Adorning in April #30: Reflecting

Well hello there, would you look at that; its the 30th April! Where on earth has time gone? This month has just FLOWN by!

I cant believe it's the end of April which means its time to finish up my series of Adorning in April.

I set myself the challenge to blog everyday this month as a way to push my creativity, create and achieve a goal and to have a bit more fun with my blog and I have managed to do just that!

~
I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog on the daily, I am very grateful that you have. I love that the internet is able to connect like-minded people regardless of where in the world you may be; its one of those amazing mind boggling things isn't it? 
~
So to complete this series I wanted to post what I've achieved this month; this is something I mentioned in my first post of April and it is something I do each month in a notebook so that at the end of the year I can look back and see all the things I accomplished, had fun with and what made me smile.

Adorning Items Everyday in April!

Hello! 

Welcome to April. I always love the start of a new month, a new week, a new day. There is always a way to find a fresh perspective on things or a time to start something new.

~

I was thinking about the new month today and what I want to achieve. Something I have started this year is writing into a journal at the start of a new month all the things I achieved during the past month. This way I get to note down the smaller achievements, the things that made me smile, the things I am grateful for and I then have a way to look over the entire year to see the things I have achieved!

Its been working well and now I am finding myself forward thinking to what exactly it is I want to achieve in the next month.

~

With that in mind I have decided to try 

blogging every day in April! 

Yup thats right, I want to do a post a day, its something i've never done or tried before so I want to see how I go and if I can create interesting and creative content on the daily! 

I haven't set out what i'll be blogging, but I do know it will be different every day, some more in detail and perhaps some just on what my day has been like, a photo of the day or my favourite motivation, quote, image etc. 

~

Let me know if you have anything in particular you would like to see in this space on the web that is Adorn Beauty and that I shall aim to do! 

You can follow along on Bloglovin HERE!

Thanks for reading and fingers crossed I'll be writing into my journal for April that I blogged everyday!

Summer Dreaming

I need to move to a place where it is 25 degrees daily, where a tan is as common as a mobile phone, where I can lie on the beach everyday and wear 100s of bikinis. Ahhh sweet sweet summer, I am dreaming of you daily. Sorry winter, its not you; its me.

Wanderlust ♥ ♥ ♥

 

  

 

Ahhh to travel the world. I have that painful yearning to see all that there is to see.

I have the travel bug.....badly. Once it begins I don’t think the urge to up and go ever leaves you.

I am so grateful and lucky that I have had so many opportunities to travel far and wide; my parents are a huge reason for that (thanks mum and dad!). I am currently full of Wanderlust, wishing and dreaming of places to see, cultures to immerse myself in and interesting and unique people to meet.

~

That’s the amazing thing about travel, you find out so much more about the person you are; just by exploring a new place, meeting new people and learning new things ~ so by the time you return home you are able to clearly see the ways in which you yourself have changed.

~

I think travelling is the most valuable way of learning; it’s such an priceless gift to have.

~

This world of ours is huge; there is so much to see, so much you can be. If you ever find yourself with an opportunity to explore and travel, take it and run with it ~ you'll find yourself full of gratitude and happiness and you will become a global citizen!

~

Here is some of my current Wanderlust to get you inspired ♥ ♥ ♥

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



What I Wore: Monday

Well hello there,

Thanks for stopping by my blog ~ in the comments let me know how you managed to fall upon this page!

Here is an outfit post, of a Autumn Monday Outfit.

During the colder months my go to outfit for work is always black tights, black skirt, plain top and some variation of coat, blazer or jacket. Its great for days when I dont wish to think prior to 10.30am, but I am attempting to shake things up a bit as that does get a tad boring for me. I enjoy creativity, and being unique; so I try to put that towards how I choose to dress each day.

~

I love the quote: Fashion is what your offered 4 times a year, style is what you pick out of that fashion. I'm going to attempt to apply this thought to my outfits this winter, so i dont end up with the same girl, same outfit, different day syndrome.

~

Hence the pants, basic as they are I want to wear more pants to work this winter. I am itching to go get these in black...

Holiday Beauty: go to lips

Hello everyone,

As you have seen from a few of my most recent posts I have been on a holiday.

Whilst trying to pick what to pack makeup wise, I thought I would snap a few picks of what lip products I decided to take.

~

I think overall I picked a good selection, next time I think I would also throw in a bright coral - Mac Vegas Volt springs to mind.

L-R:

Revlon Color Burst in True Red: LINK!

Maybelline 235 Warm Me Up: LINK!

Mac Girl About Town: LINK!

Mac Shy Girl: LINK!

Mac Chatterbox: LINK!

The Revlon Red lip was perfect for one of our dressy nights out for dinner, the Maybelline is really that 'my lips but better' colour so it suited the plane trip to a T, Macs bright pink was perfect for nights out, Macs Shy Girl is my holy grail nude colour and suits almost every occasion - I wore it mostly during the day and finally Macs chatterbox is the perfect pink, just the right shade so that it isn’t too overboard.

Overall I was happy with what I picked, I didn’t actually wear them all too much as I was on the beach all day everyday (ahhh the beach), so lip balm with sunscreen in it was much more used than anything! But I think for a non beach holiday, this selection would keep you covered no matter what outfit or situation!

~

What do you pack lips wise on holidays?
