Valentines day and the single woman....

I really enjoy writing random topic posts, because in between all that fashion and beauty there's a little thing called life...

Okay,
You beauties ready....?

Raise your hands here who's single...

*Que all the sexy single ladies

Now, Raise your hands who's in a relationship...

*Que all the gorgeous girlfriends          


What's the difference between both..? Absolutely nothing,
(Well maybe the girlfriends have a massive headache from dealing with their partner a.k.a grown children)

So, Tell me this, Why are most of the single ladies getting down because Valentines Day is upon us...

You won't get flowers..?
Go buy yourself a present to celebrate how amazing you are (and if you haven't realized that yet, start now)

Sexy underwear..?
Stick them on, It'll make you feel good

If you are happy with yourself, You have it all little lady,
A mistake some of us make is thinking We need to have a partner to 'complete' us and an 'in a relationship' status makes life better (are you crazy?!? )

As much as it's lovely to have someone to share things with, being independent and loving yourself first is way more important, so before you start getting down eating boxes of chocolates whilst watching 'Bridget Jones' with one eye and reading 'Men are from Venus, Women are from Mars' with the other,

Take a little look at yourself and remember how much of a great gorgeous person you are, all by yourself..!

Anything else after that....Well that's just a bonus isn't it.. !

Love Debs xXx

                                                                

Hitting one and what's to come...

The reason why I start writing heart-felt blogs at 1am is unknown, but at least you guys know they are sincere words..!

As I said before I'm going to be doing personal blogs from time to time to keep readers up to date on what I'm up to reader-blogger relationship building and all that jazz..! 

So January started off great when I visited New York City...!! Every girls dream, I've been to the city twice before absolutely love it, One of the most magical places on Earth to me (the atmosphere is like something out of the movies!)

Trust me to visit when there's a polar vortex going down haha even with the weather hitting the low minus temperatures still managed to have a great time...

Thanks to any readers that gave recommendations on what to do and where to go..!  Being footsteps away from Jay-Z in his 40/40 club for the closing party of his Magna Carta tour had to be the highlight...star-struck..!

For anyone thinking of going to NY...Do it..! Try get a basketball game in too while your visiting, the buzz is great, 

For me the shopping isn't amazing (Us Europeans are spoilt for choice) but for sightseeing, nightlife and Our favorite Michael Kors bags, it is a must...

Of course the rest of January wasn't that great (you know yourself a few days spent crying in the shower haha) but hey we're onto a new month and Febuary already has put a big Spring in my step....

Firstly The blog not only having it's 1st birthday, but reaching 20,000 fans on Love By Debs Facebook page, Just Wow..! Getting all emotional here's the first 'fashion' post I popped up on my Facebook page...

 

And listen, I just want to thank everyone for all the support, messages, interactions..just everything, and even those of you who may just read things posted and not interact or click on to have a little nosey..thank you..seriously 

And to any new followers that haven't read any of my other posts, I started this blog a year ago and wanted to just do something a bit positive for us Ladies (and some Gents too!) to enjoy, to feel good and of course to share Our passion for beauty and fashion (cute that kinda rhymes) 

Over the last year I've spent any spare second I have working at this blog

(Image of my bed below!!) and really happy the way things are going, 

Starting out I was so afraid of putting myself out there and being judged, and yes I've heard a few things through the grapevine that I didn't even know about myself (amazing what rumours tell you) over the last year but all the good things over power that silliness (and I've grown a thick skin!) 

Think Majority not menority 

(What I'm getting at there is just a bit of advice to anyone thinking about doing something new and taking on a new challenge, do it..! Don't be minding others opinions, they don't matter) 

Have I rambled on enough now...?!?!

Anyway back onto what's coming up soon..

YOUTUBE, Yes I'm currently getting ideas together and setting up a YouTube channel for tutorials, I'm taking my time as one my nerves are all over the place and two I want it to be perfect, Also I'm starting a make-up course to brush up on my skills ( and to give you the best tips!)

WEBSITE

Soooooo excited about this it's been under construction for a bit now, Nearly ready, Can't wait to have it up and running, a playground for beauty and fashion..!

Asos insider,

A dream come true for me to be working with Asos (I've been using any bit of plastic I could get my hands on to shop on ASOS for the past few years) 

Sending lots of love and positive vibes,

Some wrong trends from the 90s

Oh the embarrassment of fashion 'phases' We go through, Here's some trends We should celebrate for not making it past the 90s....

The 'Rachel' haircut, 

Yes it looked amazing on her, Yes everyone went straight to their hairdresser with cut out pictures but my god, Managing short layers was a disaster la Rachel turned to la mullet in 0.5 seconds after leaving the salon...

Dark lip pencil, Pale lip combination

One word, WRONG! 

Over the top shadow 

Covering your lids upto your brows in metallic, glitter shadows, just no..! 

Butterfly clips and braids

Pamela Anderson

Drawn on skinny brows, the makeup, the lips, the over sized fake boobs, the hair... Need I say anymore.....

Fast forward to 2014 what a classy transformation....

Wet n Wild review

I was very excited when I heard the news that Wet n Wild cosmetics were hitting Irish shores,
With so much buzz about the brand online, New makeup, what's not to love..!!

I picked up some of their products in Dunnes Stores, But checkout www.wnwbeauty.com for a list of stockists, Their range is cheap n' cheerful well worth every penny, Here's some of my favorites from the range

'Walking on eggshells' shadow trio,

Easy to use shadow, good pigment and love these 3 shades combined for a nice subtle day time look

'Mega Eyes' eyeliner marker

A long lasting liner, my favorite thing about this product is it doesn't effect false lashes (great news for all you addicts!!)

'Mega slicks' balm stain

This is by far my favorite so far, a lip balm that has great pigment (check out the colour below) and really moisturises lips I'm wearing shade E127

Happy Experimenting :-)

Love Debs

January beauty pick me ups

This month I'm all about pick me ups, You know them little magical potions and lotions that make you look and FEEL better, 

Beauty is only skin deep

Let's start with the basics it's January, And your skin is as dull as the skies outside..So here's some little wonders to get you glowing..!

Face

Dermalogica 

Multi-Vitamin power recovery masque

€43.85

Dermalogica never cease to impress me, this is one of my favourite skincare products, 

an instant hydrating, vitamin boosting masque that injects some colour back into your dull skin, You definitely get your money's worth from this masque, Magic in a tube..

Body

The Body Shop

Body Butter

€18.35

My all time favourite body moisturiser, I have been using this for years it makes your skin feel like silk, and makes you smell good enough to eat (don't try that at home) also a great product to use a day before tan application and during to keep your colour even

I love coconut scent for Winter and mango for Summer...addicted

Hair

Most good health stores

Coconut oil

€14

I get so many e-mails constantly about a good hair mask for dry hair, If you're like me and over process your hair with colour/styling you need to give your mane a little helping hand, coconut oil is a great hair mask, use it on dry hair, I like to leave it on over night but you can just pop on for 20 mins and rinse off, use it once a week and watch the condition of your hair improve
