Lifestyle | My 2017 Reflections

2017 has had it's highs and lows and I spent at least half of it being poorly with numerous throat infections not expecting I had actually achieved very much but on reflection overall it has been a pretty positive year.  I often try to take moments to reflect and look back on things. It's so easy to get caught up in the normal every day routine of life and not step back and actually look at what you have and how lucky you are. In 2017 i've tried do this far more often and I am so thankful for everyone's support and love this year. It has been incredible.

I'd like to share some of my reflections with you:

My Career -  I thought long and hard about my career and what I could potentially do to progress. I decided to take the jump from managing my team, a role I enjoyed but wasn't giving me the exposure I needed to a Project Manager which has allowed me to work directly on numerous projects across different areas of the business and IT teams. I only switched roles in August so it's still early days but I'm already seeing some benefits of the move and I think I made the right decision but only time will tell.

My Confidence - I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone this year. Confidence is something people have often brought up with me and it's true i'm not the loudest person in the room or very good at self promotion or always believe in my abilities as much as I should but I do think i'm more confident than people give me credit for and this year I wanted to prove that the 'label' people have given me years ago wasn't necessarily still 100% the case.  

I've tried to speak up more often, take the lead whenever I can and when I've been to external work events i've networked and even approached people about mentoring.  I'm really pleased I took the plunge and did these things as I didn't find it hard, i'm a people person and love speaking to others but it has helped prove to others I'm not as shy and quiet as everyone thinks!

Turning 30 - This year I turned dirty thirty eeeek! This was not something I was best pleased about, in fact I absolutely dreaded it as it felt so 'old' compared to my twenties or teenage years but actually it was amazing. My family and Husband planned an incredible week of surprises including a Champneys spa break, amazing meals at numerous restaurants including the La Gavroche (which is now my absolute favourite!) and special gifts that mean so much to me.

My Fur Baby - This year we had some scares with my dogs health and it terrified me. She is my world and earlier in the year she became very poorly with pneumonia and then cushings disease.  I am so so thankful that she got through it and it really makes you realise what is is important in your life - the people and animals you love and cherish.

Hobbies - This year I spent a lot of time just enjoying the hobbies I love.  I had the opportunity to read a few books, which I really enjoy as it allows me to escape to new worlds. 

I also spent a lot of time making special gifts for friends and family using crochet. This is something my mum taught me when I was little and in recent years I've gone back to time and time again. This year though, I took it far more seriously and I made several big cosy blankets, some cute teddies and snuggly accessories such as hats and scarves.

Although I've loved doing more of the above there has been a big gap this year and that is blogging. I've missed it so much but I haven't felt ready to dive back in to my health being so up and down and the dedication it needs. It feels so good to finally be back!

My Health - I've touched upon it a little already but my health has been a big thing this year.  Some years ago I was diagnosed with IBS but had never been tested to rule out anything else so this year I was adamant that needed to happen so I could have peace of mind it wasn't anything more serious.  I had various tests done and am pleased to say I got the all clear for everything, so it is IBS I suffer from as well as food intolerances to all dairy (can never have) and Gluten (I can have occasionally)

I've also had numerous throat infections and was finally sent to see a specialist to get it checked out.  I'm now on the waiting list for my tonsils to be removed, however, all this could actually be linked to the food tolerances above.... which since cutting out diary touch wood I haven't had any more infections. Fingers crossed it stays that way!

Lifestyle | The Best Workout Gear to Get You Motivated for 2018

Looking to start 2018 with a new fitness regime? Why not start with a new gym wardrobe to help get you motivated?  There's nothing like buying something new and looking forward to wearing it so if you plan on hitting the gym in the next few weeks or to get out those running shoes here is the perfect excuse to splurge on something new.

I've been on the look out for the cutest pieces that will not only keep you looking good but also have you feeling confident to tackle those squats so you are top of the class.

1. Souluxe Sports Gilet | £12.00 // Matalan

Okay, so a Gilet isn't a gym essential but it's an alternative to taking a coat with you when you want to keep cosy travelling to and from the gym.  This one from Matalan is a total bargain and the colour is gorgeous!

2. Nike Downshifter 7 black running shoes | £45.00 // JD Sports

Whether it's a 5k or full marathon it's important you invest in good running shoes that provide plenty of comfort and support. Nike running shoes have never failed me in the past and this simple black and white design is classic and versatile.

3. Power 7/8 Mesh Leggings | £98.00 // Sweaty Betty

Mesh and panels in clothing is a big fashion trend at the moment and by the looks of things it is going to continue in 2018.  These power leggings in burgundy are a little different from your average black but not to jazzy so if you aren't a fan of prints these may still appeal. 

4. Black All Sport Backpack | £85.00 // Sweaty Betty 

I absolutely love this backpack from Sweaty Betty. The unique shape is unusual and gives you plenty of room to keep all your exercise essentials, including a dedicated space for you water bottle so it doesn't leak.  The rose gold detailing is cute and totally on trend at the moment so not only is this bag practical but fashionable too.

This backpack is even big enough to double up as an overnight bag or casual bag as you can fit a 15" laptop inside and more. Even though there are cheaper on the market I think it's worth every penny, I purchased one of these a couple of months ago and love it. It's super comfy to wear too!

Available in a gorgeous burgundy tone too if you fancy something different to black!

5. HeatGear Colour Block Printed Ankle Leggings | £50.00 // Under Amour

These skin tight leggings have a fun design which incorporates splashes of pink on the lower leg. The material is tight fitting to provide comfort and support.  It also allows for good movement in any direction thanks to the 4-way stretch construction.  

6. Sports Top | £12.00 // H&M

Looking for a cute, simple top to team with your leggings or shorts? This t-shirt is perfect. Available in charcoal grey, mint green and baby pink this casual, lose fitting top is perfect for those who don't like tight clinging gym clothes.

7. Mollie Fit Melange Strappy Sports Bra | £12.00 // BooHoo

A must have for working out is a sports bra and this simple grey one from BooHoo with it's white trim is super cute.  It's versatile colour means it will be suitable to wear under an assortment of different colour tops plus as the straps are narrow it will suit a variety of styles.

Available in dress sizes, it makes it easier to buy the correct size as I often find the bra type sizing on sports bra's are so different to normal bra's it takes forever to choose the correct one.

8. UA Mirror Cross-back Tank Top | £45.00 // Under Amour

I really love this slim line tank top. The colour is stunning and the style flattering and unusual yet supportive. The touch of black at the waist line gives the illusion of a slimmer waist and the cross over racer back design adds gorgeous detailing to keep you feeling confident and fashionable.

Re-Launching My Blog - Why I had to take a break from Blogging and You Tube

Hello Everyone!

Those of you who may have come across Kimberley's Beauty Blog before may have noticed I haven't been posting for a while.  There are a few reasons for this that primarily it was down to my health.

Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with Glandular Fever which causes extreme exhaustion. This wasn't long after getting engaged so as well as wedding planning, having a full time job and blogging I was now poorly  I just couldn't keep up with everything and couldn't risk getting more poorly so something had to give and sadly it had to be my blog. I was devastated because i'd worked so hard to create a brand for myself and to lose that so quickly was heart breaking.

I'd originally planned to only have a break for a few weeks but I had further issues with my health, nothing serious but it meant I just wasn't up to blogging again.  It took months to finally find out it was caused by an allergic reaction and when I finally started to feel a bit better I started to get one throat infection after another, caused by being run down, stressed and food intolerances.

Eventually, from July this year my health has been far better and i've been feeling back to my old self which means I can start blogging and you tube again. This makes me very happy as I have missed it so much!

So what is planned for the future of Kimberley's Beauty Blog?

• I aim to post twice weekly, most probably Tuesdays and Friday's to start with.
• I want to get back into filming You Tube videos and will try to upload once a week. This is likely to be Sundays.
• I'm thinking about re-branding but haven't quite decided if I should do this yet... what are you thoughts?
• My content will be much the same as before, I still love all things beauty, fashion and lifestyle. I absolutely adored wedding planning too so expect the odd wedding related post popping up too.
• I'm still on social media so come and say hi! My Twitter and Instagram accounts are @KimberleyJ77

Lifestyle | Cuppanut Review

It's no secret I'm a big fan of coconut whether it's using coconut oil as a hair mask, drinking coconut water or purchasing products such as moistuisers and shampoo's with a coconut fragrance so when I heard a new brand of infusions called Cuppanut were due to be launched on the market last month I was very excited to try it.

This innovative product has been launched by International Superstar Gareth Gates, who first shot to fame in 2002 during the reality television series Pop Idol and has been following a very successful career ever since. As well as continuing to tour around the country performing at his own gigs he has taken lead roles in musical theatre including Joseph, Les Miserables, Legally Blonde and more recently Footloose (to name a few). Now the star has turned his hand to business and due to a combination of his healthy lifestyle and experimenting in his kitchen has come up with his new venture, Cuppanut.

Cuppanut infusions are bio degradable tea bags filled with real coconut which is mixed with a variety of different flavours. The first is 'Coconut' which is pure white in colour and smells delicious. The taste is slightly sweet, clean and full of flavour without being overpowering.  To make, you simply add water, no milk or sugar is needed.  Whenever I drink this one it reminds me of hot sunny days and holidays due to the tropical fragrance. Coconut is well known for it's health properties including, reducing cholesterol and protecting against heart disease and stroke so it is definitely something which is becoming more popular and people are starting to introduce it into their diets more and more.

The second flavour is 'Coconut and Cranberry' which is equally as tasty and looks beautiful too. When water is added to the tea bag it turns a pretty shade of pink (my fave yay!) and you can instantly smell this sweet, fruity mix.. it is divine. This is one of those drinks which is tempting to drink far too quickly because it smells so good and you risk burning your mouth but believe me it is worth the wait. 

The final infusion is 'Coconut, Ginger and Turmeric' which has a more earthy flavour and turns the water golden. Not being a fan of ginger I was a little skeptical about this one when I first tried it but I have been won over by this unusual combination of ingredients.  This warm spiced tea has a hearty flavour which I really enjoy drinking in the evening. Ginger and Turmeric is also said to possibly have anti inflammatory properties.

The packaging of the Cuppanut infusions is simple and 'natural' looking due to the use of simple brown cardboard for the boxes. I think this no fuss packaging suits the brand perfectly as these infusions are full of natural, pure, raw goodness and no artificial colourings or caffeine. They are cute, the font is modern and they would definitely jump out at me on a shelf. When I opened them up I was also surprised to see how pretty the teabags themselves look. Each flavour has its own distinct colour and I've never seen any other 'tea' products like it.. they almost look too nice to use!

The thing I love most about these teas is not only are they good for you but they taste amazing whether you have them hot or cold (they would be great in the Summer in pretty glasses, with ice and fruit e.g cranberries). The three flavours are also so different that no matter what your mood is there is a Cuppanut for you!

Cuppanut will be appearing on your highstreet in a popular retailer soon but if you can't wait that long take a look at the Cuppanut website where you can order each box of teas online (delivery is fast). Each box contains 15 teabags and are priced at £4.20 per box. You won't be disappointed!

I very much looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for Cuppanut. It has now become my 'go to' drink.

What do you think of infused teas and which Cuppanut flavour would you most want to try?

Lifestyle | Our Fairytale Wedding - Part 1

As any regular readers of my blog or Twitter followers will be aware I got married on 19th September 2015. During the months leading up to then from time to time I posted some updates on my wedding planning progress whilst trying to reveal as little of the details as possible due to family and friends reading my blog!

Now that the wedding is over I can finally reveal all the secrets as well as a full account of the day starting with some taster pictures in this blog post!  I really hope you enjoy looking at them at taking a peak at our special day. The theme was 'fairytale' but with hints of it rather than a very intense theme and everything was very traditional. Our ceremony was in a Chapel and then we moved onto a well known castle which was absolutely beautiful. I definitely felt like a princess for the day!

Keep an eye out for my future wedding related blog posts for more photo's and details.

Lifestyle | Life Update - I'm Back!

Hello Everyone! It's been a while!! I just wanted to write a little blog post on a life update as things have been very quiet on the blog/you tube front over the past few months so I wanted to let you know why and what I've been up to. I definitely plan for this post to be a kick off for my return to the blogging world as believe me I have missed it a lot! At the moment I won't be going back to blogging daily though, as I just don't have time for that at the moment boooo!

Anyway, what have I been up to over the past six months? I got married on 19th September which was the most amazing day. Once the professional photo's are ready with the copyright on it from the photographer I will share them with you along with a full account of our day. From start to finish it was definitely the dream fairytale wedding we had always wanted and it was brilliant to see everything come together and run smoothly! That is one of the reasons for my lack of blogging, in the run up to the wedding I was really struggling to juggle working full time, wedding planning and blogging so unfortunately the latter had go on the back burner for a bit. 

After going to the beautiful Barbados on our Honeymoon I had planned to pick things up again as normal but unfortunately I was poorly around a week after getting back and that continued into this year. It turns out I was allergic to a plug in air freshener but it took a long time to work that out! It was causing me chest pains, a constant sore throat and terrible cough so as you can imagine I really wasn't up to much!

During that time, early January to be exact I also got a promotion at work so I'm now officially a manager! I had actually been doing the role for two years already but it took a while for everything to be officially recognised so it's great that's finally happened.

That's all for today's short and sweet post but watch this space for some more over the coming weeks. To start with I plan on blogging around 2-3 times a week.

How have you all been?

Lifestyle | Homemade Gooey Chocolate and Caramel Recipe

We were lucky enough to be given a Kitchen Aid for one of our wedding presents which has really got me motivated to get back into baking. I find it very relaxing but haven't had time to bake in a while particularly as doing it all by hand takes a while. I've definitely made up for that in the past week, though as I've made a StrawberryVictoria Sponge, Lemon Drizzle Cake, Lemon Victoria Sponge and these delicious Chocolate Caramel Brownies. I remembered to take a photo of the latter and as we enjoyed them so much I thought I would share the recipe with my readers in case you wanted to give them a go! This recipe is adapted from the Lorraine Pascale Baking Made Easy book and it is very easy.

Ingredients

2 packs of rolo's

1 pack of chocolate chips

200g / 7 oz dark chocolate broken into squares

165g / 5 1/2 oz soft light brown sugar

165g / 5 1/2 oz butter, plus extra for greasing

3 large eggs

2 large egg yolks

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

2 tablespoons of plain flour

1 tablespoon of cocoa powder

Pinch of salt

Icing sugar, for dusting (optional)

Equipment

20cm square baking tin (or alternative is fine. I used two round sillicone ones)

Baking paper (if not using sillicone baking tin)

1 mixing bowl

Whisk (electronic or by hand)

Mixing Bowl

Microwave safe bowl

Spoons

Palate Knife

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) / Gas Mark 5 with the middle shelf ready.

2. Grease your sillicone baking tin or prepare with baking paper.

3. Measure out your ingredients

4. Place the butter and dark chocolate squares into a microwaveable safe bowl. Heat the mixture in 20 seconds bursts, making sure you mix well in between. Reduce this time as the mixture softens. It won't take long so don't be tempted to leave it in for longer, if the chocolate burns it will become bitter and grainy. Alternatively you can use a bain marie to heat the butter and chocolate but I find the microwave method easier. One the butter and chocolate mixture is combined leave it to the side.

5. Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla together in a large bowl until they begin to get light and fluffy. I use my Kitchen Aid for this but if you don't have a food mixer you can do this by hand.

6. Add half of the sugar around the edges of the mixture so you don't knock out the air and whisk.

7. Add the remaining sugar, again around the edges of the bowl and whisk until the mixture becomes stiffer.

8. Pour the chocolate into mixture around the edges of the bowl. Make sure it is not too hot or you will scramble your eggs!

9. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt and chocolate chips and stir until all the mixture is fully combined. You will find the chocolate has sunk to the bottom of the bowl.

10. Pour the mixture into your baking tin and press the rolo's into the mixture.

11. Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on how deep you have filled your tins and how gooey you want the brownies to be. The middle should be slightly gooey so if you insert a wooden skewer or fork it should not come out clean but should not be too messy with uncooked mixture either.

12. Once the brownies are down remove from the oven and leave them to cool before leaving them to cool on a wire rack and slicing them into pieces.

13. Dust with icing sugar

Don't be afraid to experiment, if you don't like the idea of caramel why not try using marshmallows, biscuits, Malteasers, Crunchie, nuts or another favourite?

What do you think of these gooey chocolate caramel brownies? Would you make them?

Lifestyle | Life Update

Hello Beauts! It's been a while so I wanted to explain what has been going on in my life lately which has caused my blog to be a little quieter than normal. Regular readers or my Twitter/Instagram followers will know that I have been busy planning my wedding which pretty much took over my life. Literally every spare moment I had was used booking, confirming or choosing things and with that combined with work I just completely ran out of time. I didn't even have five minutes to myself let alone any time to dedicate to my blog and I didn't want to rush posts as I take pride in quality photo's and info. If I'm honest I kept thinking I would have time particularly the week before the wedding as I was off work but in fact that ended up being the busiest time off all despite being super organised! Believe me I have missed it a lot and I can't wait to get back into it properly. It's been lovely to sit here this afternoon and get back into things so I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been patient and stuck by me!

The wedding planning was amazing and I enjoyed every second of it. All the hard work definitely paid off too as on 19th September 2015 my Husband (eeeek!) and I had the most amazing fairytale wedding we ever could have wished for. I had a picture in my mind of how I wanted everything and it was the spitting image.. we're so lucky the day went so perfectly and when the professional photo's come through (hopefully next week) I will write up a full account of our day and share some of the photo's with you! 

As well as getting married we have also been on a magical honeymoon to Barbados which my hubby did all the planning for. It was a complete surprise and I only found out in his speech on our wedding day where we were going! I will also be writing up a blog post and sharing some photo's from this too over the next couple of weeks.

When we got back from honeymoon we spent some time together which was lovely and also had a catch up with our families. We're back to reality on Monday though as we're back to work!

Keep an eye out for those wedding posts!

How have you all been?

Lifestyle | Saving the Pennies

I love a good bargain and now more and more deals are moving online it is becoming easier to find. This is good news for me because with a holiday, my wedding and honeymoon fast approaching I can doing with saving the pennies as much as I can whilst still getting some treats to enjoy.

My first point of call are usually coupon websites such as Couponmachine as these collate lots of deals together so you don't have to spend too much time hunting around. You need to look closely to see if the deals are available online and/or in store but there are usually a good mixture and something to meet what you're looking for.

The websites are easy to use too. After going onto the main website you can either use the search option for something specific or browse around the drill down buttons such as Flipkart and Snapdeal to see groups of deals which are on offer. All you need to do is look around until you find something you fancy.

I think I will be using these types of websites a lot over the next few weeks. I plan to get some new clothes for my holiday and honeymoon as well as some beauty bits for touch ups on my wedding day. Fingers crossed I find some good deals!

Lifestyle | 2015 Jar of Happiness

2015 is a special year for me as I'm getting married in September so my Fiance and I decided that we would create a jar of happiness. It's a really simple idea but I think it will be fun to do, make us focus on positive things plus be very exciting to look back through at the end of the year.

All you do to create a jar of happiness is to choose a container and during the year whenever something happens that makes you happy whether it be a fun evening with family or friends, something someone said, a good deed you have done you pop it on a piece of paper and place it in the jar. Then at the end of the year (don't take a sneaky peek before!) you read through all you the happy memories you experienced during the year.

It's a super cute idea that isn't time consuming at all and can be done with as many people as you like!

Will you be creating a jar of happiness?

Lifestyle | Life Update

Hello Beauties! Over the past couple of months my blog has been a little quieter than normal so I thought I would do a little life update post so you could understand why.

So, things have been really hectic. Firstly as it's coming up to the end of the year work is very busy and as I work in an industry with high pressure it's pretty stressful at the moment. I've also had to go to Portugal too.  I'm finding it impossible to do any blogging during the week or keep on top of my mails because to be quite honest I'm exhausted! Christmas break can't come quick enough. When I get in from work I pretty much just get changed, have dinner and go to bed.. sad but true!

Next I've been super busy wedding planning. I'm having a lot of fun doing it but it is definitely taking over my life! Every weekend is filled with research or appointments ad it's particularly hectic at the moment because there's quite a few things we need to be ticked off the list before Christmas, eek!

I'm also a little under the weather at the moment (again) which is no surprise seeing as there's lots of stuff doing it's rounds at the moment. So many people seem to be poorly so if you're one of them please get better soon! I'm not sure what I have.. maybe a cold or tonsillitis again.

Now that I also need to factor in Christmas even more of my time is taken up but I'm grateful that I have this hour spare to be able to update you all. I'm going to try and get into a new blogging routine and maybe post three times a week rather than every day so at least then you guys know when to pop back to read a new post! So until further notice I will aim to blog at least Monday, Wednesday and Friday and once over the weekend. I definitely plan to go back to blogging daily but I need some of the wedding preparations to ease off a little first! I hope you understand and I won't lose you as readers. I love blogging, it's a massive part of my life but at the moment I need to be reaslistic about what I can and can't do :)

What's going on in your life at the moment?
