Spring Has Sprung!

So I don't know about you, but I always think of the end of February and the beginning of March as Spring. Usually, I'm a big fan of the cold, Winter and Autumn months, but these past two years I have been really looking forward to Spring.

Last year, I was walking home from school and as I entered my garden I sort of became aware. Aware of how, for months, the world had seemed dead. Birds hadn't been chirping, the sky had been filled with grey clouds and everything had just been so dull and lifeless. 

Yet on this bright day in the end of February, it seemed as though the world had awakened from a long beauty sleep. And boy, had it woken up more beautiful. The sky was a gorgeous shade of blue, with a few white fluffy clouds here and there. The birds were cheeping a little happy song, and brightly coloured flowers were starting to show. 

It was then that I realised, I love Spring. How the world seems to awaken, how it's a new start for life to grow and be beautiful.

I view Spring as a new start; for the animals, for the plants and for me. It's time to reinvent yourself, do something you desperately want to do. 

Winter is over, and it's time to get out there and show the world what you're made of! 

How about you? Do you like Spring? Tell me what you think about this glorious season in the comments below. 

See you later!

September favourites

Hello everybody! Sorry about no post last week, I had a lot going on and didn't have chance to make one! Anyway, today I am back with my September favourites. Now I don't actually have that many favourites for September as I didn't really buy or test any new products. However, I do have a few products I have fallen in love with so that's what I'm going to share with you today. 

The first thing is this lovely little product. This is the Body Shop Born Lippy lip balm in the flavour Strawberry. I love products from the Body Shop and this one is no exception. It smells good, it tastes good and really does moisturise my lips. This is just an all over amazing products and I would definitely recommend this to everyone, even if you don't have dry lips. It wasn't too pricy either, which obviously is a bonus. 

My next favourite is the Baby Lips in the shade Cherry Me. I wanted a berry lip product which wasn't too dark and I found this. This is amazing. It smells like cherry and tastes like cherry. Not only does it moisturise the lips, but it is a beautiful colour. It isn't sheer or shimmery and shows up the colour it is. This is all over an amazing product and an essential of mine for autumn/fall. 

The next thing is this Pearl Drops Instant White Toothpolish. For about a year now I have been searching for a product that cleans my teeth and whitens them. This product does both of those and isn't too minty either. I am really pleased i have discovered this as I have been using this for only a week and have definitely noticed a huge difference. I don't think it was too expensive either so I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants whiter teeth. 

The next thing are these T-Zone Clear Out Nose Pore Strips. These are just your average nose pore strips but I really like these ones as they work really well. 

Now recently I have been getting really dry skin on my ear lobes, my knees and my elbows but since I've been using this they have definitely been a lot more moisturised and nowhere near as dry. This is a really good product and definitely something I'm going to be using a lot more. 

I love simple skin products and this is no exception. This is the Spotless Skin Anti-Blemish Moisturiser. This really does help with my spots and since I've been using this i have noticed a huge decrease in the amount of spots I have. Not only does this help get rid of spots, but it is also a really good moisturiser. I've almost used it all up and I am definitely going to be repurchasing this. 

The last thing is this shampoo. This is the L'oreal Paris Elvive Oil Nourishing Shampoo. I have very dry hair so I'm always looking for products to repair and soften it. This product does just that while smelling amazing! I can't rave about this product enough, it's so good and I am in love with it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn't have greasy hair! 

So that was my September favourites, i hope you enjoyed it. If you did, leave me a comment and go follow me on instagram @eleanxrmarie and twitter @eleanxrmarie 

I'll see you next week loves, byeeeee xox, eleanor
