11. January Favourites

My first favourite this month is a black rose and cassis candle from Superdrug. I got this in December for friend to give it to her for christmas but this candle smelt so gorgeous that I actually kept it (I know very cheeky!) and gave her a jelly belly reed diffuser instead, which also smelt really lovely.

My next favourite is the Clarins hydra-matte lotion moisturiser. I have had this for quite a while now but I find I always use moisturisers more in the winter months. This moisturiser is really really moisturizing but it is meant for combination skin and I have normal skin so I am probably using the wrong moisturiser - but it is still really good!

I have been loving my Clarins anti-pollution cleansing milk, this cleanser is really good for my skin and I just love everything about it. It smells really good, feels really nice and creamy and is great for my skin!

I have also been loving the Ted Baker eau de toilette this month, I got this a while ago but I have using it a lot in January. It smells really lovely and the pink perfume looks very cute in the triangular bottle! It also lasts throughout the day and I only have to reapply it once for it to last the whole day!

My next January favourite is the Lush Santa's lip scrub. I got this for Christmas and is is really good for my lips. It also smells like coca cola, which I love! I now keep it in my bedside table and I use it every night before I go to bed! The only down side is the red hearts in the scrub, these look really cute in the tub but are really annoying to get off my lips and just kind of get stuck! But other than this I love this lip scrub!

Kiko Deko Delights lipstick, I don't know what shade this lipstick is but it is a really pretty pink shade. I purchased this lipstick at the start of this month and I have been using it loads and I always apply a quick coat before I head off to school. The lipstick is really pigmented and the packaging looks really nice as well. This lipstick is really creamy and is not too dry on my lips which is great! I apply this lipstick in the morning and I can still see the colour on my lips at the end of the day, it is great!

Thanks for reading through my January favourites, if there are any things that you have been loving this month - beauty related or not - please leave a comment below and I will be sure to read it! I hope you have had  great January and go on to have an amazing 2016!

10. Green Tea

Ok, so green tea is my new obsession.

I am sat here now writing this blog post with a cup of green tea watching the X Factor, I'm actually quite scared that I'm going to spill my tea on my laptop - X Factor makes me too emotional!

But what I really love about green tea, apart from its urge to spill all over my laptop, is that it has done wonders for my skin. I mean seriously my skin is usually breaking out in loads of spots but since I have started drinking green tea my skin has really cleared up. I mean there is still that one spot that refuses to go anywhere, even with every spot cream ever applied to it, but in general my skin is a lot better and less prone to breakouts than it used to be.

I usually drink a cup of green tea a day, which tends to be when I am relaxing on the sofa watching Netflix. On a completely unrelated note, I have just gotten into Once upon a time on Netflix after my cousin recommended it to me. I really needed a series to fill the void in my life whilst I wait for PLL Series 6B to come out and Once upon a time has done just that job and I am completely obsessed! Also, I almost forgot his but I am really enjoying watching the Netflix series Scream, it is so good and I am obsessed trying to work out who the killer is!

Anyway, back to green tea! I have found that if I drink green tea in the morning it makes me so much more awake in school, which I really need on a Monday morning! My favourite green teas are flavored, the green tea I am loving at the moment is mango and passion-fruit flavor, however you can usually find me drinking green tea with a hint of lemon.

I love green tea and I think that a big part of that love comes from the fact that green tea was the main thing I drank when I was doing my Duke of Edinburgh expedition, I find that whenever I drink green tea I find myself thinking of all the great memories I made whilst on that expedition. Honestly, if anyone is thinking of doing their Duke of Edinburgh's award then I would definitely recommend that you do it. It is a lot of work but I had so much fun, made great memories and grew so much closer to the people who were in my group!

So in conclusion, I love green tea!

9 and a half. Thinking

So, I have been doing a lot of thinking recently and I have realised I have been making my blog too serious. I mean this is meant to be fun and exciting!

Anyway, so what I have decided is that I won't be posting every Thursday and trying to keep to a strict schedule but instead I will be posting whenever about whatever I feel like. I will try to post every week, but I'm not guaranteeing anything, or I could post loads of times a week.

It will probably end up that I post on a Thursday as that is when I have the most free time but other than that my blog posts may be a bit random!

Also, this isn't the blog post I had planned that will probably end up going up sometime later this week. But I thought I would just let you know what is going on!

I know my recent blog posts have been very word-y but I thought I would just like to keep you informed on what is going on in my mind! :)

9. Keep waiting

Ok, so my post for this week will be up very soon.
I am still trying to write it now but it is taking me a lot longer than I thought!

Also I am going on my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh practice expedition this weekend, so wish me luck, I will need it!

If you follow my instagram you will also know that I have been locked out of my phone for a long time (21 days), this is almost over, I think there are about 10 days left :( so my instagram account will become active once again and I will be posting daily. You will just have to keep waiting for that :)

So, this is all for this week but don't worry I will be posting again later this week!

8. A New Beginning.

Hi! My name’s Lara.

And I’m a bad blogger. I mean I can never think of anything to write about, so my blog is a jumbled up mess of rubbish. I mean have you seen my second blog post? What a load of absolute rubbish.
Anyway, the point of this blog post is that I want to start blogging about random things. I mean I have tried to base this blog on beauty and fashion etc but I find it really hard. I mean I started this blog as a bit of fun and I haven't been getting any enjoyment out of it! Which is a bit annoying considering the amount of time that I spend working on my blog.
So basically this blog will be a bit random but I will try and do some beauty posts, so I hope you have fun reading it. And keep your eyes peeled as I have some exciting things planned for the future! :)

Lara

P.S. My instagram account is a bit rubbish at the moment as I have been locked out of my phone for about 16 days and all of my photos for my instagram account are stored on my phone and the quality on my sister's tablet is rubbish and this is the only thing that I can upload on, so that's a bit rubbish. But hopefully I will be back to uploading regularly in just over 2 weeks, so keep waiting. :)

7. My collection

So, this week I thought I would tell you about my collection of bath things that I have at the moment!

1. Lush So White Bath Bomb

Ok, I know this is a Christmas bath bomb but I bought so many of these because I love them so much that I still have one bath bomb left. I can't wait to use it as it makes my bath look so cool. It looks very simple on the outside but explodes into colour when you drop it into the bath!

2. Lush Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

So, this is another one from Lush's Christmas collection. I only bought one of these but I haven't used it yet because it smells so sweet. Don't get me wrong it smells delicious but I am not sure whether using it will make it smell even stronger which could make it a bit sickly.

3. Lush Pop in the Bath

Another Lush product, so surprising! This smells very nice and quite spring-y. The flower on top is such a cute detail and I can't wait to use this!

4. Lush Creamy Candy Bar Bath Melt

This smells absolutely amazing. It feels very creamy and just lovely. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and gorgeous. It is such a great Bath Melt! It is meant to have a pretty little flower on the top but I think mine fell off :(

5. Lush Ickle Baby Bot
This is so cute and smells very soothing, as I think it is chamomile scented. I have been waiting to try this for ages and I finally picked it up last week. But it is meant to be really good.

6. Zoella Beauty Fizz Bar

This smells so good and is such a good price as you can use it up to 8 times! I would definitely recommend this as it is just great.

6. Holiday

Sorry that this post is so late (I will be posting again on Thursday as this was meant to be last week's blog post). But I am currently near wales on holiday and the WiFi here is a bit unreliable :(


Anyway the reason my post is so late is because I have been trying to think of a new post as the blog post I had planned needs some of my things which are at home :(


So I'm sorry that this is so short but I hope you have had a great half term holiday (UK) :)
