I still can't believe Zoella Lifestyle is a thing, a beauty range was one thing but a home and lifestyle range is another level. I am still so proud of her so I couldn't pass another opportunity to pick up some of her new range. After a few struggles of finding stores that sell it and delivery issues, I finally got my hands on it. The whole range is gorgeous and right up my street, I wish I could off bought the whole range!

'Naps Fix Everything Cushion' - £12.00

The quote, first of all, just suits me perfectly, I love it!! The colours are also so pretty, grey, white and baby pink are my all time fav combinations, I think they work so well together. The back of the cushion is super soft, and would be great to lay on.

However, I will say that I am slightly disappointed with the size and the front. For some reason, after watching Zoe's Apartment Tour I thought it was going to be bigger and maybe better quality. The back is so much more comfortable than the front which isn't a massive deal, I just thought it was going to be softer. Nevertheless, I do love it and it is a great addition to my room!

'Pottering Around Decorative Storage Pots' - £10

How cute are these?!?! I actually just bought new storage pots but they were too cute not to buy. I love the quirky saying and the colours are two of my favourites. I am keeping the 'Pick Me' pot on my dresser with, as you can see, my Kylie fam and I am putting the 'Blooming Marvellous' pot beside my bed to keep my new pencils ;)
You could use these for many things, keeping plants, pens etc They are super handy and fit perfectly with my room!!!

'On My Travels Backpack' -£50

YESS I GOT IT!! I GOT THE BACKPACK. When I saw Zoe posting this on Snapchat I fell in love. I have been looking for a new backpack so this was perfect, the price, however, was a little bit off-putting. Nonetheless, I decided to go for it as you do get a few bits inside.

'Write On Point Pencil Collection'
I love the adorable sayings and the colours, they fit perfectly in my new pots beside my bed!

'The Key To Inspiration Keyring'
I probably wouldn't have bought this but I do love the rose gold and I
love the message!

'Warm Hands Travel Mug'
I love this, I have been looking at buying one of these so it is a win-win, I love how it is a screw lid so I won't have to worry it spilling and again the saying is too cute.

The bag itself, like I said, is beaut and I honestly can't wait to use it (Although I don't wait to ruin it! :o)

Overall, I absolutely love the whole range, I wanted some of the candles but I feel that I have to go into Boots or Superdrug to give them a smell.

What I love the most is how simple the branded is, I was worried the name 'Zoella' would be splash everywhere but they have kept it very simple with a 'Z'.

I am very proud and I hope Zoe keeps growing her profile!

Have you bought anything from Zoella Lifestyle, Let me know what you think??
Have a great day!

Who is excited about the fact Zoe brought out a full Christmas range? ME!!!

I knew when Zoe mentioned the scent was Gingerbread, I had to get my hands on whatever I could!

I want to start off by saying a big thank you to Zoella Beauty for featuring my picture below on their Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, I can't quite get over the amount of people that actually seen it. I also want to thank Zoe's fans for the amazing feedback and comments on the picture, I have had nothing but love on my profiles since then!

I am very grateful and have been itching to upload this post since then. ENJOY!!

I firstly got 'Secret Scenta Mini Mist'- It contains 4 mini body mists.

'Blissfull Mistful'

'Lets Spritz'

'Sweet Inspirations'

'Bake My Day'

They are perfect to pop in your bag for your everyday make-up bag or travelling. I took 'Sweet Inspirations' with me to Paris. I haven't tried 'Lets Spritz' or 'Blissfull Mistful' so it is a perfect size for a tester. I'm also OBSESSED with 'Bake My Day'. I honestly see myself wearing it every day in the next couple of months. I may have to purchase the full sized mist!!

I also got 'Let's Go Places' - It includes :-
'Ginger Cream' - Body Cream
'Shower Glaze'- Shower Gel
'Hungry Hands'- Hand Cream
A Shower Lilly
Honestly guys the scent is insane, it is the same is 'Bake My Day' which is a Gingerbread! It is very fragmented and reminds me a lot of Costas Gingerbread Creamy Coolers. It is Christmas in a bottle.
The whole set is perfect, you have Ginger Cream which is super moisturising, Shower Glaze which makes bath/shower time a Christmas dream and my favourite Hungry Hands, I swear I could eat my hands. AND can we talk about the cute packaging, it is like a mini suitcase that can be turned into the cutest storage, the colours are also my fave combo.

I am so happy and proud of Zoe on her new Christmas range, I can't wait to use it fully in the weeks to come. I am also so excited about Zoella Lifestyle, you best believe it will feature on here soon.
Hope you are having a wonderful day!
Love Emma

Wow, how fast is the year going! The first few days of this month have been a bit bland, how rubbish has the weather been, like come on, it is July!!! Anyway, July is an exciting month, my 21st on Tuesday and Beyonce on Thursday, so I can't really complain!

I should be uploading a birthday haul so keep an eye out either Tuesday or Wednesday, but for now here are my June Favourites! :)

Starting with none beauty favourites, I'm not sure if I've ever mention my love for Gossip Girl on my blog so I thought I would give it a mention!

I went through a massive obsession with it and then kinda stopped! I watched it on and off, but this month I raced through Season 5 and 6 and sadly finished it!

I feel like if you are a super girly girl then you would love this programme!

I kinda wanna watch it all again, one, because it was amazing and two, since going to New York it is so weird to see places I've been!

I will miss watching it ALOT, but I'm still Just waiting to find my Nate Archibald! ;)

I feel like I'm so late to be posting these albums in my favourites but I just recently purchased them and have been listening to them non-stop! Number one is Adele's 25 album. Her voice is insane and her music is incredible! If I want to have a chill out session, this is perfect.

Number Two is Beyoncé - Lemonade! Her voice is also insane but I am so excited that I am actually seeing Queen B in a few days! This music has been perfect for when I want to jam and have a good dance!

Some days I can jam to Beyoncé and then I can jam to Adele. It's the Best of Both Worlds!

My favourite song is A Million Years ago, that just hits major feels, and Daddy's Lesson because it is so catchy!

A new purchase make-up wise this month, was these Real Techniques Brushes! From what I gather they are only sold at SuperDrug but I could be wrong. After getting my Zoeva brushes I swore I wasn't going to buy any more brushes but after I heard great things about these, I bought them on a wimp.

I will always say that I feel Real Technique brushes are highly underrated and are some of the best! And these are no different!

The 'Fanning' brush is perfect to apply highlight on my cheek bones, and both the Sculpting Brush And the Setting Brush are great for contour! Paired with the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit, they have been a great addition to my collection!

I have also been loving my Naked 2 palette, I got it at Christmas(what I got here) and I'm starting to really use it now! It has a lot of great Browns for a smokey eye but what I love is the shimmer shades! I have been reaching for this palette a lot through June! My favourites have been 'Snakebite' and 'BootyCall' which is a gorgeous highlight.

My beauty favourites this month HAVE to be Zoe's new range, I did a full post about it (here). The little purse which has been perfect to help motivate me to save money for next year and the Sweet Inspirations body mist ,which I have gotten complimented on a lot when I wear it, have been my ultimate fav out the collection and had to make it on this post!

Last and not least has to be a personal favourite, and that is pushing myself more. I tend to stick to my comfort zone and sometimes that doesn't get me anywhere.

I went to a family party where for the first time ever the dog Leo was there. He was always put in the kennels but I wanted to get over my fear and be in the same house as him, it ended up being completely fine and I had been worrying over nothing.

I also went to my first ever Blog Meet-up hosted by Ruth , meeting different bloggers and just having a good chat was something I would never do. It was great fun and I ended up meeting the lovely Jade (blog here). If anyone has any meet-ups in Edinburgh let me know!!

And the biggest moment for me this month was putting a deposit down for Americamp 2017, I had wanted to work at a Summer camp this year but I just wasn't ready. But my deposit is down for next year plus my application has been started. I am LEGIT so excited for next year!! So fingers crossed!

Let me know what you have been loving, and if you have any fun plans ahead?

Love Emma

I have never been more excited about on of Zoe's new beauty range, I think it is mostly to do with the colour scheme of the whole thing. She has used some of my favourites colour combination so it would be rude not to support Zoe's new products.

As an extra bonus post, as I am too excited, I thought I would share what I ordered.

The first item that I was most excited about is the 'Life is Sweet Beauty Bag'.

I am currently saving for Summer 2017 and I've been needing somewhere to save the cash, I thought this bag would be perfect.

I adore the frill round the edge of the bag and I think it just adds a cute touch. I also love the colour, I am massive pastel lover so this pastel blue is just too cute.

The quote on the front is a bonus and I hope it will motivate me to save my money.

Next up is the Sweet Inspirations Body Mist. I haven't tried any of Zoe's body mists but with the new range and new scent I thought I would give it a go.

First of all, the bottle itself is so pretty, I love the palm patterns that you can see through the bottle, and, like the rest of the collection the colours are gorgeous. It will fit perfectly with my dresser!

I think Zoe describes the scent well in her video but to me in smells like summer.

Its a lovely sweet fresh scent, It reminds me a lot of sugared almonds which I used to love! The smell lasted a long time and I could smell it throughout the day!

The Bath Latte Bath and Shower Milk was something I really wanted to try, I love a good soak in the bath but I also love a quick shower so its fab that I can use this product in both situations! Its the same scent again so I loveee it!! I will say that for some reason this is my least favourite packaging, maybe because it has no pink in it? But I do love the idea of the milk bottle.
It created a great amount of bubbles for my bath but it also left my skin feeling lovely and soft.

Lastly, is the Sugar Dip Bath Salts, this is the only product I actually haven't tried yet. I am excited to use this as some days, I don't want to have a bath with all the bubbles and baths bombs but still feel relaxed and clean! These bath salts just make the bath smell nice which I think will be perfect for these days! I want to point out I am in love with the packaging, (the colour, the shape, the font) its very pleasing for the eye!!!

A BIG CONGRATS to Zoe and team for the launch of the Sweet Inspirations collection, I am sure it will be a success! At the same time I ordered my third 'Scrubbing Me Softly' Body Scrub as it is my favourite product!

*I have realised that most of the products I linked have actually sold out, I purchased them on FeelUnique but Super Drug may still have some in stock!

Let me know if you have bought anything from the range and what you think of it?

Hey m'lovelies. How has everyone been? Thank you to anyone who donated to Cancer Research, We smashed our target as well as our time for the Race For Life, Well done if you participated.
Now that the Race is over and done with it is all steam ahead for my summer holidays. The next few weeks will be a lot about my hols so prepare yourself ;)

One thing that is essential for me during the summer is FAKE TAN. I have super fair skin and rarely tan. I thought I would share what I use to help get the perfect tanned look.

The number one product I use is Fake tan. For the first time, I am using St Tropez Bronzing Mousse. I have always used St Moriz but this year I thought I would go all out. It is a bit pricey but for the quality it is extremely worth it.

You will need to exfoliate your whole body before to help keep the tan on. I haven't photographed it but I use a normal tanning mitt to apply the tan. Make sure it is applied evenly so there are no streaks. I tend to have a few mirrors in my room so I can see right round my body.

I really love St Tropez, it doesn't have a strong smell at all and it applies so easily. I have had the tan on for few days and although I have had baths and showers it is still visible. It is very long lastly which will be perfect whilst I am on holiday.

I picked it up at Boots, but any Chemist/Drugstore will definitely have it.

The St Tropez Instant Glow Body lotion is not a must have but I find it very helpful. If I do not want to spend time with the tanning mousse, have't got time or just want a quick bronzed up I reach for this. Is gives you a tan right away without having to wait. I have noticed because this is a lotion it comes off quite easily, this is not a major problem as I can just reapply.

If I have already used my bronzing mousse, I normally will use this on areas that I feel get washed the most ie face or hands. Applying this to either, is really handy to brighten and top up my tan.

What I love about St Tropez products is that they are infused with Vitamin E to protect and repair the skin. It is always nice to know that you are not damaging your skin.

Getting the perfect tan is important but I thought I would share what I use in combination to get a perfect tanned face. Using fake tan on your face I find instantly makes it look much better and healthier. I veer away for a very heavy make-up look and use a BB cream. BB creams are very useful in the summer anyway.

I use Garnier Miracle Skin Protector BB cream. I have it in the shade Light however it is quite dark. It is also rather thick so I will use a tiny about of Nars Sheer Glow too thin it down. It covers any blemishes without being heavy. It is the ideal shade,base and consistency for a great Tan. It is also has a good SPF which is makes is suitable in very hot days.

The last product I use is Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer. I have mention before how much I love this stuff. The lightest shade is again too dark for everyday but using it with a tan is a winning combination. If you have ever used the concealer you will know it has shimmer through it which adds to the glow of your face. It has different moisturizing ingredients which will prevent your skin drying up in the sun. I would highly recommend this for those who have darker skin.

Hope this helped. Let me know what you use

for a perfect tan? Have you any tips?

Also let know what other holiday related posts,

you would like to see?

Happy Sunday, today is a special Sunday. It marks the third year in a row I am participating in the Race For Life.

When you are reading this I will be A. Racing B. Finish C. Resting at home ;)

Here is our Just Giving page just I case you have extra pennies to spare.

https://www.justgiving.com/wendylanglands5/

I thought in honor Of the Race for Life I would show my favourite work out gear.

The right shoes.

I feel that you have to get the right pair of shoes for the perfect workout. They have to feel comfortable and for you right.

I have two pair of shoes.

My first are Skechers Tone ups. I bought these a few years ago and they have lasted me since then. They are super comfortable and very breathable. I tend to use these if I am doing intense waking as like I said they are tone ups and they help make the workout burn. Haha

The second pair I Have are Nike Free Run, I bought these last year, again for walking but for more light walking. And for the gym.I fell in love with the style and the colour and they are my go to shoe. They are ideal for comfort and durability!!

Sport Bras are essential for making your workout or exercising comfortable.

I again have two. One I bought cheap at Primark that has served me a long time. It is super plain but it brilliant to hold everything in especially in the gym. Lol

The second is more expensive but super high quality. It is from Nike and it is for light support. I use this if I am doing home exercising or walking. It is super comfy and I love the colour. Nike have amazing workout gear so I would definitely have a browse in Nike.

Throwing on a pair or plain leggings is the best for comfort but I do have two favourites, (yes I have two of everything. I guess I like to keep my options open) ;)

Both are from Victoria Secret Pink. VS is one of my fav shops , as you can tell I am so excited to be able to shop myself whilst I am America.

If you haven't tried Yoga pants then you are missing out. They are thee comfiest things ever. One has a fold over waist band the other doesn't but to be honest it doesn't make a difference. I wear these in the gym or lounging about, anywhere really.

Keeping hydrated is something you should always do when are doing any form of exercising. This 1.7 ltr VS water bottle is very handy. It holds a lot so I can measure how much I am drinking through the day. Not to mention the bottle is the coolest thing ever....

iPhone/IPod Holder. I always find this really helpful. Whether you are on a run, cycling or on a bike it is much easier to listen to music whist having one of these. It means you don't have to hold it and you can let you hands/arms free.

I was given this as a Christmas present from my parents last year and it just so happens to match my Nike sports Bra! WIN!!!

And finally MOTIVATION!!!!!

Without motivation you will get nowhere. You have to think positively and start somewhere. I can say since my job has became a lot busier with different hours going to the gym has been very difficult but with a set home workout it can be much better for you.

Go in to any exercise with the right frame of mind and you will be perfect!! :)

Let me know, if you want anything fitness health related. Hope you are having a wonderful day!! I'll be having a nap but this time so enjoy your day!!!

Hey guys, How fast has May went, Not that I am complaining since June is super exciting for me!! So once again it is that time of month again.... Here are the products I have been loving in May.

Nail Care... As you might of seen from my Nail care Haul/review I purchased a few items to help take care of my bad nails. Using the Sally Hanson Strengthener has really helped strengthen my nails. I can feel my nails are a lot stronger and they are not breaking at all. Plus using the Sally Hansen Polish Remover has really helped with recovering my nails.

Carrying on from nail care, I have been loving a French Manicure. Ever since my nails have improve I have had more patience to spend time on them. I absolutely love how a French Manicure looks. I have been using Essie 'Romper Room ' or Tanya Burr Mini Marshmallow with Essie 'Blanc'.

Coconut oil. I rarely have hair care products in my favourites because I never put a lot of effort into my hair. I wash and dry shampoo it and that is about it!!! But I have a wedding in July and I really want my hair to be in a brilliant condition, as well as longer. My cousin recommend Coconut Oil to help grow my hair. I bought OGX Weightless Hydrating coconut Oil. I can't really see hair growth so far but it has really made my hair feel super nice. It also smell so lovely, I would highly recommend.

Zoeva 234 Luxe Smoky Shader brush. I bought this brush a while ago but have been loving it this month. Firstly I love the colour, it is so pretty. Secondly, I have been wanting a Zoeva brush for a long time so I am thrilled to have it in my collection. Thirdly, it is a very good brush. It is so easy to pack my lid with colour, as it holds a lot of shadow on the brush. It is super soft and I am in love with it.

In terms of TV programs I haven't had any new stand outs, apart Once Upon a Time, but that was in last months favorites. I have however been loving Spotify Chill Out Playlists. I have always stuck to the albums I am familiar with but I venture out and found the best laid back playlist. I love to have it on in the back round, whether I am reading or writing. In fact I have it on just now. It is so calming and 'Chill' Two sounds that have stood out and I have played on repeat are Kodeline- The One and John Mayer cover of XO.
Last but not least I will mention my food favourites. As you can tell from my last post, I have been loving Corn thins with Almond butter with Strawberries. But Vegetables Crisps HAS to be my number one this month. I could seriously live of them. I don't know if they are the healthiest things to eat but I don't care ;) Marks and Spenser or Costa Coffee probably do the best.

I am so excited about the next coming months, I have a lot of ideas for blog posts.

So keep your eyes peeled.

What have been your May Favourites? Let me know?

Love Emma

So I really enjoying watching 'What's in My Make-up Bag' videos on Youtube and I love reading about it too. It is interesting what other carry with them on a day-to-day basis. I would say I carry a small amount with me. 1. I feel it isn't always essential to carry it with you and 2. I have a pretty small make-up bag that I can not fit a lot in.

My make-up bag was given to me as a gift a few Christmases ago from my parents. I am a massive lover of Cath Kidston so I am in love with it. Like I said it is small but I like to carry the bare necessities with me.

A mirror is always essential to carry with you. How many times do you get asked if you have a mirror in you? It is super handy. Whether it is for a quick yet or to reapply make-up I need it in my make-up bag. This one was actually already in the make-up bag.

I don't have enough space to carry a whole tube of foundation, so I carry around this sample of Clinque Redness Solution Foundation. I am not a big fan of Clinque but it is super easy to carry around this little tub.

Rimmel Stay Matte powder is again essential. This, for me, is the best powder I have found so far. I like to carry this with me as well a sponge applicator just in case my face get shiny throughout the day.

Collection 2000 concealer. I don't know how many times I have mention this stuff on my blog but it is amazing and I must carry it around with me to touch up my under-eyes or nose.

Benefit Bad Girl Mascara. I wouldn't say it was the best mascara from Benefit but it very useful to keep in my bag. It does it job although I am not keen on how big the bristle is compared to the mini size of the bottle but it is for on the go so I can tolerate it. I am however itching to get my hands on Roller lash Mascara.

The last three things I fit into my make-up bag is items I use the most where ever I go.

Anti bacteria hand gel is absolutely necessary. You never know when you are going to need it. I tend to use before I eat my lunch or after I use the bathroom. It is nice to be clean and germ free ;)
Very recently I have been carrying hand cream, my hand go extremely dry and it started to effect my nails. Since I have been using it everyday my hands and nails have improved a great deal. I really like this smell, I got it in a 4 piece set for my Christmas.
The last thing is my tiny Victoria Secret Bombshell perfume. It is so small that I can easily place in my make-up bag. I really love the fragrance and it is always nice to freshen up through the day.

Hope you are having a fab weekend what ever you are doing!

What is in your make-up bag?

Love Emma

Hope everyone is having a fab week, I am feeling much better so I thought I would give you a bonus midweek blog. Everyone has things that make them happy in the daily routine. Here is a few things that I like to do in my chill time.

Bedroom set up.

I would definitely say a good book is a good place to start if you have spare time. A great book can put you in a completely different atmosphere, it can make you happy or can make you sad . Either way it can distract you from many things. The book I am reading at the moment is Rainbow Rowell 'Eleanor & Park'. I was a massive fan of 'Fangirl' so I decided to look in to her other book. I am really loving this book. A cup of Green Tea and a cosy duvet is perfect in this situation.

Doodling is also fun. Whether you are an artist or not, get a blank piece of paper and start doodling. You never know you just might create a masterpiece. I am loving this Fashion Sketchbook. I received this at Christmas and I love it. Whether is drawing of a past outfit, future outfit or an over the top outfit, I love it. I am not the best artist nor fashion designer, having it beside my bed gives me the idea that I am. Getting the right equipment and a perfect soundtrack can make the day fly by.

Carrying on from doodling, Having a diary or writing paper is must. I love to write my ideas about blog posts or my favourite quotes from the day. Taking the time in the day to write in my diary can also bring out the best points in my day. Looking through on my younger diarys makes me laugh. I normally keep at home but you could also take it in your bag and carry it with you. It doesn't have to be a fancy diary but a pretty one can help motivate you to use it.

I can also find inspiration on Tumblr. Whether on my phone or on my laptop I find I can spend hours scrolling and reblogging. Like I said I can find inspiration about outfits, bedroom ideas and eating ideas. It can make the day/night go quick. Maybe to quick!!!!!! (*Enter Self Promotion Here*) .

I hope to do more posts like this, I have a few ideas for new posts so keep an eye out. I really want to blog a lot more. I am trying really hard. :)
