Currently Loving #10

 Wow, how are we in November this weekend?! Its crazy how fast this year is going, despite everything that has gone on. I haven't done a round up of my favourite products/lifestyle things in forever and I thought that today would be the perfect opportunity. Its a mix of beauty, nails and lifestyle things...                                          

                                            

The Lockdown Tag

When I first started blogging, TAG posts were my favourite to do. Its been so long since I've done one and when I saw Hannah from LuxuryBlush create her own lock-down tag, I just had to take part! Her blog is amazing and her instagram is beautiful - definitely check her out! There are 11 questions in total, and if you fancy doing it please do - its so much fun!      

Summer Work Makeup

I've gone from wearing a full face of makeup everyday to wearing it once in a while, my skin is loving it but my makeup filled heart is hating it. I have however, started to go into work a lot more now, to get things ready for September and to look after key worker children...its been the perfect excuse to put some on and have a play. This is a post all about my 'summer work makeup', its medium coverage, lightweight and completely sweat proof! 

5 Work Life Balance Tips

Since starting my full time teaching job last September, it has become really important to maintain some sort of 'work, life balance'. Which means having days where I just switch off, evenings where I do nothing and days where I don't stress about the little things. With teaching, there is a tendancy of doing more work than you need to, and trying to stay ahead of them game - when truthfully, that just can't happen. I pushed myself a lot in the first half term and it was draning, both physically and mentally. Its a job that I enjoy, I shouldn't be hating the work life. These are some of the things I've learnt to do along the way; to help with having a life and working at the same time.

Everyday Work Makeup

During the week, I typically apply my makeup at about 6.30 and then don't remove until about 7pm. Just a little over 12 hours, and over time I have found hardcore products that stay put on my face and keep me looking flawless. There are a few things that get swapped out for other products from time to time but for the most of it, this is my staple go to look. I have oily skin, so my main goal is to have a matte face that doesn't shine throughout the day. 

Styling Knitwear for Work

The weather has definitely taken a turn for the worse this week and for me, it has meant having a good look at my wardrobe. I love wearing pretty things to work, but want to stay warm at the same time. After a lot of trialling, I seem to have found the perfect pieces to take me through this season. They can all be styled in a different way each time to switch things up and I get excited every time I wear them!
