A little update♥

Hello everyone♥,

I know I haven't been blogging that much lately, In fact I haven't blogged at all oops..
But i'm back and I thought i'd take the time to write this post as it's a bit different to all my other blogs so here goes.

****DISCLAIMER****

Some of the stuff your about to read may be the cringiest stuff you have EVER read but oh well.

Okay so before I started blogging I was a completely different person, 

( I did tell you this was going to be cringey...)

I wasn't the most confident person, I would always care what people think and worry about my appearance and what other people think of me, but now I've come to realise that it doesn't bother me now about what people think in the end if you don't like what I do or who I am that's your opinion, and it doesn't bother me because I'm my own person and everyone is different and special in their own way.

So now that's that bit over this is probably going to be the cringiest bit but I would really like to take the time to thank you all so much, this may only be a small blog that very few people read but, it just makes me so happy to think that people take time out of their day to read stuff that I write well type really..

Thank you if you are one of those few people who do read my stuff your support really does mean a lot, and i'm so grateful to all of you.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Yours Kindly 

Hope x

My Pamper Evening Routine♥

Okay so as it starts to get to the colder months and starts to get a lot colder outside I usually have Pamper Evenings which is when I just relax and have a bit of me time.
So today i'm going to be sharing with you what I would do on a Pamper Evening♥


Okay so first I would wipe of any makeup that I had on that day as it makes me feel more relaxed and fresher.

I would then run myself a nice warm bath and most likely put a bath bomb or some bath product in, so today I used my new Christmassy bath bomb which I got yesterday it's so cute! I much prefer baths in the winter as I said it gets much colder and sometimes it's just nice to relax but in the summer it's more like kind of wash and go.

I will also use Lush's Snow Fairy shower gel just to add some extra bubbles and make it even more Christmassy.

After I come out the bath I will then use my 'Hands that do wishes' Dry hands lotion, this is my personal favourite hand lotion as it's so creamy and it smells lovely, as the weather is getting quite cold it made my hands dry, but since I started using this it has softened my hands.

After I've moisturised my hands which is obviously one of the most important things you could moisturise as is your lips which most people forget to do, If you have very dry lips and they are a bit chapped I would definitely recommend using Eos it's one of my favourite lip balms to use and I love it so much!

I hate to admit but I bite/break my nails, I don't even realise I'm doing it but lately I've started to use the 'Sally Hansen Natural Nail Growth Revitalizer' I'm really determined to grow them so I can actually use the 20 odd nail polishes I own haha, wish me luck!

Once I've done all my beauty/pampering stuff I will then read for about 15-25 minutes and my favourite book at the moment is Zoe's new book 'Girl Online' I'm on chapter 9 and so far it's amazing!

Once I've read some of my book I will go onto Netflix and watch a movie, my favourite movies are Mean girls and LOL and types of movies like that but currently I've been watching 'Wild Child' it's so good.

I will probably be extremely tired after that so I will end up falling asleep as I'm such a party pooper haha.

Anyway that's what I would do on a pamper evening I hope you enjoyed reading!
