Work It Out | Workout Music Playlist – Throwback #1

Getting a great workout in can be one thing, but having a great workout playlist to get your sweat on whilst working out can sometimes be a struggle. You never know how important it is to have a playlist that can pump you up, until you’re there, on the treadmill, trying to get the intensity as high as your body can handle. I am endlessly sitting on YouTube listening to music which I can purchase or add to my Spotify playlist to hep me get in the workout mood whilst at the gym.

Wedding Diaries | Plan A Wedding On A Budget #3

With my wedding now being just under a year away (time has literally gone by so quickly), there is still so much that I need to book, research and plan for. It’s a wonder how I will actually find time to get any of my wedding planning done with the little time I do have. I know what a lot of people, including my parents are saying, a year is a very long time. But in Wedding terms, a year is next to nothing, it’s no time at all! Considering there is communication chains that need to be tackled from one supplier to another, research needs to be done on prices and where to get the best deal, time does get consumed fairly quickly. It isn’t just time that proves to be a problem when wedding planning, the cost of weddings can steep up fairly quickly too, with every additional…

Beauty Hacks | Make Nail Polish Last Longer

Creating different looks on your nails can not only be a tasking exercise, but can be a great pampering session itself. I regularly change up my nail colour, and utilise Sunday’s as a perfect day to have an hour or so to myself to get my nails on point. However, after a few days you can find that your nails may have a few chips on the colour, and sometimes this can be a bit disheartening. After spending an hour or so doing your nails, the last thing you want is for the colour to disappear only after a few days. Usually I would expect my nail colour to at least last me the week, and that’s after putting a top coat on top. So to help stop this from happening, I’ve put a list together of ways to help make nail polish last longer, so your hand jewels are…

Get More Zzz’s | How To Get Better Sleep

Modern day sleep routines have been known to be a routine which is no longer that important to us any more, with most of us not even getting our recommended hours of sleep a day. It’s generally recommended that we get about 9 hours of quality sleep a day to help us focus on tasks the next day, wind down, and actually wake up on the right side of the bed everyday! There is nothing worse than waking up super grumpy the next day because your sleep has been interrupted or your just haven’t had enough. I for one am guilty of not getting enough sleep on a regular basis, and there’s only one thing that keeps me going everyday – coffee. Latte’s, Cappuccinos, Americanos you name it. So I think it’s amount time we aim to wind down, and drift away with a better nights sleep. So here are…

Laser Eye Surgery Diary | Two Week Update

As I haven’t posted an update on my Laser Eye Surgery Diary since my surgery day, which can be found HERE, I thought I’d post a short update on how things are going two weeks after my surgery. I mentioned in my surgery update that I was due to go back to Optical Express the day after, and one week after my surgery day just to check everything was A Ok. After the first week of recovery I did notice that my eyes were no longer improving as quickly as they had done the day after my surgery. Though, I did expect this as the biggest improvement in your vision is seen after the surgery day itself. Following this, I noticed that my vision wasn’t as clear as I would have hoped, and my vision was still blurry. Now this might just be me being really picky, and I can’t…
