Weekly Weight Loss- 8lbs down.

Hey guys!
LONG TIME NON SPEAK! I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Very personal things been going on!

If you have followed my blog before you would probably know that I've been on a weight loss journey! It started out really rocky and I must admit I actually gave up. But about 23-25 days ago I started again and I was really serious! The first week I lost about 2lbs and I was over the moon as I have probably said before, the hardest part for me is always the beginning!

The next week went by and I lost another 2.6lbs! Bringing the total up to 4.6lbs!

I weighed in on Saturday and to my complete and utter shock was in the stone less! (UK weight measurements are normally in stone which is 14lb roughly) I had lost 3.4lbs and was so happy! That brings my total up to 8lbs lost so far!

I know it may not seem like a lot but to me it was such an achievement. I only have 6lbs more until I have lost my first stone and can give myself my little reward!

Weigh in days are every Wednesday and Sunday normally but with the hectic schedule I have been changing it up.

As for the how!
Literally just good eating, controlled portions, exercise and writing everything down! I have been using and logging into MyFitnessPal everyday and have been really enjoying doing so. I've even made friends and most importantly I can tell the difference in myself!

I am going to write a full in depth "How I lost weight" when I reach a higher target, maybe my first stone? But I intend to continue writing these blogs for a while!

The picture is of me after 4.6lbs lost!

Thanks for reading and please keep checking back. I can't promise I will be posting that regularly but I will be trying. Makeup look coming soon! :D

Weekly Wishlist Wants+ Weight Loss Roundup- Week 2!

Sorry for not posting for a while. I've been rather busy. I have a haul coming up very soon of some lovely things I've ordered online, which thankfully all came today!

So I know I forgot to post my Weekly Weight Loss Roundup on Monday. It's week two and it's really not very exciting as I stayed the same! I did eat pizza (I know but it was cheat day D: ) the day before weigh in so I was happy to of not put any weight on! I'm trying really hard this week and so far its been going quite well. Will update you next week!

Onto my weekly wishlist wants as it is Wednesday!

This week it's makeup edition, so I had to narrow my ever expanding makeup wishlist down to five things.

1. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette.

I really want this. I love my Naked and Naked 2 palettes and have wanted this since it came out. I will definitely be buying it eventually! The shades are all matte apart from one which is the slightly shimmery one.

2. MAC Please Me Lipstick.

Need I really say anything about this!? It looks stunning and I'm in love with it!

3. MAC Pervette Lipstick.

It's just a matter of time! I've wanted this for ages!!

4. MAC Shy Girl Lipstick.

This is probably the one I WILL get first. I will definitely be purchasing this when I have £14 to spare!

5. Urban Decay Naked Flushed Cheek Palette.

This is quite new to me, but I really want it. The colours look amazing and to be honest, anything by UD is amazing quality so definitely worth the money.

So, that's it. Sorry that it was short and a little samey-samey. I just know I will end up getting all five of these things as I'm a sucker for them. LOL. I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE PICTURES USED IN THIS POST!

Weekly Wishlist Wants!!

So this was *supposed* to go up yesterday (well technically 2 days ago as it's 12:23AM) but I was busy!
I've seen people on the blogosphere post their "wishlist wants" as such so decided I would make it a weekly feature. So you people can see what I'm lusting over! Everything this week is kinda expensive and a bit more higher end but hey ho, I've been feeling like spoiling myself and this is the stuff top of my wishlist. Here are five things I've been lusting over!

1. Marc Jacobs Daisy Sunshine Perfume 50ml.
So I have wanted this since I heard about it. My mum has the original and to be honest I'm not the BIGGEST fan over it. Though I love the packaging and Marc Jacobs perfumes. I thought the original Daisy was a little played down in scent so I'm hoping this one will smell a bit more vibrant! I think I will buy this sooner or later!

2. Michael Kors Jet Set silver watch.
This is gorgeous....and I need it. ;) Just kidding. Though I do REALLY want it. I have a rose gold MK watch and adore it so the silver one is pretty much a neccessity for me at this stage and it was always only a matter of time before I indulged in another Michael Kors watch!

3. Iron Fist Heels.
Don't remember the actual name of these type of heels but I saw them on Amazon when I was online shoe shopping for my Iron Fist flats before and have adored them ever since. I'm not the biggest heel wearer but do like an occasional heel! These are so pretty and rather gaudy which is totally my style. Yet they still have that edge and don't look tacky (well maybe a little!).

4. Michael Kors Jet Set White Bag.
UGHHHHHHHH! This bag is amazing. It's so pretty, chic, elegant, you name it! It's just so beautiful! I want this so badly! I might take a trip down to Biecester Village to check this one out! I will probably never buy it but when it comes to my birthday this will be top of my list!

5. Real Techniques Core Collection Kit.
I have never tried Real Techniques but I'm dying too. And what better way to get introduced than a core collection?! The brushes look amazing and such good quality. I'm surprised I haven't bought any yet. They don't stock them in my local Boots. But I might just purchase them online. Look out for these to appear on my blog because me buying them is most likely going to happen!

So that was my weekly wishlist wants. Hope you enjoyed. And tell me your five most wanted things in the comments or tweet me!

YAY!
