Spring Trends to Take Advantage Of Spring is nearly upon us. I repeat, spring is nearly upon us! Thank goodness it is almost here. It couldn't come any quicker if you ask me. Why? Well because in my eyes spring is basically summer. And I am over cold weather and winter fashion. In spring it begins to get warmer and we can bring out the short sleeves and most importantly pastel shades!   If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I wear baby pink all year round. It's what makes me feel most confident and comfortable, but in spring and summer in particular, it is so much easier to find clothing in this shade! You can wear pastels in so many ways. Through your accessories, in an understated way. Or a full pastel coloured outfit, made to stand out from the crowd. Either way, all pastel shades are in this spring, and it's a trend we must take advantage of! Here is one of my go to spring outfits which takes advantage of the pastel hue trend. I...

Amy's Pink Smoothie Bowl We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. By eating a wholesome, healthy breakfast, we eliminate the need to snack throughout the morning, and it makes us feel productive and motivated to get on with our day. I admit, I haven't always been a fan of breakfast. Mornings are not my strong point   and the idea of eating after I wake up does not appeal to me. Recently, however, I have been making a conscious effort to make tasty and Instagrammable breakfasts, so I make breakfast something to look forward to. I have seen the benefits and I wanted to share one of my favourite recipes for a quick, yet healthy breakfast. So here it is, Amy's Pink Smoothie Bowl. Ingredients:  1 ripe banana (save a few slices for topping) 1 cup of fresh strawberries (save 1 or 2 for topping) ½ cup of almond and coconut milk 2 tablespoons of rolled porridge oats 2 tablespoons of chia seeds (1/2 teaspoon for topping) ½ teaspoon...

Battle of the Concealers: Makeup Revolution Conceal and Define vs Collection Lasting  Perfection Concealer is my life saver. I use it every day that I wear makeup, to even out my skin, and give me that confidence boost needed to take on the day. You need to find a concealer that works perfectly for everything you need, for me that means covering redness, dark circles and brightening my face. This seems like a lot to ask for, and so far, I have only ever found one that has lived up to my high expectations.  I have been using the cult favourite among the beauty blogging community, Collection Lasting Perfection. It covers all the areas I look for in a concealer, comes in the perfect shade for me and lasts on my skin. The only downside is I find myself having to buy a new one every month as I use it so much! At £4.19 (I know it's a weirdly precise number) though it's still a steal. So, when Makeup Revolution came out with their newest concealer venture, I was e...

Best Beauty Products for Summer In summer, it's all about natural makeup, wavy hair and bronze glows. The best way to achieve this look is a holiday. But let's be honest, we want it even before we hit the beach. I have found some amazing beauty products that I swear by, which will make your beach prep easy and have fast results! The first step to getting holiday ready is fake tan. When I apply a fresh tan, my mood is instantly boosted. My favourite tan to use is Palmer's Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze Instant. This product is easy to apply and sinks into the skin quickly, meaning you can put it on before going out, so don't have to worry about waiting overnight and rinsing it off in the morning! It gives me an instant tan which isn't too dark and I can build it over a couple of days if I want a more intense look, which I do when I'm on holiday! The great thing about this tan is that I don't need to use a mitt to apply it. I simply apply...
