Easy like a Sunday morning...








Easy like a Sunday morning...

This sunday I spent chilling out and giving the house a little spruce up while Mr J rustled up a scrummy sunday dinner, bloody mary beef - a Jamie O recipe. As my fingers tap it's slowly cooking away and smells like absolute heaven! Slow cooked beef with mash potato and kale. The beef is slow cooked for 5 hours in a vodka and tomato sauce and my god it's good. Check my insta later as i'm sure i'll snap it for you guys.

Today I have the house a lovely clean... as per every weekend and lit some candles in our room and did my face slowly. I took my time enjoying applying it as it is my favourite thing to do while watching youtube video's. I've recently become totally addicted to the Sacconejolys youtube channel so the fact the upload daily is a W I N !

Today I want for a matte eyeshadow look and a subtle nude lip, really wearable everyday look. I created this look using the Urban Decay Naked pallet using Naked as a base lid colour and Buck blended through the crease line blended out. On my lips i'm using a Revlon lip butter in pink truffle, Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme mascara, Bourjois bronzer, Soap & Glory brow archery and H&M blusher in golden peach.

#OOTD - I'm wearing a ASOS button up aline skirt with a turtle neck ribbed fitted top from newlook and the world's comfiest and warm tights from Primark because it's still bloomin cold out!






How was do you spend your Sundays?

Side note:I've also entered the a competition hosted by Rimmel #londonlookuk and if you like my makeup look I would really appreciate it if you could follow the link and click on the crown, it's a fantastic competition, let me know if you've entered and i'll be sure to put a vote your way.

Welcome 2016...


W E L C O M E  2 0 1 6 ! ! ! 



Happy New Year to you all!


2015 gave me lots of ups, downs, opportunities, trials, tests and great memories and I already know 2016 is going to be a big one. 

I already know 2016 has a tone of scarey moments and tests in store for me and my family, but with that in mind I've decided 2016 is going to be the time for me to make my own luck and start doing things for me, I am going to put the time into this blog, I am going to start my youtube channel and I am going to invest in my relationships. My friends, family and Mr J are my priority and I am going to strive to make them happy to entail make myself happy with them. 

I also intend to carry on with my balanced lifestyle when it comes to food and exercise, this is in no way 'new year, new me' because I've got a few of those T-shirts from previous January's and they have a tendency to shrink - if you catch my drift.
 The tail end of 2015 brought me yoga at home through Yoga with Adriene and her 30 days of Yoga, I absolutely love it. I can really notice if I haven't practised it for a few days, so my routine is to do a video before work 3-5 days a week (preferably 5 but it's not alwayssss doable...AKA me sleepy). It is a fantastic way to start the day, it takes away any stresses lingering from the previous day and also releases endorphins which in turn make you feel happy. Oh and the obvious plus, it's exercise which makes you toned, flexible and helps relieve muscle tension. WOOP!  

My Goal for this year is happiness & hard work paying off!

I hope you're all with me in the challenge to kick 2015's ass and make 2016 a beautiful year, no matter what it throws at us. Insert bicep & lady with sassy arm up emoji's.

What are you're goals for 2016?
How're you going to make this a year you're proud of?
Let me know of any other Yoga channels you can recommend?
Let me know in the comments.

That's all for now beauties. 


Mucho Love,

Liv
