I stated taking these Berry capsules just over a month ago and I have seen such a big different in my energy levels,  my skin, hair and nails.
Before I started taking the Juice Plus Berry Capsules I was always tired before I got out of bed in the morning. By the time the afternoon hits I was so tired that I could fall asleep on the couch for a hour. I am 27 years, that should have not been happening to me.

  3. Healthier and clearer skin
  4. Healthier and stronger nails and hair growth
  5. Healthier teeth and gums.

A New Journery



Hi everyone. It has been a while.

Since the last post that I wrote, I have been quite sick on and off. I can't seem to have enough energy to do anything. The thought of sitting down and writing a blog post is so daunting. I don't want to be negative on this blog because I see it as my happy place, where I share all the things that I love.

Today I come to you with something that I have started, so that I can improve my lifestyle and in general my health. I am not a heavy person but I am not a fit person. Someday's when I walk up the stairs I get breathless and that is not a good thing. It helps that I don't smoke.

This past week I released that I had a takeaway three times for my dinner, that is when it hit me that I need to stop and start looking after myself, because no one else is going to. I was looking up some recipes to help me kill those takeaways. When I came across Juice Plus.

I have never heard of them before. My curiosity got the better of me and I started to research more and more. Before I knew it I was on Facebook reading on how to become a Juice Plus Partner. It was all too much so I gave it a rest for a few days and had a good long think about what I am going to do next.

For those of you who doesn't know what Juice Plus is. Juice Plus is a company that supply Supplements shakes and other products to help one to loose weight. Everything that they produce is plant based. All of the supplements are made from fruit, berries and vegetable. The idea of taking all of those fruit and veg made me happy. I am not a veggie kinda person. I eat more veg then I did when I was a kid, but its still not the same.

After talking to a lovely girl that is already in the business, I still wasn't too sure what I wanted to do. After having a long think about things. I decided to make a huge step and go into the company. The way I look at it is, you live only once, you might as well make it a good one. Its only €60 to start it up and I am sure I will be able to make that back. Once I get started.

I am still very new to all of this Network Marketing Business. I am eager to learn new skill, connect with new people and have some fun along the way, and of course to make some money.

Have you heard to Juice Plus? Have any advice for me? Let me know down in the comments. I would love to hear from you.

Daily Life: Christmas Lights



Sunday the 20th was an exciting day for both Rhys and I. I had planned to go and see the lights being switched on in town as it marks the start of Christmas. I had never been to see this event. Last year I was working and don't ask me what I was doing the previous years. Rhys is old enough to stay up long enough to see these lights being turned on.

The town pulled together and raised enough money to get all brand new lights for this year, as the ones that were up for the last several years were very bad. Some of the decorations were missing bulbs, it took from the entire look. I have to say that the lights are so much better now.

All of this started around half four in the day, there were street vendors, Santa Clause to meet and many other things to do until the lights were turned on at six. Rhys wasn't really interested in any of that, not even to see Santa. He is a little odd sometimes when it comes to meeting people dressed up. It was a very cold day for all of this. In the end we got to see the lights being turned on and got to see some fireworks. It was a nice afternoon with my sister her boyfriend and Rhys. I love making great memories.






What were you up to for the weekend? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear from you.

Nails of The Day: Essence Me and My Lover Sparkle Sand Effect



Since its only 5 weeks until Christmas, its the perfect time to bring out the Christmas nail polish colours. To start off this Holiday Season early I think it calls for a festive red. I am not that much a red nail polish girl, but when it comes down to Christmas I love wearing them colours. I am kinda in between two, both are by Essence. The first one is Fame Fatal which is what I call a true true Christmas red and the other polish is called Me and My Lover. Me and My Lover is a raspberry red with some glitter. When applied it dries to a sand texture. When I got it first I didn't really like the texture of this polish as it was way out of my comfort zone. I am very plain when it comes to nail polishes as you can see.  In the end I decided to go for Me and My Lover.

Base:
As my base I used Essence The gel nail polish which I really like to use at the moment, we did get off on a rocky note at the start. I really didn't like this base coat, as I found that it peeled very easy. The more I used it the more I like it.

Top:
As my top coat I used Essence The gel nail polish, again I love this top coat. I had the same problem with this top coat and the base I didn't like it at first, the more I used it the more I loved it.

P.S I have a review of these Base and Top Coats

Q. Have you tried these polishes before, what do you think of them? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear from you.

5 Reasons why my blog hasn't grown since it launched.




Hi everyone, today I am going to share my thoughts on why my blog hasn't grown in the past three years, since I started this blog. I have been reading other people success stories, and I was trying to apply them to myself but when I started looking back I can clearly see why my blog hasn't grown. As much as it hurts for me to say that its the truth. Here are my five reason why my blog has failed!!! These are the things that I have to greatly in prove on. If I want to succeed

1. Not posting on a regular basis.

I have been very slow on writing content on my blog. I could get a wave of posing for a few days and then my motherhood will take over and I won't post for maybe a few months. I love writing but after a day with Rhys I don't feel like I want to do much at the end of the day. I have started planning my blog post and my YouTube videos so that I would be posting more regularly.

2. Posting on uninteresting things.

I find the most odd thing most interesting, and when it come to blogging, I really don't know what to blog about. Even though the cosmetics industry is so vast and so many things that I can write about. Then there is the other thing MONEY. I don't have that much money to be spending on makeup as my fist priority is putting food on the table. I have found that if you don't blog about trending topics people don't bother with your blog.

3. Not being up to date with trends.

When it comes down to cosmetics I am a very basic kinda gal. All of this heavy contouring, and baking thing has me so confused. I am kinda getting the hang of the contouring but this baking I really don't see the point. The other thing that really didn't take with me is fake eye lashes, as you may know I wear eye glasses all the time. I have short eye sight so that means that I have to wear specs all the time. As a result I find wearing false lashes just annoys me with my glasses. I have tried wearing them before and I found that so uncomfortable I don't know how girls wear them everyday.

4. Having a good camera.

I am still using my phone camera for pictures which is very to be honest, but I don't have props to go with my pictures. I have been taking a lot more notice of what other bloggers are doing with their pictures. How they are placing them and what props are popular to use.

5. Not connecting with other bloggers.

I read as many blogs as I can during the day or even when Rhys goes to bed but I don't comment of that many of them. Most of the time I really don't know what to say about the post. Other times its like a process that you have to go through before you can leave a comment and to be honest I really don't have the time for that. I really like very simple things. I am going to try and do better at this as I think this would be the biggest step to take that would grow my blog.

Q. What are the steps that you take to grow your blog? Let me know down in the comments below.

Thanks for stopping by and I will talk to you in the next one. xx

MUA romantic Efflorescence palette review.

Hi everyone.

Today I am going to review an MUA palette for you all. This palette is called Romantic Efflorescence. I believe that this pallete has been on the market for some time now. To be honest I haven't been into Superdrug in some time so I really don't know what is new and what is old, to me it's all new to me.

This MUA Romantic Efflorescence palette retails for €5.15 in Superdrug. It is the same packaging as all the other palettes they came out with. It has a clear from but instead of the casing being black it's white this time. It also comes with a double sided spounge applicator. I am just going to go through all the shades first and explain a little about each shade and then I'll give my last toughts on the whole product. The shades are as follows:



Mesmeric: is a matte skin tone shade. It is a good shade as a base or to blend out other shades, there isnt much colour from this shade.

Tempt: is a deep plum shade with some shimmer. Its little bit patchy when applied first, but easy to build up the color. Blends out nicely too.

Currupt: is a matte black shade. Its not very pigmented and applies patchy. Easy to blend.

Obsessed: is a deep brown shade with shimmer. Its more pigmented then Currupt. Its a beautiful shade that blends nicely.

Lavish: is a mid tone brown, that would nicely in the crease. Its easy to blend and a good color pay off.

Fiery: s a gold shimmery shade. Its is a very pigmeted shade

Bewitch: is a deep brown shimmer shade. Its has a buttery texture to it and it was easy to blend.

Magnet: is a matte dark grey shade. Came off a little dusty when applied first. Easy to blend out.

Exposed: is a shimmery light grey shade. It would be nice in the middle of the lid.

Siren: is a matte purple shade. Not as pigmented as the rest, patch when applied. Not as easy to build up the shade.

Reveal: is a shimmery nude shade that would be perfect as a brow bone highlight.

Captivae: is a matte brown shade, which would work lovely in the crease for more defonetion. Easy to blend out.

Over all I really like this Romantic Efflorescence palette, It has a good amound of shadows that are really nice, some of the shades are not that great. I would recomment this palette to my friends. I would give it a 8 out of 10. The look that I created with this palette that I showed in my video, the result from that is: the shadows stayed on all day long. They didn't fade or budge, It was just as good as when I first applied them, that is why I give is palette an 8/10.

That is it guys, I hope you have liked this review, its was short and sweet, if you would like to see this review in evern shorter time check out my channel.

Q. Have you tired any of the MUA products before, let me know in the comments.
