HUSH BLUSH PIECE

Happy sunny monday,

I hope everyone had a fab weekend?

Isn't this weather fabulous but there is one small downside to it. It's pulling me away from putting together a few blog piece's I want to work on. Sure i was able to pull myself away for just a little bit to put together this hush blush piece for you. Lately I have been finding myself buying a couple of blush coloured clothing. I don't know maybe with the weather being so good this pastel colour really works for the sunny summer days. I found it really worked well with a white lace skirt or white jeans but it also works with denim.

Both my blush items came from +Primark. My blush dress I recently wore last saturday for my cousin Kara's communion. While I wore my cute blush vest top for an event. As you can see from my pictures the blush colour does look great with anything. If you're having trouble looking for some blush piece's here are a few picks:

Charli cross strap body con dress €24 +boohoo.com

Matilda blush chiffon frill trousers €28 +OfficialPLT

Blush leather wrap skirt €117 +Topshop

Tassle front heeled sandals €21 +Missguided

Plastic frame glasses €15.95 +ZaraFashion

Hope you enjoy the piece!

JUST A NORMAL GIRL WITH A SIDE OF SCOLIOSIS

Happy Monday,

'Don't judge me because I certainly don't judge you'

As I sit here on this fine monday morning I 've decided i need to share something with you on my blog. I'm taking this time to write this as it's a very personal piece for me to do. Since i was a baby I've had scoliosis. This might mean nothing to you but for me it's a major step I'm taking in talking to you about something like this. Some might say why bother? Firstly I'm 33 and guess what I'm tired of still seen the same thing I did when I was a kid. Secondly I'm stepping into a new phase of my life by having my blog and I don't want to be holding back on things. Question does anyone know what scoliosis is? Well here goes it's an abnormal curve of the spine and truthfully sometimes I wish I never had it but it's taking me a very long time to finally accept this as part of my life. Jesus even writing this I'm feeling a tad bit emotional. Do i need to tell people that I have scoliosis no because really i don't think they need to know but guess what maybe my 'appearance' might give it away.I want to have people around me that are supportive, positive and love me rightly for me. I'll be judged no matter what but i think at this stage in my life i shouldn't care to let it bother me but still it's hard.

Me and my sister

However I'm not going to lie I still have my days that are hard and my confidence is low but one thing I've stop shedding the tears and believe me there were many throughout the years.My mam and dad are always there with a very big hug when i need it.Now my days are spent trying to be happy why waste anymore time in getting upset about words coming from a size small of majority of people that don't know me from adams. Yes would i love another operation?Yes because i want to be seen to be perfect in this so called modern world we live in but then again what is perfect? I did have one operation done when I was a baby. Sure I wouldn't have known that until I was a little bit older when my mam was telling the many doctors at all my check ups. Yes even to this day i still go for my regular 6 monthly check up. Back then though I was told another operation was not necessary as the curve was described as not being that bad. Well ok I'll just carry on with my life then but no one warns you about hearing the cruel words and seeing the horrible gestures made by kids following me throughout my years. OK their just kids and so was I but seriously i didn't need to hear those harsh words because they hurt. My age now and growing up with that I seriously think people need to start teaching future generations that everyone is not the same. Low and behold there are different people out there that are not like youwisely think before you speak! As i said before I still find myself getting the odd eyeball been thrown my way and I still hear the odd sly comment but i wasn't brought up like that so i don't judge them but what gives them the right to judge me.

Doing the color dash with my sister and friends

I know who is there for me and have shown there support to me throughout the years. I'm so grateful for them and thank god everyday for their help because without them there I wouldn't know where I'd be. There has been days even years that personally haven't been good for me. I mean never judge because you just don't know what is going on behind closed doors. I'll carry on with my life now because really i'm just a normal girl that has something a little different about myself. It hasn't stopped my from putting my life on hold i go out with my friends, love listening to music, traveling and blogging that's why i felt i needed to share this with you. I can't hide the fact i have scoliosis because it's going to be apart of my blog too. Thank you for taking the time to read this piece.

MY REVIEW ON SURE MAXIMUM PROTECTION ANTI-PERSPIRANT CREAM DEODORANT

Hello Tuesday,

Hope everyone is enjoying the good weather?

Here's my review on the deodorant I just can't put down. It's better late than never ;)

Sure Maximum Protection Anti-Perspirant
Sensitive Dry
€7.79

We're always trying to find that one product that we find ourselves using time and time again. Personally since this has been around I haven't bought any other deodorant that can't match it. I even find that when it's on special offer I lose the run of myself with stocking up on it. As the piece below will tell you. Right i'll stop blabbing and tell you my secret deodorant I'm using these days and have done since it was first put on the shelves a couple of years back. Hello sure maximum protection anti-perspirant deodorant cream. It might be one of those best kept secret product to buy and try. One thing is I find myself always getting the sensitive dry deodorant cream which is the one available in the purple and white box.

As I said before when it's on special offer I go bananas to my delight in work last week I noticed it was on a special offer I really had to restrain myself from buying the whole shelf. Well why wouldn't you when it was on a special price of €3.89 from it's originally price of €7.79. I got the crazy eyes from a work colleague nearby as she wanted to know why I was nearly taking the whole shelf with me. I gave her my feedback on it an then she tells me she was just given more positive feedback from another colleague. By the end of the day most of the girls in work were getting their hands on a box of this stuff. It's great what a bit of positive feedback can do for a product.

As it says in the title it's a cream base deodorant. They say to use it after the shower but personally I use it everyday. I always roll it under my arms and to be honest just give it that extra few minutes to let it dry under there. I mean you don't want to be ruining the top by pulling it straight down over and smudging white cream deodorant all over it. I also found another reason as to why I keep buying this deodorant is I rarely find myself reapplying it to my underarms like most others. It never leaves my top with any underarm sweat marks,nice right! I feel fresh all day under my pits even after a hard days work. It's really easy to use as you twist it from the bottom. Here's the thing I find it doesn't last very long as a product maybe that's just me. I just think with the price of it shouldn't it be a tad bit cheaper. Another thing is it might not be to everyone cup of tea as this is my review and i'm just passing on my feelings about this product on to you. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Hope you enjoy the piece!

TREND TO WATCH OUT FOR RUFFLES

It's Monday,

Well the one day of sunshine was pretty while it lasted. Bring the good weather back quickly as we want to finally pull out the one trend for these sunny months ahead. From all at this year catwalks i noticed that this one piece of clothing was going to be the one to watch. What is it? Well say hello to ruffles! I don't know about you but isn't there just something right about ruffles for the summer months. Below are three looks on how to bring ruffles into your fashion wardrobe for this year.

How cute is this red pinstripe shirt teamed with this houndstooth print mini skirt. The outfit gives off a real sixties vibe with the block platform heels, box clutch and oversize earrings.

Why not find yourself a denim off the shoulder dress with a simple ruffle to it. I found this look really cool and the camel heels really bounce off the denim look very well.

Again why not find an off the shoulder vibrant colour ruffle top. Team it with your favourite pair of jeans, strappy sandals and sunglasses. Well there you go you have a very simple, sexy outfit to wear for running errands.

Hope you enjoy the piece!
