Winter Skin Care

With the cold winds and scarfs and thick fluffy socks at the ready, it can only mean one thing. That winter is coming. (Game of Thrones reference there, haha) Well it will be in a few weeks so I'm preparing myself now for it.

I suffer with dry skin and its made worse within the winter time due to the coldness. It is also effected by the fact I work in a dry and sometimes humid warehouse and my hands suffer the most because I'm consistently picking things up and pushing heavy things. 

So for the dry patches I get on my arms and my legs I use Nivea Body Moisturiser Rich Nourishing for Dry Skin! This moisturiser has Almond Oil within it which helps soften the skin and helps to restore the moisture. This Nivea moisturiser has what they call Hydra IQ which is meant to  help promote a non-stop moisture supply within the skin! All I'm going to say is that this product works fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone that suffers with dry skin! This is quite a big bottle and it has last me ages, I can't actually remember when I brought this but I think I've had it since about August and it's still going strong.

I suffer with dry skin on my face from time to time, so I use a Clean&Clear Dual Action Moisturiser! This moisturiser will be what I use during my skincare routine but sometimes I don't use it because I forgot or just can't be bothered to use it. However when I don't use it, I suffer with dry skin so this is a another life saver. It's designed for obviously moisturising as well as helps prevent spots and blemishes from appearing! But another great moisturers! 

My hands is what gets dry the most and this is because I use them a lot at work by picking things up and pushing heavy objects around for 8 hours a day! I use 3 different hand moisturisers dependent on what my hands are needing! 

1. Vaseline - Healthy Hands + Stronger Nails

This moisturiser is brilliant because it is multi purpose product due to it being designed both moisturising the skin as well as help strengthing the nails by up to 50%. This hand cream contains Keratin + Stratys-3 which combined helps moisturisers not just the top layers of skin but the core and deep down layers too.

2. Garnier Hand - Intensive 7 Days Hand Cream HYDRATING. 

This hand cream is designed for normal to dry skin. This moisturiser is an ultra-hydrating formula which is enriched with L-Bifidus and Aloe Vera which helps sooth the skin and restore the moisture and natural skin quality. Everyone knows that aloe vera is full of vitamins and minerals which are hydrating properties.

3. Garnier Hand - Intensive 7 Days Hand Cream RESTORING. 

This hand cream is designed for dry and chapped hands. This hand cream has L-Bifidus and Shea Butter to help intensively replenish hands with moisture making them feel supple and soft. 

All the hand products above I would recommend to anyone this is due to the pure fact that it all of them help me maintain and care for my skin and nails. 

All the products above are so good that I can't put into words how good they are. I LOVE them all! Hope you enjoyed and if you have got your own skin care products that you use that you want to share then please leave a comment below. 

Until next time!

Well That's September

September has been a jam packed month. I launched my blog, which launched on the 18th of September. I spent a couple of days creating blogs and coming up with ideas for the future blogs. 

As I say, I'm just a girl with a camera and a laptop, writing about things that interest myself and hopefully you guys as my readers. I would love to know anyones feedback about my blog, how I can improve it.

Tristan and I went and saw Hitman: Agent 47 at the beginning of the month as a date night and all I'm going to say is that its a fantastic. I haven't seen the old hitman movie and I was told by friends that, that one wasn't very good. So I was very optimistic about this movie but this one is brilliant. I think they have left it on an ending where they can take the movie in so many different angles. If they are making a sequel to this movie I will definitely will be see it.

This month has also included a week off from work. Where my other half and I have packed as much as we could into it. It started off with a relaxing day where Tristan took me out for breakfast and lunch and a relaxing evening walk. 

We tried a new restaurant that we haven't used before, in Wateringbury, Kent, it's apart of the Chef and Brewer chain. When we got there it was very quiet, there was only a few people in the restaurant. For lunch and I had a pulled pork sandwich served with chips and no word of a lie, I think my sandwich was like 2 to 3 inches thick. The sandwiches we had were made with freshly cooked bread which they had cut thickly. Tristan orders a chicken and bacon sandwich which looked just a nice as mine. I will definitely be going back there and I would recommend it to anyone who lives locally to it or is visiting the area.

We also went out clubbing into Rochester for my brothers birthday on the Saturday. We also when to Colchester Zoo which is over 160 mile round trip away. Where I got to feed the animals whilst there and managed to get this brilliant goat selfie.

We also celebrated my mum's 60th birthday with her after she came back from Germany. She's a amazing woman with so much wisdom. As I say your mum is also the woman you look up to in life no matter what.

We also went and saw American Ultra in the cinema. I absolutely loved this film, it has a brilliant story line which held my attention for the length of the movie. I can't get over the fact that Mike which is the character that Jesse Eisenberg, killed someone with a spoon. Eisenberg plays the character so well. I would recommend anyone to go and see it or get it on DVD when it comes out. 

We spent the last couple of days of our holiday relaxing playing xbox and watching movies because of the fact that I came down with a snotty cold which made me just want to stay in bed.

The 25th was payday for us, so Tristan took me out for dinner. We always do something the night of payday, whether it's cinema or dinner. We went back to the Chef and Brewer in Wateringbury which we first tried whilst we were on holiday but went for dinner. The food of a evening is amazing! I must say it was so fulfilling and tasted fantastic. Both Tristan and I ordered the Rib and Pulled Pork for main and I haven't been more shocked about the size of meal before until now. The rib was massive, I do have a photo but it isn't the best quality considering it was bad lighting and I was trying to take the photo on the sly. This meal was fantastic I would order this again and recommend it to anyone. The meal was served with sweet potato fries, sweetcorn and salad.  

It looks dry in the photo, but it had been slow cooked for 8 hours and was so juicy and tender.

Tristan and I went out with 15 friends from work for dinner at the Buddha Belly which is located in Maidstone. Buddha Belly is a restaurant which is a buffet style restaurant that supplies food that is from Europe all the way to the far east. It's a pick and mix buffet which I loved, they have something for everyone. I'm not one for hot spices so I stayed cleared of the Indian food. It was amazing, I would recommend it to anyone. It was £15.95 per person for all you can eat, which is a good price.

I decided to play around with my hair one day and I remembered watching Zoella's tutorial on how to do Half Up-do Top Knot. So I decided to have ago and rock this look whilst out shopping and doing old jobs. I think it's a good hair do for casual day out as well as for going out in the evening.  

Well that's everything for this month, it has been brilliant I've throughly enjoyed this month and can't wait for October to begin. Let me know what you've been doing this month down below! Until next time.. 

Lego Land : Jurassic World Review

After putting up with weeks/months of Tristan talking about Jurassic World after seeing it in the cinema as well as him watching multiple programs to do with dinosaurs. Not at least downloading the game into his phone, I decided to purchase the Lego Movie Jurassic World edition for him for his Xbox One.

I've actually sat and played this with Tristan and it's really good. Considering that the game is designed for 7 year olds and upwards it had Tristan (22) and me (20) gripped to it for a few days! We've completed the campaign and now collect all the different people.

The game is based on all 4 Jurassic movies which I thought was a bloody good idea. The way they have linked each section to the next is good. Plus watching the movies over the years it's nice to see them put into gaming form.

I enjoyed the fact that through out the game up done activities that occurred in every movie. For instance in the Jurassic world movie there's the scene of where the kids are in the pods in the field and you can reenact this in the game. As well you can unlock a large amount of the character from all the movies. The dialog of the movies were included within the game, which was an added touch because Tristan is a fan and he thought it was amazing and we were both surprised that it was included within the movies.

I'm not one for usually sitting there attached to the TV screen via a games console but this one kept my attention and I didn't get bored. It's a typical Lego movie style game where only curtain characters can do certain task through out the game.

I would recommend this game to anyone who has kids or just wants to lose themselves in the world of lego and Jurassic World!

See you soon..

Clean & Clear Morning Energy Skin Care Review

Clean & Clear are well known for there skin care products and this product is just a dime in their skin care collection. This duo has a facial scrub and wash, which is a beneficial feature considering that I personally use the wash as a everyday use and the scrub every other day just before going to bed.

Morning Energy Facial Wash (On The Left) | Morning Energy Facial Scrub (On The Right) 

This duo of the Clean&Clean collection has been designed for Oily skin and it has no oil within the solution. There are bursting beads within the solution that will gently exfoliate the skin to help lift dirt and revealing fresh clean skin. The added vitamin C with Ginseng helps nourish the skin and helps freshen the skin. The Fragrance is one of a citrus smell which is refreshing and awakens the skin.

The Clean&Clear Morning Energy Wash & Scrub both cost £4 each which is slightly expensive but well worth the cost. The bottle size is 150ml which is a fairly good size and last myself around 8 weeks or more which when you think of it £8 every 8 weeks isn't too bad.

I personally use this product within the hotter months of the year because of hot and sweaty I can get due to the type of work I do. Also the smell is fruity which is just prefect for that time of year.

I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone who has skin problems or not. I suffer with blemishes and spots which is kept under control by using this product. My skin isn't trouble and bad however it can flare up at times.

Until Next Time..

Scented Sunday's #1

Hey guys! Scented Sundays is something that I would love to make a regular occurrence upon my new blog. Hmmm what is scented Sunday's all about I my hear you ask. It's where I will let you guys know what scents are filling my home. These will range from candles, air fresheners. reed diffusers and anything else.

Yankee Candles is amazingly beautiful candle producing company that I have ever found. Yankee Candle have such a large range of candles in different sizes such as; large, medium, small jars, tealights, votives, pillar candles and wax melts. 

This candle has such a strong fragrances which is what I love because you can light the candle and it will fill the room within its smell within around 10 minutes. The candle is burn for around 30-40 hours. 

Yankee Candle Black Coconut - Small Pillar 

I must admit that Yankee Candle aren't the must purse friend candles out there however you are paying for the quality of the fragrances and the candles. For the small pillar in the picture above it costs £9.95 for that candle.  

I do love the smell of coconut and I found that this one isn't too over powering, its amazing! It's quiet a mild smell in my opinion which is just prefect to have burning away during the day or evening. 

I hope you enjoyed this. Please leave a comment below about your favourite Yankee Candle or the name of any candles you guys think I should try myself!

Until next time..

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

Lashes, lashes, lashes, there something that we all have and I personally want mine to be long thicker and fuller. Whilst browsing the shelving of my local boots store, I found this little beauty. The metallic pink packaging is what caught my eye as well as the massive display that they had at the end of the aisle. 

I've heard a lot about this product from other bloggers and vloggers on the internet when they are doing there make up tutorials or reviews. So I thought I just have to get it for myself. I can state enough how good this product is. The product makes my eye lashes look fantastic and I don't have to use as much of this product to get an effect that other mascaras weren't giving me. The product is selling within Boots for £7.99, which is a very purse friendly in my eye for such a high quality product. 

The brush is brilliant, it gets all the tiny eye lashes that other mascaras struggle to get. This mascara must of be good if it was the Official Mascara of London Fashion Week. 

I love this product! I personally can't get enough of it and its amazing results. If you haven't got it, you need to get it. 

Until next time..
