May Birchbox - Great Outdoors

Harper's Bazaar have teamed up with Birchbox to create this exclusive collection for this month's beauty box. I love the look from the outside - totally fashionista!



Inside there is also a beauty guide which includes insider product tips from Harper's Bazaar beauty director Sophie Bloomfield.



I opened the box with great expectations and I didn't need to be disappointed.


Liz Earle Beauty Co. Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser - From £13.25 

The creamy botanical based cleanser combines moisturising cocoa butter, eucalyptus essential oil and rosemary. This cleanser lifts make-up and dirt off the skin's surface without over drying. It also comes with a 100% cotton muslin cloth which helps buff away dead cells for extra glowy skin. It is award winning and is for all skin types. It can be used morning and evening. This is a sample size - 30 ml.




Benefit Cosmetics They're real! Mascara - £19.50

This mascara adds both volume and length to all types of lashes. It gives them a more natural effect, providing separation and length without clumps. This is my second product from Benefits and I am super excited to try it. It came at the right time as I desperately needed new mascara!



Soigné Nail Lacquer - £11

It is a French nail polish brand, the colour I received is Persimmon. I really love the bottle, it looks so elegant. It is a full size bottle (10ml) and I will definitely make a small review about it soon.



Aromatherapy Associates Revive Morning Bath & Shower Oil - £39

Mine is a sample size - 3 ml. This bath and shower oil is a blend of pink grapefruit, rosemary and juniper berry, which will soften the skin and uplift the mood. Only a capful of this oil will do the work and before a shower it is great to smooth it over the body. It smells very strongly - almost like a fragrance which you could just wear as a perfume.



Beauty Protector Protect & Shampoo, Protect & Condition - £14 each

Both of these products are sulfate and paraben free. It suits all hair types, adds shine, volume and gives good UV protection for your hair. Shampoo and conditioner can be used daily, keeping hair healthy and protecting colour. 



I am once again very happy with the Birchbox I received. It has been worth the money so far.

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
