P.S. I Love You Book Review [NO SPOILERS]

A new book review! About time ay? Today's post is a review for P.S. I Love You by Cecilia Ahern. This book was on my TBR for a little while and I finally got around to cracking it open. I decided to read it last month since it was the month of loooove. I tend to read at least one romance novel in the month of February since it's pretty fitting. This book is slightly different though, as it's not like your generic romance novel. It is more about letting go of your past love and going through grief. If you want to know more about it, then just keep reading. 

Spring Trends I'm Lovin'

Spring has officially sprung! The weather has been beautiful recently and it inspired me to write this post. It was such a lovely Easter weekend and basking in the heat made me want to write a spring post. So today, I'm going to share a few trends that this season has served us, that I'm lovin'.

Neutral Nails

Most people love pastel nails during the spring but I'm all for neutrals. Nudes and white are my favourite during the spring time. I think it just looks really fresh and pretty. I would also put blush under neutral because it's not bright and on my skin tone looks quite nude.

Yellow

Until this year, I haven't really been so into the yellow trend. These days when I walk into a store or browse online, my eye instantly catches all the yellow outfits. I definitely want to buy some more yellow tops for summer time after seeing so many beautiful pieces on the gram. I have a couple tops but most of them are more autumn vibes and mustard.

Shimmer Blush

I don't usually like wearing blush but recently I have been loving this blush palette from Revolution. I like to mix all four colours together and put it above my contour. It's more of a sheen than glitter, so it looks super natural and radiant. You don't need any highlighter when you use this. I only apply a little bit because I'm not a blusher kind of girl. I much prefer bronzer.

Glossy Lips

I'm a gloss girl every season of the year, but I wanted to mention it anyway. I LOVE lip-gloss in the spring and summer. I have been layering glosses recently and there are a few I want to purchase soon. I like to wear my Fenty Gloss Bomb in Fenty glow, with my ELF Champagne plumping lipgloss in the centre, or NYX Butter gloss in Madeline and Kiko shade 17.

My gloss wish-list:

• Fenty Gloss Bomb - Fu$$y 
• NYX Candy Slick Glowy Lip Gloss - Sugar Coated Kiss 
• Kiko 3D Hydra Gloss - Natural Rosewood 
• Kiko 3D Hydra Gloss - Chestnut 

Red Lips

If I want to wear some colour in the spring time, I always go for red. When it comes to gloss I am all for pink but pink lipstick doesn't suit me AT ALL. I love a bit of red on my complexion and red lipstick always makes me feel confident. I usually wear it in the evening or if I go for a full face one day. I'm looking for a good red, so if you have any recommendations, please let me know in the comments.

So these are some spring beauty/fashion trends I am lovin' this season. Let me know in the comments what trends you are lovin'.

Thanks for reading,
Have a great day x

Season of Singleness

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!

I don't really celebrate Valentines Day. Partly because there's no boo to celebrate it with *cries* but also because I believe in showing your love and appreciation for others, EVERYDAY. Despite that, I love the Joy that the holiday brings. Seeing other people happy, makes me happy. I hope you've had a great day whether you've spent it with a loved one; friends, family or by yourself.

Today's post is going to stick with the same theme that I'm sure you've read a lot about this month. LOVE. *Alexa play Minnie Riperton - Loving You*

As you can tell by the title, this post is going to be about my 'Season of Singleness'. You're probably thinking, what in the world is 'Season of Singleness'?. If you're a Christian, you'll know exactly what it is. A season of singleness is exactly what's on the tin. It's remaining single at a time in your life, whilst focusing on your personal growth and lifestyle. It's riding solo, completing the missions you want to complete before you meet your other half. Obviously there is no way of knowing WHEN you'll meet your other half but the aim is to remain single before you make any commitments with them.

Having a season of singleness can be so beneficial to both you as an individual and your future spouse. You have so much time to work on your weaknesses, strengthen your strengths and learn to be content with life, whether you have someone to share it with or not. I could make a whole separate post on that, but today we're going to be focusing on what I want to get out of my own journey.

I've been single my whole life. Yup, a whole 19-years. I've had my little flings and what not as a kid, talked to some guys here and there but obviously that doesn't count. I've never been in a serious relationship. Partly because I'm super picky but also because I know it's just not my time yet. Being single and having a season of singleness are different to me. Being single is just a status, but a season of singleness is an actual period in your life. That period for me has begun this year. I started my year with the intention to dedicate 2019 to myself. Sounds diva-ish but I promise it isn't. I want to actively go out of my way to focus on my character, lifestyle and mindset.

Since this blog is a documentation of my journey to and through adulthood, I thought it would be a good idea to share the goals I want to meet during this season in my life. I don't know how long I will remain single for. It may be a year, three years, even ten, but I know God's timing is the best timing. In the meantime I want to spend 12 months meeting personal goals and serving others.
