So on to my first order that come today, on Friday I received an email to say it was national donut day and if you ordered anything on the website they would give you a "I donut care" plain paged notebook. To be eligible for this i fell in love with the most amazing socks on there, they are Leonardo decaprio socks and anyone that knows me well will know how much I love Leo 😍. 

Here is a picture of my order

They are the most amazing socks ever and they are made so they super comfy. The note book is coming really handy for planning my blog and keeping track of PR companies who I have contacted.

Hospital day 4

Yes I'm still here haha, hopefully been moved to a quieter ward or a ward without shouting later, it's so loud but on the plus side I've got a chance to order my subscription boxes (check out my other post) and contact loads of companies for different review products so far I've had quiet a few yes emails back and I know some companies send products straight out with out replying. 

I've managed to update my Facebook page but need to change it slightly when I get on my laptop. I've found an awesome blog that tells you about loads of different beauty boxes etc. 

It's called which beauty box uk 

The link is 

http://whichbeautyboxuk.com 

Check it out it's brilliant at giving reviews before you subscribe.

Managed to get in contact with a few other YouTubers also which is great.

Thank you for reading

New beauty box subscriptions

Sorry me annoying you lot again,

This afternoon I've subscribed to a few new subscription beauboxes including the GlowwBox

This is predominantly for girls with darker skin tones but I thought I would give it a try as it was £2 for the first box plus £3.95 for P+P using the promotional code SQUADLOVE

I'm looking forward to reviewing this box in the near coming future, the review will be up on this blog when it arrives 

Here is my referral link so check it out 

https://glowwbox.cratejoy.com/refer/Laure-LRLUFOCX

The second beauty box I have subscribed to is 

Glossybox 

My referral link for this on is 

https://www.glossybox.co.uk/referal?CI=MzM0MDA4

I paid £13.25 for this box and I am so so excited about receiving this in the post. 

The next subscription is Birchbox 

I paid £12.95 for this one. I will probably end up deleting each subscription after the first box if I don't enjoy them.

I have also subscribed to degustabox again for £4.99 instead of £12.99 so once that arrives at the end of the month the it shall go up also!

Thank you for reading again

Hospital blog day 3

Hello ladies and gents 

I'm back again with another blog, still in hospital 😩😩 and on day 3 now. 

I feel absolutely sick, I've been poked,prodded  and needles poked into me far to much. I know it's for my own good but it's making me feel worse if I'm honest! 

So today I've just laid in bed if I'm honest. I went out to the shower this morning. But nearly collapsed so been in bed since. I'm feeling so so I'll. My back and my tummy are hurting so much I just want to get better. 😔😔 

Right now I just want my boyfriend here for a cuddle. He makes everything better.

I've managed to email loads of companies for products to review or some samples. I've had a few more say yes today which is great so my blog will be looking good again soon and this time I promise to keep it up this time. 

I know the post is short but there's only so much you can write about when in here. 

Take care and speak to you all soon

Dinner today 😳

Hello again

Hello ladies and gents 

Sorry for the delay over the past few days . I've been trying to get better from this kidney infection which I got to go home from hospital on Saturday but sadly got rushed back in this afternoon really poorly again. I'm currently writing this from my ED Bed until I get a ward bed. To be honest I feel a lot worse than I did before. So cannulas back in and fluids up and running again. 

Well I was in last week I had a chance to apply to companies to review some products to go on the blog. So far I've had around 10 companies agree to send out some products or vouchers/coupons to be able to purchase their products which in very excited about. 

I'm going to spend my evening hunting out other company's to contact. (This is the perks of been looked after in the hospital I work in- free staff wifi) 

I'm pretty serious about getting my blog up and running properly again and want to try and blog everyday.

So for now I'm going to try and get some sleep because morphine has completely zonked me.

I'll leave you with a few hospital snaps. Thank you 

Again

Apologies once again

Hello ladies and gentlemen

One again my sincere apologies for not having any posts up for a long time, to cut a long story short I've been in the middle of a move so haven't had much of a chance to write to company's in order to get some review products. 

I've started applying once again to get some so hopefully over the next few weeks I shall have some products to show off to you all. 

To catch up with my life I'm currently in hospital with a really bad kidney infection and kidney stones so I am having strong antibiotics and painkillers in order to get rid of them.  

I've got  a few freebies to put on a freebie post when I get home and few bits and pieces that I picked up along the way the past few months from various companies but nothing to major. 

So from here I shall say thank you for sticking by me and happy reading. 

Lauren 

I am back and ready and raring to go

Hello ladies and gents

Firstly I just want to apologise for been away for so long. I've had a lot of personal things I've had to deal with and just haven't had time review any products but here I am. I'm back and really looking forward to reviewing health and beauty and home life products. 

I'm currently in the middle of writing to people Amd waiting for companies to get hold of me regarding different products to review. 

Thank you to all my followers who have hung around. My YouTube channel is also back up and running so look out for some new monthly favourite videos and review videos,

Thank you again 

Lack of posts

I just want to apologise for the lack of posts over the past month. I've been dealing with a lot of family and personal circumstances and I hope all my blogging and vlogging followers will understand. I'm not been ignorant or rude just needing some time and space away from YouTube and blogging i hope you all under stand 

Thank you for your understanding and support :)

Pure Potions skin salvation Intensive Moisturising Ointment and Intensive Hand Cream

Hello Everyone and welcome back to my blog.

Today i am reviewing two products that were kindly sent to me Pure Potions. The 2 items sent were from their skin salvaltions range as i explained to them that i suffer from quite difficultly managed eczema. 

Pure Potions Kindly sent me their intensive moisturising ointment and the intensive hand cream.

i started using the intensive hand cream first as it seem to make more sense for during the day. i Always worry about using new skin products as my eczema is so sensitive and reacts at the mildest of creams. But as soon as I put the hand cream on my skin felt instantly relieved which I was shocked about. I was quite optimistic about using it now and I set my self a target of 7 days to give it a chance to work. And by day 3/4 you could hardly tell I had eczema anymore. I was using the hand cream along side the intensive moisturising ointment at night which I will now move on to in my review. 

As I said before I'm quite skeptical about new skin creams and ointments but I can honestly say I am so impressed by the results of the ointment. I limited myself to using only overnight so I could give it the overnight time to moisturise and soften my skin. At first I will be honest I thought it was slightly greasy but once it had soaked in a bit the ointment felt just like a normal cream and wasn't too heavy. 

When I woke up in the morning my skin was impressively soft and there was a dry patch in sight. 

Overall i am thoughly impressed by both products as will certainly be prepared to purchase them in the future, As I work in a hospital I find constant hand washing is the only down side so having the hand cream available in a small size was really handy to keep in my pocket to use as required after washing my hands a few times. 

I once again want to thank pure potions for allowing me to try these two products and will be willing to try any Future products they may have in the future. 

Thank you for reading

Munchy seeds

Hello and welcome back to my blog.

I was kindly sent some lovely goodies from munchy seeds a few weeks back its just taken a while to get it write up.

The lovely people sent me the following:

2 packs of super sprinkles

A pack of omega sprinkles 

A pack  of honey sprinkles 

A pack of chilli sprinkles 

A pack of choccy gingers 

A pack of chocolate apricot 

A pack of roasted sprinkles 

And a full size tub of crunchy bites

So far I've try the chilli sprinkles, the roasted sprinkles and the chocolate apricots. I found these really tasty especially the chilli ones which weren't overly spicy as I'm not keen on spicy food. They filled me up quite nicely and were handy to put in my hand bag for the train I was on. I also enjoyed the choccy apricots as I'd never tried anything like this before and they gave me boost after doing some exercise. 

The honey sprinkles I actually gave away due to having a serious honey allergy. 

I'm really looking forward to trying the rest of the goodies that were sent to me over the next coming weeks. 

Thank you once again to munchy seeds for sending me these lovely treats. 

Thanks for reading guys
