With a new year comes new resolutions. I have never been one to stick to them, I mean at most I'm lucky to stick it out for two months! So instead of making possible breakable New Year resolutions, I'm mixing it up and you should too by doing things for you, your way!

Start Living In The Now
Forget about the past, certainly work towards the future, but focusing on the now is more important. Set out your plan be it daily and focus on new positive things in your life that make you happy. 

Ignore what others are doing
Live for you not for others, worry about what is on your plate, it is easy to become engrossed with others, but striving for your own achievements no matter how big or small is a reward in itself. I am all about girl power and 100% in supporting others dreams and goals, but support you first!

Cherish your friendships
Friendships, true friendships do not come around often and I have to say that I've got a great support network, even though over the years it has got smaller, but that is all part of the growing up process and I like my smaller network. This year i'm giving back to those friends and cherishing them more than ever. 

End toxic relationships
Nothing like bad relationships to bring you down, with a new year comes new hope. So end and erase toxicity or kill it with kindness.

Make yourself a priority
A must this year as a dear close friend said to me, I am going to be less mum and more ME and I like that I feel that sometimes as parents or not we can get a little lost and everything or everyone else can take over us. So this year I am throwing caution to the wind and Mummas gonna get her groove back to be a better me.

Focus more on work
Last year was the year I wanted to focus more on my blog, but unfortunately due to life, I had to put it on the back burner. I am fortunate to be able to have a blog and such incredible amazing followers, but this year I want to start stepping up my blogging game and bring your more content, amazing content, I am even starting my own Youtube channel so follow me to keep posted on my first video. This year I will also be upping my Instagram game. Currently just over 7k mark, and my goal this year for the first quarter I want to hit 10k so why not head on over and give me a follow. 

Thank you to you all for your amazing support throughout the last 2 years and here are too so many more.

OUTFIT DETAILS






It's time to shop till you drop, or on a better note in the comfort of your own home this festive period.... Is it me or do you find that the sales start earlier and earlier each year and can become a little bit overwhelming and I must confess I hate going into stores, I steer well clear of Oxford Circus, I don't fancy being in that concrete jungle anytime soon, elbowing my way through childless and with the right footwear on to run and nab those pair of vinyl trousers i've been lusting over!

Instead I am shopping from the comfort of my own home armed with the left over festive booze, nothing like a little drunken (just a tad) shopping to encourage me to overfill my basket! So with my feet firmly propped up, it was time for me to get down and dirty to shop the New Years sales to peruse the web so you don't have to.

I have linked a few of my fave items from my fave stores for you, family and friends.

Enjoy! Let me know what you snap up in the comments below. x

With snowy weathers, a girls night out and twinning pj's there are so many must have favourites this week to get us all in to the festive spirit.

Girls night out and work Christmas parties all kicking off over the next few days, you are going to need something to wear! Who better to go and see and shop like crazy with, than the super affordable brand SheIn! I snapped up this peplum and matching pant set for the festive period, costing me less than £20!


Prepping your skin is vital, especially when the weather changes and MINTD have your skin protected and help keep it healthy and moisturised, plus look at its darling packaging, which also makes for a fab Christmas present for a special someone.


What better way to keep you and your family warm than some matching PJ's over the festive period.


When the kids are in bed, why not whip up a batch of my boozy bailey's chocolate mousse and kick back on the sofa and enjoy.


What have been some of hot favourites this week?

Share them with me in your comments below.

Gloomy wintery weather should not get you or your skin down!

With the recent snowfall, slush, rain and harsh weathers, you are going to need to protect your skin more than ever, don't let this weather bully your skin, bully it right back with a little help with MINTD!

It is important to change your skincare routine, keep it guessing I say, as well as keeping it protected! Think of it like how you change your clothes each season, you need to change your beauty routine each season and every month MINTD helps repair, protect, nourish and hydrate your skin. 

Winter is notorious for leaving our skin dry and flaky and can even make you sick, by lowering our immune system, but with some MINTD love, there’s no better time to do some damage control with a few indulgent skincare products.


An inhalation essence by De Mamiel is the perfect winter treat to help clear your head, refreshes the mind and soul. A few drops on to a piece of tissue and a few deep inhalation breaths will have you feeling calm and relaxed and help clear you, especially after a commute to work or preparation to relax your mind after a long day or flight. Perfect size for carrying in your bag, plus it is a naturally potent immune booster and pick me up. 


You look at this African Botanics Marula Face Mask and think that this looks like any normal clay mask, and why on earth would you want your skin to dry out in winter months, you are wanting moisture put back into it. But this soothing and intoxicating aroma mask is anything but, a thin layer is all that is needed, as it is ultra moisturising, does not dry hard whatsoever and after leaving for 5-15 minutes then rinsed off with warm water your skin is left dewy, firm and hydrated. 


Don't be afraid to use oils, I know some people are a little dubious about face oils, but honestly there is nothing better, especially in the winter month's for an injection of much-needed protection and hydration and Votary a brand that I have been coveting since it launched, had me feeling like Christmas came early as I was ecstatic to find in this months box. Votary, a British brand pride themselves on using unique blends of pure natural oils and powerful botanicals, the Jasmine and Calendula facial oil is a simple mix of excellent oils such as Rosehip, Calendula and Immortelle and it is incredibly calming and lovely and light, which makes it suitable to be used day and night. 


Our skin becomes more vulnerable in the winter months and same for our eyes too, they can become more prominent in wrinkles and without the help of moisture, you under eye area would lose its plumpness. Thanks to Skin Laundry this mighty saviour eye cream helps plump and reduce those pesky dark circles, due to the combination of peptides, vitamins, and extracts which work to increase elastin synthesis and boost skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration.


This brilliant Balmessence Lip Treatment from Oribe is a godsend, for those who suffer or not from chapped lips, is delicately packed with Camelina oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants helping to bring life and moisture into your lips. 


MINTD evokes a feeling of luxury, decadence and indulgence that is mood altering, skin rejuvenating and they are worth every penny.

Have you tried any of these products? How will you be keeping your skin hydrated these winter months?
