The Bucket List of mine - 2015

Source: Google 

As soon as I turned 25 I felt as if time started kicking me in the butt reminding me that there is still so much to do and see!

I think being 5 years away from hitting 30 I am now starting to look at life in a different light aka life crisis is hitting me hard some might think. But no, it doesn't affect my life in a negative way, in fact it causes quite the opposite affect. I read a quote somewhere: I am 25, I know how, I know what I want and  I am not afraid. All in all it's kind of how I feel at the moment. So here I am sitting all caught up in my thoughts and suddenly a light bulb appears on top of my head.

Basically, I decided to do my bucket list in a more fun and creative way. Let me explain... instead of writing up a list of things that I want do in my very secret notebook, I am going to do complete opposite and share it with everyone :)
I hope I will start crossing things off my list in the year of 2015 and take you, yes you along with me on my journey. There is only one rule; As soon as I can tick a thing off my list, I have to write a blog post about it. Quite simple, huh?

I hope you enjoy it and if you like the idea than join in the fun and tag me/comment under this post letting me know!!!

Let's crack on with my list and here is what I hope I can somehow cross off in  2015:

1. To visit a new place.
2. To laugh till I cry.
4. To feel the peace and world within.
5. To be carefree.
6. To laugh things off that are not important.
7. To give without expectation
8. To surprise a loved one like never before.
9. To experience a different way of living

I have no idea whether I will be able to cross all of it off but one thing I know for sure is that I will not push myself into anything. the point of this is to happen as it comes along.

A post will soon be uploaded as I can now say that one thing is now off my list :) Guess what it is?

Quater of a century I lived!

I am a bit late on this I must admit. My birthday was in fact back in October but I only just got a chance to sit down and write about it. Better late than never, hey?
It was a very chilled out and relaxed birthday for me as I didn't feel very well:( Booo!
I wish I could have celebrated it with all my family and friends as turning 25 was quite a special day for me but unfortunately they are all too far away from me ( 3 hours plane journey that is haha!). But there was a lot of skype and telephone calls and that made it feel like we were together again. Technology is something that I will always be grateful for and living in the century that we are in!

 I had my closest people next to me who surprised me and spoiled me all day long, what more could a girl want? :)

Yeah I suppose you didn't believe me when I said that it was very chilled out evening. Oh yes it was let me reassure you:)! I wore my cozy robe and cozy pink socks = happy Jane.

I hope you're having a nice weekend and I'll write to you very soon :)

November Favourites.

November is over people!!!
Christmas and New Year's Eve is upon us and I cannot contain my excitement for this year's festive season. However this post is not about that, it's about my favourite products that I used throughout the month of November :)

So, let's crack on:

 
Clinique as a brand was and still is one of my favourite. It works well on my skin, both in skin care routine and make up. Shame I can't always afford it but this time my skin needed a little 'pick me up' and I decided to give this one a try. I use it after I took all of my make up off. I then take Clinique's anti-blemish solution tonic and put some of it on a cotton pad and oh my goodness, it does feel straight away that it's working! My spots and blemishes started to disappear after about 2 weeks of using this product every day- once a day. I also noticed that my skin is not as oily as it usually is and I do think that this product has helped me to make it happen.

I wrote a post about #ZoellaBeauty  here not so long ago and let me tell you all lovely bunch of people that I loved this product so much that I am including it in my favourites post:) 

It doesn't take long for it to absorb into your skin and it feels silky smooth after I applied it. Basically, this is my favourite one out of the whole range.

Earlier this month I decided to take advantage for Soap and Glory 3 for 2 in my local Boots. Eeek! I am always very excited when offers like these are taking place. I never tried a fragrance mist from Soap and Glory but I am very glad to tell you that I am not disappointed! The smell is something I never smelled before! It stays on for a long time, which is very important for me and the smell is kind of sweet and fresh at the same time. My apologies as I am not very good at describing scents.
Basically, go into your local drug store and give it a little sniff:)

Last but not least is this foot lotion that I got as part of a set which came in with cozy pink socks. I posted a picture on instagram wearing them so go ahead and check it out:) It's @Jane_Aliesina.
As weather got colder I found that my body lotion just didn't do it for my feet, so I decided to give this one a try and I really like the way it moisturise my feet and leaves them looking healthy.

That is about it :)

If you want, you can comment down below letting me know if you tried any of those products above or let me know what products you've been loving this month?

Happy Sunday!

What happened?!

Source: Google

Over the last few days I was quite surprised to find out that a few of my favourite British Youtubers/ Bloggers/Vloggers are going through a stage of receiving constant hating comments that is addressed directly at them and may I just add are quite personal. The question I have is how the heck did that happen?? I remember the days when this wasn't an issue but I suppose the bigger you get, the more people start having the need to share their negative opinions with everyone but most of the time they are just not necessary. Don't get me wrong, I obviously understand we don't live in an ideal world where everything is either black or white and no matter how many times people spread the negativity across the social media, it will not change anything instead it will make matters worse! How hard is it to understand? Online world is just like the real world except you can hide your face, which ultimately is the reason why people can share their opinion and not feel embarrassed by it. 

Personally, I take part in social media such as twitter, youtube and bloglovin' every single day and if I don't like something/someone, I just don't watch/read it and just ignore it. Now.. there is of course a difference between constructive criticism and negative comments. I don't find it offensive if someone decides to tell me that I can do things better instead I quite enjoy it because that will make my blog better. What's wrong with that? Nothing. On the other hand, negativity is something I can't handle. What's the point? It will not make that person happy nor does it really make you happy instead it makes you even more miserable. The point is that if you hate someone then you always have an option of not watching that video and keep your day and that person's day happy.

 Two of my favourite youtuber's such as Zoella and Gabby aka Velvetgh0st, oh and of course PointlessBlog ( which makes it three of my favourite youtubers) have all came out about their feelings on their current situation where their subscribers gone all 'we all hate you'. I feel quite embarrassed even though I am not the one writing nasty comments. I suppose that just shows how narrow minded some people are and how far they can go, completely and utterly unnecessary. I do however feel that the topic of 'I hate you' can also be applied to the 'real world' because if there is someone you didn't particularly like or didn't get on very well with you wouldn't be friends with them would you? We are not meant to like every single person we meet and that's where our special friends are stepping in. We all ( I hope) have one, two or three or however many you have very special friends with whom you can share absolutely everything and feel your very best you can be around them.
All I am trying to say is let's stop this negativity spreading around and let's share some love and support :)

Happy Friday everyone and have a lovely weekend!
 Let's spread love not hate!

My silly thoughts out loud...

On a rainy Sunday morning I came across my old family photo album and I just couldn't resist to sit down and remember the good old times. Instantly I was greeted by my silly little smile that never seemed to disappear when I was younger. When growing up I remember I used to hear this a lot: 'Jane, you never stop smiling! You always happy!' they used to say.

I didn't understand it back then as I thought everyone should be as equally as happy and there was absolutely no other way around it. Unfortunately, that changed when adulthood decided to knock on my door and tell me that it was my turn to grow up. I suppose I just wasn't ready to accept certain things nor did I really want to. I know it will sound so silly but my heart was broken when I realised that Santa does not exist!*Shhhs* don't tell anyone! It's a secret:)* Haha! You probably laughing with amusement but I was one of those kids that used to believe in miracles and things that I am too embarrassed to talk about now:) Though, on a more serious note I think we should find and cherish a golden piece of our childhood inside our souls to remind ourselves how awesome it was or how far we've come as a person.

Let's be honest as kids we are a lot more open about our feelings and thoughts, we are quite playful and not scared to take risks but most importantly we almost never stop smiling and find the joy in little things in life. So be meaningful, be happy and smile at tiny things in your life:)

Hello Autumn 2014 :)

Leaves have turned all the colours of the rainbow here in London. As much as I love summers and long sunny days, it's quite nice to lighten up all the candles, snuggle up with a hot water bottle and watch some 'Friends' :) Although, it's getting darker, colder and rainier it makes me look forward to a lot of things such as Halloween, New Year's Eve and of course Christmas! Not going to lie and say that sometimes I feel like staying in, just like my guinea piggies:)

I wish you all a great and cosy autumn:)

#ZoellaBeauty

I am not going to lie and say that I was so freaking excited about this launch!!!

I suppose I want to start this post by introducing how my Zoella obsession has started.

I came across Zoella's video, which in fact was '50 facts about me' ( and yes I still remember it) last year and was absolutely stunned by her beauty, personality and ability to make you sit and watch all of her videos in one day. I learnt a lot from her videos and she is one hell of an inspiration to me in terms of fashion, hair and make-up looks.

I am so very much happy for her as she's done very well for herself! But most of all I feel she deserves it all. 

Here are a few things that I got from Zoella beauty a few days ago. I placed my order on www.feelunique.com website and could not wait until it got delivered!!!

If you've been following Zoella on YouTube and her blog, you can obviously tell that I didn't get every single item that she launched as I didn't want to damage my bank account too much considering that I've got enough candles and bubble bars from Lush:) 

£5.00

The name says it all my friends! This body lotion has quite a creamy consistency to it however you are not left sticky and it absorbs into your skin very quickly! Just what I need when I get ready for work in the mornings and don't have time to stand around and wait. I've never smelled anything like this before and it's quite hard to explain but it's very fresh and has a citrus smell to it. 

£5.00

You can use this one for both bath times and showers which I think is very convenient. The only downside that I found with this one is when I use it in the shower, I need quite a lot of it to make the consistency bubbly enough. Otherwise I still enjoy it very much as the smell is divine. 

£8.00

This cute little make-up bag was too cute not to buy however I needed a new one so it was perfect timing. It feels very good quality and it's perfect for travel. You can also use this bag as a pencil case. Again quite a convenient purchase. 

£8.00

Last but not least, I ordered this body mist in the most sweet and cute packaging ever, don't you think?! The fragrance is again quite fresh and I love putting it on in the mornings. However, I have to say that I have to re-apply it during the day as obviously it's a body mist and not a perfume but I do think Zoe should launch her own perfume line as I think it will smell amazing!!!

The whole range of Zoe Sugg's products are very cute and bright. As soon as I put out all the products in my room it instantly made it look 100 times prettier. 

I am very happy with my purchases and I hope Zoella will do more beauty launches in the future but for now I am looking forward to her book which comes out really soon :)

Let me know if you bought ZoellaBeauty products and what you thought of them :) 

Until next time, bye bye:)

Have a great and relaxing Sunday everyone!
