Haven't been asked to work much for the past few weeks, which is a bit disappointing. I've been looking for a new job, somewhere I can learn new things. I feel I've finished learning all that I would be able to where I've been working. I need a new challenge and am excited to see what the future brings.

Garnier Moisture Bomb Day Moisturiser

For this past summer I wanted a lightweight moisturiser with SPF to protect my skin, but having oily skin this can be a bit of a problem sometimes as creams with sun protection are often heavy. 

When the new Garnier Moisture Bomb Day Moisturiser came out I asked on Garnier's instagram account if it had a lotion texture or if it was more like a cream. They replied and said that it was more akin to a lotion, so when it finally saw the product in store I decided to get it. 

Garnier 3 in 1 Moisture Bomb Day Cream claims to have an ultra light texture which melts immediately on contact with skin and hydrates perfectly all day long without a greasy or sticky effect. It includes plant serum and UV protection to hydrate and protect skin.

Upon first try of Garnier Moisture Bomb Day Moisturiser I was very pleasantly surprised as it is indeed a very lightweight lotion. I like the scent (it smells like papaya), it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky or looking shiny. The only downside is that the SPF is only 10, whereas on most day creams it is at least 15 but it doesn't really bother me that much, so I would definitely buy this product again.

Find Garnier Moisture Bomb Day Moisturiser in Superdrug and Boots.

This Saturday I have to attend a first aid course in the morning, it lasts 6 hours and that's just the first half of it, in 2 weeks I'll have to go again to complete it. That means I'm going to miss out on shopping, or rather window shopping as I'm kind of broke at the moment ha.

The Skincare Ingredients You Need To Know About

Because I'm kind of obsessed with skincare and always want to try something that will help me improve the look of my skin, I've learned a couple of things about the ingredients they use and how they can make your skin feel and look better.

Niacinamide

Great for: Evening out skin tone and minimising the look of pores by increasing collagen levels.

Find it in: Olay Total Effects Feather Weight Moisturiser, £15

Retinol

Great for: Reducing the appearance of fine lines and hyperpigmentation by speeding up cell turnover. Can increase sun sensitivity so wearing SPF the following morning is a must.

Find it in: Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil for Face, £10

Hyaluronic Acid

Great for: Helps maintain skin's elasticity and strength by retaining water, in turn making skin look soft and hydrated.

Find it in: Nip+Fab Dragon's Blood Fix Hyaluronic Shot, £25

Glycolic Acid

Great for: Refining the look of skin by getting rid of dead skin cells as it encourages cell renewal. As with retinol, follow up with sun protection.

Find it in: Sanctuary 5 Minute Peel Off-Mask, £10

Salicylic Acid

Great for: Prevents spots and blemishes as it stops pores from getting blocked by gently exfoliating the skin.

Find it in: Garnier Pure Active Mate Control Moisturiser, £7

Enjoy the Last Days of Summer with Inflatable Zone

Summer is unfortunately coming to an end in the northern hemisphere, but fear not as we still have a little bit of time left of mild weather and some sunny days.

And to take advantage of the last days of summer you could definitely try some aquatic fun! And why not enhance your aquatic fun with one of the many options offered by Inflatable Zone?

Inflatable Zone was established in 2008 that specialises in big inflatable products such as Bubble Soccer, and water games like inflatable trampolines, slides and bouncers. They have a wide range of products, suited for the whole family and every age, which can be used in lakes, water parks, pools or the sea. 

 

Two really fun products available at Inflatable Zone are shown above. The product on the left is one of their inflatable trampoline for water use in the blue and white design. The trampoline is 3 meters in diameter so there's enough room for a group of people to sit down and enjoy of the water without getting wet, or for a couple of people to jump around and enjoy bouncing over the water. There is also the possibility of having your logo printed on to personalise it as a gift or if you are a company and want to use the inflatable water trampoline for corporate events and parties. 

At Inflatable Zone they have products that are also suited for land use, the product on the right is one of them and it's this Thomas The Tank Engine inflatable castle. With its classic character motif and a size of 5 x 4 x 3 meters, it is a great option for a children's party, park, school or fun fair event. The inflatable castle has a roofed area on the front half and a slide at the back, which makes this design very versatile and will save you from having to rent or buy two different bouncy castles. 

Those are only a couple of the products offered at Inflatable Zone, there are also many other land and water products like inflatable pool for kids and adults alike, arenas, tents and zorbing balls, so be sure to check them out.

Hope you enjoy the last few days of summer having some fun in the last days of sun!

Ringer Tee Shirt

Forever 21 Ringer Tee // Topshop Denim Skirt // Adidas Stan Smith

Got this ringer tee at Forever 21 in Monterrey and I really love the retro feel to it. Styling it with a button up denim a-line skirt and white trainers gives it an even more retro look, and reminds me of something the kids in Stranger Things would wear. 

Tomorrow is Mexican Independence Day, and not 5th of May as some would believe ha. Viva Mexico! And it's delicious food - already missing it even though it hasn't even been 2 weeks that we got back.

Everybody knows about football, and a lot of people consider themselves a fan. But have you ever heard about bubble football? 

Bubble Football is pretty much the same premise as your normal game of football soccer, only in this version of the game, the players have to wear a special inflatable bubble suit in the shape of a sphere while chasing the ball around the field, and direct the giant inflatable football towards the also buy inflatable soccer goal by making it bounce off their suits, in order to score.

New In: August 2016

Last month it was my birthday, plus we went to visit my family in Mexico, so I received some gifts and treated myself too which is why there's a lot of stuff on this edition of New in.

For my birthday Dot got me a leather bounded Alice in Wonderland book, hedgehog pjs, sticky notes and tiny hedgehogs that you place on the border of your glass as decorations. From the in-laws I received a set of socks, keyring, pens and makeup bags, as well as some souvenirs from their trip to Blackpool. From my in-laws and nieces I got some money in my birthday cards which I used, along with a £5 H&M voucher, to get this grey wool coat. 

As a treat for myself I ordered these New Balance 420 trainers in black leather. I also needed another pair of summery pjs to take to Mexico and a new trolley suitcase. For my birthday my mum got me a couple of tops from H&M. 

On our first day out shopping in Monterrey, Dot got me Pedro Paramo, which I've since started reading. We also paid a visit to the city's first H&M store, where I got a bralette and a contrast piping grey T shirt, then another ringer t shirt from Forever 21. I also got 2 layered chokers and Dot got me a set of tattoo style chokers.

My dad got me some spicy sweets, a couple of pens and some powdered iced tea and tamarind drinks (not pictured). Dot got me a new cover for my iPod. My mum gave me a set of socks, a scarf and a set of heart decorative cushions. And I bought myself a pair of leather loafers and a Mexican doll when we were in Guanajuato.

Lately I've been very into the 80s and 90s trends with the dresses and sneakers and of course, accessorising with chokers. On our trip to Mexico I bought a pair of chokers, including this one and Dot got me a couple more of the classic 'tattoo style' ones. The sun was shining so bright that day I couldn't even look up to the lens for the pictures, hence the weird poses and faces haha.

Back From Mexico

The last couple of weeks we went to Mexico to visit my family. We went to San Miguel de Allende, and Guanajuato, GTO. We also visited the first H&M in the city of Monterrey and went to the cinema about 10 times haha.

Pink T-Shirt

Since I became a fan of pink a couple of years ago, I've started to build a little collection of pink items in my wardrobe (when in high school I wouldn't be caught dead wearing pink and now look at me). This t-shirt is a very faint dusty, almost lilac pink with one pocket in a very flowy fabric, which makes it great for summer. Also, it was the first time I wore it that day and of course I spilled food on it ha.
