My heart is full of ......


In March my life was turned upside down and my heart broken by someone I had given 8 years of my life to. I can honestly say it was a seriously dark time for me and for many weeks after I tried my hardest to get my life back to how it was but the fight was not worth it and in the end I decided I didn't need to try and stay in an unhappy relationship to be happy and in May I finally gave up and let go.

Currently me and the kids still share a house with my ex but next week I have a big meeting to attend and my heart is full of hope that we can get our fresh start. I have so many plans for our future and I can honestly say I am happier now than I have been for a long long time.

Once the kids and I have our new place I truly believe that me and my little family will be happy and will thrive together and will be so close and happy. My children are my all and I will work hard to provide them the best that I can give.

So just remember, if life seems tough and seems to throw rubbish your way. Always keep hope in your heart and please, do not blame me if you barf on your keyboard right now. I am enjoying my 'strong woman' soppy moment ha!

Night out eyes

I was meant to go out on Saturday night drinking and dancing, but two of my friends were unwell so it was called off, I know, sad face right? :(
But the night before I knew this, I was bored and alone so I decided to try out a couple of eye looks for the next evening, one of which I spotted on a fab make-up website
This fab bright, spring night out eye! 

For this eye I used MUA Pearl shadow shade 6 over the lid and used a damp brush in Shade 9 as a liner, I used a silver Light Show liner by Bare Minerals on the inner corner of my eye and Bare Minerals Curl and Lengthen mascara to finish off


This was my other option, a smoky eye using a beautiful blue palette. For this look I used all 4 colours from the Blue/Grey Shimmer Cubes from the Body Shop, the second lightest shade was used all over the lid up to just under the brow, then the lightest blue all over the lid and into the crease, the darkest blue dampened with my trusty brush and used to line top and bottom and the lightest shade was used to highlight under my brow and the inner corner of my eye. 

Finished off with a line of blackest eyeliner and smudged with the sponge end and all topped off with a big and volumising mascara which is not as good as my trusty Bare Minerals!


What is your go to night out make-up look?
