How to enjoy fitness without being a fan of fitness

It's getting towards that time again where everyone's working on their summer bods and toned booties but I find it sooooooo hard to find the motivation to do anything because i'm just not one of those sporty/athleticy girls who actually enjoy going to the gym or going for a run. I'm the sort of person who watches people run and I'm the one stood stuffing my face, just watching exercise tends to tire me out. I know I'm terrible BUTTTTTT last year I found KR.Dance who has solved all of my lazy problems. KR.Dance has so many classes available for children and adults and the thing I love most is the diversity of the classes they are so different from just an ordinary dance school or boring gym. The classes I have took part in are Adult Flex, Pole Fitness and Trifly.

Whats in my make-up bag

I've recently bought a Primer for my make-up so whilst reviewing it I thought I would share my day to day 'look'. I don't particularly wear that much make-up if i'm honest but always after a long day at college or work my make-up never looks as good as when I left my house on the morning. I've just bought the Rimmel London, Lasting Finish Primer, around £4.00 and it really does do the trick. Yesterday I checked my make-up around lunch and also when I arrived home, around 6pm and it was pretty much perfect as when I applied it. You don't need much primer at all just a small amount to cover the full surface of your face. I apply it before my make-up but you can apply it after.

19 and counting

So i'm 19 now and I had so many good plans for my birthday but I ended up being ill, absolute nightmare. I was meant to go out with the college girls, go to a fashion show and get my new tattoo, instead I laid on the couch for four days straight. Although the few days around my birthday weren't as I planned I got some lovely presents off friends and family and thought I'd share them with you lovely lot. I mainly got money which I am so thankful for but my main present off my parents were my Vivienne Westwood, Melissa Jelly shoes. I'm totally not normally a dolly shoe kind of person but Viv is my favourite and I love them, although they make my feet sweat like mad, sorry if thats too much detail.

Birds of Paradise: Plumes of feathers in fashion

Today I visited the Bowes Museum to see the Birds of Paradise exhibition as I am currently looking at Birds for my final major project at college. I've never actually visited the Bowes before and wow the building is absolutely amazing, so much bigger in person than in photographs. The exhibition is on the second floor in the Fashion and Textiles gallery. The exhibition addresses aspects such as refinement, luxury, freedom, modernism, femininity, lightness but also themes like lost innocence and black romance.
