Reiki

Today I had A Reiki cleanse. I never really knew about Reiki or Chakra but I was interested to learn more about it and have mine cleansed. Reiki is all about healing negative energy throughout the body and mind. People experience different things after. Some people are harder to cleanse than others but at the end you feel lighter and relaxed. It was a weird experience for me. I was laying down with my eyes closed listening to Spa-like relaxing music. I could feel slight touches all over my body. First the head, then the knees and then the feet. The feet were the weirdest part of the experience. I could feel energy being sucked out of my feet which felt like electric currents running from my feet to her hands. I turned over and she did my other side. The whole thing lasted for 30minutes and by the end I was totally relaxed. She had told me she had seen two images; sissors and two swans coming close together. My energy colours are red and orange. She said she felt a warm, calm, positive energy coming from me which in return projected onto her. She said I had let go of the negative energy myself which meant I didn’t have a lot of cleansing to do. It was a great experience and it made me feel amazing in return.

I need a NUface

I got this Nuface mini device as a Christmas gift to myself. I thought, new year, new face. They described it as a 5 minute face lift and contour... I was sold. It comes with a charger and a priming gel. To prep the skin you need to cleanse with a oil free cleanser so that the device is more effective. The primer goes on just before you start using the device. you can also use aloe vera gel if you haven't been able to get the primer. There are loads of ways to use this toner but i use it along my cheek bones and chin to give me that instant contoured and toned face. You will see a difference the first hour of using it however for the effects to last in the long run, you will have to use it everyday. It feels a bit weird if you haven't put enough gel, you'll feel a bit of a tingle. How it works is it uses microcurrents to simulate the facial muscles so they tighten and contour. I get really self-conscious about my double chin, whether i'm thin or thick I can never get rid of it! I haven't been using this device as often as i should but i have noticed a difference in the last few months. My face feels tighter and more contoured and my chin feels more toned. Overall, I love my New face! aha.

Growing my thorns

Hey, I haven’t done this for a while but I feel like it’s time for me to do this again. I’ve been through a lot of experiences in life, obviously everyone’s experiences are different and mine was the type to change my outlook on a lot of things. Bit by bit I will share this with you. last year I went through the worst possible experience I would never wish on anyone but from that I grew and learnt from it. I became weak when I didn’t expect it. I was always a strong independent person and always had my guard up which in some cases are good to protect yourself from pain. I finally let those walls down for someone I thought was the love of my life and he completely broke me, he kicked me while I was down and watched me bleed out. After a few long months, I got myself up and fixed up. I must admit, I’m not completely fixed but I’m working on it... I’m learning, changing and growing my thorns. So what am I doing on here? First off I never really had anyone to help me while I was down and in some ways I want to share these experiences in hope that it will help someone somehow. Also , I’m so lucky to be doing what I do. I’m surrounded by the best of the beauty world so I decided to share it with the WORLD (well, you guys). At School I decided I wanted to be a photographer but after perusing it at university I realised it wasn’t exactly what I was interested in. I was interested in Fashion and beauty. I became a freelance stylist and an assistant stylist on various company shoots and fashion shows as well as working in retail on the side. I loved dressing people and making them feel confident in their clothes but there was only so much jobs you could book in a month. I was offered a manager role in the make up and skincare world and I fell inlove with something new. I soon became a skincare and make up geek. So here I am today, a make up artist, skincare expert, stylist and now blogger. Let’s start this journey together.
