2015 Favourites, YouTube and New Years Ramble

Hello Everyone! 

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and got lots of lovely things and had lot's of family fun. As you are all aware I am posting this on New Years eve! This year has gone crazy fast and like a lot of others it's had its ups and downs for me and I have met some amazing people who I hope will remain in my life for a long time! As always it's been a very busy year for me however I think I have been a lot better with my posts- although maybe not... (Sorryyy). I promise I will keep this going long into 2016 as its something I really love and actually find quite therapeutic(?!)

As you may remember, at the beginning of this year I did a post containing some resolutions I made for the year which were in the form of inspirational quotes. I feel I have stuck to these quite well through out the year and I have changed positively as a person, I've definitely grown up a lot, got rid of some negative people and surrounded myself with those who make me truly happy and whom I can really be me around which is SO important! This year one quote in particular has stuck to me which is actually something my mum said to me and I feel this is so important to always have in mind as I know I am someone who naturally worries about what others think of me and the way I am judged as a character which is something I definitely want to get rid of this next year  . That very special quote is:

"Don't try so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out"

YouTube

You may or may not have read my last blog where I spoke about making YouTube videos. This is something I have always wanted to do however have always lacked enough confidence to do so. However recently my best friend explained her love for YouTube so we decided together to film our first video on my channel together. This isn't the best video ever and we are both very new to this so don't judge! haha. Instantly I loved the idea of the whole lights, camera, action kind of thing so yesterday we got together again and filmed two videos. The first video I have posted with this which is my 2015 beauty favourites, the second will be up either later tonight or tomorrow and that is the both of us doing 'the best friend tag'. I hope you watch and enjoy the video, I will definitely be filming more in the future while also continuing this blog so watch this space! ♥   

 

So there it is! I hope you all get everything you want and aspire in 2016 and thank you so much for another year of posts on Blogger! Whether you're out partying tonight or staying in with Family, have a great time and make good choices! Oh and.....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Lots of love,
Just Jade xo

Current Skin and Hair faves

Aloha!
Today I thought I'd share with you some of my most recent hair and body faves. I picked out these things for their own specific reasons, but they are all products which I use frequently if not everyday and remain a big part of my collection.

Nspa Mango fragrance body mist
Seventeen instant glow bronzing mousse
Dove summer glow moisturiser with gradual tan
So fabulous dry shampoo
Herbal essences Bee strong strengthening cream

Nspa Mango fragrance body mist- I have always been a big fan of Nspa products and I feel its essential to have some sort of body spray on you for everyday use as something a bit softer than perfume. Usually I always stick to Hollister sprays as I am a little bit fixed to them, however when out shopping I came across this little bottle of goodness and it smelt sooo good and at such a cheep price I couldn't resist picking it up. It's a lovely fruity, mango scent that's not too over powering which is great as it means I can wear it all day everyday and not feel swallowed in fumes. This has earned a permanent spot in my fragrance collection and I'll definitely be going back to pick up all the other scents.

Seventeen instant glow bronzing mousse- I'm not really a big self tan person, although I tan quite well in the summer I'm naturally fairly pale and I have always wanted to spend more time being tanned in the colder months. I'd been after a good, natural, easy, instant tanner for a while now and after looking up reviews online I decided to give this one a go. I was a bit hesitant at first but after my first use I was really happy with the way it turned out, It's a great colour which you can build up to make darker, its not streaky or blotchy, easy to apply and has a wonderful vanilla scent to it. It's great because although it's wash off, I have worn it to college before and it withheld without streaking even with me sweating and the colour doesn't come off onto sheets or clothes. Although I don't wear this every day, I wear it on all nights out and quite often on the weekends and I'd strongly recommend it especially to anyone new to instant tanning.

Dove summer glow moisturised with gradual tan- This was a recent buy as I knew a lot of people who were using this product or others like it. I'd heard that this type of gradual tanner can be really good for sensitive and dry skin so I was eager to get my hands on it. I'm so happy I decided to pick this up, as for something so cheep it's really won me over an proven a permanent place in my skin care collection. It looks and feels amazing on all skin types and from the first use I noticed a gorgeous summer glow pigment my skin. I apply this morning and night as it;s really hydrating and leaves the most amazing smell on your skin all day. I honestly adore this product and recommend it to anyone and everyone.

So fabulous dry shampoo- I'm a big user of dry shampoos as where I'm at dance college I'm constantly sweating all day and I find my hair gets greasy very easily but I don't like to wash it every day because of it's effect on your hair, so instead I'll just apply dry shampoo between washes to replenish my locks. I have been through various brands and types of dry shampoos, and I really love the 'so...' collection. This is probably my favourite one of them all as it really gets rid of the greasy look and feel in my hair and leaves it feeling refreshed and smelling amazing. It's nice and lightweight and doesn't leave your hair with white patches which is never a good look.

Herbal essences bee strong strengthening cream- I always have used various leave in conditioners to avoid split/dead ends and since I ombred my hair a year ago my ends really started to suffer. Since using this stuff everyday, my hair feels a lot more nourished and manageable and I couldn't imagine not using this. It really conditions my ends without leaving my hair feeling oily and heavy and not to mention the lovely honey and apricot scent making this my final must have for my collection.

I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know in the comments below any experiences you have with any of these products or any of your skin and hair essentials. Thanks for reading!
