My Update



If you've been reading my blog recently, you'll know that I've been in hospital because of my epilepsy. So I thought that I would share my experience of one of the scariest things I've ever done.

So it all started on the 17th of march, I started the day fine and went to work as usual. I didn't quite feel right that day but wasn't quite sure why? So I carried on my normal day and thought that my sugar levels were low so after having lunch I hoped that it would get better. After about an hour it started to go down hill and ended up having a seizure. It then went from bad to worse as it was now at the stage where I was in and out of conciseness and was continuing to have seizures. An ambulance was called and a first responder was there in minutes and was given oxygen after having a tonic clonic seizure. This basically means that it affects my whole brain.  I don't really remember a lot but what I do remember is feeling very faint and the ambulance crew arrived. I continued to have seizures and the decision was made to take me to A&E as more medical care was needed. I was taken in resus and remained there until I was taken to a ward. This is when I knew that it was pretty serious and I was continuing to be on oxygen and my heart rate was to low.

I remained in hospital for 5 days and continued to have fits needing oxygen as well. This was very scary because I went from being very independent to needing 24hr care. I've got to say that the nurses were incredible that first night and were there to support me through everything.

Now this isn't to make you feel bad for me, because I really don't want that. I wrote this to share my experience and how epilepsy can get so bad, so quickly and completely take over you whole body and mind.

Thank you for reading and please leave any comments below.

Soap and glory mini gift set's Every year soap and glory come out with some amazing christmas that you definitely get your money's worth. This is actually last year bag but I have put in the bag the product's that You get in the set for this year. I personally love these set's because they are so easy to travel with and because they are so small you can take everything you need with you. The set this year is called bright and bubbly and it comes in a box, which personally I prefer the bag as you can also used for travelling. The set retails for £10 which I think is amazing value as you get 4 products and a shower flower thing (what are they called?). Within the set is the clean on me shower cream/gel which is really moisturising and it has the classic soap and glory scent.  Glad hair day which is their shampoo, I haven't actually tried this but it's the perfect size to take away with you.

Top 3 concealer's

Top 3 concealer's I think concealer is something that people get confused about, what shade to pick and where to put it. This is because there two types of concealer's one that is meant to be use for spot and blemishes, which most people know about and then there is also highlighting concealer's which are used to add light to your face but still concealer's light blemishes and small blemishes within those area's.  The most famous highlighting conceal is the YSL Touche Eclat which is even through is good it's pretty pricey at £25.00. So I was in boots a while ago and saw that Barry M have tried to do a high street alternative. This is the flawless light reflector concealer, the only thing I would say about this is that it claims to be total in perfection cover. This is I don't really agree with, this is because it's very light and very brightening so it's great under the eyes but not for spots. You can pick this up from boots and superdru

top 5 nude lips

Top 5 nude/ neutral lips  My first one is probably the most expensive of my five and it's the Clarins instant lip perfector. This product is kind of light a natural gloss which a slight colour. The scent of this product is just amazing it smells like vanilla and I just love it!! Like I said before it's the most expensive one at £18.00. My next one is from maybelline and if you saw my post earlier in the week then you may have already seen this but this is probably the most bold colour of the five but still very wearable. This is the maybelline colour sensational in petal pink. I really like this colour because it's not quite matte but it so nearly is. My third one is from rimmel and it's called nude pink. Shade name wise I think that this is quite disappointing as a nude pink I think of being a your lips but better, however this lipstick has quite a orangery undertone. The finish of this lipstick is quite glittery and glossy so
