How To Be More Productive

So last week I went back to college after what felt like the shortest summer break in existence which I'm sure many other students will agree with. Moving into a new job role had me busy at work for the whole summer and now my working weeks are going to be down to 4 days my productivity levels have to soar. I also can't forget all the assignments I'll have to fit in too - last year I wrote the equivalent of around 7 dissertations. So here are my tips for staying productive and getting things done that have worked wonders for me.

Salted caramel is one food that I associate with the season change to autumn along with pumpkin spiced lattes and blackberry & apple crumble. In preparation for the World's Biggest Coffee Morning on 30th September for Macmillan, I decided to experiment with creating some gooey salted caramel brownies. After much taste testing from family and friends the recipe makes 16 delicious brownies:



So as you may know from my Twitter and Instagram I've been working up in London recently so I thought I'd share on my blog a post about the Sky Garden at 20 Fenchurch Street as it's somewhere in the city that I really enjoy going and best of all... it's completely free.

Clinique Chubby in the Nude Foundation

I've long been a fan of Clinique make up and skin care so when I heard about the Chubby in the Nude Foundation Stick I knew I'd just have to try it so I decided to take it on the ultimate road test - to Glastonbury Festival. I knew if it could prove itself there it would work anywhere.


Bristol Balloon Fiesta Photo Diary

Every year since I can remember I have been going to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta and each year I always put it in my calendar. Its another reason why I love Bristol. The event runs every year for four days (Thurs-Sun) in August and is the largest annual meeting of hot air balloons in Europe. The city has plenty of great vantage points to see the balloons, such as the downs overlooking the Clifton Suspension Bridge, but I always venture to Ashton Court for the full experience of the ascent and the Night Glow which happens on the thursday and saturday evenings. 
                                       Albufeira, Portugal: Photo Diary
While my recent holiday was more about rest and relaxation than exploring somewhere new. I thought I'd put together a little photo diary of what I could probably class as my second (holiday) home. The old town has so much beauty within it's narrow streets with tiled-front houses and cobbled pavements to the scorching hot beach that lies alongside. 
Wimbledon Middle Sunday: Photo Diary

If you follow me over on twitter you will probably have guessed that i'm a tennis fan and the Wimbledon Championships are something I try to attend every year. This year due to a busy schedule I'd decided that I wouldn't be able to make it. Then tickets became available for Centre Court on middle sunday - so my plans to stay away went out of the window and it was amazing. Here's a quick photo round up of my day:
5 Amazing Uses for Coconut Oil

Morning All, I hope you're all doing well. I'm probably currently asleep stinking of dirt in a really muddy field as I wrote this before I went to Glastonbury. But it's okay because when I get back it gives me a massive excuse to pamper myself and coconut oil will 100% be part of this.

So a little while ago I mentioned coconut oil in my spring beauty essentials post and as it's such a great multi-purpose product I thought it was worthy of it's own post. I would go as far as saying that I would happily put it everywhere and anywhere but I don't want you to get the wrong impression of me. So here are my 5 top uses for Coconut Oil:
