ITS ALL ABOUT THAT MOTIVATION

 

Well I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year, When it is New Year I always use it as an excuse to reflect on the previous year/years. Today I saw a picture of me from about 1 1/2 years and I couldn't believe my eyes! I was astounded at the size I looked and how I could let myself personally get like that.

 

 I would love to have an excuse or a reason or even someone else to blame for my weight gain but it all truthfully boils down to me being lazy and over eating.

 

The photo that is displayed below is to show you what determination and a bit or willingness can do. The photo on the right clearly displays that I wasn't willing to do anything, I would rather of sat in my bed and ate all year round, until I had a reality check when I originally saw this picture.

 

The photo on the left was take 1 month ago, putting these pictures together side by side really motivates me and gets me in the mood to get back on track after the festive indulgent season. The difference between the photos in weight is 3 1/2 stone which might not be much to some people but it is a massive milestone for me. I cant wait to get back to the gym and working out again because I've forgotten what it feels like to feel the burn of progress!

 

 

I will be blogging my progress through out the year, how I work out and what I eat.

 

Thank you so much for reading!

PRODUCT REVIEW | AVON!

PRODUCT REVIEW | AVON

So as you may or may not know i am an avon representative, and have been for nearly 6 months. Every time im on a new campaign i always order myself something nice and new (you can never have too much avon stuff).

This was the new introduction to the eye shadow quads and this is the one i purchased in emerald cult. 

 I love this quad and everything about it !!

The pigment is just fabulous for something that cost me a mere £5 i think that's a BARGAIN !!

I got alot of compliments when i wore this to my friends baby shower and alot of my friends are now ordering from avon as they just love the products and i must say i do brag about avon ALOT!! 

If you have an avon rep near you, just take a look in the book and try something new!, you may be surprised by the results !!

thats all from me for now

PRE CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Pre Christmas Gifts

Recently I planned a trip to Manchester to see my best friend Lileth. She is attending university there and because of that i don't see her very often. Last yeah i vlogged the whole weekend and really enjoyed doing so, but me having my brain case i accidentally deleted all of the footage that i got, I go so annoyed with myself its untrue.

This year im so excited because my mum has given me my main Christmas present early. 

The present is a Canon PowerShot SX5000 IS

I may be in love with this camera. I've always been a lover of Canons so the fact i now own one really fills me with joy!. Now i have this camera, it has encouraged me to do more videos as i feel they wont be bad quality.

The quality the camera produces as it is such a small camera is amazing!. I took it with me when i sent to see five and the video and picture quality is just amazeballs!.

here are some examples !!

this is my hoover from where i was sitting

and this is the quality when i zoomed in half way, i think that is just incredible!

I was originally thinking of doing vlogmas but as my life isnt actually that interesting i scrapped that idea. 

well thats all from me and my brain case today 

thanks for reading!

BE MORE ORGANIZED

Be More Organized

So every time ive blogged the last couple of times ive noticed every single blog post has mentioned that i need to blog more. As i have a memory like a gold fish i literally forget everything! sometimes it gets me so annoyed! (huffs loudly)

so as i wont promise to blog more even though i will try, my blog posts are going to go all christmassy up in yo' faces!. Christmas is my favorite time of year and i get extra excited very (some may say too) early. 

Not so long ago i went to a shopping center in Sheffield and saw the cutest little shops which sold all sorts of stationary. The shop was called blott and i instantly fell in love with it! it has everything you could need in a stationary sense but it has a creative twist!

The notebook i have is the inspirations A5 lined notebook. Its so handy to have it in my bag for when i have a random youtube idea, or an idea in general. The amount of ideas ive had and forgotten because ive not had anything i can right it on or with.

 

Just the front of it sparks a few little ideas and gets my brain case all fizzy! 

Ideas are contagious, the best ones spread

Just a little sneak peak of an upcoming youtube video

Preparing to blog with me and my little book of ideas

so this little and convenient book was just £4.00 which i think is amazing! if you have chance to visit the site or shop then you will know full well what amazing things they have in store. 

well that's all from my blabbering mouth for now, 

my next post will be 

CHRISTMASING MY ROOM UP!
