First Snow

Hey hey lovely people!

Well, it finally happened.

I'm the type of person that gets the flu as soon as winter starts. Every October, you can guarantee that I'll be spending a week in bed, accompanied by my flu survival kit. 

Well, for some reason, I didn't this year. Personally, I thank Fuel Juice Bars obsession. Seriously, I think all the fruity vitamin goodness helped me stay well for the first time in my 19 years of existence, but back to the story.

I finally got the flu this week, which meant a week being bored at home. Seriously, I really wanted to be productive this week. I've just got another set of ALEX drawers and a fancy shoe-case thing which I'm dying to fill up!

Anyway, on Thursday I was sat in bed, when I noticed that it began snowing for the first time this winter where I live. 

With my camera by my side, I thought I'd take a few photos, which lead to videos, which then, because of severe boredom, lead me to create a little snow video, which I thought I'd share with you guys

Enjoy!

Happy Sunday everyone, and enjoy the weather where you are!

Thanks for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 9 - I'M FINALLY CURED

Hey hey lovely people!

Now, I know the title seems weird, but hear me out!

Okay, so as you know by now, since getting my braces on in April this year, I've had chapped lips. Now, initially, it was fine, I'd get bouts every 2 weeks or so, but it was completely manageable.

Then, about a month ago, it became extreme. I constantly had chapped lips without a break. My lip skin was peeling everyday and began stinging when I applied certain lip balms.

It's sounds so stupid but it was actually making be feel pretty sad, like it was never ending.

Well, that was until a few days ago, thank to a tip from my cousin: Use Vaseline.

No, I'm not talking about that little Vaseline lip therapy you get in a tin, I'm talking about full on, straight up Vaseline.

So, the next day, I popped into Boots and picked up a tub of Vaseline for just over £2, so already, I'm getting a better value for money, look at the size on it!!

Low and behold, ever since, my lips haven't cracked or peeled once. IT'S A MIRACLE!

So, to everyone suffering from really bad chapped lips, seriously, go out and get some Vaseline. It sounds so simple, and it is!

So, how many of you have ever had really bad chapped lips? Let me know in the comments below!

As always, thank you so much for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!

Blogmas Day 7: Five Reasons Why....You Should Exfoliate

Hey hey lovely people! We're already one week into Blogmas. I know the posts are kinda mediocre at the moment, but as soon as my uni deadline week is over, expect some extreme, photo filled, #SplitsOnTrees realness posts! (Okay, maybe not the last point, but still, be prepared)

Now, let's begin today post with the start of a new series, named 'Five Reasons Why'.

Today, 5 reasons why....You should exfoliate. 

1) To Improve Your Skin's Texture

Okay, let's start with the obvious one. Exfoliation will remove all of the dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, therefore letting the newer cells take their place and leave your skin feeling lovely and smooth. 

2) To Stay Looking Young For Longer

So now you know that when your dead skin cells are renewed, newer ones take their place. Well, over time, with regular exfoliation, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced. 

3) Helps Clear Spots

This is especially for acne prone/oily skin, as these skin types shed more skin cells, but they stick to the skin a lot easier. This can lead to them building up and the skin producing more oils, which in turn can both block your pores up. 

4) Reduce The Size Of Pores

So, we just discussed that lack of exfoliation can lead to blocked pores. Well, blocked pores appear bigger because of all that's in them. Unblock the pore and it will reduce in size!

5) To Moisturise Properly

This one is especially true for those with dry skin. Now, when we get dry skin, we tend to slap on some moisturiser, thinking it'll cure it. Now, look at it like this. Dry skin happens from a buildup of dry skin cells, which, in turn, you're trying to hydrate?! Instead, exfoliate those cells away, and then, moisturise the new cells underneath. 

Voila! Lovely skin for all! 

So, what do you like to exfoliate with?

 Personally, I love to use LUSH's Ocean Salt and my Olay exfoliating brush, but deep down, I'd kill for a Clarasonic! 

As always, thank you so much for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!
