Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doi Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doing ok?
I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to do over this time period and how to get the most out of it.
Being the final 6 months of my PhD, I will have to start writing my thesis now instead of later but to break that time up with more fun things (not that science isn’t fun 🙄). I’m thinking baking, play the piano and experimenting with makeup! It doesn’t matter that no one is going to see my makeup or hear me play, I’m doing it for me but at the same time I’m not going to force myself to do to anything I don’t feel like or feel pressured to learn something new or start something big just because we have this time. 
I think it’s important to take a break and reset without anything or anyone sucking your energy. Only do things that you really want to and help you feel better now and for the future when this is over.
What are your plans for lockdown?
For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and the fact you can take any colour/finish/texture and create something that completely reflects your personality and mood is amazing and yes maybe it also fuels my need to have so many pretty palettes!! The @jackieaina @anastasiabeverlyhills eyeshadow palette is incredible! The colours are soooooo pigmented but still really wearable. It’s like a work of art itself.
What’s your favourite ABH palette?

There’s enough to do in the mornings before work without having to spend half an hour doing up your face. However, when I do wear makeup, even just a little, I feel more confident, put together and ready to tackle the day. 
That’s why I’m loving @Primark.Beauty to create a super quick, everyday look to help me look glowing and more importantly, at really affordable prices.

Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear th Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear them more often because 1. Jabbing them through the piercing that has been empty for months is no fun and games 😂 and 2. They just elevate your look to the next level!! Seriously, whether they’re long, studs, gold, sparkly, colourful, patterned, they make me feel so put together. 2020 is my year for accessorising!
Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for it! What I am here for is these natural Wispies eyelashes from @ardellbeauty. I do love false lashes but because I don’t have a lot of lid space, I find they always look heavy and unnatural on me so I give up and they get shoved in a drawer. That’s why I was dubious at first with these but the second I put them on, I fell in love. The natural style adds volume to my lashes without looking heavy and really do pass as being my own, even in person!! They’re easy to put on as the band is nice and flexible and stay put throughout the day. These are my lashes for sure! Have you tried Ardell lashes before?

Adexe London Watches - Freerunner Petite Berries

Making Memories with Adexe London

Christmas is such a magical time of year, the festivities, the fun, the food! Sitting all cosy on the sofa with a glass of mulled wine after you’ve thoroughly filled both your normal stomach and dessert stomach, next to the twinkling lights of the tree with all the presents underneath.

Ah presents, possibly the one stressful part of the festive season. Making sure you get just the right gifts for family and friends can be an absolute nightmare. Nobody wants to have to wait with baited breath whilst wrapping paper is ripped open, the words “I’ve kept the receipt” on the tip of your tongue. It’s a fantastic feeling when you know you’ve got the right present and I know just the thing. Seriously, no matter the person, no matter how fussy, an Adexe London watch is the perfect accessory and so much more.

Wearing an Adexe London watch is not just about the passage of time. We all lead busy lives and the constant reminder to make the most of it, is not only daunting but stressful as well. Yes we shouldn’t just let time pass us by, however life’s responsibilities often take priority, leaving few precious moments to make memories.

By gifting an Adexe London Watch, you’re not only showing how much you care but giving something that can mean so much more. You’re gifting a memento of Christmas day, a keepsake to attach future cherished times to and ultimately a reminder of your relationship. Those special moments, no matter how fleeting, are memories that will be remembered every time they look at their wrist.
