We all have to make decisions in life. Decision making is what steers our lives in the right direction and takes us along a path that suits us and keeps us as happy as we can be. Now, some decisions are harder than others. Some will take much longer to implement and feel the benefits of. But all in all, it’s important that you consistently make the right decisions in order for us to feel as happy and content as we can. The good news is that there are various things you can do to help yourself along the way. Here are just a few pieces of advice that can help to guide you in the right direction!

 

Take Things Slowly

There’s really no need to rush when it comes to most things in life. We may feel like things are propelling forward at a really fast rate, as many other peoples’ lives change quickly in front of our eyes. We look at people we vaguely know jumping from one big life step to another - moving in with partners, getting married, having kids, buying their own houses… the list goes on. But it’s important to remember that a lot of what’s posted on social media is posted through a rose coloured filter and you don’t see the negative aspects of these people’s lives. Most of us go through hardships, dips, lower times and other problems - we’re just more likely to keep these moments of our lives more private. So, don’t feel rushed because others’ lives seem to be progressing quickly. Five people on social media consistently posting big life steps may make you feel that “everyone’s moving forward” and leaving you behind, but really, the majority of people you know are probably at a similar stage to you and just keeping quieter about it. Take your time when it comes to anything major. Don’t feel pressured. Things will happen as they’re supposed to and you can’t rush them! If things come up that you need time to mull over, take the time to mull over them!

 

Prioritise Yourself

Unless you have dependents, such as children or pets, you should prioritise yourself and your own wants and needs when making your big life decisions. Sure, this may sound selfish at the outset. But when it comes down to it, this is your life and you need to live it in the way that you feel is best. Way too many of us allow our lives to revolve around others and their wants and needs. This can particularly cause problems down the line when you look back on years and feel a sense of loss or bitterness on having missed out on the things you wish you’d had a chance to do. So, put yourself at the top of your priorities!

 

Change Things That Bring You Down

If there’s something bothering you in your life, you can generally change it. This can go for anything. If you’re in a relationship that leaves you feeling drained, down or lacking in confidence, you can always leave and walk away from it. If your nose really bothers you and you simply can’t grow to love it, you can consider non surgical nose jobs with a trained and qualified professional. If you hate your job, you can start searching for a new one and leave. You very rarely have to stay in a situation that is making you unhappy. If you identify that something is regularly bringing you down, simply work to change it. Leave. Move on. Whatever it takes!

 

Get Some Outside Perspective

Sometimes, it’s easy to get so drawn up in your own situations that it’s difficult to look at them with a neutral outlook. Sometimes, you can really benefit from an outside perspective that can look at the basics of a situation without as much emotional bias as you may be putting in. So, seek this advice. You don’t necessarily have to take it. But it’s good to get a few different perspectives on any situation you’re in. This is particularly important if you’re dealing with something big and significant. For example, friends and family members’ advice can be useful in some situations, but in others, you may need to seek a lawyer’s advice or a counsellor or therapist’s advice on certain serious life situations. Their professional insight into areas of knowledge you may not be all too familiar with can help you to come to the best outcome possible. You can also reach out to helplines or support groups if you’re dealing with issues that you might not want to open up to your friends and family about. No matter what situation you’re dealing with, there’s some sort of support out there - you’re never alone.

 

Remember You Can Change Your Mind

Generally speaking, you can change your mind when it comes to life changes. You’re not always 100% tied into whatever you settle on. This goes for so many scenarios. If you take a job and turn out to hate it, you can find another one. If you head to university and realise you’ve not chosen the right course for you, you can switch. If you get married and realise they’re maybe not the ideal match down the line, you can get divorced. There’s always a way to change your circumstances and you never have to do anything or stay in a scenario you’ve ended up in. So, don’t place too much stress or pressure on yourself.

These are just a few different things you might want to take into consideration when making any life decisions. Hopefully, some of the advice can come in useful for you at some point or another. Perhaps the most important thing to do is to take things at your own pace and to go easy on yourself!

The skin covers the entire body but is not the same everywhere. Understanding the differences between facial skin and the skin of the rest of the body can help you to treat it appropriately.
 

Key Differences

Skin varies by thickness, with the thinnest areas being the most fragile. Facial skin is much thinner than other parts of the body. The thinnest part of the face is the skin on the eyelids.

The skin around the eyes, in general, is very thin, which means it needs extra care. The skin’s outer layer or epidermis usually has about 1mm of thickness, while it is considerably less than that at 0.1mm for the eyelids.

 

The skin under the eyes and other parts of the face is also more delicate than other parts of the body. It is also more prone to wrinkles.

Given the sensitive nature of the facial skin, it is highly sensitive. However, it is also most likely to be in contact with the sun, which explains why it is susceptible to harm from UVA and UVB rays.

 

 

Types of Facial Skin

There are also various facial skin types. There is normal, oily, dry, and combination. Interestingly, your skin type can change over time.

The normal skin type has little to no imperfections and no sensitivity, while dry skin has a dull complexion, red patches, and less elasticity.

As for combination skin, it can be oily in some places and dry or normal in others; the pores look bigger than normal and skin is shiny. Finally, dry skin has many visible lines, as well as red patches and a rough complexion.

Depending on the type of facial skin you have, how you wash and caring for it will differ.

 

 

Best Care for Your Facial Skin

The above-noted differences in the skin will help to determine what products you use for your face, which won’t be the same as for the rest of the body. Given the fragile nature of facial skin, using a body wash on it would be too harsh for it and could cause irritation.

Also, pay attention to facial skin conditions to react as quickly as possible to them. That way you can maintain balanced, healthy skin. You can find out more at Zo Skin Health about skincare solutions to maintain healthy skin at any age.

Finding the right moisturizer for your skin type is essential. Avoid putting fragrant lotion on the face as it is generally more sensitive than the rest of the body.

Finally, creating a facial skin care routine based on your skin type and adhering to it morning and evening can minimize skin issues, such as dryness and acne.

 

 

Final Words on Facial Skin

By now it is clear that facial skin is different from the skin on other parts of the body. Selecting products that fit your skin’s sensitivity and type can keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

No matter what skin type you have, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and wear sunscreen to protect against harsh damage from the sun.

*AD - Gifted - Items in this post were gifted to me by Femme Luxe Finery. All opinions are my own.

I'm back again with another 4 dresses from Femme Luxe Finery. At the moment we can't go out anywhere in these dresses (unless you want to dress up to go to the supermarket or for a walk if that's your thing!) so hopefully, this post will give you some ideas for ways to dress up once this whole thing is over and night outs are a go again. 

 Red Satin Ruched Side Slip Mini Dress - Maeve

How gorgeous is this red satin dress? I'm in love with it and it's colour. It's such a stand out piece. It features a ruched side which can be tightened or loosened depending on how you want it and a dropped neck to give it another lovely feature. I'd say size down for this dress as it is quite baggy around the waist area. I've seen a lot of satin dresses on Instagram and many times I have seen them layered so I thought I'd try layering it two different ways. 

 The first way I tried was with this roll neck black long-sleeved jumper mixed with my silver and black western belt. This way works really well in Autumn/Winter when it is a bit colder and could be paired with black tights for extra warmth. I really love the way the black and red looks together and I got great comments when I wore this out last time! The second layered look features a white t-shirt.  I don't like this way as much but a lot of people seem to wear satin dresses this way and I still think it works really well. The look would work better in Summer on a warmer day. I used the same belt as before as I think it just looks fab with the dress whatever way it's worn. 

Let me know in the comments which way you prefer - black long-sleeved or white short-sleeved?

Pink Satin Puff Sleeve Square Neck Mini Dress - Juliane

The second dress is another satin dress. This time in the form of this beautiful neon pink colour. It features puff sleeves (which if you know me, you know I have an obsession with), a square neckline and again is a mini dress. The sleeves can be worn off-shoulder or on and as you can see I prefer them on. This dress also comes in green and black if bright pink isn't your colour. I again paired it with my western belt but I also thought I'd try it with my diamante belt too for a more glam look. I really don't know which way I prefer so you will have to let me know in the comments below which way you prefer yourself. 

White Heart Print Tie Front Ruffle Hem Mini Dress - Lucien 

The third dress is this mega cute heart print dress. I feel this one could be worn as a summer day dress as it's such a pretty piece. It features this lovely black and white heart print with a layered ruffle skirt and a tie on the chest. It is a strappy piece and I feel it would also look really cute layered with a white tee like the first dress. I can't wait to wear this in summer! 

Pink Mesh Floral Sleeve Bodycon Mini Dress - Kellen

The last and final dress is this puff sleeve dress in this lovely light pink colour. It features gorgeous floral embroidery on the sleeves and has a high neck. This is such a stunning piece and it can be worn in numerous ways. One of the times I wore it I used it as a top and paired it with my snake print faux leather skirt and I had some lovely comments. 

So which of these 4 dresses is your favourite? Let me know in the comments below and while you are here why not check out more of my fashion-related posts?

When it comes to beauty, it’s always fun to enjoy the pampering and treatments that you do, isn’t it? When you’re pampering and primping, it makes you feel fantastic. Your body relaxes and you always feel your best when you’ve boosted your appearance. It’s such a great feeling. However, you may find that you’re not really sure what you want to do next, or where you go next – and that’s fine. Because here’s a jam-packed beauty black book for you to consider. No matter what concerns you have or the treatments you tend to prefer, you’ll find that any one of these cutting edge ideas make you feel fantastic.

Facials

To start with, you may find that you want to book in for a series of facials. While this may not be possible in the immediate future, it will be one day. So why not look into the expert facialists in your area and the kind of skin treatments that you’d love to do and make a decision. Because looking after your skin properly will mean that you get a glow and feel fantastic for it.

Microblading

Maybe you love the idea of microblading? If you want to have gorgeous brows that stay in place at all times, then microblading is for you. They allow you to have perfect looking, shapes and pigmented brows. This saves you time every single day from having to draw them on. It can also be such a confidence boost and make you feel more put together when you’re not wearing makeup – even if you’re on holiday!

Enhancements

Or maybe what you really want to do is boost the way that you look? It’s okay if you have always wanted to make a few enhancements to your appearance, many of us do. Whether it’s smoothing out lines with botox, adding some lip filler, or even opting for a facelift, do your research now. It’s a good idea to find a doctor you like and enquire about costs so you can decide if and when you’d like to do it.

Hair Makeover

Sometimes, what you really want is a hair makeover. If you don’t feel completely happy with your hair right now, then it’s nice to be able to get a whole new look. It could be that you want to colour your hair or get longer hair and you can do that if you want. Now could be the time to save up and plan what you want to do in the future.

Spa Day

Finally, it may be that you love the idea of being able to pamper yourself. And one day, you should be able to book yourself into a wonderful spa hotel to get the kind of treatments that you want too. But, until then, you can definitely recreate the experience at home. Maybe you love the idea of running a bath and relaxing with a mask on or exfoliating and doing a manicure? Either way, it’ll definitely boost your mood.

The bathroom is a vital room within the home and each of us spends a considerable amount of time in there, to clean, calm and ground ourselves. Whether it’s a family bathroom or luxury ensuite, here is a list of designs that can work for your needs and your style preferences. 

Room Transition

Opting for a singular flooring style can allow perfect transitions between rooms. This is a particularly great option for those of you with ensuites as it provides an unnoticeable difference as you move between bedroom and bathroom.

Geometrics

Repeating patterns can be interesting and lively and for those with an artistic side, they can really help to demonstrate your creativity throughout your home, making it truly unique to you. Try honeycomb patterns, using bright colours against neutral shaded walls. 

Historic Elements

Period properties hold so much potential when it comes to the bathroom area. High ceilings, grand windows and original wooden fixtures and carvings can really emphasise the level of luxury your bathrooms bestow. Match this with wooden vinyl flooring, which will give you the same visual joy, with a lot less worry about warping or moisture absorption because luxury vinyl flooring is totally waterproof.

Amazing Monochrome

For those who are familiar with contemporary designs, monochrome flooring patterns are the perfect option when matched with brass, copper and silver features. The texture choices are limitless here, as slate, marble and limestone flooring all work well. You can also implement borders and fishbone patterns. 

Home Spa

Who doesn’t like feeling relaxed? Well to get the spa-feeling at home all you need is a simple stone or pebble flooring. Opt for cream or warm grey stone flooring and add features throughout such as; soft fluffy white towels, plants and fragranced soaps, oils and bubble baths.
Lasting relaxation with bathroom vinyl flooring.


This list should have given you enough ideas to want to make big changes in your bathroom, after all, you deserve it! Amtico Spacia is the perfect functional, luxury wooden vinyl flooring, with lots of neutral shade so you can completely capture your zen. Luvanto offers luxury tiles which can withstand the challenge of moisture and mess, which makes them suitable in solo or family bathrooms. Have fun making your bathroom a special place in your home with bathroom vinyl flooring.

Your wedding day should be one of the best and most memorable in your entire life. Getting all the little details right helps make sure you remember it for all the right reasons. If you’re wondering how on earth you’ll gather everything together and keep it pristine, these ideas might help.

Practical Storage

With wedding costs soaring, it makes sense to spread the expense by collecting and storing necessary but non-perishable items well in advance. The type of things to consider could be artificial flowers, table decorations, venue decorations, linens, glassware, cutlery and dishes. But also consider clothes, shoes, hats and accessories.

When you consider everything you need to make a perfect wedding day, the individual items can add up to quite a haul. Self-storage is a godsend for keeping everything together and immaculate. I live in Rotherham and there are no fewer than four self-storage units in Sheffield, within three miles of me! You’re sure to find a space in your own local area.

Look for a place with good, easy access so you can quickly nip in to drop things off. Somewhere on the main road, ideally on a route you take often but that’s not vital if it’s somewhere handy.

Have a look around the facility and choose a room that’s the right size. You can always change the size of your space if you find you need something different later on. Pick a space that gives room to install drawers or hanging rails and shelving. If you have space to display or spread things out they’re easier to find and keep track of. It’s okay to put storage furnishings into units as long as they’re free-standing so you’re not drilling or damaging the walls. 

Getting Organised from the Start

Making lists might be old fashioned and sound a bit boring, but they do work well. Because there’s so much to think about, keeping everything in your head is a sure way to miss something. Also with lists, you can share these between your helpers so everyone is literally working from the same page and knows what needs doing. Electronic lists, either on your phone or computer, are easy to share with your team of helpers and ensure you always have your list with you when you’re shopping. You can add to the list at any time without ending up with dozens of scraps of paper.

Lists also help you really drill down into specifics. You might, for instance, be devising the menu for your wedding breakfast. It’s not quite enough to choose ‘wine’. You need to decide what kind, how much, what alternatives you’ll offer to those who don’t like or want it. If you create a master wedding list for all the main categories of items you need to consider, you’ll have a brilliant starting place for additional lists that get right down to the individual aspects and items needed.

Use Plenty of Sealable Containers

Weddings are made up of lots of little details that come together into a glorious whole on the day. If you’re thinking ahead and starting your wedding collection early, you need to make sure everything stays as immaculate as the day you bought it, and that might mean for several months or over a year.

Storage tubs you can seal against dust or moisture are perfect for lots of items. Transparent ones are ideal as you can see what’s in there, but still use labels on the outside as an extra reference. If the contents of a box changes, change the label straightaway otherwise you might forget and accidentally buy duplicates.

Remember to protect items against light damage. Sunlight fades colours and turns whites yellow, so take extra care with clothing, shoes or stationery. If you choose a self-storage room for the bulk of your wedding haul, you’ve automatically got more protection since the units tend to be dark when all the doors are closed and they certainly don’t get direct sunlight. It’s something to be extra cautious about if you’re keeping things at home in a spare room.

Everyone’s needs are different, but one of the main things is to keep all your wedding things together in one place so you can see the big picture of your day coming together. Allowing plenty of time to spread the expense and enjoy the experience takes a lot of the stress out of the big day.

*AD - This is a sponsored post. This post also contains affiliate/referral links for sign-ups.

In times like this, it's sometimes tough to make money especially if you are self-employed or if you are part-time, so in today's post I'll be talking you through some sites I use that have helped me earn a little bit of extra money from my blog. They are more relevant to people who are already somewhat established bloggers but that isn't stopping you starting your very own blog today!

Get Blogged

The first one I'm going to start with is my favourite at the moment and that is Get Blogged. They have clients within various niches so there is usually something for every type of blogger and their pay brackets are based on your DA score (You can check your DA on the Moz website or toolbar). So the higher your DA the more you will get paid for opportunities.

Everything is really easy to do. You go onto their opportunities page, scroll down the list to one that looks applicable to you, check out the page and all the instructions for what you need to do will be on there and then write a little cover letter to apply. There is usually a few of the same opportunity posted so you have extra chances to be picked. From applying, posting, submitting and getting paid it's all super simple.  

I have personally worked on 5 posts from Get Blogged over the last 8 months and that has been a nice little booster to my income. There is no payout threshold like some other platforms as you get paid directly after each collaboration that you do.

They also have a new marketplace, this is slightly different from their opportunities page as this is where you apply directly to paid blogging opportunities with the brands rather than it go through Get Blogged, you can also negotiate pay on most of the opportunities on the marketplace too. It is well worth checking out.

Intellifluence

Intellifluence is one I've been signed up to for a while but I have only recently gained any opportunities from them. They are very simple and easy to use. The opportunities available will be posted in the marketplace for you to apply to. The more you fill in your profile and connect your blog/social media accounts, the more opps you will see. They have a variety of opportunities available, some are paid and some are gifted items. I have personally worked on two collaborations with them. One was a quick low paid share on Linkedin and one was a higher-paid guest post. Once you hit the $25 threshold you will be automatically paid out. 

Guest Bloggers Wanted

Guest Bloggers Wanted does exactly what it says on the tin in that they want bloggers for guest posts. They will upload an opp asking for bloggers to host a guest post on their site and have a max budget which you can offer any amount up to that price. So far this year the opps on there have been thin on the ground and I haven't actually worked on any posts with them yet but do keep an eye on their platform.

The Blogger Programme

I have been signed up to The Blogger Programme ever since I started applying for blogging opps and that's around 6 or so years ago now. They mainly have gifted opportunities but the occasional paid one is there too. Again it's a sort of marketplace platform where you check out a list of opps that are available to you and you apply to the ones you want with a click of a button. The brand will then message you if accepted and work out details from there.

Cooperatize

Cooperatize is a platform that I haven't worked with much but I have been signed up to it for a while. This is different from the others as you are paid based on how many unique page views you will get from the post you do. You have to predict how many page views you can get in a certain period to get paid that certain amount. If you don't hit that amount of page views then you will only get a percentage of your amount paid. I had worked on a post with Cooperatize a few years ago and I'm in the middle of one right now. At the moment I am on track with my views and you can keep updated with the numbers via the platform. There are never many opportunities on Cooperatize at one time but it's worth looking at every once in a while. 

Coobis

Coobis is a fairly new platform for me. I only signed up a couple of months ago. Once signed up you fill out as many details as you can and then a brand can 'order' work from you. For example, so far I have had one order for a guest post and one for a post that I had to write. I accepted the guest post but declined the other post. You do have to upload ID to unlock payment which I haven't done yet so I cannot comment on how payment works just yet. You are emailed whenever you have an order so you don't have to use any time checking on the platform for new opportunities.

Let me know in the comments below if you are signed up to any of these as well as what other paid blogging platforms you are a part of. I am also a member of many more blogging networks so please do let me know if you would like to see the full list of platforms I am signed up to. The others are mainly social media based opportunities or for gifted products.

*AD - Items marked with a star were gifted to me for the purpose of this post. All opinions are my own.
