York Test

This is a bit of a different and more personal blog post today but I feel that it is something I really need to share with you guys. For a long time I have been suffering with severe stomach cramping and bloating and just generally feeling very unwell most days. I had been frustrated, upset and confused for so long trying to figure out why I was feeling the way I was. Finally after about four years if not longer I had found out the cause of why I have been so unwell for so long. The York Test is an amazing company who test you for food intolerances and after several doctors appointments which got me absolutely nowhere I decided to give it a go. I did the start test where you take blood from your finger and send it off and they can test whether you are intolerant to anything. After you find out if it is positive or negative you then do the food and drink test where they send your bloods off and see what it is that your body is reacting to. It turned out that I have intolerances to cows milk, goats milk, yeast and egg white. These have all been a major part of my diet since forever. I had no idea that I could have been intolerant to any of them. The York Test are so helpful as once you find out what it is you are intolerant to you can have a phone call with a nutritionist who will help you to plan your diet and how to cut out these foods as well as supplying you with a food diary and intolerance guide. 

If you are suffering from pains in your stomach, bloating or feeling unwell and you haven't checked if you have any intolerances, I would definitely recommend this for you! It really is going to change my life for the better and get me back to who I was before all of this. 

The food and drink test is quite expensive but it is honestly so worth it and there is nothing more important than your health and happiness.

I'm sorry for the long post but this is something that I am really passionate about because I honestly feel so much better in myself now that I know what it was causing me to feel the way I was.

This is the link to the York Test website- here.

These are the two tests that I did. First purchase the one below and then go from there once you have found out if you are positive or negative.

You can find this here and it is only £24.99.

And this is the second one which you can find here.

They send you this afterwards to show you exactly what you are intolerant to and what you are fine to have.

I hope that this post helps anyone who is suffering with any of the symptoms I have described.

Lots of love,

Halloween!!

Halloween is nearly here!! What are you all going as? I have seen so many cool makeup ideas this year and so I thought I would share some of my favourites with you. I cannot believe how talented some people are it is so inspiring.

I always look on Pinterest for makeup looks because there are so many amazing ones on there. These are my absolute favourites that I have found but there are sooo many more that are just as incredible but I just couldn't post them all. I hope this has given you some halloween inspo and I am going to try and recreate one of these looks myself.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Thank you for reading! Let me know your Halloween plans.

Lots of love,

Autumn is here pt. 2

Following on from my previous post I thought I would keep the theme of Autumn going. While i'm currently searching for a job, my online shopping addiction has seemed to have expanded quite a lot... which makes no sense as I am currently making no money.. but there we go!

On this post I am going to focus on trousers, tops and hoodies that I have found, which I think are perfect for this season.

All of the clothing is from Pretty Little Thing.

And they have 30% off on their new season hit list!

I am in love with these pin stripe casual trousers they look so stylish and comfy and come in 5 other styles. 

I am absolutely in love with this khaki tie waist oversized t shirt dress, which also comes in 5 different colours/styles. It would go perfectly with a cute pair of boots shown on the model or a pair of knee high boots. Or if you want to dress it down you can wear it with a pair of vans. 

This black and white striped t-shirt is also to die for! It is so basic but can be paired with so many different things like a black pair of jeans and trainers or a black leather skirt, tights and boots. 

This cropped hoodie is so cute, paired with a pair of grey tracksuit bottoms and a pair of trainers and your good to go for those days where you are wanting to chill out. 

I love a cosy cardigan and this is just perfect for those colder days. 

This is my ultimate fave! I love this cardigan it is so trendy and chic and can be dressed up or down. It is a must have in your wardrobe this season. It is also available in 3 other colours.

This two piece pink tracksuit is soo comfy and chilled. I bought one last year and still live in it now. It super affordable and one of my favourite lounge sets so far. Also available in 5 other colours.

Autumn is here

I am sorry that I haven't posted for a while but I have been super busy job searching and had a lot of things going on. But from now on I will make sure that I post more regularly.

Autumn is one of my favourite times of year. I love being wrapped up in cosy jumpers and coats and getting all snug watching movies with blankets and hot chocolates! I have been searching for coats ready for these colder days and nights and these are my favourites so far. I have ranged between some that are more expensive and some that are affordable. I will link all of the products at the end of this post.

This red faux fur sherpa coat is perfect for the autumn season. The colour is so bold and gorgeous and the length is perfect for wanting to wear a cute evening dress underneath or to wear with trousers. This one is from House of CB.

I absolutely love this blue puffer jacket from Missguided. It is so chic and the electric blue colour is to die for. It is affordable, comfy and would be perfect for those colder days where you still want to look fashionable but be warm! It is also available in orange and red.

This pistachio coloured faux fur coat is everything! It is so stylish and versatile. You can wear it with a dress, jeans, skirt and top! This Topshop jacket is perfect for this autumn season. It is also available in pink and blue which are both incredible.

This Asos teddy coat is amazing. I love the colour, length and style of it. It is definitely a must to add to your wardrobe when the temperature outside is dipping. They have minimal sizes left but more should be coming in stock soon and there is a similar one here.
