How Keeping Active Helped Me

Growing up my Dad and I would sit for hours watching sport and eventually I caught the sport bug and start to run around the track at my local park. Running cleared my head and I felt so much better about myself as well as feeling a lot more confident about my body and meeting new people. I am the youngest daughter with Two older brothers and socializing was something that I found difficult but I didn't have to worry about anything when I was running. The confidence I gained from activities like Phys Ed at secondary school help me to manage personal struggles and look past them.

Something as simple as going for a walk or doing a gentle work out before I sit down to blog or record a video is the difference between the process going smoothly or me ending up in an anxious heap. Looking back on that time I wish I had kept up with it as it was beneficial to getting me through the tough moments and  it could have given my life more direction.

A lot has changed since my early teens and I've recently gotten back into sport and I'm really enjoying working my way slowly towards running with the passion I once had. Not for competition but for Me because I owe it to myself to be the best person I can be mentally and physically.

If your interested there's more information on their Facebook page and exclusive videos and photos on their Twitter page.

I would love to see your posts of your time at the festival so please favourite this so you can I can view your posts. Have a sweet day blogsters!

Tea Tree cleansing wipes by Sainsburys | Budget Buys

Hi Amigos! I've been trying out a few cleansing methods lately and I thought it would be a good idea to go from a budget/ non costly brand that everyone could get their hands on to well known and slightly more costly brands and see how achieve some knowledge of what the individual products do or don't do best.
I've got some great news under this review also!

Sainsburys is one of the UK's big 5 top supermarkets. They often have deals on known name skin care and beauty products so it can be a good place to check out if you want to get a deal. Sainsburys also have their own line of skincare brand that in facial care that mainly consists of cleansing wipes.

A fair bit of fraying on the second round of cleaning my face but
but it did manage to get most of my make up off.  

I've chosen the tea tree variety of wipes as I have uneven skin tone and oily skin which Tea Tree helps to manage. These wipes clain to not only remove make up leaving your skin cleansed and toned, feeling refreshed soft and smooth with added B3 anto help clear clear skin.
In the cleansing wipes range you can choose from Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and eye make up remover pads. Click here for more information.

What I liked about these wipes were as you take them out of the packet you don't have the overwhelming scent of tea tree oil as I have experienced in the past. The scent is nice but too much of it can be over powering and I often remember after using a similar product that I felt as if the scent was following me around 20 minutes after use so the fact that this scent is mild and non offensive is a thumbs up for me.

The wipes are soft and gentle on the skin but it was difficult to get a great deal of use out of one side of the wipe as if you wipe to long on one section the wipe will begin to fray and become fluffy and come apart.
This was disappointing as I try to get as much use out of the wipe before discarding it and I had to use two wipes to remove a light amount of foundation and eye make up.

Final thoughts
These cleansing wipes do stand up to to the test of removing dirt and impurities on a face with zero make up a lot better than a full face make up. I would say it's ideal for a refreshing quick fix in the morning before washing your face or if your out and about during the day.

I've been nominated for my second Liebster Award by Kim  & Kyle so I just want to say thank you both so much for nominating me. Check out Kim and Kyle's amazing blog here. 

I'm going to have a post up every day this week so be sure to pop by and see what happening. I uploaded a new book review yesterday if you'd like to check it out here!

Simple Deep Cleansing Face Mask

Hello Everyone, I'm on the skin care beat today so if you're a fellow Oily skin type individual you'll enjoy this post.

Spying like I habitually do around Superdrug I discovered Simple Deep Cleansing Face Mask.
The product declares to draw out deep down dirt, eliminate dead cells while being suitable for sensitive skin.
Simple embraces the benefits of vitamins and natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals or artificial perfumes and colours.
The colour of the mask is an off white colour while the texture is thin like a light lotion for the face while the scent is subtle with a slight whiff of what I think is Natural Clay.

My first impressions of the mask was that it was too thin to solve my oily skin issue. I cleansed my face before hand and smoothly applied the mask to face. When my whole face was covered I realised that the mask seemed to evaporate from my face. Simple recommend to leave it on for Three minutes but I had mine on for Six. I washed the mask off with warm water then cold water for the last rinse following up with my night routine.

I was happy with the results I achieved. After using the mask my skin felt smooth and more importantly oil free but I feel like I continued with this product I would have to use it everyday to maintain the results. Simple recommend to use the mask twice a week at most.

It's a shame that it didn't work out as well as I wanted as I love Simple's wipes and other products and the price was reasonable.

Please let me know if it works for you or any other masks you think are worth trying.

With Love

Dawn
