New In: GOSH Make-up

Eeerrmmaaagooodddd (that's my excited noise!)

How amazing is this palette? My best friends momma got it for me for Christmas and I don't want to use it because its so pretty!

I have some other eye shadows from GOSH and they are some of my favourites. They are very blendable, smooth and super pigmented. This palette has so many colours, but all are very useable in my opinion and I can't wait to finally start using them.. . I'll let you know how I get on and maybe do a FOTD post with it.

#bbloggersWLW

Hi ladies,

Back again with another WLW post, how are you all doing this week?

I know I said last week that I would be doing a food diary but to be honest, I just didn't have time this week but I do have a recipe for you to try out (see below)

This week was great, I started running with my sister, walked our puppy Ecko a lot, and even went to my first zumba class with my best friend. Zumba was my favourite, it was so funny, and we worked up a proper sweat! We loved it so much we're going back this week, and I'm taking my first boxcercise class tonight! Excercise overload much?

This week I have been taken inspiration from you guys, you're posts helped a lot this week. As did ideas of other bloggers, Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter been one with her ongoing hashtag #glittergetsfitter on Twitter and Instagram - are any of you on instagram? I'm at natashaswonderland - follow me :)

Another blogger that's been doing great stuff this week is Gemma of gemsmaquillage, with her insta updates on healthyhappygemma and her food diaries there has been a lot of healthy inspiration going on this week!

I also haven't had a fizzy drink in 6 days and counting, coming from a self confessed diet coke addict this is a big deal! Can't wait to read all your posts :)

Honey Chicken

I love honey chicken but wanted to make a healthier option as apposed to what I normally get from a Chinese place so here we go!

You will need:

Plain chicken fillets

Honey

Light soy sauce

Chili

Salt & Pepper

Step 1: Chop up your chicken fillets into strips and marinate with 2 teaspoons of honey, and 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, and some salt & pepper to season.

Step 2: Pick some veggies, whichever you personally prefer - I like sweet peppers, mushrooms, chickpeas and red onion. Chop finely and fry them on the pan with a little water (instead of oil) to soften to your liking.

Step 3: Put marinated chicken onto another pan and cook until done (obviously....) add water to the pan if you feel its getting to sticky for it, works a wonder over oil.

Step 4: Decide if you want rice, pasta or sweet potatoe to go with it, and prepare accordingly. I like rice the best, I usually just stick to boil in the bag because honestly, I can't cook it otherwise.

Serve up and enjoy!

I love this dish, it's quick and easy and SO tasty!

Bare in mind, I am not a chef and this is just an experiment that happened to work out so feel free to tweek and change it to your own liking. If  you do, let me know :)

Brand Focus: Mallzee

* Before I write this post, this is not a sponsored post, all opinions are my own*

A few months back, I wrote a post on a new app called Mallzee. Since then, the brand have updated and revamped the app, and been realistic, it's still as fab as ever. Pulling together two million items of clothing from over 200 top retailers, the app then tailors the selection to the pieces best suited to the individual user It's literally like having a personal shopping on your pocket. I thought I'd let you little wonders know about it, because I've been having a lot of fun over Christmas with it.

There's so many different stores after getting involved, it's worth a look in, ASOS. Miss Selfridge, Urban Outfitters etc. It's also free which is great because personally, I hate paying for apps, it really annoys me.

If that doesn't convince you to look into it, this will, it's good enough for Leanne Woodfull, it's good enough for you.... Happy shopping guys!

#BloggersWLW

So, I seen a tweet from the lovely Jennifer on Twitter looking for bloggers to get together to take part in #BloggersWLW, and decided YES, I want to do this. It's all Jennifer's idea so I'm going to link her post here so you can read it for yourself and get involved if you want.

Today is my first #WLW post, and today I'm going back to Slimming World after a naughty 3 weeks off over the Christmas period. I'm super excited and super terrified all at the same time, but hey ho, I enjoyed Christmas but now I'm excited to get back into the swing of thing's.

As this is m first post I'm kind of unsure what to talk about, but I am really excited to start experimenting with food, and cooking lots of different thing's and for my post next week I'm going to document a kind of food diary so maybe you guy's can get some idea's. Every week I'm also going to keep you updated on how I'm feeling, any tips of picked up or any recipes I've learned along the way. 

Make sure you go over and read Jennifer's post so you can get all the details and meet all the other lovely bloggers that are getting involved!!

Seventeen Phoarr Paint

I wasn't joking when I said I was taking thing's in Wonderland more seriously in 2014. Hiiiiii - today I'm back with a review of a product I have been loving in 2013, and continue to do so in 2014 and that is the 17 Phowarr paint concealer. Is that not the coolest name ever by the way? I always laugh when I say it!

Anyway, I think 17 have really been stepping it up lately, a few other of my favourite products of theirs are their lipsticks and there all dolled up mascara (currently on offer for a fiver in boots!) but I shall discuss those in good time my loves.

My shade is in fair, and it matches my skin tone so well, I was super impressed when I first used it. I love the little pot it comes in too, it makes it really compact and the mirror makes it easy to travel with in case you need to touch up during the day. The consistency itself is something I really like too, its thick without been cakey and doesn't crease under the eye, which is fabulous considering the dark circles I'm prone to getting. Although my skin is fairly okay and I don't get too many spots it has helped when the odd little daemon attacks my poor face!

At under 10 euros I really do believe that this is work picking up and trying it out!

Sunday Pampering

Just after my birthday this year I accidentally gave up blogging. I didn't mean too, it kind of just happened? Well, life happened. A lot was going on in my personal life as well as the added pressure of a new job. A job which I love none the less, but it took up a lot of my time. I still have my job but I feel a lot more balanced in my life at the minute and I miss blogging, and the community that goes with it. One of my news years resolutions was to take my blog more seriously and actually write! So, I'm starting off with something nice and relaxing... literally.

As it's Sunday (the last day of the weekend boo!) I feel that a little pampering is in order. I gathered my products of choice and just chilled out! Here's what made the cut -

Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner - Oh my day's, I am in love with this stuff. I've never been loyal to a shampoo or conditioner before, but I picked this up last week in town and honestly it is faaaaaabulous.

Argain Oil Heat Defensive - This is a counterpart of the above, but none the less, I'm really liking it. It's lightweight, serves its purpose and smells divine.

Boots Coconut Spray In Conditioner - It's nothing mind blowing, just something I always spray into my hair every time I wash it. I feel it protects my hair just a little bit more, and the scent is divine. An absolute bargain at €1.99!

Ozzy 3 minute miracle treatment - I gave this a go for the first time today, so watch this space!

Sugar Crush body scrub - A Soap & Glory classic, I love this stuff. I know the scent can be a bit much for some people, but personally, I love it. Fresh, fruity, zesty ahhh. What more could you want?

Sugar Crush body butter - Applying this after a big bubble bath or a long shower is just lovely. It's thick and creamy, and gives so much moisture into my skin. It also helps the scent from the scrub last on my skin, and seeing as I love the scent this is obviously a good thing!

Body Oil - A quick spray, and my skin is lovely and smooth!

Now along with all these products there are of course some added thing's that helps make a great lazy Sunday! This part of the post will alter depending on your personal choice but here's my list.....

• Scented candles.. I'm currently burning Yankee Candle Vanilla & Lime, heavenly!
• The new episode of the Carrie Diaries... obviously.
• Some blog reading... Catching up with Vivanna & Alix this afternoon.
• Onsie. Currently sporting a grey Mickey Mouse one. 

So that's it my loves! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year! Here's to 2014!

VIPXO Inspired

Victoria posted about these watches the other day, aren't they gorgeous?

Well I actually spotted these on eBay back in late November, early December and snapped one up for around €2.33, bargain much? However, I kind of forgot about it and it went into my jewellery box along with everything else I should wear but I don't.... but since Victoria's post I pulled it back out and it hasn't left my wrist since.

I think its very simple, yet nearly boho inspired? and it's different, there's not a lot of thing's floating around with world maps on them, so it's really eye catching without been over powering. I love it. 

What do you guys think?
