Creightons Squeeky Clean Instant Tan

Hello lovelies!

Today, I'm going to be writing a review on the 'Glow Stopper - Creightons Squeeky Clean Instant Tan Matte.'

This is actually my sisters tan. She got it for her birthday in September but haven't used it. 
One night I was tanning and I thought of trying my sisters tan instead of mine!

As soon as I applied the tan, I looked orange. I wasn't too sure if it was the light or whether I weren't used to seeing myself another colour other than pale. I went downstairs to show my mum and she said that it gives me a nice glow. So, the product does what it says.

I took before and after photos so you can see the difference. The photo quality is poor though as I took these on my phone.

I apply my tan at night so when I go to sleep so I can give it a few hours to dry properly. It did fade overnight which was good.

When I woke up, I could tell that it gave me a nice glow. It gives more of a glow compared to the tan I normally use (which is more dark than a glow.) 
It fades after 24 hours but you can still tell that you're wearing it.

I would use this tan again because it gives a nice golden glow and it lasts about 24 hours. It also smells so good too - a nice fruity smell!

Boohoo Clothing Haul

Hello lovelies!
 I recently bought some gorgeous clothing items from boohoo.com. It is so affordable and the clothing is amazing quality!

 The standard delivery rate is £3.99 and that was what I was planning to choose. Although, at the time, the delivery price was £1.99 for next day delivery. So, why not!? And yes it did come the next day, at about 8:45am! My mum answered the door and brought the bag of clothes up to my room and tried them on first. She instantly fell in love and went online and ordered herself some.

Aveline Wrap Over Playsuit- £12.00 and I got this in a size 8. I thought that it would have been risky to get a size 6 because it would've come up quite high on my legs and the arms may have been a little too short. It fits perfectly though and it would look lush with some gorgeous heels.

Cherie Grid Print Mini Skirt- £6.00 and I got this in a size 8. I knew I was a size 8 before I bought it. I love the pattern and black and white goes with a lot. Would look nice with basically anything. A crop top or a white top tucked in would look cute.

Zip Front Long Sleeve Blouse- £18.00 and I got this in a size 8. Great work/interview outfit. Would look nice with leggings or black high waisted jeans. Could go with pretty much anything. My blazer from Miss Selfridge also looks good with it too! Sleeves are a bit long but they're easy to roll up. Would also look good tucked into high waisted jeans. Please bear in mind that the creases in this blouse already came like that and I haven't had time to iron them out.

Jessica Aztec Swing Playsuit- £12.00 and I got this in a size 8. The patterns are lovely and it's so colourful, so wearing any colour shoes are quite handy. Me and mum decided to share this playsuit and I do admit that it looks much better on her.

Masiy Basic Bodycon Mini Skirt- £5.00 and I got this in a size 8. It's so cheap for a skirt. I thought that I needed to get something other than black. Love the colour although it's quite see-through. So you'd have to wear light coloured underwear. I also didn't realise that the tag inside the skirt was poking out until I uploaded the photos.

Lola Frill Sleeve Swing Top- £10.00 and I got this in a size 8. I'm really not sure on this top and I don't know why. I think it's the bottom part of the top. It just looked so much better on the model.

White Cut Out Bralet- £12.00 and I got this in a size 6. I was debating on the size 6 and the size 8. I wasn't sure on the size 8 because the shoulder straps would've probably been too big as they're not adjustable. I wasn't sure on the size 6 because I thought it would've been too tight around the bust. (And it is!) It is a little hard to get on and off, but doesn't feel too tight on. Would look gorgeous with pretty much anything.


Have a lovely week!

Changing my blog name - Am I making the right choice?

Hello lovelies!

I am writing quite a simple and short post today. I have been blogging for about 5 months now (I think it's five anyway!) and I have been thinking about changing my blog name.

As soon as I created my blog, I sat down for hours and hours writing down ideas and wondering what I could name my blog. I came up with Simply Inspired - but it just didn't make me click.

As I'm still a newbie blogger, I thought that now would probably be a good time to change my blog name. But then a few questions popped into my head.

People know my blog as simply inspired, what will they think? 
What about bloglovin? Will I lose my followers if I change my url.
Blogging accounts that I've joined such as - Pick a blogger, eTail PR Bloggers network and Bloggers Lounge - Would I have to let them know that I've changed my blog name?

What do you think? Have you ever done it and is it all hard work?
Please let me know! Thank you so much for reading & you're more than welcome to leave blog name ideas for me in the comments below!

liebster award



Q1. What is the most amazing thing that has happened to you, so far in your life?
A1. The most amazing thing that has happened to me so far was passing my driving theory test! I have been revising since June 2014 and I took my first test in December 2014 and I failed 4 times. It really did get me down but I passed just over 2 weeks ago and it still won't sink in! 


Q2. Why did you start blogging?
A2. I started watching YouTube videos and I came across someones video and she had her social media links in the video description box. I found her blog and I loved the idea of it and she really inspired me to start blogging. I was also on a website builder called Piczo, me and my friend made cool websites for fun and then I came across the blogging side of Piczo a few years later.


Q3. What or who is your blog inspired by?

A3. My blog is inspired by Iclelivzi. I have been watching her YouTube videos since she first started and I have read her blog about 10,865 times. (Ok, maybe that's a bit much. But, I have read her blog over and over again a lot of times.)


Q4. Where will your blog take you?

A4. I really don't know. Blogging is a great passion of mine and I really do enjoy it. Hopefully I'll have a few more followers than 31. But who knows where it will take me..


Q5. What is your dream in life?

A5. My dream is to be happy and be able to do things I want to do. 


Q6.  If you were to win £10 million on the lottery, what would be the first thing you would spend it on?

A6. If my family need extra money for tax or rent or stuff like that, I would help them out. I would also give a lot to my mum and dad because they are such generous people and I couldn't ask for better parents!

Q7. Who is your favourite music artist and why?
A7. If you know me well, you would've guessed by now. Cher Lloyd. I have loved her since she walked on the X-Factor stage. Her songs also have so much meaning and helps me get through my life.


Q8. When are you at your happiest?

A8. When I'm in my comfort zone. At home, in my room or blogging.

Q9. Who is your hero/heroine/the person you most look up to? Why?

A9. The person who I look up to is Cher Lloyd. She doesn't care what people think of her and I wish I was exactly like that. She inspires me so much and keeps my head held high.


Q10. Describe your dream life

A10. My dream life. Wow. I would love to be a professional dancer and I would love to have a small family. I would also love to keep positive and help out other people as much as I could.

Q11. What is your favourite 'treat'?
A11. I don't know what you mean by 'treat' but if you mean food, it's definitely chocolate without a doubt!
