<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello hello, and happy March everyone! Can we just take a moment to think about the fact that it is March... MARCH sorry, where did the last 2 months go?! February has been a brilliant month for me so I hope it's been a good one for you too and that you've all had a wonderful Valentines day or Galentine's day! My lovely lover surprised me on Valentine's day with a homemade voucher to the Harry Potter Studios! I'm definitely thinking of saving this one for November when it's all Christmassy. Come to think of it </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">February was a pretty busy one for me which I'm guessing is why it went by in such a flash so without further ado lets get into Feb.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first weekend of the month was brilliant as we had a wonderful downpour of snow! It was soo beautiful and it just so happened to fall around Alex's birthday. We celebrated his birthday on the 2nd where I surprised him with a meal to our favourite restaurant <a href="https://dimt.co.uk/restaurant/winchester/" target="_blank">Dim T</a>. I also got him for his birthday a surprise trip to Budapest! We had been before but definitely not done the place any justice so that was an exciting trip to look forward to. We just had the best start to February and it was such a wonderful weekend.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The following weekend we were off on our holibobs to Budapest but before that Alex, his rents and I went to <a href="https://www.phocafe.co.uk/" target="_blank">Pho</a> for a belated birthday lunch for Al. We absolutely love Pho and it was so nice to take Alex's parents to experience it. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEzcB_7eNUdDto60nUi8IHD66U7alJRufxpfK19JSJNnt8EMbqDG-d5YCcPDm5LXjg6w7EqsCLNMLr6QlR1zrm0tq4RswhgQUCbi2v2pQx66qElrk7Zvq2fW726vyp-3mogBJzEFzry7U/s1600/IMG_5051.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEzcB_7eNUdDto60nUi8IHD66U7alJRufxpfK19JSJNnt8EMbqDG-d5YCcPDm5LXjg6w7EqsCLNMLr6QlR1zrm0tq4RswhgQUCbi2v2pQx66qElrk7Zvq2fW726vyp-3mogBJzEFzry7U/s640/IMG_5051.jpg" width="480" /></a></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also treated myself to a shellac mani. Now, this is a treat I would like to get every month if possible. Nothing makes me feel like a pampered princess more than when I have my nails done and because they're quite weak it's nice to get gels to help them grow. Also, let's face it, girls, nothing is more annoying than chipped nail polish. Then we were off to Buda on the 10th-14th and I'll leave a link <a href="https://sadeann.blogspot.com/2019/02/how-to-make-most-of-3-days-in-budapest_24.html" target="_blank">here</a> where you can check out my post on Budapest.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The third weekend into Feb I finally did something that I've been meaning to do for years now and that was to open a credit card! This is been on my to-do list for far too long now! Ever since I started my first bullet journal back in January I've found myself to be so much more organised. I now write down absolutely everything that I think of and slowly but surely I start ticking things off from that 'never happens' list. You know the one ladies and gentlemen, the list of stuff that gets put on the back burner for forever. Yeah, well now I finally have one. I made the appointment I went in and it's done hurray!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another one of those annoying to do things that never happens because you think 'oh I'll do that another time' got ticked off and that was to see a dermatologist. For so many months, even years I've put this off. It was such a chore finding the right person and actually even just affording it. Dermatologists are so expensive but now that I'm no longer paying off my Invisalign I can start to afford monthly treatments. I found a lovely lady in Ropley and so I've had my first consultation. The next step is the first treatment which begins in April so I'm very excited about that (my bank account isn't though).</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And finallyyyy we're onto purchases made in February. We all know how amazing it feels when you've got new bits on the way. I know I certainly love the feeling of new items. Let's get the least exciting bits out of the way first - Protein and BCAA's. I started my fitness journey in October of last year. I wanted to settle in before buying anything new for the gym and to also make sure I wasn't going to give up on it. Now that I've been going for 5 months I knew it was time to buy some protein. It's not the most delicious thing in the world but here's to the gainz!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Onto more exciting things,</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">iPad- I actually won a brand new iPad at work. It was raffled off for £200 (RRP £400) so I knew it would be stupid not to enter and I won! I never win anything so I was buzzing and yes okay I still had to pay £200 BUT it is a brand new 2019 iPad.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mango items- I ordered x2 new jumpers from Mango. This <a href="https://shop.mango.com/gb/women/t-shirts-and-tops-long-sleeve/ribbed-t-shirt_43043758.html?c=50&n=1&s=search" target="_blank">one</a> and this <a href="https://shop.mango.com/gb/women/cardigans-and-sweaters-sweaters/recycled-polyester-sweater_43040600.html?c=05&n=1&s=search" target="_blank">one</a>. I'm obsessed with Mango I make at least one order a month.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Asos items- From Asos I got myself a new <a href="https://www.asos.com/asos-petite/asos-design-petite-denim-button-through-v-neck-mini-pinifore-dress/prd/10945520?clr=washed-black&SearchQuery=denim%20pinafore%20dress&gridcolumn=1&gridrow=4&gridsize=4&pge=1&pgesize=72&totalstyles=40" target="_blank">denim pinafore dress</a> perfect for the transitioning seasons. I love pinafores with a turtle neck and boots. I also picked up a simple <a href="https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-slim-t-shirt-with-long-sleeve-in-white/prd/10903775?ctaRef=my%20orders" target="_blank">white top</a> for every day wear especially with mom jeans.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tickets to All Points East. As soon as we saw 'Mumford and Son's' we knew it had to be done so we ordered our tickets to the day festival <a href="https://www.allpointseastfestival.com/" target="_blank">All Points East</a>. We went last year and it's such a lovely day out listening to music, chilling, drinking and eating yummy food.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tickets to The London Coffee Festival - We bloody love coffee and as soon as I saw this was even a thing we were straight on it. I'm really intrigued by this <a href="https://www.londoncoffeefestival.com/" target="_blank">festival</a> because it'll either be really average or really interesting. Either way, it's not too expensive and it'll be a great day out so we're looking forward to that at the end of March.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wireless, Bluetooth earphones- I picked up some new<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BMV5T2N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank"> earphones</a> for the gym. My phone was driving me mad as I had nowhere to put it whilst it was connected to earphones. So I made the order I had been putting off and my workouts haven't been the same! I have no distractions now.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>TV favourites.</u></b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Inbetweeners</b> - throwback! Alex and I had this on in the background in Budapest as the TV had Netflix. I had forgotten just how funny they are. We ended up watching all 3 seasons and then again once back home. Unfortunately, we don't have the movies but we definitely would have watched them too. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Ted Bundy tapes. </b>If you haven't seen these please do! There are only 4 episodes but you'll find yourself hooked from the start. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think that's about it for now! February was a fab month for me I really enjoyed it! I hope you all have a wonderful March and I'll speak to you soon.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you’re asking yourself, “is 3 days enough time to spend in Budapest?”, the answer, in</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">short, is probably no. However, you can totally see everything you <u>need</u> to see within 3 days!</span><br />

<br />
<div style="line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The abundance of ancient architecture, delicious cuisines, beautiful views from the hillside, and friendly locals by the end of my visit, it was up there with my top favourite cities in the world. Trust me, you will fall in love with Budapest like I have. Which is funny because I visited back in 2014 and felt completely different! I was only there for 1/2 a day and was definitely staying in a strange area which left me disliking Budapest. I am soo glad I decided to pay another visit and truly allow Budapest to change my mind. There’s so much character to the city and so much to do it really does cater to every traveller.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Getting into Budapest city centre from the Airport.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We were staying in an Airbnb, so our wonderful host sorted our transfers for us. As we would be arriving at 8 pm, we didn't want the hassle of using buses or any type of public transport so we opted for a taxi. The cost of this was 9,000HUF/29EUR/25GBP, however, if you're on a budget there is an alternative: at the airport take the bus number '100E'. Get off at Astoria station (2nd stop, takes about 40-50 minutes) that'll take you to just outside the Inner City. Our taxi was a lot quicker than this roughly about 30 minutes but I'm sure twice the price.</span><br />

As it gets busier it does get more difficult to use the facilities. We were in a steam room at one point and where there were so many people coming in they were having to stand. I would also allow a lot of time to be here as there are many different pools, steam rooms, plunge pools and saunas. You could easily spend 4-5 hours here although we found 3 hours to be sufficient for us. We hired a cabin for 6,000 HUF/19EUR/17GBP although you can hire the changing rooms/locker for less! The cabin was great though because you can change and leave your belongings in there.</span><br />

You can get the funicular up to Buda castle for 1,200HUF/4EUR/£3.30 (single) or 1,800 HUF/6EUR/£5 (return) or you can walk up. We decided not to as we did it last time but I would recommend it for the experience. Chain bridge you'll see on your way to Buda castle/Fisherman's Bastion as you have to walk over it.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Make sure to visit at least one ruin bar during your stay. Budapest is renowned for them and they really are awesome. We went to Szimpla Kert (as it was near to where we were staying) which is the mecca of all ruin bars. The ruin bars are built in the ruins of abandoned buildings making them incredibly cool to wander around. The walls are covered in art and graffiti so make sure to grab yourselves a drink and wander around the entire building.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is an abundance of choice and variety in Budapest making it so difficult on where to pick. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My top places would have to be:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Vin Vin. Vietnamese street food and incredible at that.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fat Mama. We actually ate here two nights running. Once by accident because we were actually after Street food Karavan which was shut until March boo. But the second time because we actually loved the food. If you like smoked BBQ food you'll love it here.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fresh Corner. We had a really lovely breakfast here on our way to Buda castle. Try the coffee syrups, brownie and/or pistachio - they're so good.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Crudo bakery. I wouldn't say the food here was groundbreaking. It was more of a convenience pit stop for the area we were in HOWEVER if you like cheesecake you <u>have</u> to go here! It was seriously so good! It also had a different texture to the usual kind and had a burnt outer so it looked different but yes, go and try it!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Chimney cake. You cannot leave Budapest without trying a chimney cake. You can get them filled or just have it as is. They're really nice and surprisingly quite light. We tried the vanilla and the cinnamon. I recommend the cinnamon.</span></li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lángosh. I don't even know where to start with this. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lángos is a Hungarian food speciality, a deep-fried dough. Yes, you heard and so unreal! We had ours with sour cream and garlic on top and if it weren't for the fact I was so full I could have eaten another two more.</span></li>

<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Iran Cukrászda. If you have a love for baklava or anything sticky sweet you have to try the treats from here. We ended up going back twice! Note the circular treat (kinda looks like a doughnut) that is my number one must try treat from there! It's pretty much dripping in honey. The owner is incredibly lovely, such a nice man and on both occasions gave us a free treat to try.</span></li>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">We were staying near the Synagogue so we did manage to see it although didn't go inside as it wasn't really on our agenda. If you wish to go in I believe it'll cost you 4500 HUF/14EUR/12GBP.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although on our list we never actually found the time to go to one. We were always either too full from breakfast or lunch or were too busy elsewhere. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The most famous grand cafe in Budapest is New York Palace. Others include Alexandra Book Cafe, Ruszwurm, Cafe Gerbeaud and Callas Cafe.</span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In all honesty, we probably couldn't give you an exact figure as you could end up doing more, eating more or spending more time in a ruin bar. We took £380 for both us for four nights and three full days and this was too much money! We found ourselves trying to spend like crazy on the last day, even buying a VERY expensive lunch in the airport and still coming home with money to exchange. What I will say is that Budapest is relatively cheap so once you've budgeted around what you want to see and do, you'll have a better idea on how much to take.</span><br />

Let me know your favourite parts of Budapest. I'm sure I will return one day!</span><br />

January didn't feel at all slow to me which is a first.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Welcome to my first monthly blog post of the year. Like I said in my <a href="https://sadeann.blogspot.com/2019/01/farewell-2018-lifestyle.html#more" target="_blank">Farewell 2018</a> post something I would like to start doing throughout 2019 is to document every month. I reckon I'll really thank myself for these at the end of the year when I get to look back at everything! And who knows- someone out there might even enjoy reading this! I know I love being nosey about other peoples favourites and what they've enjoyed through the months.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So without further ado let's get into it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>January favourites.</u></b></span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Getting back into a routine.</b> Don't get me wrong Christmas was wonderful, every day was different and it was good to do whatever I felt like. Having said that nothing beats starting the year afresh by getting back into that routine! Getting up at 7am weekdays and 9:30 weekends. I like to get up earlier at weekends so they feel longer. Getting back to the gym three times a week and working those muscles. Eating at the same times every day and eating well! Routine is dangerous but also a wonderful thing.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Spring clean.</b> I love getting up all the Christmas decorations but I equally as much love taking it all down. It's like a new start you know. Like a spring clean. Taking them all down, packing them all away and putting them back into the loft until next year. Giving the room a good clean of dust, removing the Christmas bedding and generally just tidying up all the piles of everything.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Dermol 500 and Treclin 1%.</b> I've been suffering yet again with acne for the past few months partially down to coming off the pill. My doctor prescribed me <a href="http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/dermol-500-lotion-500ml" target="_blank">Dermol 500</a> face wash, as well as <a href="https://www.theindependentpharmacy.co.uk/acne/treclin-gel" target="_blank">Treclin</a> 1%/0.025% and my skin, has cleared up by 90%. I've still got scarring and I still get breakouts but they're not half as bad or as frequent.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Lucy Watson's Chickpea Tikka Masala.</b> For as long as I can remember I've been trying to lead a healthier lifestyle. I cut dairy out of my diet about four/five years ago and only in the recent of years have I been trying to lower my meat intake. I'm not saying one day I'll be vegan but I would love to eat more of a plant-based diet as much as possible. This recipe is an absolute dream to make, it's very cheap and so tasty! Alex and I made a batch for dinner and used the rest for lunches at work. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Vietnamese coffees. </b>For Christmas, I bought Alex a traditional Vietnamese phin and Vietnamese coffee. We love Vietnamese coffee and it's something we really came to love during our trip there three ago. We recently discovered our love again at Pho during last summer and it was straight onto the Christmas list. He was thrilled on Christmas day and we haven't stopped drinking them.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The annual bonus at work.</b> I seriously work for the best company ever and I will be forever grateful. To even be able to say I got a bonus at work when I've been there for six months blows my mind.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>TV favourites.</u></b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Luther.</b> We are obsessed with Luther and this new series did not disappoint. It was something to look forward to every day after work.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Forest.</b> Following on from Luther we became obsessed with The Forest on Netflix. If you haven't seen it check it out. It's a French murder mystery with plenty of plot twists.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Sinner.</b> We watched the first season a few years back which we thoroughly enjoyed! When we saw the release of season two we were straight on it. I definitely preferred the first season but the second one was just as clever and enjoyable to watch.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Obsessive-compulsive Country House Cleaners.</b> SUCH a weird one I know but I cannot stop watching them!</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<b style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><u><span style="color: #444444;">What I enjoyed most.</span></u></b><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The least January of Januarys</b>. Something I have really enjoyed about January is how much it hasn't felt like January in comparison to last year. Last year's January felt too long like it was never going to end and I didn't feel rested from December. But I am actually really enjoying this January. It's good to be back at work, planning the year's adventures and just chilling really.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Starting a bullet journal.</b> I'd never considered doing this and I have no idea where the idea came from but I decided to start one and it's the best thing I ever did. All I ever find myself wanting to do is journal! Every weekend, every evening - I'm addicted. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>What I didn't enjoy.</u></b></span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>HP Sprocket.</b> This makes me so sad! I received the HP Sprocket 200 for Christmas from Alex. It had been on my wishlist for about three years and my lovely boyfriend decided to surprise me with one. The first photo I printed was very pink looking. It was a photo of us in France and we certainly were not pink. After contacting HP they sent me a replacement but I'm still not convinced by the colour and quality. Having seen other reviews I believe it's just to be expected with such a small printer. None the less I will still use it from time to time. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>My poorly Nanny.</b> The only scare we have had this month was my Nanny. She has sadly had cancer since last year March. She hasn't been particularly well this month and my Mum is currently with her taking care of her. It's so crap living so far away from her but we are going up in April for a week which I am so excited about.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>January treats.</u></b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>New bikinis.</b> Yes, bikinis in January but I always find now is the time to buy the ones you like because come summer they're all gone! I got two pairs of bottoms and two tops as I like to mix and match everything. That saves me a little money in the summer!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>A new shirt.</b> I bought a corduroy shirt from <a href="https://www.nastygal.com/gb/big-cord-and-beautiful-oversized-shirt/AGG84771.html" target="_blank">Nasty Gal </a>which I am obsessed with. The colour is beautiful, and I love the baggy style!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>A new tinted moisturiser.</b> I haven't worn foundation since last year July. I just hate the feeling of it on my skin but with my skin being in its current condition it takes me so long to get ready in the morning if I'm just using concealer. I picked up the <a href="https://www.lancome.co.uk/makeup/face/foundation/skin-feels-good-foundation/A00862-LAC.html" target="_blank">Lancome</a> Skin Feels Good foundation, and I just love it! </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well, I think that's all for now folks! Tell you what I've really enjoyed looking back over the past month. It hasn't been particularly eventful but it certainly has been relaxing with a smooth entrance to 2019. I'm feeling really grateful and happy. Now, I've got February to look forward to with plenty in store to keep me one happy bunny!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello! Welcome back to my blog and my first post of 2019. I cannot believe it's already 2019 and even more so cannot believe my last blog post was back in March. I'm usually quite good with keeping my blog up to date but it seems as if I've blinked and the year has disappeared.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Seeing as I didn't post what I got up to throughout the year 2018 let's have a little catch-up and see if I managed to meet any of the goals/aspirations I had planned. If you'd like too, you can catch up on what they were <a href="https://sadeann.blogspot.com/2018/01/farewell-2017-lifestyle.html" target="_blank">here</a>!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">How was 2018 for me? I have to say it was a pretty damn good year! I got to travel, see faraway family, do some pretty cool things in-between as well as have new beginnings like starting my new job. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So without further ado h</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ere are a few key moments of 2018.</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b> Finally booking a driving instructor. </b>One of my goals for 2018 was to end the year a confident driver. I've had my license for 6 years and have done very little driving. Now, I can't say I'm going to be the next Michael Schumacher, and I am still super nervous on the roads. However, I did manage to have three top-up driving lessons to which my instructor told me I was a wonderful driver and pretty much didn't need him anymore. Although I haven't driven since March, I've decided this is the year! If I can drive myself to work every morning which is only a 10-15 minute drive, I just know my confidence will skyrocket! It's a small goal and one I know I need to do. Watch this space...</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>All the food dates with Alex.</b> We are both big food lovers, and we don't often go out for meals. For some reason we just prefer not to and save the money for other things but having said that, there is something so lovely about going out for a meal. When it's not very often it feels so much more...special. We had some delicious dim sum for Alex's birthday in Feb, and it was so lovely to reminisce about Hong Kong. Looking back we just about managed to go out for a meal every month!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>ICELAND. </b>This beautiful country has ALWAYS been top of our list and I'm so pleased we finally went! We stayed in two stunning wooden cabins with hot tubs, and we hired a 4x4 (which you definitely need). We did so much driving around which pulled us out of our warm, cosy cabins but my they were always a joy to look forward to after a long day of sight-seeing. It reminded us so much of our favourite country New Zealand and I would totally go back! We visited the Blue Lagoon and if you're wondering if we saw the northern lights - hell yes we did! Talk about #blessed and we saw them two nights running. Once coming back from the Blue Lagoon and again from our hot tub - as well as a shooting star.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Celebrating our 9 year anniversary.</b> It still blows my mind that we've been together for this long. I never thought for one second the day I met Alex we'd still be together 9 years later. It just goes to show that when you're with the right person; time is forgotten. Alex treated me to a beautiful Astley Clarke bracelet and a voucher to walk alpacas in the summer (my favourite animal). He also surprised me with a meal to our favourite restaurant Kyoto's Kitchen. We also took a week off from work and went for a meal at Burley Manor in the New Forest. The food was stunning.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Scotland (twice), Norfolk and France. </b>Glorious holidays with Alex. We spent two weeks in Scotland seeing my grandma and my family. The weather was gorgeous for the entire duration and we got to have a lovely long break. We never take two weeks off from work and it was so lush. Staying in a yurt in Norfolk was incredible- the location was tranquil and we also went alpaca trekking. The best weekend I could have asked for. We also had a mini break to France and it was honestly a fairy tale - it looked like Belle's hometown.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Climbing Ben Lomond. </b>We love hiking and haven't done so since our travels three years ago. I think we managed to go on the hottest day ever so I literally couldn't breathe but wow it was so worth it.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>All the music gigs. </b>Ladysmith Black Mambazo; All Points East Festival and Fat Freddy's Drop - all fantastic to say the very least. I would love to start going to more music events. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Double dates with my brother and his girlfriend.</b> It was lovely to see them more often than usual throughout the year and eat yummy food.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Mum and Mark visit</b>. My mum and her partner Mark came down for a long weekend in October and it was lush, lush, lush. We took them to all our favourite pubs and had a delicious meal at the Giggling Squid for my birthday. It was such a lovely weekend to start the best season of the year. It felt so festive!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>My 26th birthday.</b> Brunch at The Ivy; Afternoon tea at The Waldorf; drinks in London, The Lion King in theatre; Bonfire night. Such a wonderful 'birthweek' and I was very spoiled!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Starting my new job.</b> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Déjà vu anyone? I seem to recall saying this exact thing in my last farewell blog post. Unfortunately, my time at House of Fraser had to come to an end. I wasn't enjoying my role anymore. I hated getting up at 5:30/6am every morning, getting home late, inconsistent working hours, no money, using £250 of my salary just to get to work and the stress of House of Fraser in general. There are many reasons why I left, reasons I won't go into because I did enjoy a lot of my time there but the negatives outweighed the positives. Now, I'm currently working A LOT closer to home, I get to wake at 7 am, have more money and I actually LOVE where I work. The people, the place just everything. I love it, love it, love it.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Finishing my Invisalign treatment.</b> It was originally meant to be for six months but that was always a guess. My treatment went on for about a year and I now no longer have to wear the brace during the day anymore. Yay. Although I will have to wear a brace every single night for the rest of my life.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>I came off the pill. </b>This may be a strange one but this is something I am going to talk more about in a future blog post. I stopped taking the pill (after being on it for 9 years) at the beginning of July and haven't gone back on since.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Finally starting the gym.</b> This may seem like a strange one to include but hear me out. My role at House of Fraser was very physical, so I never really needed the gym. I also had absolutely no time for the gym by the time I would get home. Now that I have a job which is very stationary and I finally have the time it had to be done. At the beginning of October Alex and I opened our gym memberships and can truthfully say we've managed to go three times a week since! We took Christmas off however, we are back to it now! I do enjoy it and I love knowing that with time my body will start to evolve and I cannot wait to see the results! Slow and steady wins the race. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>My first proper Christmas/ New Year in five years. </b>December was such an incredible month. So many meals out, staff dos, decorating the office, all the fizz, baking, wreath making, secret Santa, a trip to Bath Christmas market, pressie hunting/wrapping, all the laughs - I loved it. I have to say this has been one of the best December's in a long time. I think it comes down to the fact that going to work every day wasn't a chore. I loved going to work. The people I work with are the best. It was also my first full week off from work for Christmas/New year in five years! Alex and I spent Christmas Eve, Day and Boxing Day with his family. Then on the 27th, it was off to Scotland to spend a second Christmas with my family/New year with them. We had a wonderful time going to Edinburgh's Giant Lantern Festival and Glasgow Christmas markets. We welcomed in the New Year tucked away at home with my family watching films, fireworks and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. It was truly wonderful and on the plus side coming home knowing I had work the next day didn't phase me at all.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thanks 2018 - for all the laughs, fun, new beginnings, and happy memories. If there is one thing I want to do more of this year is stop living in the future. I know that sounds strange but I want to stop living for 'the next trip' or 'when we have a house'. I want to stop having the mentality of 'oh it'll be better when we have our own home' or 'I need a holiday to look forward to, to being happy.' I want to live for now but rather look <i>forward</i> to the future but be happy for today. Be happy for what I have today and not what I'll have in a year's time because in a year's time what I think will make me happy might not or might come with its own problems. But for right now I am thankful - thankful my family are healthy and still with me. Thankful I'm able to say I have all the time I need to save enough money to be able to afford a house as many aren't. Thankful to have a job I no longer look forward to leaving. Thankful I can save for a house whilst still being able to do what makes me happiest which is travelling. Here's to being thankful for what I have today and not what I will have in one year's time. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">-I would like to become a confident driver.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">-I would like to take part in a pottery course, even if it's for one day.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">-I would like to dabble in jewellery making. I've seen a couple of one-day courses that involve metal work and this is something I would love to try. It's always been a goal of mine to be self-employed one day and I can so see myself in a little shed making jewellery to sell online and at markets. I'm yet to figure out a hobby for myself that I love so pottery and jewellery work is first on the list.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">-Save a little money each month for a two week trip next January. At the moment it's looking like the Philippines but Australia has been calling my name since the day we left...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">-I want to visit my Nanny. She lives so far away and I miss her all the time. We made an effort to visit last year and I want to see her again this year. I don't want the years to go by and not have seen her.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">-I want to update my blog every month as like a monthly summary. I think it would be pretty cool to reach the end of the year and have a monthly update for every single month. Based on what I've done that month, treats I've had/bought and things I want to remember.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Well, I guess that's it for now. Pretty achievable if you ask me and that's what it's all about. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello, my name is Sade and I am addicted to buying clothes I don't need. No, this is not something I tell myself. This is often what I hear coming from the direction of my partner. In his defence, he's so true (not something I'll be admitting to him). But in my defence, I so do need 10 pairs of blue jeans in different shades of blue because certain colours go with certain tops and yes I need that top because it'll match these jeans...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Enough was enough so I made a deal with myself to ONLY have a treat month every other month. Then the months in between I can save all my money. To be fair I always put money aside every single month anyway. However... the deal was made worse when I said to Alex I'll make a bet with you that I don't spend any money until June! So here I am making this haul blog post as a way to... I guess remind myself of this months treats to stop the spending! To keep myself sane I'll be making blog posts of 'wish lists' so that come June if any of those items are available they're going straight in my basket!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I went through my jean collection to make a list of what I actually need. I say need ... what was missing from my wardrobe. Turns out I have a lot of light blue coloured jeans and most have ripped knees. I knew I definitely needed a darker shade and I wanted a smarter pair without the rips. I found these beauties on <a href="http://www.asos.com/asos/asos-design-ridley-high-waist-skinny-jeans-in-lisbeth-wash/prd/8618423?clr=midwashblue&SearchQuery=1147412&SearchRedirect=true" target="_blank">Asos</a> for only £28 and they're already my favourite pair. They're so flattering and I love that they fit my leg length perfectly!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, these I already own but let me explain. So, I purchased these jeans (£30 click <a href="http://www.asos.com/asos/asos-ridley-high-waist-skinny-jean-in-clean-black-with-ripped-knees/prd/8029931?clr=black&SearchQuery=1060863&SearchRedirect=true" target="_blank">here </a>for link) back in 2016 where they have actually featured in a previous haul <a href="https://sadeann.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/collective-haul-september.html" target="_blank">blog post</a>. They have lasted a fairly long time which I often find with Asos jeans but because I literally wear them to work every single day, they have faded, the rips have split further and they're starting to look very worn. Don't get me wrong I love that look in jeans but I wanted another pair just to wear when I want to look a little smarter. These are a true black compared to my old pair and I know they will last forever. I suppose I loved them so much I don't mind owning an identical pair.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This beautiful <a href="http://www.asos.com/asos/asos-design-denim-smock-dress-with-embroidery-in-midwash-blue/prd/9062145?clr=blue&SearchQuery=1208441&SearchRedirect=true" target="_blank">dress</a> £35, I couldn't resist. The colour is beautiful and I love the print down the chest. It's just a classic, timeless piece that I will own for a very long time and get a lot of wear out of. I love adding new dresses to my collection every year as I don't own that many.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also picked up the sandals I'm photographed wearing. I don't actually own a simple, tan coloured pair so I thought why not. I will get plenty of wear from these and they were only £16. They are 'wide' so they're a little too roomy for me but I don't mind.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Onto my absolute favourite item, I've bought this year. I have honestly wanted a pair of flares for months now! The problem being they weren't fashionable so I couldn't find a pair anywhere! Then all of a sudden they're everywhere and the choice is ever growing!! Originally I wanted a pair of paisley print, real boho looking flares (which I can't find anywhere) but then I spotted two girls wearing these from <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/skinny-ribbed-flares-4584048?bi=0&ps=20" target="_blank">Topshop</a> (£20). They are unbelievably flattering, so comfortable and they remind me a lot of the pair I had as a young girl- they were red with the same ribbed effect texture. I would highly recommend these I can't wait to wear them non stop in the summer! Black is the perfect colour too as you can pair them with any crop top.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am literally obsessed with this<a href="http://www.asos.com/missguided/missguided-flare-sleeve-stripe-cropped-jumper/prd/8462568?clr=multi&SearchQuery=1124816&SearchRedirect=true" target="_blank"> crop top</a>. I love the colour combination of orange and pink. It suits the Topshop flares beautifully and I can just see this being my summer go to crop. It'll go with anything from black jeans to blue jeans, white jeans, skirts, shorts and flares! I picked this up from Asos but it is technically from Missguided. I love!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I decided to buy this Chloe perfume after spraying myself every single day at work. I constantly had compliments about the scent and was told that it suited me a lot. Luckily, they were having a 15% off all fragrance one week and I receive 15% staff discount anyway so I managed to get this fragrance at a very affordable price. I never buy myself perfume and I only own about four anyway so it's a wonderful edition to my collection.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello, everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. It's been a really productive Saturday morning for me, the laundry is washed and drying, I cleaned and tidied my bedroom and finally did all those annoying little jobs that needed doing but I just kept putting off. It's currently snowing outside, I've got incense on the go with a real 'feel good' film on. It just seemed the perfect setting to sit down and do a catch up with my blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I guess one of the reasons I felt compelled to sit down and write this blog post is to maybe... remind myself of the positives in my life. Recently, I've been feeling more on the negative side. I seem to feel a little lost at the moment. I'm 25, always putting myself down for not 'earning enough money', I still don't have enough money saved for a house, I'm not fully working within a 'career', I've got no oomph to get up and go in the mornings. It seems all I do is push myself out of bed, crave the evenings and long for the weekends. <span style="background-color: #f1c232;">Enough is enough.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, it wouldn't be fair to say 2018 started off on a bad note because it didn't. It's just that nothing seemed really different. No progress had been made. No passion had come to surface. My life was...the same. Except for the fact I had the most exciting holiday to look forward to in February... Iceland! Of course, it came and went quicker than ever and I was devastated it had ended.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I sat down with myself one day back in January and asked myself 'what do you want to do with your life?' I must say for the first time in a long time it finally hit me. I want a job that is not just a job but a career. I've been doing a lot of research, design work and really getting into the spirit of things and I know it's going to be very hard work but one day I will finally make my dream a reality. I know that I'm going to have to work 7 days a week, hold down a job for income, devote weekends to working on my dream but it will be so worth it. So I keep telling myself!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On another note and the real reason, this post is happening is a means to remind myself that no matter how down I am that there is so much more to be positive about. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was going through the notes on my phone the other day when I came across a note titled 'Save for:'. It was dated 22/05/2017, intrigued I opened it and couldn't believe what was on the list. I'd made this note as a reminder to myself of the things I wanted to achieve that year and without even realising it, I managed to achieve 4 of 6 things on the list. The list consisted of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-A new phone</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-A Bike</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Iceland</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Asian 2 week trip</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Invisalign</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Dermatologist</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You may notice that this is one very pricey list. But in under a year, I'd managed to buy myself a new bicycle, get Invisalign, buy a new iPhone 7plus, and go to Iceland for a week. You may have read the quote currently located at the top of this blog post. I'd seen this quote many months ago and the second I read that note it came to mind. It made me stop and think that no matter how down I'm feeling, or how much I'm not enjoying my current situation that I always need to just 'remember the days I prayed for what I have now.' This applies to you too. If you're currently stuck in a rut and you hate your job, or you don't have enough money or your friends around you are buying their own house's, have kids then just remember ... always be proud of what YOU yourself have managed to do that has made YOU happy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To end this post I'm sharing my new 'Save For:' list that I've made on my phone so hopefully, in one years time, I can be proud of myself again. The list is as follows: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Keep saving every penny for that house</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Explore your passion and turn that job into a career</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2018 will be the quiet year, the year my head stays down and I work, work, work so that 2019 can be THE year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Keep smiling!</span></div>

Many people have shared posts on social media on why their year was amazing, or in some cases maybe not their best year. It can be difficult at times not to focus on the negatives and what we didn't achieve. All I saw throughout the year were people my age or younger getting engaged, buying houses, having children etc and it's so easy to get caught up in comparing our lives to that of others. But despite all of that, I have had a wonderful year filled with many amazing memories and resolutions I managed to attain!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, here are a few key moments that have made my year one of the most smooth sailings yet. I wanted to write this post because I love to appreciate these moments especially in times of need. It's far too easy to focus on what we don't have and it's good to be reminded of the positives as well as set new goals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here are a few key moments of 2017.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Entering the New Year with my family</b>. On January, 1st Alex and I, embarked on the 8-hour car journey to Paisley, Scotland to stay with my mum and her partner Mark. We left at 4am and en route picked up my brother. Upon arriving we had tea and opened all the Christmas presents. It was a truly wonderful second Christmas and we stayed there for the entire first week of January. I never felt more relaxed and it was just what I needed after a hectic few weeks at work.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Starting my new job! </b>I worked incredibly hard to get the position of Visual Merchandiser at House of Fraser. I was convinced there was no way I would get the position but I managed to bag it after all. One of my New Year's resolutions was to get to the end of 2017 on a better paid, career that I loved, and I managed to do just that!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>All the opportunities my job has presented to me throughout the year</b>. My third day on the job I was off to the Oxford Street store to support with the set up of model store. I felt completely out of my depth but I got through it. Other amazing opportunities including, setting up the A/W press show in Soho. I got to dress the sets and work with the buyers/PR team. What an experience. It made me realise that I love </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">set dressing and it's something I would love to explore. I also went off to the Croydon store for 3 days to help with a massive move on the home department. It was a great way to meet new people and work with the Area Visual Manager.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Celebrating mine and Alex's 8 year anniversary </b>by going to Brighton for a long weekend. We love to explore new cities and much prefer memories over material items. We'd never been before and we stayed in the cosiest cottage too! It was honestly the best weekend.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Edinburgh, Dartmouth, Dubrovnik and Glasgow. </b>Lush holidays and new adventures with my best friend. <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love to travel with you. </span>A highlight for me definitely- trying a deep fried mars bar in Edinburgh- it was so good!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Citadel Festival</b>. Alex and I hadn't been to a festival in too long and we love our music. This was the perfect festival for sun, music, drink and fun. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Buying our first car together!</b> I was incredibly blessed to be given a car by my grandmother back in 2016 but sadly there was a possibility that she might fail the MOT. We had to make the hardest decision to part exchange for a new car. So, although I was devastated to say goodbye to our beloved Ford Focus (you gave us a wonderful year with amazing memories), I was so happy to welcome Taco- The white VW, Polo GT into our lives.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Getting Invisalign.</b> I spent years living with the insecurity of my teeth. For the last 5 years, I kept toying with the idea of getting Invisalign but it was incredibly expensive. When my dentist told me my cross-bite would give me future issues I knew it was time to finally take the plunge. One of my biggest insecurities and now I finally got my Invisalign- a dream come true! I'm currently on tray 10 of 21 and I can already see the difference.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Watching my baby brother's RAF passing out parade.</b> One of, if not the proudest moment of 2017! I cried like a baby which took me by absolute surprise but it was such a heartwarming moment. So proud.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Celebrating my 25th birthday.</b> I had such a wonderful day. I had breakfast in bed, I was very spoiled, taken to afternoon tea, spent the evening watching fireworks, followed with a week up in Scotland staying with my mum and Mark. Another wonderful week spent up there.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Another heavenly December. </b>Secret Santa's, advent calendars, endless amount of film watching, London trips, consuming a lifetimes worth of food, baking, mulled wine, present hunting, wrapping, present swapping and all of the fizz.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Lastly, my lovely family visiting over New Year. </b>My Mum and Mark came down on the 29th which saw us all going to my brother's, girlfriends family home for a lovely evening of nibbles. The 30th, saw my parents and my brother come over for dinner with Alex and his parents. The 31st- Myself, my brother, his partner (Katie) and Alex all went to my parents Airbnb to open presents, play game upon game and have all the laughs before going to dinner at Cote in Farnham for a wonderful meal.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, it's goodbye to 2017 and hello to 2018. It's been a wonderful year and I am determined for this year to be just as great and successful! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am determined to reach the end of 2018 a confident driver, further my career- perhaps take up studying (maybe Interior Design) and continue to save money toward buying our first house. However, if it doesn't happen or things take a different turn I do have these things to look forward to - a week in Iceland, celebr</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ating 9 years with Alex and visiting faraway family over the summer.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And just like that, all 25 beautiful beauty doors have been opened. I must admit I am beyond sad I will no longer be coming home every evening from work to open a beauty door. It has definitely been my highlight every day throughout the month of December.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was my first Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar and what a treat it was. The vast amount of premium brands is unreal with so many I had been for years wanting to try. I am always the first to shy away when it comes to paying the high price for particular brands, especially as my skin is so temperamental. One of the (MANY) reasons why I have loved this calendar is partially due to finally being able to try these brands without the price tag, and although you're probably thinking, 'Um hun, you paid £175 for the calendar.' just think about it for a second. You're getting 25 premium brands that usually come with the price tag of between £40-£50 all for £175. Now, I cannot hide it from you I was VERY lucky to receive it for my birthday from my wonderful boyfriend but still! If you're a massive beauty lover like myself I would totally recommend purchasing next years although don't delay! This calendar sold out in 24 hours of going live online and within 3 days in store! Set your alarms girls!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With every December comes a time for exploration when it comes to Alex and myself. It would seem that every year we manage to do something or go somewhere and why not, it is, after all, the most wonderful time of the year. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This year we decided to take our annual London trip in the month of December because there is always something new to see, try and I love going to see all the Christmas decorations. We got our itinerary ready and off we went on Friday, the 8th of December on the 8:44 train. First port of call was obviously to go shopping and the reason I love London so much is due to the vast amount of inspiration you can find for Christmas presents. We stopped at Fortnum & Mason, Liberty (obviously), looked at the beaut decorations on Carnaby Street and Covent Garden. The weather was perfect for us- no rain with blue skies and a cold chill to the air.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our trip to London would not be complete without trying new food. We are massive foodies and every time we go to London we have a new restaurant to try. Instead of going to our absolute favourite- Bone Daddies, we decided to give Ippudo a try. I have to admit as much as I loved my ramen nothing beats a Bone Daddies. If I remember correctly I believe I had the Karaka-Men ramen with a boiled egg. Belly's full we went back to Covent Garden, definitely one of my favourite places to visit in London and we had a look in some more shops. At this point, we were both absolutely freezing and it seemed the temperature was dropping as the day went on, so we popped into Maxwell's Bar & Grill. We ordered the Salted Caramel Donut Freakshake- one to share between us and it was divine!! Seriously, if you're ever in Covent Garden stop by to try it. It was really delicious and not sickly at all although, that may have been due to sharing one! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our time in London was coming to an end so with one last look at Carnaby Street and Regent Street (as the Christmas lights had come on) we made our way home. We had a wonderful time and as always London did us proud. We left with belly's full of good food and many wonderful goodies.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It has definitely been one of those weeks where all I found myself doing was looking forward to the weekend. This past week I've been working 12-hour shifts, totalling a week of 52 hours worked. Safe to say I was exhausted come Friday and all I wanted to do was have a lovely, relaxing weekend with Alex. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can safely say I am devastated my weekend has come to an end but it has been so wonderful that I thought I would share with you how I unwind and make the most of my weekend.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> On Friday evening after work, we popped to Sainsbury's to pick up some ready rolled puff pastry, strawberries and Nutella, ready for a weekend of naughty breakfasts. The second we got home I put a load of laundry on which I would recommend as it saves you dedicating your weekend to housework. Chores and dinner out of the way the first thing I did was have a relaxing bath using one of my Lush bath bombs and bubble bars. I must have spent at least an hour soaking in the tub watching some Youtube. The perfect start to a weekend!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After sleeping in until 10:15am I made Alex and I a delicious late breakfast of puff pastry and Nutella 'croissants' accompanied with strawberries and frothy coffee. To make these delicious beauties all you need to do is quarter the puff pastry sheet (vertically) and then cut each strip into three squares. Then add a teaspoon of Nutella onto each square. Fold one corner to the other and repeat on all squares. Bake for about 15 minutes and enjoy straight away!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After our yummy breakfast, we headed out to Waitrose to pick a pumpkin each which we took to carving after lunch. I love carving pumpkins and I'm definitely one of those people who really gets into it. Alex and I also washed off and roasted the seeds to prevent too much waste. After a fun afternoon of carving and roasting, we settled down in the evening to watch The Great British Bake Off- my absolute 'chill out' of a programme as it always makes me feel calm and cosy.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sunday morning saw us sleeping in again until 10am. We used the last of the puff pastry to make more Nutella 'croissants', again enjoying some strawberries, sliced banana and frothy coffee. It wouldn't be an unwinding weekend without an Autumnal walk through the woods. Today saw us go on a 1.5-hour walk through the woods which we both thoroughly enjoyed. It was just the right weather with blue-ish skies and a chilly wind- perfect to wrap up warm. </span><br />

I put my comfy gear on and got to watching Hocus Pocus, very fitting for this time of year and the finale on my weekend. I hope you have enjoyed reading this post and yourself have had a relaxing, cosy weekend.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's that time of year again - my absolute favourite! It's funny looking back to my younger self when I would claim summer as my favourite season. Thinking about it now it was most likely just because it involved two months off from school/college, summer clothes and basking in the sun browning my skin. Needless to say, I always looked forward to Autumn and Winter because hellloooo Christmas!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I sit and write this I have the 'Addam's Family Values' on the TV, with my view of the outside consisting of very cloudy skies and orange leaves flying up in the air. This definitely called for an Autumn blog post talking you through my reasons on why I just adore this time of year.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, this is definitely my first port of call as this is personally where I feel the most Autumnal. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When October 1st rolls around I find myself running out to buy as many warm, spicy fragrance candles as I can and obviously stocking up on Lush bath goodies! </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With the clocks going back and the evenings getting darker and colder I find myself craving a bath. I have to say 'baths' are definitely my Autumn/Winter tradition as I mainly shower in the summertime. Seriously, nothing beats soaking in a hot tub when you're chilled to the bone from being outside. As for candles, I love walking into my bedroom after a relaxing bath to light as many candles as possible, with the fragrance sending me into relaxation mode.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Onto the topic of my bedroom, this is the place I make the most of being cosy. It's during this season that I whack out my fairy lights, cosy bedding, throws and blankets. All these things I pack away during Summer so I can fully appreciate them in the colder months. Alex and I recently went to Home Sense where I picked up this lovely throw for our bed. It's not your usual Autumnal colours but it's still super cosy! (Also wearing the new cosy pyjamas that I picked up recently from House of Fraser- brand Maison De Nimes.) Can't start the colder months without a new pyjama set, right?!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The best part about this time of year! I always find myself stocking up on yet MORE knitwear and jumpers as well as coats and jackets. It does seem that this time every year I treat myself to a new coat or ask for at least one for my birthday. My collection is ever growing and you would honestly think I own every style by now but no, there's always a new one to add. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last weekend I took to packing away all of my summer clothes and bringing back out my jumpers as well as stocking up on a few new pieces. My most recent purchases including a new scarf, two new jumpers, a shirt, a blouse, two dresses, pyjamas and two new pairs of trousers! As I said every year I invest in a new coat/jacket so this year for my birthday I have asked for a </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tommy Hilfiger down padded</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> jacket (coming my way from Alex) and this ultra-cool Zara Biker > <a href="https://www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/leather/view-all/biker-jacket-c835048p4953520.html" target="_blank">Jacket</a> < coming from Alex's rents.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Absolutely the best time of year because it means you get to wrap up warm (in your new winter gear), pick pumpkins, search for conkers and then look forward to going home to get warm and cosy!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As if I am currently sat writing this blog post. As if I am sat at the garden table with the most beautiful sunshine beaming on to me about to write the first part of a dream come true.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes, a dream come true. You're probably thinking the sun has gone to my head because how can braces be a dream come true. But they are! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let's start from the beginning. When I was 13 possibly 14 I had to get braces. Now, my teeth were straight and fine but my canine tooth on the left side of my mouth hadn't fully grown down so when I smiled you could only see the tip. I had to get braces to pull this down so the brace I had was a plate (you could remove when eating) which had a single wire going across the front of my teeth. I think I had this for roughly a year or more. In the process of pulling this tooth down the brace had moved my other teeth to allow room but once my treatment was complete this left me with not only a cross-bite but the front right incisor overlapping the tooth next to it. When we mentioned this after the treatment I was told it would be classed as 'Cosmetic' dentistry so my mother would have to pay to correct this. So, essentially I was left with less than perfect teeth and from the age of 15 years old I was insecure about my teeth. I always noticed in photographs it showed up rather obvious and over the years I started practising in the mirror how to smile at the camera while disguising the issue. Of course, any photographs where I was caught off guard was an instant untag/delete.</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Over many years I have looked into Invisalign when I first discovered it back in 2010. I always dreamed of affording it because it was a great option for me as I wasn't keen on train track braces. The downside was always going to be the cost and there was never a good time for me as I was either off to college/university so I couldn't make the payments or I was saving for holidays/going travelling. Every year I lusted after the idea always watching YouTube videos feeling so envious of others. It wasn't until this year when I went in for my six months check up that my dentist said the cross-bite I had was going to affect my teeth in the long term. He said that it was fine for now but in the future, it would wear down my teeth pretty badly. This scared the life out of me because I definitely want to make it as long as possible into old age with my own natural teeth. It seemed the best option was to pay the money now to correct the issue rather than in the future when it'll most likely cost the Earth to afford massive correction work. It actually couldn't have come at a better time as Alex and I are currently settled (living with his parents), saving up to buy a house with no massive commitments coming up such as travels/university etc. </span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I looked around my local area for the best practitioner that wasn't asking for a huge down payment first. Sadly, my dentist wanted to charge me £140 for the consultation which if you go ahead with treatment comes off the final fee, but if you don't go ahead you lose £140. Another dentist was charging £95 which was a much better option. Instead, I took to the Invisalign website to find the best person possible which is when <a href="http://weststreetorthodontics.co.uk/" target="_blank">West Street Orthodontics</a> in Farnham came up. They were actually in the top 11 and have the very most up to date technology. When I went onto their website I noticed that they were doing limited free consultations worth up to £120. I mean ... could this have come at a better time. I was straight on to the phone to book in.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, at the first consultation, they took photographs of my teeth and looked into what my concern was. My orthodontist spoke to me about how teeth are supposed to be aligned and where mine was going wrong. He also spoke about how Invisalign works and that I would be a suitable candidate which was soooo exciting. Bare in mind if you are interested specifically in Invisalign that sadly not everyone is suitable.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I received an email a few days later with my quotation as this is not something he can discuss with me. I think someone else has to look at my teeth to come up with a rough idea on the cost but don't quote me on that. I was put into the top tier which basically means if at the end of the treatment I'm not fully happy, I can have as many refinements as I need until I'm entirely happy. So, of course, my treatment was going to cost a lot of money. You can decide to go with a different tier where you can have no refinements or one refinement. I figured if I'm paying all this money I want it done right the first time and I like the peace of mind in knowing they can carry on the treatment at no extra cost. Over the course of 4-5 days, I constantly spoke with one of their team members (via email) asking loads of questions and making sure I fully understood what I was going into. I would definitely recommend you do this and at the end of this post I will write up a questions list.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My second consultation (about 2 weeks later) required a £100 deposit which again if you decide not to go ahead you lose it but if you continue with the treatment it comes off the final cost. At this appointment, they took two lots of x-rays as well as scanned my teeth with some photographic machine. This machine is a very new technology which means no moulds have to be taken. Once the lovely young lady had finished scanning my teeth I could see them on the screen and within 5 minutes this clever device had corrected my teeth!! So, I could actually see (roughly) how my teeth were going to look at the end of the treatment! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is obviously only a rough idea as it has been created by a machine and in real life, it won't necessarily match exactly but again this is where refinements come in. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At this second consultation, I also had to put down the first initial deposit. I went with a 30% deposit to cut off a massive chunk and to lower my monthly payments which brings me to the next topic. You can obviously pay everything up front which does entitle you to a 5% discount (may differ elsewhere) however this treatment is far too expensive for me to afford in one go. They do allow for different payment plans to work in your favour which is amazing, as they're not just trying to catch you out. I think now in today's day and age braces are a lot more accessible and made to be more affordable. I'm paying a very affordable cost each month and I decided to go with an 18-month contract but of course, do what's right for you.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Onto the questions, I asked at my first consultation which might be useful for you. Some of these I may have answered already for you in the text above but it all depends on what you want and how much you're willing to spend, as I said refinements cost more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">1. How often are check-ups?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">A. Often but not too often, maybe 10 weeks but it depends on when we need to give you your next set of trays. This may vary as you'll need your teeth filed after particular weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. What is the cost and what are your payment options?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A. I decided to keep the cost to myself but email me if you're really interested. Payment options are 0% finance and dependent on what you require. The bigger the deposit the smaller the monthly payments. You can also overpay on particular months if you want to pay more than the agreed monthly cost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3. What happens after the treatment? Will I wear a retainer for the rest of my life?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A. Yes, you will wear a brace for the rest of your life but only at night time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4. If I break or damage a retainer in future can it be replaced?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A. <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Retainers can be ordered again at a cost however after the treatment you're given a set of three which should last forever. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5. Are there any additional costs for anything else such as if I break or lose an aligner during treatment?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A. I'm afraid I don't recall the answer to this, so make sure you check!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6. Do refinements cost any extra or do you keep going until I'm happy?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A. If you opt for the full package you can get unlimited refinements until you're happy. If you decide on no refinements and want them at the end this will come at a cost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7. What follow up care do you provide?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A. One year follow up care.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope I haven't left anything out. I will continue to document my treatment which will hopefully answer more questions. Please ask away if you're unsure of anything.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am definitely that girl you can always rely on when it comes to being out and about with because generally, I tend to carry just about everything with me. Now, don't get me wrong I may have everything in there from a memory stick to plasters but you certainly won't find any old nonsense in my bag as I like to keep it super tidy and remove old receipts/empty packets of food. I've seen far too many YouTube videos of women pulling out old furry sweets from months ago and being so surprised - ew.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My current choice of bag for going to work is this medium sized black tote from Topshop that I received for Christmas about 3-4 years ago. It's still going strong although in some places looks a little worse for wear, however, I refuse to use my expensive bags just to go to work. I mean have you seen the floors on trains/train stations- hell no are my nice bags touching those surfaces. I am however on the lookout for a black backpack to use as this bag can sometimes hurt my shoulder as it pulls me down slightly. I do have my eye on one from Dune currently. But generally speaking, I only use this bag for work as it's a little on the larger side and I tend to carry less with me than when I go shopping.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first thing I pulled out is this makeup bag from Clinique. It's the perfect size to carry all those little bits that tend to float around your bag which you can never find when you need to. I literally keep everything in here from Sanitary wear, to Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, earphones, plasters, tissues, Compeed plasters (best invention), a mirror, tweezers, a brush, Gaviscon, hairclips/grips, lip balm and then I'll usually take my eyebrow brush and the lip liner I'm wearing that day. Is there anything I'm not carrying...</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The next thing is my diary. I cannot be without this because I write down everything I need to remember from the dentist, haircuts, when I'm working, when Alex is working, birthdays etc. I even note down in the previous week to remind myself when I'm due these appointments. I am a very organised person when it comes to things I have to remember because I hate having to remember everything in my head. This diary cover I got from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/400780467/harris-tweed-a5-book-cover-with-notebook" target="_blank">Etsy</a>, it's just very simple and classic.</span><br />

I always keep Sanitary wear in here, and I never leave the house without refilling it. There's nothing worse than being stuck somewhere without the necessities not to mention I'm always helping out other girls in these particular emergencies. I got yo backs!</span><br />

There's just something about being in London/on the underground that always without fail makes me feel really smelly. As a result, this got me into the habit of never leaving the house without a fragrance. This one my mum passed onto me and although it's not my favourite smell ever, it does have such a light floral fragrance that always makes me feel fresh.</span><br />

As I have to rely on the train to get myself to work and home I often find myself stuck at train stations/on trains with delays. There's nothing worse than being in a situation that's boring and you have nothing to do. This is the book I'm currently reading so it remains in my bag until I'm finished reading it.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can't go to work without my trusty memory stick. The job I do involves having to photograph the work I create for my portfolio, so to keep my phone work free, whenever I'm done taking images I upload them to my memory stick. It's a wonderful 32gb.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next up I have my glasses. I only technically have to wear these for long distance so mainly driving, going to the cinema or having to look long distance for a long period of time. Sometimes I find when I'm tired I feel the need to wear them so in my bag they always are.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As you have gathered I rely on the train so I always have to make sure I have my National Rail ticket holder on me as this has my 16-25 railcard and my I.D for when I buy a season ticket.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Due to having the Worlds worst battery on my phone I can never leave the house without my portable phone charger. This beauty has saved me every single day over the past year and I could not be without it. I would definitely recommend this one if you're on the lookout because I only have to charge it once a week, and I use it a lot! <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0154MXP9G" target="_blank">Lumsing</a></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I always carry spare plastic bags in my bag as I'm usually doing some shopping while I'm at work like stocking up at Boots or going via Sainsbury's before going home. I, for one, do not like paying 5p for a bag (of course I do when I need to) but I prefer to be economical and reuse ones I already have. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

This is because I for one do not trust the British weather. I've left the house in the mornings before with glorious sunshine only to find when I'm walking home the heaviest downpour of rain. Therefore I will never leave the house without my umbrella. This one is amazing I picked it up from Boots and it's so useful with the open button and incredibly strong too.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Happpppy bank holiday guys! Hope you've all had a good one- I certainly have as the sun has FINALLY been shining for us. I've just sat down on the sofa with a coffee after a 10.1-mile bike ride so I'm feeling super relaxed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, before I get into my skincare routine you should know that I'm extremely picky when it comes to the products that I use because for many many years I have suffered from acne. It started when I was around 13 and still to this day does it plague me. My skin type is oily/combination/prone to breakouts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have used everything under the sun let me tell you, from extreme drying products to very delicate organic products such as Manuka honey followed by Jojoba oil. I've been on two or three different antibiotics as well as Roaccutane. Needless to say, I've never really figured out what works for me because my skin is always breaking out randomly, and a lot of the time I have no idea why. I can have very clear patches where nothing in my diet or skincare changes but then it'll go crazy and then calm down again... I just don't know.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The clearest my skin has ever been was when I was travelling last year. My partner and I were gone for four months and because I wore absolutely no makeup, and used very simple products, my skin cleared up. Mainly this was so that I was carrying as little as possible at all times. I think all I was using was Garnier Micellar water, followed with a cream cleanser, a sensitive skin toner and a sensitive face cream. The brand I'm sure I was using was the Boot's Botanics range for sensitive skin which is now discontinued. My skin was the clearest I have ever seen it!! Even the really super pigmented scars were finally fading (my skin does scar incredibly quickly). I put this down to a very simple product routine, no makeup and sunshine. When I came back I got myself a job and I was back to using makeup. Ohhh what a mistake. My skin erupted and because it was so bad I wanted to buy whatever I could get my hands on to clear it. I came across Kiehl's which I'm not going to get in to but I used two of their face washes and a toner. My skin cleared up briefly before going crazy again. The products were just too drying which my face does not like.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My skin was just not clearing up and it was getting worse especially with all the pigmentation forming. Enough was enough so I decided to completely strip back my skincare and use very simple, kind to skin products. That is when I discovered Avene. I used one of their face washes, the </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Cleanance Gel (for oily/blemish prone skin) and the Tolerance Moisturiser (for sensitive skin). A very simple routine consisting of one cleanser and one moisturiser. Although for the most part, this did sort my skin out I started finding the gel cleanser very drying and the moisturiser too heavy. My skin was being stripped of all oils and then being drenched with a too heavy moisturiser.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">I went to see a Dermatologist who was one of the most awful people I have ever encountered and all she wanted me to do was go on Roaccutane, which I specifically said I didn't want to do. She essentially couldn't help me and definitely needs to reconsider her profession. One thing I did take from her was to use a gel face moisturiser, specifically Clinique as it's very light and doesn't drown the skin in moisture. </span></span></div>
</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was also around the time I discovered Caroline Hirons through Anna Saccone-Joly, whose skin had cleared up beautifully. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I decided to take a gamble and purchased the Pixi + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse. While using this cleanser, I was using a sample of the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel. The two in combination with each other soothed my skin and stopped any more acne from breaking out. I found the cleanser really effective in removing everything, keeping my skin soothed and because I was using a face cloth it also kept my skin exfoliated. I think with oily skin you need to keep it exfoliated because it's producing so much oil, but then over exfoliating with harsh products tends to dry the skin out, which is a massive no-no as this produces more acne. I very quickly then purchased a full-size bottle of the </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel which has lasted me forever!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was seriously loving this new routine I had and reading Caroline Hirons blog daily got me on to looking into acids. I decided to purchase the Pixi Glow Tonic as every woman and her auntie uses it. I do really love this stuff and you can really feel it closing up any open acne from having washed my face. I never ever pick acne as I find the best solution is using a warm cloth to cleanse as this usually softens the spot and removes the head for me. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, the other two item's I have since acquired in my routine is the Boot's Botanic's face cleanser. This stuff is really delicate, doesn't irritate my skin and it's a great alternative to when I'm not using the Double Cleanse. I also mostly use it in the mornings however when I'm having a no makeup day then I will use the Botanics instead of the Double Cleanse.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Something else I have added into my routine is the </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Vichy Normaderm Night Detox. Whether this actually works I'm unsure of however I have realised I do not wake up with any new acne, so in my books, I definitely think it must be doing something. I was considering whether or not to repurchase it but I think for now I definitely will. On a side note, all these products last for ages!! The only product I've repurchased is the Double Cleanse- I think I'm on my third tub!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tis the season of festivals and with each year a new one presents itself. At the start of this year I knew for sure I wanted to attend one having not been to a festival for five years! I have to say as much as I love going to festivals for the music, seeing your favourite musicians, the food and drink and having a laugh what I actually don't like is the people that come with it. There is always a select few to ruin your time and it's usually the people who haven't grasped the concept of a festival is for a good time, and for the music but they simply go to get trollied, high off their faces and ruin it for others (can you tell I'm a little bitter?). They're also usually the people who tend to remain at camp and don't bother seeing any musicians.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Having already been to Reading twice, Nass and Boomtown which are all weekend festivals, Alex and I wanted to find a day festival. That way you get the experience without the night time weirdos and you get to go home, shower and sleep in your bed (granny alert). I took to google and although there aren't that many especially near enough to us Citadel popped up. This is a rather new festival with only two years behind them but once I'd read their bio I knew it was the one. </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

COMBINING THE CITY’S CREATIVITY WITH A THRILLING MUSICAL LINEUP, FOR ONE DAY VICTORIA PARK BECOMES A SUN-DRENCHED UTOPIA…THE ULTIMATE SUMMER SUNDAY"</span></span></blockquote>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">'The ultimate summer Sunday'- hello! Sounded perfect and the line up had me so excited! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, the festival itself was actually amazing! We got there in good time (gates open at 12pm) and once we were in we walked all around the park taking everything in. I was actually amazed at what there was to offer considering the ticket was only £50. I couldn't believe it actually. Firstly, you're paying for the amazing artists to present themselves that day but there was so much to do from laying in hammocks, playing ping pong, volleyball, football, sit 'n' bounce ball races honestly the list goes on. Considering Reading costs about £200 when you're actually there, there isn't anything to do activity wise. It's such a great concept as it's fun and keeps you busy while you wait for your favourite musicians to play. There was also yoga, dance classes, science talks, lovercise, hula hoop classes, Ferris wheels and those high swings(which we obviously went on) the list actually goes on its unreal how much is provided.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The food stalls were all different every single one offering something different and tasty from the other. Being such a food lover I always get so excited to try all the new food. There was also a Fevertree gin and tonic stand where I must admit I drank mostly from because they were so good! Amongst the many stalls there were glitter girls for only £5 so being in the festival spirit, of course, I had my face done as well as a Polaroid stall. The girl was so lovely and made us feel at ease and the image actually turned out amazing. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another aspect which blew me away was how economical they were in not handing out programmes which usually end up on the floor or littered throughout London. To see when your favourite bands are playing you have to download the app- how amazing is that! Obviously, everyone is going to have their phones so what a clever concept and if you don't have your phone prior to the event you can write it down. On the app, you can also star all the musicians you want to see so 10 minutes prior to them playing you're notified. Mind blown. We had the absolute pleasure of seeing Jake Isaac, RY X, Oumou Sangare, Dan Croll(second time seeing him!), Sylvan Esso, A Blaze of a Feather, Bonobo, and the Foals!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We weren't blessed with the most amazing weather but we were blessed with no down pours and to be honest you wouldn't want blazing sun all day- I still managed to get sun burnt through the clouds. We had such a brilliant time that we are definitely considering next year!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fruit picking is something I've always wanted to do and with every new year I mention it to Alex but we still never seemed to go. However this year we were going to make it happen! I took to the Durleighmarsh Farm website as this is our closest fruit & veg picking farm to see when the best time was to go, July looked to be the perfect month </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">predominantly </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">for fruit. So, making a note in my diary with a set date the day eventually came round and perfect timing too what with the gorgeous weather. After a very long week at work, Alex and I were very excited for the weekend not only to relax with each other but to do something fun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We were greeted at home on Friday evening to a BBQ and Pimms, the perfect start to a weekend. Waking this morning at 9:30, we got ourselves ready and headed straight to Bill's in Farnham. I enjoyed the banana, strawberries and blueberries buttermilk pancakes with watermelon, peach and raspberry juice, while Alex had eggs royale and a cappuccino. After what has to be the best breakfast one can have it was straight to the farm. The weather was gorgeous and whilst we walked around we picked away at the blueberries and strawberries. We must've spent about two-ish hours walking around and I have to say there is something so satisfying about picking your own fruit. Not only can you avoid the gone off/too ripe parts but you get to pick all the best bits at a fraction of supermarket costs. If you've always wanted to go I would definitely recommend it. You get to spend some time outdoors (my favourite thing), have a little laugh with your partner/friends and get lots of cheap fruit. I am 100% one day going to have fruit bushes in my garden to pick from.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, we all know packing for a holiday is one of the most difficult things us girls can do because who wants to be seen in last years holiday outfits. I know for myself especially I like to buy new clothes for a holiday but also take a few pieces from last year to mix with something new. This is a great way of recycling clothes without having to wear the exact same outfit. Say for example you love a particular top, you could buy new trousers, shorts or even a skirt to make it look new when in reality you've worn it for the past 5 holidays.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is just a peek into the outfits I wore during my time in Croatia. I wanted to keep it classy because I feel that I'm at an age (yes, I'm only 24) where I don't really want my bum cheeks hanging out anymore. I picked up these pieces over the past 3 months, just buying bits randomly that I came across on websites and as for bikinis, well I had to buy brand new ones because my other bikinis had become very well used from travelling- straight in the bin.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When it comes to packing for holidays I love to pack smart. I know it's easy to just take every single item you love and pair together outfits when you're out there but this year Alex and I were only taking one suitcase ... yes, that's right two people were going to be using the same suitcase, so I definitely had to smart pack. The day before we left I took down all my favourite items including all my new bits. I then organised them into day outfits and evening/dinner outfits as well as what I'd wear on the day of leaving and the day coming back. I paired everything together and actually found myself putting a whole load of clothes back I just wouldn't need. Luckily for us, everything did fit bringing our bag to whopping 19kg.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On to the fun bit ... outfits!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Day 1. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wanted to be comfortable for the flight but also warm for the aeroplane aircon/cool for the arrival. This outfit was perfect because these trousers are super comfortable. I wasn't at all cold on the flight nor was I too hot when we spent the day exploring. The entire outfit is from Miss Selfridge, the bralette and my bag are from TopShop and my sandals which are years old are from Next.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On this day we were going to be exploring the famous wall. This dress is so comfortable and flattering on the body but also very cooling to wear. I picked this up recently from Asos from a brand called Pixie & Diamond. The bag again is Topshop and the flip-flops are Havaianas.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To take this outfit from day to night I removed the belt it came with and replaced it with a leather belt I bought from Asos. This just cinched in my waist and added something more to the outfit.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On this day we were going to be heading for Lokrum island so I needed to be prepared for swimming and long walks. I decided to go for shorts as these are practical along with this gorgeous top I got from Zara. It's very airy and kept me very cool. The shorts are years old from Topshop and the flip-flops are the same as above. So, again you can see how I integrate my new items in with my older items.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ah, where do I even begin? Those were exactly my thoughts when anyone asked me how my holiday was. Where do I begin? Other than the fact is was one of the best holidays. Dubrovnik has to be one of the most beautiful cities I've had the pleasure of visiting. It was incredibly clean (literally not even cigarette butts on the floor), the buildings were stunning and the scenery was unreal. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's funny looking back to the beginning of the year when Alex and I were struggling so much with where to go on our annual holiday. You're talking about the likes of Mauritius, Bali, Mexico, Italy, South Africa, seriously the list goes on but nothing ever stood out and the more we looked the more expensive it got. The whole point for us was to keep it cheap so we could have a winter holiday as appose to a summer holiday because we wanted to do something different this year. However, having said that we also wanted a summer break. So, here we were in a huge dilemma so we started researching cheap holidays when Alex came across Korcula- an island off from Dubrovnik. To get to Korcula you have to fly to Dubrovnik then catch a 2-hour boat which did not appeal to us as every single time one of us struggles with motion sickness. Again in a dilemma and wanting to also see Dubrovnik we came to the conclusion we would spend 4 days in Dubrovnik and then 3 days in Korcula before coming back to Dubrovnik to fly home but this started looking far too complicated and full on when in reality all we wanted to do was relax, sightsee, swim and chill out. So it was decided, we were going to spend 5 nights, 6 days in Dubrovnik which is plenty of time to see it and relax while keeping the cost down. We booked our flights, our Airbnb and it was settled.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dubrovnik is one of those places where everywhere you turn there is a beautiful sight in front of you. The city itself has beautiful buildings, many side streets to explore with every single one looking so different to the last. We spent our first day just wondering around taking everything in and making note of things we wanted to do/see. Among the many long walks around we did the walk on the wall which definitely had that #nofilter view from every single point. We also went on a buggy safari which was awesome and went up the cable car to enjoy a picnic dinner while watching the sunset.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We also spent one of the days at Lokrum island which is a beautiful little island accessible with a 15-minute boat or alternatively you can kayak over there. Brimming with wildlife there are peacocks everywhere and we also saw some rabbits. There is plenty to do with lots of different walks, food to eat and places to relax in the sun/swim. If you're a Game of Thrones fan then I would recommend you definitely go because there were plenty of filming locations as well as the famous throne. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would have to say all in all we had such a wonderful time! We got to spend some quality time together, have fun, try just about every flavour of ice cream, take part in some amazing adventures and see some of the most beautiful sights.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you haven't already gathered by now you'll begin to notice I loooove to travel. Whether that be abroad, in England or just spending a day away in a city. Whatever it might be I love to explore and see new sights. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the top of our travel list has always been Brighton. I don't actually know why I couldn't tell you. Perhaps it was always a place mentioned to me by friends, family, or coworkers but whenever it was mentioned it was always with great response. As Alex and I had our eight year anniversary approaching (aww) we wanted to go somewhere not only to mark the date but because we figured we'd rather have memories together than actual material items- something we always pick actually. So, Brighton, it was! It's near enough to us not to have to travel far but far enough away to call it 'time away'. We got our sights on Airbnb- a place we have come to love since our worldwide travels and we managed to find the cutest cottage in Steyning. We didn't want to be in the centre of Brighton just slightly out so Steyning was perfect because it's only roughly 30 minutes in the car. We booked to stay on a Friday and Saturday night so it only required booking Friday off from work. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Turning up to an Airbnb can be daunting because you question how accurate the images are but seriously the minute I stepped into the cottage you couldn't wipe the smile off my face if you tried. I absolutely fell in love as did Alex. It was incredibly cosy and just the perfect setting for a Friday night in and in such a peaceful area. As we arrived around 3pm we explored Steyning high street and walked amongst the housing areas. It's a quaint little place with some very old buildings. But first thing was first-food! As we had missed lunchtime due to spending the morning/day at Weald and Downland (link to post) we were starving! We went into a little cafe called Truffles Bakery and enjoyed ourselves a cappuccino and shared one Portuguese tart and caramel doughnut. With a quick trip to The Sussex Produce co. to pick up some veggies and sausages for Sunday morning (we were going to have a fry up) it was back to the cottage to settle down after a lovely first day. What does a Friday night in call for?... a take away of course. It's very rare we have a takeaway (something we do roughly once a year) so it was a real treat- we decided on Indian which we consumed while binge-watching Orange Is The New Black.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(cup of tea with the fire on- bliss)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">...</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After what I'm sure was the best nights sleep, the alarm went off on Saturday morning at 8:15. After a somewhat leisurely morning, we took off at 9:30am and arrived in Brighton at 10am. Luckily we managed to get parking in Regency Square and I would definitely say we got there in good time because around 11:30 people were queuing up to park. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First thing was obviously first, a walk down to the water. We walked along the seaside before heading to the lanes where we picked up some doughnuts/cronuts from <a href="http://www.dumdums.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dum Dum</a>. As it was early morning we didn't want to carry them around all day so it was back to the car to leave them there. Back along the seafront (dying to find the loo) we basked in the sunshine and took in our surroundings. As breakfast had been light and it was now around 12:30 we headed for lunch at <a href="http://www.wahaca.co.uk/" target="_blank">Wahaca</a>. GO THERE. No, seriously, go. The food came so quickly and was so scrumptious! We decided to have a tapas lunch so ordered four choices from the menu and to drink I had the passionfruit& hibiscus cooler- wow. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sufficiently full and happy we walked the lanes before settling at <a href="http://www.bohogelato.co.uk/" target="_blank">Boho Gelato</a>- I had the rhubarb&custard and Alex had carrot cake which we enjoyed on the beach. Laying on that beach with the warm sun beating down on me I never felt so content. Alex eventually dragged me off so it was a walk down the pier and back to the lanes to enjoy some juice at '42 Juice'. We had a juice each which we drank outside in the glorious, warm sunshine and took home two of the 'mylks'. I would definitely recommend them as they're sooo tasty, not to mention healthy. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not having been shopping we went to the big shops for a look see. We ended up in Urban Outfitters who had a photo booth in there which was hilarious because we always fail at them. No purchases made it was time to enjoy a fish&chips on the beach- we decided to share one as we can never finish them. Another walk along the seaside which was perfect with the sun setting. I was the happiest bunny leaving Brighton especially going back to our gorgeous cottage to binge on Dum Dum's and Orange Is The New Black.

It was perfect timing to go as we had booked our weekend away in Brighton and fortunate for us we couldn't check into the cottage until 4pm. So, what were going to do on our Friday off until then? Alex came up with the brilliant idea to go as it was somewhat on the way to Brighton and what a great idea because I loved every moment of it!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the reasons Alex wanted to take me, aside from being a lovely place to walk around was because one of my absolute favourite TV series, The 10th Kingdom was filmed there. We left the house at 10:30am and headed straight over roughly an hour drive. It does cost £13 each to go in but it's so worth it. You're handed a map so you can navigate the grounds and essentially you look at very old housing and see how people would have lived many many years ago. The grounds are very well maintained and to a standard of how they would have been exactly years ago. You can also go into the houses/buildings and see just how the place would have been set up. Whilst you're wondering about there are animals dotted around the place so we saw chickens (whose names we found out were Sid and Rocket), horses, cows, even a mummy pig with little piglets who were so cute. We ended up being there for quite some time, the walks were very relaxing and the people who work there are so friendly and helpful. </span><br />

So, I guess this is my little summer haul. Now, to save up and actually book a holiday. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><u>Zara</u></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">The first thing I picked up is this beautiful coat. I spotted this one morning walking past Zara to work and I fell in love within seconds. It's a very pricey number (£79.99) however I think it's got a classic look to it, very ladylike and smart yet casual. The perfect colour and texture to spice up a plain black outfit and I will definitely have this for years to come. A lightweight piece perfect for cool summer days.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was suckered in when they held a 20% off all items discount code so of course, I made the most of it. If there is one fundamental piece of clothing missing from my wardrobe it's a blue denim pinafore. I do have a corduroy one in red and in black but not in blue denim. I fell in love with this one (£46) as others I have seen have been a little..naff. This fits beautifully and it has such a timeless look to it. I also threw into my basket this gorgeous top (£19) the colour is perfect for spring/summer and I love how well they go together. I also decided to buy the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion as I have heard many a great thing so hopefully, £16 was worth it...</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was certainly in need of a longline cardigan especially for work as I don't like my bootay being on show. I went into New Look just to look if there was anything around and I spotted this lovely black speckled one for £17.99. It's a perfect fit with not too much material drowning you and I love the splits up the back. This cardigan spices up any outfit and I will certainly be wearing it not only to work but outside too. It'll look great with some blue skinny jeans and a thin strap cami with a pair of Adidas trainers.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have certainly been loving the lace bralette trend. They look so delicate and beautiful but classy too. I picked up these two (£16 each) from Topshop as they are my favourite style I've seen so far. I must say I love the very subtle thin padding for modesty and I am an utter convert because they are sooo comfortable. They look beautiful under sheer tops or underneath a shirt with the buttons undone quite low just so they're peaking through. I definitely need to invest in every single colour. Love love love.</span></div>

A very feminine dress and perfect for days you don't want to wear a short dress. I loooove.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are all too familiar with the growing craze of veganism with health shops, restaurants and stores popping up left, right and centre and one of those to jump on the bandwagon being Miss Niomi Smart. Around the time she started her YouTube channel she herself decided to take on a healthier lifestyle although she does not claim to be vegan but 'plant-based'. Keep reading to find out what I think of Eat Smart...</span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A lot of my blog posts as you may have noticed are very much more on the beauty and travel side of things but if there is one thing I am a huge fan of its food.. but not just any food, healthy food! I can become a little obsessed when it comes to what I put into my body but I struggled for inspiration always resorting to salads and smoothies.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As you've seen over the past months how I have been changing up my current beauty products for more organic, cruelty-free, vegan products slowly but surely the same is applying to my diet. Now, I won't beat around the bush I am by no means a vegan and I have to say in the words of Niomi more so 'plant-based'. I am a huge lover of fish and I do believe that we as humans do need the nutrients found in meat (not processed!). You could call my diet 80/20 where I try to eat at least 80% plant-based food and 20% indulgent not so plant-based food. My body image mentality is not one of 'I need to be thin' or 'I need abs' but that of am I healthy and is my body thriving on what I'm putting into it. I was beyond excited when Niomi announced she was going to be bringing out a cookbook as I found her YouTube videos to be limiting when she mentioned the foods she ate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My lovely grandma bought me the book for my 24th birthday and since then I have been slowly making different recipes from within the book. I have come to find that all the recipes call for rather obscure ingredients which she has been slated for on review sites. I can understand why some people may be annoyed by having to go out and purchase a whole new kitchen of bits that don't come cheap however I must say that with a lot of her recipes once you've bought for one another recipe requires the same ingredients. So, although at first, it might cost a lot once you have most ingredients you are able to make more than 1 recipe. Personally, as a working adult, I haven't found it very expensive but I can see why if you're below the age of 15 it could be irritating and costly for your parents. However, you could always spread the cost by making bits here and there over time.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since having had the book I have made the Mixed Fruit & Nut Granola (more than once, I keep a constant supply in the cupboard). I absolutely love this recipe but what I love most is knowing exactly what is in the mix. It is really tasty and delicious and I totally recommend it. The only thing</span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;"> Niomi fails to mention in the book is to stir the granola during cooking. I would definitely recommend stirring at least every 10 minutes otherwise the granola sticks like mad to the baking tray and is an absolute nightmare to remove.</span><br />

I have made these twice and what I do with these is have them as an after-work snack. They're filling to the point where you're no longer hungry but not too full for dinner. They are really delicious and for someone who isn't keen on lemon, it's not at all too overpowering- love!</span></span><br />

This recipe was definitely on my list to try. I now have this recipe every Saturday morning for breakfast. It's like a ritual for me because I look forward to it every time! It's so easy to make and beyond delicious- it's like eating pudding for breakfast- I love it love it love it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Banana Bread Porridge. For some reason, I've only made this once but it is actually really yummy. It just adds a little something extra to what could be quite boring porridge in the morning. If you're someone who wants to eat well in the morning but finds porridge bland definitely give this a go!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Superpower Energy Balls. I have made this recipe three times now. It definitely has to be my favourite of the energy balls. They are so incredibly moreish and again I have these for after work to fill the gap until dinner. I love the ingredients super healthy and just so darn yummy!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pecan + Date Biscuits. I've made these once and I have to say as nice as they are they're my least favourite. I still enjoyed them and most likely would make them again but they weren't as...addictive as some of the other recipes. For some reason, they went off quite quickly too! Maybe they needed to be refrigerated but who knows. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;">Coconut pancakes with a mango sauce. Oh my God now this recipe I could make always and forever. I actually wanted this recipe to be my Sunday breakfast ritual however it can be costly for sure but also I didn't want to get sick of them. I would 100% recommend this recipe. I have made vegan pancakes before but found them to taste like rubbery banana flavoured oats. THESE, however, are absolutely tasty and the topping of mango sauce just takes it out of this world. LOVE!</span><br />

Now, this was something I definitely had to get my head around. The texture and taste is rather confusing because it's like a sweet but salty taste. However, once I got my head around the fact it's not really macaroni cheese but essentially purée butternut squash I did start to enjoy it. I think when you're making this obviously don't expect it to be the pinnacle of mac&cheese. See it as something unique of its own and you'll really enjoy it like I did. I'm by no means saying I was expecting mac&cheese but it definitely took a few mouthfuls before I thought actually this is really nice! My boyfriend and his parents all enjoyed it too so what a bonus! Will definitely make again!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, I'm the kind of person who is a serious health fanatic when it comes to products and what I use. I am always on the look out to improve what I put onto my skin, hair and nails because why would you want to use something when you can't even read the ingredients? I've already whittled down my body wash, body cream, face care and deodorant to natural, kind to your skin products. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My biggest quest was finding a nail polish that didn't leave my nails brittle and colour stained or having to resort to shellac. No nail polish in the world (apart from one ;) ) lets your nails breathe and if you're like me having bare nails is just a no no, but because my nails were always coated in polish I found they became weaker and kept breaking. That is until I discovered Nailberry L'Oxygéné nail polish which is the only one of its kind. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Vegan and cruelty free... how could you not!! The colour range is large and there are definitely enough colours to suit one and all. Now, you're probably thinking this all sounds well and good but there must be a down side .. yes, the ONLY downside which if you can get your head around really isn't a downside is that these varnishes are priced from £14.50 eek yes, that is per bottle. The way I see it is that there shouldn't be a price on looking after your body by using kind to skin products. You could even treat yourself to one bottle a month and before you know it you have a little collection. Any product that is vegan/cruelty free and organic, which is going to take care of me is definitely worth a purchase. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My biggest problem was choosing a colour(such a girl). I definitely wanted a winter shade and a lighter shade for spring/summer so I went with colours that I would usually wear. The colours I chose were 'Noirberry' and 'Almond'. I also threw in the Strengthen and Breathe base coat for those days I'm not wearing any colour. The problem with my nails is because they're so weak they need something on them just to harden them a little, so this one is great when I go colourless. The Strengthen and Breathe base coat applies with a lovely milky shade giving the illusion of healthy nails.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A beautiful shade of oxblood, these deep reds are always a go to for me. I love this colour! The application is very opaque and you only need two coats. With regards to the wear I would say, given my job role (visual merchandiser) it's a very hands on job so I did suffer with chips after two days however by the end of the week is wasn't awful.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a beautiful soft white shade with pink undertones. With this shade I applied 3 coats as my nails have ridges and the colour looked a little patchy with only two coats.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Very recently I discovered the brand 'Lottie London' in Superdrug who I'm assuming are rather new to the scene. I certainly have never spotted them before so I was eager to try out some of their products AND they claim to be cruelty free and vegan (hoooray). The thing is when it comes to trying a new brand is that it's very easy to buy a whole lot of stuff spend a whole lot of money and not rate anything. There's nothing I hate more than wasting money on rubbish products. I really wanted to try a range of their bits without going over board because if you like the select few products you have bought you can always go back and pick up some other products.</span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first thing I went for is the Got It Covered concealer in the colour 'Shell'. There are only 4 colours to choose from which is very limiting however they are natural colours and I'm sure you're bound to find one to match. I went with the lightest shade as I'm the lightest shade with the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and I find this matches my skin perfectly. The consistency is rather thick and it blends smoothly into the skin. The coverage is medium to full and I find it covers my blemishes wonderfully. In fact, I may prefer this to the Collection one .. (shh) the tone matches my skin a lot more as the Collection one can look ashy. Even better when I checked the ingredients on CosDNA the results were amazing in that this product shouldn't break you out! How's that for only £4.95.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am definitely a lip girl when it comes to makeup because it can transform your face creating the illusion that you've tried really hard when you actually haven't. It's also a lot easier in the morning to pick a colour for your lips than to start fiddling with eye shadow and liner. So, of course I was drawn to their 'Slay All Day' lip kits (very Kylie Jenner-esque). In the kits you get a liner and a liquid lipstick which is applied with a doe foot applicator. With a range of colours </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(with awesome names)</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> you can't go wrong but seriously again I noticed these colours were VERY similar to the Kylie Jenner lip kits, clearly a lot of inspiration going on. These kits price at £8.95 which is reasonable for 2 products. You can also buy the liners and liquid lipsticks separately which cost between £3.95 and £5.95. I purchased the lip kit in 'Werk it' and a separate</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> liquid lipstick in '#TBT'.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, let me just start off with saying HOW FLIPPING AMAZING THESE ARE. When I say I put this product on my lips at 7am and they lasted until 4pm I'm not exaggerating. I put it on first thing before I'd even had breakfast - it didn't even look like I'd eaten! Through my mid morning break of a coffee and snacks and through lunch at 2pm only then did the cracks start to show and only because I kept licking my lips. Even as the product started to wear off it did it very subtly. I reckon you could reapply this and be done literally until dinner. The only thing I would say is that when first applied you can feel it hardening on your lips. It certainly is a matt which also means a little drying but do not let this put you off I totally rate them from the lasting power, to the price, the colour range <3 and the opaqueness when applied.</span><br />

No, I didn't think so either. Alex and I were incredibly lucky to go and spend a week away in Scotland staying with my mum, her partner and my brother. As they live so far away from me I don't get to see them, especially over Christmas as Christmas day was my only day off from work. I was not blessed like others with a week off for Christmas, instead I had the joy of working right up until Christmas Eve and back to work on Boxing day for another 5 days at work. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, of course I was soooo excited for December 30th because that would be my last day at work until January 10th! We got to have a super relaxing day on the 31st, and enjoyed an incredible dinner at Kyoto's Kitchen (omg insanely delicious) before commencing on the very long 7 hour drive on the 1st of January up to Paisley collecting my brother along the way. We left at 4:30am so we managed to arrive by 12:30pm giving us the rest of the day to enjoy ourselves. I won't go into too much personal detail but we got to have ourselves a second Christmas and boy did we have a wonderful time during our stay. I haven't felt that relaxed in months! We got to explore, relax, laugh, have fun and sight see. Honestly could not have had a better start to 2017 (and definitely the cheapest holiday I've ever had).</span><br />
