Moving To London

Hey guy, I know it has been a while since iv been active and I wanted to explain to you where I have been. Basically I got in to the university I applied for which meant moving to London, and so far its been the best decision iv made.

I love all of the people in my flats and the area I live in is amazing, I guess all the college work I did paid off.

After my nan died I decided to take some time away but then I had to moved down to London a week later, before having to go back home for the funeral, so I took a little extra time to get to know my new local area as well as explore central London. I will be posting the pictures of my journeys soon.

When I was younger we would travel to London a few times a year and I hated it, it was much too hectic for young me, people everywhere bumping into you, traffic everywhere, and the heat of the underground.

But now I'm older iv learned to appreciate these things and take them all in my step, as the capital city London has so much more to offer other than Buckingham Palace and the London Eye, everywhere you look there is something new to see. From all of the parks, to the architecure, and the hidden side streets packed with hidden boutiques on cobble stoned walk ways.

If you want to see more of my adventures around London then follow me on twitter to see when I post.

Thank you for reading!

I you follow me on twitter then you will know that I took time away from my blog because my nan had become ill and was in hospital, and unfortunately she passed away, so I took a little extra time, and I know I have lost lots of followers over social media, so thank you to everybody else that has stuck around. This also means I have less favourites because iv had other things to deal with.

Thank You for reading!

Clear Skin Challenge: New Products I'm Using

Im a week into this challenge and so far I think its going well, or at least it started off well...
I was eaten healthy at the start and it went down hill from there, I also haven't been drinking water which doesn't help.

I always see people talking about eating healthy to help keep your skin clear, and to an extent I believed it but didn't think it would have a massive impact. Oh how I was wrong! Im a self-confessed chocolate eating, crisp munching, coke drinking addict. But I have been eating pretty healthy for a few weeks so I it helped my skin and when that began to go down hill and I wanted to eat everything in sight (hormones right? But not that time of the month) my skin changed.

I got more blemished and my dark circles got darker. But I have bought some more skiing care products that I feel helped so here is my list.

• Nivea Daily Essentials Sensitive Cleansing Milk
• Nivea Daily Essentials Soothing Cleansing Mousse
• Nivea Daily Essentials Gentle Cleansing Cream Wash
• Simple Kind To Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser

As you can see most of it was Nivea which was totally accidental, I bought them on separate occasions from different stores, whenever I was walking past skin care I could just feel myself been draw to them, which I'm glad of because these are amazing for your skin.

These products are so gentle for your skin but I think they make a big different and I now live by them.

For the simple moisturiser I chose this because I have the simp foaming cleaners and the day cream, both of which I love, and I wanted something that wasn't going to be full chemicals and irritate my skin but works with the other products I have so it was a no brainer.

From these pictures (I'm sorry they are blurry) you can see most of my blemishes have gone down and I just need to stop the scarring, also try and reduce the redness around my nose. 

I have no idea why this is the wrong way.

If you guys know any products to help with scarring then please comment or tell me on social media all of my links are at the side.

*also I will be doing more in-depth reviews of the new products I have bought.

Clear Skin Challenge

My skin has slowly been getting worse over the past 8 or so months, I think I was quite lucky as a young teen because I was a 'late bloomer' so it wasn't until my later teens where my skin began to change. I will look at my self everyday and be annoyed about by skin but then did nothing about it, but now I'm changing my ways!

Today I will be starting my own Clear Skin Challenge, I feel if I turn it into a challenge and document what it is I'm doing then I will be more likely to stick to it.

I will be documenting food that I eat as well as skin care products that I use and any products I use I will write a seperate review for! Iv got my filofax ready and it is now dedicated to this challenge so I can fill it in each day.

I have some 'before' pictures to show and I will add on after pictures in14 days.

These first pictures I took in my bathroom the lighting is just the sun through the window and no other lighting. 

And these last two are taken at night before bed with the bathroom light on.

As you can see my skin isn't ridiculously bad or out of hand but I have many trouble points.

I would say I have dry-combination skin, and as I'm getting older my skin is getting more on the dry side but then it will flip and become really oily. I have a lot of redness around my nose and at the moment I have one of those spots that grow huge, are really red and is really painful so I'm excited to see what products work to help that.

I have really dark under eye circles and on my left side it is slightly puffy like iv been crying and the right is generally flat darker. The area under my cheek bone is getting worse, I never usually got spots there before but now I do I like to call it 'contouring with acne'. As for my skin tone, I have medium-olive skin and my face is the palest part of my body, and I have really uneven skin tone, a lot of the times I will have ashy grey areas that look like death warmed up or yellow tones.


So there is the low down on my skin, lets see if I can change it! I hope you guys stick around to see it out.

Thanks for reading.

 Ps. I look happy in my pictures right!?!? I really hate having pictures taken sorry guys.
