The Body Shop Honeymania Lip Balm

I never used to use lip balms, as luckily most of the year my lips don't suffer. But for the occasions they do, this lip balm works wonders. 

This is the Body Shop Lip balm in Honey, and this is like a little pot of lip heaven. It smells amazing, it has that sweet, honey smell without being too overpowering or too smelly. 

Its got a really nice consistency and isn't sticky on your lips or fingers, once you've applied it. 

I love that it's in a handy little pot, that is not only cute, but fits perfectly in any handbag, or make-up bag.

Becoming a 'Youtuber'

As I'm sure many of you are aware, there are hundreds of people taking to YouTube to share their lives and fashion advice with us, giving us great fashion tips, make-up must haves, and life lessons and advice. I have watched, and at times re-watched, some of my favourite You-tubers (The one I love most has to be Velvetgh0st), each time wanting more and more to be able to do what they do. I am undeniably interested in make-up and fashion, and love seeing the latest must haves, for me to scurry to the shops and buy, and would love more than anything to become, in my eyes, a 'Beauty Guru'. This for me isn't something I will see as a career path or I am just doing to be 'Famous' but more for a relief from uni work, and a little extra fun, something I can get involved in, that's just for me. I have wondered, however, how you even get started, what camera to invest in, how to get 'noticed' what do people actually want to see, and of course the self doubting questions of 'will I be any good?' 'Will anyone actually like me?'

I am writing this as a call for help, for advice on how to get started, more than anything else, and to see whether any of you fellow bloggers, are wondering the same as me?

Memory jar of 2014

Recently, I have seen a lot of people on Instagram, upload pictures of decorated jars with the title 'Good moments of 2014' written on them, which seem to be quite a hit with a lot of people. The idea of this special jar, is to fill it throughout the year with little things that make you happy and good things you have achieved or just general moments that make you laugh. At the end of the year; on December 31st, you empty the jar, in preparation to make a new jar full of new things for the upcoming year. It gives you a chance to reminisce over the events through the year that have meant something to you, making you realise the year probably wasn't as bad as you thought. So I decided to do one myself, I brought a jar from a local 'bits n bobs' shop (£1.29), but I know you can pretty much get them anywhere, and decorated it with Cath Kidston floral wrapping paper (John Lewis £2), covering all sides, bottom and the lid in a cute print. I made a small label with 'Good moments in 2014' on which I stuck to the front. I hope that by the end of the year the jar will be pretty full, and I will have a lot to look back on, and even if I am sad from time to time, I can take a few out of the jar to cheer myself up.

Here are a two of my favorites I have found on Google, to give you a little decorating inspiration. 

 

Happy Memory Making.
