Here are my answers to Jess' questions (thanks for nominating me!)

1. If you could improve your blog, how would you improve it?
I'm never happy with the layout so I'm constantly tweaking it here and there, I don't think I'll ever be completely happy with it! I'd also love to interact more with people on posts, it means I can learn what people like to read via feedback.

2.How often do you post? Once a day, every other day? Why?
I'm quite an irregular poster although every now and then I will schedule lots of posts and be organised for a bit but usually I try to post about 3/4 times a week. At some point I'd love to have a proper schedule, ie certain posts on certain days (FitnessFriday thanks to Sam for example)

3. What made you passionate about blogging?
I had a beauty blog before this and it was thanks to my friend Amii that I got into blogging. I saw it as such a good hobby and something to focus on. After I decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle, I thought what better way to document it than by creating a healthy blog. I still post beauty posts and also include fashion and lifestyle every now and then.

4. How long have you been blogging for?
I started this blog in February this year :)

5. What are your favourite kind of blog posts?
I love reading about hauls, fitness related posts and healthy alternatives to certain foods.

6. What is your everday makeup routine?
The past couple days it's been so hot that I've not even bothered with makeup but usually it's moisturiser, BB Cream, powder, blusher, eyeliner, mascara and lippie (love a red lip).

7. If you had to only use one item everyday, what would it be?
Moisturiser!

8. Who is your favourite blogger/youtuber? Why?
Blogger - I love quite a few! Youtuber is probably Tanya Burr

9. What is your favourite cosmetic brand?
I haven't tried all that many but Natural Collection has been a go to for years

10. What beauty thing do you suck at most?
Liquid eyeliner and always remembering to take my makeup off at the end of the day!

Nivea Pure & Natural Regenerating Night Cream

Oooooh eeeeeeh oooooooooh. If only this cream helped me regenerate the way I really want to. 

So my mother being the lovely woman that she is (I know you read mummy, I love you) got me some night cream after I said that I had run out of my free samples of it. It was under £3 from Boots, not too sure if it was on offer or not though.

I freaking love this stuff. It's so rich and luxurious feeling on my skin. I don't use too much of it, a little goes a long way and all that jazz. I love the wee jar it comes in, reminds me of lotions and potions my granny used to have. I'd always unscrew them, give them a wee sniff then plonk my finger in and rub it in feeling like a right wee lady.

I don't know what I can say about this apart from it's amazing. My skin feels so soft and smooth in the morning when I wake up. I've never really had any problems with Nivea products so I love them all.

How about you, do you like Nivea? This particular product take your fancy?

Soaking up my sweat and oils. Mmmmmm.

So I'm totally late to the party, as per usual, but these things are the bees knees! I got them ridiculously reduced, something like 30p in Asda during one of my many many Sunday Shopping Trips with Muj. I read loads of posts about them when they first came out and thought that because they were so cheap, it couldn't hurt to try them out.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened them up and found that they were all purple, my favourite colour! I love the wee pattern on them too. They felt quite thin but not flimsy although I was still a bit scared in case I ripped them so I was extra careful!

I decided to road test them at my sweatiest. Just after I power walked to work one morning/afternoon. That's right, for the first 5 minutes after getting to work I look like Jabba The Hutt in a sauna. After that, I've calmed down and I'm ready to sweet talk the world. Well the city. A bit of the city. You get the idea, I'm ready to dazzle!

Gotta say I was rather impressed with these! I thought they would take my makeup off along with the oils/sweat but they didn't! Well there was the tiniest bit that came off but that was own fault, I rubbed it over my face instead of patting. I've learned since then.

I think these are now going to be a makeup staple for me as I do tend to get quite an oily t-zone and well these are just perfect!

Have you tried them? What did you think of them?
