The Lo Down - Weightloss Update #7

Hey Guys and Girls,

I can't believe this is my 7th weightloss update already, time really does fly by. I could never hav imagined my progress would be so good since I started eating that bit healthier back in January. This week was another busy week, I had something on everyday. I went swimming on Monday and to Boxercise on Thursday plus I had little errands to run every other day so I was always moving. I really believe that the extra bit of fitness classes is really helping my overall weightloss this week.

So how did I get on this week? I'm down a further 5 and a half pounds which means I'm down 1 stone 13 and a half pounds in total and half a pound off 2 stone. I'm really happy as I wanted to lose 3 pound this week and I smashed through that. I also want to reach my target of 2 stone in two months which would be unreal and that's easily achievable at this stage.

Again I've just been making simple easy choices that anyone can do. I haven't been happier in ages, I can't wait to buy some new clothes very soon. I'm heading out on Saturday with my boyfriend, Daragh for a few drinks and I'm going to see Beauty and the Beast tonight with my Mum. I always treat myself a little at the weekends but I do prefer to buy myself something nice as opposed to treating myself with food. It's a better compromise in my opinion. I'm thinking of buying the Benefit Cosmetics Cheek Parade palette, I saw it in House of Fraser during the week and it looks amazing so I'm going to treat myself soon once I have the funds of course.

My end goal is to be able to fit into smaller clothes by the Summer months, I have so many exciting things coming up so I know I can do it and I can't wait. I'm so motivated to do well at the moment and I know nothing can stop me right now. I'm really enjoying doing weightloss updates and I hope you are too. Thanks for all your support!

The Lo Down - Pretty Iconic by Sali Hughes

Hey Guys and Dolls,

So I got a really great offer in Eason this week. I bought Sali Hughes Pretty Iconic for €13.99. Yes €13.99!! It's usually €35 here in Ireland so it's pretty pricey alright so this get it at such a good price was amazing.

I was so glad I picked up this book as it's beautifully written. I already own Pretty Honest and I love it, it's a treasured part of my beauty book collection. They both look so well on my shelf. Like all beauty beauty books I love that this is separated into sections which makes for easy reading. This book looks at beauty products that have changed the world, with sections  named The Icons and The Gamechangers this book makes for a very interesting read.

I love books like this as you can pick it up, open it and start from anywhere. This is such a great read and a nice addition to my beauty book collection. I'd definitely recommend picking this up if you can while it is on special offer. At the price of €13.99, it's not to be missed.

The Lo Down - Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Charlotte Tilbury is a luxury brand that I use alot, I'm in love with their products. Everything I've used is such good quality so I know when I buy a product of theirs it's going to be good. Of course after forking out alot of money you expect it to be up to par.

The first product I tried from Charlotte Tilbury is their Wonderglow. This is such an amazing product and I really like it. My skin gets pretty dull and dehydrated sometimes and this works like a dream to combat that issue. I apply a small amount to my skin before my foundation and it gives a awakened lit from within look. A perfect base for makeup application.

Wonderglow costs €49 which may sound expensive but this is such a good product you won't regret the purchase.
