Hello Everybody,
There wasn’t a blog post up on Friday because my life has been very hectic lately. If you don’t follow me on social media then you may not know, I’m doing up my bedroom and office after moving home from Universty.

Scroll free September…
Many of you won’t know this but like most people, I have struggled with mental health. I have suffered with anxiety since I was at secondary school and it’s only been recently that I’ve started to accept it and ask for help. Asking for help was one of the scariest things that I’ve ever done but it was definitely a step in the right direction and it’s something that I’m so glad I did.
My friends and family supported me the whole time and it’s so important to not be afraid to accept that you’re not perfect and ask for help. No one is perfect and mental health is not something to be afraid of!
In honour of sharing awarness for people who suffer with mental healthy I will be joining in in NHS’ scroll free September campaign. I will be taking a whole month off social media and I’m quite excited to see the difference that It could make to my mental healthy.

I will see you guys in October!

Hello everybody and welcome back!
It’s been four years since I turned my passion for makeup and fashion into a blog in which I would share my top tips and opinions with the world. Four years later and I’ve learned a lot like; how to stage my photos, how to edit photos, how to pose and how to love myself.
Garnier Ultimate Blends Photo Shoot*
Hi Guys,
Recently I was lucky enough to win Garnier’s Boots competition where I received a sample of Garnier’s new Ultimate Blends ‘Coconut Water and Aloe Vera range’. I also won the opportunity to attend a photo shoot on Wednesday the 24th of May in order to be the face of the new range which will be featured online and in store at Boots.
It was such a fun day and an amazing opportunity that I will never forget and will always be telling friends and family about! The staff were so friendly and Garnier spoiled me with products and pampering. I felt like a true princess for the day!
The new range includes three new products; Coconut and Aloe Vera, Coconut and Macadamia Nut and Coconut Milk.

– I received the Coconut Water and Aloe Vera range as well as a goody bag after the shoot full of various products that I can’t wait to try!
The new products offer nourishing, lightweight and deliciously smelling shampoos and conditioners ready for summer! I’ve tried the Coconut Water and Aloe Vera range and I could instantly see a difference in how shiny, sleek and weightless my hair was! I would definitely recommend the new range if you struggle with dry and dull hair!
The new products are out in Superdrug next week and Boots the week after or if you can’t wait that long they are available on Amazon!
Look out in Boots stores, website and social media for me and tweet me if you find the pictures from the shoot! I can’t wait for you guys to see the new products and campaign!
Let me know if you try the new range and what you think!
See you guys soon,
Lauren, XO
Liebster Award
The lovely blogger Sunhny recently nominated me for the Liebster award. I would like to thank her for nominating me for this great award of recognition.
*What is the Liebster award?: The Liebster award is a way of recognising new and upcoming bloggers around the world who have a high quality blog and high follower count.
I have been given some rules to follow before I answer the following questions:
- Thank the blogger who nominated you and include a link to their blog

- Ask them 11 questions
Okay, so lets answer the questions then!
What inspired you to start your blog?
I have such a passion for beauty and lifestyle. I follow so many beauty, lifestyle and fashion blogs so I decided to start my own blog sharing beauty and lifestyle tips.
I met the lovely Lily Pebbles at Muji beauty event a few years ago and asked her advice on starting a blog which also pushed me that bit further to go ahead and create my own blog and she is a huge inspiration to me.
High Street or High End?
I am definitely a high street girl.
My dad is Scottish and he always says that he saves money where he can and only pays for what he has to so I guess I take on the trait of not splurging money where unnecessary.
Where are you from?
I live just outside London in Hertfordshire 🙂
Who do you look at for guidance?
If I want advice or guidance I normally go straight to my Mum as we get on very well and I look up to her a lot.
Me and my mum are best friends and I can talk to her about virtually anything. We have a super close bond.
How much time do you spend blogging?
I am constantly thinking about what my next blog post could be but I post new blog posts twice a month.

What is your favourite blog post?
My favourite blog post featured on my own blog is my top 5 instagram accounts.
My favourite blog post on another blogger’s website is InTheFrow’s ‘why it’s important to get time away’ blog post which is linked HERE.
Who is your favourite music artist?
My favourite artist at the moment is Ellie Goulding.
I have been listening to her album Halycon Days on repeat.
What is your favourite song/album at the moment?
My favourite song is probably Lush Life by Zara Larsson.
Give one tip to new bloggers.
The first thing people look at when they look at your blog is the simple yet stylish theme that you have.
If your blog has too much information and colour then It can be disorientating!

Time for a break…
Hi Guys,
This past weekend someone very close to me sadly passed away. My Granddad had been in hospital for the past three weeks fighting an infection.
I will be taking a few weeks off from blogging due to this. I need time to grieve and say goodbye as well as spending lots of time with my family.
Don’t worry though, I will be back in three weeks with a fresh new blog posts! – Keep an eye on my Facebook page for sneak peeks into my next blog posts.
I really hope everyone understands! 🙂
