There has been some serious neglect over here, and I am so sorry. Life has been tough, and I don't think I have ever really explained why properly. I have always battled with anxiety and that led me to dabble with depression, I was in a relationship with my ex partner and even though this may seem extreme to say, it was abusive. Now, i don't mean physically but mentally, I couldn't see people, I wasn't in control of my money and so many other things. If you have been there you will know. I don't want to dwell on that, but that led to me cracking, in 2016. I recognised hat it had gotten to a stage where I couldn't even pretend to mange anymore. I was put on anti-depressants and began actually fighting these feelings. Since then, I have done CBT, counseling, and even taken up mindfulness and mediation. Now that is something I never thought I would say but it has actually helped. Early in 2019 I have came off my antidepressants, and apart from a panic atta...

Hello again, I am so sorry for not being consistent it is the last thing I want. Me and Dylan started the podcast and things were going so well, until my mental health got in the way. I have been feeling ill in general for quite a while now and I though it was all down to my anxiety however, my doctor is concerned and has asked for further tests to be done. It is just a precaution, they think they know what it is so it is a wait and see game at the moment but consistent uploading might be off for a whole. We are currently working on the last few episodes of the podcast now - I am typing this as Dylan is editing a segment. So that will be up as soon as possible! I am so sorry yet again, I hope you can forgive me and I will explain more when I know more! xo

So - after a brief discussion we have decided to take it to twitter to decide who is funnier, Me or Dylan? Please hope over to twitter and give me your vote :D just to prove him wrong! Thanks :) xo

So it has been a while since I have posted anything about my tsum tsum collection, I wanted to just give you a brief update! The photo above was taken a few days ago but as you can see i have started to collect the squishies Tsum Tsums. They are in a four pack in Tesco for £2.50 and one is hidden. There is potential to get a glittery and a golden tsum tsums.

Here is another episode of Dweekast, this one is a very chatty and a little bit longer than our usual episodes but we have a very special guest! Union Jack Gamer ( Click here for his YouTube ) joins us to talk about himself, Funko Pop Vinyls and his collection! I want to say thank you so much, it was something different to what we have done before and I really enjoyed it! Enjoy! xo

So in the UK I believe this has only just come out but I have had it for a few weeks now. This is L'Oreal's new mascara. I love it!  I did talk about it in one of our Dweekast podcasts but here is a brief post if you haven't listened to that yet!

Here is a new episode from me and Dylan, this one is particularly chatty and definitely a get to know us episode! Don't forget to listen to the previous episodes if you haven't already and take part in the what's that sound?# We have the usually quickfire questions as well as the general knowledge quiz. In Dylan's special time he tries out a speech jammer - which I found particularly hilarious. Also in my little section we discuss food! Always a good topic!! Enjoy! xo

Here it is - episode two. Personally I think this is way better than the first so if you enjoyed that you will love this! We have added a new segment - 'what's that sounds?' have a go it is a bit of fun and tweet us  @Dweekast with your guesses :) Please share or tweet us to help us spread the word and to give us some feedback.

So a little while now I recieved another item as I am part of La Belle Famille - I did a video about this on my youtube channel a while ago. Basically I received a big box of stuff from L'Oreal a while ago (blog post is still up about it HERE) I thought it was a one off but a few months go they asked me to be apart of La Belle Famille. I get to try out certain products for free and in return I have to leave feedback on their website. This isn't PR just as a consumer.

Yet again I have gone quiet and it is really not intentional. Things have got to much for me recently, I have taken quite a bit of time for myself, from work and everything. I don't want to dwell on it as I think I have made positive progress. Lets just say I was offered anti depressants again and I refused. Life has it's hard times and I don't want to be reliant on anything to get me through it, I am a strong person and I can overcome it. I just need to find my own way of coping so I don't melt away. I have a few close people around me to help me, by either letting me rant to them, giving me advise or just supporting me whenever! It hasn't all been doom and gloom, these hard times have brought be and my boyfriend closer together. Of course, there has been bickering and stresses but at the end of the day we stronger because of it. Over the past year, I don't know what I would do without him, he has been a great help and support through everything. Because ...

This is another product I have been asked to test out by L'Oreal. This is their new moisturiser which has aloe water and hyaluronic acid in it. It is meant to lock in moisture for 72hrs to make your skin look fresher and give it a natural glow. This is a very light weight moisturiser which has a light aloe scent - it applies smoothly once it has sunk into the skin there is a slight filmy texture which goes away eventually, it makes my skin really soft and smooth. I use this before I apply my makeup on a morning to leave my skin hydrated and plump. On a night I use slightly more just to make sure it can soak in overnight. I wake up with silky smooth skin ready for the day. The formulation I have is for normal to combination skin - I hope they bring out other variants but watch this space. I have had a quick scour of the internet and can't see a price showing anywhere!

A tale as old as time has had a revamp - this live action version of the classic disney animation has hit hard at the box office. To most girls this film will be close to there hearts, Belle was the first Disney Princess that had a bit more substance - she was clever, a bookworm and didn't swoon as soon as she saw Gaston. Now I am not saying the Princesses that came before weren't clever but them attribute were never dwelled on for too long. If you have never seen beauty and the beast here is a brief synopsis -  A young prince, imprisoned in the form of a beast, can be freed only by true love. What may be his only opportunity arrives when he meets Belle, the only human girl to ever visit the castle since it was enchanted. (From IMDB) In the live action version you get to see more of the back story, there are extra songs and a lot more magic. I was in awe. All the enchanted furniture was beautifully edited and just as sassy as the original. I cried numerous times and l...

With Dylan being obsessed with POP! Vinyls I have had to find a new obsession of my own- and that is Tsum Tsums. They are cute little stackable versions of your favourite disney or star wars characters. Top row (L-R) Maximus, Pascale and Minnie Mouse Bottom row (L-R) Flynn Rider, Rapunzel and The Ugly Duckling So I have started with four Tangled characters, mainly because I seen Pascale - I love him, he has to be one of my favourite characters; possibly ever! Then it just kind of spiraled from there. The ugly duckling is an anomaly - he looked so lonely and has a little tear drop coming from his eye I couldn't resist! Let me know if you have any obsessions? Do you also have Tsum Tsums? Let me know who? xo

So pretty much everyone has heard of AVON but some people think it is just makeup - they have now become so much more. I have been a rep before however I have started it up again, it is for a few reasons, I like the products, it gives me something to work hard on and also it is nice to have extra money! As part of getting all setup I have opened an online store - I will pop the link HERE . Have a browse if you like something why not place a order. So even though I am up in not so sunny Sunderland - we can still get your order to you! There are always deals on delivery or even free delivery! YOu might as well have a browse! If you have any questions leave them in the comments below!

So last month - I have very nearly caught up! How exciting?! In February we received a special box. It is soooooooooo pretty! First thing we received - was the Jeanne Abthes L'eau de rose - this is a full size perfume. It is very elegant but quite strong so you have to be a big fan of rose it enjoy this. In the box is a full size bottle which retails for £20. Being honest it isn't my cup of tea but still a good product to get - if you dig it! How old do I sound though?!  Next is a face scrub for La Theore des Volcans - this is their noir eternae youth potion face scrub. The scrub is enriched with volcanic paste which help to cleanse and purify. It is also blended with anti-ageing ingredients to help plump and smooth skin. This is full size and with a hefty £26 price tag I think it si a bit steep but they feeling of my skin after was amazing. It left it unbelievably soft to the touch. We also received a hair mask from Garnier, it is part of their Honey trea...

All of today's feels.. How true though! I don't want to leave and you can't make me! Happy Sundaze!
