TLOV | What to do after college

7HRFNYC7GU

When I was younger I never really knew what I wanted to be. I was sort of in a haze between doing something I was good at or doing something that I as going to enjoy at that time. Truthfully there was nothing more that I wanted to be than a hairdresser. But really I knew that was only because I enjoyed chopping off the hair on my dolls, or styling my mum or sisters hair. I knew for someone like me that wasn’t really going to work out as a career choice, as not only was I and still am indecisive meaning that I couldn’t make a decision to save my life, but I also got pretty bored easily, and I enjoyed and thrived on challenges. I just needed to figure out what do to after college.

I needed something that was going to keep my brain ticking and challenge me on a day to day basis. And hairdressing for me, wasn’t quite going to cut it. Hence why I kept it as a hobby and here I am with my blog. View Post

Wedding Diaries | Help Clear Skin Review

Having clear skin is something we all long for. Especially with a special day like your wedding drawing closer. The thought of a day full of having your photo taken and being centre of attention can be quite daunting, especially if your skin isn’t looking in tip top shape. The Help Clear Skin* is the one secret that can be shared with you for clear skin.

Unfortunately, a third of women are constantly worried about their skin and stubborn spots that break out in areas that are visible. With this playing on our minds during our big day, we really need something to keep our skin at bay and behaving. A soluble formula has been introduced into the market, whereby all you need to do is pop the soluble table into any drink you chose, and drink it. View Post

Challenge | a week without a washing machine

A Week without a washing machine

For many of us, the washing machine is something we literally cannot be without in our household. It keeps our clothes smelling fresh and clean, whilst maintaining the look of each garment and restoring them back to shop bought quality. Washing liquids and detergents themselves have taken a huge leap in our supermarkets, with smells getting better and better giving out clothes a unique smell that can be associated to the individual. But we are also putting our washing machines through their paces, with many of us using washing machines more than 3 times a week for our loads. Due to this it is any wonder exactly how many liters of water and energy is being used for washing cycles that may just be unnecessary to run. I was challenged to go a week without a washing machine.

TLOV | Dealing with abusive relationships

How to deal with abusive relationships

Relationships are difficult. One minute you think you have found the one, the next minute things are over without you even seeing the signs. Sometimes though, as much as it doesn’t feel like it, it can be a god send for the relationship to be over, as it could be one deemed as an unhealthy relationship. When someone says unhealthy relationship it isn’t one whereby it’s making the individual unhealthy internally, it’s more the emotional unhealthiness it would have eventually led to. So how do we cope with unhealthy relationships, that may be abusive? View Post
