Declutter Your Bathroom - My Current Top Bathroom Essentials 2016 | Beauty.

It wasn't until moving day I came to realise just how much stuff I had acquired in my bathroom. I had so many half used bottles of shampoos, conditioners, hair serums, body creams, hair mousses and the list goes on! I even had products I know I had bought well over 3 years ago that I just thought 'I'll keep that because I never know when I will need it'. It doesn't help a lot of the stuff was handed down to me from my mum but I never got round to using everything/finishing it off because more and more kept piling up. I would often also get half way through something before wanting to try something else which resulted in half used bottles laying around taking up space.

My first step to de-cluttering was to throw anything away that was at least 1 years old. Even if it was somewhat new. Have you ever looked at the back of a beauty product and noticed a small tub like symbol that has a number in it, usually there is a 12M or 24M? Well, that number is I guess what you could call an expiry date and the M is months. That little number is telling you when you need to have used the product by or have thrown away. So, that is the first step you need to take to decluttering- just bin it if it's old. If you haven't used it by now you're not going to so stop telling yourself you will. 

Hello Autumn.

You've had your summer holiday, you've worn shorts and skirts, lived in flip flops and complained about being too hot. But then all of sudden the temperature drops, there is a smell in the air and it's the most wonderful time of the year. For me Autumn is all about those cold days, long chilly walks, bobble hats and scarves, coats (my winter obsession), endless hot drinks, Halloween, my birthday, bonfire night, lazy days whilst it rains outside, crunchy leaves, dark nail polish, berry lipstick, boots, cosy knit jumpers, oh my word the list goes on but I am all about Autumn. Then the lead onto Winter, when it becomes all about red nail polish, red lips, Christmassy outfits, lush bubble baths, endless Christmas films and Christmas music on repeat, mulled wine, Christmas markets and present shopping for the people you love. oohhh my I'm just too excited!!!

I am a sucker for photography when it comes to Autumn. I just had to start off Autumn with some images I took outside I couldn't help myself it just looked so pretty.

My Weekend In Photo's | Lifestyle.

Being our (Alex and I) first weekend together in forever we wanted to make the most of having two whole days together. As nice as it is to chill out and have duvet days it's so much better going out because it's rare we get the time. 

On Saturday 15th October after booking our weekend away to Bruges for my birthday in November (woooo!!) we decided on the Devil's Punch bowl for a long walk.

Sunday Fun Day In The New Forest | Lifestyle.

Having a day off together is very rare for Alex and I so when they do come around we love to make the most of them. We decided on this very fine Sunday that we would go to the New Forest as we haven't actually been together. We woke up early enough to make the most of the day but late enough to call it a lye in. Listening to music and getting ready we headed out around midday. The sun was shining and the temperature was lovely. Firstly we stopped in a small little town called Lyndhurst. We strolled around and then stopped for some lunch at The Greenwood Tree. We had bacon and brie panini's and a scone with cream and jam each. 

Feeling very full we then drove into the New Forest. We stopped off at the side of the road and wondered off onto the green where we saw plenty of horses. It's so amazing to be surrounded by animals that's not at a zoo or something similar. We drove on and ended up stopping again this time to walk around a wood. We jumped, ran and skipped, climbed trees and kicked pine cones to each other. I felt like a child again and it was so fun. Carrying on our drive we stopped at the side of the road to look at some donkeys when one came over and stuck his head into the window. It was hilarious and I loved every moment because I love donkey's. We had one more pit stop at Pig Bush for one last walk before heading home. It was such a great day and I would recommend the New Forest to anyone who just wants a lovely day out that consists of nature, a good walk for exercise and the animals really do make it something that more spectacular. Not to mention priceless.
