Hi Kayleigh Romanov's readers, my name is Tiernan and am Kayleigh's Fiancee and I have taken over her blog!
DISCLAIMER: I apologise now for being the new segment on this blog and if my rant offends you. None of my rants are meant to offend anyone, they are for comical and entertainment purposes only!
I've been driving for 3 years nearly 4 and never have I seen bad drivers as much as I have in the last few months. Where shall I begin . . .
Can I remind people that there is an invention in the car called a indicator this is usually located next to the steering wheel. It is located here not for a annoyance but to give people behind and oncoming traffic a bloody sense of where you are going. Did you know that 2 million accidents are caused yearly because numptys don't use a goddamn switch? I mainly find that people leaving roundabouts are the worst for not indicating. I can be in the car happily sitting at a roundabout waiting for a moment to go when the car opposite me is not indicating to go left or right. So I pull out then wham, (great band by the way!!) the muppet opposite me turns left in front of me, and gives me a rude hand gesture as if it's my fault for the clown not using an indicator!! So what I'm trying to say good readers of this blog, is if you drive please, please use your indicators!!
Another pet hate of mine is when a 'tortoise' pulls out in front of you. For example, the road outside my house is a 40mph limit. So I'll be driving along, to then suddenly put the brakes on because some donkey decided they are so much in a rush that they can't wait for me to go past them. That is to much for their little brains to comprehend and as they pull out, there is rarely a thank you! All you get as a reward is now the opposite of roadrunner plodding along at 10 mph in a shitting 40 zone!! Come on now, you were meant to be in a rush or it seemed that way when you pulled out in front of me quickly!
I understand that there is a child or baby in the car in front of me and they'd like me or people around them to drive slowly, which I will add I do. They display a child on board diamond on the back window of their car to say be careful. But what I am I suppose to do when you drive like a numpty, not sticking to the speed limits?! I don't understand your logic? Am I suppose to pull up next to you and tell you to stop driving like a fuckwit because I'm sticking to the laws and rules of the road? However Mr or/and Mrs proud parent still insists to drive like idiots, weaving in and out of traffic or slamming brakes on causing me to break suddenly! Do you want me to smash into the back of you? Especially when you're telling me you have a child on board!!
Last rant of this takeover is that some people park like knobs! Either in two bays or just in one but they are on the line, so that they haven't left you enough space to park. It is very annoying not to find a parking space but to then too find a parking space with a dickhead that has decided to take two spaces! You're driving around the car park to come across a space. You try to start pulling into it but nope there are two wheels already in it so there's never any room for your car or any car to fit into this space! I obviously understand this as the person is driving a Lamborghini, oh no wait it's a ford focus and this person is just a tit.
I would like to add this is all my own opinion and not all drivers are like this on the road. It's just that these are the drivers that drive me up the wall!
If you'd like to see more Tiernan's Rant posts or Fiancee takes over, please let us know!
Adios amigos!
Overthinking is something I struggle with a lot and I'm trying to deal with this. I've come to the conclusion, my anxiety and my overthinking are evil twins, each of them trying to see which one wins my mind, it's a constant battle. Anxiety comes hand in hand with over thinking and sometimes I'd just like to not have to worry about something that I've got my self in a state about, because I've over thought about it. Does that make sense?
There are things in my day to day life and makes things really difficult. Such as plugs being left on or windows or doors being left open every time I try to leave the house even if I'm upstairs and I've left the back door unlocked. I'll over think about situations that might never happen and instead of me dealing with them at the time it happens, I'll over think about it to the point where I can't think about anything else. Sometimes leaving the house is tough if I'm the last to leave. It's easier being the first to leave as I know someone else will lock the house and it's less worry for me. There's not one moment where I've run around the house a few times making sure plugs are off and windows are shut. Then when I'm about to leave, I'll think I've left the spare room window open or I've left the plug in the bedroom with my hair straighteners in the socket, even if I've checked moments before. Leaving the house is also a challenge! I'll be half way down the road and I'll already be over thinking about if I had locked the front door and so I'll go and check again. This can make me very late for things but if I don't do it, I'll over think the situation and that will set off my anxiety. This can also happen at work, if I'm on holiday or just being at a friends house.
Breathing is one of the keys to not over thinking. We breath anyway in order to survive but taking the time to actually concentrate on your breathing really helps. I've learnt that I have to clear my mind of all things that is troubling me. When I feel calm enough, it's time to deal with this situation that I'm overthinking about. Most of the time, I have no reason to be worrying about, I'm just simply overthinking about small things that not be worried about. This works sometimes, I'm not going to lie. It depends what the situation is. Another thing that helps is music, having a playlist of calming relaxing or happy songs. I have a playlist or particular songs that I listen to when I need to try and deal with things, I'll put my ear phones in and turn the world and my mind off. This works the most, there's just something in music that helps me relax and even my fiancee knows when I'm having a down day due to the songs that I play! These things are easy to write down on but are harder to actually put in place. There's been times where I'm fine during the day because I've been busy and my mind has been active, the minute I get into bed, my mind is alive. It's like it knows that I need to sleep but decides to stay up and throw a party of worries!! But that's when the over thinking kicks into over drive and there's been times where I can't sleep for hours, and there's sometimes where I'll have to put myself to sleep using music or the tv! Anything can make me overthink, more so if it's something I can't control or situations I think could happen. That will come hand in hand with worrying about the thing that I've been overthinking about. It's about staying in the present that is the thing I need to focus on. Thinking about what is happening now not tomorrow of a year down the line. Focusing on today is what is important as an overthinker not tomorrows worries. Life can be very black and white and the more I sit and I worry, I'm scared I'll actually miss out on things that are happening now because I'm worrying about tomorrows problems. Simple situations that are very usual or normal or can be sorted easily becomes a rollercoaster of thoughts and worries and turns into a nightmare of overthinking. It's time consuming and draining but life goes on and the most important thing about being an overthinker is not letting it control your life!
Hello Lovlies,
I'm a huge Benefit Cosmetics fan and I'm forever buying their make-up. Not only are their products amazing but their packaging is so cute. If your looking to buy any Benefit make-up, then you've come to the right place! I'm not sponsored by Benefit at all, I just love their products and I need to tell you guys how fab they are! These products that are featured in my blog are the products I love, recommend trying and products I use all the time.
The first product I recommend trying is a Primer. The POREfessional Matte Rescue is one of my favourite primers. I use a primer often and I like the feel of this one on my skin especially if I'm going to wear a lot of make up. The product itself makes my skin feel smooth and it looks clear. It helps keep my make up stay put. Benefit have a range of primers and it's always best to find one that is suitable for your skin. This is one that I am using at the moment and haven't tried before.
This product is The POREfessional: pore minimising makeup. This product is aimed at minimising your pores and is part of the POREfessional family. This is aimed to cover imperfections in the skin such as redness and keeps oil at bay! This is my favourite Benefit product by far and it's good to wear instead of foundation or under foundation. It comes with it's own sponge which can be found on the bottom of the product and comes in five different shades. Always find a Benefit assistant to help you find the right shade for your skin.
I think I've written about Hello Flawless before but this product is simply amazing. This is a powder which can be used for full coverage or used for quick strokes across the face or a quick blend. I literally cannot live without this product and doesn't leave you looking 'cakey' like some powders can do. This product too comes in different shades and again make sure you ask to get your skin matched to the right shade.
Is there any products you love that I've missed off my list?

Hoola lite is one of my favourite bronzers by far. This bronzer is aimed for people with fairer skin and for someone like me who is pale, this is an ideal bronzer for a contour or a golden glow. I tend to use this bronzer the most as it doesn't leave me orange!! This makes my skin looks natural and gives me the glow that I want which looks completely natural.
If I want to make more of a contour to my face then I'd use . . . .
Hoola Quickie Contour Stick!
This product is aimed to give you a more contoured look to your face and is easy to apply. This product is creamy and is easy to apply to your skin and blends easily and leaves you looking natural. It's ideal if you haven't got much time to do a contour.
GALifornia is by far my favourite blusher and how cute is the box! This blusher has a golden pink glow when you open up the product and gives you a nice summery pinkness to your cheeks when applied which means you don't have to apply as much highlighter. It also smells amazing and I was told it smelt like pink grapefruit and vanilla! Perfect for summer!
Dandelion twinkle highlighter is by far my favourite highlighter. Not only is it in a cute box but it also smells amazing and looks amazing on your cheeks. It's to to heavy or to shiny like some highlighters and leaves you with a natural looking glow. It's easy to blend and can be worn with all skin types. This is probably one of the best highlighters I've used and I love the way it looks on my skin.
This is the latest concealer from Benefit and I have to say I'm in love! This concealer covers dark lines under the eyes, redness and any imperfections you don't want anyone to see. This product is perfect to hide it all! It's really easy to apply and blends really well. Again there are different shades so make sure you ask an assistant to help you find the right shade for your skin. This concealer gives your skin an airbrush finish. It's quite light on the skin and feels nice to wear and again doesn't leave you looking cakey. Benefit do have other concealers in this range, this was just the one I decided to try. Each concealer has a different use or coverage and it's always best to see which concealer would be best for your skin. But i would recommend trying this one as it does leave your skin looking fab!
So these are just some of the Benefit beauty products I'd recommend and I'm using. I have a load more but I think that will be for another blog!
Is there any products you love that I've missed off my list?
Any products from Benefit you recommend I try?
Let me know in the comments.
Check out Benefit Cosmetics website here, I know they have a sale on at the moment which I shall be taking a look at!
Till next time
Hey lovlies,
Inside the box was also a Spectrum brush which I love. I have used this brush and again used it straight away. The brush we got was a fan brush which is perfect to apply the banana powder (which we also got in our Glossybox, see next item if your interested!!) I have also used this brush to apply Highlighter on my cheekbones and other areas on my face as well as using it to set my foundation using the banana powder. Love this brush, was one of the best products in this box. RRP is £4.99.
Banana setting power is the next thing I've used from this glossybox. I have to say I had no idea what Banana powder was when I opened the box but with a little reaserch, I came to know what it was. Banana setting powder is something that can be used to set your foundation. Being yellow, the powder is saidto counteract the redness, discoloration, blemishes and dark cirlcles in paler skin tones and if you have an olive or a darker skin tone, banana powder is said to create a beautiful highlight or glow to the skin. I am pale so this worked as a powder for me and after I had put my foundation on, I used the fan brush to apply it. After letting it sit for a little while, I dusted it off. I have to say, I am impressed with the banana powder and I still use this now. RRP is £25.
The next product is Delwash cleansing conditioner. I haven't used this yet so I'm intrigued to what this does. It states that it is to revolutionise your morning showers. This conditioner is full of hydration and is said to clean hair without stripping it and leaving it dry. It suits all hair types and is to be used as a normal shampoo. I haven't used this product yet but I am intrigued by it and I can't wait to use this product on my hair. RRP is £16.80
The last product in the July Glossybox is MONUspa Soothing After Sun Lotion. Again I haven't used this product as I tend to stay away from the sun as I go as red as a lobster!! This product is said to hydrate and cool the skin after being in the sun. It contains vitamin E and shea butter. It is to be applied to the face and body after being in the sun. It states 'Holiday companions don't get more useful than this! '
I'm a little bit late with this review of July's glossybox but here it is anyway. I've actually used some of these products in the July's box so I can give you my own personal opinion.
Before I review these products, can I just say the box is so cute and I'm going to keep this box for sure. I think this may be my favourite box so far! It was the perfect was to start summer.
What was in the June Glossybox ?
The first thing I tried was the hairbands. I was going to work the next day and so I thought I'd use these bands to put my hair up in. The spiral bands hold hair in place and prevents hair from breaking and damaging and also prevents hair from breaking. This can happen if you put your hair up in a normal elastic hair band. I do prefer using the spiral hairbands to put my hair up in as to the elastic bands as I find it's nicer on my hair and also I find that my hair doesn't have that kink in your hair when you take it out. Having layered hair, I have to have my band quite tight (because my layers will fall out if I don't!!), I find that these bands don't give me a kink when I take it down after! RRP is £4.99. I love the colours that I got too, just the right colours to feel summery!

So that's everything I got in my July box and I'm loving everything that I've tried.
I do however have to post this photo of my Fiancee being helpful when it came to taking photo's of the Glossybox. He was so confused to why I was taking photo's of all the products and simply had to add his touch! Thank you Tiernan, not entirely sure that Glossybox will start adding Ice Cream to their beauty box!
I have literally got the August Glossybox. It was delivered this morning, so here's a sneak peak of this months Glossbox! I will be reviewing this box as soon as I've tried out a few of the products!
