LIFESTYLE | Weekly Portrait #6 Birthday Edition

Today is my 27th birthday, although in my head I feel a hell of a lot younger! As I was at my friends wedding last night I am feeling a little bit hungover so today Joe and I are having one of our epic Sunday roast and watching movies all day :) Don't worry I am going to celebrate my birthday next Saturday!

The wedding was absolutely beautiful and the bride looked amazing, like a mermaid. It was really rustic and chic, the venue was superb and the food was amazing too!

Anyway I need my movie fix! Have a lovely day.

LIFESTYLE | Weekly Portrait #5

I just realised that I hadn't posted a weekly portrait yet! I'm in prep for my friends wedding on Saturday so I though I would post this picture of me in a face mask. I'm doing the mask now incase it brings out any spots.

I've been really busy the last few weeks, and my weekend was taken up by a spa day at the Reading Room Day Spa for my friends hen party, I had a deep tissue massage on my back neck and shoulders followed by a Foot Ritual. It's a hard life! We then had a lovely dinner at Hotel Du Vin in Brighton.

Any way hope you are all having a fantastic week and enjoy my rather different photo!

LIFESTYLE | Weekly Portrait #4

I did it! I finally managed to do a weekly portrait with make up on! Today I had an awesome day with Joe, we went for a browse round Brighton, which means I might have found a wedding outfit for an upcoming wedding. We also stuffed out faces and saw Dark Knight Rises. It was incredible, I can't wait till they are all in blu ray and I can have a Batman marathon!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

LIFESTYLE | Weekly Portrait #3

I promise one day I will wear make up in my weekly portrait! The sun is out today which is amazing, so hopefully it'll stay that way! Now I need to think about buying a few summer pieces. This week my younger sister is graduating and I am so proud of her so we are having a graduation dinner with a few family members. I'm also going to the Curvy Kate bloggers event this week so I will let you know how that goes! Have a good week :)

LIFESTYLE | Weekly Portrait #2

So here is my second ever weekly portrait, still haven't worked out that I need to be putting make up on, but to be honest I think I look OK.
Despite the fact that I blog regularly about beauty products, I am a strong believer in feeling comfortable in your own skin. I know not everyone is make up crazy but it saddens me when women feel that they can't leave the house with out a full face of slap on.
Yes, I wear make up quite regularly but I am also perfectly happy going out sans war paint, I think it's good to give your skin time to breathe.

Today the Olympic torch is passing through Brighton and Hove. To celebrate the Rizzle Kicks are playing a free show and I managed to get tickets. Lets just hope the weather perks up because I don't want to get wet and muddy :(

LIFESTYLE | Weekly Portrait #1

Sorry about the extra large shot of my tired mug! In future they will look better (hopefully). I've decided to start a weekly portrait for a couple of reasons, mainly because I would like to document my last 3 stone of weight loss.

So this morning Sega (one of my cats) woke me up at 7am for feeding and as I was awake I decided to write this post while catching up on Geordie Shore (I'm not ashamed, Im addicted).

Yesterday I was treated to some pampering at Dove HQ as I am taking part in the Dove Colour Radiance Challenge. I'll write a proper post about the challenge tomorrow and let you know about my day. Do you like my new ombre? It's a lot mote subtle, and I love it!

This week I will be taking over the Curlformers Twitter for Tuesday and Wednesday while I cover their latest photo-shoot, really looking forward to that, you can follow the activities on @Curlformers.
On Wednesday I am also attending my first ever launch event as a blogger! Exciting! I'm going to the Dove Colour Radiance Launch. I will post about everything.

Today I will be spending my day with my O/H relaxing and if the weather holds we will be heading down to Paddle Round the Pier.

Have a good Sunday   :)
