TREND ALERT: Denim Skirts

It seems like every shop is coming out with button down denim skirts like its no tomorrow, and normally I don't give in to trends just because I feel like they won't last very long in my wardrobe, and quite frankly they just don't suit me. But I just fell in love with this skirt; this one is from Topshop but honestly it's everywhere. 

I find this skirt ridiculously easy to style, and it's become a staple as much as my jeans, I can't believe I've never had a denim skirt in my wardrobe before. There's so many different styles to choose from right now, you've got mini a-line skirts, midi button down skirts, and even circle skirts. No matter what your style is you'll find a skirt to suit you!

#eyebrowsonfleek

I have been way ahead of the eyebrow game - so much so that I've been making eyebrow contact before eye contact for about 6 years now...but lets be real I haven't had strong eyebrows for very long at all.

I am terrible at plucking my eyebrows, like I suck so badly at it that I get weird patches and I don't understand why? I only pluck from the bottom, not the middle? So I started to get my eyebrows threaded which I love, but I was threading them so frequently that my eyebrows were getting thinner and thinner and thinner; so I'm back to failing at plucking them WHICH MEANS that I need to really heavily draw them on - literally drawing a new shape.

I've used some good products over the years, and I've varied from eyeshadow, wax and pencil and I've found the easiest way for me to fill in my eyebrows is to use a wax or a 'pomade' as it were, but I felt like my Sleek brow kit just faded off of me during the day, and sometimes it just wasn't pigmented enough to create a new shape, so I decided to take the plunge and purchase the infamous Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade (wow what a mouthful). I couldn't quite get the hang of this at first, but the thing that just made me think it was amazing was that I literally had it on for 12 hours and it still looked exactly the same. I bought the brush to go with this, and I think it was such a wise investment because I have nothing like this at all - the angled brush is so thin that its amazing at getting a crisp line and it's quite hard to go wrong with it. I can see that my eyebrow skills are going to be taken to the next level with this product - well, after I get the hang of it of course.

Have any of you tried the Dipbrow Pomade? Next on my list is the Anastasia Brow Wiz - is it worth the purchase?

I'VE BEEN GONE FOR SO LONG!

HONESTY HOUR: I took a break from blogging at the end of April, deciding that I just wasn't enjoying it anymore. I thought that a break would give me time to find some inspiration and motivation in order to blog, but all I've done is procrastinate and have been making so many excuses as to why I let myself become so disinterested in something that used to be my favourite hobby. In my defence, my laptop broke sometime in April; it just decided it would turn off at random times and be less than helpful, but I had so many opportunities to get a new one or look at getting it fixed; I didn't even ask about it. Didn't buy my camera either, and used my laptop breaking as another excuse as to why I hadn't bought something I could so easily afford at the time. 

At the minute I am typing up this post on a brand new laptop(!) and looking forward to the months ahead, prioritising my money and prepping myself for university, and most of all not putting any pressure on myself. I'll get back into blogging the same way I'll get back into playing the guitar; slowly. I don't want to force myself to be interested in something that I'm just not feeling because all it does is makes me feel unmotivated and bored.

If anyone feels the same as I do, just remember that blogging is something that you do to enjoy, and it doesn't have to be all or nothing. It's a hobby. Just do you.
