What's in my make up bag / Rome edition

Tristan, his two friends and I are leaving on our holiday to Rome in a few hours. I've never been to Italy, I am really excited as I have read that Rome is beautiful at this time of the year. It will be quite hot (about 30 degrees) and I am sure we'll be doing a lot of walking around the city. Heat and make up don't always work well on my oily skin but I just couldn't resist not taking any make up with me.

I won't be wearing much make up during the day but we will still go out in the evenings, so it would be nice to give my eyes a bit of colour. I recently bought a Barry M Shadow & Glow Summer Love Palette for £7. It was such a bargain and the palette is made up of beautiful summer colours. I'll be using this once we reach Rome and will be reviewing it later.
 
My L'Oreal Nude Magique Anti-Redness CC Cream will be coming with me to give my face a bit of coverage when I need it. I've not used it very much so far, so I'm hoping it is useful. It gives skin a natural tone and helps to neutralise the appearance of redness. I can get a perfect nude look with lightweight coverage using this cream. To keep my make up in place, I will be using a Foundation Primer by Laura Mercier. I won't be taking a bronzer or powder with me as I am on the hunt for a new one - I will definitely keep an eye out for make up products in Rome.

Eyebrow pencils, mascaras, concealers, lip pencils and lipsticks are also essentials in my make up routine. I like to keep my make up basic when I am travelling, I think I am more about looking after my skin. I love to pamper my hair and skin before and during my holidays.

If you guys have any tips or recommendations on what to do and see in Rome, feel free to leave me a comment! Which are the best places for shopping? I would love to add some new products to my make up collection!

    Great products - I wish I could get away with wearing a CC cream haha. I went to Rome a few years ago and just basically went to all of the main tourist landmarks. I absolutely loved it so I hope you enjoy and I look forward to maybe seeing some pictures x

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 ...
