My First Video Blog!

Hi there!

It is my last day on holiday (sad face) so I thought I would mark the occasion by doing my first ever video blog!

Video blogs seem to be getting more and more popular, so I have set up a youtube channel, which can be viewed here, and if they get good responses, I'll mix up my normal blog by doing a few videos every now and then.

I thought I would do my first one on my holiday essentials. I'm sorry that it is a bit long and that the volume/sound is terrible, I'm doing it on my laptop so for now I'm afraid it'll have to do. I'll also try and make them shorter in the future, I was just very excited and got carried away, seeing as this is my first attempt.

Below is an image of all of my essentials together and below that is the video. I hope you enjoy X

my holiday essentials

ewwww why does the first still have to be so gross!!!

My Holiday Essential

Hello!

Just a quick post today as we're about to head off to a place called Cvavtat...I think that's how you spell it, to see a bit more of Croatia.

Before we went away, I wanted to buy a new body lotion/body moisturiser product, and I had heard some really good things about Nivea's Q10 Body Lotion. I hunted for it and couldn't find the lotion anywhere, but I did find the Q10 Body Firming Oil, so I decided to give that a whirl...and I'm so glad I did!

I have been using this oil every morning and evening, and it has already made such a difference to my skin after only a week. Here's the stuff they say about it: It contains avocado oil and Q10, it improves the skins appearance, it's an intensive moisturiser, it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and it firms the skin, in two weeks.

Normally, I don't pay attention to all the stuff on the back, but I have been really impressed with this. My skin feels so soft and smooth and it is brilliant for putting on after a day in the sun. I love the silky feeling it gives my skin and I do think it has helped smooth and firm everything up! Bonus! The only downside is, as it is an oil, it leaves the bottle all oily and slippery and you have to be careful not to get it on your clothes.

I thoroughly recommend this product, whether you're on holiday or at home, and I know I'll be sticking with it. Have you tried Q10? What do you think about it? Enjoy x

P.S. Don't you love the backdrop?? Better than my usual bedroom shots :)

Feel Closer With Nivea!

It's always nice to start your day with a press release that really makes you smile!

How's this for a cute idea; one of my favourite beauty brands, Nivea, has launched a fab competition called "Closeness in Motion." It is essentially a film competition where students at the London Film Academy were asked to come up with 60 second films to show how they interpret closeness today. It's a lovely idea as the subject is completely subjective the the individual, so the films can be about anything - whatever they feel closeness means to them...It's now down the the top 10, and Nivea really want people to support the film students, and vote for their favourite video.

 

Like the sound of it? Here's what you do, and good news, by supporting the competition, you will automatically receive a free goody bag packed with Nivea...erm...goodies! Sweet! Simply watch the films and rate your favourite. Tres simple! You'll also be in with a chance to win a London Film Academy weekend course, and an overnight stay in London for two!

Check out their facebook site for more info, at the moment, it looks like the favourite is "Treasured" by Frederica Arevalo - a really sweet and powerful movie. I'd love to hear what your favourite film is! Enjoy x
