Look Good, Feel Good

Unless you've been living under a rock the past month, you will have noticed that active/gym wear has become a high street battle of the brands! Literally every well known online or highstreet store has released a fitness range. It's so hard to not spend ridiculous amounts on it, especially as I've been eating well and exercising since the new year began. My fave ranges are Boohoo's and Missguided's. But I know Primark and New Look's is fab as well!

I discovered a new brand on Instagram called South Beach and I instantly loved them! When they said they would love to send me something I instantly picked this gym wear. They also sell swimwear and loungewear so take a look at what else they offer, I certainly will be. I just think their active range rivals that of Missguided etc! The quality is absolutely fab! I'm wearing an xs in the top and a small in the leggings, but I wish I went for the xs in these too as they are pretty big on me! Oh well, I'm still obsessed with them!

Boost Juice Bars*

Happy Monday guys! Panic over, you survived the dreaded day. Glass of wine may be in order to help steady your feelings for Tuesday though? No, just me then...

This is a bit of a different post this eve. I was contacted by the wonderful people at Boost Juice last week asking whether I could spread the word about their popular, What's Your Name Game.



















Campaign Basics;
Back by popular demand, What’s Your Name Game is commencing Thursday 5th February and running for four weeks, EVERY day Boost will be giving away a FREE original size Boost to anyone with the selected name that day! To redeem their free Boost they will be able to head into any Boost Juice Bar, flash their photo ID and receive a FREE regular Boost at any time on that day. It’s all about giving something to our customers for just being themselves.

As per previous years when WYNG has run, we will have two names selected each day.  However, in addition to this, for the first time ever we are excited to be introducing a digital element that invites our customers to be more involved!


At Boost, we love individuality and so this year we want EVERYONE to have the chance to win Boost’s What’s Your Name Game! No matter how common or unique your name is, we are asking people to come to the WYNG site (through Facebook) to register their name for a chance for that name to be the third winning name.

Erm, so how amazing does this sound?! If you're name is chosen, or any variation of your name (i.e Will and William) then you are entitled to a free Boost drink, any Boost drink for that matter! 

All you have to do is keep you eyes peeled for your name either at your local Boost Bar or on their social media platforms, which can be found below...

I personally think this is a fab idea and a way for Boost to thank their loyal customers and to welcome new ones! 

Let me know whether you've claimed your free Boost already or if you do in the next few days!

Culottes Debut

Right so you may notice that I have been shot in two different locations when you read this post. My dad and I found the most amazing little tunnel over a canal and thought it was very picturesque. However, when we began shooting it quickly became apparent that it was a wind tunnel and after abut 2 minutes we were freezing, so much that our hands and ears were starting to ache. So we gave up and found a less cold spot to shoot. I will be going back to that tunnel in Spring/Summer because I think it will look lovely!

So this outfit, I absolutely love love love LOVE these culottes. I've never really been a culotte lover, well not on me, I think they are fab on others, but never really gave them a chance until these. I have admired these on my fave blogger Hannah Crosskey for ages and when I saw they were a crazy £10 in the Lavish Alice sale I just had to get them! I am wearing a size 6 here as I'd say they come up a little big. I styled these with an over-sized cream jumper and my new favourite cut out boots.

The beauty of these culottes is that they can be styled so many different ways and still look fab. I'm thinking of shooting them again with more going-out vibes.

Boots - Zara - sold out online but could still be found in store

Sensational SensatioNail*

So this review has been a long time coming. I was lucky enough to be gifted a Sensationail starter kit at the end of summer 2014 but I haven't had a chance to review it because I'm always using it! 

How much do you pay for gel nails at a salon? I used to get them done quite often, spending £15-£20 each time! Then my friend bought my attention to Sensationail, an at-home gel kit. She raved about it and I can see why. This collaboration has been one of my favourites so far! Being gifted something you use constantly and now live by is something to scream about. So here I am, screaming about it. 

You begin with the Starter Kit. In this you get the LED lamp, 1 small bottle of colour (mine was the Pink Chiffon), 1 small bottle of top & base coat, 1 bottle of gel primer, 1 bottle of gel cleanser and a couple of nail files. Sensationail is available in the UK from Boots and their official UK website. The Starter Kit costs £69.99 which if I'm being honest is extremely reasonable and a great way to start you off on your Sensationail journey. 



(Just a little tip: I've actually ran out of top & base coat, so I'm using a clear colour as a replacement currently. This works in the same way and is just as effective.)

Right, the question is, does it work? The answer is yes! YES YES YES YES YESSSSS! I've already saved an absolute fortune by having this kit, I do my own nails whenever I want, with whatever colour I fancy. It's the perfect way to satisfy your burning desire to have flawless nails always. They say it lasts up to 2 weeks chip free, I can't remember whether I've allowed it to do this, as I pick at my nails when I'm stressed! But it is long-lasting. It is quick and easy and genuinely looks salon professional. I will never go back to a salon after this, it's that good girls!

Since being sent the Starter Kit, I have been building up my Sensationail colour collection! They offer their full range online (with new colours added regularly), whereas Boots only stock a handful of them. 







Finally, some pics of me what some of the colours look like on...

I hope after this review that you take the at-home gel kit plunge, because trust me, once you go gel, you never go back. 

Join me as a #gelfanatic now girls, you won't be disappointed!
