Yes it has taken me until the 7th to figure out exactly how I want to round up my 2014. Here we go.
Funny Search Terms Directed To My Blog – and my opinion on them. People are weird!
Skincare Review: The Cornish Seaweed Company – Not as gross experimenting with seaweed as you might imagine (although a little odd) and amazing results.
How To Run A Successful Blog On A Budget – The first time I really had the courage to say “Yeah, this is doing pretty well!” and all of the tips I wish I’d known as a budding and very skint blogger.
Statement Logo Tops for A/W – I love street-art and graphic designs and urban fashion so here we are. I’m now addicted to Polyvore! The Bloke finds it ‘one of the most redundant things you could do with your time, oh, apart from Pinterest.’ Smh.
The Perfect Rockabilly Dress – Yes that’s right, me, in an actual dress for once!
I Heart Instagram Tag – This was a really fun tag to join in with and I realised that I’d developed my own style.
Are You Being Too Nice? – This was one of those posts where you are bothered by something in life and you just sit and write and come up with some good points.
B. Makeup Master Class and Product Review – I learn how to contour for my face shape, how to layer powder and cream eyeshadow for staying power, I’m reminded that ‘medium’ is indeed too light for my skin tone and that gel eyelinner is tricky but worth it.
Food Intolerance Symptoms and Information – ALL that I’ve learned on this subject from personal experience and a lot of research.
Scars Are Your Survival Marks – They are part of us and we should show our body more appreciation, even if it isn’t perfect, whatever that means.
Unexpected Benefits of Having Big Boobs – Short and silly!
Moretti Gran Tour (Italian Street Food and Beer) – I still drink the beer and I’m still waiting to be taken out to an Italian restaurant to eat more delicious authentic food.
Do’s & Dont’s of Surviving A Drunken Night Out – From personal experience I’m proud/embarrassed to admit!
OOTD: Rocking Country – My fave summer outfit when I’m not wearing some kind of maxi. I’ve been told I look much younger in this outfit than my 33 years, which is always a bonus :0)
20 Ways To Know If He’s The One – It’s not all sickeningly romantic, promise!
How to Upcycle, Recycle and Re-home Anything! – Waste not, want not.
OOTD: Moroccan Inspired – I bought this skirt in a sale (size 16) for £4.00 and gathered in the waste.
How To Create The Perfect Outfit For Any Occassion – Wish I’d figured this out in my teens and early 20’s!
A Discussion: Teetotallers & Drinkers – As a rather enthusiastic drinker it was so interesting to get other peoples perspectives in this Q&A between everyone.
The strange Truth About Being In Your 30’s – Not young, not old but definitely more ‘you’.
Photo Story: John Rylands Library – Stunning external and internal gothic architecture. There be dragons!
Why Should A Womans Appearance Equal Her Value – I’ve never understood this concept and find it so shallow.
Way of Wagamama Event – First time I’d ever tried the food their and it did not disappoint. Lovely to be able to ask questions to the chefs also.
Where to Buy Cruelty-free Everyday Items on the Highstreet – When you are first starting out on your cruelty-free journey or if you live in a fairly small town or you’re on a budget, it can be a little daunting. It’s simple to gradually incorporate it into the weekly household shop though :0)
10 Reasons Why Bad Weather Can Sometimes Be Good – Ever the optimist.
Alternative Valentines Rules – I won’t mention that this is shortly going to be applicable again – oops!
Manchester Street Art – Part 6 – I need to get out there with my camera again. A shameful amount of time has lapsed.
Stephies Street View – I loved compiling my friends snaps from around town, she has a really interesting perspective on all urban things.
Thank you all for your comments, support and humour in 2014.
