My Mascara Routine

I did a mascara routine not that long ago (well October last year) but I know do my mascara slightly differently and wanted to let you all in on how I do it now!

I do actually use the same products barring one. I still use Maybelline's The Rocket mascara and Jordana's Best Lash Extreme Mascara with Primark's mascara but I just don't make my lashes so "clumpy".

First up I curl my lashes, and how amazing are these curlers considering they are £1 from Primark!!!

First I put on my layer of Maybelline's The Rocket Waterproof mascara on my top lashes. In case you didn't know here's a tip: if you have really straight lashes like me then curl them and add a waterproof mascara, it may be annoying to get off but it holds the curl ALL DAY!

Then I apply a little of Jordana's mascara on my bottom lashes, as I feel I just look bizarre without mascara on my bottom lashes!

AND THIS IS MY FINAL LOOK!

What are your favourite mascaras?

Feeling Blue // Jewellery

Now I'll tell you whats actually quite tricky, coming up with sort of witty titles for these jewellery blog posts, obviously I'm not really feeling "blue" but was just trying to be a bit clever with the name.

I'm not entirely sure what I have shown out of these 2 jewellery items before but I do just feel they go very well together.

I do believe I have shown this ring before, this ring was the first more precious piece I was gifted, so thank you mum and I still love it just as much as the day I received it! This ring, to me, not only looks like the symbol of the company "Blue Wing Gallery" but also reminds me of a wave, and we all know I have an extreme love of the sea.

Taking to blue from the ring I paired it up with these gorgeous turquoise disc earrings that were from a gallery in Padstow. My grandma very kindly bought them for me and I think they're are a gorgeous set. The striking colour with the silver border just appeals to me, and every time I see them I love them even more!

I have recently started putting different earrings in my second holes now as I have decided they must be healed by now, and I also bought some new earrings to put in them so I can't wait to show you those!

7 Easy, Healthier Food Alternatives

Photo Source: Google

Now I am the first to admit I definitely don't eat the healthiest and need to do better. But with saying that there's nothing wrong with treating yourself to something naughty now and again!

Here are some tasty and healthy alternatives, because I now I feel better when I eat healthier!

The obvious, swap sweet things for fruit!
Swap those potato chips for sweet potato chips
Change your squash/cordial for fruit infused water
Have quinoa or brown rice instead white rice
Opt for brown bread instead of white bread where you can
Instead of going to the cupboard for crisps have a snack on flavoured rice cakes OR at the moment I really really like Rivita Flatbreads!
There are so many flavours of Popcorn out at the moment, which really aren't bad

Also a tip, when you're feeling hungry have a drink first, because a lot of the time you might be thirsty instead of hungry!

Lip Combo of the Day

Today I have one of my new favourite lip combos!

I randomly came up with this combination recently but I have fallen in love with it so wanted to share it with you.

Products:

Grimas Lip Liner (I don't know the number I'm afraid but it's a dark pink)
Seventeen's Lipstick - It's A Kiss Off
Rimmel Kate's Lipstick - 16

First I lined the outside of my lips with Grimas' lip liner and then smudged a little onto the rest of my lips also.

To then match this colour I used Seventeen's lipstick in It's A Kiss Off to just dab lightly on my lips.

And to finish the look of I applied Rimmel Kate's Lipstick in the shade number 16 all over.

Getting rid of any excess and also making it slightly matte I just used a tissue.

I personally think this is a gorgeous combo for Summer!

GoPro Haul

If you've seen my latest Youtube videos (check out my channel HERE - cheeky plug!) Then you'll know I recently bought a GoPro! To this day I am still way too excited about this fact and still way too excited that I actually own one.

So with owning a GoPro I feel that then the natural progression is to buy accessories, but to wisely buy ones you will use a lot or can use in the future. Before buying the accessories I did think what ones I believe would be suitable for me and worth the money.

In my last blog post I mentioned I had recently been to Cornwall. There they have Ann's Cottage Surf Shops, and they sell a load of GoPro products and that's where I then went to buy mine.

First thing I bought was a surfboard mount, now for me this will have multiple uses. I intend on learning to surf pretty soon, and also this will be used on my dads canoe when we use it. This comes with 2 mounts, which are very sticky pads so they will cling on and will be difficult to remove! Also just a tip if you ever buy these apply to your surfboard or whatever 24hrs prior.

Next up is the chesty chest harness this I have quite a lot in mind for, but I mean its a chest harness so I'm sure I don't really need to explain what I could use this for!

Here we have GoPro's floaty back door, this red thing is basically a float, and you get 2 backdoors to stick it onto. If you drop you GoPro into the water by mistake then this will make it float! Which for me was a no brainer to buy because no way do I want to be losing my GoPro. If your GoPro is attached to something that doesn't float then this will probably not be strong enough to make your camera and accessory float.

Finally, noooo this is NOT a selfie stick, I guess it could be used for that but I certainly don't intend on using it that way! Now this was expensive but worth it (especially as my GoPro and chest harness were free on Tesco Clubcard points!) I intend on using this for everything! Another tip for you is if you want to use this or any pole for your camera underwater be VERY sure to rinse under clean, fresh water immediately after use, and the same goes for your waterproof camera, this will just ensure that the products stay in good condition.

And that is everything I bought!
Hope you enjoyed this little haul.

Home Is Where The Sand Is Between Your Toes

Good Morning everyone and welcome to a new post about my last holiday!

Now if you've been reading my blog for a while then you won't be surprised about the fact that yes once again I have been to Cornwall. The weather was AMAZING and I won't lie I did get a bit burnt, but I am a nice shade of tanned now!

Some pictures were taken on my phone because I am seriously thinking about getting a small camera as mine is just so big and bulky! Also a couple of images have been slightly edited as they are future Instragram posts.
