My Dream Cosy Night In

                        

Hey friends! 

Upon having a busy or stressful day it is always an absolute delight to get straight into your comfy pyjamas and fluffy socks as soon as you come through the door! I for one, am a huge fan of comfy clothes when you're at home, as I feel it is very important to be able to relax in your own little part of the world. 

My favourite thing to do to relax at home, is get out of my tough jeans, rid my face of makeup and hop into a nice hot bubble bath. I found during pregnancy, Lavender Oil was the most beautifully relaxing scent in the world! I have a small bottle next to my bath and I put a few drops under the running hot tap when I want that little bit of extra relaxation. I bought this for £4.60 at Holland and Barrets and I highly recommend it if you enjoy baths :)

                    

I also very much enjoy reading a good book. Although at the moment, I struggle greatly with concentration and I can't seem to read for more than half an hour at one time. This upsets me as I enjoy sinking into the world of a lovely novel, and when I can't concentrate on them this is very difficult to do. I often at the moment find myself picking my book up and not being able to read for more than a page which is sad. I find reading very calming and enjoyable. At the moment I am reading a book about the running of small businesses online. I also have PS I Love You on the go which is beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. I hope that soon I am able to get into my books again. I have some nice books on my kindle app on my iPad mini which I really want to start reading again.

                        

One of the most homely and comforting things that I can think of is having a lovely hot chocolate with marshmallows on top. I used to have these all of the time when I lived in Lincoln and they made me feel right at home again. I still have them to this day when I am feeling anxious or slightly low and they never fail to perk me back up again! 

                        

When the house seems a little too quiet, I love putting my iPod in my hello kitty docking station and blasting out my favourite albums. By having music on I can sing along and it somehow feels less lonely when I don't have any visitors! When I am on long car journeys (which I am not a fan of) I love to take my iPod with me and listen to my music. I find not only does it make the time pass quicker but it also helps to take my mind off the road. I get rather uncomfortable in cars because I don't feel very safe on roads. I only feel totally safe with a couple of drivers that I know, I am also not a fan of buses anymore. I don't mind the tram though and I often listen to my iPod on the tram on the way to town to meet my friends.

                       

                       

So with my cosy and floral pyjamas on, the lovely smell of lavender from my bubble bath, a delicious hot chocolate and marshmallows, the only thing left now is the need to have a nice scented candle lit! I personally cannot light the candle myself as I am too nervous around flames, however the still, calm flicker of a candle I find surprisingly relaxing. Usually I get someone else to do the lighting of the candle bit for me ;)

                        

       

Above all else, the most cosy night in HAS to have my baby boy Alfred involved! He gives the best cuddles and I can sit with him all night. He has the sweetest little personality and is so gentle and loving. He makes the house a home well and truly. I love my Alfred :)

Questions

1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up? Nice hair and no makeup because I don't mind my skin or the way my face looks without any make up at all BUT I may get some stick if I go out looking like a caveman who's just emerged from a bramble bush! 

2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out? Well if I absolutely have to chose then I'd rather have my eyebrows lopped off. No point in walking round getting dust in your eyes. Practical choice! :)

3.Would you rather be forced to shop only MAC or Rimmel for the rest of your life? I have actually never ever had or used any MAC products, but Rimmel I have quite a bit of experience with. I love Rimmel's eye make up so I'd have to say I'd go with Rimmel. I also think price wise, I'm onto a winner!

4.Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?

Lipgloss and lip liner combo because I don't think I'd suit a perm very much...

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush? Erm, foundation line because that is easily solvable once it is noticed. However, a strong blusher disaster would be difficult to hide!

6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?

Biker shorts, I love a good pair of tight shorts!

7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered? I haven't ever had a fake tan before, I don't generally like them but if I had to I would prefer to have funny looking tan lines. At least then I could say it's due to inexperience, where as looking like a double dipped Dorito, well, there really isn't a good enough excuse!

8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair colour?

Bad hair colour because I don't believe there is such a thing! I think everyone's hair colour is beautiful :)

 

9.Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?

Twitter by far. Goodbye! YouTube is my passion.

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara? 

Mascara because I know you can do similar things with hot water as I used to do this before I tried actual mascara :)

Younique Makeup & Shock To The System

   

        

Hey friends!

I am sure most of you have noticed that I have recently joined Younique and that I have been very excited to be working with their beautiful makeup! I have received 3 parcels in the post so far and have another exciting one on the way. I absolutely love wearing makeup, although I like it to look natural as I hate the fake look. But even with a natural style of makeup, you can have a lot of fun with it. This is one of the reasons why I joined Younique. I had my business qualified last week as I reached a certain target. I am already working into the second promotion which I am enjoying a lot! 

                      

    

I am also going through the worst time of my life at the moment, one which requires a lot of hard work, and one which is very painful but is soon coming to an end thank goodness. Let's just say, justice will be served in the next few weeks!

So while I have been stuck in hospital for the last few weeks, I have had lots of visits from friends and family, and also have kept distracted by reading a book on small businesses and delving into the glittery world of my new make up stock! I love trying all the products and even made my first video in a year as a result of playing about with my favourite items. This is HUGE for me as I haven't had the courage to make a YouTube video in around 11 months, and as you know I have made over 250 YouTube videos in my time over both my channels. It is my passion. So stopping making them was very painful and out of character. 

       

    

The last five weeks have been absolute hell, but by keeping my mind focusing positively on lawyers, Younique, my family and friends, I have been able to lift myself out of what could have been it. I feel determined and very ready to fight for what is right, and this is what we are headed towards in the next week or so.

I also have been doing some secret filming on my Silver GoPro 4, in which I managed to record something which has highlighted a major flaw in a certain system of society. This has reignited my belief and determination to revive my media production and video making routes. See, it's all about taking hell and making it worth something.

We are going to come out of this a lot better off, lets just say. Quite rightfully. 

                      

   

Over and out for now, Rosie Lily <3
