Twenty Fourteen

It's gonna be a great one, I just know it. 

Thank you for all of your support over the past year- whether it be on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or on ze Blogosphere. Had an awesome time filming, snapping and writing for you all. 

Heres a picture which I think sums up my year. Its been cray cray. 


I turned twenty six. I met Carly, Onna and Liz at Shoot Me Fab. Travelled to the New Forest. Had a 'Spice Girls' High Tea with my Mummy. Got infected with Shingles. Started a new Job. Enjoyed the 'Last Fisher Family' holiday in Portugal, or so my Dad thinks. Learnt to pole dance and was pretty darn good at it. Had THE best USA themed Bridal Shower EVER. Married my best friend. Watched my little bro play at Twickenham. Explored San Diego, LA and San Francisco. Met Lily and Anna at their Kiehls Meetup. Took part in a epic bake-a-thon with Mumma Fish. Celebrated an amazing Christmas day surround by Fishers and Mr Lawrence. 

So what will 2014 bring? You can make a change to your life- any day, any time. Don't wait for a new year or even a new day to change your mind set- live to to the fullest. That being said, here are my resolutions- 

1. Train more frequently. When I do I train hard- BUT towards the end of 2013 I let my 4x a weekly routine slip and I am definitely gonna get a hold of that this year. I am loving my Ashtanga yoga with Krishna Yoga and my Husband is opening his own Crossfit Box (Crossfit2012) so I will have NO excuses. 

2. Clean up my Diet. I do eat in a paleolithic/ primal style and my main meals have remained that way. But in the festive season I have definitely consumed more alcohol and sugar than normal and I am feeling the bloat. So I gotta tighten the treats up just a little and flush out the baddies so that I can feel confident in my skinnies once more. 

3. Don't set myself up to fail. I tend to set myself unrealistic expectations. From work, to training, perfect diet, skin, hair, nails, youtube, blogging, my house etccccccccc. No one is perfect, and I can't expect myself to be. So I need to learn to be happy about where I am in the moment, take joy from everyday, especially the little things. 

4. Be kind to myself.  Sorta, kinda goes with what I said above. But I just have to reiterate. Your biggest critic will always be you. Criticise less, compliment more.. you catch my drift. 

5. Read more. I'm not talking blogs, grazia, daily mail or any other showbiz news. I mean real, hard core books. Perhaps even some fiction. I know I need to, I should want to grow my vocabulary, suspend my disbelief and enjoy being quiet still. I claim to have NO time, but you make time for what is important. 

So what do you think? Good rezzies? What are yours? Liz xoxo

November GlossyBox 2013: Wishlist Edition


So, it’s been a while since my last Glossybox* and first impressions are AMAZE! Thoroughly enjoying the newly improved Glossy mini mag and its matching product info card. A million miles better than the newspaper style paper pamphlet AND it still remains as informative as ever.

Now, lets get down to the nitty gritty- what’s actually inside the box?

 


Yves Rocher: Cocoa and Raspberry Moisturising Hand Cream (full size in box)
£1.95 for 75mls available at yves-rocher.com
Errrrr BARGAIN! A little goes a long way with this hand cream- I tend to be overzealous and squeeze out wayyyy to much. But, even when I do the product still sinks in beautifully and does not leave my hands feeling super slippery and greasy. AND the smell is sooo good- bit jel that other ladies got to sample the cocoa and pistachio ( I LOVE nutty scents!) but this is a firm desk drawer fave.

Elegant Touch Nail Polish Remover Pads
£2.03 for 20 pads available at eleganttouch.com
Not bad, not my fave method of nail varnish removal so I’m on the fence about this one. Hands down THE best removal method for ‘on the go’ is the Bourjois magic nail thingy ma-jiggy. Don’t get me wrong- it works fine, but it leaves your hands mega slimy and would need a good wash afterwards. On the plus side it contains vitamin E which should counteract the dryness induced by the acetone. J

Connock London Fragrance 
Single sample included, more details at https://www.connocklondon.co.uk
Who? Never heard of Connock fragrances- sample I got smells of granny. Bit peeved that other subscribers to the box have featured a B. complete long lasting nail polish, but the box is kindly sent to me for review so no complaints here. Although… if I was a paying subscriber and did my homework, read blog posts and saw that others got a full size nail polish it would grate on me. Agree? Too harsh?




Vichy Idealia Life Serum (3 samples in box)
£29.50 for 30mls available at boots.com
Now Vichy is a brand I like. I struggle to test serums to the max as I would ideally like to use them of an evening and unfortunately I have to use my acne treatment at night. It does feel good though! The look of it reminds me of MACs strobe liquid- it has the same pearlescent appeal which will give your skin an extra little something instantaneously. Does it make you appear younger, healthier and more rested like it claims? Not convinced, but I think it would take more than 3 little samples to prove the long term benefits.

Emite Make Up Micronized Eye Shadow- Nect
£16.80 for 1.48g available at emitemakeup.com
Hadn’t heard of Emite before this Glossy- so I took to Google to have a peruse. The brand looks very interesting- I wouldn’t say that this sample eye shadow shows off the brand to its full effect- the Swedish company contains some divine looking products made by artists for artists. The colour I received Nect will be perfect for highlighting which I do daily. Winner. 

What do you think of this months Glossy? Super pumped for some of their new bits coming in 2014. Check out twitter trend #glossyboxdinner and check out the latest goss from Bloggers like @Really Ree J

Nano Technology!

Hair care just got scientific!!! 

Let me introduce you to my new hair care regime :) I love my long, brunette locks- but the truth is sometimes it can look dry and a tad unruly. My prayers were answered when this landed on my door step. The Nanokeratin System* is amaze balls. It smoothes, without straightening ( I actually enjoy my little kinky waves) and manages to give my hair incredible shine without weighing it down. 

It gently cleanses my hair, without stripping it of its natural gloss and I think this has a lot to do with the omitting of SLS (sodium laurel sulphate- most common foaming agent in all cosmetics). I'm not gonna lie, its hard to feel well and truly squeaky clean when the foaming action is non existent, but it really does work. I think we all need learn that stripped faces, bodies and hair does not mean healthy.

Queue the pictures :)
REvive, REhydrate and REvitalise

Add goo (aka hair mask) to hair ends, leave for up to 20 in a wrapped towel and rinse. 
Ingredients- Castor oil, Keramimic, (pure Keratin), Crosilk liquid, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) flower extract

Ingredients- Melitane, Biotin Plus, Keramimic (pure Keratin), Crosild liquid, Hydrolyzed silk, Hydrolyzed collagen, Hydrolyzed elastin, Shea butter cetyl ester, Glycinn soja (soybean) protein,Chamomilla Recutitata (matricaria) flower extract

This hair care range has a HUGE industry following- hair care heroes like Daniel Calvin, Rush salons and Paul Edmonds all rave about the stuff and if that doesn't convince you to try it, I don't know what will. 

To find out where to purchase your NanoKeratin system and for even more info, head on over to www.nanokeratinsystem.com or check out there Facebook http://www.facebook.com/NanokeratinUK

Does your hair system have Nano technology? No, didn't think so.

Happy Birthday GlossyBox!!!

'Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to ya, Happy Birthday to yaaaaaaa'


Little Miss GlossyBox turned into a right stroppy toddler on May 10th... NOT! I honestly want to wish all of the Glossy Girls a very happy second birthday, thank you so much for supporting me as a blogger for the past two years- the arrivals of your beautifully colored boxes* over the past year has been a joy to unwrap!

Birthdays also equal presents, so lets get into the good stuff. 

Happy Birthday Glossies!

L-R La Roche- Posay Anthelios XL 50+ Dry Touch Gel- Cream, Stone Beauty Body Lotion, Headline Colors Poolside Party Nail Varnish, BM Beauty Prime & Create mixing medium and Jelly POng POng Fairy Lashes Mascara)

Great wand close up!

Right up my street- can't wait to test this in the Portugal heat in June!

Top of the Box LA ROCHE- POSAY 50+ Anthelios XL 50+ Dry Touch Gel- Cream.

I have to admit that I am not the best sun protection wearer. I do understand that sun beds and repeated burning of your skin is sinful, but and its a big BUT- everyone is so SUN SCARED at the moment, that people are becoming seriously Vitamin D deficient. 

So much so, that I take Vitamin D3 daily and have the odd sun bed in the winter months. More and more of us are now working indoors- sometimes with no windows (ME!) and only getting some rays on our annual weekly holiday abroad (ALSO ME!). I totes agree that sun damage is not hot, but I do encourage people to be sun safe. Catch some rays, stay hydrated, don't burn and enjoy it!!!

That being said- I have particularly sensitive 'face skin' (good use of the english language liz!) at the mo due to being infested with chicken pox, so I do wanna enter the sun carefully for my first rays of 2013 when I hit the beautiful Portugese Algarve in June. What I am trying to say is, I may give this a good road test :)

Do you wear sunscreen daily? Is your Birthday coming up? What was your Top of the Box this month? Let me know in the comments below. 

Don't forget to follow the Glossies on all of their social media sites are these are running a particularly high amount of comps at the moment to celebrate their birthday! Glossy tweets, facebook, instagram and pinterest.

Outfit of the Day!

Mother/ Daughter Brunch with CHICKEN POX!

My lovely mummy (for the purpose of this post, she shall be known as her twitter/ IG avatar- GracieFish) decided to treat me to brunch on this beautifully sunny may- day weekend. 

GracieFish has lovingly used her Outsider Tart cookbook for some time and wanted to visit their eatery to taste to goodness direct from the source. So I drove to Chiswick as early as appropriate on a Sunday morning on the proviso of a delightful carb rich 'american stye' feast once we arrived. 

Although the company was lovely- the food and ambience, not so much. We weren't greeted, just left to seat ourselves and when I asked about an order amendment, I was told that 'they would have to get back to me'. Alas, nobody did. The brunch menu was on the small side and was missing some offerings that TBH I would've preferred when I read up about the Outsider Tart online.

Onto the positives- coffee was good- ish (The Fisher Fam are SERIOUS about coffee), if you like eggs runny then they were up there with the wettest and they did not skimp on butter for me bland scone!!!

In all seriousness it was nice to be treated by my mummy, she knows how to cheer me when I am poorly.


ONTO the OOTD- having a slight clothing crisis ATM. I really want to update my spring/ summer work wardrobe!

I'm not talking a designer spree- all I want is a couple new Primarni (AKA Primark) staples, maybe a flutter in Zara or Topshop tall??? BUT alas I cannot- Wedding is looming and all £££ goes to that. #pants

Outfit Details-
Jack Wills cream lace tank (old)
Topshop Tall bleached denim shirt (old)
Topshop Khaki jersey maxi skirt (last summer '12)
Topshop nude ballet pumps (old)
Zara yellow popper cardigan (last summer '12)

Makeup-
Collection 2000 concealer under eyes (2)
Gosh eyebrow pen (wheat) THEY LOOK TERRIBLE< APOLOGIES!!!
MAC Cosmetics eye liner (teddy)
Clarins instant light lip perfector (nude)

Hope you enjoyed my virus infected OOTD!!!

Lots of Love, 

Liz. xxx
