Holiday Prep

So today started off a beautiful spring day the blossom was blowing on the trees and to top it off its Friday !! After a busy day in the office the heavens decided to open which only made more excited that in just 3 days I'm jetting off to South Africa :D  Getting a visit from my best friend at lunch discussing what we we're going to pack between us only made me realise I have not really given much thought as to what beauty products I would be taking with me, so I thought I better get cracking! 

Skin

To start of with it is so important to protect yourself from the sun as to me keeping healthy skin is a must!! I find that the Forever Living Sunscreen smells amazing and is not sticky or oily like others on the market. I use the Thicker cream on my skin and the spray on my face. I also can't go without my Forever Living Aloe Gelly as this soothes you skin after a day out in the sunshine. A top tip is to put the gelly in the fridge if you have one in your room and feels even better. I also use this to take my makeup off as my nose always goes pink so stops it getting dry.

Make Up

I don't wear a lot of make up on holiday and to be honest with you in the week unless I'm going out somewhere really nice I wear minimal make up. However there are a few bits that I can't live without special with a gorgeous holiday glow.

1. Forever Living Flawless by Sonya Precision Liquid Eyeliner I love my 50's flicks and I have used so many different variations from brushes to pens but this tip is so pointed that you can get your perfect flicks with just one attempt. 

2. Mac Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara what woman can live without mascara? This one has two wipers which means you can have defined or lashes with a lot of va va room. I love lashes with a bit of volume so this is just perfect for me.

3. Mac Prep+Prime is my magic weapon this product is great for contouring hiding all those late nights on holiday but also brings out your eyes against your tanned face. Under the brow for a more defined finish and along the nose to cover any pinkness. A top tip is to look at your veins in your arm to pick the right colour for your skin tone. If you have blue veins when clenching your fist then you need the pink or if your veins are green then the yellow.

4.Forever Living Flawless by Sonya Delicious Lipstick there are so many to choose from and I have to admit I have gone a bit crazy on the colours. With a vanilla taste these lipsticks are infused with aloe so help condition the lips, so no dry cracks whilst being in the sunshine. For holiday Guava 407 is pink but not to barbie for when you first arrive and as the tan depends switch to Watermelon 406 for a more rich colour. 

5. Forever Living Sun Lips finally it is important to protect your lips from the  sun so this lip balm is great for cooling as this is also aloe infused its 80 minutes water resistant SPF 30 so helps prevent sunburn I never leave the hotel room without it.

Happy Jumper Day :D

Bikini Body update

 is day 6 of my clean 9 experience and I've got to admit I'm loving these results so far. The meals I've been cooking have looked so much more appealing then takeaways and my clothes are feeling looser which is always a bonus. I have finally got my top tummy muscles back but need to work a lot harder to get my bottom ones back. Looking at nice colourful food has made me realise that before I was just making excuses although I still have no kitchen I still have a old gas oven which worked perfectly well. Ive enjoyed the house smelling of good food and people have even mentioned on social media that they are copying my recipes :D

Wardrobe Situation 

I did a last minute order on Asos, Missguided Riverisland and Matalan thank god for next day delivery and it has just been sprung on me that we have a ball to attend when we got to South Africa!!! This would normally take weeks, no months to plan as I am only 5 ft tall I have to get like 2 foot normally chopped on the bottom but someone must be looking out for me as asos had a sale and ball gowns in petite for just £20-30 each so I bought all 4 and taking all 4 will decide on the night! I had also just find out that when I go on safari I have to wear all camouflage colours which straight made me sing survivor by destiny's child and picture myself running with a bandana military boots and a rolled up top. In reality I found some lovely Khaki shorts white vest and a khaki shirt dress as you can probably already tell from this blog I am a very indecisive individual choice is better than no choice and there is nothing worse than being on holiday with only one outfit a day and you realise you either don't fit in it, its too hot or cold or you just don't like it anymore. Packing has begun and this has to be done with military precision! Will keep you updated as this literally takes me days to do..

Beauty Update 

Although I've been pretty busy organising the team before I leave I am proud to say that I have finally sorted out a beautician Amy to make me look fabulous the magic will happen this Saturday. :D

So Fiercefoxes are smashing it this week I have set a task of truth or dare and the dare for my victim today Leanne was to go out to a park and make friends with 3 new people getting names and become Facebook friends she did this with flying colours! Harriet my beautiful friend and fellow business owner dropped by to say hello and to give a quick pep talk about her newest recruit Chloe. She is so so sweet and dropped me round a little gift of a gorgeous card and Berry Triffle Yankee Candle smells amazing!! So amazing after eating clean for almost a week I literally feel like I could eat this candle! 

So today I have learned that being helpful and kind will always be the best way to mentor someone. Eating clean is not hard when you have a why connected to it. And making excuses is a life choice not reality if you want something hard enough you will do anything to make sure it happens...

So yesterday the 8th April began the countdown to the holiday of a life time. The destination I have been dreaming of ever since watching Lion King when I was 5 years old. I am going on safari which means 3 things:

1. Bikini body I need it back fast!!!
2.  I need to buy a whole new wardrobe because although I have mountains of clothes you can never find anything to wear on holiday!!!
3. I need to call every beautician I know to make me feel beautify myself which take an awful lot wax,nails,hair,brows and lashes I am an essex girl after all!

Anyway so the first thing to tackle is the bikini bod after living off takeaways for the best part of 3 months with no kitchen. I need to do a cleanse pronto! As I don't have long a clean 9 is perfect for me. Basically it's a 9 day body cleanse which rids the body of built up toxins and makes you feel great. I've done one before and had such amazing results that I was ready to get this started and not feel like such a slob!!!

So day one consisted of taking lots of aloe gel, water supplements a yummy chocolate shake and fruit and veg. I'm surprised how easy I'm finding it as I met up with my girlfriends from school for a drink and watched them stuff their faces with chips, chicken strips and cocktails!! I had a lemon water with fibre  mmmmm..... it was fine though had a reasonably early night and cuddled Bambi.

So today has been pretty good first morning in so long I actually had a lay in maybe its because I found my Victoria Secret blindfold don't worry this isn't kinky this literally is the only one that I could find that would fit my pea head and having blinds that are white I normally wake up as soon as the sun rises!! Anyway I'm rambling on.. so I woke up took a lovely bath washed my hair walked Bambi, bought some more healthy treats and started catching up with my besties! Put some orders through and arranged to have a sleepover wahoo!!! Pjs no make, sharing with them my exciting news about sharing this blog oh yeah and swapping cupcakes for strawberry and blueberry water.  

Now we are watching The Other Woman saying how psycho we would go on our man if he ever thought this was acceptable. I would for sure put hair removal cream in shampoo, brush his tooth brush with the toilet and of course laxatives in his water...  Now they have just ordered Pizza hut, I did call them besties didn't I but not at this moment of time as I have a stir fried veg which would be satisfying if the smell of their garlic bread, vegetarian and wedges aaaannnnidddd garlic dip my favourite :(

So what I've learned today is that I have more willpower than I actually thought  I had. I love my friends a little less eating this is front of me but I do love spending a Saturday night in with them. 7 days until South Africa wahoo!!!! lets do this!!! Oh and its taken me 20 years to find out that lion king is East Africa not South but still it's safari and I'm going to meet my own Simba...

Join the pack 

Hi Everyone :D

So I want to start off by saying I am so nervous about starting something new but I feel as my life has changed so much in the last 18 months its now time to push myself outside of my nice snug comfort zone.  I work as a busy lettings manager in my home town of Essex in England but found my true passion just a year ago I wanted to share with the world my journey to prove that you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

 October 2014 my boyfriend of 9 years and I had purchased out first home it needed so much work but was a perfect project for us both to get into. Nothing in the house was salvageable even the plumbing and electrics! We really didn't know what we had got ourselves into. At the same my best friend Daisy had just started a new journey also but this was a change of career, she decided she was going to sack the boss and follow her dreams (I thought she was crazy). She asked me to be apart of her new business venture but at the time I was far too busy with working full time and every spare moment I had I was travelling to our house to try and make some progress. I knew what she doing was not for me . As we started to work our way through knocking walls down and building new ones I realised money was running out little did I know my best friends income had almost doubled from her previous job! As the months went on Daisy kept asking me to join her but still I politely declined her offer still stressing I have no time if only I knew what I know now...

February 2015 I decided what have I got to loose even if I give it a go and fail at least I tried. Well this decision to become a network marketer will go on to the best decision on my life so far. I built up  an amazing business with an fabulous team (Fierce Foxes). This has given me the opportunity to help others and do things I never thought would be possible! Seeing single mums buying new cars and new mums not going back after maternity. Seeing customers go through life changing transformations and insecurities disappear. As my team grew so did my confidence Fierce Foxes was on the map and just 4 months I had hit 4 promotions and had hit the top of the marketing plan standing on stage in front of 5000 people at the London Excel being rewarded for my hard work was simply mind blowing and the best thing is that my best friend was there by my side.

 I had all of the sudden made the same amount of money working part time as a network marketer as I was working full time as a letting manager!! I suddenly had team members in other countries and hosting webinars to hundreds of people sharing my tips on how to be successful in the industry, people were actually tuning in interested in what I had to say?? To say I am honoured is an understatement! I now host business presentations and training days for business owners in Essex sharing my knowledge and this is still around my busy life! I never realised saying one word to one question could change my whole outlook on life the world literally is your oyster and settling for a life you live should no longer be an option set you sights on bigger goals and prepare yourself to smash them.

I managed to squeeze in a truly unforgettable holiday to Mexico too in November 2015 working on the house was getting a little exhausting so tapas, tans and tequila went down a treat :D Met some friends for life and one even joined the Fierce foxes if you haven't been you need to the people and cute little animals are amazing!! Coco bongos is mental was great to show Alex Chichen Itza mayan ruins. Of course sun, sea and sangria for 14 days makes you forget about the painting, plastering and plumbing we had to do back home.

So now we are nearly up to date with whats happened for me in the last year we enjoyed spending our first Christmas waking up in our house however, still not ready for decorations we had a bed and a TV in one room, living off takeaways as we had no kitchen and washing up in the only room in the house which was finished the bathroom. Mind you washing up in a beautiful freestanding bath you saved for a month to buy wasn't ideal but so happy we have one finished room Oh yeah and finally I was able to bring my little fox Bambi to her new home as you can guess she was the inspiration behind my business name!!

So now this takes us up to the new year January 2016! Alex my boyfriend turned 30!!! omg!!! We celebrated in London having afternoon tea, going shopping for goodies in Harrods and Gauchos for dinner then a nice stay at the Reuben's opposite Buckingham Palace. In the morning we had a beautiful breakfast then hit Borough market followed by sushi and more shopping at convent garden. Still can believe he is 30 !!!!

February was an amazing month for me as I found at the I was going to be travelling on an all expenses trip to South Africa with my best friend. Our business is paying for us to be first class with virgin loaded credit cards and get to go on safari my life long dream and visit an orphanage bringing clothes to the less fortunate. To think I started my business at the end of the month last year and how far both me and my best friend have come I genuinely am so grateful to have been shown the opportunity and can think of anyone else in the world I'd rather be on this adventure with. My sister from another mister and main partner in crime. 

March was my birthday month so got treated to an amazing dinner at Hayward's. Went to the Dining rooms with some of my girlfriends followed by hitting the shops got the most beautiful Givenchy handbag, Burberry scarf and Versace bikini for South Africa of course ;) I honestly feel like I've died and gone to heaven looking round the shops.  

And this finally brings me to the new exciting chapter of my life April 2016 the month I started my first blog...  I hope you've enjoyed reading about my year I am sorry if I have gone on a bit as I'm not sure how much to write all I know is I could write so much more but don't want to frighten you away. I have found this so therapeutic typing away watching the sky change for sunny to raining to finally the sun setting and the night sky and moon have now appeared. My next post will be me getting ready for my adventure to South Africa 10 days and counting!! I have so much to do such hard work being a girl!!

My life has changed so much in a year and can't wait to see what this year brings. Thursday 7th April 2016 is the day the Fierce Foxes Blog has arrived and I'm excited to let you see the birth of something amazing.
