'ONE SHOULD EITHER BE A WORK OF ART, OR WEAR A WORK OF ART'

Thursday 27 February 2014

I cleaned up my diet a little bit since I weighed in last and at the gym yesterday I weighed myself and I'm back to 11 stone! I know weight changes on a day to day basis anyway but I have been eating a little better and I weighed in at the beginning of the session so I didn't have a belly full of water so I'm not entirely convinced it is the Ketones, in fact, not convinced at all. I have the rest of this week and next week left and I don't think I'll ever buy anything like them again and stick to doing it au naturel. That is just me though, I didn't start taking them with the best diet, I snack all the time so, like I said last time I'm no ambassador for the Raspberry Ketones.

However, there is an argument to say that they do work, I have a prime example which would be rude to divulge. Raspberry Ketones are supposed to change the way you store fat and there has been evidence of that. Although, I have been drinking a lot more herbal teas which are more likely the reason for this 'evidence'.

I would say that Raspberry Ketones are taken by celebrities who have personal trainers telling them they must go to the gym and have to eat the right things. Everyday people i.e. me, don't tend to have the motivation to do that all the time, 24/7 hence the yum yum I had for breakfast yesterday. It is very tempting take things that claim to speed up weight loss but you still have to eat right and exercise well and there's not a vast amount wrong with doing that other than it being really difficult at times.

So, remember Abs are built in the kitchen and the 'beauty' comes from the inside, the person you are and the person you want to be.

10 days after starting to take the raspberry ketones, I weighed myself at the gym... No change yet! Admittedly, I haven't exactly been an ambassador for them. The day I started, we went to Pizza Hut, Chinese on valentines day and KFC yesterday but dispite that I expected a little difference. I definetely have to stop eating other people's food!

After almost 2 months off I'm finally back in Falmouth for the Spring term and I can finally share my room! 



 It's taken since September for me to be completely happy with it! Having a homely room is so important to me; even though home is only 70 miles I like to feel happy here and I need to see home comforts like lots of photographs, bunting and fairy lightings. I need lots of colour too as the uni halls are always so boring!

I wore, Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation (My life saver), Rimmel Stay Matte Face Powder, The Body Shop Bronzer and Revlon Creme Blush in Charmed Enchantment. I used the Sleek OH SO SPECIAL pallet on my eyes and the Maybelline Rocket Volum' Mascara. 
















I set my concealer with the face powder under my eyes and on my chin.

I then lined the bronzer up against my cheekbones and up to my temples which makes my cheekbones more obvious. 


I used a stippling brush for my blush because I think it packs the colour on my cheeks better. Finally, I blend it all together on my neck and cheeks with the same brush as I used for the face powder.

This is by far my favourite quote. I think it's so accurate. I think that the experiences we have, good and bad make the people we are, there is nothing to find. You have to make who you are and I think that has a large amount to do with mistakes you make and the things that affect you. I think you can create the sort of person you want to be, some may think that that is fakery but I really don't think so, create the person you want to be, that can be anything.

 I've wanted the Jeffery Campbell Roscoe boots probably since I knew who Jeffery Campbell was. They were always just too pricey at £180 a pop. I was so happy when cut out boots were everywhere, I got a really crappy pair from New Look that I've worn once then I saw a girl on campus wearing these and I was so jealous because I thought they were real. I told her I loved then and she said they were £40 from River Island. I don't know why I didn't go home and buy them there and then because they are such good replicas. I got my particular pair in Cardiff a few weekends ago for £35, I think they are wearable with pretty much everything and I just love them so so much x

 I've stopped shopping in Topshop as a general rule unless it's in the sale because I just got so fed up of buying something and it being half the price a month later. Topshop are so good at sales...
I bought this kimono in Topshop last week and it was completely made for me. My whole life is complete now I own this… The price was so much more that a bargain, with my student discount it was  . . . £22.50!!! And it is so so perfect, it's just hanging in my room so I can look at it all the time.

FROM £95.00!!

Kimono: Topshop £25
Jumpsuit: TK Maxx £16.99

Okay, so 2 days ago I bought this food supplement from Boots which aid weight loss. The decision wasn't taken lightly and I know I'm not overweight but I'm just not happy with the number I see on the scales and everytime I come home from UNI I put on a couple of pounds and I was just fed up with it. I first heard about raspberry ketones in heat magazine when Sam Faiers admitted to using them. I didn't immediately go and buy these pills, I did try the diet and exercise thing and I will stick to it this time but I feel like I just need an extra push. I think I'm also going I start writing down what I eat so I'm not just randomly picking at food especially when it's other people's in the flat at UNI! I was really careful in picking the supplement;
 I looked at green bean coffee bean extract pills and I was going to go to Holland and Barrett for them but they contained silica which research told me to avoid. I really hope they work, my 11 stone 3 pound weight is getting boring now. I'll keep you posted... x
