The White Company - Christmas Gift Ideas

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Christmas once again is creeping up on us, pretty much less than one month to go until the big day. If you are anything like me you maybe.. sometimes are a bit guilty of rushing about and buying last minute presents on christmas eve which I am very guilty of. So this year (as well as every other year) I have told myself Im going to try to be more organised...

Im saying this - its currently November 20th and I still have not bought any christmas presents. However I was up in Glasgow at the weekend and managed to wonder into The White Company(I can not get enough of this shop at the moment everything is such good qualitly and the packaging is just so nice to look at as weird as that sounds, if you have one of the shops near you I would definitly reccommend having a wee look).
Honestly I was in my element with all the christmassy candles, little decorations and I also seen some little things that I thought could be good ideas for presents all of the items I show I really liked when I was In the shop... especially the perfume I would defintitly reccommend that it smells lovely. So I thought I would share these little present ideas - even better they are all under £30!!. If you also have some present ideas please leave them in the comments I would love to hear some more ideas :) X

Skin Care Routine

Skin Care Routine


I have always had trouble with my skin ever since I was around 12 years old however I do suffer with acne and it comes and goes sometimes my skin can be doing really well for up to weeks at a time and then suddenly it's almost as if it all just appears at once. Holding down a good skin care routine is something that i have always struggled with - finding something that works correctly for my skin type. However over the past couple of months i would say since December 2017 I recently discovered Liz Earle Skin Care which is something that i had previously used before however not consistantly.

For Christmas i had recieved a gift set from Liz Earle which contacted the Cleanse and Polish with 2  cloths, the face toner which is honestly just amazing and feels so relaxing on the skin, along side a few other products such as an exfoliator etc.

I can honestly say that for my skin which struggles with acne and some acne scaring that these products work amazingly well for my skin type.






This product works so well and also along side the toner feels so refreshing on the skin - I usually find that leaving this product on my skin for around 5 minutes usually works best for myself and then just continue to rinse off using warm water (and the cloth which is optional) and then after doing so I just rinse my face quickly with cooler water to close the pores and then continue to using the toner... 




This is the toner that I have been using along side the cleanse and polish I find that this toner does a few things it does help with evening out the skin tone which is amazing - it also I find at night relaxes the skin and feels refreshing I usually apply this just before going to sleep and I find that the scent of it is very calming - however also at the opposite end I also find that in the morning this toner helps to awaken the skin and help you feel more awake. Overall these two products have really helped my skin over the past few months and if your like myself and have quite sensitive skin I would highly recommend these 2 products to add into your skincare routine :)

New Beginings / Career Changes


Sometimes it's important to just take a break : If I have learned anything from this year so far it's that sometimes you just need to take care of yourself and selfishly put yourself first. Recently my work situation has took a bit of a turn for the worst, but if ive taken anything from it its that sometimes a change is exactly what you need in your career. So right now i have the option of what I want do to which to be honest feels like a lot of pressure but also feels nice having the option at the same time, do I apply for college, stay within hairdressing, work in a call center, work in a wee cafe somewhere. I really dont know what to do but I have come to the conclusion that instead of taking the sitation and worrying about it that everything happens for a reason and whatever I end up doing I might enjoy more than the job Im currently in.

Anyway I hope everyone has a nice day and If you are in the same situation as me sometimes a change is exactly what you need x
