I have been obsessed recently with counting steps and try hard to reach 10,000 per day. I thought since i had a job where i was running around and on my feet for eight hours a day that i would reach that everyday and it would be easy. However, after counting my steps on an app on my phone i found out quickly that i barely even reach that goal, in fact i only do about 5500 steps per day. Over the past few weeks i have been making a real effort to take the stairs more and even when I'm just at home i try to walk around more every 15 minutes i try and get my steps up.  I purchased a Fitbit recently and i am so happy that i done it. The FitBit counts not only the steps you take but also the calories you burn not only when you are awake but when you sleep as well - side note - i never realised how many calories you burn while you sleep, at least a couple of hundred per night.  By wearing this 24/7 it has encouraged me to be more active and every day push myself to t

I've had a small obsession with MAC Lipsticks for a few years now and over the past month these three have the ones i have been reaching for the most! The one of top is Satin Lipstick in Pink Mouveu. This is a really lovely pinky colour - however the main reason i like this is although it is a pink colour it is not too girly and barbie like, which makes me feel more comfortable when wearing it.  This is in the satin finish which means it doesn't have that dry effect but not creamy enough that it comes of the lips quickly. This also lasts a long time even when eating and drinking so no need to continually apply it when out about which is always a bonus! This product is the Amplified Lipstick in ImPassioned. This is a lovely bright pink colour with a hint of coral running through it so it doesn't apply too bright that it looks neon.This product is really creamy which has many advantages. This product goes on really smoothy and the creamy texture me

I've always been a spray deodorant kind of person and it was always just what we bought in our house - for a long time i didn't even know that stick deodorants were a thing. I was browsing through the drugstore about a year back and they were having a huge sale on stick deodorant so i bought a few to try and i find them to be so much better than the spray ones. I never found myself smelling throughout the day when using the spray ones however, after a workout it became noticeable - after changing to the stick deodorant i haven't noticed a smell even after a very hard workout. Another reason i find them a lot better is that i find that they last a lot longer than the spray ones - i can use the stick one for at least three months before it runs out whereas the spray i was having to buy a new one at least every month. A lot of people i speak to about using a stick deodorant always pull a face and think it is disgusting and i can never understand why? At

COLAB Dry Shampoo is my holy grail product and one that i would struggle to live if i didn't have it - excuse the dramatics. I have very long hair and struggle to find the time to wash, dry and them straighten it on a daily basis and it just take way too long! So i rely a lot of dry shampoo to get me through those days where you know you should have probably washed your hair but just could not be bothered - i hope everyone has them a not just me! The Co Lab product range was founded by the lovely Ruth Crilly from A Model Recommends. I first heard of it from many Youtubers who had raved about if for a while. However, at the time i thought i was happy with the Batiste Dry Shampoo that i had been using and really thought that it was a good product. I came across this product in Superdrug and decided to try it out as it was cheaper than my normal one, i took it home used it that day and the rest was history as they say! The reasons that i like this product a lot more t
