Oh So Rosie!

This is my 3rd week of making an effort to go to the gym, last week my aim was to attend the gym 3 times this week. I failed. Now ok I have a good reason! I actually own only 1 pair of 'gym wear' and whilst I could have organised my washing machine plan slightly better, my gym wear did not get the treat of 3 washes this week, and my worst fear is being smelly, so as I had no clean gym wear,  I didn't go the 3rd time. However on a positive I am now competent on a running machine, and the fears of me falling off the things are slowly diminishing. I do thoroughly enjoy you tubing people who fall off running machines, but it would not be funny if this happened to me, I would never return to a gym again. I have been doing a number of arm exercises, which are surprisingly satisfying. I did some shoulder presses, and a load of other stuff which I'm not entirely sure of the names of the exercises as my boyfriend was just telling me what to do. Handy for you reading I know. ...

For June, Birchbox teamed up with French sole, a shoe designer. The Idea of this box to step outside in time for the our fabulous British summer... weather dependant. This month you got to choose which box pattern you would like, I didn't get my first choice of design which was the Floral daze, but I did get the Pick 'n' Mix which has grown on me. Within the box you get a matching shoe bag to the box design. The shoe bag will be handy for if I ever travel. But if I'm honest I doubt I'll remember that I own a shoe bag and my shoes will probably get chucked in an Asda bag. Perhaps I can use it to stash my makeup in. June Birchbox; Iris Prima, Cowshed, Pixi, Ren, Stylondon, Beauty Protector But enough of what I will do with my shoe bag, on to the products. So far I am loving the majority of the contents of this month Birchbox. My favourite product has to be the Temporary Tattoos from Styl London ( RRP£7.99 ). My Birchbox turned up the day before I went to a...

Hello! This is my second post on my gym journey, I hope you enjoy it, if you've stumbled across this post and want to read the first; check it out here ! This week I've managed to go to the gym twice, this may only seem like a small amount but both times I pushed my self to do something which put me out of my comfort zone.  Missguided Active In our gym the weights room is an age from everything else, you also have to get a code to get in to the weights room. I normally refer to this room as the 'The Big Boy Gym'. However on Saturday I took the plunge to enter the room. Now I did go with my boyfriend, who confidently told me it would be empty. It wasn't. It was full. But I stayed in there as long as I could possibly take, even when some annoying bloke left his weight thing for over 10 minutes and then told me to get off so he could finish his set (inside I wanted to run away from the big boy gym and cry).  Getting out of the big boy gym proved a mission. ...

Last friday evening, the boyf and I were sat in our flat, when decided to make a spontaneous decision to go to Wild life Festival (presented by Rudimental and Disclosure) which was being held down the road from us in Brighton... It was actually based in a place called Shoreham but everyone kind of knows where Brighton is.  The First night was so much fun, we arrived about 4 ish and got our drink on. I have been to a fair few festivals before, and the nice thing about this one was that it was small, nothing was a million miles away unlike Bestival, which is like a blooming hike. So you could easily flit between the various tents and main stage to see everyone you needed to.  Rudimental were amazing as were Gorgon City and George Ezra, and I managed to miss Mark Ronson who did a DJ set. Which I was gutted about.  Must never be a fashion blogger with facial expression and poses like that! On Sunday I did debate giving the festival a miss, mainly due to my massiv...

Now I love cake as much as the next person. If I had my way I would eat cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However my 50 year old would not thank me. So for this series I've decided I'm going to document my gym journey, to get as protein world  ask' are you beach body ready?'. You know the company who caused massive controversy at the beginning of May and pretty much divided the whole world of social media. In the last nine months I have attempted to go to the gym and each time I lasted 6 weeks until I just stopped going. But not this time, this cake monster will conquer the gym. So I am going to do a few tips for lazy gym goers, like myself to get to the gym to achieve whatever goal you may have. 1. Find a gym buddy who loves the gym. Luckily for me  (or perhaps unluckily) my boyfriend is one of those annoying gym freaks who pushes me to go. Try finding some one is already a gym goer who will be happy to encourage and help you. Or grab a mate and go ...

Through out May, Birchbox has been popping up on numerous occasions, and with the thought of trying a new beauty box at the forefront of my mind, I felt birch box would be perfect to try.  I know, I know this is May's beauty box, but the 'free your mind' theme seemed too good not to miss, and I literally purchased the May box on pay day.  Now Im going to do a first impressions of my whole experience so you people reading at home (if anyone actually read my blog posts) and you're considering getting a Birchbox subscription keep reading.... Upon registering Birchbox ask you a number of different questions about your self, for example 'what colour is your hair, skin tone and eyes?'. The questions get slightly more personal preference  towards the end, such as 'Would you like natural products in your Birchbox? 'How much do you like trying new makeup products?'  I thought this was really handy as you can kind of adjust the box to what you...
