Towards the end of December I was feeling really fed up with how my eating patterns had changed, how I didn’t really care what I ate and when I ate it. Fair enough, it was the festive season and I had to give myself some slack but sorry to break it to you, there does come a point where having whatever you like everyday is just too much!

On the first of january 2017, all preppy and excited for the new year, I planned out a whole 3 month plan of eating clean, and exercising 6 days a week, and in some people’s world, this is a reality unfortunately it just wasn’t my reality. I only lasted 21 days.

Over all these years, I have been making the same New Year resolutions. To be healthy, to become more fit, get summer body ready before summer actually comes.

But whilst I was thinking about what my New Year’s resolution was going to be, I had a Kylie Jenner moment and realized that all my resolutions have been about my outer/physical appearance. Never once has it been about my internal/mental health.

I think it’s safe to say that we are all guilty for talking ourselves out of going to the gym, a run or telling ourselves that it’s okay to eat that 6^th brownie (yes, even me!).

But it’s also safe to say that those days are okay too, just in moderation and not every day!

In this Blog Post I will be sharing my secrets to getting my butt off the couch and onto the road or into the gym even when the only thing I feel like doing is sitting in front of the TV, eating ice cream, getting grumpy with myself for the fact that I am eating ice cream and not going to the gym. (Makes sense right!?)

When it comes to special occasions and important events, I love dressing up and making myself feel and look as good as I possibly could. As I’m sure everyone else does. That’s why we are always willing to go that extra mile to ensure that the big event has no disappointments, including ourselves!

But before you can enjoy not having any setbacks, It is important to understand how to prevent those from happening. It starts from within and it then proceeds to the exterior. That’s why I am here to share my prepping routine with you so our skin is perfect and our belly’s are flat and not bloated!

Estee Lauder has always been one of the make up brands that I found myself constantly going back to when I had finished certain makeup products.

Mid year in 2013, I fell quite sick and discovered myself at home quite a bit of the time – completely bored out of my mind so I tried to keep myself as preoccupied as possible but that didn’t always work. I got cabin fever so quickly and couldn’t spend more than a few hours in the house. So to take up my time I watched YouTube makeup tutorials and tried to duplicate what they did on their face, onto mine. (emphasis on tried) but with that I found a new admiration for make up.
