A kick start for a Healthy Lifestyle

Recently I have chosen to stop being as lazy and start a new healthier lifestyle.

I used to dance all the time but since starting uni and having a part time job it was hard balancing everything. Anyway I decided its time I started concentrating on involving fitness and healthy eating  within my daily routine.

Whilst searching online I decided to have a look at Holland and Barrett. 

There was a penny sale on so basically I bought one product and got the other one for a penny. So worth it! The penny sale is still on at the moment so if you go to their website you can have a look at all the differant items available. I purchased these products for a kick start because I have heard a lot of great things about them. 

Most people have heard about green tea and all the benefits you gain from drinking it. Shocking to some I don't drink tea, most of my friends constantly drink tea but the only time I've ever had tea is if I'm dipping biscuits in it. Not saying I would never try green tea, I might  really like it but when I noticed the Super green tea tablets I thought they where deffinetly worth a try. 

Along with healthy eating and exercise these tablets work perfectly! I drink a full glass of water twice a day for best results! I believe that they really give me a boost without needing to drink a lot of tea like I know most people do. So if you want to try green tea but don't like how it tastes then you should definitely give this a try.

I chose to purchase Aloe Vera Juice in the flavour cranberry. I love cranberry juice so I was instantly attracted. You can buy an unflavoured version but I personally prefer this. I have been drinking Aloe Vera juice for just over a month and I have noticed such a difference! I feel better in myself, I have more energy and my hair and skin probably looks the so healthy! This is something I will be purchasing again!

You can choose to either mix a table spoon with a glass of water or just have a spoon full alone, it is recommended to do this 1-3 times a day.

One of the reasons I get excited to go the gym is because I can wear my Nike Roshe trainers. That might sound stupid but they are new and I love new shoes! Plus they are so comfortable and I feel like I am making use out of them by wearing them for the gym. I chose to go with black, just a small hint of grey because they looked a little different. They go with everything! So whatever I wear for the gym I know I can slip these on and they will always look good!

Little 3 for 2 Trip to Boots

Hello everyone! 

Just a quick post this morning about my little trip to boots yesterday. For those of you who are unfamiliar boots is a really popular drug store here in England. The majority of make up, skin care and hair care essentials can be found in boots and that is why I love it so much!

So here is everything I picked up during my little shopping trip. Boots had a 3 for 2 offer on yesterday and as many of you probably know this is like a dream for a beauty blogger! With so much to choose from it was hard to only pick up a few items, but well here they are! Also a quick mention how cute does the Venus snap razor look! So small, perfect for travelling. I can't wait to try it out! It is currently now on offer for £4.99 rather then £9.99 so go and get yourself one girls!

I am SO happy to finally get my hands on Lid Stuff! I have heard so many good things about it and have been wanting to try it for so long now. I purchased the What's Nude palette because I just think it will work perfect for my everyday look. It was also the last one in store, so it was just meant to be! I can't wait to try out all of these products and look forward to writing reviews on what I think of them in my upcoming blog posts!

Sensitive skin say YES to cucumbers!

A while ago, I heard about the brand 'Yes to carrots' whilst browsing online. Through looking into the brand further I came across their range 'Yes to cucumbers'. The range has received so much positive feedback that I found it impossible not to want to try it for myself. 

The brand uses all natural products such as Organic cucumbers, Green tea and Aloe Vera. The products are also Petroleum, SLS and Paraben free as well as Cruelty free. Basically a really cool organic company :) 

I received a £10 boots gift card at christmas, how I did not spend my gift card until now? I do not know. Anyway I finally decided to go into boots and spend it on the Yes to cucumbers products. The products I decided to try out were the Yes to cucumbers hypoallergenic facial towelettes and the Yes to cucumbers daily gel cleanser.

For starters how cute is the packaging of this product! Its just such a simple design yet it manages to really stand out on the shelves and looks so pretty. The first amazing thing about these facial wipes is the smell! Oh my god, it is so lovely! even before using the wipes it gives off a clean effect in itself. The only way I can describe it is fresh like cucumbers.. Ironic? The wipes are also incredibly soft, and even though they are so soft they still manage to easily remove any face make up with no hesitation. The only thing I have trouble with is removing mascara,  I always find it hard to remove mascara and find myself looking for a million different ways to get it completely off.

To sum these make up wipes up I REALLY like them. My skin feels fresh and clean after using them, There is also a kind off cold sense on my face its as if the wipes have been in a fridge before being opened, I find this really nice as it makes them feel just that extra bit fresh against skin.

Moving on ... At first I was slightly hesitant to buy this because it did not stand out to me as much as other products. However it was the last one on the shelf.. so I couldn't not buy it! My first opinion was once again the smell of it, wow. I can see Yes to cucumber becoming one of my favourite ranges just because I love the smell so much. The actual product is very watery, and in my hands it felt like it wasn't going to last very long before the whole thing was used up. However I was wrong, a little bit of this product goes a long way. 

I suffer from sensitive skin and so far this cleanser has worked perfect for me. It does not give me break outs it gives my skin a deep clean and leaves my face feeling super smooth. This product for me works best when I apply my moisturiser after use, the moisturiser I am currently using is Simple hydrating light moisturiser (another sensitive skin friendly product). I will defiantly be purchasing this cleanser again once I have ran out!

Products mentioned:

Yes to cucumbers hypoallergenic facial towelettes £3.99 

Yes to cucumbers daily gel cleanser £6.99 

Simple hydrating light moisturiser £4.50

I want to try out some more Yes to products and I plan on writing some future reviews on the range. Let me know in the comments if you have any suggestions on what to try next?
