<br />
Over the past few years my life has become busier and busier, trying to juggle work and home life then recently throwing planning a wedding into the mix. There are times when I just sit and stare into space not knowing were to start. Forgetting the simplest tasks, not knowing what needs doing next at work and generally feeling OVERWHELMED, ANXIOUS and STRESSED.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
To combat becoming so stressed that I can't function and to prevent all the jobs mounting up I use my bullet journal (my planner).<br />
<br />
When starting a new month I simply write down all the appointments, deadlines and trips for the month so I can clearly see when everything needs to be done. Then on top of this I simply list all those additional tasks that don't have a deadline but still need to get finished.<br />
<br />
By writing everything down you will be amazed at how much lighter and less anxious you feel when you don't have to continuously stress about trying to remember everything. Your brain can focus on getting things done, and guess what you will be able to get things done fast because you're only things about one task at a time.<br />
<br />
In fact you don't have to buy a fancy planner or take the time to bullet journal, a simple pen and paper can do the same thing.<br />
<br />
I would recommend writing the following days to do list the night before, just before you head to bed. Guess what, you will also sleep better because tomorrows plan is already set and not rattling around inside your head.<br />
<br />
Try it out, see how many things you can get done!<br />

<br />
Today I turn the ripe old age of 27! I know, it's now a downward slope to the big 30 but over the past 27 years I have to learnt a few things, some silly and some a little deeper.<br />
<br />
I want to share 27 of them with you:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<ol>
<li>Never Grow Up... just because you are getting older doesn't mean you have to turn into a serious grumpy adult, keep that inner child alive and have FUN!</li>
<li>Eating chocolate for breakfast won't kill you... I do it more times than I care to admit</li>
<li>Hard work pays off... TRUST ME</li>
<li>Friends are the family you chose</li>
<li>Heels make you feel powerful... try it, throw on your favourite pair of heels and walk down the street, you will see what I mean</li>
<li>You don't have to have all the answers all the time. Going with the flow every now and again can take you to some amazing places</li>
<li>Lipstick is AMAZING!</li>
<li>Put yourself first just once in a while! You are important too</li>
<li>Dance like know ones watching... just be free</li>
<li>DISNEY is my happy place! </li>
<li>Fashion is a complicated science</li>
<li>Slices of apple dipped in melted Cadbury chocolate is the best... also it's one of your 5 a day!</li>
<li>Buying your first house is the most stressful process EVER, but also the BEST thing you will ever do</li>
<li>You will do anything to avoid hair washing night</li>
<li>Primark do the best Disney merchandise</li>
<li>Snuggling my childhood teddy bear (Big Ted) always makes me feel better</li>
<li>DREAM BIG... simple but the only thing holding you back is your own imagination</li>
<li>To go along with number 17... YOU CAN DO IT! If you don't try you will never know what could have been</li>
<li>Failing isn't failing, it's discovering what not to do the next time you try</li>
<li>You don't have to be drunk to have a good time!</li>
<li>Capture every moment... whether it's a photograph or video</li>
<li>Computer games are not just for boys! Who else loves the new remastered Crash Bandicoot?</li>
<li>Live for today, not tomorrows 'What ifs' </li>
<li>Taking the time to tell someone you're proud of them can make a huge difference to their day</li>
<li>I love Crossfit!</li>
<li>Home Alone is the best christmas movie.</li>
<li>Writing 27 things I've learnt is harder than you think.</li>
</ol>

What have you learnt over your years? </div>

<br />
In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month October's Birchbox focus' on Feeling Good. They have partnered with CoppaFeel to remind us of the importance of checking ourselves regularly. Included in the box is a guide showing the correct way to check yourself and what you should be looking for. I am guilty of not checking myself as regular as I really should so from now on when I receive my Birchbox each month I will make sure to check myself.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<b><u>Anatomicals - Grab Your Melons Shower Gel</u></b><br />
Anatomicals have partnered with CoppaFeel to encourage self checking while lathering up. I love that this product again brings the importance of self checking to the forefront of your mind, but it also smells amazing! The fresh zesty melon scent is perfect to help wake you up on those week day mornings. Needless to say I can't wait to use this.<br />
<br />
<b><u>amika - Dry shampoo</u></b><br />
As with many of us these days I love trying out new dry shampoo's. Anything that will put off hair wash night for another day is a god send in my book. The packaging is really inviting with its bright 60's inspired graphics and the scent is beautiful. I can't wait to test this out and report back.<br />
<br />
<b><u>BalanceMe - Pure Skin Face Wash</u></b><br />
I've never tried anything by this brand before so i'm excited to give it a go. The Liz Earle cleanse and polish is my all time favourite face wash, so this will have to be something special to replace it in my make up bag. Saying that, it does have a really nice scent and is 99% natural which is always a plus.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Marcelle - BB Cream Golden Glow Illuminator</u></b><br />
When I saw this in the box I was very excited, I am always looking for a good BB cream. My first worry was that it was going to be too dark (story of my life) but it actually looks ok, it definitely has more of a yellow tone than I would normally go for. The texture once blended reminds me of the Benefit POREfesional, with a little more colour, meaning it gives you that flawless finish.<br />
<br />
<b><u>ModelCo - MEGALASH mascara</u></b><br />
The first thing I do when I get a new mascara is check out the brush. I love a big volumising brush that you can really feel working and this didn't disappoint. I'll be sure to post the odd selfie when trying out the mascara so you can see how it does yourself.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you already use any of these products and what you think of them?<br />

<br />
In my state of holiday blues I splurged on the new Tanya Burr Chasing the Sun collection. In the past I've found Tanya's make up to be a little hit and miss but I couldn't resist the rose gold packaging.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
What did i pick up?!<br />
<ul>

</ul>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Peonies Illumination Powder</u></b><br />
My favourite has to be the blush! The first day I used it I ended up looking like Coco the Clown, I wasn't expecting it to be THAT pigmented. A little definitely goes a long way. The beautiful shimmer gives a lovely summer glow to your face without having to add an additional highlighter. </div>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Champagne Illumination Powder</u></b></div>
<div>
Speaking of highlighters, Tanya has out done herself with these. I picked up the light and dark because I just couldn't decide. The light it a great everyday addition to bring that little bit of sparkle to your day. But I can't wait to use the darker shade when I jet off on holiday to give my skin that beautiful bronzed sun kissed look. </div>
<div>
<br />
<b><u>Lip Balms</u></b></div>
<div>
The lip balms... I was not 100% sure about when I ordered them. I imaged they would have a really strong scent and not really give much colour pay off. HOW WRONG WAS I! They do have a fruity scent but noting over powering and the colour pay off is what I would expect of a traditional lip gloss. These are perfect to throw in you bag for those days when you don't want the faff of applying lipstick.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Contour Stick</u></b><br />
The contour stick, now this was very scary! My idea of contouring is a little Hoola bronzer dotted around my face and hope for the best. But I have used it and found that it was a lot easier to use and blend than I expected. I will still use my Hoola on a daily basis for ease and quickness but for those special occasions when I have time to play with my makeup I will be reaching for this product.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a lovely surprise waiting for me when I got back from Walt Disney World this weekend as I'd completely forgotten about my May <a href="https://www.birchbox.co.uk/invite/qdvdk" target="_blank">Birchbox</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This months box couldn't have been more me if I had designed it myself, white marble, rose gold and a dusky pink draw. I didn't care what was inside I was more than happy with the box. Then I opened it... and they have outdone themselves this month!</div>
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjWlNJxx9DVex6X2sNKD6pYxQ5OSTK6dybQXfCAyyXLnxgk0DutXax21PzHy-C51PoS-VetJsMO5wLaEx4FRoZXrUJ3CyasoOAGGhLHvk56NwI0zOpVUiICnobv-9P0ZHiYrh1CRV6Fmej/s1600/Products.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjWlNJxx9DVex6X2sNKD6pYxQ5OSTK6dybQXfCAyyXLnxgk0DutXax21PzHy-C51PoS-VetJsMO5wLaEx4FRoZXrUJ3CyasoOAGGhLHvk56NwI0zOpVUiICnobv-9P0ZHiYrh1CRV6Fmej/s1600/Products.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each months box includes 5 products at least one full sized and one that you are able to select before the box is dispatched.</div>
<br />
<b><u>Marsk Vanilla Frosting mineral eye-shadow</u></b><br />
This was this months full size product of which I was also able to choose the shade before my box was sent. I went for the simple champagne colour because I can never have too many. I use this shade everyday as a base for all my eye-shadow looks so thought I'd try out a new brand. It is a loose mineral powder, very pigmented and has a really nice texture.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Benefit The POREfessional Matte Rescue</u></b><br />
The original POREfessional is my favourite primer, I wont use anything else, so I'm excited to try out the Matte Rescue version especially since we are heading into summer and I'll need all the help I can get to stay matte. I've already tested this out on my hand and unlike the original it is a clear gel but the texture is really nice, not greasy, and also has a lovely scent which is always a bonus.<br />
<br />
<b><u>OCC Lip Tar/ Primer</u></b><br />
My lips are always dry and chapped so I'm excited to try this out and see if it makes a difference when wearing matte lipsticks all day. I have never used a lip primer or anything from this brand before so I will be sure to let you know what I think.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Kueshi Brightening & Volumising Hair Mask</u></b><br />
I like to do a hair mask once a week, on a Sunday night, when I have my nice relaxing bath to set me up for the week. So i was very excited to receive one from Kueshi since I had ran out of my current hair mask the day I received my box I through I'd give this ago. It was superbe to apply with a gorgeous scent, I left it on for 3 minutes and it left my hair feeling baby soft. An excellent product which I can't wait to use it again.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Doucce Punk Volumizer Mascara</u></b><br />
Mascara is a product I don't really change a lot in my make up collection because I am in love with the Benefit <a href="https://www.benefitcosmetics.com/uk/en-gb/product/theyre-real-lengthening-mascara" target="_blank">They're Real Mascara</a>. Saying that I am excited to give this mascara a try as I love a voloumsing mascara with a HUGE brush! I will report back and let you know but it's going to have to be amazing to beat Benefit.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's it... they are all the products that I received in my Birchbox. Let me know if you already use any of these products and what you think of them?</div>

<br />
I don't understand where the year is going; we're almost half way already! But it does mean that I'm closer to my Walt Disney World trip, which is always a good thing. April has been a very busy month for me with work and life in general. I did find time to FINALLY book my wedding venue!!! I can't wait to throw myself into wedding planning, now that the big scary decision of which venue has been made.<br />

<br />
I am really surprised that I have had time to try new products this month, but I have fallen in love with a few new products, so I though I'd share them with you.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Skinny Tan</u></b><br />
This month the beautiful Rosie from Skinny Tan sent me their gradual tanner to try out. Gradual tanners are my favourite for the transition into spring and summer, as no one wants to be blinded by my lily-white legs when I break out the shorts. This is 100% honestly the best gradual tanner I've tried, and I've tried them all. The coverage is really nice giving an even colour, so simple to apply just like a normal moisturiser. It has a lovely coconut scent and DOSE NOT SMELL LIKE BISCUITS, we all know there is nothing worse than smelling you gradual tanner everywhere you go! If you are looking for a good gradual tanner transitioning into the spring and summer I'd really recommend you to give this one a go!<br />
<br />
<b><u>NYX Eyeshadow Combo</u></b><br />
Last month NYX made its first appearance in my local Boots and I went a little crazy, but these two shadows have been my favourite look this month. I have been using the shades 'Showgirl' and 'Pixie'. The quality of the shadows really surprised me for the price of them, really pigmented and blendable. I can't wait to add more colours to my collection. If you want to see how I use them, please see my holiday makeup look on my channel.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Michael Kors Brooklyn Bombay</u></b><br />
You may have seen me treat myself to this beautiful bag from the York Designer Outlets. This is now my go to weekend bag so i don't have to carry around my big clumpy workbag, as I was finding it was giving me a bad back. The cross body style is much more wearable on a weekend, it's the perfect size fitting all my essentials and the natural cream colour goes with just about everything!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Jamie Jeans</u></b><br />
I have been looking at these jeans for around two years, yeah I know crazy, but I final took the plunge and ordered them this month. Why did I wait so long? *face palm* These are by far the most comfortable jeans I have EVER owned! Really easy to dress up with heals and a blazer or simply through on with Converse and a comfy jumper.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Popsocket</u></b><br />
As you know, and are probable sick of hearing about, I am going away soon and I want to take so many photos (selfies) while I'm there but I find it really difficult to not drop my phone and take the perfect selfies. So, long story short, I ordered a Popsocket and I love it! Holding my phone is much easier and my selfies are improving.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Sophie Kate</u></b><br />
Appreciating really talented hard working Bloggers and YouTubers is important to me. Sophie Kate's blog is beautiful, her photography is some of the best I've seen and reading her blog just makes me simply smile. I am trying to start reading more and I have found my self gravitating to Sophie's blog when I get a spare five minutes, which lets be honest is not very often.<br />
<br />
So... that has been my month! How has your month been?<br />

After a lovely sunny afternoon in Durham City taking walks by the river and relaxing on the place green by Durham Cathedral, as always my thoughts turned to food. There are so many amazing restaurants in the city but none can top Zizzi in my eyes. I managed to persuade the other half to take me out for dinner by taking advantage of the <a href="https://www.zizzi.co.uk/offers" target="_blank">Amico Set Menu</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Zizzi is located in the beautiful historic streets of Durham City over looking the river and Elvet Bridge. Not only do they offer amazing food but also a beautiful view of the City centre. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The interior is stylish and modern. Set around an open plan kitchen you can watch your pizza being freshly tossed before it's baked in the large open fire pizza oven in the centre of the restaurant. This gives the pizza's the most amazing crispy base and rustic flavour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To start with we both ordered garlic bread with mozzarella, this is the best garlic bread you will ever eat. One portion of garlic bread is more than enough for 2 people to share, but if your feeling particularly hungry go for it on your own, but I did warn you!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For a change I went for the Sofia Rustic Pizza with spicy chicken, pepperoni, crumbled picante Basilicata sausage, mozzarella, red chillies & rosemary. I under estimated how big the rustic pizzas are. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it, despite my best effort, because it was very moreish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although my pizza was very nice my favourite thing to order from Zizzi is their Lasagne, the crunchy crouton top, béchamel sauce and rich ragu is beyond amazing!</div>

No meal is complete without desert, since it was a nice sunny day I had to go with a selection of ice cream and sorbet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This was the perfect way to end a lovely day in Durham City.<br />

Hello my name is Aimee, nice to meet you!<br />
<br />
I hope I bring a little bit of sunshine to your day, and you enjoy joining me on my blogging journey.<br />
<br />
Over the last 4 years I've become addicted to the world of Blogging, YouTube and Instagram. I've made some amazing friends who have had such a positive influence in the way I live my life. For a long time I thought I would love to have my own little corner of the internet to share my ideas and all of the things I love. But as with most things I thought 'I could never do that'... But why?? Anyone can! You can do anything you want if you put your mind to it, the only person holding me back was ME!<br />
<br />
So here we go...<br />
<br />
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I hope to fill it with positive uplifting posts, that make you smile. I would love you to join me on my blogging journey...<br />
<br />
Love<br />
<br />
Aimee x<br />

<br />
I will confess, previously my skincare routine has been none existent. But hitting the ripe old age of 26 I thought it's time to start combating those wrinkles. However, there are so many products out there it's difficult to know where to start and which products will be right for you, without spending a small fortune to find out. So I through I would share what is working for me to help you decide.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
I like to keep my skincare routine relatively simple, if its too long I know I just wont keep it up.<br />
<br />
My routine:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/cleanse-and-polish-hot-cloth-cleanser.html" target="_blank">Cleanse and Polish</a></li>
<li><a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/instant-boost-skin-tonic.html" target="_blank">Instant Boost Skin Tonic</a></li>
<li><a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/superskin-moisturiser-fragranced.html" target="_blank">Superskin Moisturiser </a> </li>
<li><a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/hands-and-feet/superbalm.html" target="_blank">Superbalm</a></li>
<li><a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/superskin/superskin-face-serum.html" target="_blank">Superskin Face Serum</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Cleanse and Polish</u></b><br />
The first Liz Earle product I tried out was the Cleanse and Polish. Where do I start... this is the best cleanser/face wash I have EVER tried! Before using the Cleanse and Polish I never new my face could feel that clean and nourished. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't say enough about how much I LOVE this product. I 've already got the majority of my family using it too. If I had to choose one Liz Earle product to take to a desert island, it would be this!<br />
<br />
Before bed each night I remove my makeup using the Cleanse and Polish and the muslin cloth provided. It's really simple to do, just massage it into your skin then using hand hot water, remove the makeup and dirt gently with the muslin cloth.<br />
<br />
Also a quick side note, this also removes waterproof mascara if you gentally massage it into your lashes.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Instant Boost Skin Tonic</u></b><br />
Once my face is feeling super clean I like to apply the Instant Boost Skin Tonic onto a cotton pad and massage it over my face. It soothes, cools, tones and tightens the skin leaving it feeling refreshed.<br />
<br />
I like to do this before bed and on a morning as soon as I get up to wake up my skin for the day.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Superskin Moisturiser</u></b><br />
The Superskin moisturiser is a really thick hydrating moisturiser, perfect for combating those frustrating dry patches. Before bed I massage thick layer of moisturiser all over to work its magic overnight. In the morning my skin feels as soft as a babies bottom.<br />
<br />
I don't like to use this in the morning as I feel it's a little too thick for under my makeup.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Superbalm</u></b><br />
The best lip balm EVER! The Superbalm can be used on any dry skin patches that really need some help. I use it as lip balm and its AMAZING! I apply it before bed and let it work its magic. In the morning my lips are in the best condition to apply my lipstick for the day.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Superskin Face Serum</u></b><br />
The Face Serum helps to nourish, brighten and firm my skin, this is the perfect way to start my day. Before applying my makeup I like to apply the serum to nourish my face for the day. This is the final step to my skincare routine before applying my makeup.<br />
<br />
These products have been my go to skin care routine since January this year and my skin has never felt better.<br />
<br />
Liz Earle have a wide rage of products for all skin types and trouble areas. To get started I would really recommend a <a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/travel-and-try-me-kits" target="_blank">Try-me Kit</a> to find out the products that work for you.<br />
<br />
I hope I've help you in deciding on the skincare routine that is right for you.<br />
<br />
Love<br />
<br />
