About me!

Hey Guys!

So today I got discharged from my Psychotherapist, and I only have one more appointment, which will be my finishing up one. This is an extremely huge milestone for me, as I've had mental health problems for over five years; so I thought I'd do an about me post with links to any more social media I have and just some random facts about me.

My Names Bronagh (Huge shock I know)
I was born on September 23rd, in 1995 - which makes me 19

My favourite colour is yellow, but when I say that I don't mean extreme bright yellow, I mean a light yellow, like a mild melon colour, or like the hufflepuff yellow.

I'm also a Hufflepuff! I took the test on pottermore, and a few independent sites and I was so happy to be a Hufflepuff! I currently have my Hogwarts Uniform, minus the robe and a scarf (which I wear constantly) 

I am also a self confessed Fangirl. I adore Harry Potter the most, but I also fangirl over Movies/TV Shows such as Divergent, The Hunger Games, Bones, Greys Anatomy, Hollyoaks, The Mortal Instruments, The Vampire Diaries and SVU. I also adore books by John Green, Elizabeth Chandler and Michael Mupurgo.

I always try to read a book before I see a movie, as right now I'm waiting until I've read the Maze runner to see the movie as I want to have my own understanding of it before I see someone else's. I didn't do this with The Mortal Instruments and I was in confused by some of it at first.
If anyone ever wants to discuss a book series, even if I haven't mentioned it above, let me know! I adore finding new books and my to read pile is huge right now, so I may actually have it!

I also obsessively listen to music. I actually can't sleep unless I have music playing, which is a huge issue with my boyfriend, who can't sleep with music on. I'm also going to two concerts next week; The Kerrang! Tour which will feature one of my favourite bands - We Are The In Crowd and then All Time Low and You Me At Six's co-headline tour. My ultimate favourite band is All Time Low, I even have a tattoo dedicated to them, on my right wrist. It would be my absolute dream to get their signatures, to have them also tattooed onto me, alongside a butterfly tattoo I'm planning for May/June time.
I listen to a lot of Pop-Punk bands and rock&pop bands. I do also like a little bit of Bullet For My Valentine, FlyLeaf or Bring Me The Horizon every so often.

I've been with my boyfriend for nine months now, and I tend to spend every weekend with him. We go on dates and have meals out every so often and he is actually funding my trip away to both of these concerts. We met online and he lives about 60 miles from my house, which isn't all that far as both of us hold a full drivers license. 

I have had anxiety since I was 14. I am currently medicated and I have made extreme progress since then. My anxiety is socialised and this is mainly only around new people, large crowds and strange places. I have learnt how to cope with it, and prevent panic attacks and I consider myself very lucky to have responded so well to treatment. I do fully encourage anyone who thinks they may have a mental health condition to seek help as it is so important to get help as soon as possible to help you get better.

As you can probably tell I adore make-up and hair products. My favourite make-up brands would definitely be Avon, Miss Sporty, MUA and Natural Collection. My favourite skin care brands are definitely Avon, Simple and Clean and clear. And lastly my favourite hair care brands are Herbal Essences, Fudge and Schwartzkopf. I also adore LUSH products and Body Shop products, but 
these are bought a lot less often as they are more expensive.

All the products I mainly own come from these brands, and as you can tell, I like my cheaper, drug store brands. I don't see why you would pay large amounts of money for a product that you can get cheap that works really well.

I'm also on Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram.

Wednesday Night Treats!

Hiya! So like every Wednesday, Today is Wednesday Night Treats! Again this week I don't have a hair product, but I do have a facial scrub I've wanted to try for a while now!

This week’s facial item is - Avon’s Dead Sea Mineral Facial Scrub! 

It’s been in my bathroom for a while now as my brother uses it for his acne, and since I've saw its working for him, I thought I'd try it out. Because of my new job, I've been wearing a lot more make-up than normal and I'm even wearing it more often which is terrible for my skin. 

As my skins really sensitive, this is really upsetting its balance and has caused a breakout along my cheeks, between my eye brows and around my nose. I usually get breakouts between my eye brows because I have to wear glasses a lot, but it’s been made that bit worse by adding foundation, powder and primer every day.

First off, I wiped my make -up off using my Superdrug Tea Tree Facial Wipes (which I'll be talking about more in a haul post/video very soon) I done this so I'd be using this product on a makeup free face and so I could see results much faster (without have to worry about my mascara running)
So I wet my face before applying this to it, which is a pretty obvious step just to confirm that there’s no left over make-up on my face. Then I squirted out an amount just about the size of two peas. 
The Scrub itself is white and doesn't smell much like anything. It’s a bumpy creamy texture and it glided well onto my skin. 

I started off my using it in my breakout zones. I first applied it to my cheeks which are my worst affected area. I instantly felt the little scrubbing partials working on my skin. It’s a proper scrubby feeling when you’re rubbing this in. I rubbed in circular motions to really exfoliate my face.

Next I did my forehead and eye brow area. I used a small amount from the amount I'd squeezed out of the bottle, and applied it in the same way. I got the same feeling that it was really cleaning my skin and removing any dirt and/or dead skin cells. Lastly I did my nose and my chin. I always apply here last as these are the smallest area's I have to cover. I made sure to not miss anywhere on my face or in my nose area, just so I could be sure I had gotten as much dirty and dead skin cells cleaned off my face.

Once I was completely sure I hadn't missed anything I rinsed this off, to make sure I got every little scrubby partial off my face I rinsed for longer than I normally would. 

Once I had this completely off my face, I patted my skin dry and applied my Superdrug Tea Tree Moisturiser (which will also be discussed in said haul)
I saw that my skin looked a lot cleaner and a lot of my spots redness had gone down. This was a complete relive as it was getting harder to cover this properly with concealer. My skin felt smoother, even before I applied the moisturiser which was what I was hoping would happen. I didn't feel any burning or discomfort when using this product either which made me extremely happy. 

Overall this would definitely be a 7.5/10 the product was brilliant, it did exactly what I wanted it to do, but it was rather hard to rinse of in places like the lines around my nose and if it gets in your hair line, it’s not leaving any time soon. However it does what you want it to, which is clear away dirt and dead skin cells, so it’s a strong contender with the other facial scrubs on the market. 

I am now intending to use this once or twice a week or so, just to keep removing any excess dirt or make-up build up and to just keep my face clean and healthy. I also noticed there is a facial mask in the same set that Avon do and that we have at home, so I may try it out as well to see if it holds the same kind of results.


I checked the Avon website to see if this exact product is still available, and sadly it isn't. However THIS is available and I would say its most likely their replacement for this product.

If you have any questions regarding this product, please leave a comment down below and I'll try to answer as best I can!
Thank you for reading and/or liking this post and I should have another up or in editing tomorrow!
Until Next Time!

My New Job!

I thought since I haven't been posting much I may as well tell you guys about my new job. 

I was unemployed before this job, due to my mental health issues, but now I'm on a scheme that has me in a placement for six months, that will also get me a qualification in Business Admin.

So for the next Six Months I will be doing Receptionist work in a recruitment agency in the next town over from me (which is about 10 minutes away). This means I'll be working in a very busy environment, with a lot of people coming and going all day. This means it will be a full on challenge for my Social Anxiety. 

Already I've made huge progress in that I am able to speak to people when they come in and I'm communicating well with my co workers. Its also giving me a chance to work on more simplistic make-up styles and how to dress properly for a "smart casual" work place. This means experimenting with different looks that I wouldn't normally try. I've actually bought skirts! I plan to use both of my new skirts in an OOTD Post soon, when I'm away with my boyfriend over Valentines Week.

Doing this job is really helping me out with confidence, and my ability to work as part of a team. 
I'm definitely not suggesting every person with an anxiety condition goes out and gets a job similar to this, nor am I saying going into the deep end to battle your problem will work, it could have went completely wrong, but it didn't. This could have gone in the complete opposite direction and I could have had an anxiety attack within minutes of starting work, but I didn't. There are times when I'm in work in a state of panic because of the volume of people that are in the same small area as I am, and there are jobs I find more difficult than others due to my anxiety; like the jobs ring-a-round.

On top of this, I am preparing for my week away with my boyfriend to Dublin and London; so soon I will be scheduling posts to go up during this time. Also while I'm away I'll be making sure to take a lot of pictures to do more posts when I get back.

I do promise to try to keep posting as much as I can, even if its a rambling post.
Until Next Time!

Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Facial Wash - REVIEW

Hi Guys! Sorry I've been MIA for so long! I just got a new job and I've been incredibly stressed and over worked and tired so I don't feel like blogging, but I promise to try harder now!

So to make up for all of it; here's a review of a facial wash I bought because my Superdrug one is running out and I like to have my back up ready before I run out! So when I was walking around Asda doing my weekly shopping and I remembered I needed to buy my next one before it did run out. So because I was in Asda were there isn't the worlds biggest selection, I picked up Simple's Spotless Skin Triple Action Facial Wash. I've used Simple's products before and I adore them. As I have extremely sensitive skin  and I react to a lot of products, I knew this would be a good choice.

It was a decent price (I think it was under £10) which just made the decision even easier. So now that my other facial wash is all gone (cries) I got to try this one!

So like always I got up, and went to the bathroom to wash my face. The first thing I noticed about this product is it has micro-beads within it, so you really feel like its cleaning out your pores and leaving your skin so much cleaner.

It doesn't have a scent, and if it does, it isn't very strong which is really good when your using this kind of product very early in the morning. I don't know about you guys, but I can't stand strong smells before 9am, unless its a light floral scent, then I can make an exception.

It is also a clear liquid. I found it lathers very well and with the added micro-beads it forms a rather foamy lather very quickly. It's easier to work with than my last facial wash and it rinsed off very easily, and I didn't feel like any of it was left behind.

After rinsing this product off my face and drying my face, I went on to apply my normal day cream, but I noticed my face wasn't as dry. This was a brilliant sensation as my skin has been getting so badly dry everywhere! Its just been so cold that my skins reacting so badly. I also noticed that my skin looked clearer after using this product, its safe to say this was worth the money. 

I would rate this product as an 8 / 10, loosing two points only because it hasn't cleared up my skin completely but I'm sure with constant use it will eventually. 

If you are looking for a facial wash that is perfect for dry sensitive skin, this is the one for you!

I'll try to keep posting at least once a day. So hopefully I'll talk to you guys tomorrow! I'm planning to tell you all about my miracle hand creme that has cleared up a patch of extremely dry skin on my hands! 

Until next time!
