TOP FIVE SKINCARE HEROES OF 2015

If I had to choose between make up and skincare, I'd choose skincare every time. I'd rather spend more time looking after my skin so that I can spend less time applying make up. I'm yet to find the perfect skincare routine for me, but at the moment I have some products which I'm really enjoying using - so I thought I'd share them with you.

MY TOP 3 BOOKS OF 2015

There really is nothing better than getting lost in a good book. Since I was little, I've always loved to read, but for a couple of years I seemed to go through a phase where I was reading less and less. Very disappointed in myself, I made a New Years resolution for 2015 to make the time for reading and I feel like I've done pretty well - at least I have succeeded at one of my resolutions! This year I have read books that have made me laugh, cry and some that I never wanted to end. I'm always looking for book recommendations, so I thought that I would share with you my top 3 books I have read this year.

DIGITAL DETOX

If we're honest with ourselves, I think the majority of us are guilty of spending too much time staring at our phones. For me, checking my phone and social media became a habit rather than something I was enjoying. Don't get me wrong, I love Instagram, but after aimlessly scrolling for hours seeing each new picture as it was posted, I really wasn't getting any enjoyment out of it.

OCTOBER FAVOURITES

I can't quite believe that October has already come and gone and I'm already buying Christmas presents, eek! Not that I'm complaining, I'm so excited for Christmas this year, it'll be the first Christmas that I'm not at work for three years and I plan on making the most of it - which will probably mean eating far too much food and watching as many Christmas films as possible! I'm getting a little ahead of myself here - can you tell I'm excited?! - so for now let's calm down and talk about what I was loving in the month of October.
