Nutribullet* Review



 
 
Hello everyone!
 
I've wanted to do a post about the Nutribullet for a while now. For me, it's one of those can't live without products in my life. After Christmas we all know everyone normally goes through a slump of feeling like they need a fresh start health wise and I was no different this year. I hate the term 'new year, new you' but felt that I fell into this category this year. This was on my Christmas list as a number one priority! Retailing at £99.00 you get a 12 piece kit which includes different blades, cups and even a pocket nutritionist! I feel this is a real bargain and great investment for your health!
 
If you know me personally, you'll know that I'm a fussy eater, especially when it comes to fruit and the occasional veg. So what better way for me to get my 5 a day than with the Nutribullet. The Nutribullet is different to other blenders out on the market in the sense that it extracts all the extra nutrients that other blenders on the market don't, which, in turn, gives you a better end result. It breaks down and pulverises all stems, seeds and skins which usually get neglected!
 
There are so many amazing recipes that you can try out for the Nutribullet which means you'll never get bored of experimenting with new ideas. One of my favourite recipes at the moment is the Pineapple Mojito Blast. (Non alcoholic of course!) You can find the recipe for that HERE
 
When I first heard about the Nutribullet I was channel hopping with my sky remote at home and came across a promotional video for it and I was instantly sold on the product! The video was along the lines of this one, but if I remember correctly the video I saw was shorter.
 
 
Since I've been using the Nutribullet I've seen such a difference in myself. Especially in my skin and my overall energy levels. I feel like I have really reaped the benefits of owning a Nutribullet.
 
You can purchase a Nutribullet and view the website HERE.

January Wishlist






 
Around this time of year I normally feel a little bit shopped out from the Christmas and January sales, not to mention Black Friday! So I only thought it be fair that I teased myself with a few items which have taken my fancy for a wish list post! Here are a few items that have really taken my fancy recently which I shall be purchasing come long awaited payday!
 
I've always really wanted a pair Dr Marten's and, in particular, a white pair! These would be ideal for wearing during the winter (just don't get them dirty). Dr Martens are such a renowned and popular brand and their is so much variety in regards to the styles which they have on sale! You can find other styles and colours of the boot I have in my wishlist here.
 
I'm a huge fan of colour in my wardrobe and I find that yellows/mustards are a colour that I always try and avoid, however this dress from Charlotte Crosby's range for Nostalgia is something that has caught my eye and must invest in! Do you own any yellow or mustard pieces in your wardrobe?
 
Again, from Charlotte Crosby's range for Nostalgia is this cute little I'm A Cloud jumper! I don't normally wear jumpers/sweaters but this one was too cute for me not to include!
 
This Fujifilm Instax camera is something that I've had my eye on for a long time but stupidly didn't ask for at Christmas! I love the baby pink colour too! Having seen some of the instant pictures it takes it's definitely something that I'd like so I can take pictures of my loved ones and pin in my room!
 
I love anything coral or pink and have wanted a style of jacket like this one for a long time now so this one from River Island has hit the mark for me. I love the sleeves on it too as I can wear it in spring and summer time too!
 
These Rose gold GHD's are so pretty! I've had my current GHD's for nearly 7 years now with no problems but I think I'm due an upgraded pair and these are exactly what I'm looking for!
 
I've heard great things about this Lord and Berry eyeliner so it had to be included in this post. I shall be doing a review blog post in the near future about this product so keep an eye out for it!

Christmas Wishlist






With Santa's impending arrival just around the corner I thought I would share with you all what's on my current wish list for Christmas!
 
I'm not really big on receiving presents for myself as I love gifting people at Christmas but this year there are a few things that I've decided I've wanted!
 
The first is a pair of new running trainers! Every year, I fall foul to the i'll go to the gym and lose weight curse that the majority of us seem to fall for but for next year I am motivated to start running again and these Nike running trainers are perfect for that and I absolutely LOVE the colours on this pair!
 
I'm not really a jumper kind of girl. You'll usually find me in dresses whatever the weather but I really like this Mickey Mouse jumper dress! It'll be perfect for me to snuggle up in on a cold night!
 
Bit behind the times here as I'm not really a fan of books! But everyone I know has raved to me about how good Alexa Chung's IT is! So I'm going to give it a whirl and see if it lives up to expectations!
 
I've always wanted a DAB Digital Radio and I've never really seen one that's caught my eye until I recently saw this Polaroid one in my local Asda! I have to have it. Can't wait to play my favourite radio stations through this!
 
I love a winter boot and I love this grey pair from La Moda. I think they will look great with some skinny jeans and a chunky knit.
 
I've liked Ella Henderson since she first came into the public domain on The X Factor. All her songs she's released so far have been brilliant so I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
 
I'm in much need of a daytime perfume. At night I wear Calvin Klein - Reveal or Viktor and Rolph - Flowerbomb but I'd like a new scent for the day and have read some amazing blogger reviews on Daisy Dream! I hope Santa thinks I've been good enough to receive a bottle this Christmas!
 
Last but not least is a Yankee Candle in Lake Sunset. This is my favourite smell in the whole world and I have to have this candle back in my life as I've ran out of my previous one as it smells so good!!
 
 
What is on your Christmas list??

Marnie Simpson Contact Lense Range for My Cosmetic Lenses !


From Left to Right
 
 
If you're a keen watcher and follower of reality TV, you may or may not be aware that Marnie Simpson of Geordie Shore fame currently has a range of coloured contact lenses for My Cosmetic Lenses ! Other celebrities that wear these contact lenses are celebrities  include  Holly Hagan from MTV's Geordie shore along with Carly Belmont, Natalee Harris and Lateysha Grace from MTV's The Valley's!
 
 
Marnie's collection has a wide range of colours available and are all well priced starting from £14.99 to £19.99. There is also FREE UK DELIVERY on ALL ORDERS!!
 
MyCosmeticLenses was founded in order to fill a gap in the market for contact lenses which look both natural in all eyes and are extremely comfortable to wear. Unlike other cosmetic lenses on the market they are extremely comfortable due to their high water content of 42% which hydrate eyes and stop irritation. These contact lenses are also extremely easy to insert. The lenses being comfortable and natural looking is a key point!
 
Coloured contact lenses are a fantastic way of improving your vision whilst also dressing your eyes up with a more preferred colour to that of your natural one, which can be great for special events such as Halloween when partaking in fancy dress!
 
After looking through the range I've found all the colours to be really striking and well worth a purchase! I shall have a review coming up shortly on the Misty Grey contact lenses! I cannot wait to share it with you all!
 
Have you tried any of Marnie Simpson's range?? What colour did you go for?!
 
 
 

Christmas Party Dresses


 
With the Christmas party season coming up I always fall into the thoughts of do I stick with a trusty LBD, or do I go on for a full blown colour explosion so i'd be hard to miss. If i'm honest, I usually go bold and daring. This year however, i'm torn with what to do. I have a lot of functions I need to attend over the Christmas period. Both day and night time parties. Including both a birthday and my works Christmas party so one dress just won't suffice.
 
The above are the ones that have caught my eye so far. I'm not really into the puffy dresses that you see people wearing over the Christmas party as I always think it looks a bit tacky. A LBD you cannot go wrong with at Christmas! It's a classic all year round!
 
The retailers I have used for this post all have wide ranges of dresses for the festive period and all are at reasonable prices!
 
You can check each website out here - Roamans | H&M | River Island | Quiz Clothing
 
Have you bought your Christmas party dress yet??

Calvin Klein - Reveal Review*



Like any girl, I like to smell nice and I normally have a couple of go to fragrances, a cheaper fragrance for the daytime and a more expensive one for the night time. There have been a few new fragrances come out recently and luckily for me, the kind people Beauty Base  kindly sent me the new Calvin Klein Reveal fragrance to try out. The fragrance ranges from 30ml, 50ml and 100ml. The 30ml retails at a bargain of £38.00!

With perfumes I always tend to go for a fragrance fruity or oriental scent as I feel these tend to suit me better than a floral scent. I can honestly say that Calvin Klein Reveal has over taken my usual fragrance, which is Viktor and Rolph - Flowerbomb, as my favourite scent! I have had so many compliments from both people I know and don't know saying how good I smell! Calvin Klein Reveal has a high sensorial raw salt signature within the fragrance which is the first of it's kind. The sandalwood scent which Calvin Klein fragrances are famous for is still within the fragrance.

I know that I will be definitely gifting various friends and family with this scent for Christmas! For other great fragrance deals check out Beauty Base

Have you tried Calvin Klein Reveal ?? If so, what did you think?
