Hey dolls,
Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here. YAY
Today I wanted to share with you how I stay motivated. This isn't necessarily just to do with weight loss, I adapt the same ideas to most aspects of my life when trying to stay motivated and positive.
Rule No. 1-Think of the bigger picture!
Sometimes we take on so much that it can get quite overwhelming. In these situations we focus on the now too much instead of the end result. I can relate to this on my levels when it comes to my weight loss journey. I find myself concentrating too much on the current situation or my current mood. It could be the bar of chocolate I want to eat for comfort reasons, or I am disappointed if I haven't lost weight in a particular weigh in. This is when I have to think to myself and reassure myself that I need to look at the bigger picture and focus on the end result and how far I have come already.
Rule No. 2 - Be positive & grateful!
I constantly write gratitude lists and try to be as positive about every situation and possible. I find being grateful for the things I have, makes me even happier when I get what I worked hard for. I am a sucker for list writing and I also write down what I want to achieve and set goals for myself constantly. This helps motivate me even more and work harder for the things I really want. I also find the power of positive thinking and the law of attraction helps keep me going as I am forever telling myself what I want is so achievable, I just need to work towards it. I always remind myself, if I want it bad enough I will get it.
Rule No.3 - Never give up!
Sometime we take on too much and end up dropping out or letting go of something we were once so passionate about. I always find the work in between what you want and what you actually achieve is very hard. To quote a Miley Cyrus song, haha, its always gonna be an uphill battle! Which is true, the hardest part is the way up but once you reach the top, the skies the limit! Whenever I feel like quitting I always remind myself of why I started in the first place.
There has been several times in my life when I felt like quitting, all through university I felt like giving up and dropping out. I just kept pushing myself and got there in the end. I was so happy I didn't quit and got my BA degree in the end.
Remember, everything seems so much harder when you are in the midst of it but once you get there and reflect, you see that you where a stronger person for not letting it get the better of you.
The main reason I stay motivated in terms of weight loss is because I fell a million times better about myself, my clothes all look so much better on me now and I am motivated everyday by my amazing followers who constantly remind me that I am inspiring them to do the same.
I want to thank you all for your continued love and support. I am not gonna stop now and neither should you

Hey my dolls,
TGIF is right and today I want to share with you some AMAZING, high quality makeup at an affordable price. Sleek is by far one of my favourite drug store makeup brands. I have been using it for years, evenmwhen it was only available in the UK. Every time I visited London I was always straight to Superdrug to stock up on my much loved Sleek products.
On Tuesday, I was kindly invited by the Publicity Loft to the official launch of Sleek Makeup here in Ireland. Although it has been on the shelves of many Boots and pharmacies, we never really had a proper welcome party for the brand. I was delighted with the lovely invite and was very impressed with the event. It was so cutesy and welcoming and I knew so many bloggers and vloggers that attended. It was like a nice night out for us girls to mingle over cupcakes, Rosé and makeup. Three of my faves haha.
As the event came to an end and we all said our goodbyes, Emily from the Publicity Loft presented me with a gorgeous goodie bag. She also sent me home with a box of macaroons and an absolutely beautiful flower arrangement. If you follow me on Snapchat I am sure you have seen it by now.
Anyway, I wanted to share some of the fab products Sleek Makeup has to offer us lovely Irish bunch. Check out your nearest Boots or pharmacy to see if they stock Sleek or check their website.
The I-Divine Palette €9.99 Buy Here
I-Quad in Midnight Blues - €7.49 Buy Here
I-Quad in Moroccan Myrrh - €7.49 Buy Here
Face Form Contouring in Medium - €12.99 Buy Here
Brow Perfectors in Light & Dark Brown €5.99 Buy Here
Matte Me lipgloss in Rioja Red - €6.49 Buy Here

Hey dolls,
So many people have been asking me what skincare products I use and I have wanted to write a review on my fave for the longest time. I have featured Kinvara Skincare on my YouTube Channel and on my Instagram but never gone in dept on the range before.
I started using the Active Rosehip Day Cream last June when SoSueMe gave me a pot to try. I always trust Suzanne with her recommendations because she knows her stuff when it comes to beauty. After I finished the day cream I knew I had to repurchase it and also wanted to try the Rosehip Face Serum as Sue had said it was one of her desert island products. Kinvara also sent me their award winning Absolute Cleansing Oil to try out.
I have been using these three products daily and I have to say I am obsessed. They not only smell so divine, they are so refreshing and nourishing on my skin. Each product has its own unique smell and is infused with so many organic ingredients. The thing I love about all the Kinvara products is the way my skin feels just after I have applied them. My skin always feels so soft and the products are so luxurious, I feel like I've been for a facial everyday.
Lets get into each product indiviually.
Active Rosehip Day Cream - €24
It is clear from the list of ingredients that Kinvara only use the best and most natural. I read on the Kinvara website that they love the old adage that, 'Food is medicine'! So if 93% of their ingredients are from edible food source, then it says a lot about their products.
Rosehip Face Serum - €28

Active Rosehip Day Cream - €24
This baby is by far my favourite product from the range. It smells of lavender which if one of my favourite scents, it also leaves my skin feeling like silk without any residue left on my skin. I can apply my foundation almost immediately after apply this cream and it provides an even canvas so that my foundation glides on flawlessly.

Rosehip Face Serum - €28
This face serum is unlike any serum I have ever tried before, it is so fresh and packed full of amazing fruit extracts and essential oils, it leaves my skin so smoothe and refreshed. I use it twice daily before my face cream and sometimes, this alone is enough to hydrate my skin. I sometimes apply two pumps of the serum on days when my skin is looking a little dull. By morning it is glowing and plump again.
I cant rate this serum high enough. It is so amazing.
Absolute Cleansing Oil - €20
After featuring this cleanser in my January Favourites video the Kinvara team contacted me to let me know I wasn't using the product correctly and to get the most from this product you are supposed to use it on damp skin, massage it in for a minute or two and rinse off with warm water and a face cloth. Since then this product has been a game changer. I have never found a cleanser that removes a full face of makeup and removes the Inglot waterproof eyeliner and the Benefit They're Real mascara so easily. This absolute cleansing oil breaks down everything and removes all dirt, oils and makeup in minutes. It use this with the Nima Mitt and it makes taking my make up so much more of a pleasure than a chore.
Hands down best makeup remover I have ever used.
If you are looking to change up our skincare routine and invest in some good quality products that your skin will thank you for, then I recommend trying out Kinvara Skincare. It gets two massive thumbs up from me and I can't see myself changing my skincare products anytime soon.
As long as Kinvara keep making them I will keep buying them.
I hope you liked that review and let me know in a comment if you have tried any of these products.
Love
