An outfit I'm loving

I just thought I'd share my current favourite outfit with you all!

Basically its a cute little chiffon type material floral dress which is elasticated around the waist with an over sized baby pink cardigan.
Both are from primark, the dress was £10 and the cardigan was £13 I think. Either way I love them and they suite being put together in one outfit.

I'm still wearing dresses with wooly tights because I'm not brave enough to leave the house with thinner ones on yet. Wimp I know.

The sleeves are short aswell, which means I'll be able to wear this into the summer months aswell!

 A full length look at the outfit! No shoes you might notice though. I just wear plain black ballet pumps or little brown studded ballet pumps from New look.

My make-up was pretty minimal; N07 mascara, collection concealer, Clinique Matte invisible powder and mememe shimmer stack blusher. (Twp of these I spoke about in my last favourites post current favourites post and powder I last spoke about here; travel make-up bag I'm yet to speak about the blush, that'll be soon I'm sure! Look at me linking everything.)

Hope everyone's okay!

Spring has sprung

Happy Sunday to you all!
This week we've had some decent weather in Blackpool so I've been on a few walks and taken my camera with me and snapped a few shots. It amazes me that there are places which look so pretty literally at the bottom of my street, it makes me excited for the summer and spending more time outside!

I just wanted to share a few of the pictures I have taken, on here.

My week(s) in pictures

This post has got nearly 3 weeks of pictures in...well done for regularly blogging Hannah. 

Anyways I have had a super busy but super exciting few weeks!

Me being me didn't put the pictures in any sort of order, round of applause for me.

The two pictures of my dog- I've spent a lot of time at home in my spare time these past few weeks and alot of that time has been spent with my dog. The two pictures are just two of many I've taken these past few weeks but these two just make me laugh.

The two artsy nature pictures- Look at that photography work. This week the weathers been quite nice so I've gone on a few walks with my dad and the dog. Whilst out on these walks I've snapped these two pictures which I'm quite happy with(I'm going to blog a few more of the pictures I've taken soon in a post!)

The random picture of 3 letters on a page- Just after Christmas we had mock exam week at college and these were my results, they were a huge huge surprise when I got the piece of paper because I thought my exams had gone rubbish, so now its time to knuckle down and get tonnes of revision done ready for the summer exams, eeek!

The purple-y picture of a man- This is one of very few decent pictures I took at the Rizzle Kicks concert I went to a few weeks ago! Me and two friends spent the day queuing in the freezing cold but it was all worth it as we were front row and had an amazing time! If anyone gets a chance to see Rizzle Kicks you defiantly must go!

Jillian Michaels fitness DVD- If anyone has read my most recent Weight Loss Wednesday post(which is here btw... WLW post) they'll know that I'm currently loving these two DVD's and have spent the past three weeks doing the exercises on and off in an attempt to live healthier! I defiantly recommend these two if anyone who is looking for exercise DVD's!

So there we go, a mini round up of my life these past few weeks!

Yipee!

Weight Loss Wednesday

I am forever missing weeks with my weight loss Wednesdays posts recently! I'm terrible I know but life is crazy busy and sometimes things have to give for a little while...I'm sorrrrry! 

But aside from the apologies these past two weeks have been ultra motivated and I've been hitting goals left right and centre! I've taken up more exercise, wahoo for me, drank tonnes more water and even lost a pound! So altogether I'm super motivated now to carry on!

These past two weeks my motivation has come from realisation as to how close my holiday is; 14 weeks to go, eeek! I know it sounds like ages away but its really not! I read a post this week on instagram about how it takes about a month (If I remember correctly because I can't find the post now!) for you to notice changes in your own body, around 2 months for your family and close friends to notice changes and then 12 weeks for others to notice!  This just made me realise that I need to knuckle down and get living an even healthier lifestyle because it doesn't just happen over night! I've also purchased a very very pretty bikini for my holiday and at the moment don't feel confident to wear it but my goal is to be able to feel at least 70% confident in wearing it for my holiday! 

I'm also changing up how I 'diet', if that's what you call what I do. I've decided to cut carbs and increase exercise, both cardio and strength. I'm already enjoying Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD, which I've been doing on and off for about 3 weeks (As well as her Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism DVD), so I'm going to carry on doing those. I'm a huge apple product lover and always have my iphone with me and my ipad's always around when I'm at home. So I've downloaded a couple of apps to help me do some extra mini workouts and toning exercises; I've gone with an App called '7M workout' which does exactly as its name would suggest and another called 'six pack' which has loads of short set toning exercises. Plus it sends a notification to remind you to work out, which is really handy! And they're both free!

So that's what I'm going to be doing for the next 14 weeks! Well I'm going to use the next two weeks as a bit of an introduction as my mum's on holiday and wants to do it with me but as soon as she arrives home we'll be hitting the new plan hard, for 12 solid weeks before we go away! I'm super excited!!

Thanks for reading, I hope everyone's still doing well and enjoying whatever they're doing to stay healthy, leave me your links and I'll check your posts out, I love reading other peoples tips and stories!

Weight Loss Wednesday

Now then. This post will have to be half apologies and half motivational.

I must first of all apologies for the missing post last week; I was ill YET AGAIN so both had no motivation to eat well and exercise or in all honesty write a blog post. It really took all the energy out of me. But not to worry the illness has gone and healthy living is back, woo!

I'm feeling extra motivated now as well, I used these last two weeks as a little break 1-because I was ill and 2-because I wasn't at college and had a lot of things going on. Now before you all think 'that's cheating' blar blar blar, I know it is but when I'm lacking as much motivation as I was after being ill, having a little rest to regain motivation is just what I need. I still did some exercise and ate some of the right things, but I let the carbs creep back into my diet. It's harder to eat properly and fit in exercise (I find anyway) when the weeks regular timetable is taken away; like in college half term. Not having a schedule for each day which I have to stick to just makes me think being lazy is okay...which it is for a little bit. The little break and step back from a schedule helps me to realise that I need the schedule and all that comes with it to help me feel better in myself. Motivation is therefore no problem when it comes to restarting the normal schedule. 

So my advice to you all, feeling unmotivated? Take a little break, one day, two days, a week, two weeks, one meal, however long you feel is necessary to regain some motivation. You'll see just how much your body needs and wants to live healthier. Plus a little bit of what you fancy does you good! So if you fancy being lazy for a few days, go for it! 

That's just a little tip from me to you all...It always works for me! 

Hope this helped; let me know! Have a good week:-)

My week in pictures

Well this is another one of my started but never finished projects. I started off so well posting each week about what I'd been up to during the week through pictures. But I've not done this post in a long long time. So I'm going to re-start this back up, so then my blog isn't neglected quite as much! Plus I quite enjoyed the challenge of remembering to take pictures during the week, even of the most mundane of things.
(Most of the pictures I'll be posting I'll probably have posted on my Instagram as well, which is here; hannnx oooo shameless)

This week was half term so I spent a lot of time relaxing, at home and with friends.

The first picture is my dog dressed in a scarf, because I'm one of those people who finds things like that really funny...
Second is a picture of one of my favourite films which I finally purchased on DVD and then found time to watch... I really recommend 500 days of summer, even though its not everyone's cup of tea. But I like it, its a bit more of a realistic love story than all the other cliche movies.

Third is a picture from a night out on Friday. It was a fab fab fab night, although slightly too much was drank...but when you only go out around once a month, like me, I'm sure it can be excused, right?
The fourth picture is of a little note, which one of my closest and cutest friends attached to a little valentines present; Love hearts and a love hearts candle(which smells delicious!). The presents were just a bit of fun because neither of us had a valentine.  My friends are so cute.

And the final, very vain picture, was taken on the night of one of my friends dance show which all our little friendship group went to watch and support her in. The picture was originally to show the make up and outfit I was wearing, but didn't really show either very well; now its a multi-use picture I suppose.

Well, that was my week! Hope everyone had a good week, I'll probably move my week in pictures day back to a Sunday from next week. I didn't want to post this yesterday seen as I'd already blogged yesterday, look at me on a roll!
