Sorry for the silence!

Sorry for the silence over the past month or so peeps! My laptop broke, I went on holiday and I am starting another course of hospital treatment ready for a possible operation in the new year.

So just some general life updates:
- I went to see my favourite Eurovision winner, Ruslana, in concert in Manchester 2 weekends ago. She was such an amazing person to meet and see live. I actually saw her live twice in the same weekend, so that is definately an experience I will not forget in a hurry.
- I became really sick because I had a terrible allergic reaction to my new medication. All my face and lips were swollen. I almost did not make it to Manchester for this reason, I managed to defy the odds and make it, and I am very glad I did
- I got a package from I love which included some of their newer products. This will be coming in a blog and hopefully a youtube post.
- Finally, after months of waiting, I managed to get myself a new laptop. Only cost me 299.99. I did not fancy paying the price for a MAC as there are other things I want to do with my money.
- I have become more and more interested in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, this was all down to my meeting with Ruslana.
- I had MANY hospital appointments all for different things. I have loads more coming up, so watch this space to see how they turn out.

So sorry for the silence peeps, ill be back on my blogging and youtubing game from this week.

Bodytalk with Pixiwoo

I have been binge watching a lot of Pixiwoo videos lately, having been ill, its given me more time to watch video and look at new things. I knew Pixiwoo were Jim Chapman's sisters, I already watch Jim Chapman anyway, but I thought I would watch these guys too, and I am so glad I did. I never wore or experimented with make up before my health declined, but now I am on the up, I am starting to be more adventurous and it is down to these guys. Having watched a lot of their Bodytalk series in the run up to my last hospital visit, I came across one they did with Katie Piper, and it is the best thing I have seen in ages. Having watched this, and seen the direction Katie has taken her life in, it has made me think that my past and my declining health shouldn't hold me back, that is partially what made me think about the idea of doing make up as a side hobby while I am recovering.

Another Pixiwoo video I enjoyed watching was Sam's video talking about Anxiety. Until I watched this, I always thought I was clear of anxiety, but it proves I am not. Having heard Sam talk about it the way she did it made me think a lot harder about my anxiety, in some ways I can't prevent it but in some ways I can. It is right what Nic said in that video that we all feel pressured in today's society to almost be perfect, but as Sam rightly proved, that is not the case. I took to youtube to do my own Anxiety video (With some crap editing) but I think if I had not of come Across Sam's video about it, I would never of had the courage to do my own, and now I have done it, I can feel better because I know what situations make me feel anxious, some can be avoided and some can't. I am not perfect, nor am I trying to be, I just want people to know that it is ok to be anxious.

Beauty: Lush Think pink Bath bomb


WOW! This has to be one of the best bath bombs ive used from Lush. Was not as expensive as a lot of them. I would use with the bubble bar that smells like candy floss. These 2 are a perfect pair. I come out smelling really nice. I also use this with a few other lush products, all of which work together.

Music: Ruslana sings Wild Dances in Romanian

WOW! WOW! WOW! I did not expect this when Ruslana performed at the Romanian National Selection on Craiova on the 8th March, which saw Voltaj win the vote to represent Romania at the 2015 Eurovision song Contest in Romania.

As always Ruslana was the star of the show, having recently been hospitalized for Pneumonia previous to this event, I think she performed with more energy then she ever had before.

Ruslana sings Wild Dances in Romanian

The lyrics for her most famous sing, the Eurovision winning 'Wild Dances' were translated by a fan, and a fan I have pleasure of talking too on facebook, Alexandru Busa. He told me he was very proud to see Ruslana perform her most famous song in his home country. I am full of praise for both of them. Alexandru because he took the time to translate the lyrics, and Ruslana because she sung the translation pitch perfect, accent perfect, and just perfect all around, and with so much passion.

I for one am proud that Ruslana is attempting to sing her most famous song in multiple languages, other then the Ukrainian and English versions that most of her songs come in.

I am so proud of Ruslana over comming the obstacles of Maidan and Pneumonia to perform on the Romanian stage, I was proud to watch as a fan all the way from England.

Health and Beauty: Zuzka Natural Beauty

I was really excited when I got this through the post. I love the look of the silver bottle and the pink sticker with the company name on is really eye catching.

Zuzka are all about natural and organic products, which is what I am looking for to see if they really do help my horrible skin type.

I got the botanicals argenine hydroxy concentrated serum. It was a lot thinner then I would asume a serum to be, but dont let that fool you. It was really nice on my skin, didn't cling to it like most other products do. It was making my skin a little warm, but most face products do that to me. I had almost 3 weeks use out of it, as I would use it after I have thoroughly washed my skin. This is meant to be used in conjunction with another Zuzka product called Argentine Hydroxy Rejuvinating day cream, but I found the serum pleasurable to use on its own.

I really liked the smell, did not smell artifical in anyway.

If I had the money I would definitely purchase any other Zuzka product again.

Bloggers hub: The Beauty mask

I thought I would give the mask a go because I have a lot of skin problems. It almost has got rid of the skin problems I had.

I made sure I washed my face and dried it thoroughly before using this mask,and that did make a whole load of difference.

I only had to wear the mask for 20 minutes when I used it. I had the herbal rejuvenation mask. It certainly rejuvenated my skin. Any other skin mask I have used in the past has made my skin really warm, but this was fantastic. My skin feels a lot better.

I would certainly recommend this one to anyone thinking of trying the beauty masks. I will certainly be buying some more in the future.
