June/July Summary and Where I've Been!

How is it August already?! I swear July didn't even happen! Us Brits just seem to spend the whole of summer waiting for summer to arrive and then it's gone! I haven't blogged in a month, how bad is that?! And it's because I literally haven't had a spare moment to, I have been so busy. I guess that's good in a way, because life has been happening and there hasn't been a dull moment! So what have I been up to?

What I've been up to..

Most of the last 8 weeks I have spent every moment at home looking after and training my crazy pup! He's nearly four and a half months old now and I'm very happy with how he's growing up. He was insane when we got him at 8 weeks but he's actually calming down! He doesn't bite as much now and he seems to be able to chill out more with us on the sofa without constantly attacking us which is nice! But as everyone keeps reminding me, he's half Springer Spaniel and half Labrador so he's going to be crazy! He's getting so big now, I can hardly lift him anymore! *cries*

Enough about Theo though, one of the highlights of June was definitely going to see Taylor Swift at Hyde Park in London. She was amazing! She's just so talented and Hyde Park was just so cool, it was all amazing and so was the weather, I couldn't have asked for a better day! If you're British you will know that in June we had a heatwave, which I enjoyed apart from it being unbearable at work! However July has been mostly a washout.. But that hasn't stopped us having and going to plenty of bbqs! 

Real life has sort of happened the last couple of months.. I've been working pretty much full time and I have actually met a guy! I met him at a puppy party (that's nothing dirty I promise!) Both our pups were the most mental ones there and had a great time biting each other and it went from there! We've been hanging out a lot and are hopefully going camping this weekend, I'll keep you posted!

Fitness

So in June I joined a bootcamp! I was talking to my cousins friend and he runs one and it sounded fun so I thought I'd give it a go because I go Zante at the end of August (oh yeh I booked a holiday!) and I wanted to try a last push at getting in shape before I go. It's seriously hard but so much fun! I've met some nice people there and I've been going running too. The only problem is I've been slacking off the gym because I do that two nights a week and usually run two nights a week too! Plus seeing the new guy and walking the dog.. Busy busy.. See why I haven't blogged now?! Haha. In terms of eating in June I was pretty good, however in July it kind of went downhill and I think it's because I just haven't had time to cook properly (no excuse I know!) so I'm trying now and I'm cutting out sugar for the last 3 weeks before my holiday starting now, as a final push to look my best!

Blogging

Not great really is it! Butttt on the 31st of July my blog turned two! Terrible twos wright? ;) I think I need to work on pulling it back! I'm off work next week and I have plenty of posts I want to write, so I'll have to get working on that. I have a lot of blogs I need to catch up with too! Hopefully you'll hear more from me this month.

What I've been loving

Pretty Little Liars! I finally started watching it as everyone raves about it, I'm really liking it, I just can't predict what's going to happen! I love anything American and that's what it is, I've nearly finished season 1 and will definitely try and get a good way into season 2 on my week off! I also bought an Active Blend in June which I have been using a lot, it's so easy! My favourite includes mango, almond milk, oats and banana!

In terms of beauty I've been loving the Magnitone Lucid which I was sent to try and I reviewed here. I've really seen a difference in my skin since using it, it's so soft and my makeup goes on much better.

What have you been up to this summer so far?

Magnitone Lucid Review*

Last week I was fortunate enough to be sent a Magnitone Lucid to review. I have seen a good number of cleansing brushes on the market recently, they definitely seem to be the new thing, so I was excited to try the Magnitone one.

Magnitone claim that you will see a difference in your skin in just 7 days. I was actually breaking out when I started using Magnitone so I thought that was a good time to try it out. 

Magnitone Lucid is really simple to use. It came already charged, you simply screw the head on and switch it on, choosing between the first setting or the second setting which is for more sensitive skin. I put some cleanser on my face first and wet the head so it really cleans my skin. But I'll warn you to close your eyes unless you want cleanser running into them when you do your forehead! Magnitone Lucid also has a built in zonal timer and it beeps when it's time to move onto the next area of your face and turns off automatically after a minute, so easy! It's waterproof too so you can easily use it in the shower. It also comes with a wireless charger so it's great for travelling.

I am actually really impressed with this product! I honestly didn't think it would do that much, but it buffs off any dead skin so there's no need to even exfoliate now, it's also brightened and cleared up my skin, evened my skin tone and I've noticed that my moisturiser sinks in a lot better now too. I would 100% buy this again and it's now a core product in my skincare routine, I used it once a day as recommended, for a minute each time. My skin honestly hasn't looked this good without makeup in ages!

Magnitone Lucid is available in four different colours, I requested the Plush Pink of course! Magnitone Lucid retails at £69.99, but until July 31st you can get 20% off with BLOVE20 discount code!You can redeem it here.

*I was sent this product but all views are my own. 

Hair Inspiration

Recently I've been fancying a drastic change when it comes to my hair. I think I've realised that these will be the last couple of years of my life before I hopefully have a "serious job" so this is the last chance I really have to experiment with my hair! Maybe I'm having a quarter life crisis.. I'm not sure, but I really want to go platinum! I think if I don't do it once in my life I'll regret it, and I can always dye it back right? I'm going to do it gradually, I'll probably just start off with a bleach bath and a few highlights and see how it takes! Here is some of my favourite hair inspiration, all were found off Google and Pinterest, I take no credit for any of the images.

I love these ash blonde colours, I think that will try to achieve this colour in a few months.

Who doesn't want hair like Daenerys?! (even if it is a wig)

If my hair takes well to the ash tones I might go a step further and go white! My hair might be dead as a door nob by this point.. We shall see! I have been looking after it really well over the past couple of years and it is currently in great condition, so I'm hoping that helps when I dye it.

I love pink hair so much, I would love this colour for a holiday.. Maybe this time next year?!

Have you ever been platinum? If so how did you hair take it? What do you think to these colours? :)

Meet My Puppy!

So in my last post I mentioned that something exciting happened last weekend.. And that exciting thing was Theo! Theo is a 9 week old Springador (Labrador x Springer Spaniel). I bought him off a breeder and I went to visit him when he was 6 weeks and picked him up when he was 8 weeks! I knew he was the one for me because the breeder said he was the shy one but he loved me and kept licking me! When I went back I couldn't believe how much he'd grown, I swear he's doubled in size now since I first saw him! 

Ever since I was little I wanted a dog but my parents would never let me, and obviously it wouldn't have been sensible to have one since I went to uni, but the last few months dad just sort of came round to the idea and after mum passed away I think we all agreed that we needed some happiness and life injected back into the house, and that came in the form of Theo! Even though my dad did go on about not wanting a dog, he absolutely adores Theo and even my brother likes him and is spending time in the garden with him, which is amazing because he normally locks himself in his bedroom with his games!

Theo tends to go through phases of being absolutely crazy (usually after a meal) when he bites a lot so I usually have to shove a toy in his mouth! Then he will burn himself out and crash and sleep by our feet for a couple of hours! He's so cute though and always gets up all excited when I get in from work then follows me wherever I go! He's already house trained and hasn't pooped in the house yet! For the first few days we just took him out every couple of hours and said "do your business" and now he knows what that means. 

The weather has been lovely the last couple of days so we have enjoyed playing and relaxing on the garden together! Although he does get a bit over excited and pulls up any grass and plants he can find! He loves chewing on rocks too which is kinda strange, I worry about his teeth!

 This was what happened when I shouted "Theo come!" 

Looks like dumbo doesn't he..

He loves biting my clothes.. Especially my work fleece he loves the zipper on that! And he always gives me these puppy dog eyes when I'm telling him no, but he doesn't care that much because his tail is still wagging! He bites a lot but today he seemed to be doing it less, so maybe the telling off is finally working! Those baby teeth are like piranha teeth!

 Those puppy dog eyes!!

In the background there is his crate, which he absolutely hates. I've tried to make it a fun place by giving him treats in there, giving him his meals in there and filling it with toys.. but no he still howls like crazy if I shut him in! The first night was horrendous, I slept downstairs with him but he woke me up every night crying! So after that we have had to take it in turns sleeping downstairs with him but leaving him out of the cage.. And he's actually been fine and just been waking up about 6.30/7 for the toilet. But we are nervous about leaving him alone incase he wrecks the living room!

I've also made a little vlog so you can see him in action! The lighting is absolutely terrible but it was a spur of the moment thing that I quickly put together. I can look back and remember how small he was!

Here's the link to my channel if you want to subscribe, I've filmed a couple of makeup tutorials I might upload soon!

I've enjoyed writing my first proper post back now I'm feeling like blogging again.. I have a few ideas about what to write about, obviously I have my hands a bit full with Theo at the moment, but my usual routine should be back on track soon I hope! :)

What pets do you guys have? :)

Saying Goodbye To Mum

I've known for a while now that one day I'd have to write this post. Well not have to, but feel the need to. I don't know if any of you noticed but I haven't blogged in nearly a month now, and that's because sadly my mum passed away on the 8th of May. I haven't planned this post or anything, I've been putting off writing it but I feel like I should pay tribute to her really, and I want to be able to look back and know exactly how I felt, and I have always referred to blogging as my online diary. I doubt many people will read this, I'm not putting this post out there or anything and I'll probably just look back on this myself. So this post will be a ramble and might not make much sense. But if there is anyone going through something similar, let me know because I'd like to know how you have dealing with it.

So here's my story I guess.

I remember the day my mum told me she was going to the doctors because she'd found a lump. It was October and I was 14 and about to go to a McFly signing with a couple of my friends at HMV. She told me not to worry, that it wouldn't be anything bad. Of course the word "cancer" flooded my mind, it was that awful disease that you always heard a friend of a friend had. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I was getting ready for a Halloween sleepover I was having with my best friend, and we could hear my mum talking on the phone to her mum, we knew what was going on, I could tell my the tone of her voice that it wasn't good, but we just glanced at each other and didn't say anything. The next day mum sat me down and told me. That was the first time I'd seen her cry, we cried together on the sofa. Then I remember going upstairs and writing my essay on war poetry for English class that was due in a couple of days, my dad came in and gave me the first hug he'd given me in years, you always know something really really bad or good has happened if you get a hug off my dad.

Mum had chemotherapy and a mastectomy which seemed to work and I think there was about a year, maybe longer, where she was all clear. But the cancer came back, it was metastatic. People with metastatic breast cancer can live for a number of years after being diagnosed, but there is no cure and it's a case of staying one step ahead of the disease. I didn't actually know any of this when it was happening though, my parents did keep me in the dark, which I guess was in my best interest looking back, but it does make me feel naive. Mum would always tell me that there was nothing to worry about, and that any treatment she was having was "just a precaution". The one good thing was that she was never that ill when she was having treatment, there were some horrible side effects don't get me wrong, but she had energy and she didn't feel constantly sick or have headaches or anything so we could live our lives quite normally.

Well until September. Two weeks before I got back from America mum went into hospital again because she had been falling over a lot and struggling to walk. The finally took her in until they found out the reason, but she didn't tell me this until a week before I came home from America. When I came back she was in hospital another couple of weeks before she was allowed home. I knew something was very wrong, when your mum can no longer walk it can't be good can it? Another couple of weeks passed an I had started my new job, I remember coming home one day and she told me she had something to tell me and it wasn't nice. I burst into tears then because I knew what she was going to say.

She had six months. She was reasonably ok until November, we managed to get out with her in the wheelchair, she would have bad days where she felt really ill and slept most of the day but her personality was still there and she was still my mum. She even made it to my graduation in November. But that was to be our last family outing. Shortly after that she took a funny turn and ended up in hospital. She had started saying strange things and wasn't with it at all. Her condition had worsened and we needed to get her hospital bed moved downstairs because she could no longer manage using the stairlift, and we had to sort out carers coming twice a day to look after her. We cared for her as much as we could at home but she could hardly move by this point so she needed specialist care. After then it just got worse and worse. I slowly watched her slip away from us, piece by piece. She was so confused and she would say strange things and sometimes even cruel things which I know she didn't mean at all. It was a mixture of the drugs and the cancer. She wasn't happy anymore, I rarely saw her smile and she when she got really ill she slept 95% of the day and only woke up when we made her eat. We got the occasional nice, normal moments with her, but as time went on these became less and less. I think the hardest part for me was when she would forget how ill she was and say "when I'm better we will do this.." that broke my heart.

The thing is I was grieving for my mum months before she died. Because my mum was gone, she was replaced by this frail and unhappy woman that I didn't even recognise and I knew she was never coming back. And that was really hard to deal with considering a lot of my friends didn't even know what was happening, or if they did, very few of them understood how bad it was. When she did die there was a part of me that was relieved. It was still horrendous because it was really final and it suddenly sinks in that this is it, she's not getting better, she's gone. And I'm just so so angry that she had to go that way. The cancer could have spread in another way that wouldn't have completely disabled her and prevented us from enjoying our last months together. I'm so angry that such an amazing and beautiful woman who was nothing but nice was made to suffer so much. If there is a God, I'll never forgive Him for that. No one deserves to go that way.

I hear so many people say "I don't know what I would do without my mum" and I was that girl. But here I am, still here, without my mum. I think I'm so used to being sad now that it doesn't really feel that bad, because I'm just used to it, if that makes sense? I'm not depressed, I don't want to take my own life or anything, but I am sad. I think when I am (finally) happy again it will be a massive shock because I've forgotten what it feels like to just feel content with life. Of course I have happy moments, but there's always that sadness lingering.

I always like to find the good in bad situations, and my mum really did have the best carers we could have asked for. They were so lovely and you always hear these horror stories but those two women were amazing. We still talk to them now and I genuinely miss seeing them every day, they made a hard time so much more bearable. My dad and I are closer now too because of what we've been through. Me and my mum were always best friends and would do everything together and I would always confide in her. But because she could no longer be that person for me I've had to rely on my dad more which has made us closer. I think we also realised how strong we both are and appreciate and respect each other a lot more now. My friends have also been really supportive and I've been seeing the girls a lot more lately which has been so nice. I've definitely learnt who my true friends are.

I don't really feel like writing my usual beauty posts at the moment, although I do have some products lined up to review, which I'm sure I'll get round to writing about eventually, I think for now it will be more lifestyle and motivational posts etc. I'm going to blog when it makes me feel happy, but my routine of posting on Saturdays and Wednesdays might not be back in place for a while because I don't want to feel under any pressure.

Something very exciting did happen this weekend however, and if you follow me on Instagram you will know what it was! That will be my next post :).

I'll leave you with some of my favourite photos xx

April Summary

Firstly, May the Fourth be with you! Star Wars has been on all day so far in our house..

This month I feel like I've been even scattier than my usual self! Like I've got into this habit of posting these "Hello April" etc. photos on my Instagram so when I look back I know what month I took which photos in (handy tip there for you!) but I didn't even realise it was May until yesterday which was three days in!! Oops! Also this is the first time in like 3 months that I haven't stuck to my blogging schedule! I was off work at the end of April and planned to blog lots and get all my posts scheduled, but I just didn't have the time and fell into the trap of writing them on the day (which I hate) and this post was meant to go up on Saturday but I didn't have the time! I'm disappointed with myself!

Anyway let's get on with it..

What I've been up to..

Not going to lie April was a bit of a rollercoaster month! Some days I found myself feeling really happy and loving life, but other days I've just struggled to get out of bed, had no motivation for anything and just felt really down about everything. I think that's where my blogging suffered partly, because when I feel sad you I just don't tend to have the motivation to blog. I want my posts to be happy and I just don't feel like I can fake that when I'm feeling down. But then when I felt better and was wanting to blog I was too busy! I started off the month seeing a guy too, which I thought was going really well, but, lo and behold, men are a mysterious (and annoying) species and he decided he didn't want to take it any further. So that was a bit of a knock to my confidence, so I spent the rest of the month really trying to feel good about myself again. I started taking my fitness more seriously, which you can read about in my last post here. I intend to post monthly updates on that. I also ordered myself the infamous MAC Velvet Teddy to perk myself up! Oh and the mini break I went on with my friend to Berlin helped too! German guys like English girls apparently. You can read about my trip in this post.

Fitness

As I said I've wrote an in depth post about my fitness and what goals I'd like to achieve, but I'll give you a quick overview of what I've done since that. I started this morning with a nice 5 mile run with my best friend, we did okay but I do think I need to really start focusing on improving my running if I'm going to do this half marathon in September! Running is a tricky one, you can be really physically fit but if you don't run a lot then you probably won't be able to run far! I think it's a mind game more than anything. I've been doing these Insanity classes at the gym on Saturdays too (well when I'm not at work) and they are incredibly hard but I love them! I always feel so good after. Well until I start aching anyway! I've been trying to fit some gym and swimming into my week too. I think my perfect week would be three gym sessions (leg + abs day then arms + back day and alternate weekly), one swim (I sort of count that as a rest day) my insanity class and a run (they would count as my cardio days). But I guarantee I'll rarely be able to fit all that in! But a girl can try right?!

Blogging

I already mentioned that I've slacked off with blogging a bit this month. Honestly though I do think that's okay sometimes, as if I don't feel like blogging I just generally don't do it. Because blogging to me is a hobby, it's not a job and I don't ever want to get to the point where I find it boring and it stresses me out. I seem to have posts in my head to write but haven't got round to taking the photos, but then photos ready for posts I don't want to write yet! I've even bought the product for my giveaway but haven't wrote the post yet! Bad Becca!! Also one thing I've been struggling with which I would like your help on, is blogging friends.. Which I know sounds a bit pathetic! Basically how do you guys keep up with people and make blogging friends?? I have certain bloggers that I read more than others and tend to interact with on Instagram and Twitter sometimes, but I wouldn't really say I have any close blogging friends.. But I want some!! I think my problem is I don't have time to keep up with social media like Twitter and Instagram, so I miss people's tweets and I always forget to do the blogger chats! Does anyone have any tips for me?? Also if any of you want to follow me on Instagram or Twitter I will follow back and maybe I'll make friends that way?! Blogger friends wanted! Haha I'm such a loner blogger!

What I've Been Loving

MAC Velvet Teddy and Whirl lip pencil! I finally got my hands on them after they were sold out for ages.. I really like the colours on me actually! I will be doing a review. I've also dyed my hair dark again after struggling to get it lighter, and now that it's dark but no longer black I really like it! The dye I used was Garnier Nutrisse in Mocha. I've also been loving the InstaNatural Vitamin C moisturizer that I was sent to review, which you can read about here, it just makes my skin so soft! Of course Made in Chelsea and Game of Thrones are now back on so they have been making me look forward to Mondays a hell of a lot more! The only issue is they are both on at the same time! And when I'm up at 5 I can't really watch one at 10.. I think I'll stay up tonight though! I've been enjoying The Island with Bear Grylls too, it's so intense I love it! Although I'd never do it.. oo and I always forget to mention what I've been reading! I'm currently reading the All Souls Trilogy and I'm on book two (Shadow of Night). They are a supernatural series which are my favourite (so much more exciting than real life!) and I'd definitely recommend them if you like vampires and witches and all that jazz. 

Hmm anything else to report? Oo I applied for a Masters in Urban Planning the other day! So fingers crossed! Also I'm not feeling summer ready at all! Not in terms of how I look, but my wardrobe! I feel like I have no summer clothes! It's sad. 

Anyway, here are a few of my Instagram snaps for the April, I took a lot this month, there was more than double this!

1. Hello April

2. Easter brownie with creme eggs in, it was so gooey and amazing!

3. Snapchat whore

4. Bought these to motivate me!

5. The happiest elephant you've ever seen?!

6. Annabel and I ready for a night out in Berlin!

7. This just explains my life.

8. Trying out Velvet Teddy and Whirl and my new hair colour = happy girl!

9. I love a good quote and I feel like this is me right now.

How was your April? Are you feeling summer ready?!

Starting a New Fitness Journey

I'm not really sure what put me in the right frame of mind to really take my fitness seriously suddenly (I mean I was before but now I really am going for it!) I think if I'm really honest I'm kinda hating on men at the moment, they always let me down and I just feel like the new Bridget Jones so I decided to ditch them in favour of pursuing abs instead! There's no point getting down about something you can't control, but I can control my health and fitness and will certainly feel better if I look amazing. And I won't lie, exercise usually works better if you've got a bit of anger to vent too!

So yeh that was basically the massive change of heart I had, and what gave me the kick up the arse to really start focusing on my own health and fitness. This is going to be a long post, explaining what I'm doing really, what inspiration helps me, what my long term goals are and how to do it in a healthy way..

I guess the main reason I'm doing this is that I want to feel a lot more body confident. Don't get me wrong, my body is alright, I've always been slender and I look okay, but I want to look good naked to put it crudely! Well in a bikini anyway! I also just want to feel strong and know that I'm healthy on the inside, to know that I'm giving my body what it wants and needs. After a workout and eating well I always feel more confident about my body even if there's no outside difference!

These last couple of weeks I've done really well for me, although I had a week off work which has made it easier! I've worked out in the gym a few times (a mixture of cardio and weights) I've also been swimming, been for a couple of walks and done an Insanity class the last two Saturdays which was the hardest workout I've ever done! So I think I've got in a good mixture and exercised every part of me!

In terms of eating, I've really just been trying to cut out sugar and cut down on carbs. I usually have carbs for breakfast, Weetabix with chia seeds if I'm working because I need to be out the door by 6am! Or porridge or muesli with blueberries and a banana which I have when I have a bit more time. This week I've switched the milk in my muesli for almond milk too because it's been on offer.

Sorry for the appalling food photos, I can just never make it look good!! But it's healthy and that's what counts ;)

 If I have any more carbs they're usually wholewheat and I'll just have a small amount. I've been trying to have protein for lunch and dinner too, usually tuna for lunch and chicken for dinner. I'm loving roast veggies at the moment for dinner so I just chop up a courgette, sweet potato, pepper and anything else I have, slather some coconut oil on them and whack them in the oven with some chicken, so easy!

 If I fancy a snack I'm really enjoying natural yoghurt with Agave Syrup and a few almonds or dried fruit in. I also make sure we are stocked up on fresh fruit so I can snack on oranges or kiwis. Although I am eating I am just going to mention that I do not calorie count and if I'm hungry I eat! Please don't do any of those quick fix faddy diets where you starve yourself for two weeks, they're not worth it and the weight will come back on! The only thing I'm wary of is that sometimes I might just be craving and not actually hungry, so I'll usually have a drink of water and see if that takes the edge off, if it doesn't then I'll have a snack or if it's late at night a drink of milk which usually satisfies me. I've been drinking mainly water, green tea, peppermint tea and a new lovely chocolate orange tea which is nice instead of a desert! 

My drinking habits haven't changed much because I drink loads of water anyway! Last week I didn't have sugar for a four days, which was so good for me! Well no sugar that isn't natural anyway, so I'm proud of that because I do cast myself as a sugar addict, I love chocolate! When I went to Berlin that did get screwed up, but I think I'm back on track now. I'm just trying to eat it in moderation and not go crazy. I have been substituting sugar with Agave Syrup, which is natural and a lot better for you, you won't get a high then a drop with it, but it still tastes great! I love it in coffee and on my breakfast.

So how do I stay motivated and inspired? This is a hard one because I haven't quite figured that out myself yet! Honestly I think the weather helps me a lot. In the winter months I really struggle, but as soon as we get the first nice day I just get a wave of motivation! It's probably because I realise I'm not "summer ready"!

I think really focusing on that amazing feeling you get when you've worked out or had a good eating day helps. I just picture myself getting stronger and healthier and all the benefits that come with that. I also follow a lot of Instagram Fitspo accounts! I like to scroll through my feed and see all these beautiful women to keep me motivated! Of course I would suggest being very careful with this though as you shouldn't obsess or starve yourself, I only follow women that are completely healthy, not any that eat less than they should be. Only follow these accounts if they are going to give you positive motivation, not if they are going to depress you! But anyway here are some of my favourites:

@heysam.se

Sam has gone through an amazing transformation journey of her own and posts the most amazing recipes! Basically she makes naughty treats healthy!

@hannahpolites

Hannah is so beautiful and has an amazing body, which she works very hard for! She's an Aussie girl and her photos make me long for a holiday! She also has the most amazing trainers collection..

@cleaneatz

Cleaneatz have so many amazing photos of healthy food and great recipes, you'll never think of healthy food as boring again! They post some quotes that make me laugh too.

@annavictoria

Anna has an amazing Instagram filled with great tips, motivation, meal ideas and exercises. She also posts some great positive quotes which I love! She's all about loving yourself.

I'm hoping to update you monthly on how my progress goes with this, I think this will work harder and if you follow my Instgram @xbeccabe I'll probably post some photos of what I eat, positive quotes etc. on there too! I've taken some before photos and measurements, but no one will be seeing those until I've seen some progress! :)

How do you feel about health and fitness? Are any of you on a similar journey? I'd love to know so we can help each other!
