SELF-CONFIDENCE
There is so much pressure nowadays to be the best and outshine everyone else which is difficult when everybody is doing the same thing. Sometimes the pressure can really get to us, causing self-doubt and stress. Especially as exam season is fast approaching I think it is important to ensure that all the doubt and worry about not being good enough does not affect your ability to do well.
"Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do."- Oprah Winfrey. This enables me to become more motivated when I read this and gives me the confidence to keep going. Whatever you may be struggling with at school, uni or work, just remember that even though it seems like a slog now, it will all be worth it eventually.
When you fail to be the best, get the best grades, get that promotion, or even get something right, try not to let that dent your confidence in yourself. Easier said than done, I know. Believing your self-worth surely is something that will become easier with time? I think a lot of people can relate as it is a daily struggle but I've always been told that if you put in the hard work you will get there. I'm hopeful anyway.

SKINCARE ROUTINE
My skin was playing havoc a little while ago and I was fed up with it. I tend to get hot, itchy red spots around my chin and they were the bane of my life. I felt embarrassed and self-concious and no matter what I used they just wouldn't leave.
I wanted to make a routine that cleared my skin and made me feel more confident. I've never been to a dermatologist or ever suffered with acne for that matter but I just wanted to get my skin under control. My main concern with my skin is dryness so hydrating products were the way to go for me.
I cleanse my skin using the Olay Cleansing Milk with my Silvercrest Face Brush, removing any makeup from the day then polish my skin by exfoliating with the Botanics Face Scrub about three times a week, although it is gentle enough to use everyday before makeup, keeping my skin looking healthy and bright. I moisturise with the Botanics Hydrating Day Cream which is key for my parched skin and I find a little goes a long way. I minimise any spots with the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo which reduces any redness and painful spots overnight.
These products are cheap, yet work wonders for my skin. What do you use on your skin?

CHRISTMAS WISHLIST
It's almost that time of year again- the strain of Christmas dinner weighing on your belly, party hat a strew and you drag yourself to the Christmas tree for the best part (let's face it) presents! Even though we all say "giving not receiving", we all know that receiving is basically the best. The only part I find slightly awkward is the whole saying thank you - you really are grateful for that "hand-crafted" bar of soap that your Aunt got for you at a Christmas market (cinnamon spiced don't you know) - but when showing your gratification you either overdo it or aren't enthusiastic enough and come across as rude. Either way, its a minute detail that we can overlook. Here is what is on my Christmas list for this year:
