Whether you choose to write a few sentences in a g

Whether you choose to write a few sentences in a gratitude journal or simply take a moment to silently acknowledge all that you have, giving thanks can transform your life!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Research has shown that regularly expressing gratitude literally changes the molecular structure of the brain. Gratitude boosts neurotransmitter serotonin and activates the brain stem to produce dopamine.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are some other benefits.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💖 Gratitude improves physical health. According to a 2012 study grateful people experience fewer aches and pains and report feeling healthier than other people.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💖 Grateful people sleep better. Writing in a gratitude journal improves sleep, according to a 2011 study. Spend just 15 minutes jotting down a few grateful sentiments before bed, and you may sleep better and longer.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💖 Gratitude enhances empathy and reduces aggression.⁠⠀
Grateful people are more likely to behave in a prosocial manner, even when others behave less kindly. Study participants who ranked higher on gratitude scales were less likely to retaliate against others, even when given negative feedback. They experienced more sensitivity and empathy toward other people and a decreased desire to seek revenge.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💖 Gratitude increases mental strength. For years, research has shown gratitude not only reduces stress, but it may also play a major role in overcoming trauma. A 2003 study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that gratitude was a major contributor to resilience following the terrorist attacks on September 11. Recognizing all that you have to be thankful for —even during the worst times—fosters resilience.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There are lots of ways to increase your gratitude. Whether you choose to count your blessings in a gratitude journal, or you decide to share your appreciation with others, take a few minutes to cultivate gratitude. Feeling thankful can be the simplest, and fastest way to improve your life.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So let's start now! Comment below what you are grateful for today!⁠⠀

How I spent my birthday yesterday! Drinking Prosec

How I spent my birthday yesterday! Drinking Prosecco, zapping my face with my new @mynuface mini /land reading the new novel from my absolute fave @mattzhaig
Now I have a bit of slap on and attempting to go out for dinner in the middle of a pandemic...

When texture looks amazing but feels weird.....⁠

When texture looks amazing but feels weird.....⁠
This water droplet Balm from @e.l.f.cosmeticsireland looks like and feels like whipped butter! I can't get my head around it, its such a bizarre texture. I don't thnk I like it.⁠
⁠
Luckily, I received it as a free gift. I always order my products from the website as the price is always better, theres always great deals, discounts and free gifts like this! ⁠
⁠
Whats your favourite product from @elfcosmetics?

Happy Friday! Time for #friyayfaves with the gorge

Happy Friday! Time for #friyayfaves with the gorgeous @the_glow_girl.⁠
⁠
This is the cleanser I reach for when my skin is having shity stressful day and nothing will make it happy!⁠
⁠
Using the wrong cleanser can further piss off already sensitive skin by drying it out and irritating the skin's barrier. If your skin is in a shitty mood stay away from foaming cleansers and instead try creamy or balm types.⁠
⁠
The @eminenceorganicsirl Calm Skin Chamomile Cleanser key ingredients are Chamomile (surprise surprise) which is proven to calm the skin, Rosemary and Arnica extract which are soothing and also an antioxidant All together they help your skin calm the f down and keep it relaxed.⁠
⁠
I'm a big fan of @Eminence products and their business values. Did you know they plant a tree for every product bought?⁠

A little #watershotwednesday Anyone tried The Or

A little #watershotwednesday
Anyone tried The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics? It’s one my favourite The Ordinary products (yes I know I have many!)
Similar to hyaluronic acid it attracts and holds on to moisture. But is much light in texture. It literally feels like water!
It contains skin-friendly marine bacteria, Hawaiian red algae, Glycoproteins from Antarctic marine sources, micro-filtered blue-green algae and several health-supporting amino acids.
You don’t see an immediate hydrating/plumping effect but very quickly you notice skin seems more hydrated. This is excellent for skin which is dehydrated but oily.
Because of its thin watery texture it’s always one of the first serums I apply after my essence and it soaks in straight away. I use it most days and nights as it gets along with everything.
And like most thing from The Ordinary it has an amazing price point. Can you really go wrong for €7!!??!
I’m also on the hunt for a new superstar HA serum so leave your recommendations below.

Happy #MaskingMonday ! Can't believe its the last

Happy #MaskingMonday ! Can't believe its the last day of summer, I do love September though as it's my birthday month!
I've chatted about the benefits of clay masks on previous posts but they can leave your face feeling super dry. And if left on too long you risk drying out your skin and stripping it of your natural protective skin oils.
A hack to prevent this happening is to mist your mask ( I love the sound of that, can we make it a hashtag? #mistyourmask) do this a few times over the ten minutes you have your mask on to prevent it drying out completely.
Remember, your face mask is supposed to help your skin, not hurt it.
