You are not alone // Blogmas day 8

Hey guys xo
I was in my YouTube subscription box and saw last week it was mental health week. I had no idea so I though why not do a blog post about it as sometimes I know it can get too much and I'm always here if you need someone to talk too.

I myself don't have a anxiety or depression I may have performce anxiety but the times I have to get up and speak is rarely, but if I can do sometime to help that's all that matters. Loving with a mental health Disorder is not embrassing or doesn't make you any less of a person it makes you you and that's great. I know people with a anxiety may not even want to leave there house or talk to anyone and I know sometimes it may be hard but just step outside even if it's in the back garden for five minutes. As they say fresh air is the best medicine. I know if I've been upset or was crying if I step outside I feel so much better. Even if manage to come out of your room for even five minutes I'm proud of you, if you talk to new people I'm proud of you. No matter how big your acomplishmnet is big or small I'm proud of you.

Today nearly everyone will have some form of mental health disorder in there life amd the main thing I need to point out is never say you have anxiety or depression to sound cool or to get attetion. You may get attetion but not the kind you want. If you have a MHD then people asking do you need help or are okay makes you feel better and knowing that people care is amazing but when you lie about it people will believe you have it.

I've always been the shy girl who would be so shy to talk to people but when it came to public speaking I was fine but now although I'm a bit shy around people and some people I never know the write thing to say I get so panicked when I have to speak infront of the people. Around two months ago for English we were reading a play and we had to do scences infront of the class and I was so nervous, I had to pick a place in the room and just look at window but I did it and i was happy. And just a couple of weeks ago in English we had to write a persuasive speech and read it out and that was the scariest thing I did ever. Before I went on my hands were shaking and when I went up my heart was beating so hard, had butterflies but bad and was trying so hard to get the words out but I did it. And after I went on I was happy and in the end my grade was an A. The fact I was so nervous I made sure my speech was good and practiced a lot and it altough people didn't relaise it when I had finished and everybody clapped it made me relaise they didn't care that I could of messed up. So if your ever worried about anything like that just remember that people are going to be supportive and you never know might end up being just as nervous as you. As I said you are not alone.

Love you xo

Beauty myths we believe // Blogmas day 6

Hey guys xo
How are you. Today I'm doing beauty myths we believe. I know we all do this. We look stuff up on google and we think oh I better stop doing that but a lot of the time it's just a myth. So today I have list of myths and why there wrong. Hope you enjoy xo


1.Wash your hair everyday? This isn't true. When we wash our hair were stripping the hair follicles of its essential oils. Some studies show We should only wash our hair once or twice a week using dry shampoo inbetween washes. But other studies show we shouldn't because it makes the hair look dull and flat. 

2. Drinking water will fix dry skin? This isn't the case. Although drinking water does hydrate are skin it won't actually help dry skin.  It will help us look and feel better. But weren't not plants our skin doesn't perk up when we drink water.

3. Pumping mascara gets rid of clumps? I always cringe when I see people do this. When you pump your mascara your allowing more air in making it dry out quicker which will give us a clumpy mascara. But to fix a dry mascara just add in a few drops of eye drops.

4. I've only found out this one recently. Stream opens our pores? This is false. Steam will help loosen the dirt in our pores and help it too come easier. Our pores cannot move as we they no muscles so therefore cannot move.


Sorry it'd really short. I've been so busy and I, trying to get them all pre written.
Love you all Lauren xo 


My skin care routine // Blogmas day 3

Hey guys xo
So it's Blogmas day 3 today. Hope your enjoyed the last two days because there's still 22 more days left. So today's post isn't to do with Christmas as I was wanted to mix it up a bit.



For many years I have had such bad skin and to be honest I've never really felt self conscious about it And it was quite bad. Today it's not a bad as it has been but I still get bad days. So I'm sharing my skin care routine with you today.

I start if by taking off my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Water. This is amazing as it takes all my makeup off amd cleanses at the same time. And if I'm out at a party and come back late I'm not bother to do my skin care routine I just use this.

Next its in to face wash. I use garnier pure active  I love this as its good for my skin and its gentle on the skin and I have sensitive skin so it's good for that aswell.


Once or twice a week I use the garnier pure active 3 in 1. This is amazing I was recently using the Clinique range and when I bought this Because I ran out of my Clinique I said I'm not buying I again as it wasn't doing much for my skin.

To finish off I use The pure active garnier moisturiser. It's a matifying one so it doesn't making my skin look as oily.


The odd time i use a face mask. But not really as some brands make me break out or go red.

This is all I have today.Hope you enjoyed. 
Love you all xo

Everyday makeup products I use // Blogmas day 5

Hey guys xo
How are you today. Can't believe it's the fifth of December already. It's flying by. Today I'm doing everyday products I use. This isn't including school as I don't wear makeup.

For base I use the rimmel match perfection and natural collection powder. I really like these and there amazing value for money.




For eyes I mainly use the loreal la pallete nude in rosé. Or sometimes I use the Maybelline nudes pallete. There not that expensive and great for the price.



For my lips I use an eos or babylips. The odd time I might wear a lipstick, if I know it's not going to come off if I'm eating or drinking


I use the Rimmel wake me up as I feel it literally wakes me up. It covers up well since I need it, I don't have dark circles but it just brightens up my face a lot.

For mascara I have a little Chanel tester which is lasting me a long time. It's so good and gives my lashes Lots of volume. I also sometimes use the maybelline lash sensational.

That's really all I wear as I don't like too much on my face. I hope your enjoying blogmas as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
Love you all xo

Movies to watch at Christmas // Blogmas day 4

Hey guys xo
How are you. I'm great considering it's only 21 days till Christmas. 
I love Christmas movies more than anything so today I'm doing Movies to watch at Christmas time.

One of best Christmas movies ever is Elf. I've loved this since I was little and it's a movie you can never get bored of.
Another classic is Miracle on 34th street. I've only seen the new version but I'm sure that the old version is just as good.
The Santa Clause. These are very funny movies. I remember when the firet one came out.
I think everyone should have a Harry Potter marathon at Christmas time. I know some of them aren't really to do with Christmas but there still good movies.
The polar express. Was a favourite of mine and still is. It's a good movie and really Christmassy.
I love the grinch as it such a funny movie and a bit different but still amazing.
It may not be a Christmas movie but mean girls. I mean it does have the one Christmas scene so you could count it as a Christmas movie.
Home alone is such as good movie series. I always love watching it and the hard decision is deciding which one to watch.
Nativity. I love the first one the best. I saw the third one but it wasn't as good as the first one and the second. It's still such a cute movie.


This is all I have for today. Sorry it's short but I will have longer posts up soon.
Love you all xo

What I love about Christmas // Blogmas Day 1

Hey guys xo
How are you. So it's the first day of Blogmas. I'm so excited to do this as I love Christmas. That's why today I'm doing what I love about Christmas.

I love the general atmosphere as everybody gets all Christmassy and in the Christmas spirit.
Also I think everyone can say Christmas movies are a must. I have a blog post coming up on Christmas movie to watch so keep an eye out for that.
Christmas songs are one of best things about Christmas. The music stations always have them playing.
Decorations. I love going into shops and seeing all the decorations. It really gets me in the Christmas spirit.
Putting up the the is the best thing about Christmas. Once the tree goes up it feels even more like Christmas.
When shopping centers have there decorations up. It feels so Christmassy.
Christmas limited edition products. You may aswell buy them because they won't come out again.
Doing a Kris Kindle if you call it secret Santa. We usually do one as a class and my friendship group is doing one this year aswell.
Shopping. Who doesn't love it. The best place for me is Dublin city on graft on street and the shopping centre around there because all the decorations are amazing.
Although I'm going to miss it is the school carol service. It may be Boring but I love all the Christmas songs.
If you grow up Irish the best part is the late late toy show.
Also you know it's Christmss when the Coca-Cola ads play.


That's all I have for your today xo until tomorrow
Love you all
Lauren
