I have been to a fair few weddings over the years to have now understood the do’s and don’ts. You would be surprised how many people don’t follow the “wedding etiquette” when a guest at a wedding myself included. Whilst I am always thrilled to be invited to a wedding, but I often do worry about what I should wear, how I should act etc. After we forget to realise how much time, effort and money the couple spends on their big day, the least we could do is make sure we follow a couple of ‘rules’ if you can call it that. So here are a few tips that I have learnt along the way as being a guest, and also from doing a little research on the web.

This is something that I had previously umm’ed and arr’ed about. Will it affect me getting a job? Will the employer think I am childish or silly for adding it? Will the employer think I am just trying to advertise my blog? These are all questions that ran through my mind, but then I started to look at the bigger picture.

Hair craze's change so often I usually can't keep up, first there was Ombre and now there is Bronde. No that wasn't a typo, I did say BRonde which is basically getting the best of both with a mix of brunette and blonde. Being a dark brunette, in the summer I love the thought of having light sun-kissed hair, whilst still being a brunette - because let's face it, I would look absolutely ridiculous blonde. After having a read of Rosie Londoner blog, I came across a tutorial of her using the L'Oreal Go Bronde (RRP £7.99) kit in Shade 05, this is the shade is suitable for dark brown hair and gave beautiful sun-kissed highlights, I knew I just had to try it.

If you haven't heard of Kiko Cosmetics then you really are missing out. Sadly, if you are a country bumpkin like me and live in the Midlands like me then you may have to travel to your nearest store, or I suppose you could just order online - be warned, you could get a little carried away. Especially as it's SO cheap and they often have a good sale. Win!

Me again! So following on from my previous Girl Talk posts (1: Link and 2: Link) I was waiting for the results from my recent tests and I had attended an appointment in May 2015 with my gynaecologist. This was a follow up appointment so thankfully for me – no prodding or blood tests etc! Woohoo. The gynaecologist asked how I have been and what my symptoms have been like, I started to tell him that not much had changed, I was still in large amounts of pain when I had my periods every few months, I still found it really painful when having sex and my tummy still ballooned up to the size of a house every now and again. He re-discussed my symptoms and that it isn’t normal that I have some of the symptoms that I do, following the ultrasound he found that I have a lot more cysts on my ovaries then when I was younger and he began to explain what this means, as I had never actually been told before.

Let’s face it, your wedding dress is the most important thing about your wedding (excluding actually getting married of course) and finding your perfect dress can be oh so difficult! I remember when I first went to try on wedding dresses shortly after Maz proposed, and I remember coming out of the bridal shop crying, absolutely hating every dress, how I looked in a dress and the general atmosphere of a bridal shop.

My Instagram: @xcewblog

Speaking for myself, but I am literally obsessed with Instagram. I just love being nosey through peoples accounts and seeing the different lives that people live, their personalities through their pictures and seeing their style.

Weddings are usually the most expensive and stressful time that you will have. But they don’t have to be! I am currently planning my wedding abroad, yes I know sounds bonkers doesn’t it! Especially as all my plans will be finalised when I next go to Spain in August – which is quite scary as I get married in October. But I thought for those of you who are planning your wedding (a huge Congratulations by the way!) might want a few tips to help along the way, so I thought I'd share the few things that have helped me along the way.

I am still yet to find the Mr Right of foundations, my skin type changes so often that I always have to have a selection but still struggle to find the one that will suit all my skin needs. When stumbling across Clinique's Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer I just knew I had to try it and put it to the test - for those of you, who are like me and usually avoid the natural/no make-up look in summer then keep reading!

Just look at his face! This is my little poochy Pepe, and this post is a little different but with this hot weather, Pepe is really suffering. Not only because he is wearing a big fur coat, but because like other Pugs and similar dogs, they struggle to breathe in hot humid weathers so I thought I would do a little safety post to keep your pooches nice and cool during this tropical heat wave. Let's face it, why would we want to see our doggies suffer. Especially when they look at you like that! (Couldn't you just kiss him all over his cute little face)

Pandora rings have become a favourite across the globe for their range of stackable rings. They are cute, affordable and have a range to suit every style. I personally LOVE Pandora stackable rings as you can wear them individually, mix and match the styles or stack as many as you can fit on your finger and they will always look amazing!
