It's funny that as we get older there are things that we take note of and other things we don't until it's brought to our attention. In a few months I turn 35, and while doing this post, I saw photos of myself from 2018 and my hair looked a lot more healthier, thicker and shinier.
<br><br>
Granted I was blonde for a few years and that will take its toll on the hair and honestly I've not been as regimented with my hair routine as I once was in the past year, and let's not even talk about the grey stands that are coming through quicker.
<br><br>
The past couple of months, I've been using <a href="https://www.rootsprofessional.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Roots</a> stimulating shampoo and conditioner, it's free from a lot of allergenic & negative preservatives such as gluten, parabens, sulphates and mineral oil to name a few.
<br><br>
CBD has clinically shown to help reduce inflammation, so it makes sense to include this in hair products, it'll also reduce stress related response in cells, promoting even stronger hair health. The shampoo I will use a scalp brush to stimulate and remove any build up on the scalp and promote blood flow to help the follicles and scalp, Roots, advise to leave the shampoo for 2 minutes before rinsing to allow the 16+ active ingredients to aid scalp recovery. Upon rinsing my hair doesn't feel stripped but I can notice that it is clean.
<br><br>
Using the conditioner in conjunction, colour safe and infused with CBD, too. Ideal for thinking hair, whether this is from breakage, heat or colour damage, distressed hair etc. Just like the shampoo, there are 16+ active ingredients such as Biotin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin B-6, Caffeine & Collagen, leave this on for 6 minutes to allow these to activate the hair roots, I'll pop on a shower cap for a little warmth and rinse out with cool warm water before popping on a microfiber turban to help soak up any excess water.
<br><br>
A good wash and products helps the hair to be styled and cared for easier. I've actually become quite fond of this duo for my hair, I've noticed that it's starting to gain more shine and while my hair is quite manageable, it's fine and can easily break. Hopefully by the time I'm finished the bottles I'll notice more difference in the strength of my hair.

<p>A rich body balm with nourishing and moisturising that helps stimulate the skin's regeneration processes. A water-free formula based on witch hazel and orange blossom. Enriched with plant oils and butter, to protect the skin against environmental pollution and UV radiation.
<BR>
Witch hazel & lemon help to soften and even out the skintone whilst cleansing. Shea & Shorea butters prevent wrinkles and skin cell degeneration, providing deep & lasting hydration. Hop extract promotes epidermal renewal and prevents skin sagging, making it tighter and more elastic. The body balm is full of ingredients with amazing properties to target even, hydrating & firming skin.
<br><br>
After a bath or shower, while the skin is still damp, I'll massage a few pumps into the skin, easy to apply and absorbs quickly while leaving behind a citrusy, uplifting smell. A film on the skin is left behind, not as an uncomfortable or sticky residue but to help the skin not to lose moisture. D'ALCHEMY essential balm, leaves my skin feeling smooth and velvety to touch, with the continued use its helped restore hydration and texture of my skin.

<p>I always have a Kiehl's product in my skincare arsenal because they're effective for my skin. I suffer from post hyperpigmentation, so anything that'll help my skin pre /post-outbreak is necessary. Purifying my pores and refining skin texture is key. This is when Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Purifying Concentrated Cleansing bar comes in -(whew, what a mouthful).
<br><br>
I've used the mask as a magnet for excess oil, so the cleansing bar has to be a match? It is! A solid clay texture facial bar, formulated with 80% purifying agents, including fairly traded Amazonian White Clay and renewable Bamboo Powder. Ideal for all skin types (even sensitive) helps to remove excess oil without over-drying the skin.
<br><br>
Damp your skin with lukewarm water, wet the facial bar soap and gently massage it onto hands and apply it to damp skin. For an exfoliating cleanse, wet bar and gently massage bar directly onto damp skin. Rinse with warm water & pat dry. Can be used twice daily AM & PM. <br><br>
If you want to minimize the appearance of pores, gently exfoliate and feel fresh & balanced, grab this!

<p>My skin needed a break from actives. Winter took its toll on my skin, as my skin was healing, my skin barrier looked to be irritated. I simplified my routine to help hydrate and soothe. Aimed at normal, oily, combination skin types while helping to cleanse, tone and balance sebum. Including ingredients rose flower water, essential oils of Bergamot, lemon, sweet orange, and ylang-ylang are undiluted with water.
<BR><BR>
After cleansing, I'll spray directly onto my face, the nozzle gives off a gentle mist and leave to dry. It's optional for moisturiser (but I cannot forgo this)! The scent is uplifting, relaxing and soothing on the skin. As this toner absorbs quickly, it gives a base to continue with serums.
<BR><BR>
Since my barrier has healed, less irritatable, flakey & dry. I've continued to use the tonic to ease any redness, as the calendula oil element has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. In the warmer months, it is gentle enough to be used to refresh your face and chest whilst travelling. I'm interested in trying more of the Odylique range in the future.</p>

<p>When I purchased the Snow Fairy candle last year, I hoped LUSH would continue developing candles. In May 2022, LUSH launched three candles, 'Sleepy', 'Olive Branch' & Orange Blossom. I decided to opt for the latter, made from ethically-sourced essential oils, the natural wax base of rapeseed wax, coconut oil, coconut wax and castor wax, palm-free, paraffin-free, GM-free, & soy-free, whilst also being 100% vegan in recyclable frosted glass.<br><br> A warm & uplifting scent, honeyed florals of orange blossom, bergamot and neroli. Once burning, you don't regret the purchase. It's a small candle for the price with the recommendation of trimming the wick before or after use, get the approx: 12-15hrs burn time. For a LUSH addict, it'll be a purchase you'll try once.</p>

With Valentine's around the corner, whether you're looking for an idea or something for yourself for Galentine's day, there's a couple of ideas to treat yourself that could become long-lasting gifts for yourself. <br><br>
<div class="grid-post">
<p>Steamcream is a Japanese-made brand that aims to protect our skin from UV rays, heat and external environmental damage. Handmade in small quantities using a unique steam manufacturing process suited for all skin types, all year round. The moisturiser was the only product they sold for quite a while since its inception now also include a cleansing balm and other scents whilst still keeping the ingredients simple and effective. The balm is beautiful, 3-stages, apply onto dry skin as it warms up and melts into an oil, keep massaging before adding luke-warm water to get a milk texture and rinse off, removes stubborn make-up and leaves the skin feeling nourished.
Rose Absolute is the newest addition with shea butter, damask rose wax, damask rose flower extract that'll soothe and strengthen the most winter-tired skin.</p>

<p>If you're into cruelty-free and toxin-free EDP, this could be a discovery for you to try. Potion Paris has returned to 18th century France, "Reinventing the tradition of perfume fountains born in the 18th century. Exquisite perfume bottles from major perfume houses, often designed by famous Crystal Engravers, were refilled as desired with their original fragrance. It was a special service for a select circle that showed respect for the splendor of the bottles. This was true luxury.". That'll be something you can do with these vials, return, refill and repeat, making it more economical and sustainable. <br><br>In this sample kit, you get 7, 2ml samples in a beautiful gift box - as the fragrances retail for £25 - £120, it's an ideal way to try the collection of rare ingredients and blends. </p>

Since the 2002 launch of Glow, I've had nearly all of the JLo fragrances Glow being the first, that holds a special place in my heart. Rio Glow comes second. It's been a few years since I received a JLo fragrance, with this one being the most recent its one gift I received for Christmas. It was a blind ask as there have not been many of her scents that I've disliked. Packaged in a set with a miniature and bag, was this going to be a pro or con choice? BTW this fragrance is vegan.
<br><br>
The first impression, the packaging is similar to the fragrance Promise, which has a lot of positive reviews. From 2015, there hasn't been much of the JLo name on the perfumes but Jennifer Lopez, probably to become more in line with the Jennifer Lopez Beauty brand.
<br><br>
Top notes: Pink Peppercorn, Freesia, Peach Blossom
Heart notes: Jasmine Absolut, Cedarwood Oil, Clearwood, Prisma
Base notes: Sandalwood, Moss Crystal, Suede.
<br><br>
A woody, floral, it's not a young scent, you will find more of a fresh, green scent, as that oakmoss note is very prominent. With more feminine notes in the mix, pink pepper, jasmine and freesia but they don't stay present as much as the oakmoss but you do get a hint of suede, which I feel won't be for everyone as it might give remanence of 'new shoes'. It works well with my body temperature and pH. I'd more recommend it for autumn/winter due to the notes. Being an EDP, I wouldn't say it lasts as long as I'd like, maybe 4-5hrs the sillage is good, I'd say 5-6 sprays should get you covered for the duration.

<p>FENTY SKIN is coming up to it's 2 year anniversary this year, with no signs of slowing down. I like that there's not an overwhelming choice of products, it makes it easier for the customer to just pin-point what they're in need of & access it. The brand is using a lot of refillable packaging & we stan for our Goddess for doing this. <br><br>I was sent 4 products to review and they're straight to the point in terms of toning, exfoliation, hydrating and moisturisng. please keep in mind, I'm a normal to oily skin type.</p>

<div class="post-line"><div class="post-buy"><a href="https://fave.co/3K1SijY">Fat Water Pore Refining Toner Serum £27.00</a></div></div> Combining two products, this product will shrink your pores, target any dark spots thanks to the niacinamide but the most debated ingredients since this launch; fragrance & witch hazel. I know people do not like witch hazel due to its drying properties also if they've got sensitive skin, fragrant products are not ideal. Admittedly, I do use witch hazel on my body and sometimes on my face, depending on the situation as it's not an everyday product as it'll dry out the skin in the long run. If you've got sensitive, dry skin, this product may not be for you in the long run.<br><br> Let's focus on these incredible ingredients Barbados Cherry ( high in vitamin C; more than an orange) that'll help brighten the skin. Japanese Raisin Tree helps detoxify alongside Cactus Flower that hydrates and Green Tea & Fig is rich in antioxidants. When I look at the price point, it's affordable on the terms of the ingredients, the 2-in-1 product, these are well-researched and probably not cheap ingredients with this Rihanna is making sure that the product delivers with an affordable price point. I'd love for this to have a fragrance free option, maybe even opt out the witch hazel because this is a product everyone needs to be able to use. <br><br>

Why do all that work to keep our skin clear and forget about protecting it daily? I feel as black people we've been led to believe we don't need sunscreen and with there not being many SPF products on the market that doesn't give us a white cast, it makes it seem as though it's not an item that's made for us. This doesn't leave any cast on the skin but this SPF is a chemical SPF, which can prove irritating for sensitive skin but better for deeper skin tones and chemical sunscreens are actually great 2for hyperpigmentation! Chemical sunscreens can give much higher UVA protection. This has a thick texture but absorbs well into the skin and doesn't leave residue but a nice sheen on the skin. It targets the 3 D's dehydration, discoloration & dark spots, therefore over time it's going to help fine lines, pores, plump the skin & brighten. Key ingredients: Kalahari Melon is an antioxidant, Baobab, Aloe, Niacinamide and Hylauronic acid (see below for benefits). It would be great to have a night version of this without the SPF especially for the colder months.
<br><br>
<div class="post-line"><div class="post-buy"><a href="https://fave.co/3zO0nnH">Instant Reset Overnight Recovery Gel-Cream £38.00</a></div></div>
As an oily skin girl, a gel-cream is perfect. Instant reset Overnight Recovery quenches the skin's thirst, reduce the look of fine lines and over-time, will help brighten dull skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. Key ingredients include Hyaluronic acid - attracts moisture, aloe - has antioxidants in vitamins A, C and E, vitamin B12, fatty acids, folic acids, enzymes and minerals such as magnesium, calcium and zinc. Phew<i>!!!</i>.<br>
Niacinamide - Vitamin B3 helps hyperpigmentation and anti-inflammatory. Baobab - an African fruit filled with vitamins A, C, D, E & F that helps to even out skin tone, anti-inflammatory fatty acids, helps treat redness and irritation. <br><br>
Reading the key ingredients, there's a great combination that'll help the skin repair, whilst our body is in recovery mode. I'd love for their to be a similar one for during the day as I do find gel-creams quite light for the night and my prefrence is something thicker - especially in the autumn/winter months. But there is no doubt this night cream serves a purpose, of course it's better layered ontop of your entire night routine, I do find my skin isn't too dry when I wake.
<br><br>
<div class="post-line"><div class="post-buy"><a href="https://fave.co/3JYk01a">Buff Ryder Exfoliating Body Scrub £26.00</a></div></div>
One of my favourite things to do during a body routine - exfoliation. Being able to get rid of that dead skin making way for a smooth, soft touch & appearance. I like how Fenty Skin has incoperated body care as well as just facial care, this has a blend of exoliants and fruit enzymes along with shea butter and oils to nourish the skin. It's made with sugar, sea salt, superfine sand and avocado power. Pomegranate, papaya and pineapple enzymes that help to brighten the skin, coconut oil - hydrates and softens with it's fatty acid content and Barbados Cherry - conditions and softens the skin. This has a nice gentle smell of a tropical scent, as they put reminiscent of caramel and guava; just has me longing for Summer. For an exfoliant of every other day, it's gentle and pretty effective to keep me inbetween my weekly big korean towel scrub.<br><br>

How can I detox my scalp and hair naturally? By using this oil, that's made with 84.5% plant-based ingredients – is cruelty-free and the proud owner of a Vegan Society badge of approval.
<br><br>
To use:<br>
With dry hair, I part into sections & direct the nozzle onto each parting ensuring that my scalp is covered. Using a scalp massage brush, I work it in & double up on the stimulation. I'll leave it for an hour before rinsing it out. <br><br>
An oil-to-cream formula makes it easy to rinse. I don't suffer from any scalp conditions but my scalp can get dry if I'm using heat and haven't protected my scalp and oil is always the best thing for my scalp. When I've been wearing dutch braids, I sometimes just use them on my partings daily to keep it hydrated.

<p>I'm part of the Navy. You know me, it's a known fact. When I first heard about the launch of Fenty Beauty, I was and have continuously been all over the brand. I'm in love with the selection of products, the quality, the brands' ethos, that Fenty Beauty has become known for. Rhianna shook up the beauty world more and had brands paying attention and taking heed. It's mind-blowing that it took until 2017.
<br><br>Reading the email asking if I'd like to try some of Fenty Beauty's hero products, I quit my job - not officially - as I sat at lunch & said, I've been manifesting this. If there's been a brand I've wanted to work with since its inception, it's been Fenty Beauty. There were items sent I've not tried. Fenty Skin was included, I'm going to review those in a separate post.</p>

<div class="post-line"><div class="post-buy"><a href="https://fave.co/3q8y3cI">Pro Filtr' concealer (300) £21.00</a></div></div>
Now I do already have this concealer and I first started off with a 290 and the more of a perma-tan I got, the concealer went up by 1. I've repurchased several times since the launch and the concealer works well, creamy texture & good coverage. The concealer does try quickly, therefore, I'd blend it out asap. I do like to ensure my under eyes prepped with an eye cream beforehand as this is a matte, so it's not going to give a hydrated look.<br><br>
<div class="post-line"><div class="post-buy"><a href="https://fave.co/3tds9sM">Snap Shadows (wine) £22.00</a></div></div>
I have the first 2 eyeshadow palettes, Fenty Beauty released 'Galaxy' &s; 'Moroccan Spice', both of which were pigmented, so I had high expectations for these. 6 shadows, 3 matte and 3 shimmers, in honesty they're not as pigmented as the previous shadows but they're buildable in coverage, as the mattes are soft and silky and the shimmers are quite emollient but that's exactly the texture I'm used to with the brands shadows. I used the shade 'bottle service' on my lower lash line to compliment the sweep of <a href="https://fave.co/3r0uKDK" target="_blank">Sangria Sunset</a> from the killawatt foils on my lids.<br><br>
<div class="post-line"><div class="post-buy"><a href="https://fave.co/3fcXyTG">Killawatt Highlighter Duo Afternoon Snack /Mo Hunny £28.00</a></div></div>
My first FB highlighter was the ever so popular <a href="https://fave.co/334r9MP" target="_blank">Trophey Wife</a> & the consistency, pigmentation and formulation has not changed - one of the best highlighters on the market. I used a small amount of Afternoon Snack, a soft bronzed champagne sheen on my noise tip and bridge as I wanted a soft look. If there's anything you should pick up from FB, it's the Killawatt range. If you want a baby glow or a glow to the God's, she's got you covered. It's smooth, creamy and never let's you down. <br><br>
<div class="post-line"><div class="post-buy"><a href="https://fave.co/3tkwytI">Cheeks Out Cream Blush Daiquri Dip £21.00</a></div></div>
WTF! This cream blush is ridiculous, and I'm saying this in a positive way. FELL IN LOVE. It's finding the application that's for you with these fingers or brush, using a stippling brush I got a wash of colour, fingers gave that intense POP. I definitely think you get what you see in terms of colour and intensity. I did use this on their Pro Filtr' matte foundation, I've not used it with the Eaze Blur as of yet to see how it'll work on another finish. <br><br>
<div class="post-line"><div class="post-buy"><a href="https://fave.co/3GfzUlv">Glow Bomb Heat £20.00</a></div></div>
I do like a variation with a lip finish, but there's something about a gloss that hits the lips curves and accentuates & shock horror, these are in my top favs. Over the Summer, I did view these in Harvey Nichols, I'm always side-eyeing a plumper but you know what - grab one. I've since got it in Fenty Glow too. You do get a little tingling with the 'plump job complex' that has a blend of ingredients designed to help lips get that thick pout alongside the conditioning shea butter and vitamin E that'll lock in moisture. <br><br>

This can be used before, during and after make-up application, even during the day if you feel your skin may need it. A fine mist (my fav) with an uplifting rose scent, it doesn't leave me looking 'wet' but it gives a nice dewy complexion as most times I don't like my make-up to look too matte, I want a flawless complexion but a skin like one

Founded in 1996 by Brook Harvey-Taylor, Pacifica Beauty has launched in the UK exclusively to Cult Beauty. The UK launch coincided with their 25th birthday.
<br><br>
Pacifica Beauty takes care of the environmental impact and conscious responsibility its products have. To ensure this, they stock vegan, cruelty-free formulas and plant-powered aromatherapy while also having their recycling programme.
<br><br>
Pacifica Beauty has something for everyone, from skincare, hair, makeup, suncare, bath & body and even fragrances. Their vegan collagen and lavender moon are 2 of their best selling collections, and I was kindly given a few products from those collections.

<a id="H2-A"></a><h2>Lavender Moon Body Wash</h2>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>Bath products are one of my favourites when it comes to winding down & the scent is everything. Lavender contains chemicals that rapidly absorb into our bloodstream that have a sedative and pain-relieving effect. <br><br>The Pacifica Lavender Moon range has a pure, light and fresh scent. I like that it's a pump bottle, so I can use it as much as I want without wasting the product.<br><br>
A clear gel so there is no artifical colourants, it's gentle on the skin with zero irritation for me and gives a good amount of lather, which is a pro. The calming lavender scent that bursts out once it's pumped and water activated, I wish the scent was more long-lasting, which I would prefer but this could solved by having it paired with the other Lavender Moon products for longevity with the scent.

<a id="H2-B"><h2>Coconut & Charcoal Underarm Detox Scrub </h2></a>
<div class="grid-post">
<p>Have you ever considered switching to a natural deodorant? If you are, did you know? That it can take up to 30 days for your body to regulate. It'll purge all the aluminium in your armpits, while the bacteria that grows on sweat will give off that bad, b.o. But if this is the way you'd like to go, don't be discouraged. Dermatologists agree that three key ingredients, charcoal, clay and exfoliating acids, can help speed up that process. <br><br>
Pacifica has an underarm detox scrub that'll help with ingredients such as apricot seed, charcoal and arrowroot powder. Arrowroot helps soak up moisture whilst the charcoal helps draw out bacteria, dirt and oil, allowing the apricot seed powder to exfoliate the underarm.

<a id="H2-C"></a><h2>Vegan Collagen Creamy Gel Cleanser</h2>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>Gel cleansers are becoming a favourite of mine to use as they don't dry my skin out. I have combination skin in spring and summer, normal to oily, which can turn drier in autumn and winter.
Pacifica's creamy gel cleanser is suitable for all skin types, gentle but effective to remove make-up, oil and daily residue. Vegan collagen is produced through a plant-based fermentation process, infused with a sulphate-free coconut base that doesn't strip but refreshes the skin.<br><br>Being that I have oily skin, a gel cleanser is ideal. This one is very gentle and effective. I've encountered no issues whilst using it, a creamy but lightly-scented gel that removes my make-up or just that end of day grime. Honestly, I've only been wearing a light-weighted make-up application and this cleanser allows me to double cleanse with one product.</p>

<a id="H2-D"><h2>Vegan Collagen Overnight Recovery Cream </h2></a>
<div class="grid-post">
<p>While I'm rejuvenating, I let this cream do the night shift on my skin to wake up to a healthy and radiant complexion. Key ingredients; sunflower seed oil, vitamin E, Vitamin C, orange flower extract, Matricaria flower extra and vegan collagen have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and brightening properties. <br><br>I do a lot of nightly skin repairing and treatments, which means I like a thick moisturiser to ensure that the skin keeps hydrated. Suffering from dry patches due to the cold weather & central heating that's wreaking havoc. As this isn't too heavy, nor does it sit on top of the skin, I find it absorbs nicely while leaving a glow.<br><br> It carries a light floral scent, which is quite relaxing at night. It's soothing whilst helping the dry flakes within a couple of nights.</p>

<a id="H2-E"><h2>Lavender Moon Body & Pillow Mist </h2></a>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>Carrying the same scent as the body wash, it's dreamy and relaxing. Use this on your skin and-or pillow to help induce a relaxed sleep. I love that this doesn't smell artificial but reminds me of a lavender field. In combination with a weighted blanket, this has helped me relax more being settling down for bed. <br><br>
Improving sleep is something I'm focused on, cos of late, my sleeping pattern has been inconsistent. I've begun using this on my body, pillow, blanket and headboard 30 mins before bed, not overpowering, gentle enough to have a few sprays on each area. Allows my body time to relax and produce melatonin, the hormone that promotes restful sleep. <br><br>I have noticed a change when I use this as opposed to when I don't, my biggest positive is that this is a body mist as well as to be used on pillows etc. A staple in my nighttime routine, having a good nights sleep is necessary and this year one goal is finding a routine that'll have me sleeping like a baby. </p>

<div class="grid-post">
<p>Using a hair mask weekly for the health of my hair is necessary, especially since being colour treated & heat trained can impact the strands conditions. The cool hydrations nourishing masque is a vegan, moisturizing masque that provides deep hydration to replenish strands, reduce frizz, static and breakage. The Cool Hydrations masque contains hydrolyzed rice protein, which can increase our hairs volume over time and add natural shine. A unique formula enriched with vegan botanical caviar and water lily extract that'll give your hair a boost of hydration. It's lightweight, almost watery in texture, amazingly fragrant as Alterna's products always are. Perfect for all hair types, especially dry or frizzy.
<br><br>
In addition to the cool hydrations masque, I've been adding the Jelly Fix Repair Booster. The Jelly Fix Repair Booster is a hair jelly that prevents breakage whilst protecting our hair from harmful pollutants. Its silicone-free formula will smooth the hair strands right to the ends. I add 1 - 2 pumps into the Cool Hydrations masque before applying it onto my hair from mid-lengths to the ends before leaving it on with a shower cap for roughly 20 minutes, sometimes under the steamer for an added deep condition. </p>

Do you remember when Lauren Conrad had her The Beauty Department website? If you do, you may not know but Kristin Ess was a co-founder of this site. Kristin Ess is Lauren Conrad's hair stylist and has been in the business 20+ years, she's also had her hands on Lauren Conrad, Lucy Hale & Jenna Dewan to name a few of her regular clients. With so many years in the game, it's only right that shes's got her own hair range, esthetically pleasing and simple, the range is split into collections: Cleanse + Conditon, Restore, Wet Styling, Dry Styling + Finishing, Scalp, Curl & Fragrance Free. Being that my hair is colour treated, I feel extra care is always needed and so I went for products that are needed for my hair treatment.<br><br>
<h2>KRISTIN ESS BUBBLE MASK</h2>
<div class="grid-post">
<p>"<b>This bubbling scalp mask instantly removes oil, build-up, dead surface skin cells + debris. Use it as a pre-shampoo scalp treatment on dry hair before you shower, then once the bubbles wear off, and you stop thinking about that one childhood candy this reminds you of, get in and wash your hair!</b>"<br>Can't lie, its quite a fun product with the bubbles. Just like other scalp products, I separate my hair and shake the can, I like to directly apply it onto my scalp but you can pump onto your hands and disperse throughout the hair but I find that way the bubbling happens on the hands. As the bubbles start to dissolve, there's a tingling effect on the scalp which helps stimulate growth and cleansing. I rinsed my hair with lukewarm water and there was no dryness but my scalp did feel pretty fresh.</p>

<h2>KRISTIN ESS PURPLE SHAMPOO + SIGNATURE CONDITIONER</h2>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>"<b>The One Purple Shampoo: I wanted to create a purple shampoo that is great for toning blondes + brunettes and is also sulfate-free... I’ve always had a hard time finding that combo. If you like ashy tones or even pastel lavender tones, you can use this every time you shampoo. If you like neutral tones, use it only when needed to cut brass. The One Signature Conditioner: A condition that's versatile. It’s weightless enough that you can still get a bouncy blowout yet moisturizing enough to nourish where your natural oils can’t reach</b>" I'm used to shampoos without sulfates so it's not a big deal, it has more of a jelly-like apperance as it comes out, it's thicker than other purple shampoo and the shade is rich & it doesn't dry out the hair which I think is so important with colour treated hair especially, lessens the breakage. The conditioner has a nice slip to it, not heavily fragranced and I like to leave it on for a few minutes to give it a bit of hydration and brush it through with my tangle teezer. </p>

<h2>KRISTIN ESS RECOVERY BALM</h2>
<div class="grid-post">
<p>"<b>It’s coconut and castor oil based so the longer you leave it on, the better! I use it for SO many things: a shine product when I do braids, a pre-shampoo treatment when hair feels super-dry.

I use it to tame fly-aways on damaged hair, to soften and add moisture to edges.</b>" <br> Me & balm sticks have become such good friends but I love the fact that this one is a multi-use product as described above. I find my ends can get dry as the days go on and as I don't wash my hair that often due to hair type, so it's important to keep the ends in good condition to retain length (along with regular trims), the fact this comes with a mini bun cap - Kristin thought of everything - trust me TRY THIS!</p>

The majority of us have probably heard of the benefits of rose water. Grown in the soil conditions of the Rose Valley in Bulgaria, it's considered one of the most precious natural sources since thousands of petals are required to produce just a small amount of its magic rose water.
<br><br>
I've been using Alteya's certified organic Bulgarian Rose Water for a little while now, quoted as "the world’s most exquisite 100% pure, natural, organic flower water". By using a unique distillation technique, it embodies century-old traditions and modern technology, they distil a special grade rose water that completely preserves the balanced synergy of the rose plant. It's 100% distilled rose flower water! I adore the apothecary spray bottle, there's something that makes me feel, this is medicinal, it's good for me and with the range being super affordable, it's 100% worth the try.
<br><br>
<h2>HAIRCARE</h2>
After washing your hair, use this on your scalp & massage to help reduce dandruff and oily scalps. My curly girls, this can help add shine and eliminate frizz.
Our hair becomes brittle due to the minerals in the our everyday water, rosewater can help our hair become softer and more fuller!<br><br>
<h2>AROMATHERAPY</h2>
Use in your bath water, as room spray or on your bed sheets, pillows or clothes for aromatherapy benefits as it can help elevate your mood and relieve headaches. As someone who loves their bath, I've poured a little in with the raining water and the subtle smell of rose, engulfs the room, aiding in the relxation.<br><br>
<h2>FUR BABIES</h2>
We cannot exclude our fur babies, use it on their bedding for odours. It can also be used as an antibacterial for any wounds or iritations your pet may have.
<br><br>
<h2>Soothe & Cleanse</h2>
Another way that I love is using it to soothe my skin after dermaplaning and shaving, I'll spray directly onto the area or use a cotton pad and just swipe to take down any redness. This would be great for sensitive skin as it's not heavily fragranced. With the weather starting to get a little warmer & a potential 'heat wave' heading our way for a week, during the day, it can be used to cool down, help the skin if you're prone to burning from the sun but it won't replace your SPF!!
<br><br>
It's a great cleanser, as it helps to remove the oil and dirt from the clogged pores on our skin, just by using a cotton pad after cleansing it'll help remove even more dirt from the skin. Alongside that it's amazing for hydration, this is how I've been using it mostly. With the weather changing its mind, as much as JLO with her exes, my skin has been from oily to dull. Being full of vitamins such as A, C, D & E and B3, It's amazing to help revive the skin.
<br><br>
<h2>Flavour</h2>
Food grade Rose water, use it within food or drinks for a flavour enhancing experience. It can also aid digestive upset.
<br><br>
With a wide use for rose water, I think it's a must to have a bottle within the home for day to day use, being a natural astringment it's a handy ingredient to not be without & this brand is definitely the rose water of choice!<br>

<p>Being someone who has focused more on skincare in later years than make-up, I always enjoy finding new brands and incorporating additional products. Youth To The People is a brand recently introduced to me, focusing on sustainable glass packaging and more natural ingredients. YTTP is new to the UK market, while in the US, this brand has become a sell-out of much-loved products. Their Kale + Green Tea Superfood Cleanser is the number one best-seller in US Sephora! They're also Cult Beauty's most requested acquisition - that's saying a lot. <br><br>It's been a long time coming for the brand, built upon 3-generations of founding knowledge, cousins Joe and Greg say it all started from their grandmother Eva, who was a skincare pioneer herself, founding her own skincare company in the 70s. Her blend of professional-grade aesthetics with antioxidant botanicals was the blueprint of Youth To The People. The ingredients listed are there with the intention of a purposeful percentage that'll deliver visible change in your skin. So, there's nothing groundbreaking in their technique, it's just simple & it works!</p>

Connecting skincare and wellness is a thing! Psychodermatology is real; if you suffer from skin conditions such as acne, eczeme, psoriasis, hyperpigmentation & more, they can affect your self-esteem and these conditions can be triggered by stress. Stress stimulates both the brain & skin to signal these hormones that can trigger inflammation, worsen skin conditions and accelarates aging. So we need to find products that work for us, to decrease some of the stress we have within our lives. I know that if I get spots, it doesn't matter what I do, I get hyperpigmentation & it bums me out, I feel like crap but I'm fortunate than others but we all have our hangups when it comes to our skin.<br>

<a id="H2-A"></a><h2>Superfood Cleanser</h2>
This cleanser has me cheating on my current cleanser, and it may just be getting replaced. A glass bottle which comes with a pump that you can place into the bottle to control how much you pump. I love the glass packaging, it's got a slight apothecary bottle feel to it. A thick gel, foams up nicely with water, I use this alongside a steamer once a week for a deep cleanse. I don't find this leave my face dry. The smell is subtle to my senses, it's fresh, with a green, healthy scent which is from the antioxidant-rich ingredients of spinach and kale.
<br><br>
This can remove make-up and the daily grime that we get, the ingredients are gentle enough to use twice daily to help clear pores. To use, start with a wet face, 1-2 pumps onto wet hands, rub together to get a lather and massage into the face and neck for about 30 seconds and rinse off. If removing makeup, use on a dry face and add more water as you massage for 60 seconds.

<a id="H2-B"><h2>Resurfacing Energy Facial</h2></a>
Wow, all I can say is wow! This physical exfoliator is insane the instant results I got from using this - I was shocked! After I've cleansed, keeping the skin wet after rinsing, I apply an even layer and leave it on for about 2 minutes as this allows the enzymes to activate. I then add water and massage in circular motions to finish off the exfoliation.<br><br> As I use a chemical exfoliation product, I have a routine of using these throughout the week. E.g. if I use a chemical exfoliation on Sunday - I'll use this Tuesday & Thursday. Fine bamboo grit you can feel also contains Niacinamide which is an ingredient that helps to brighten the skin. Pineapple, papaya, passion fruit, dragon fruit and turmeric that aid with that too. It's not the cheapest but, it's one to 100% try at least once in your life.

<a id="H2-C"><h2>Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask</h2></a>
After being introduced to sleeping masks, I always have one in my skincare draw. The first time I used this, I woke up, texted my friend, "It's only the first use, but OMG! I'm in love". A rich and creamy overnight mask which hydrates, plumps & illuminates while promoting an even and youthful complexion come the morning.
<br><br>
Ingredients include squalane, hyaluronic acid, glycerin which are humectants meaning it draws moisture from the air into the skin. Include a shot of antioxidant-rich super berries and a stable form of Vitamin C *wand tap* radiant, glowing skin.
<br><br>
I don't use this every night, although it's suggested, for nightly use for best results. For me, it works best on the nights that I exfoliate. As most of my skincare contains AHA/BHA, I don't want to overdo it once I've done an exfoliation.

<a id="H2-D"><h2>15% Vitamin C + Clean Caffeine Energy Serum</h2></a>
Vitamin C has become one of the ingredients that skin enthusiasts love including in their routine, the trick is finding that Vitamin C that's effective. This Vitamin C could be a forerunner in the battle! There's no stickiness when this is applied, which, I find with others, I've tried.<br><br>With not one type of Vitamin C but THREE! Ethyl ascorbic acid, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. With plant-derived caffeine, yerba mate and guayusa (known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties) enhance microcirculation and reduce that morning puffiness.
<br><br>
Lately, I've been experiencing morning puffiness along with using an ice roller. I have seen that by the time I'm leaving the house, the puffiness has decreased. Hold on, not only is it's targetting the puffiness and pigmentation, antioxidant-rich dragonfruit, passion fruit and squalane help moisturise and hydrate while fighting pollutants from the skin. <br><br> Don't forget that SPF!

<a id="H2-E"><h2>Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream</h2></a>
I haven't used a gel-cream much, but having oily skin, it's probably the best type to use as it doesn't add to the oil already on the surface of the skin. During my menstrual cycle, my skin wants to produce more oil. The last month since using this gel-cream, I noticed the overall oil production seemed limited. Its lightweight, cooling and hydrating. I feel it's replacing my Kiehl's! <br><br>Key ingredients; Kale: provides vitamins C, E, and K. Skin loving phytonutrients, meaning it's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Green tea is another antioxidant ingredient and Hyaluronic Acid which has moisture-retaining properties. There's no worry about the skin feeling dry or oilier throughout the day. Another pro, it's a multiuse cream, it can be used as a primer or added to your foundation for a hydrating boost. I haven't been wearing make-up much in the past couple of months, choosing to focus more on my skin. My skin gets a good 10 hours of hydration and benefit, feeling supple and smooth. It's a winner!

<a id="H2-F"><h2>Superberry Dream Eye Cream</h2></a>
Eye creams, I started to include in my routine in my mid-20s, my main issues would be dark circles and puffiness, luckily no sign of fine lines & I hope, to never see them. Superberry Dream Eye Cream is a fragrance-free overnight eye cream to smooth the appearance of fine lines + wrinkles, hydrate and firm the skin while getting our beauty sleep!
<br><br>
The texture is thick, at the same time light-weight, absorbs seamlessly throughout the night. My under eyes appear brighter in the morning. I can't speak on fine lines decreasing as I don't have any. I was experiencing dryness under the eyes which, led to me during the night rubbing my eyes, which made it worse and more irritable. With the skin being delicately thin, it wasn't a good look. About 2-weeks of using this, hydration was present and, the irritation was gone.

<a id="H2-F"><h2>Conclusion</h2></a>
Youth To The People, you have another cult member. I started some of the products before others as I was reviewing other products, so I've seen more improvements with those quicker than others, needless to say, I've been converted! If you're looking for particular skin treatments, it's a brand to consider. As I understand to divulge in the complete range might not be affordable for many. It's hard to say what the most stand-out products are for me, as I truly fell in love! If I had to pick, no, I couldn't. I'm hoping soon, the refill for the cleanser will be available because it's 100% necessary, being cost-effective and environmentally conscious. <br><br>
I have a Youth To The People wishlist, Kombucha +11% AHA Exfoliation Power Toner & Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Oil once I get my hands on these, I'll be reporting back!!
<br><br>
<center>The other day I was asked if I was wearing make-up because my skin was clear, smooth and glowing. We live for those moments!</center>

Even though I probably have over 40+ fragrances, why not add more to the collection. On a recent trip to Harrods, I was traffic stopped by a Loewe's sales consultant, who was a sweetheart. Knowledgeable about his products, he sprayed a couple on a card. 001 Woman has two notes that I enjoy - sandalwood and vanilla.
<br><br>
It's a fresh, fruity and feminine fragrance that belongs in the Oriental Floral family. <br><br>
Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Tangerine <br>
Heart Notes: Sandalwood, Egyptian Jasmine, Linen chord <br>
Base Notes: Musk, Vanilla, Amber<br>
<br><br>
The bottle is a simple glass bottle with an organic wooden cap. On the initial spray, it's light, nothing too complicated with the notes as it starts to dry down, the musk and the sandalwood prove dominant, spraying too much, it can be a little headache-inducing, in honesty. It is a minimalistic fragrance in the sense of notes, packaging and bottle. There is a male version, though I feel this could pass off as unisex upon the dry down.

<p>It can be one of the inevitable pains that we go through, glowing up after a breakup is a silver lining to this heart wrenching experience. It's scientifically described as post-traumatic growth but glow-up sounds much more glamorous! The process, maybe not so much. The results are always worth it but you've got to stick out the process to get there. A breakup is similar to physical pain in the brain, adding the glow up struggles to become a better you can be daunting. <br /><br />It's not a wasted effort if done for you and the right reasons - it's not about the ex or anyone else. It's <b>all about YOU!</b> This glow up means you have transformed both internally and externally after the end of a relationship. Not only have you healed, learned your worth and working on being the best version of you, you'll feel and look gorgeous! We want to see the physical, emotional, mental and financial glow up.<br /><br />Babes, things are about to be better than before, breakups suck but we are turning that into something sweet & amazing for you!

<h3>Emotions</h3>
This is where we feel the pain, the heartbreak that leads us to not want to do anything but cry, the feeling of loss. Something has ended where before our emotions for the most part were on a high, we are never prepared for a break-up but I hope that a few of these points can help the emotionally journey back to strength! And remember it's ok, to not feel ok some days!<br /><br />
<a id="H2-A"></a><h2>Feel the Emotions</h2>
Glow-ups have zero shortcuts. It'll all be smoke and mirrors and at the end of the day, you'll get nowhere within yourself and the cycle will still be there. Without going through the process you'll never experience all the feels of the journey. They'll be a range of emotions with each stage but as you go through them, you'll feel and notice the growth and others will probably begin to comment but remember this is your journey. <br /><br />
The attachment you had with your ex won't just fade overnight, you had a whole relationship with this person and you need to go through the breakup stages before you can start fresh and rebuild. - Experiences only make us wiser and stronger if we choose to learn from them.<br /><br />
<a id="H2-B"><h2>Change Your Beliefs</h2></a>
Those negative thoughts that we are continuously telling ourselves, that we don't deserve more, whatever happened to you was well deserved, you're stupid, a failure. You're limiting your beliefs by telling yourself lies. You need to figure out the why to the situation. Find understanding to begin to heal, not to make those mistakes again and feel better. Ask yourself:<br /><br />
<i>What are you scared of?<br />
Why did you stay when you felt mistreated and undervalued?<br />
Do you think you deserved the treatment?<br />
What would you tell a friend who was in the same situation?<br />
Are you sure that person will be the only one?</i><br /><br />
Be honest with your answers! This isn't meant to be easy as personal growth never is, you need to take a deep look at why you do and think certain things and begin to work on those areas. You could be scared to put yourself in certain positions but ask yourself why? <i>Is it the thought of failing? Being taken advantage of? What led you to this train of thought?</i><br /><br />
<a id="H2-C"><h2>Check Your Priorities</h2></a>
Don't mistake feeling the feels as wallowing constantly - you won't get nowhere constantly doing that. Do not make this break-up your life's theme! Each step is the process! Keep an eye on what you have set your eyes on - the goal of glowing up!<br /><br />
It's personal development not V for Vendetta. Yes, we always want to have them feel the hurt we are feeling but those feelings will fade and the hate will subside gradually. And just because they disappear it doesn't meant that the goal needs to be ended! Those feelings won't be what will carry you through, so setting your priorities and goals from the onset will increase your odds at seeing this through to the end goal! <br /><br />
<a id="H2-D"><h2>Do a Self-assessment </h2></a>
Here's another way to improve the relationship with yourself by doing personal reflection. It is a good way to start, searching what and where things went wrong. Not just what your ex did, but what could you have done differently yourself! Reconsider <i>what it is that you're looking for from your life, a future relationship and why? How would you go about reaching for these goals? What will you stand for? What are your limits?</i>
<br /><br />
<a id="H2-E"><h2>Learn to Respect Yourself - Always</h2></a>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>Breakups have there way of being an eye opener to how you allowed your respect and confidence to be violated and diminished, things we never would of tolerated before became a way of living. You may feel you're doing worse than before you was in this relationship. Unfortunately the after effects of living through a toxic relationship is another heartbreak of realisation. Point is, <b>you need to forgive yourself</b>, for whatever reason, <i>don't beat yourself up</i>. <b>Forgive yourself!</b> <br /><br />
Moving onto a self-respecting mind shift. You can forgive and begin rebuilding and having self-respect. Going back to point two, where you need to shift those negative lies you feed yourself about yourself. Stop name-calling or believing those negative words/inputs that your ex said because it's not you! The longer you think that way, the more power you're giving your ex. That's them having power to control your life without being around! Learn to trust your thoughts and choose self-respect over self-destruction. We are our thoughts, we begin to manifest them into our lives.<br /><br />
“Your sense of self-worth comes from you alone — never the opinion of others.” ─ Robert Green

<a id="H2-F"><h2>Leave the Misery Bubble</h2></a>
So...the pity party is now over! Ok there might be some day where we might still feel to have one but we need to get out of that buble as much as possible and remember there's much more going on that'll take our mind off things, cause us to laugh and have fun!<br /><br />
Your friends if they're truly down for you and how you're feeling, they'll probably will be up to find ways to keep your spirits up and no doubt want to throw you a f*ck boy party but you'll probably find having fun, is the last thing you want to do and like you're betraying yourself feelings of mourning. But your tribe is your vibe, they will help you to forget even if it's just going out for lunch or a games night in. <br /><br />
<a id="H2-G"><h2>Declutter Your Relationships</h2></a>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>Delete, throw, shred - whatever! Now this can be looked at in two ways, throwing away remiences of your relationship to start fresh, no reminders. Even just decluttering your environment of anything can prove beneficial to your needs. When I tidy up and have things organised, I feel so much better and relaxed. <br /><br />
It can also serve as a point of detaching yourself from others. You want to glow-up, grow, be in a different mindset, continuing to carry what no longer serves you, will only continue to drag you down. <br /><br />
There are people who are around you but they're what I like to refer to as energy vampires, as they get increased energy from others but leaves others also drained and exhausted of energy. You need to pick wisely who you keep in your surroundings, if you know that 3 of your friends are a certain way in situations, it's ok to not invite them into your space. Respect your boundaries. <br /><br />
BLOCK YOUR EX! I know, this'll be hard because naturally we want to see how they're coping, what they're doing, we look at our phone nearly every minute in the hopes they've contacted us but babe, if they haven't yet, they aren't likely to do it! And by the time they do, it probably won't even matter anymore cos you're living your post-breakup best life.</p>

<h3>Physical</h3>
When we look good, we feel good! It's the honest truth. We feel more confident to be seen, to go out and put ourselves out there! Some of the physical aspects might not be the quickest or the easiest but they'll form long-term healthy habits.<br /><br />
<a id="H2-H"></a><h2>The Revenge Body</h2>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>There's the debate whether a revenge body is a good or bad thing as people view it as doing it for the wrong reasons - which yes it's true but if you can turn that motivation into a lifetime habit then it's a good thing. Taking a negative situation and making it positive! We aren't doing it to make the ex jealous, we are doing it to feel better for ourselves. Those endorphins that exercise releases are a bonus. It reduces our perception of pain and triggers a positive feeling. So it's more get moving, to look good, feel good!
<br /><br />
& if the ex feels like shit and weeps over the savage babe they've just lost, it won't hurt!<br /><br />
When you complete a workout, the sense of accomplishment you feel - while trying to get your breath back - especially when you didn't feel to work out in the first place but you pushed through and proved you can do this and you feel good that you did it. <br /><br />

<a id="H2-I"><h2>Healthier Diet</h2></a>
I'm not a nutritionist and when going through hardships, we all want that comfort food & to pig out, in bed or on the sofa watching Netflix but too much junk food can induce feelings of depression. I'm not saying cut it out completely - we are all about balance. But trying a healthier eating habit, making sure we are drinking enough water to keep our system flushed out. We want to have the energy to work out and continue to feel better. When I introduced myself to juicing, I never looked back. I get so much of my vitamins and nutrients in just a glass of juice. Even doing a detox for 3 days can reset your body.<br /><br />

<a id="H2-J"><h2>Beauty Glow Up</h2></a>
No doubt the easiest part of the guide, especially if you love beauty! Trying new hairstyles, make-up techniques, clothing styles, skincare routine - ah it's endless and a YouTube search and click away tbh! Finding a style that'll become signature to you, will have you feeling more confident and at ease with yourself. <br /><br />
We know the whole saying that when a woman cuts/ changes her hair, she's making changes to her life and that could possibly be true but lets not be hasty with it, if you're anything like me a drastic cut could have you weeping for days. Give it a lot of thought but maybe try a new hair colour or technique before doing a big chop.<br /><br />
I like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/SagoniaLazarof" target="_blank">Sagonia's YouTube channel</a>, she does quick beauty tricks to try and her videos aren't long-winded & straight to the point.<br /><br />
Times like this calls for extra self-care, we don't want to slack on this as prevention is better than cause, we still want to appear put together even if we don't look it. Set aside time where you can dedicate time for an at home spa time or even better if you can afford it, take yourself to one - pamper yourself. It can be as simple as a facial, getting your mani-pedi or your eyebrows done.<br /><br />
<h3>Mental</h3>
This is how we can level up our knowledge, mindset and to become a person who, doesn't give a f*ck unless it really matters!<br /><br />
<a id="H2-K"><h2>Reignite Your Passion</h2></a>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>Remember what you loved to do before? It ended up being shelved and collected dust. Now whatever that passion you had before, you are going to light that spark to reignite the passion for it again, why? Because this is the time to being again and pour that energy back into everything. What was it that excited you? Could of been anything such as that book you started to write, that business you thought to start. You have so much extra time that this can become your new partner, of course don't let it overwhelm your life because soon you'll want to jump back into the dating pool but before you do - think of all this independence you're gaining, it's fxcking empowering babe!
Remember...<br /><br />'If it's important you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse.'<br /><br />And guess what? It is important, so we don't have an excuse!<br /><br />So ask yourself these Q...<br />What used to excite you the most? <br />What did you want to learn? <br />What kind of future did you envision? <br /><br />That is what you're going to aim towards.

<a id="H2-L"><h2>Set small achievable goals Daily</h2></a>
Those things you've always said I need to do more of, lets start a breakup glow up checklist. Yup, that I want to eat healthier, have one meat free day a week, drink more water, learn a new word a day, take vitamins...whatever it is, those small goals turn into habits!<br /><br />
<a id="H2-M"><h2>Take online courses</h2></a>
Self-development, it's empowering, it's sexy, it's intelligent and it helps you to grow. Ok, so above we spoke about reigniting a passion, how about broadening your knowledge or adding more to that passion to expand on it. <br /><br />Websites like Coursera and Open University (they had free courses), or learn a new language? Not only will you feel as though you're pushing yourself in a good new direction, it'll help with your C.V. You're possibly also benefiting those other areas in your life. <br /><br />
<a id="H2-N"><h2>Practice daily affirmations & Journaling</h2></a>
I wrote a post about this before. But just jotting down daily all our thoughts, focusing on the positives rather than the negatives as it might not seem as though we have many but it could of been that one t.v. show that made you laugh, appreciate that!
<br /><br />
It can take a lot of those thoughts from your mind, sometimes when I do it, I get those thoughts and feelings out and forget, it amazes me how much I don't focus on much of what was on my mind afterwards. People talk about it as new-age spirituality but it's like keeping a diary and that's not new age. It keeps you self-aware of how you are feeling and even if those sentences don't make sense, just dump it onto those pages, take a deep breath and relax. Subconscious journaling is a non critical way, just write and flow...try it!<br /><br />

<h3>Finances</h3>
When we look good, we feel good! It's the honest truth. We feel more confident to be seen, to go out and put ourselves out there! Some of the physical aspects might not be the quickest or the easiest but they'll form long-term healthy habits.<br /><br />
<a id="H2-O"><h2>Secure & Save</h2></a>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>Turn those tears into £££ & $$$! <br /><br />You've now seized your independence. Independent women are forever learners, whether it's reading financial books, seminars/webinars or even online resources that offer you the information on money and investing. <br /><br />
Pay attention to what is happening in the financial world - but always be careful who you learn from! Learn from people who are active in the field you're looking or are already in. <br /><br />
What is it that you want to achieve financially? And set a simple plan - keep it clear and concise.
<br /><br />
Put at least 20% of your monthly salary in a savings account. An option is follow them 50-30-20 budget method to sort out your spending. <br />
50% - necessities, such as bills, food, petrol<br />
30% - socialising, makeup, clothes etc<br />
20% - savings <br /><br />
If you want to try and save some more, try using browser extensions such as honey. It tells me if an item has gone down or up within 30 days & discount codes. Karma is a good one, you know when you see something and say to yourself - yeah when it drops in price, I'll get that but forget about it - that's me! <br /><br />Karma let's you save an item and then tells you when it's gone down. Plus you can send it to friends and family, for those 'I don't know what to get you moments'. </p>

<a id="H2-P"><h2>Reward</h2></a>
When you make small wins, pat yourself on the back - treat yourself. Whatever that is, it could be that your lifestyle change is going well and you want to reward yourself with a pizza - do it! That new eyeshadow palette you wanted - get it! <br /><br />
If our brain sees that we are rewarded for things, we are more likely to stick to it because we know if it keeps going forward positively, they'll be a reward but the ultimate prize? Getting your best life back!
<br /><br />
Babes, this is all for you and you can do it! Believe me, I've been there & it's not overnight. When you're on that otherside and looking back, you'll thank yourself for the journey and be proud of where you are now. Good luck!

The CBD market has become one of the fastest-growing in the world & this is due to the influence of celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow who take it to cope with stress and Alessandra Ambrosio takes it for anxiety. CBD is a non-intoxicating component of hemp plants. Extracted as a powder and mixed with oils to enhance its application and effectiveness. CBD does not contain THC which is the mind-altering property that gets people high. CBD is extracted from the stems and stalks of the hemp plant. The THC is exceptionally low that it often cannot be detected even by testing equipment. <br><br><br><br>
Gwyneth Paltrow, dubbed CBD ‘the hero ingredient of the future' in 2020 global CBD sales valued at 9.3bn, 40% was North America but Europe is begining to take note and closing the gap at 31%. There are so many ways to get the benefits of CBD, drinks, gummies, dropper oil, salts, bath bombs but I think the easiest way would be through skincare, especially for those wanting to dip their toes into using the ingredient. I have used CBD oil drops to help with anxiety and joint pain as I suffer with an on-going ankle & knee injury that flares up from time to time. CBD skincare benefits can include wrinkles free skin, signs of ageing and acne-prone skin but does it truly work?

<h2>Why choose CBD in Skincare? </h2>
Cannabidiol (CBD) sourced from hemp (Cannabis Sativa) stalks and stems. Rich in cannabinoids it helps restore balance in the body. Hemp seed oil is an omega-rich oil sourced from the seeds of the hemp plant, they don’t contain cannabinoid and normally only contain trace amounts of CBD. Being that CBD spreads reactivity in the skin by telling your skin to become calmer, especially if you’re suffering from redness, dullness and textured skin. If you suffer from acne-prone skin, it can be inflamed, uncomfortable and CBD can help to reduce breakouts and redness related to this as it’ll help to soothe and calm the skin. Research has shown that it can decrease excess sebum production, possibly helping to balance the skins natural oil production. Wrinkles & skin ageing – as the plant has antioxidant properties, the use of CBD topically can help lessen the signs of ageing by counteracting the free-radical damage. <br><br>

<h2>About EthicaCBD</h2>
A brand developed from issues faced by one of the founder’s Olivier when dealing with Ankylosing Spondylitis (debilitating autoimmune disease that brings severe back pain and muscle inflammation). Oli had looked into CBD but became frustrated by the inferior products available in an abundance. Therefore, he set about developing EthicaCBD with one end goal in mind – to offer the best CBD products on the market, placing an uncompromising emphasis on quality. <br><br>
<h2>How to use cbd oil for skin</h2>
I was kindly sent two products from <a href="https://www.ethicacbd.com" rel="sponsored" target="_blank">EthicaCBD</a>: <a href="https://ethicacbd.com/buy-cbd/cbd-infused-facial-scrub/" rel="sponsored" target="_blank">CBD Infused Facial Scrub</a> [Cleanse & Smooth] and <a href="https://ethicacbd.com/buy-cbd/cbd-infused-night-cream/" rel="sponsored" target="_blank">CBD Infused Night Cream</a> – Nourish & Restore. Which I have been using for the past few weeks. My skin benefits from exfoliation, CBD Infused Facial Scrub gives you a brighter and more radiant complexion. Infused with plum seed powder, a naturally fine abrasive easily absorbed by the skin. Hemp seed oil is nourishing and antibacterial to leave the skin clear & blemish-free. This scrub exfoliates without sucking out the moisture. CBD Infused Night Cream formulated with sesame, hazelnut, shea & hemp seed oils draw in moisture for tired skin, the combination gives a powerful blend to improve elasticity while you sleep, so your skin feels and looks refreshed, moisturised and restored in the AM.
<br><br>
<h2>My Experience</h2>
<div class="grid-post">
<p>The scrub is non-abrasive and creamy - you can even see the texture which does a good job of helping remove any left-over make-up, dirt and grime from throughout the day (I've even been using this on my chest). It's a soft scrub that you barely notice the 'grit', my face is left plump, fresh and awake. Even if you have sensitive/dry skin you can use this and benefit. Since using this my skin has had no congestion which can happens a lot during the warmer months and with wearing masks too, preventing maskne is a must. Key ingredients include: <b>Sesame seed oil, Shea Butter, Plum Seed Powder, Hemp Seed Oil</b> and <b>Jojoba Oil</b>. These ingredients together give a combination of Vitamins A, B, D & E, while healing damaged skin, preventing the bacteria related to blackhead and acne and leaving your skin soft, soothed and improved barriers.
<br>
The night cream is rich but not heavy. I've noticed a difference in the morning since I began using this. I started when we was having good weather & even while wearing SPF, my skin was feeling dried out due to the heat. It needed nourishment & I've found that with this, at first my skin was going through it but with continued use it's benefited greatly. It contains 3 of the key ingredients as the scrub with 2 others being <b>Hazelnut Oil</b>, a natural alcohol-free astringent, that'll help dry-oily skin (me right now, thanks to the sun), shrink pores, cleanse and removes bacteria, high in Vitamin E & fatty acids that'll improve the skins elasticity. <b>Aloe Vera Leaf Powder</b> an antioxidant with vitamin C, amino acids that soothes, moisturises & protects.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1hMpE7WARYwNMGQ7-Rk3ezV-qUSDwjs30b9cGnnWiZ1CrN3mevTktZZ-qX6I8MEgM4zwSIO6HFwjQ2oHeZEjSWR1_JZdJ7UhhKJKbrXdMxcm5DVhnLVMDjVYTOVUqI1Q2Vc6iJP_iVhz/s0/ethica-cbd-scrub-face-texture.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="730" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1hMpE7WARYwNMGQ7-Rk3ezV-qUSDwjs30b9cGnnWiZ1CrN3mevTktZZ-qX6I8MEgM4zwSIO6HFwjQ2oHeZEjSWR1_JZdJ7UhhKJKbrXdMxcm5DVhnLVMDjVYTOVUqI1Q2Vc6iJP_iVhz/s0/ethica-cbd-scrub-face-texture.png"/></a></div>
</div>
Now topically using CBD, I'd like to continue to use CBD within my skincare of course depending on the other ingredients, it needs to be able to benefit my skin. As I stated previously, I've used the scrub on my chest as when I get hot and shower later, I want to treat the areas that are prone to congestion and that can be an area I like to prevent breakouts and I've not seen any breakouts but I have seen that my skin texture looks smoother and more clear. With National CBD Day on August 8<sup>th</sup>, what's a better way then trying EthicaCBD skincare for yourself and see the benefits. I'd love to see in the future EthicaCBD develop CBD bath bombs, body washes and creams, I think targeting different areas of wellbeing with CBD would be a nice addition.

<p>We set boundaries for ourselves because we love and respect ourselves. Usually, we think of personal boundaries to communicate our needs to others as well as ourselves. Being a responsible adult is establishing limits for ourselves, making choices that are in our own best interest even when they don't seem the best at the moment. They help you monitor your behaviour and create a healthy structure for your life. <br /><br />There are different areas to set boundaries, physical, sexual, intellectual, emotional and financial are some examples. But today I'm going to focus on personal, maybe you're a people pleaser and while it can feel good to be doing for others, it can also become an energy drainer. As people will expect from you and continuously take and take while you begin to feel as though you're being taken advantaged of <i>Boundaries should reflect your goals and values but don't try to set too many all at once.</i></p>

<br /><br />
<a id="H2-A"></a><h2>Why it's hard to set boundaries with yourself?</h2>
We know that structure is good for us, but it can be hard to stick to. Have you ever asked yourself, why is that? <br /><br />A few examples could be:<br />
- During our adolescence, our parent's didn't set healthy boundaries or limitations for themselves. <br />
- They also didn't set any for you - inconsistency with rules, extreme rules or no rules. <br />
- Boundaries felt as though you were being controlled or deprived (like a strict diet). <br />
- Some mental health or addictions can impair your thinking or make it hard to limit yourself.<br /><br />
If no-one taught you how to set boundaries or explained them, it makes sense why you may struggle to set them now. Setting limits for yourself is one way that you can re-parent yourself.
<br /><br />
<a id="H2-B"><h2>Know what your limits will be</h2></a>
Have an idea of what you are willing to do. Boundaries aren't barriers, they're guidelines or limits, they help us to be open with areas that will be good for us. When we are setting boundaries, let us focus on the positives of what you will do. Instead of ruling out certain situations because they don't suit us when planned, make alternatives for your boundary. Such as you may dedicate certain days to doing things for yourself but maybe family wants you to do things on those days for and with them, compromise and settle on another day. Of course there will be some instances when you will say 'no, I will not..'.<br /><br />

<a id="H2-C"><h2>How to set boundaries with yourself</h2></a>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p><br /><i class="fas fa-caret-right" data-fa-transform="shrink-1"></i> First of all, let go of any guilt. People pleasers have a close relationship with guilt. I would be the same way, if at work I was asked to do a favour, the one time I said no, I would feel bad afterwards because I felt I let someone down for looking out for myself. It's a cycle we continue to be in as we don't like the feeling of guilt. <br /><br />
<i class="fas fa-caret-right" data-fa-transform="shrink-1"></i> You need to practice saying 'no thanks' without giving a reason, we actually don't owe anybody a reason as to why we are saying no. I understand it's common place to feel as though we need to explain but that leads us to feeling and exploring the internal guilt. So let's start of slow by just saying 'no thanks' day to day at least once with no explanation. <br />
But on the other hand, also accept when others tell you no!<br /><br />
<i class="fas fa-caret-right" data-fa-transform="shrink-1"></i> Have a VIP list, these will be the people (close friends & family) that you can regularly overshare personal information with. When you have a clear sense of your own boundaries you won't overshare and possibly make others feel uncomfortable or leave yourself vulnerable and exposed. You can share appropriate personal information but not too much or too little.<br /><br />

</div>
<i class="fas fa-caret-right" data-fa-transform="shrink-1"></i> As I'd mentioned above we can compromise, relationships rely on give-and-take. We have to remember it's not only our boundaries that need to be respected.
For example if someone asks you to do something on that day you can say to them...<br /><br /><span style="color: #89cff0; font-size: 11pt;"><i class="fas fa-comment-dots"></i></span> <i>"I won't be able to make it on that date but I'd love to schedule it for another night, if that's good with you?"</i> <br /><br />You're giving them a chance to make plans with you for another time that may work better. <br /><br />
<i class="fas fa-caret-right" data-fa-transform="shrink-1"></i> Taking a break from toxic relationships can be difficult but the most rewarding type of settling of boundaries as these relationships no longer serve you. Maybe you have a person in your life who constantly uses you as that sounding board for their problems or favours but never returns the favour or their personal struggles impose on your own sense of wellbeing. One-sided relationships can leave you feeling unloved, disrespected, unseen and unheard. Take a break and remove yourself! It is not selfish to put your own well-being first! <span style="background-color: #a993db;">Healthy friendships are reciprocal and mutually nourishing, not one-sided and depleting.
</span><br /><br /><a id="H2-D"><h2>How you can communicate these boundaries</h2></a>
For some this can induce anxiety and stress but over time it'll become second nature as you'll be able to communicate these boundaries to people with ease making sticking to them next to none. Be polite and confident, we aren't here to upset anyone but we also want our boundaries respected. How you respond to these situations will be personal to you and each situation, for example:<br /><br />
<span style="color: #89cff0; font-size: 11pt;"><i class="fas fa-comment-dots"></i></span> <i>"This topic of conversation is making me feel uncomfortable, do you mind if we change the topic?"</i><br /><br />
Think of situations you've previously been in that could arise again and jot down how you'd respond to them next time to protect your boundaries.<br /><br />

<p>In April, I decided that I wanted to get bio sculpture gel extensions. I began searching on Instagram and came across a local nail technician. I had an idea in mind for a nail design but I was informed that she no longer does extensions and due to the pandemic more women have decided to go natural. D.I.Y content was wild and searches saw people searching "how to give yourself a manicure", "how to buff, file, shape and shine". Then...it calmed, places reopened but many of us noticed naturally beautiful nails.
<br /><br />
The last time I had nail extensions was around 2014, in my YA-hood it was something I got done quite often but then I gave myself a challenge on my blog to grow my own nails and that was that. <br />

I don't have problems growing my nails the problem is keeping them strong and retained. During the first lockdown, my nails grew the longest they had in years, when I went back to work, wearing gloves & the drawers from hell, where I'd have to wedge my fingers into the opening to pry it. Cue the breakage. Now that we've parted ways, what better time than now to treat & grow them.

<h2>What is Bio Sculpture gel</h2>
It offers long-lasting colour that also helps to condition, strengthen and promote the growth of nails due to it's specialised formula. It is applied to the natural nail, tip or gel extension. Does bio sculpture damage nails? Bio Sculpture doesn't use nail preparation that dries out the nail bed and it's free from harmful chemicals like camphor, DBP, toluene, formaldehyde, and formaldehyde resin.
<br /><br />
<h2>Why choose bio sculpture gel?</h2>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>
Previously, I've had gel polish with the recommended removal method, nails would be left soft and brittle. After seeing reels/videos on the brand, I wanted to try bio sculpture. The nail tech I found on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gotlashedandnailedit/" target="_blank">@gotlashedandnailedit</a> was no longer offering the service but asked me about Bio Sculpture on my natural nails. I expressed my past feelings on gels then I learnt that bio sculpture is more effective to grow healthier nails. It reminds me of hair as healthier hair is better than long hair.
I instantly loved how she took her time to communicate and inform me about the products, it was more about getting the most from my nails than just giving a service! I could tell the passion and belief she had for this nail treatment. I sent her an image of my nails as I thought, I'm not going to get the most out of these stubs. My appointment was a couple days before my birthday and we went for the coloured French tip (which has since become such a favourite of mine). The image to the right, is my first visit and the first image is my 4th visit. I think the images speak for themselves. I usually always have square nails but decided to go for an oval shape on my 3rd visit and I'm so happy, it's the little things right? I get my nails redone every 3-weeks, they can last the recommended 4-weeks. I soak them off myself the night before with pure acetone takes about 15-20mins, the results, no softness or brittleness to my natural nails.

These two images are the 2nd and 3rd set I got and when I changed the nail shape. I think it's fun to just play around with the designs, as you can see I do love my pinks but I'm thinking to go for a classic red French tip next time before my new job 💅but let's see as <a href="https://www.pinterest.co.uk/laalaamonroe/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> always has me pining to my nail design folder. If you're local to Luton, I'd 100% recommend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gotlashedandnailedit/" target="_blank">Got Lashed and Nailed It</a>, she works from the comfort of her home and she's such a laugh, I enjoy visiting her. It's as though you're just chilling and chatting with a friend! I'd definitely say if you're looking to treat and grow your nails, Bio Sculpture Gel is the way to go!

<p>Spiritual wellness is best described as finding your life’s meaning and purpose, understanding the values, beliefs, and morals that guide your actions.<br><br>
Self love journals are the perfect way to start building up your self esteem and confidence. Focusing on my self worth has been tough, but it's rewarding in its own way it's also become an effective way to manage my mental health. Having high self esteem improves your moods, depression and anxiety. I'd at least suggest everyone to try a self love journal at least once to see if it's beneficial.</p>

<p> Taking one day and dedicating it to yourself to do all the things for yourself that you normally don’t get the time for. Caring for yourself and setting yourself up for the week is important, self-care can be however you see it but it’ll help you to have a better work-life balance, reduce stress and improves physical and mental health. A self-care routine should be approached like a sweet store, you indulge in one go – would you? You’d take what you want that day and come back for more. Self-care should be the same, don’t overwhelm yourself. Even change it up from week to week so it doesn’t become mundane. <br><br>
I need to start the week off right and of course getting a good night’s sleep is key. So today, I'm taking the time out to make myself feel good & yes, ok for many it's 'superficial' but remember the age-old meaning 'look good, feel good'? It rings true for many. Today is all about dry brushing & soaking in the bath, doing my hair, calming smells, meditation & journaling.

<h2>A Calm & Silent Start</h2>
Waking this morning, it was all about just taking a moment to be aware of my surroundings, gather my thoughts. I have lately set my phone onto certain DND settings either for when I'm working or just to have 'me time'. As I do feel there is a need to be away from the phone from time to time. Not to be too dependant, my first thought in the morning shouldn't be to look at others [not in a bad way] but to focus on my own mind.
<br /><br />
I've mentioned in previous posts how my back and neck sometimes when I wake, are the absolute worst. Doing stretches before & [even the position I sleep in] after I wake has been really beneficial. <br /><br />

<h2>What is the Wim Hof Breathing Method?</h2>
In the morning, I have started to do a Guided Wim Hof Method Breathing, it's been said that with consistent practice some of the benefits include; boosting your immune system, improving concentration, improving your mental well-being & increasing willpower. It's recommended to be done in the morning as the stomach is still empty. It's a great technique to just concentrate on the breath...I'll take about 10 minutes to relax afterwards & feel the after effects & hydrate. <br>

<h2>Mood Enhancing Scents</h2>
<div class="grid-post">
<p>Essential Oils play a big part in my day, you can get pure scents or a blend & they are targeted towards helping your moods. I'm going to be using <a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/collections/essential-oil-blends" target="_blank">Nourish London Essential Oil Blends</a> this week. I have two in <a href="https://fave.co/3wvyO0d" target="_blank">Calm</a> & <a href="https://fave.co/3zxvALF" target="_blank">Focus</a>. As I run the shower, I want to keep the calm mood continuing, so what I do is, I put a couple of drops on the bath so when the shower is running, it helps to diffuse the blend. Calm is made up of 9 essential oils: Frankincense, Bergamot, Lavender, Sweet Orange, Geranium, Patchouli, Sweet marjoram, Juniper & Rose.<br><br>Alot of these oils have properties to help feelings of relaxation and helping to ease stress or anxiety.
<br><br>Before I leave to go into the bathroom, I put my diffuser on with the Focus blend, so when I leave from one aroma, I'm already surrounded by another, especially when it's warm, having scented candles on, aren't always the best choice for me, being an extra heat source. The next best thing is a diffuser, helps to purify the air but also have a constant aroma that will enhance the mood. </p>

<h2>Bathroom Routine</h2>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>Hygiene is a big part of wellbeing, it's the taking care of ourselves part for our health that is needed. Brushing our teeth & taking care of our oral health is important, for some it can be hard just because of their mental wellbeing, what is routine & easy to do for others can be the hardest for others. I take a lot of time to brush my teeth, I do manual & electric as I like to brush my tongue with a manual toothbrush & floss then finish up with mouthwash. My next step will always be dry brushing, I've done a post on dry brushing & cellulite before.<br><br>
It helps to exfoliate, clean pores, reduce cellulite, boost energy, gets your blood circulating, lymphatic support, reduces acne & tightens the skin. We always brush <i>towards the heart</i> & where we do the circular motions those are where our lymph nodes are located: behind the knee, groin, elbow crease, armpit, neck & jaw (we massage towards our ears). </p>

We start at the bottom of our feet with long strokes to the knee, where we do circular motions, long stroke on the thigh and at the top of our thigh circular motions again. We do both legs, where each section is stroked 10 times. <br><br> The same for our arms, the elbow crease & elbow are where we do the circular motions. Our neck & chest, downwards towards the heart and our stomach circular motions around the belly button area & then upwards.<br><br>
I enjoy having mood uplifting products while in the bath & shower. My go-to for that is Soap & Glory. Their products are next to none when it comes to scents plus they're affordable.

<p>Did you know that the importance of social wellness gives people who have healthy relationships and a strong social network tend to live longer and respond better to stress? It’s reduction in stress and anxiety results in a healthier cardiovascular functioning and an enhanced immune system. As we are able to communicate, develop meaningful relationships with others while maintaining a support network that can help us overcome loneliness. As a child, I was able to make friends super easy, I’d have friends from all different friend groups, it helped me develop into the person I am today, it also made me realise how you do act differently from one friend group to the next and who, how and what I allowed myself to be shown as. It was a huge development and understanding in my life. This pretty much sums up the social wellness definition.
<br><br>
As I’ve grown older, I’ve also come to understand, how my life works socially and the social network I have created for myself. Relationships need to be nurtured and be mutually beneficial, having a relationship where it’s one sided, is draining and in my opinion – negative. In a lasting relationship people need to devote a set amount of time to the relationship to show that you’re both seen as a priority. Honesty and support for one another’s hopes and dreams. A relationship should be treated as a place to give – not a place to take. The easiest way to combine pillars of wellbeing are by doing social wellness activities

<h2>Van Gogh Alive</h2>
I took a trip to Kensington Gardens for the Vincent Van Gogh exhibition. This is the first time I have been to London, in months and to be honest a much needed day out. An opportunity to be able to take in breathtakingly beautiful artwork in an extraordinary way, Van Gogh Alive. Mindfulness – to be present in the moment. Don McLean – Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) is one of my favourite songs. Funny how this is World Wellness Week and I’m attending an exhibit about an artist who was diagnosed as insane and was placed into an asylum. He suffered from severe depression and probably one of his most recognised art works “The Starry Night” was produced while incarcerated in the asylum. He never saw his greatness become, selling only one painting! He continued to paint, although critics dismissed him but his brother, Theo, always believed in him – he himself was an art dealer who 'purchased' all of Vincent’s paintings and was his constant supporter. It goes to show that yes, maybe he was dealing with possibly schizophrenia and with mental illness most definitely not understood then, even in the 20th century it was still a very taboo, misunderstood illness – not visible to the naked eye - but that support he had from this brother may have been one of the driving forces to keep producing art work – that someone believed in his talent and dreams.

This one is important. Living a healthy life means you connect with others and give yourself the time you deserve to enjoy life and the things you enjoy to do. Repeat this to yourself when you’re feeling too busy as a reminder to make the time for things that are truly important.

<p>The benefits for me to having a social day does a lot more than I think. I feel as though I'm in the moment of what I am doing, not worrying about everything that is causing me daily stress. I had a day where I divulged in eye-capturing art in a multi-sensory experience. I forgot that I was standing for an hour, gazing around at the timeline of Van Gogh's work projected on the walls and floor, a unique blended scent is released in the space to evoke elements of the South of France – with top notes of cyprus, middle notes of lemon and bottom notes of sandalwood. Social wellness incorporating intellectual wellbeing with the activities planned. It's possible to tie many aspects of wellbeing into a day. A feeling of content and happiness of being outside of my usual environment gives me a boost.

I also feel as though it's personal development as there are a couple of beauty courses that I want to enrol in, so I’m taking the time to find a suitable course for me to do and gain more qualifications but I also have access to Coursera and I’m really trying to find a course that’ll benefit me, there’s just so many options that in itself is overwhelming but I have seen courses on psychology and mindfulness and as I’m interested in these subjects – duh! It would be a no-brainer to enrol in these and get a deeper understanding and well…qualifications too.

<h2>6 SIMPLE STEPS TO INCREASE YOUR INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS</h2>
<i class="fas fa-caret-right"></i> Debate an issue with a friend<br>
This one will be with a twist, how about doing it from the opposite viewpoint that you hold? Focusing attention on information that is different from your own beliefs can improve your intellectual wellness. You’re expanding your mind to grasp new information as it’s very easy to relay information that we already know and can explain fluently but from the other standpoint it’ll be trickier but you’re exercising your mind. I personally think that it can make you also see and understand a topic, you may not necessarily still agree with the viewpoint but you might understand [within reason of the topic]<br><br>
<i class="fas fa-caret-right"></i> Reading is FUNdemental<br>
Reading for many can seem like a chore, associated with studying more than ever as you get older and you never want to pick up a book again. Our attention span seems to have shortened to 30 seconds - 1minute instagram videos & a short caption but reading a book that is on a topic that you enjoy and want to know more about can expand the mind and it'll be more interesting than thinking you only need to read to study. Even if you read a fiction to escape into another world, you're exposing yourself to alternative words and learning but in a fun way. Reading is one of my favourite past-times. I am more a non-fiction reader as I love to constantly deep dive into subjects. <br><br>
<i class="fas fa-caret-right"></i> Learn a foreign language<br>
How mind challenging! We are exposed to different languages daily now and even in school, we are taught either French, Spanish or German – mine was the first two but I absolutely loved Spanish. There’s so many languages I’d love to develop my skills on such as Italian & French. Learning different ways to communicate, once again expands the mind and helps with being receptive to new knowledge.<br><br><br><br>
<div class="grid-post-plain">
<p>
<i class="fas fa-caret-right"></i> Play a musical instrument<br>
Remembering the first time I managed to play a song on the guitar – self-taught, I was so pleased and happy with myself. The process was fun but it was different from when I grew up playing the piano. We are learning to create sounds and display our emotions through an instrument. BTW the song I learnt, was Nirvana Come As You Are, I’m such a 90s child.<br><br>
<i class="fas fa-caret-right"></i> Play games / wordsearch / crosswords / Sudoku<br>
Sudoku, wow – I recall that ‘phase’ people would be doing it in books (our phones didn’t have apps back then) and I looked at all these numbers and blank boxes and immediately told myself I couldn’t do it. That wasn’t true, I had never tried. Wordsearches, I enjoy – I’m a little competitive when it comes to it, I play it like it’s bingo lol. It keeps the brain active and helps to maintain and build – these things don’t have to be boring.<br><br></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoiZFO0cBjEyK5-hKAFJrw5Ugo3JXAxL2DJNFZyN9G9s70XA3b9pOIIktnw4BmRCpAYzZXx5mcKv5xZ0EGeyjtwU5B6JlFh4nwdUG1LjXeYUvRjs2_H7YCi45-n1QVUbLnaY7Lwj7bBiIF/s0/increase-your-intellectual-wellness-playing-instruments.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="460" data-original-width="581" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoiZFO0cBjEyK5-hKAFJrw5Ugo3JXAxL2DJNFZyN9G9s70XA3b9pOIIktnw4BmRCpAYzZXx5mcKv5xZ0EGeyjtwU5B6JlFh4nwdUG1LjXeYUvRjs2_H7YCi45-n1QVUbLnaY7Lwj7bBiIF/s0/increase-your-intellectual-wellness-playing-instruments.png"/></a></div>
</div>
<i class="fas fa-caret-right"></i> Journal frequently<br>
Yup, the one thing I constantly go, on and on about. When you take the time out to write down thoughts it can mentally help especially if you struggle to express feelings or even if you’re trying to make sense of what or why you’re feeling the way that you are. Being able to identify your feelings and understanding yourself more, you’re increasing intellectual wellness by encouraging your mind to think deeper.

<h2>why you should have a side hustle</h2><div class="grid-post"><p>
Any side hustle can provide extra income and more control over your work but can be a lot more flexible for when and where you chose to work. You can set your hours and pretty much work from anywhere you’d like – providing the Wi-Fi connection is a good one if you need it.
<br /><br />
Making extra money in your spare time can give you so much freedom over your schedule and an extra boost of income each month. Side hustling can help you to dip your toes into this new venture, encourage you to do research and set the foundation for building your business on your terms. Side hustling covers a wide range of activities that you can look into and of course, make money from. You'll need to tap into some form of demand and market yourself effectively. For example, you could be in manager in finances but have always been curious about graphic design, you could begin by freelancing by offering to design & create logos, branding or websites for small businesses. Side hustles can even replace your main source of income, it gives you a chance to try something that you've always wanted to do & if it's profitable you can see if over time it's worth quitting your job.
So how to make money in your spare time from home? Let me give you a few ideas.</p>

<div class="grid-post-plain"><p>
If you’re good with photo and design software such as Adobe, you could design logos, flyers, packaging, business cards and another thing that is popular – downloadable templates such as Pinterest, Instagram stories highlight covers, cover photos. You could make an inspirational quote poster, those are popular too! I like having inspirational quote postcards around. It’s pretty endless on what you can design.<br /><br /> I use to <a href="https://www.dolcevanity.com/2012/08/past-week-catch-up.html" target="_blank">re-design my layout</a> so frequently, it was something you guys knew me for, I loved using different fonts and colour combinations & it was fun to just be creative, share my ideas with the world. To get you started you can download <a href="https://fontbundles.net/free-fonts" rel="sponsored">free fonts for commercial use</a>. You can set up an online store or use your social media to advertise for your services. Do a few mock-ups so that the client can see your design style.</p>

<h2>Personalised Gifts</h2>
<div class="grid-post"><p>There's nothing more thoughtful & caring than a personalised gift, personalised gifts show the recipient that the sender was thinking about them. There are a lot of items you can personalise such as mugs, journals, mason jars, framed text & if you're good at sewing, try personalising baby blankets or toys. Those always look so beautiful and something they can keep forever as a keepsake. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> is a brilliant place to open up an online shop, where you can also design your shop to showcase more of your talents. I found this post <a href="https://diyjoy.com/crafts-to-make-and-sell-ideas/" target="_blank">75 Most Profitable Crafts to Sell to Make Money</a> - has amazing ideas (how cute is that confetti vanity tray?)</p>

<h2>Most Profitable Beauty Crafts</h2>
<div class="grid-post-plain"><p>Giving bath bombs as a gift is not only a safe go-to for many but it's also very easy to make, the materials are inexpensive and once you find your combination of scented essential oils and maybe dried petals - it's a winner. Offering your customers personalised boxes, tissue paper, you could have your logo or whatever slogan/words the customer may like. <br /><br />I remember some years back, I had made my <a href="https://www.dolcevanity.com/2015/02/diy-glamglow-face-mask.html" target="_blank">DIY face mask</a>, those can be an idea for your business. Customise the jars could be fun, maybe even purchasing a circuit joy, anything you design with your fonts - print it out and stick it on. Another idea - handmade soaps, another inexpensive material costing and minimal time but you can become very creative with your designs, scents, techniques and herbs. It's endless!</p>
