Hi everyone! Can you believe its the end of March already? I'm seriously in shock, where has 2013 gone so far? Anyway, the end of the month means its time to share my lovely advertisers with you all. I absolutely love publishing these posts as it gives the lovely ladies over in my sidebar a bit of exposure and hopefully some new readers. It also means you guys get to find some fab new reads so its a win win for everyone.  Each of the ladies have wrote  a little bit about themselves and included all of their links so you can pop on over and follow them.  There's some amazing blogs and a fab shop featured this month so I'm sure you won't be disappointed  ... Becky from  Beauty Becky M y name is Becky and I started my blog, Beauty Becky, in March 2012 (nearly one year ago now!) I first started watching Youtube beauty videos about five years ago and through them I discovered beauty blogs which became a huge hobby of mine to read. I love finding new brands

House of Fraser Exclusive Estee Lauder Gift, House of Fraser Gift With Purchase, Estee Lauder  Offer Oh I do love a good gift with purchase offer and today I've got a fabulous one to share with you all. It would be rude if I didn't share this one, its that good! From the 29th January to the 14th February House of Fraser are hosting an exclusive Estée Lauder gift with purchase offer, online and in stores and its one you don't want to miss. When you purchase two Estee Lauder products, one to be skincare or foundation, you'll get seven free goodies (one being full size) as well as a pretty wash bag. So if you're a lover of Double Wear and are coming to the end of your bottle or you've been eyeing up the famous Advanced Night Repair serum for some time, now is the time to throw caution to the wind and snap them up. I was lucky enough to be sent the free gift so I can share my thoughts with you guys and give you the verdict on whether its w

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, its time to start thinking about how we're going to spend the day - will you be spending it with your other half, having a night out with friends or just showing yourself some love with a good old pamper? Whatever you decide, there's always time to fit a LUSH bath into your routine and they've released a limited edition Valentine's Day collection especially for the occasion. Much like Christmas or birthdays, Valentine's is just another excuse to treat yourself so this range of bath products couldn't be more perfect. Plus, they'll leave you smelling sweet if you've got a big date night planned! My boyfriend and I have decided we're going to cook a nice three course dinner and get a bottle of our favourite fizz instead of going out and although we won't be leaving our flat, I still intend to get glammed up and make a bit of an effort so I'm looking forward to having a pamper in the bath

If you're a beauty lover but are forever feeling overwhlemed by the endless choice of beauty products on the market or confused over which product work best with your skins needs or hair and eye colouring, then look no further as  My Beauty Matches   (formerly known as My Beauty Compare)   does all the hard work for you. By answering a simple questionnaire, you'll be given a set of perfect matches that suit all of your beauty needs. If that wasn't good enough, they also give you a break down of where you can buy the products and where is selling the product cheapest. You can then click the product you'd like to buy and be directed to the retailers website. Its that easy! I was recently invited to try out the website and buy some products up to the value of £100 so I could get a feel for how it works and give you guys my feedback. I really enjoyed using the site as it only takes a matter of minutes to fill out your beauty profile and receive your results. I fo

Healthy Meal Ideas, Four Healthy Recipes, Low Calorie Meals, Healthy Dinner Ideas, Turkey  Stuffed Pepper, Homemade Tortilla Pizza, Turkey Burgers, Garlic and Chilli prawns I'm a big believer in the whole 80/20 rule when it comes to healthy eating - I'm pretty good 80% of the time and the other 20% I eat whatever the heck I like. I certainly don't believe in depriving my body of anything so if I want pizza or a Nandos like I had today, I'll have it. I think depriving yourself will only lead to an unhealthy relationship with food and therefore more binging on the bad stuff.  I've been trying out a few new healthy recipes recently and after putting the above pictures on Instagram and getting asked lots of questions, I thought I'd pop a little post together with a quick overview of how I make each of them. I've been pretty obsessed with turkey mince at the moment as its really low in calories and super high in protein. It isn't the most ex

Clarins is one of my favourite brands so I'm always excited when I'm given the opportunity to try their new releases. They never fail to impress me with skincare or makeup and their products always do exactly what they say they will on the bottle! They recently released a range of new products for spring and I can't wait to share them with you all as I can already tell these products are going to become absolute must haves for me. Firstly, I have to talk about their new lip products which are both new additions to their popular 'instant light' line. The Instant Light lip perfectors are loved by many, and I have a feeling these new products will be just as well loved.  The Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil* (currently sold out) is an innovative new lip care treatment and unlike the usual lip balms, this is an oil infused with various plant oils such as organic jojoba oil that help to nourish, plump and soften the lips. I was really intrigued by this when
