My Monday Must Haves - My Guide to Surviving Monday

Poor Monday. Everybody hates her. Wether you have had a super busy weekend, to a chilled out relaxed one, eventually Monday comes back around. This usually means back to school and work for most people.

If you are like me and suffer from the dreaded Mondayitis, then I have a few things that are sure to get you through one of the most difficult days of the week! These are not all beauty related, but in order to look your best, I think you need to feel your best! 

Firstly COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE! This is an absolute must have for me and prevents me from being a big grumble guts all day. Coffee helps to refresh you, getting you prepared to tackle whatever comes your way!

I find getting up a little earlier, rather than staying in bed for longer helps too. This avoids the mad rush that can occur when getting up a little later, especially if you have kids to get ready for school!

Music is a great way to get you going. I work from home, so having some background noise on really helps me get going and motivates me to get my work done. Even in your work environment, music can help you power through your day.

If you have a list of things a mile long, then prioritise! There are six other days in the week, and you can only do so much! Sometimes putting something off until the next day can help and makes it easier to cop with Monday. especially if you have had a particularly busy weekend.

Sometimes, preparing things the night before helps too. Getting the kids school bags and uniforms ready, any paperwork that need to be filled out and signed or any other odd jobs that can be done is a big help. This will save you time in the morning so you are not rushing around.

Hopefully these little tips help, just remember we are all in the same boat and Mondays can actually be great!

Current Makeup Routine - May 2017

Today I will just be sharing a quick run down of the products I am using regularly for my everyday makeup look. So if you want to see what I use, keep on reading!


Firstly, I always like to start off with a primer. The one I currently use is the BYS Cosmetics primer spray. It's so simple to use and simply sprays on.

After the primer has dried, I will then go in with my foundation. I am using Maybelline Matte and Poreless at the moment. It is one of my favourite foundations, and really helps keeping my skin mattefied through  out the day.

I the go in with concealer, underneath my eyes to highlight. I am using Maybelline Master Conceal, which is a great product for this step. It is so creamy and blends out so well.

I normally use a powder to set the concealer after this step, and my all time favourite is the Australia fresh and Flawless Pressed powder.

The next step is my eyes, and this can sometimes take up alot of time, depending how I am feeling! My current go to palette is my Morphe 35f palette. I love the colours of this palette, and the formulation is smooth and buttery. My colour combination can very each day, and I love having the versatility of all the colours.

I will the go in with a contour, blush and highlight. I find the Maybellline Master contour is the best for this step. It has a great contour colour, and the blush is a lovely soft pink shade. I love the way this blends out to really create a beautiful contoured look.

As for highlighter, I love using my Mary Lou-manizer from the Balm. The best part about this item is a little goes a long way.

For mascara I currently use False Lashes from Essence. This a a great product for the price. Not only does it define the lashes, it also gives them length. I love using essence, they are amazing products for their price.

My lip products will vary from day to day, but I do tend to stick to the more nude lipglosses.

So I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know what products you like to use everyday!

Talk to you soon xx
