Twenty-Eighteen, what a year! I was determined to make 2018 the most positive year yet, and despite having a few low moments (mental health wise) this year, it's been a surprisingly uplifting, and okay year. From releasing my first single, to looking into a new religion – a lot has happened, and I have achieved an awful lot too!

New Years Eve isn't that far away.. scary really, isn't it? A new year is almost upon us... and we have no clue as to what it may hold for us all.

But.. it's not here yet, and we are still yet to see out 2018, and I have just the attire for any curvaceous girl – the most stunning 'dressy' dress – ever!

Apparently I have a "ridiculously glowy outlook on life" and apparently that's seen as a negative trait. I've not always been a positive person, and I've not always really loved life, or myself for that matter. I know what it's like to be negative, but I'm so grateful because I've turned my mindset around – I no longer think negatively, instead I'm positive, happy, and I have a zest for life that won't ever fade... so here's why it's okay to have a "ridiculously glowy outlook on life" – and how you can get a "ridiculously glowy outlook on life" too.

As a curvy girl, it can be tricky to find the perfect little black dress. When you think of an LBD, you think of a tight fitting body con dress – well, that's what I used to think. LBD's are so much more than body contouring dresses – they can be flattering, floaty, sparkly, and chic. They don't need to be figure hugging, they don't need to expose every inch of you – they just need to make you feel and look fabulous..

People get afraid of wearing prints. But for me it's always been natural. Bold prints, patterns and colours are just a huge part of my style identity. I have always been a lover of pattern, and a wearer of bold prints and colours. Nothing pleases me more than finding a gorgeous new patterned dress, or a beautiful new bold blouse. Prints, colours and patterns aren't things you should be afraid of rocking – after all, fashion is an expression of yourself, so why not go all out?

I adore baking... especially around autumn time, oh and Christmas too. Baking brings me so much joy. I love it. I also love gifting off baked goods to loved ones.

Ever since my mum and I watched Kirstie's Homemade Christmas many moons ago (when I was in high school in fact), we have been obsessed with making salt dough. Salt dough is wonderful, and makes the most perfect autumn/winter craft – it's easy, it's accessible, it's cheap, and best of all, anybody can do it!

Fashion can be seen as a disposable outlet, but to me it's a constant. When I buy a piece of clothing, I'm not just buying it – I'm investing in it. I don't want to buy something to wear once and then forget about – I want to buy it, love it, wear it, love it, and wear it another twenty times over. Within this post, I want to encourage you to wear your clothing throughout the seasons. Granted, a maxi dress probably won't be worn on a snowy evening, but why not dress down a pretty summer tunic in the autumn?

Creating things runs in my family, and I'm a sucker for anything creative. Recently I started knitting, and I'm absolutely in love with my new hobby. Knitting has really helped me with my anxiety, as I think it's a release, and an amazing outlet in which I can concentrate on something else other than worrying. In today's post, I shall be talking about my fairly new project... two gorgeous knitted patchwork blankets.

I have suffered with spots, blemishes, and breakouts for as long as I can remember. I've never had full blown acne, but my skin has always had traits of acne. Luckily, as I've grown up, my skin has matured and dried out a little, which means I don't suffer as many breakouts as fifteen year old me did. But every now and again, especially around my time of the month or if I get stressed, my skin will break out in angry blemishes and spots....

Ever since the summer of 2016, Urban Decay's Backtalk VICE lipstick has been my ultimate go-to nude blush lip colour. I'm a sucker for pinky rose hued makeup, so as you can imagine, my heart fluttered a little when I saw that Urban Decay had released a palette to accompany the blush lipstick of dreams...

I'm curvy, and I'm not ashamed of it. In this day and age, which is far too oversaturated with faux perfection, it can be hard to embrace your natural self. Curvy girls SHOULD NOT have to compromise on fashion, and curvy girls SHOULD NEVER feel ashamed to wear what they want, and express themselves through whichever outlet they desire. For me, I adore dressing up. Dressing up in opulent outfits, vintage outfits, bright outfits, or heavily printed outfits – I just adore everything about style and fashion, and this post exists because I want other curvy girls to feel the same....

I have a love-hate relationship with the internet. I love it because it allows me to express myself and get my writings read, but I also hate it because it's a well of complete and utter doom. I recently read a book called 'It Started With A Tweet' by author, Anna Bell, and it opened my eyes endlessly. Since having read this book, my perception of the internet has really changed...

If you didn't already know, I'm a huge fan of Too Faced. In recent months, they've added so many amazing products to their collections, and I for one am utterly besotted. First it was their Sweet Peach collection, and then it was their Peaches and Cream – peaches being the focus (I mean, who can refuse those warm and sultry tones?)...

There's so much talk on social media that revolves around getting a 'summer body', a 'beach body' or a 'bikini body'. But I call bullshit. Although I understand fully, the desire of wanting toned abs, lean thighs and an 'instagram worthy' body – it's just a trap. A trap to ensure we buy into the diet industry, and a trap to ensure we loath our bodies so much that we feel the need to alter and change them.

I've been using the Tea Tree range from The Body Shop for years now, and it's a range that has a secure place on my bathroom shelf. I've been using their Tea Tree toner since I was around fifteen years old and the results are amazing. I've recently been trialling four different products from the Tea Tree range – four products that I hadn't ever tried before, and so far the results have been incredible.
