3 Things You Can Do For Yourself Within Your Environment


For this '3 Things For Yourself' I want to talk about 3 things you can do for yourself that are based around you environment. Creating an environment that feels warm, welcoming & comfortable is not only refreshing but I think it can impact how we feel overall. And when it comes to working within a certain environment, I believe we need to feel happy within that space to be able to get anything productive or effective completed. 

20 Minute Tidy & Clean 
Tidy space, tidy mind. I know this concept isn't for everyone but it's definitely how my brain works. I always work so much better when I'm in a clean & tidy environment. It allows me to just focus on the present without worrying about any surrounding physically clutter. 

Fresh Flowers 
Fresh flowers is the easiest way to brighten up your space. There is just something about having fresh flowers in my home that brings me happiness not to mention their beautiful scents. 

Candles, Defusers & Incense
As you may have been able to tell, I'm a sucker for a good scent. I'm always bound to have something burning in my space whether that's a candle, incense or a combination of natural oils. Having your environment smell delightful is just another one of those things that makes everything seem more relaxing & calming. 

What do you like to do to create a warm & welcoming environment for yourself?

Product Review: Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation & Concealer


CN 0.5 Shell 
Natural Matte Finish 
Moderate to Full Coverage 
Cool Neutral Undertone 

Beyond Perfecting Foundation & Concealer in one for a beyond perfected, natural look that lasts 24 hours. Light weight, moisturising makeup covers throughly without clogging pores. Skin breathes comfortably, colour stays true even through sweat & humidity. 

40 shades available. 
No parabens, no phthalates & no fragrances. 
$67 NZD 

I would have to agree with the product description that Clinique provides however I have found that it can become quite cakey if you're not careful when trying to build coverage. You do only need a small amount so would recommend applying & blending to small sections of you face at one time. 

Other than that I do really adore this foundation & think it's a fantastic addition to anyones collection. I really enjoying how long it lasts & the finish it gives. Overall it's a gorgeous foundation & concealer combination. 

Have you tried this foundation? What do you think about it?
