New year goal #1

First of all, Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely night :)

The last week (or two) has been a week of food, food and more food. Its been great for me but not so great for my hair, skin or anything else for that matter. My skin particularly is suffering, its feeling dry and looking dull. Thankfully by some miracle I haven't broken out in tons of spots! I haven't been drinking a lot of water at all and my skin really suffers when I forget to drink a lot, on top of that I've been eating lots and LOTS of sugar. I also stopped taking my vitamins which definitely had an impact! 

My skin routine has also taken a bit of a bad turn, I've been getting a bit lazy and its just adding to the whole problem. So I've been promising myself that come 1st January I will get back into my usual routine. Looks like the 1st January has come! and its only 3 more days till I'm back to work, how did that happen?! 

So with that said, my first goal of the year is to get myself back into my routine and to start getting properly back into eating healthier. I'm not about to start any drastic diets or anything, I've already had a text trying to sell me detoxing tea! 

Before the new year I also started a bit of a workout routine, I didn't stick to it all that well I'll admit but hey, it was December and its hard to stick at a healthy lifestyle when delish food is being thrown at you left, right and centre. I also have no willpower, especially when it comes to chocolate, my sweet tooth is ridiculous! But now is the time to get back on track. I wasn't planning to loose any weight, just to tone up but I think I'll do a little bit more cardio now, just until the extra Christmas weight is gone! I'll probably blog a bit about it on here, mostly to keep me motivated, if I know I have somewhere to come and kind of measure my progress then it will hopefully keep me from giving up!

Now I'm off to eat some porridge, down a load of water and have a bit of a pamper session!

Pamper time!

I didn't do any blogging after a particularly shitty weekend this weekend, I won't go into details but it's onward and upward from here!  If there's one thing that makes me feel good though it's a good pamper evening! I usually reserve Sunday nights for this, I like to unwind and prepare myself for the dreaded Monday morning :(. A good start to a pamper evening is a good bath! I love to use a lush bath bomb or bubble bar but I didn't have any (argh!) so I had to settle for dove cream bath. It's just not as bubbly but it does smell gorgeous and makes your skin feel so so soft. I did have my lush face mask to save the day though, wich I recently did a little review on. 

I also love to do my nails ready for the new week, they are usually looking a mess by Tuesday morning but at least I start with good intentions! I used 2 nail polishes from OPI, I got these in a mini set of 4 for my birthday and I swear it was a maleficient collection but I can not find it anywhere! So I'm not sure exactly what these polishes are called...I know I like them though! I used a 'gel' looking top coat from autograph, it does look nice but after a while it makes some weird cracks in your nail polish so it's definitely not the best. 

Any hoo all this did make me feel a little better :) time for a new week and some new healthy eating, blog posts to follow!
