love and high cheekbones to you all

PRETTY HALLOWEEN MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Hi guys & girls, so I filmed a really quick and simple Halloween Makeup tutorial. The products used in the video are makeup bags staples. So everyone will pretty much have an alternative if you don't already have the same products.

Life is to short to care about things that don't matter. So do a face paint and walk around with your head held high.

I really hope you like the look and please #Hashtag us on Instagram & Twitter if you recreate the look. Please subscribe and like the video it really helps our blurb going! <3

 lots of love & blueberry muffins!

LEATHER LUXE

Hi Guys!

I wanted to do a quick post on my current obsession for Autumn. At the moment I am loving all things leather, especially leather trousers! They don't necessarily have to be real leather just anything coated, leather look, leather like. I think this is such an easy way to dress up a casual look, perfect for a dinner date. I'm not ready to fully commit to long sleeve jumpers so I decided to go for a cream sleeveless cable knit roll neck jumper, ideal for the transitional weather. 

I had my make up done by Sebrina and I loved the look she did on me! I'm very excited to bring back out the darker colours, rich gold, brown eye shadows and autumnal plums and red lipsticks.

Jacket: Topshop

HOW TO STAY POSITIVE & MOTIVATED

Hi guys & girls, hope you are all well? Today is a different type of post because I want to be more helpful if that makes sense... I am not Anthony Robins or Rhonda Byrne but I am a firm believer in power of positive thinking. Sadly I usually dip in and out of staying positive because life seems to always get in the way.

However I have been making some conscious efforts to stay on track with my positive thinking. That's not to say that I don't fall off track now and then which I admittedly do. But I thought I would share some of the small changes I have made to my daily life in hope of achieving my dreams sooner rather than later.

Stop worrying,

This seems obvious and easier said than done but you would be surprised how if you just take a second to calm down and think rationally. Try to focus on solving the problem rather than just worrying about the problem you will see a huge difference in the outcome. We can worry but it won't change anything so what is the point?

Belief

If your in a situation that is not ideal right now for example a 'dead end job'. Keep your belief that you will get your dream job. Just simply keep the belief there is more out there for you and don't settle. When you truly believe something it does become true...

Set goals

Write down your dreams and set some goals and time frames. Setting goals allows you to measure your progress and keeps you focused and on track. (I need to update mine as most of previous goals I have gratefully achieved)

Action

Take action on your goals and desires. For example if you want to change your career start looking into short courses or if you want to decorate your home start a mood board of themes and ideas.

Let it go..

Everything happens for a reason that we may not understand just yet. Sometimes I struggle to accept this because things can happen that just seem so unfair. That is when belief kicks in to remind you there is more out there for you and not to worry about things you can't change.

I really hope this has helped someone out there,

Lots of Love as always
