Winter Warmers

Hello,

I wanted to show you all what I would wear here in England to keep warm but still look stylish

Jumpers:
I have this camel coloured jumper which is oversized and has these gorgeous slits up the sides which you could wear on it own (as its amazingly warm) or layer some cute lace tops underneath so they pop out the sides...

Jumper from H&M

Coat:
I have a few different coats but by far my favorite has to be a clean cut tailored coat which again is in a dark camel colour from New Look

New Look Coat

Boots:
I have flat boots and heeled boots to keep my feet warm round this time of year and my favorite ones are flat black velvet ones I brought from Boohoo which aren't on the site anymore but I will link similar ones

What do you wear to keep the winter months ?

Hope your all well

IBS and Anxiety

Hello,

I have been dealing with IBS and Anxiety for a good couple of years now and I know that alot of social media, Bloggers and Youtubers have come out and made content on the subject. I'm really happy that now more people are coming to terms with mental illness and not brushing the subject off.

I wanted to go through my story in case I can help anyone at all out there that's going through the same thing which is the most important part of this "Your Not Alone"

It started back in around 2012 when on nights out I would start to get a nervous stomach and use to think everyone was staring at me and the room always use to feel as if it was closing in.
I always thought it was just me or the alcohol I was drinking, but over time it seems to be I become nervous when I know I have an event or need to get somewhere new.

Although my IBS goes hand in hand with my Anxiety as I always feel nervous traveling or being in public and feeling like I need to rush to the loo to put it lightly, which then puts me in a anxiety state.

Back in 2014 I was diagnosed with IBS and I have struggled ever since, a girl who loves food being told to only eat certain foods was hard.
They told me to diet or follow a FodMap Diet and I always try my best but everyone has slip ups right ?

Tips for IBS

1. Always drink plenty of water to flush through your digestive system

2. Peppermint Oil tablets work wonders on wind and for any ingestion you can get from having IBS

3. Buscpan is amazing for bloating and cramps

4. Not eating over 8pm has helped me alot for each morning I get up now

Tips for Anxiety

1. Never just think of the negatives in the situation your nervous for (you can always make out it will be 10 times worse and that's not always the case)

2. I listen to calming apps on my i-phone when im traveling to calm me and take my mind off my IBS

3. If things become worse - take yourself away from the situation for 5-10 minutes (for example when I was out in a pub or club I would just sit outside or in the toilets and gather my thoughts before continuing)

4. I have now found out Netflix have a download bit so you can watch on the go so I will download a film and watch it on the way to work and back to take my mind off IBS symptoms

If you are struggling with any mental health or illness please see someone and talk to someone, easier said than done I know but its truly the best way to get it off your chest and get help for easier day to day life.

How to lighten your hair

Hello,

I wanted to to create a blog post on the steps I took to get lighter hair as it was a very long hard process which took patience and commitment.

1. I got a blonde bleach kit from Boots: Jerome Russell Blonde Kit

2. I then had to wait the ginger/yellow period out as you need to rest your hair so it doesn't become brittle and dry

3. Then i went and got the colour I wanted my end result to look like and left that on for half an hour. I used the: Garnier Olia Colour in Ash Blonde

Today I have caught up Vlogmas which at the moment I am loving Zoe and Tanya's

Also I went onto Netflix and watched Arthur Christmas which I must say is this most magical experience I've ever sat through. Its got the magic of Christmas along with laughter and heart felt moments.

Now i'm sat here overwhelmed by how close Christmas actually is, I now need to wrap my presents and watch even more Christmas films !!

Let me know what you do to get into the Christmas sprit ...

Hope your all well

My Weight Story and Slimming World

So most women have all been there where our “devil” (dark side) always talks us down and makes us want to lose weight. Growing up the media made sure the public knew if you were “small” you would be beautiful. When I was 16 I did a photo shoot with an agency in London and they said “yes you photograph well but your too fat to get into the model industry” which as you can guess destroyed me when I was young.

However…

As I’m growing up I’m starting to learn about my body and a MASSIVE key factor is Slimming World, going back a few years ago I tried a few times but that dark side always talked me down and I gave up on it. Since early this year I re-joined and have stuck to it… Yes it’s hard and Yes I have bad weeks but recently I have really thought what I’m putting into my body and really enjoying sticking to plan.

It’s a huge help that I have an amazing consultant (Kerry) she is understanding and an amazing caring women who brightens your week up when you go. In group it’s always about amazing love and support and no one ever judges you on what you have lost or gained and it’s an amazing journey in my life at the moment.

So I’m hoping as I get older and lose weight the healthiest way possible I will learn to love myself. So I wish I could go back to and tell my 16 year old self to accept her body and other great things will come!

If you have ever thought about joining Slimming World I can 100% say it works if you give it chance and stick to it!
