November Faves

Sleek makeUP original i-divine palette

I am in love with this palette at the moment, it seems to have all the colour I want for autumn and winter this year and I have been using this palette non stop for a few months now.

2true Eye Defining Twist & Line

No 7 Brown

I have had this in my make up bag since the beginning of the year, used it once and thought it wasn't good. When I saw it again I thought I should try and give it another go, and found out that it is actually rather good. Not the best eyeliner I have had. But for a very cheap eyeliner it is really good.

Volumax Mascara

Ultra Black #17

Cant think of much to say about this mascara other than it is super tough to remove when it comes to removing the make up. I don't know if anyone else has this with theirs, but for me it just stays on all the time. Which is one of the reasons why I enjoy it so much, I do feel it gives my lashes that extra length (but it maybe because I don't wear mascara that often), plus it doesn't feel that heavy on the eyes which is such a good thing.

"I love...coconut & cream lip balm"

And this is all I have been wearing on my lips all these few months. I cant get enough of this lip balm. It has a glossy finish to it when you apply it to your lips so it feels as though you are wearing lip gloss but you ain't. It just gives my lips that extra glow and moisture that it needs for these months.



I am taking no credit for these images as they were found on either google or on the companies website.

Weight loss progress

Its been a few weeks since I have spoken about my weight loss, or the lack of it to be honest.
Most of the 2 weeks I was staying at the same weight, which I guess is a good thing but at the same time very frustrating when you are doing more exercise than usual to try and lose just a pound but nothing seems to happen.
And then the last week I notice that I have put on 2 pounds, I thought it would happen through my body getting it self better from being ill and all that and then there is another reason why I am putting on the weight - that time of month. Not a nice topic to talk about I know but it doesn't really bother me in the least..Its a natural thing for us women, so if you get a bit grossed out because of me mentioning it, then I apologise.

The snow is coming down pretty hard here in the north east and we cant get our car out to drive to the shops, we don't even want to chance it, so its going to be whatever is in the freezer to eat for a few days and that may not be good for my diet/healthy eating plan.
OK so I am making it sound so bad, but in all honesty when you live in the countryside which no local shops near by it can be a bit worrying when the milk starts to run low! Hopefully though, it wont stay like this for long and that it wont mess with my weight too much.

Rant: Bras

Why is it so difficult to find a decent bra for plus size?
The shops that say they sell bigger sizes, yet when you actually try and find your size they don't seem to have it, why does that happen? I get so annoyed with that all the time, it is like they are starting to reach your size and then stop right before yours and goes onto a bigger size.
The amount of times this week I have gotten annoyed with companies because of this is beyond me, I have been so tempted to actually complain to them, but I didn't.

Also what is up with the prices for bigger sized bras? I saw a shop selling them for £32.00+ for one bra. I know there is more material in bigger sized bras, but it cant be that much can it? Especially when I have seen them cheaper or the same price as ordinary sized bras.

All week I have been searching for bras without lace (the material makes me itch and I end up having a rash when I wear it, unless it is cotton lace), and it cant be wired - wired bras are a nightmare for me, they dig into my sides and sometimes end up snapping so they end up digging into my skin and hurting, plus they are very uncomfortable for me to wear, so non-wired bras are the best for me.
Most shops I searched on all had these, and hardly didn't have them and the ones that I saw were nice, cheap enough as well were all sold out or they didn't make them anymore. Just my luck.

But thankfully I found some on Ambrose Wilson, so hopefully they will be OK for me.

But I just cant believe how difficult it is to find a bra. I cant go to shops to get fitted or find some there, because of the distance (It would be around 50 miles for me to travel to the nearest city to find an underwear shop, which may or may not have my size in), so shopping online is such an easy option for me.

What is taking so long?

I feel that I should explain here what is happening with the weeks and next month when it comes to the blog and YouTube channel. As you can see there is very little activity going on here and it is bugging me something rotten because I cant seem to get the excitement to actually create a blog or even make a video, very frustrating when you do want to do these things yet you have no idea what to do about.

Another reason why there isn't much activity on here is because all my photos I took of products that I wanted to review are on my laptop. When I took those photos I knew exactly what I wanted to write etc. But now the inspiration has faded and I cant actually remember what I wanted to say.

Also with Christmas upon us times are getting a little bit more busy, with the shopping, making sure I have things ready for going to Essex in December to my in-laws. I will be in Essex for 2 weeks and I have realised I have no "winter" clothes what so ever, so I am in need of a shopping spree and with me living in the middle of nowhere in the countryside we don't have that many clothes shops. In fact our local one in the town has closed. So I am spending most of my time online searching for some decent winter-ish clothes, easy you say? Not really, not when you are plus size, most of the clothes I have seen are not very flattering plus there is hardly any long sleeved tops..and if there is they are all sold out.

I didn't want to make this blog as I feel it was another excuse that I keep having, but I feel its the only thing I can write in here at the moment.

New videos & weight loss

Been suffering with tonsillitis this week and still recovering from it so that is why there is not many entries.and since I am stuck in my bed still and have been for a week, I am starting to get that bit sick of seeing these 4 walls and watching day time TV and I thought its about time I make a entry for this blog.

I have managed to make 2 videos for my YouTube channel, not the best quality I know, but still its better than nothing.

I really cant stand YouTube image stills that they pick for each video, most of the stills are pulling the most awkward expressions.

Along with that I have managed to lose half a stone *pats self on back*, now I am starting to struggle with the other half a stone. Although I know I may end up putting a few pounds back on when I am better from the tonsillitis, but that's normal for your body to do so.
