Not believing in yourself? Giving up?

I for one know what it feels like to not believe in yourself and hit the back seat. Do you ever get those days where you take a look and you ask yourself, if they can do it.. why can't I? 

We are coming up to a new year, new begins, fresh starts, new dreams, goals and aspirations. perfect time to start whatever it is you want to do, right? Well why not start now? 


I woke up today before anyone else was up, made myself some yummy hot chocolate, wore some fuzzy socks and snuggled downstairs on the sofa with some blankets and began to think. Am I truly happy? I asked myself. What is it I really want? I questioned. Where do I see myself in 2 years, furthermore .. where do I want to see myself in 2 years? 


I had many thoughts and voices going around in my head. I was so angry at myself, I realised how lazy I had got, or maybe not so much lazy maybe I had lost all faith in myself and had just given up?

Soo.. I jumped up of the sofa and told myself, " I'm going to do it, No giving up" Whatever it is I have to do to fulfil my dreams and be where I want to be I knew that I had to give 100% not saying I never did, but this time, no giving up. I reminded myself that everybody started somewhere, And that somewhere for me was today.  

I felt inspired in so many ways. and here I am, I want you to never give up, push yourself always, sometimes when you think you are ready, you're not, and it takes sometime.. But.. when you  know.. you know! 


I also felt inspired in other ways today.. I baked a wholegrain multi-seed loaf. Fresh out the oven, topped with some butter and Marmite.. and Oh wow. 


Here's a picture of my loaf fresh out the oven… may not look the prettiest but tasted the yummiest! Let me know if you would like the recipe to try the bread for yourself <3

January Favourites: Skin Care Products/Review


The part I love the most about January and am guilty of doing the same every year, is splurging out on skin care and beauty products, to help kick off my new year with a new skin routine and change. However some would disagree and say its just another excuse for me to shop….and they are most probably somewhat right! Here are a few products that got me.






One of my all time loved and trusted brands for skin care is La Roche-Posay. Need I say more?


Two of their products that stood out for me this month as hard as it is too choose, were; 

Gommage Surfin Physiologique

This particular fine scrub is from their Physiological product line. Its basically a series of cleansers that are specially formulated to purify and smooth sensitive skin at the same time not causing damage to its physiological balance.  

Most La Roche-Posay products are free of soap, paraben, colorants and alcohol. My skin doesn't do too well with products that contain alcohol and thats why I find myself constantly returning to of La Roche-Posay. on top of all their amazingness in a bottle found in their Physiological line, they are pH balanced and  contain their very own thermal spring water to soothe the skin for optimal tolerance. 


This scrub is very soothing and very fine. It has a cooling effect on the skin, I personally love this in a scrub, it wakes my skin up, especially after a long day!  This scrub was not rough on the skin and did not have too many beads as sometimes I can find this overwhelming in a face scrub! Theres a luxurious feel to the product when in the exfoliating process, not much product is needed, remember, less is more. 






Nutritic Intense Riche 


An exciting element to this product is that its the first moisturiser from La Roche- Posay to come in a glass jar.   I myself am an OCD freak and hygiene obsessed, hence why I try to stay far away from products that come in jars and pots; However I just couldn't resist this one. I'm the kind of girl that hates to change her face cream as it always ends up in a disaster. La Roche-Posay is usually kind to my skin, so I knew I had nothing to worry about.



This cream has a very thick constancy. With this one, a little really does go a long way.  When applying the cream to your face, it feels very light, cool and fresh. It easily absorbs in to your skin, doesn't leave that sticky feeling and smells great! I like to use this cream at night as a mask, the feeling of the morning after is just priceless. Try it, you won't regret it!



Bioderma Crealine H2O - 25 Dermatological Wipes


We all get those lazy nights where we just want to jump in bed and avoid the whole make up removal routine. Me myself I am a sucker for face wipes, I love them! However, I've tried some that just weren't doing the job, some that were too wet for my liking, some that were over priced and how could I forget about the ones that left my face lovely and dry!?  A few years ago when I was in Paris stocking up in a pharmacy on my very much loved Bioderma H2O Micelle Solution. I noticed they had a face wipe version that contained the same solution but on easy to use towelettes. Not the cheapest out there; but worth every penny, They leave your face feeling so fresh.One towelette can clean my entire face, for me this is shocking as i was so used to using 2-3 in one go. Just like the very raved about Bioderma H2O, these wipes are magic, since then, I have not used any other wipes for my face but these. <3
