Happy Monday morning to you all and I hope you have a fantastic week! In my previous post 'The Year Ahead' I talked about one of my goals for 2015 being to get fitter and improve my general health. As I thought more about it I decided to turn my fitness journey into a mini series on Penneys To Prada as I love reading these sort of posts myself!

Procrastination and productivity, two words beginning with the same letter but have very different meanings. I, as I'm sure many of you too, will own up and admit that when I can, I will procrastinate as much as possible. But lately I've been making a real effort to become more productive and today I thought I'd share with you a few tips!

If I'm honest, I'm not a huge fan of 'New Year's Resolutions'. I never stick to them and January is a month when I want to relax and hibernate, not torture myself by completely cutting out chocolate or running five miles a day. 

That being said I do make goals for the year. I don't set deadlines and if I don't accomplish them by 2016 then it's not the end of the world. I find that with this more relaxed approach in trying to better myself, I actually achieve more. Below are my goals and hopes for 2015!

The Year Ahead

As I was scrolling through Instagram the other day I saw a post that featured the weekly planner and to do list from Penneys above. As I'm in Penneys almost once a week I went and found them on my next trip. Penneys have just brought out a range of stationary and organisation accessories and I'm a sucker for anything that will help me be more productive (I need all the help I can get!) And of course even though I just went in for the two notepads, I came out with a few more bits and pieces!

Lately there's been a huge buzz on social media about the latest skincare offering from Hollywood. Glam Glow first started out with Super Mud and have three other face masks, Youth Mud, Thirsty Mud and Power Mud. They also offer an eye treatment called Bright Mud and in the US have just released a cleanser Super Cleanse.

Today's post is a little different from my usual fashion and beauty posts, but it's something that has been on my mind lately. Last June, I did my final school exams. Saying (or typing) that feels odd because it honestly feels like a life time ago. Some people have very fond memories of secondary school and while I did have happy times there, it just wasn't for me. 

Life After School

The Imitation Game depicts Alan Turing's life, how he came to work for the English government, flashbacks to his life at boarding school and his life after the word. 

As a student of computing, as soon as I heard a film about Alan Turing's life, 'the father of computer sciene', I was very excited. Then when I found out that Benedict Cumberbatch, one of my favourite British actors, would be portraying him, I knew I would love this film.

Today I wanted to share with you all a recent purchase I made that I'm a little obsessed with and I thought what better way to show case a new pair of shoes than to throw them on for an outfit post! Yesterday I took a trip to the beach and while I know it's January and some people will think I'm crazy for braving the freezing sea wind, I think it was worth it for the gorgeous view behind me!

2014 was the year I started to take make-up seriously. I paid more attention to the latest 'trends' and I expanded my collection quite a lot. Today I wanted to share with you my favourite make-up items from 2014. Picking just seven products was actually harder than I expected but here goes!

The 1st of January 2015 not only marked the start of a new year but also my boyfriend and I's first anniversary. As I was just getting over bronchitis we didn't do anything wild to celebrate but I was treated to a night away and a lovely meal in my favourite restaurant.

This Christmas I couldn't think of very much that I needed/wanted, a pretty nice situation to be in but very annoying for my family and boyfriend who were trying to get me presents. The only thing I told my parents I needed was a hair dryer (my old one had given up the ghost) so when I opened that on Christmas morning, I was delighted!
