I’ve had this post idea for awhile and really wanted to do it. There’s no denying it and how lazy I can be and it seems the older I get the lazier I become. doing this is helped me realise some hacks, some hacks which I think is a really clever and can help save so much time

 If I can get something done quicker and easier than I planned, I will do it. I’m all about cutting corners doing things effectively so little hacks I’ve picked up have helped save so much time for me while still getting what I need done.


On days I can’t be bothered to wash my hair - dry shampoo is my lifesaver! But I found if you put on your hair the night before then you don’t have to do in the morning as it has had a night to soak in, making your hair look perfectly matte. This has save me so much time in the morning as my hair only need styling so I can get out the door quicker.

 I’m not a morning person in the slightest so every morning I struggle to get up so what helps is preplanning the night before. I always make sure my outfit is out and ready my bag is packed for the day and my shoes are easy to reach so I can just grab them get ready and go this gives me an extra at least 10 minutes to sleep and makes mornings hassle free!

 I happens not feell a lot so I always take paracetamol but when I’m in bed and I’ve got no paracetamol around, I would rather suffer then get up. So now I keep paracetamol at the side of my bed. So convenient so I don’t have to get up to get some and if I need it for the night I can just grab it, take it and go back to sleep. This will save me so many times it’s just so convenient!

 One beauty product you need in your life is a spray. Personally I love the Mareo budesco rosewater spray. They are so universal you can use it when you’re makeup is looking cakey, when weather is hot and you just want to refresh your face, to set your make up and as a skincare stuff as this particular spray has skin benefits. When in doubt just spray it has helped me so much and I keep on me nearly all the time now.

 For some people is hacks maybe completely obvious things I do without realising it but they have made a huge difference to me and have came into my everyday life. Nothing is better than getting things done quicker by just being a little bit prepared when you can be bothered so I’ll be lazy - or as I prefer forward thinking works.

 Toning it’s such an important step I’ve noticed many people are missing in their skincare routine. It’s such a transforming step that I found has made the world of difference to my skin. There are so many different types of toners out there and finding which one to use is so hard.

 Toners can serve many different purposes. They are there to help remove excess dirt, traces of oil and makeup, correct and balance the pH of your skin, and helps control acne. By helping to clean and close pores, it's specially beneficial for acne-prone skin. People don’t realise that these they can help your skin this much. This is where I’m here to help.



 To start with you can either choose a micellar water or a toner and these are both different. According to google - The micellar water is a product which does it all: it removes the makeup on the face (including the eyes) and it cleans the face.The toner is used to clean the face, after the makeup has been removed and helps balance the pH of your skin with different ingredients. You get whatever will fit your skin. the garnier micellar water is my personal favourite if you micellar water

 Onto toners now. There so many options on the market - high street or luxury! I personally think toners are worth investing as they’re full of ingredients that help your skin ever so much. They’re like a hidden gem that are so overlooked but make such a different and they all have so many different purposes.

I want to show some of my favourite toners new type of toner I’ve been trying recently is a gel toner and I am losing so much. My favourite one is The body shop British Rose Petal-Soft Gel Toner. It’s a gentle and soothing toner with real rose petals in that adds instant softness to the skin. This makes applying moisturiser so much smoother and feels amazing. It’s like no other toner I’ve tried before and my skin loves in the colder weather.

 For a hydrating toner, I love the Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic. This is also a rose based which gives my skin the hydration it needs helping refresh and brighten! This feels like such a luxury product to use as it’s got such a delicate floral smell and the smallest bit blesses all the skin! I love using this.

 Finally onto something I’ve no adventured more into hit acid toners. I have tried the Pixi glow tonic but there are plenty out these. This kills the dead cells on the skins surface to help Your skin glow & have a radiance about it! My skin loved this and it helped so much improve the texture of it - I used this so much.

 Trying a more educational take to a skincare post was exciting for me. I love sharing my knowledge which is by no means as good as anyone but mixing my opinions into it which I enjoy a lot. I love skincare and sharing my opinions with you guys Is exciting.

 I love Easter as it’s such an amazing holiday - chocolate and religion. It brings family together and one of my favourite collaborative things - Easter baking. It’s been a seasonal thing for me and every year I’ve kept up with it - doing posts and sharing my creations!

I’m excited to carry this on as I’ve had this idea on my mind for a long time. Mini eggs are my favourite Easter chocolate and I just love making cheesecakes as they taste so much better homemade - combining the both is just a win win and I wanted to share my delicious creation and hope it inspires you all to make it.



Ingredients ~ 


• 250g of disgestive biscuits
•  
100g of melted butter
•  1 tbsp of vanillas extract
•  600g cream cheese
•  100g icing sugar 
• 284ml pot of double cream 

For the topping

•  1 bag of mini eggs
• Flake or some soft chocolates

 Method ~
 * To make the base, line a loose-bottomed tin with baking parchment. Put the digestive biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, then pour over the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated.
 * Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr to set firmly so you’ve a clean soft base.
 * Place the cream cheese, icing sugar and the vanilla extract in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Tip in the double cream gradually and continue beating until the mixture is completely combined.
* spoon the cream mixture onto the biscuit base, starting from the edges and working inwards, making sure that there are no air bubbles. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessert spoon or spatula.
 * To decorate, add the mini eggs in a pattern on the top, carefully placing them on so there’s a pattern.
 * Leave to set in the fridge overnight.
* Bring the cheesecake to room temperature about 30 mins before serving. To remove it from the tin, place the base on top of a can, then gradually pull the sides of the tin down. Slip the cake onto a serving plate, removing the lining paper and base.

 Baking is so fun and I love sharing it with my friends and family when they enjoy my treats. Showing it on my blog is like the cherry on top. I love doing baking posts and hope to do more - sharing my creations and hopefully Inspiring you guys to bake too! You can see from the photo my base didn’t go too well and I need to spend more time on it.

The weather is warming, the sun is coming out! I’m so glad to see how the overall atmosphere is improving and it’s finally making being outside more enjoyable and as per a change in my everyday makeup routine occurs! I can see instantly how I’m gravitating to new makeup I haven’t wore in awhile now and I’m loving it. Being able to wear my favourite makeup again that’s seasonally appropriate is the best and helps me discover my love for it all over again

 my most used foundation that will bring me into spring has to be the makeup revolution foundation. It has such a good buildable coverage but is light enough on the skin so as the sun comes out it still lasts. This has became one of my favourite drugstore foundations as if lasts and has amazing coverage.


 Spring is all about blush. I never usually wear blush but more and more I’m trying to get into it do I’ve been trying to experiment with creams so this bare minerals blush is a gorgeous bright shade which pops so softly on your cheek. It blends so nicely into the skin and doesn’t Disturb my foundation which is a bonus! I love the consistency and how soft it looks.

 benefit bad gal bang mascara is the best mascara I’ve ever used and this hasn’t changed. it’s blown every other mascara I own out of the park as it’s such an amazing formula that does so well for my lashes. It gives them so much volume and length so they look false. My life was changed from using this as it helps make my face just look complete - I couldn’t live without it.

 The Barry M Crushed Jewel cream eyeshadow in the shade pillow talk has to be a favourite. Cream products are so much easier when the weather warms up and this is such a soft and gorgeous shade! It warms your eyes up whilst looking super sparkly. The packaging is gorgeous. I love the sleek matte black lid and the way the metallic comes though.

 Finally is my latest most amazing, best kept secret - the Primark highlighter in ‘brunch club’ I’ve never seen such an amazing highlighter as this for £2.50. The price shocked me considering how much pigmented and how glowy this is - I think it has to be holy grail. The product is exactly what you would want and need in a highlighter

 This is the first sign of spring and I can’t wait to use these products all throughout and transition to summer. Seasonal makeup is always some of the best as the season just enhances the product I can’t wait to try new beauty bits.

Blogging is one of my favouriyr things to do. It is so exciting and I think it’s so fun to write posts for people to enjoy and read them - but when no one is reading your posts it can be really disheartening. Everyone knows what it feels like wether it’s the start of your blog or a droit. so i try keep my traffic boosted all the time. It’s not as easy as you think - blogging can be so hit and miss i have noticed even more over the past year. sometimes blowing up for no reason which is even more exciting!

As I’m not a huge blogger, compared to who I read, I’ve found these tips help my blog stay afloat with consistent views. As a blogger you need to devote so much time to promoting yourself and your posts. The best way is Twitter for me and it is so important you you can get yourself out there in the blogging community - as it’s so huge, you can dive right in! Use social media like twitter, Pinterest and instagram to get your posts out there by sharing them and people will find your blog and enjoy it leading to them reading most posts. I am currently experimenting with Pinterest but Twitter is my main source if views.


 When blogging, I find it’s so important to keep a constant flow of content! I love having new posts to read by my favourite bloggers and seeing them constantly posting makes me wanna read them more, because when you enjoy something you can just dive right into their blogs, i know I always try be original with posts or just stay in the same niche to get people to want to read your posts continuously and will become loyal readers. I post once a week, tends to be on a Saturday - if you have a schedule your views tend to know when you are posting so will expect it and be ready. You do notice such an increase in views when it’s from loyal readers and they interact too. Twitter is a great place to build a following with readers who do return.

Joining blogger support places like Pinterest boards or twitter threads are so amazing! They are a way to read people’s posts and find new bloggers but also put yourself out there. You can even start your own. I find the more of these I do, I can see my traffic growing though people checking out my posts from them and it is such a good way to support other bloggers too. There are twitter accounts such as @theclique_UK, @TeacupClub_, @BloggersHut and so many more

In the blogging community, one of the key features I think is supporting each other. Everybody’s in the same boat - everyone is writing amazing posts and we all want to share our blogs. It is such a amazing feeling seeing what you have achieved on your own blog and we are all doing the same thing so why not show each other love? as obvious it is my sound, One of the key principles of blogging really goes down to support each other. Leave comments on other peoples posts, tell them how much you enjoyed the post. This Kindness really does go a long way and bloggers tend to return it back on your blog.

We all know views are not the priority but, getting  them on your posts helps motivate you so much - you feel like you’re trapped in a dead end when you don’t have a steady view set. I felt like this for so long but seeing people enjoy your posts is the best feeling. I love knowing I am increasing traffic organically as is so important and can determine the mood for the blog - I wanted to help people in ways I do! These tips have helped me so much and I’ve built them up over the past few years!

 My last skincare routine was six months ago and I never realised how much I rotate my favourite products. I can’t go to about doing my skincare in fact I do it at least twice every day and so I realise what products work my skin quickly and some of them just become holy grail, changing my routine.

 Skincare is so important and looking after your skin will benefit you so much a long run as you only have one skin - so it’s so worth taking care of it and investing in it this has been taught to miss from such a young age and I have such a love for skincare, i’m really into it. I want to show my routine to show what products work for me and my holy grail at the moment.

 So to start with on a morning, this product hasn’t changed, yet again! I wash my face with my favourite face wash the L’Oréal pure clay detox & Brighten cleanser. I have been using this for so long and I love it - the way it foams up and makes my skin feel so soft and refreshed in a morning which of exactly what I need.

 Next I tone with a new and recent favourite pixi glow tonic. I did it with a high post about this and I fell in love and completely got why everyone loves it ever since I’ve used this every day, day and night on my skin and it’s made such a difference to the texture and giving me the glow that I want. Unfortunately I’m nearly out so it’s time to purchase the full-size.

For my moisturiser, due to the colder months I’ve gone back to using diprobase because my skin gets so dry and this is one of the only things that keeps it under control - it hydrated my skin whilst leaving it feeling soft and dewy looking. My doctor l recommended I use this on my skin and it’s done me no harm whilst I’ve been using as it’s for eczema and dry skin conditions it works perfectly as a moisturiser for me.

 Onto my night routine now, i start by taking my makeup off with Clinique take the day off cleansing balm. This is one of the most amazing makeup removers where only a small amount can take off a full face and yes became a long time favourite. I feel like my makeup melts off when they hits my skin and It leaves it feeling clean and soft so it’s a perfect product to use!

  Next I have to double cleanse! Even though most my makeup comes off, I always seen it’s not all been wiped so I follow it with the elmis cream cleanser! This had the softest nicest scent and leaves my skin feel so good and I’ve continuously used it and I’m still on the first bottle I’m amazed. It’s like a lovely luxury product I get excited to use as it gets all my makeup off, and my skin is left completely clean.

 I tone again with the same Pixi Glow Tonic and ur continues to preform miracles on my skin. Finally

for moisturiser, I have a prescription one from the doctors as my skin breaks out bad so this helps control it. I’ve used this for a long time and it’s helped so much - I use it every night and it’s a gel texture. I’ve come to like it and it’s a staple in my routine as I need it.


  My routine is something I value as I love my skin, I want it to be clear, soft and glowing - which this routine is helping me achieve. I love finding holy grail products and I keep discovering more and more - just always reach for them. couldn’t recommend these products any more they are so worth buying
