Why WEIGHT When now is the right time? Today could just pass you by Why wait?

Everyday this week do you now what I have eaten for lunch? 

Chicken Salad.....leaves, protein, healthy, yummyness!

And also what is shocking is that it filled me up...I think of salad as being boring, not filling, not food!

I just wasn't doing it right!

I am lucky as I work in an organic food shop that sells sandwiches, salads etc all with the calories written over everything I can not guess...oh that cheese and bacon sandwich must contain about 3 calories no it has 480 WOW no thanks!

Job done!

So I have been having a flavoured water and salad and taking some nuts home as a snack before tea. 

Fabulous!

Now to tackle portion size at home, making those tasty things my boyfriend loves healthy...perhaps an impossible task?

We shall see....

Slap, bang you gotta fake tan bitch you look like the tango man bogebogebo do the tango bogebogebo do the tango

fake tan....

I can not get it right! I am the colour of...pale strawberry milk, I long for bronzed goddess skin.

aka Eva mendes.

Isn't that skin beautiful. Now I know I will never look like that, but a hint of bronze would be great. I said bronze, not orange right?

I feel like whenever I fake tan people can tell, my boyfriend hates fake tan and points out I look stupid, I want a fake tan that is subtle.

  golden. luxurious. healthy.

My mission to find THE fake tan that will achieve this as easily as possible! 

St Moriz does a great job but I defiantly need to practice my technique, when to ex-foliate, when to moisturise etc!!

So perhaps in 10 years I will look golden tanned....only time will tell until then i'll be the one on the corner who's been tangoed.

What are your summer besties? :)

Look of the day...

So today I am feeling a bit crap, my skin has broken out in several places, I have a cold-sore and my boyfriend is away so I don't even have someone to take it out on (joking of course...). 

So I thought what better way to bring out my internal sunshine out from hiding than a make-up look.

I have also changed my hair colour from bright red to blonde! I know I look better with darker hair but I get bored and need to change it so I'm aiming for a cool white blonde look eventually, obviously do not want to completely destroy my hair so it will be done gradually. I am also going to put a layer of purple and a layer of pink in it...i digress...So as I haven't really done my make-up properly with this blonde hair I can see what suits my new do.

FACE

2 layers of mac face and body foundation in C1. (I will be reviewing this foundation soon!)

As you can see it looks very wet, but when it is dry it doesn't look greasy!

Under my eyes and around my nose Ta ta for now concealer in light by Primark

Lemon aid by benefit on my lids.

I then applied Mac springsheen sheer tone blush over my cheeks onto my forehead (not all the what round just a tad above my eyebrows)

I used Maybelline dream matte powder to set the foundation. 

EYES

I applied Hustle by urban decay along my crease and Virgin up to my brow bone and under my brow.

To fill in my brows i used the liner shade from primpcess by benefit. 

Over my lids in Illamasque pure pigment in conquer (in last months glossy box!!)

I tight-lined and lined my water line with maybelline gel liner. 

I curled my lashes using Shu uemura eye lash curlers and a coat of N.Y.C maximum boost volumizing mascara. 

LIPS

I smudgily applied maybeline color sensation in pink fizz just for a 'yourlips but better' look.

And that is the finished look, a dusky pink lip with sparkly deep green eyes. The green against the blue of my eyes really makes the colour pop. This is a great look for a lunch date or a casual night out. and really fast and easy to do!!

If we took a holiday Took some time to celebrate Just one day out of life It would be, it would be so nice

So I have just returned from the beautiful Algarve. It was HOT HOT HOT! meaning big, baggy long sleeved clothes were out...

My worst nightmare!!

In England I would never dream of wearing a short sleeved top even in summer (England does not have a real summer!) I feel so uncomfortable I would rather sweat away in a jumper that covers my flab than dare to bare flesh!

Well I walked around a water park in a swimming costume...felt uncomfortable at first but there were loads of bigger women there wearing bikinis so I thought I am never going to see these people again, apart from my friends, what the hell! Achievement! I would much rather have been the girl walking around confidently in a barely there bikini though. 

The food was amazing, fresh fish, veggies, salads! I didn't eat meat or chips the whole time I was away. It felt so good to eat an amazing meal and not feel bloated and guilty the moment the last mouthful has gone. 

The photos from the holiday make me feel sick. I look gigantic next to all my skinny friends. not one of them has an ounze of fat on them. So I decided this would be the last time I feel like the fat girl with my beautiful friends, I would make it my mission to slim down in time for my next holiday. Perhaps I wont quite be wearing a string bikini but I will definitely feel confident in whatever I will be wearing.

So here it goes day one of my slim down, wish me luck...
