February Favourites

Finally getting around to writing this... February may have one extra day but time seems to have completely escaped me.  

Brave Enough - Cheryl Strayed : I really love quote books just now, and after reading Wild I really wanted Cheryl Strayed's Brave enough, full of thoughtful, smart quotes that will leave you inspired. 

Strong Looks Better Naked - Khloe Kardashian : I am really trying to change my lifestyle, eating habits, and excersise plans. Khloe Kardashians "Strong Looks Better Naked" shows that even she has had her struggles and explains how she got on the right path. With recipes and advice, plus pictures of Khloe that are so incredibly gorgeous they will leave you inspired. 

Toni &Guy Nourish Reconstruction Mask : Nourished hair means better colour... wait thats L'Oreal. Toni&Guy's reconstruction mask leaves my hair feeling silky smooth and just so much more full of life and it smells AH-MAZING!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water : A great cleanser which is a much cheaper substitute to what I had been using and comes in a bigger bottle so last a good length of time. A gals got to clean her face properly and this stops me from reaching for those pesky face wipes. 

Urban Decay Matte Revolution Stark Naked : This was love at first swatch... Nudes are my life currently and this one is utter perfection. It glides on easily and though matte leaves my lips feeling moisturised.  

Brave Enough - Cheryl Strayed :Review

I've talked about my struggle with books last year, finding time to read was near impossible, I just didn't have a lot of spare time to give to a story.  Cheryl Strayed's Wild was the first book I picked up and it genuinely took me maybe two months to read it all.  Not because I'm a slow reader, or that I found it difficult to read, each time I picked it up I was utterly obsessed with the story, but then I'd realise the million other things I was supposed to do and it would be set to the side again.

"Wild: A journey from lost to found" is a genuinely gorgeous book, an incredibly truthful account of Cheryl Strayed's journey across the Pacific Crest Trail and what lead her there.

When I heard about Brave enough I knew I wanted to purchase it. I really loved how beatifully put together a lot of Cheryl Strayed's words were and in fact took a picture of the last words in the book and had it printed! "How Wild it was to let it be" 

This little book is full of thoughtful, smart and funny quotes. Can leave you pondering, inspired and give you words to live by. Though you can flick through it quickly its one that you want to have on hand to go to again and again.

A little ME time!

I've been working so much recently, that when I am at home I'm sleeping. So I thought I need to take a moment for myself. And just unwind.

So I ran myself a nice bath, popped in a Zoella Fresh Fizz, poured myself a peach schnapps and lemonade in my mason jar cup, got my copy of Wild, so I could finally finish those one hundred pages, propped up my I-pad and put a movie that I didn't need to pay to much attention to on. Then I fixed my hair into a messy bun and cleansed my face, then put on a Masque B-A-R - Anti-blemish mud mask.

It was bliss. Taking a minute to properly fix my little time to myself to unwind from everything. Finishing my book was great I thoroughly recommend Wild -  a journey from lost to found by Cheryl Strayed. An amazing story that took me a little longer than it should to finish but was so worth getting there. Now to watch the movie.

It's made me understand that even though life feels hectic taking a moment to focus on self care is highly imported. So remember to treat yourself, take a "selfish" moment and just get away from it all.
