Collaboration with BeautyAndTee

Hey Guys,

So here are five beauty products that I can't live without. This is a collaboration post with beautyandtee. We both decided to discuss the products we could not live without. 

1. Rimmel 24 hour Stay Foundation in Ivoy

This is by the far the best foundation I have ever used, it lasts all day without making my skin look dry. Without this foundation I don't think I would feel comfortable going out.

2. Seventeen HD Mascara

This mascara is SUPER amazing, I love it so much it makes my eyelashes look vibrant and bold. All I can say it is AMAZING! 

3. Bourjois Volume Glamour Push up mascara 

Mascara is a make-up product I can generally not live without. This is another one of my favourite mascaras. Combined with the HD mascara my eyes look dramatic and no longer need to use fake eyelashes.

4. Urban Decay, Naked Pallet 2

This pallet is amazing, the colours bring out the blue in my eyes. 
I stopped using this product for a while but recently found my love for it again and use it everyday I'm not working.

5. Bronzer

I don't have a particular bronzer that I use everyday, I use a mixture. Bronzer is just essential in my daily routine and adds colour back to my face.

Hope you guys like this collaboration check out beautyandtee's version on www.beautyandtee.blogspot.co.uk 

Life Changing | 2014

Life changing: 2014

Last year I did a blog post on a summary of my year and what was going on.  This year is slightly different for numerous amount of reasons.

Number 1 being that this is my year anniversary since I started blogging properly, some of you guys will see I did my first life style blog back in September 2013 however from the end of last year I have tried to be consistent as much as possible. I would like to say a massive thanks to you guys reading this as you are what keeps me wanting to make my blog better which I can promise there is some work going on for 2015. I would also like to thank my amazing family and friends without your encouragement I wouldn't be blogging and starting my career early.

Number 2 last year I set goals and here's the link if you would like to see how I achieved them: http://laurengt94.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/goals-achieved.html?m=1

Number 3 this year has certainly been a year about self discovery and that is 100% what it's been about. I am still learning new things about myself everyday and still growing as a person. After completing major life changing decisions I have never been so happy! I have lost friends,  gained new ones but most importantly I have grown certain friendships to the point they are now my best friends and I couldn't live without them.

Number 4 setting goals for 2015 has been very hard as I feel like I have accomplished so much this year and I don't know what is the agenda for next year. However there a few goals which are....

* to do a charity run

* to get a 2:1 in my second year of university

* to look for a new job,  to gain new experience

* to continue my healthy lifestyle

* to make this blog grow

Finally thank you to you guys,  for making this year happen with my blog and making it grow throughout the year with your continuous retweets,  tweets,  allowing me to feature as a guest blogger,  making me blogger of the day and thank you for just reading my posts. 2015 will be an even better year. Happy new year,  wish you all the best!

Below is pictures of my year:

Feelings...

We all have that one guy we'd love to be with? Don't we? But no matter how much you like them you can't be with them in any shape or form. Regardless if you want to break out of the friendzone area or its just something not worth risking.

I hate it when you've known someone for so long and you just CLICK! You can just spend every minute just being in their company without being bored! They literally know every single thing about you, when your sad they know how to cheer you up. When you've achieved something they are the first to mention how proud they are of you. They just know EVERYTHING about you without telling them.

Years of building friendship means you learn so much about eachother,  which is what I mean by you just click with them. They're someone you could trust with your whole life! The moment when you just want to tell them that the girl their looking for is right in front of you,  is when you realise feelings have gotten much deeper than expected. 

Friendship is something that I treasure the most! And I want my next relationship to be with someone who knows me inside and out just like this person I've been describing! Just someone I can chill and talk about life with,  feel comfortable and just appreciate one another's company!

Update...

 Here is a mini update on what has been going on in my life at the moment and why I have been so busy.

1. Being a Guest Blogger 

This year I have been working so hard to get my blog noticed and a few weeks ago I saw a blogger wanted someone to feature on her blog. Details were exchanged and the blog she wanted me to write was about'Workout Motivation' so Wednesday 12th November my post for her blog went live. I was working so hard on that blog post because it meant I would have more and more of you guys reading my blogs.

Check out the blog post: http://www.stylebyamber.com/life-advice/1043

Make sure you check out Amber's whole blog as she is an inspiration and deserves a lot of credit!

2. University 

For the past month I have been working super hard at my studies and have therefore been very distant from my blog. I haven't had time for myself because I have been doing late nights and early mornings. I'm so glad I was organised other wise I would not be functioning right now!

3. Training 

I have been training super hard as I'm super excited about next year. Once January 2015 comes I am going to register to do the race for life, I will do a blog post on why I have chosen to do that race next year. I am still training with a personal trainer as he encourages me to still be committed to loosing weight. However I have started to go gym again (three or four times a week)so I am ready for the training sessions I have weekly.

4. My Blog 

I know myself that my blog is slacking so I am currently finding ways to make my blog more attractive to viewers and to influence more people to read my blog! I don't want to give to much a way but it's going to be a major change for those who read my blogs regularly and for me. I have a list of blogs I have to write with my next one being very personal and something that has taken me time to seriously think about what to write!

I hope this blog has helped you understand why I haven't been blogging at all, and my efforts to make the blogs more enjoyable to read!

Any ideas for a future blog post, comment below!

Love Lauren

Time Away...

This is one of many blog posts to follow in the coming weeks. As you guys can tell my blog hasn't had any new posts in a while, this is due to the fact I have been working loads and I've had so much uni work to do.

I guess I was struggling to find time to commit to my blog which is bad as this is something I enjoy and is most definitely one of my favorite hobbies to do. 

I have been working very hard to get my blog noticed and have been given a fantastic opportunity which I can't share with you guys just yet! I promise you it is something exciting!!

Thank you to all you guys who have been keeping my blog active by viewing it over the month and being patient withe lack of blog posts but from now till the end of year there will be more frequent posts so stayed tuned!!

Lots of Love 

Lauren
