I MOVED!
So. It's all done! Im moved in to my new flat and I've finally let the cat out the bag on where Im going to be living in my latest vlog. Which you can check out over on my channel and above in this very post. I'll be posting daily vlogs on my vlogging channel for a while just so I have someone to talk to so I dont slowly go insane and I quite like the fact it's documenting my journey into solo living.
To be honest Im really scared and excited in equal parts. Scared because Im worried Ill miss having people around me all the time and the comforting feeling of not being alone in your house. But excited for the fact I can keep my space clean, store all my things and generally have space to live and work without the two being sat right on top of each other.
Now I've spent my first night alone I cant say this. I can totally see this being a challenge for me. I've basically left my whole life behind and dropped everything I've known for the past 4 years in London to move to somewhere completely new where I don't really know anyone. Starting again is bloody terrifying BUT Im so motivated to try something new and experience something else for a bit. Im a very spur of the moment person and although I've been talking about leaving London for the past few years, But now that I actually have I feel like maybe I'll regret it so to spite myself Im determined to prove myself wrong. Im so bloody stubborn!
Tonight at 5pm Im uploading my empty flat tour and I might post some of my vlogs as posts on here. Im really hoping to get normal programming resumed soon but Im also going to V at the Weekend so it's going to be a bit of a hectic one!

How to make your summer tan last until Christmas
This is an easy read, peeps, and it's just to deliver one quick message for those of you either living in or visiting America. Buy Jergen's Natural Glow Gradual Self Tanner for the face and body. Make it the first thing you do when you get to an American drugstore. Don't believe all this hype out there that you absolutely must spend £50 or $50 on a self tanner for it to work properly. Sure, there are some cool new tanning techniques coming out, which I absolutely love and know work, but when it comes to maintaining my summer tan (that I've developed by facing the sun - sue me!) I swear by this stuff and have done for about six years. I have zero affiliation with the brand, I just truly adore their product. Basically from late August until December I'm working hard to keep the white skin at bay by using this gradual tanning product line all over, post shower. And you know what? It actually works, it smells good and it's truly the only gradual tanner I trust not to turn me orange or leave me with weird streaks.
So here's how I get the eternal summer tan: After washing my face at night, I use the Jergen's face daily moisturizer so that I wake up with a healthy glow in the morning. It's truly magical. Enough said there. As for the Jergen's gradual tan body moisturizer - I apply post shower in the morning, so that it has a full day to develop. Just dry your hair while it's drying - done and done. You're golden, literally. Yeah, you gotta love how that little play on words came together.
Now get out there and make that summer tan last!
