Dragon Boating (Racing)

For all my sin's I have join 15 Ladies from my company to compete in a local Dragon Boat Race for charity.
 
I didn't realise how painful this sport would be and how much my body would ache. My whole body aches after our training sessions and it takes my muscles a few days to get over it.
 
This is a photo on the day we started training (look how happy we look)
 
 
 
We have had 4 training session's on a Monday evening which we really worked hard at we even had a mini competition between the men and women. (Which a lot of us were against) we knew the men would win as they have a lot more power then us just no rhythm or timing!
 
RACE DAY


So today is the day!!  race day... I am so nervous a lot of pride is a steak and boasting opportunities. The ladies are in Baby Pink T-Shirts and the men in Baby Blue.
The atmosphere is good a lot of people have turned out to watch and cheer on their friends and family.

Review - Witch Naturally Clear Blemish Stick

Today I am doing a little review on one of my favourite products of the moment.
 
 Witch Naturally Clear Blemish Stick
 
 
This is a little miracle product. It helps break down excess oils and fights the bacteria which causes spots / blemishes and redness
 
It comes in a stick form and is a pale blue colour, it is in a small, compact packaging which I find perfect for throwing into my handbag. The packaging is cute and a lovely pale blue colour so can't be mistaken for a lipstick or concealer.
 
For your money spent you get 10g of the product (retails at £2.09 from Boots)
 
 
To use this, you simply rub it on the affected area and it melts on to your skin. It doesn't leave a sticky film like most do. It smells refreshing and is cool when placed on the skin.
 
I 100% agree with Witch when they say it immediately gets to work.
As soon as I apply this to the area in question I can feel it tingling and within 4 hours the spot/redness has noticeably been reduced.
 
 
* Please be warned if applied to a freshly popped spot it will sting ..... A LOT *
 
I would recommend this to anyone with spot prone skin, or acne. My confidence has rocketed since using this product
 
I would go as far to say it is my little life saver

Review MAC False Lash Mascara

I have been looking for a good mascara for an age. This mascara is perfect for me, it washes off really easily, doesn't clump at all and only one coat is needed to define, lengthen and give volume to the lashes.
 

 
I love the shape of the brush for this as well as it is easy to hold and I don't worry about the fact I might drop it.
 
The brush on this is awesome and is one length all the way down, and makes for an easy application it thickens, lengthens and defines my lashes so they almost look like I have false ones on.
 
 
With this mascara I'm always confident that after an 8 hour day it won't be spotted (smugged) underneath my eyes.
 
 
All in all this mascara is one of my must haves at the moment

Love

Motivational Monday #6

 

I adore this post a lot of people call me ugly and I find it amusing when they do now I tend to try and brush it under the carpet and not take it on bored but sometimes it gets depressing.
Being told your not pretty and maybe you should try make up can really hurt someone's feelings and it's patetic little people who usually are behind this.
 
I deleted my original twitter account due to vile people being horrible about the way I looked but I have created a new one (yeahy go me)
 
I have decided also to live by this post BEAUTY ISN'T MAKE UP.
 
Everyone has their own personal beauty not always how they look but there personality, their kindness to others people show beauty in so many different ways.
 
Please don't ever be one of those people who calls someone Ugly
 
Love Laura
