Living With Anxiety

Hi guys,

 Sorry I haven't been online lately I have had a lot going on personally lately which is why I'm writing this post for you all really. 

 I'm currently going through my first diagnosed relapse of anxiety. I say diagnosed because I have struggled with it since I suffered with depression and anxiety about 2 years ago now I think? But yeah this time the symptoms haven't gone away and the thoughts are progressively getting worse. I saw my doctor last night and he thought it was best I go back onto the medication I used to be on to alleviate those symptoms and thoughts so I can regain the control over them so I get better again! 

This post is kind of just like a thing I might do regularly because it's easier to vent here and idk if my experiences can help just one person feel better or not alone etc then I'll be happy! :)

But yeah, today is day one on my meds again and it's gunna take a few weeks for them to settle down and work but this time I'm suffering from the side effects already and I have had a horrid headache all day that painkillers aren't even working. I have 0 appetite (although that may be from the bug I had last week) and idk I feel more hyper-sensitive and more on edge than before. Apparently that's just all part of adjusting and things are going to get worse before they get better. I don't really remember much from my first round of treatment cause of the depression so it's going to be really strange dealing with it this time round when it's just my anxiety playing up cause it'll affect my moods too when they're fine already so that is odd. Long as I can get calm again and not so stressy over everything and things as simple as locking the front door stops turning into me having a panic attack and worrying if I haven't done it aaall day! 

So yeah, like I said this might become regular thing and it'd be really cool if you guys read it :)!

love and hugs xoxo

Ciaté Mini-Mani Month Review: Part 1

Hi guys!! Once again I apologise for the delay in any posts! Since I've started my new job I just haven't been keen on doing anything in my spare time really but I have had some time off over Christmas so I have this post, another and maybe a video all planned s I can maybe do them this week!

This post is going to be a review on the colours, top coats, glitters and caviars I have tried from the Ciaté Mini-Mani Month advent calendar.

First off I wore boudoir & one of the caviars (the name has eluded me and I can't get to the bottle to tell you I'm afraid! But as soon as I can, I will comment it if anyone would like to know!)

Sorry about the lighting I took it as soon as I had finished and I hadn't even tidied the edges! The red is a gorgeous colour and so glossy the compliments I had were amazing! I did struggle with the caviar but it was the first time I had ever used them so hopefully the next time I won't be so cautious and then they won't fall off so quickly!

Next I tried Serendipity,

 The effect was aboslutely gorgeous! Sadly even with a base and top coat it peeled off very easily and I don't know why! So it didn't last long but was beautiful nonetheless! I don't know why I never took a better photo if I'm honest! Or if I did I can't find one now sadly. Such a beautiful colour!

Next I tried Amazing Gracie, a beautiful almost white pink colour.

This is 3 coats and it was still quite pale but it was still beautiful on. One coat gives a nice sheen to your nails and it looks really natural, perfect for a French manicure! I felt very feminine with this colour.

Last but not least! I am currently wearing Hopscotch, Snow Globe & Jingle Belle.

I apologise for the focus of this one! But I think this is one of my fav mani's I have ever done, at first I thought it was quite cluttered but it's really beautiful, especially when the foil bits hit the light and the glitter shimmers. The Jingle Belle may be a bit more noticeable on a lighter colour but it still looks beautiful and it's easier to use than the caviar!

I will slowly get around to trying all the colours and effects and I'll show you a few each time!
Hope you enjoyed and my review has been helpful! See you shortly! xo
