First Vlog

Hello everyone, I thought I'd do a vlog about my make up bag. It's pretty cringe worthy but I thought I'd upload it anyway!
Basically it's just me talking through my make up bag, what I love/hate and a general ramble. Be gentle with me on the comment front!
Hope you've all had a lovely Sunday!

Topshop Adrenalin Nail Polish

I recently purchased this gorgeous nail polish from topshop after seeing it on instagram. I was immediately dazzled by all the sparkles (My instagram name is @ellienoodles)
I am obsessed with this product, it's a pink glitter polish with two types of glitter in it, it looks very pretty on fingers and toes. I think I'll be wearing this on my toes for the foreseeable future.
At £6 it doesn't break the bank but it is a real treat for me! I wish I could wear it everyday, I feel like this nail polish could make any day better.

Enjoying Food

1. A magnum from the petrol station. It was a bit melty but it was nice all the same.
2. Healthy snack, pink grapefruit rocks my world. I love it so. 
3. Leon lunch from today with sexy baked fries which did NOT taste baked. I've been lied to and I love it. 
4. The best food in the whole entire world, Sara's Garden Cheesecake. I die thinking about this cheesecake, this would be my last supper of choice. 
5. Peach iced tea which I hated so I made James swap with me and I had his raspberry one, which was really nice. Sorry James, you're a babe for being such a good fiance to me. 
6. Nando's, I had yesterday...I get addicted to stuff easily. I could eat nando's every single day. Easily. 
7. Mocha light at Starbucks with Mumma, I wanted a chocolate cream with extra cream but I settled for this delicious concoction. 

Loving Yourself

I know this isn't what I usually blog about but I think it's important to address this issue as it seems to be  one that is in the forefront of most women's minds. I've been looking on tumblr/pinterest/twitter recently and there seems to be a lot of mixed messages about body image, health, fitness and losing weight.

I just find this upsetting as a lot of these girls are punishing themselves with diet and exercise to look a certain way which may not even be achievable for them. We're so heavily influenced by the media, especially photoshopped images that we expect our bodies to be perfect. Has anyone thought that it's okay for girls to look like normal girls rather than models? Who doesn't enjoy a treat after a long day at work or dessert when having a meal out. Why should we be made to feel guilty about loving and truly enjoying food?

Has anyone stopped and thought that each individual person should be able to decide what is a healthy version of themselves, if that includes a few extra pounds or a roll of fat that's healthy too. What's unhealthy is obsessing over how you look and forgetting to live your life, we've all been guilty of doing this I'm sure, I certainly have.

Girls (and guys), stop focusing on how you look and start enjoying the little things in life! If eating a slice of cake makes you happy, do it! If eating an apple makes you happy, do it. Do what you want to do, not what some image on the internet with a witty phrase like "french fries or skinny thighs" says to do. If you want fries eat them! Equally if you don't want to eat fries, don't!

Don't try and be anyone else but you, because I can say without even seeing you that you are beautiful and there is much more to you as a person than how you look or your clothing size. Don't define yourself by a number or compare yourself to other girls. You need to love you and your body just the way you are. If you want to get healthy, go for it. But don't forget to be proud of yourself now.

Getting To Grips With Make Up

After being a girl for 20 long years I seem to have finally found some make up I can get to grips with!! I've always been a tinted moisturiser girl but now I've seen the foundation light!!

Too Faced make the best foundation I've ever tried! I am obsessed and my bank balance is suffering!
I'm wearing the shade vanilla in the picture; the liquid foundation, powder and concealer! Which are all amazing!!

Now I'm off to drink tea and eat cake!

Sleepover Fun

I had a sleepover/feast with a very good friend last night! Pink wine and far too much food! I had so much fun!! We watched Bridesmaids and Pretty Woman and laughed a hell of a lot. We also got very full of food, can you tell?!
It was so nice to do something mid week, breaks up the working week! I also don't have wine head this morning which is always a plus. On a side note, I need to go back to the gym!!

Food glorious food!

Here are a few of my yummy eats from the past few weeks!!
