Nutri Advanced Probiotics



I started 2015 with a list of new years resolutions and health goals, one of which was to take better care of my body on the inside and out. While I've always been relatively healthy and like to think I eat a balanced diet and get enough exercise, like most people I often fall off the wagon and find myself feeling sluggish and unmotivated, and it can be hard to get back on track. 

I was contacted by Nutri Advanced, one of Europe’s largest suppliers of health food supplements, who advised me about the benefits of nutritional supplements and how they can improve health and wellbeing.





I opted for the GiSol Probiotic Capsules which claim to promote healthy digestion by balancing flora in the gut and supporting the digestive process. Studies have shown that including probiotics in your daily diet can significantly improve gut health by increasing the levels of 'good' bacteria in your body.

I have been taking the supplements for two weeks and while there have been no major changes, I have noticed a slight improvement such as a flatter stomach and improved digestion. I plan to take them for at least one month before expecting to see a noticeable difference, however with the scientific evidence backing the benefits of probiotics they are definitely something I am keen to continue.


Nutri's nutritionists advise: “Most people should notice an improvement in gut symptoms after taking GiSol for 2 weeks, although the time it takes to rebalance gut flora varies from person to person. Most feel a difference in 2 weeks but we’d suggest staying on the product for at least 4 weeks in total.”

Have you tried probiotics before? What were your experiences?

Girls night out




What girl doesn't love a fun night out with her best friends? 

Music, makeup, drinks and dancing are all essential ingredients for a great night out, but every girl knows the best part of the evening is getting ready.

Sometimes finding that perfect outfit that makes you look and feel gorgeous can be a challenge - and what should seemingly be an enjoyable task becomes so stressful. 

Ever feel like you have a wardrobe full of clothes and still have nothing to wear? Me too!

That's when you know it's time to grab your girlfriends and hit the shops...



Beautysets - Girls night out


Dress - Clutch - Lipstick - Lashes - Bracelet - Shoes


My favourite look for a night out is a chic LBD teamed with some killer heels and lots of hot accessories.

This DailyLook Scuba dress is perfect for those summer nights out and evening cocktails in the city.  

The best thing about a little black dress is it goes with anything - so the colours for the rest of your outfit are completely up to you!

I love to team black with nude pink as for me they make the perfect pair and are great for summer. Pretty accessories give the outfit a touch of sparkle and a hot pink lip adds that extra bit of evening glamour.


How do you like to dress up an LBD? Do you have a favourite outfit for a girls night out?

Spring makeup edit



The new season is the perfect time for a spring clean and what better place to start than with your makeup?

The warmer weather and longer days welcome a light, dewy complexion with slightly flushed cheeks and barely-there eyes. Think no-makeup makeup. My favourite.

Just as pretty pastels and candy colours are the key inspiration for your spring/summer wardrobe, they should also be a motivation for your makeup bag.

Here's some of the best beauty products you need this season...

March


Another month has zoomed by and spring is officially here! 

Candy colours, baby lambs, Easter eggs, daffodils and sunny spring weather.

The evenings are getting lighter and the weather is slightly warmer - although I am bracing myself for the dreaded April showers which are definitely the down side of spring. This month I have enjoyed visits from family and friends, a few dinner/coffee dates and plenty of browsing the new spring collections which has left me anticipating my next payday so I can purchase a few new pieces!

I'm looking forward to travelling back home for Easter to spend a few days with family and friends, hopefully relax and of course overdose on delicious Easter egg goodness! 
*Queue the post Easter detox!*

What have you been upto this month? Any exciting plans for Easter?
