We all know how difficult and stressful our lives can get and we are always looking for new ways to relax and just take a moment to think about ourselves and what is going on. So today lovelies, I have put together a little list of 10 different ways you can minimize your stress levels so you can start a healthier, happier lifestyle. 

I myself, have been super stressed lately and it has gotten so bad that it's even messing with my body and my cycle and i thought to myself screw this, is anything worth getting this worked up over? And the answer to that question was in fact, no. So I have recently been giving myself some tlc and just focusing on making my life that little bit easier, and this is how I done it and how you can do it too. 

1) THINK ABOUT WHY YOU'RE FEELING THIS WAY AND CREATE A SOLUTION. 
Too much work to do and such little time to do it? People in your life that want to get you down? Exams, Assignments? STOP! Give yourself a five minute breather and think to yourself, it might be this way now but it won't be this way forever. If you can optimize your time to fit your lifestyle and plan everything you need to do and how much time you have to do it, then you will instantly feel a weight lifted off your shoulder. Get yourself a planner, or even an appointment book and slot everything you have to do into it. Time management skills are everything.

2) BLOCK OUT THE NEGATIVITY AND THE SOURCE.If there are people in your life that just want to see you down in the dumps and feeling like crap, they do not deserve to be in your life, regardless of who they are. The cleaner the air is around you, the cleaner you will feel. So put them to the side and don't think about them, try to find a way to minimize contact and just focus on yourself. The more energy you have for yourself, the less you will feel the need to have energy from other people around you.

3) TAKE A BATH.
This is my personal favorite, and we all get it. So honey, run yourself a nice hot bath, grab the book you've been wanting to read, listen to your favorite podcast, or even just listen to some music that you like. Light a scented candle, turn off the lights and simply just breathe, let yourself go. I can promise you'll feel a lot more relived when you get out than you did getting in.

4) PAMPER YOURSELF,
Get your self a face mask, or some new nail polish or even some new hair masks and just indulge in your own beauty, you are your best self so embrace it. We might not feel beautiful some times, but we are and some times the only way to believe it is to tell yourself. 

5) SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOU HAPPY.
If you have friends that you haven't seen in a while who really bring out the best in you, go see them or invite them over for a coffee and a chat, or even a glass of wine and a girls night in watching the notebook and doing each others hair. Do what makes you happy and surrounding yourself with people who have a positive energy will rub off on you and lift your mood completely. 

6) SPEAK TO SOMEONE ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL. 
Talk to someone, you never know maybe their going through the same thing as you and could offer you some advice on how to make the situation better, or even if you're a diary writer, write about it. Just to get that weight lifted off your chest. Find your personal therapy and what works best for you.

7) GO FOR A NAP.
Take an hour to just unwind and have a little sleep, Studies show that 20 minutes of sleep in the afternoon provides more rest than 20 minutes more sleep in the morning (though the last two hours of morning sleep have special benefits of their own). The more rested you feel, the better you feel. 

8) DISCONNECT FROM YOUR PHONE FOR A WHILE.
Disconnecting yourself from your phone can actually really help you, i know it sound torturous as we are all so adapt to having our mobiles accessible to us whenever we need them but if you feel like the phone is the main cause of your stress, switch it off and do something else to keep your mind occupied.

9) LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THINGS.
This might not be as obvious as some of the others, but developing an attitude of gratitude (I sound like a preacher with that rhyme!) is a way of thinking positive, eliminating negative thinking from your life, and thereby reducing stress. Learn to be grateful for what you have, for the people in your life, and see it as a gift. With this sort of outlook on life, stress will go down and happiness will go up. That’s a winning formula.

10) GO OUTSIDE
Go out and spend time with nature at every possible opportunity; whether for a holiday or simply on a lunch-break at work. See nature for what it really is by experiencing the beauty that resides within every flower, insect, and shrub. Moreover, take time to breathe in the peaceful harmony that thrives in every corner of your environment. Do you see the ease at which nature moves and flows? Now become a part of what you see and allow all your stresses to simply wash away.


I really hope these tips and tricks help you to embrace yourself and help you to reduce any unnecessary stress or worries you may have.

Hello Ladies, we can finally say hello to warmer weather and green grass. How exciting is that?
But unfortunately with the warmer weather it means us girls have to take extra care of our skin to ensure we look our best, all the time.
                                                             ________________

Whenever we reach this time of the year, it’s always crucial to go through everything in your stash and revamp it accordingly, and that includes your beauty pouches. It’s high time you threw out those empty perfume bottles and restock your pretty cases with all things new along with your trusted favourites. The golden rule when it comes to packing your essentials is to keep it simple.

1) Vaseline Lip Therapy: 
This lip balm is an absolute god send, I use this collection religiously as you can never have lips that are too soft or hydrated, and as the days gets hotter you have to remember your lips and skin will get drier so it's best to keep one of these little bad boys in your bag or pocket at all times.


2) Bellamianta Gradual Moisturizer: 
As you probably all know I live for Bellamianta, and living in Ireland we don't see the sun very often so Bella gives me that golden glow that I have been longing for, all while hydrating my skin at the same time. This product gives me such a natural, lasting glow and makes me feel as soft as silk & that my lovelies is why this product comes with me everywhere I go. 



3) Cocovit Coconut Oil: 
Coconut oil is amazing, for everything. The thing i love about it is that it is so diverse and can be used for so many different purposes. When i was bleaching my hair a lot (worst mistake of my life) my hair became damaged and dry, it also started to break like f**k (excuse my french) but seriously i was worse than any shedding animal. My mom then recommended that i start bathing my hair in coconut oil for 3-4 hours a day as it helped her revive her dead hair. I tried it, and fell in love. I still have a long way to go but my hair is starting to regain its moisture and strength back and i can tell you from this day forward i am never putting another drop of bleach on my head.
4) Daisy by Marc Jacobs:
I first received this perfume as a present from my mother one Christmas and it has been my go to perfume ever since, the packaging of the perfume is what caught my attention at first but then i had a smell and oh my god it was like i just sprayed a bit of heaven on to myself. It smells beautiful. It's not one of those scents that would knock you out if you stood too close, it;s just the right amount of sweet and the right amount of floral mixed together to create the masterpiece that is Daisy by Marc Jacobs.

5) Simple Skin Care:
Simple has always been my go to cleansing products, as i have dry skin its very important to use good, moisturizing creams on my skin and simple gives me just that, it's perfect for dry skin as it doesn't irritate me like most makeup cleansing  products would. I love their complete range of products but my favorite is definitely the eye make-up remover.

I really hope you's enjoyed this post just as much as i enjoyed writing it and if you have used any of these products then please feel free to tell me how your experience was in the comments, I would love to hear your feedback, 

Until next time,

Hello Ladies, The time has come where we can ditch our woolly jumpers and swap them for t-shirts and *gasp* even maybe a pair of shorts! If you're like me and want to look like you've just got back from a cruise around the Caribbean then i have the tan for you! 

I am a girl that absolutely loves tan, feeling frumpy and unattractive? put on some tan! Feel like your outfit could do with something more? Put on some tan!
So obviously me being me, when i see a tan on the market i just have to try it.

I came across Bellamianta when i was in college and i have been obsessed with it ever since. 



Packaging: 
The packaging of this product is so elegant looking and it reassures you that there might be hope for fake tan after all! Bellamianta is a luxury brand of tan and the packaging confirms that! 

Product: When you first open the bottle you'll be shocked to find that there is no fake tan smell, no biscuits (amazing, i know.) Instead of smelly a pantry you get the most exotic, fruity smell and it is so welcoming. 
The consistency of this tan is a watery liquid but once you use the air tight pump it transforms the liquid into a mousse *mind blown*
This tan is 
bursting with natural extracts that is the ultimate skin treatment for all skin types, especially dry skin in need of a bit of attention. 
Application: As recommended i exfoliate my body with their luxury exfoliating mitt the night prior to the application to insure the removal of any dead and unwanted skin on my body, this will help to achieve a smooth and natural looking glow.  The application of this product is flawless, like i said the pump transforms the liquid into mousse so there is less chance for spillage and for a clumsy girl like myself this makes so much of a difference! The products guide colour is a lovely natural brown which helps when applying my tan so that i don't miss any spots. Using gentle circular motions to rub in my tan with their luxury tanning mitt i find its best to apply my tan once and wait to see the colour and if i would still prefer for my tan to be darker then i would go in and apply a second time. 


Developing time: The developing time for this tan ranges between 2-4 hours but i personally like to leave mine on overnight to ensure i get the darkest results, when my tan is developed enough i then proceed to take a shower and wash off the colour guide, i don't use any body wash that contains oil i simply just wait for the water to run clear, the reason for this being that oils can sometimes strip tan which means it will leave a blotchy and uneven look and i really don't want that. 


Overall thoughts: I simply love this tan, I love the colour, I love the durability, I love the smell. I just love this tan and i highly recommend it, it's not very often that i find a tan that suits my skin so well but i am truly obsessed with Bellamianta and i have a feeling whoever tries it will feel the same way.
Until next time,
Rhiannon, x

Hello my lovelies,
I am back with another one of our weekly posts, which i am hoping will soon become one of two weekly posts but at this moment in time i am trying to juggle work, life and my blog in and a for a girl who works 12 hour shifts I will need to schedule that little bit harder.

Tonight is honestly one of those nights where sleep just escapes me, but what better way to spend that time than writing and planning blog posts! I'm really excited to share this one with you as Edvinas & I have had a rather exciting few weeks!

We finally moved into our own house! This has been something we have wanted to do since we got together but its been tough finding work for both of us and earning enough to afford renting a house and everything that comes with it. The house is beautiful, obviously with an old house you have your list of repairs that haunts you until you get them done but time is precious and we will soon be living in our own little palace fit for a king and queen! I am currently lying on the sofa writing this and i have never felt so comfortable.
Both Eddie and I have never lived on our own before and i'm extremely happy that i'm the person that he gets to do it with, I know some people won't understand the excitement of moving house but for me and Eddie, this is a pretty big deal!

This house is the start of our future together and i can truly say i'm blessed to have such an amazing man to share these moments with.
I first seen this house online and i was immediately drawn to it and wanted to see it better as its close to work so its ideal for me as i don't drive and its not that far of a walk into town to get my weekly groceries so to me it seemed perfect. Of course the house needs work but it only makes me more anxious as i want to make my home the comfy, dreamy space i have always imagined.
Mommy, my step father and daddy came up to see me and Edvinas on Sunday to see the house and give it an extremely needed clean (it was rather disgusting) and she also decided to bring me up so many amazing house warming gifts such as the kitchen essentials and so many other decorative items, it still needs to be painted and decorated but it really has come a long way from having no furniture and barely any character to it.

I'm not going to show you's the house as of yet because i think that itself deserves a blog post of its own, and i will also be doing more home decor hauls over the next few coming weeks! I am literally buzzing for what is to come and i can't wait to share the end result with you guys!
Until next time,
Rhiannon x

It is finally happening!
I have finally dove into the the deep sea of blogging, which is definitely something i have wanted to do for so long but just never really knew where to begin. This blog is going to be a place where everyone can come to unwind, relax and just explore different products, places, outfits and more.

Excited is definitely an understatement. I am absolutely buzzing to share my new found loves with you on here and i really hope you lovelies are as excited as i am.
There will be a new post every week, maybe even twice a week so i definitely recommend you keep an eye out, it'll be worth it.


Until then darlings, 
Rhiannon
