Nope, still don't care!

Okay, for as long as I can remember I have ALWAYS been extremely bothered about people's opinions of me and I am always trying to keep people happy! So..after buying this jumper, it got me thinking.. there is more to life than constantly trying to please other people! I have also realised it is impossible to please everyone, particularly in the blogging world! Saying that, I am finally starting to focus on me and I feel so much happier for it! 

Anyway, moving on! I am an absolute sucker for an all-black outfit and the below is very casual and perfect for those 'can't be bothered' days!

My HiSmile Experience...

Like many of us, I am constantly trying out new products to prolong the whiteness of my teeth! There are a large number of products on the market and I'm sure you will agree that we are spoilt for choice! I hadn't previously heard of HiSmile but I couldn't wait to try it after carrying out a little research!

HiSmile offer a peroxide-free whitening system that doesn't contain any nasty chemicals; the most important factor to consider when purchasing whitening products!

As you can see, the kit is packaged in a lovely box complete with everything you need to boost that white smile! It contains an LED light complete with a mouth guard, 3 peroxide free gels, a whitening shade chart and an instruction booklet.

It is extremely simple to use and it takes just ten minutes per session - perfect if you lead a busy lifestyle! I have only been using HiSmile for a few days and I can definitely tell a difference already! I have to admit I am a little surprised, particularly because I am such a tea and coffee lover, but my teeth have really improved!

If you fancy trying out HiSmile for yourself check out their full range of products online here.

Disclosure: I was sent a HiSmile kit for review purposes and all opinions are always 100% honest. 

Shine bright like a diamond...

In my opinion, an outfit is never complete without earrings! Whether that be a brand new pair or a trusty, classic pair! I recently collaborated with Diamond Boutique, fine diamond specialists, based in London. I was lucky enough to receive a beautiful pair of Diamond Boutique studded earrings and it is now safe to say that I agree with the statement.. Diamonds are a girls best friend.. 

 

Earrings can sometimes be a little overpowering but I feel these are just right; simple yet classy. Studs are a timeless piece, they are perfect for daytime attire or evening glam. Diamond Boutique offers luxury jewellery suited to a variety of budgets! Take a glimpse of my studs here! 

As some of you may have noticed I am a little fussy when it comes to jewellery, particularly with earrings! I very rarely blog/post about new earrings mainly because I suffer badly with allergic reactions and consequently wear the same pairs! I have had absolutely no problems with my ears since wearing these, which of course, is a big bonus! I am sure you will see more of these earrings in future blog posts!
