What I've Learnt.....

Hello there;

Happy 1st Birthday

Hello there;

1 year ago today, I sat on my sofa in my home and thought;

"Today I am going to start my own blog".

A year later I am sat again on my sofa in my home and thinking;

"Where the hell has that year gone?!".

Yes Sian Marie Beauty is 1 year old today! If you have been here from the start I am sure you can remember my blog looking like this;

Birthday Presents

Hello there;

Quick couple of disclaimers before I do this post.

1. This post is not me bragging. I am so grateful of the presents that people buy me for birthdays that I simply want to show you them. 

2. The photo isn't great, due to the sheer size of area I needed to take this photo. 

Right now that is over. Lets begin. 

Unless you have been under a rock for the past week, you will be aware that on Saturday it was my 25th birthday. Yes 25. Half way to 50 and all that. I was dreading turning it, got reallllly mardy Friday night. I didn't want to go to my friends wedding, I just wanted to stay indoors and sulk all day. Well thank god by the time Saturday morning had come around I was buzzing. So excited to watch two of my friends get married and especially on my birthday. It was also great to see some old faces. But between getting pretty drunk on £2.50 archers & lemonade, dancing and crying at speeches. I managed to open my lovely birthday presents.

ITS MY BIRTHDAY

Hello there;

Today is a little mini post.

Because

IT IS MY BIRTHDAY

ilumi World*

Hello there;

A few weeks ago I received an email asking me if I was willing to try out some new foods. Well I love food and I love trying out new food, so this was an opportunity I couldn't turn down. 

The brand is called ilumi, they are a company that produce nut, gluten and milk free meals. At first you think, oh god are these going to be bland? I think that is how a lot of people perceive these sort of meals. Well let me tell you, ilumi is hella tasty. 

What ilumi have to say;

"Welcome to the world of ilumi! We've been cooking up nut-, gluten- and milk-free foods for nearly a decade here in beautiful County Durham. Our team of chefs and nutritionists are creative and allergen-savvy: they know which ingredients are safe, and how to combine them to create delicious meals you can trust. After all, food is one of life's great pleasures - but we know you can't enjoy anything until you're 100% confident it's safe.

And from this springs our mission: to create delicious, colourful, deeply flavoursome foods that our customers can trust, to make them accessible and convenient, and to spread the word about eating for wellness to the wider community."

I think they have really hit it on the head here. I received 4 microwaveable meals that are a 1 person serving, they were either a complete meal or you had to add pasta or potatoes to make it a full meal. Which for a person who works 36.5 hours a week is so convenient for me. I struggle to make healthy meals to take to work. This is a great way to get that good healthy and hearty meal without the faff. 

Quick disclaimer - I took these to work, so the photos of the food itself were taken on my iPhone. No posh food set up here sorry. 

Taken over my life. Literally.

Hello there;

I have one of those personalities that when I really like something. I become OBSESSED. Luckily for me, it doesn't happen often. I think my last obsession was Twilight when that came out. So yano, they are very rare. But oh my lord. This has taken over my LIFE! 

Now if you follow me on Twitter, you probably know what I am on about. Or if your name is Kenzie, you will 100% know what I am about ;)

Fifty Shades Of Grey.

Reverse Hair Washing

Hello there;

Maybe I am a little late to be posting this. But I really wanted to try this technique out before I wrote a post on it. So reverse hair washing, is it really worth the hype?!

My iPhone Tour

Hello there;

Everyone loves being nosey. Right?

Want to see apps people are using? 

Well let me introduce you to my iPhone 5. 

Slightly M.I.A

Hello there;

By the title you might be wondering what I am on about.

Well if you didn't already know, I am currently moving house on the 31st May to be exact. I then go back to work for 4 days, with no internet. And then I go on holiday for a week. So sadly I will not be about for a couple of weeks. 

BUT, luckily for you. I have scheduled my posts. I will still be posting every other day as I would hate to let you down. And I will reply to any comments when I can. I am hoping to get the internet when I am back off my holiday. 

Get Ready With Me

Hello there;

If you follow and read my best friends blog, Charlotte Rose, the chances are you have already seen one of half of this post.

We wanted to do our first ever get ready with me post. But as girls do, we got too wrapped into talking and watching things on my laptop, we ended up having to rush getting ready. Which meant the photo side of it didn't really happen.

But here are some snaps I got from the night.

My Perfect Imperfections

Hello there;

I thought I would jump on this old tag and open up to you guys a little. Obviously you hardly know me, even from my Ask Siân Marie post it still doesn't show the real me. Id say only a few people other than my family will ever know me 100%. 

My bestie Charlotte Rose, did this tag and I found it quite inspiring and wanted to give it ago myself. It has took me a while to actually do this post because I have had to think hard what my 3 "imperfections" are and what my 3 "perfections" are.

Top 10 Blogs

Hello there;

Recently I have been added to peoples favourite blogs to read. 

Now can I just say, I think that is crazy. I have started this blog as something to do really apart from working and sleeping; and it has actually become a second job to me. 

To think people might actually wait for my next post to come or even enjoy the dribble that I write amazes me. 

So if you are one of them people, thank you. It is because of you I keep going with this blog. 

My little space on the internet is slowly growing and its blowing my mind. 

Right enough of that soppy stuff >.<

I thought it was about time I did my top 10 blogs at this current time. It is a mixture of well known beauty bloggers and people who bloody should be well known.

I love so many more blogs, but I would literally have a post 60 pager if I put them all in a post. So if your blog isn't one this one. Keep a look out for my next one as you never know you might be on that one ;D

Katie Nails #4

Hello there;

It is that time of the month, when my dear friend Katie comes and works her magic on my fingernails. I let her have total free reign this time. But I must say, I think they are my most favourite nails to date! 

Sadly due to lighting issues and well just basically to busy pissing about I didn't get as many photos as I wanted. But at least I took some yeah?! 

Ask Siân Marie

Hello there;

Ive had this blog a little while now, and it has come to my attention that you guys don't know anything about me. All you see is what I type, an odd body part and photos I take. 

So I am going to answer a few questions that will give you a little insight into my world.

Myself and the boyfriend, Palmer

Hello February;

Hello there;

When did you show your face?

Since when did January go past so fast?

Why does it feel like I have missed half a month?

2014 Resolutions

Hello there;

I get it, its cliché to make resolutions and its also cliché to not keep them. But I feel obliged every year to make a few of my own. It's a habit I can't break.

I really didn't want to make loads that seemed unreasonable, because I think that is the trap most people fall into. Making 10+ promises to yourself and probably not even keeping any of them. So on this gloomy Monday morning, I have sat and thought of 4. 

4 seems reasonable right?
