Anyone that has a naturally dry, dehydrated skin-type or suffers with a skin condition such as eczema will know just how much the colder months of the year can wreak havoc on our faces, leaving skin feeling even more rough, irritated and sore than usual.

Everyone struggles to feel body confident at times, but even more so as the summer season approaches. Whether you're the woman with stretch-marks, the guy who's struggling to gain muscle despite hammering the gym, the girl who constantly feels fat, or the boy with severe acne, we all suffer from low self-esteem every now and again, at least. It's normal, but we shouldn't just accept it. In this post, I've put together some confidence-boosting tips that will hopefully help you feel better about your body.

At least then, when I'm struggling with sweat or I'm shivering under lots of bulky knitwear, my makeup remains looking polished and glam.
Everyone I know will testify that I am guilty of over-packing, whether I'm venturing abroad for a couple of weeks or even just spending a long weekend in a city. Not only does my boyfriend get fed up of the chaos I create when attempting to stuff everything into my case, but my indecisive self ends up all flustered whilst on holiday, trying to cobble together an outfit with too many options to choose from. This year, I've made a concerted effort to turn my bad habit around and I have a few tips on how to streamline that suitcase.
I don't know about you, but I love a good ol', clutter cull at the start of a new year. There's something cathartic about clearing out cupboards and taking a huge pile of clothes to the charity shop. But, stream-lining my makeup collection and product stash is my favourite bit. There's always a drawer full of beauty bits that are neglected, some products that are probably past their best and a selection that I insist need to be kept, 'because I will move out of my comfort zone and start wearing blue eyeshadow, one day'. So, I thought I'd share some tips on how I'm going to be doing it, this weekend...
