2015 Favourites

2015 has been huge and to finish it off I wanted to share a few of my favourite things from the year.

New Year's Eve Make Up Look

New Year's Eve is all about the glam so I wanted to design a look that was big, smokey and full of lashes and sparkle. 

Merry Christmas | 2015

Merry Christmas! Just a quick post from me today to send you my well wishes. I hope you are having a wonderful day with your family or friends. I've spent the day with my family, eating delicious cooking and sharing gifts. 

Enjoy the break (if you have one) and take the time to remember all that you've accomplished this year. It's time to relax and recharge. 2016 is sure to be a big one!

Christmas Traditions

All families have a range of different Christmas traditions! Here are a few of mine:

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies | Christmas Recipe

Christmas is the perfect time for baking and an extra perfect time for cookies! These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies taste like brownies and look so pretty. They're also very simple to make. I found this recipe on Pinterest (you can see what I'm pinning here) and it is from simplyrecipes.com. With this recipe I was able to make 24 cookies.

Christmas at Lush | 2015

Lush is my favourite store to visit and I was incredibly excited to see their Christmas range. Here is what I picked up:

Beauty To-Do List

Anyone who dances or has danced at a studio will know how busy the end of the year gets. Dance concerts are a huge affair and a lot of time and effort goes into them. Mine is this weekend! With all the rehearsals and preparation, I haven't been taking care of my skin or hair. I'm definitely noticing a difference. So here is my beauty to-do list (plus a couple others) to complete once it is all over: 

Summer Dressy Casual | Outfit of the Day

This outfit is perfect for Summer dressy casual functions. I love wearing white during the warmer months and this skirt is very comfortable. This outfit keeps you cool and is super pretty. 

Banana Mango Smoothie

Smoothies are a great option when you want to throw something together quickly. This smoothie recipe is perfect for breakfast during Summer!

Getting Back Into Reading

When I was younger I really enjoyed reading. I'd always have books lined up under my bed in the order I wanted to read them and would steadily work my way through. Then when I hit high school I got busy with coping with a totally different environment and I often had a book to read for English assignments anyway. By the end of high school I wasn't even finishing my novels for my exams because I didn't enjoy the material I was given and I felt as though I had no time. 

Everyday Make Up Look

Today I'm sharing a make up look that you can do every day. It generally takes me 10-15 minutes to do and is super simple.
