Graze: nature delivered




So a few weeks back I was introduced to graze.com. As I have recently been trying to encourage myself to try and maintain healthier snacking during the day as I find my range of food very limited, partly due to being vegetarian/ being lazy. At first I admit, I was kinda apprehensive to the idea of the graze box and signing up to receive them on a weekly basis (or fortnight). Their website allows you to browse the various different types of foods available and the option to rate them depending on your preference, this will determine how often or  not you receive them in your graze box. When you consider the amount of money you would spend on a regular snack, £3.79 for four healthy variations is not at all bad. So far I have purchased three graze boxes and I have overall been very impressed and is the reason I have continued my subscription on a weekly basis. Within your graze box, you receive a booklet telling you about the key nutrition in each snack and the expiry date of which they need to be consumed by. 
Now, when you purchase a graze box you are given a voucher code that allows whoever you want to claim their own free graze box. This allows you to get to know the graze products for free before if you want, choosing to purchase a further graze box. When signing up, it does ask for you to provide them with your card details to claim your free box, however don't be put off as if you find the graze box is not for you, you can cancel at any point on the website. 

So, if you are interested and would like to claim your free glaze box, just follow these steps
1. go to graze.com
2. enter my code: 7RQY46RD 
3. follow the online steps

I hope at least some of you will be encouraged to claim your free box and maybe even find yourself liking them as much as I do. Enjoy!

A BRITISH SUMMER

After what seems like decades worth of rain, Britain has finally graced us with some more warm weather! I took the opportunity to try something new out on my blog and photograph a "lookbook" style post. I'd like to be able to create more of a variety of blog posts for you this the upcoming 'summer' and so I hope you like it and would appreciate any recommendations that you have or would like to see. I'm also planning something very exciting to keep me busy over the holidays and so I will hopefully keep you all posted!

REVIEW- Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation

So after hearing/reading so many positive reviews on the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation for quite some time,  I finally went and got myself matched at House of Fraser. I explained to the lady at the counter my skin type as I find it can become quite oily throughout the day causing blemishes to appear and blotchy-ness around my jaw. As I spend long days at college and nights at work, I was really searching for the perfect foundation that meant I would not need to touch up my foundation often but also made my skin appear smooth and almost flawless (if that's not too much to ask anyway). The lady matched me with the colour "Ecru" of which I was very pleased with as I feel the match to my skin is faultless. I have to say, I was very much sold. The finish was very sleek and although I would like there to be more coverage the overall look with powder was exactly what I was looking for. I find that it lasts throughout my whole working day without any problems, even during this heat wave, which is impressive at that!  However, after using this foundation everyday for a week, I have found myself breaking out! I am very disappointed as I was so captivated with this product. Has anybody else found this problem or am I just very unlucky!? I am going to continue my search for the "perfect" foundation and try and shop around some other brands, any recommendations would also be very appreciated!
