2014 Favourites: a Round-up

I always find it difficult to think about the previous year in the sense that it is hard to get a clear picture of what characterised those particular twelve months. It wasn't a great year in many ways (in terms of personal life), but I did turn 30 and have some fantastic moments too. I loved celebrating with my two best friends- friends I've had for around 18 years now! 

It was also a year of picking up some new interests, for example, finding a love for folk music and photography after purchasing my Sony A5000. And of course, it was in April that I started to blog more regularly and actually saw a small audience start to grow- something I'm really happy about. If you have read my blog this year, thank you very much! It is amazing to think that my hobby can be shared with others around the world! It is also a blessing that in today's age of technology, I can record my year in this blog- potentially as something to look back on for years to come!

So without further ado, I want to present to you: my year's favourites.

New Nude Skincare Products

I love Nude skincare. Love it. Years ago I discovered their amazing eye cream, which was discontinued, but have since fallen in love with their current formulation too. When I saw that they had released some new, innovative products, I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. So here's my take on the Omega Cleansing Jelly and Brightening Fizzy powder Wash after trialling them for a week or so:

SpaceNK Birthday Skincare Haul

Today is my birthday and I have invested in some new products from SpaceNK to celebrate!

Sarah Chapman Skinesis Dynamic Defense Day Cream SPF15

Having tried this out already, I can tell that this is a really beautiful moisturiser. My skin feels baby soft and smooth. Lines are inevitable once you reach a certain age (and I think I reached that a while back), but I'm ok with that. I don't believe that any skincare product can remove wrinkles completely, but I do subscribe to using good quality products. This day cream has vitamins and anti-oxidants, plus all-important SPF to make the best of what you have. And that's my mantra, as I leave my twenties behind.
