FATFACE CHRISTMAS BUNDLE GIVEAWAY

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!

I hope you're all feeling super festive but if not I hope this blog posts gets you well on your way to getting into the Christmas Spirit. I had so much fun shooting this little post for a very exciting reason...I'm holding a CHRISTMAS BUNDLE GIVEAWAY WITH FATFACE! 

It's a time of year for giving and being selfless and I know I adore the search for the perfect gift for my loved ones but this year it's you lovely people that are getting a christmas gift from me and my lovely friends at FatFace! I was sent the most wonderful bundle of lounge trousers, top and slippers for myself and Mike received his lounge trousers and T-shirt along with some amazing smelly candles and wash bags for us both and you can get your hands on all this. We are definitely going to be spending Christmas day in our new lounge-sets sipping mulled wine!

There is nothing I love to do more this time of year is light the fire, put a good christmas film on (ELF every time) and snuggle into some PJs and I'm totally smitten with these. Super warm, soft and comfy I doubt I'll ever change out of them. I love all my little gifts and in your bundle if you are the lucky winner you will get:

*Your own lounge trousers and top

*Slippers

*Mens lounge top and trousers (always nice to share your winnings)

*2 lovely smelling candles

Number 8 Salon Shoot

Last week I did a shoot in an absolutely amazing house in Cornwall. It was for Number 8 Hair Salon on Truro, where we went for prep in the morning and they created some insane hair creations for us, with make up by Natasha Flower. This was the shoot I wasn't handling my anxiety too well on but when you have an amazing team that are wonderfully supportive the photos are still on point! 

I massively feel in love with this incredible house, the stain glass windows, the original bells that were in each bedroom that link to the kitchen, everything I've always adored about old houses. 

I honestly wish I could create hair styles like this on myself but with all the beautiful detail from all angles I figured it's best to leave it to the professionals. What do you guys think of my hair style on this shoot?

A Bit On Life

Life can be a really funny thing sometimes. It can be a dark place where everything is confusing and you feel trapped with a millions ways of feeling alone but with no way out. But it can also be something amazing, it's something you create. Life can be wonderful, inspiring, magical even without us being capable of actual magic, it surrounds us everyday.

I have recently had such a wonderful message sent to me saying how I've inspired someone to go out and chase their dream, like I have mine. Without even realising it I have some how managed to help someone find happiness in a new job and comfort in knowing they are capable to go out there and find what they want and deserve. I'm honestly so touched that I can help some of you guys with your ambitions and dreams. Times like this I am so grateful for everything I have been through in my life, even all the dark times that seemed like they would never end, the heart ache, the tearful goodbyes...it had all been part of my journey to where I am now. 

Knowing that as I am, I can influence people to create a life they want makes me so happy I went through it all, and I would do it all over again just to know I am helping people. Life is curious, how things work out, how everything connects in ways you can never imagine. But my only advice is, have faith. Believe in yourself, believe things will improve, believe you can change, believe you can get that promotion, believe you can find a job that is effortless to go to. Have faith in knowing everything will work out no matter what happens. I completely trust in myself to make the right choices, and the rest is a journey you embrace and learn from. This is how I live, I'm grateful for all I am and have, I believe there is always good and most of all, I let things be, trust.  

Thankyou to the beautiful person for you message, it was so much appreciated. Thankyou for your kind words and inspiring this post! Goodluck in all you do, and I hope more of you will let me know if I have helped you in anyway! I would love to hear your stories!
