New Year's Resolutions: How to Set Goals that Stick in 2025

Image
As the calendar turns to a new year, there’s a familiar tradition that many of us engage in, setting New Year’s resolutions. It’s a time when we reflect on the past and look ahead to the future, hoping to make positive changes in our lives. Whether it’s a commitment to better health, learning a new skill, or being more present with family, resolutions are an opportunity to start fresh. However, if you’re like most people (including me!), you’ve probably experienced the common phenomenon of resolution burnout. By February (if not before), many of those ambitious goals seem like distant memories, and the motivation wanes. But it doesn’t have to be this way! The key to sticking with your New Year’s resolutions is setting the right kind of goals and maintaining the right mindset. In this post, we’ll explore how you can make resolutions that you’ll actually keep in 2025. 1. Be Specific, Not Vague One of the biggest mistakes people make when setting resolutions is being too general. "I ...

It's Good to Be Back

Image
Hi everyone It feels amazing to be back! Whether it's jumping into a hobby, getting back to an old routine, or just returning to a place that feels like home, there's something so refreshing about it. We've all had times when life pulls us away from things we love. Coming back to those things? It's like rediscovering old treasures. It gives us a sense of security, reminding us of who we are and where we've been. And while we're returning to the familiar, we often see it with fresh eyes. We've grown and changed, and this new perspective can bring even more excitement. So, here's to us and the journey ahead. Let's make the most of it! After all, it's good to be back. Lets see what 2025 has in store for us.   Leigh 💜

Happy New Year

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

Image
I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have defini...
