This Is New Look| Summer Style

Who doesn't love a cute couple of bardot tops? I must say they have been ruling the fashion scene this Summer! So since returning from Italy and Fueteventura with a lovely Summer tan, I have been desperate to get some yellow and orange tops into my wardrobe. So whilst snooping on the New Look website, I came across their new #ThisIsNewLook campaign which is an interactive platform for customers to share their New Look buys. Not only is it a good way to show off your new outfit, but it is also a great way to get inspired! So here are the outfits that I will be submitting (ooh if you do submit a photo you will be entered into a £200 giveaway!).

Outfit 1: Yellow Ruffle Trim Tie Strap Colour Shoulder Top, Grey High Waist Super Skinny Jeans

Outfit 2: Influence Blue Stripe Bardot Neck Top, Grey High Waist Super Skinny Jeans

Soap & Glory Ten-tation Gift Set| The Ultimate Girls Night Set In For £20!

Now I must admit, I love my regular dose of Soap & Glory (I honestly think that if S&G were something sweet, they would most definitely be candy floss). If you have been following this blog for sometime now you will know that I am utterly obsessed with the Original Pink range- it smells fresh, sweet, revitalising…. it basically leaves you wanting you to bite your arm off. This Sweet Ten-tation Gift Set marks the tenth sensational year of Soap and Glory and it contains all of what you would possibly want out of S&G; something for the body, face, lips, feet, hands (it is the ultimate girl night in a tin). So sit back, relax and pamper yourself girl (we all deserve it once in a while)

Firstly I am going to start this post off with something that I have never tried before. The Face Soap & Clarity Vitamin C Facial Wash is one of the dreamiest facial washes that I have ever used. It smells just like the Original Pink Range and it has jojoba scrub beads and super- tasking vitamins, minerals and amino acids which leaves your skin feel ultra clean. It is also a 3-in-1; it cleans, purifies and smoothes- my facial routine has never felt so easy. Scrub Of Your Life on the other hand is a body exfoliator which is thick and foamy and leaves your skin feeling lovely and buffed. It also smells like the Original Pink Range and contains some super moisturising ingredients.

Ok let's talk about getting 'buttered up'. Heel Genius, Hand Food and The Righteous Butter are the perfect trio to hydrate your parched skin back to life. Personally I never go anywhere without Hand Food in my handbag (did you know that it has marshmallows in it!?) and once a week I always smother my feet in Heel Genius, pop on a pair of bed socks, and wake up to some seriously hydrated heels. The Righteous Butter is one of my favourite body moisturisers ever, and you can check out my full thoughts in a recent blog post (click here to read it).

Clean On Me Shower Gel has featured on this blog many of times, so you can read a detailed post on that by clicking here. But mainly I really want to talk about is thus Original Pink Body Spray because girl, it pretty much  saved my skin in Siena. So when I went to Siena (Italy) two weeks ago, every day it was around 36 degrees and I was honestly melting like a lolly pop. So being sweaty and not smelling so fresh didn't exactly mix well with me, so popping on this Original Pink Body Spray for a quick 'pick me up' was honesty one of the best things ever. Not only does it make you smell as good as stepping out of the shower after using Clean On Me Shower Gel, but it is also ever so cooling on the skin! Smelling and feeling fresh has never come so easy!

Soap and Glory makeup is an underdog and I really do need to voice its amazingness. Sexy Mother Pucker Lipgloss in Candy Queen smells purely of cocoa butter and its lip plumping technology leaves you lips feeling lovely and tingly (the colour of Candy Queen is also perfect for an everyday lip gloss). Thick & Fast Mascara has a brush with a V-groove to lay down volume and intensity which combs and curls to add definition and drama. It also gives a collagen coat which wraps around the lashes giving a flexible and a lengthening hold. This mascara also contains 'no flake' technology too!

What are you favourite products from the Soap and Glory range?

Much Love

My Beach Abs Routine & South Beach OOTD

This time of year I love updating my Summer fitness wardrobe; the sports bras are out and a few investments have been made into a few good pairs of shorts. Any excuse to show off a bit more of my Summer tan ey. So in combination with this sweet workout outfit from South Beach, I have also incorporated a much requested Beach Ab Workout Routine. This is one of my videos that I shot out in Fueteventura and I cannot wait for you guys to check out the rest of them!

With the UK weather currently being a yoyo, I mean, one minute there's a huge heat wave reaching over 30 degrees and the next it's tipping down with rain, my fitness wardrobe definitely needs to be in check for both occasions. These Mira Monotone Letter Print Fitness Shorts teamed with the Spirit Back Detail Strap Cropped Top is the perfect outfit to choose in order to stay cool this Summer. I personally love how loose and comfortable the shorts felt whilst working out and I am also smitten with the 'criss cross' design on the back of the top. South Beach currently have a new fitness range out  and you guys miss definitely should check it out if you are wanting to add a little extra TPC to your fitness wardrobe this Summer (so check it out by clicking here).

My Beach Ab Workout Routine (click here) contains a number of simple exercises which will help you tone up your tummy and it can be done pretty much anywhere (no gym kit required!). It's a routine that I have been following for a while now and it is perfect for beginners and for those who have been exercising for a while. Be sure to leave a thumbs (if you liked the video of course) and subscribe to my channel.

My Choker/Necklace Collection

Hola! So with a huge WIFI glitch last week at my hotel in Fueteventura, you may of noticed the fact that I haven't been able to post! But I am now back, ready, and armoured with some pretty amazing content for you all (no really!). I also want to thank each and every one of you because Eltoria has hit a huge 15,000 subscribers on YouTube which is crazy! So without any further delays, let's get right into today's post.

Above: Forever 21

Just like a classic fashion victim, I am currently in love with chokers (and I am not ashamed to claim that I actually bought six in one week). There’s just something about wearing a choker with a bralette, tank top or a simple tee- they just have that ability to make any outfit look extra stylish . Originally all I wanted to wear was a plain black one, however since shopping in Accessorize and Forever 21, I have since become obsessed with a little emblem. So in preparation for #Summer2016 I have expanded my necklace and choker collection. Do let me know in the comments which ones you like (if I am honest with you I am having trouble in choosing!).

Are you loving the choker fashion obsession at the moment too?

Gym Versus Sports Support Bra

Given that we are now heading into the Summer months, I have been recently been giving my Gym wardrobe a little revamp (click here to check out my latest post). Gymversus was brought to my attention by my coach James Whipp who is an athlete for the brand. If you are wanting to purchase some general black/white gym kit without paying a high end price, then this brand is perfect for you. Not only are they good products but they are extremely stylish in the sense that they have the bold 'GYMVERSUS'  logo and also offer loud styles like the cameo leggings. If you are wanting to purchase a few items, James had a 10% discount code: JAMES10.

So I purchased the Gym Versus Sports Bra and it is honestly one of the most comfortable sports bras that I have ever worn. Not only does it feel fab on but it also goes with pretty much anything (like these Physique Apparel leggings). Definitely worth the buy and I shall be getting more Gymversus gym wear very soon so watch this space.

What do you make of this brand?

Much Love

Feel Unique| Exclusive Peek At The Moomooi Range

Firstly let's all take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous artwork on these products- hello Summer vibes. Feel Unique have now introduced their new and exclusive limited edition accessories collection and for you lucky Eltoria readers, I managed to grab myself a box to share with you all. Feel Unique teamed up with the very talented Fashion Illustrator Meredith Wing to turn these everyday beauty necessities into beautiful and unique accessories. If you love everything to with fashion (even viewing the odd fashion sketch now and again) you will seriously appreciate this Moomooi range. So with my two trips to Sienna and Fuerteventura just around the corner, these items are sure fit for a fashionista to go travelling with.

Personally I would have to say that the phone cases are my favourite (they look amazing against a white phone). Fortunately my work phone is an iPhone 5 and I am due to pick up my iPhone 6 next week, so both of my phones will be matching! Hooray. What I love about the Flat Kabuki Brush is its Paris design and rose gold top (err love!), it is also very versatile and can be used to blend in your bronzer or blusher.

The patterns on these bags and card holder... (jaw dropping emoji). These are absolutely stunning and  I really cannot wait to show them off in Italy (I just feel that they are fit for purpose there). I'm going to be using my Travel Wallet for when I go travelling and place it safely in my really cute mini Ted Baker bucket bag (click here to check out that post), and the Makeup Bag and Tote Bag to keep my Summer make up and beach wear safe away from the sun and sand.

What's your favourite piece out of this new and exclusive Feel Unique range?

Much Love

New YouTube Challenges| Dirty Water Balloon 7 Second Challenge & The Mouth Guard Challenge!

Again, Chip Daddy and I never fail to make a mess every time we film a video together (and this time we made a HUGE mess). On my channel we filmed the 'Dirty Water Balloon 7 Second Challenge' (click here to watch) which meant doing the '7 Second Challenge' and if either of us failed to get the question right in 7 seconds, a water balloon went over our heads... with a catch of course. There were around 6 water balloons which contained some nasty stuff: mustard, gravy, coffee, ketchup... you name it, it was in there. It really is worth the watch (if you fancy a giggle) so be sure to check it out by clicking here.

We also filmed the Mouthguard Challenge (click here to watch) on Chip's channel where we had to eat a number of things whilst having the mouth guards in our mouths, sounds easy? Oh it so wasn't. I don't think I've ever been filmed or even photographed with the amount of druel that seeped from my chin, it is literally impossible to eat or drink with them in. We couldn't stop laughing and I reckon you guys will too, so go and check it out by clicking here.

If you liked the above said videos, be sure to check out some of our previous videos together:

Fr12day Post: 12 Ways To Lose Weight

With Summer vacations coming up, it is no hidden lie that we all want to look our best. Whilst I highly disagree with crash diets, you can lose weight naturally by changing a few things in your life. So in this quick Fr12day post, here are a number things that you can do in order to shift a few pounds:

1. Quite the obvious, move more
Introduce some exercise into your routine, for example walk or cycle to work rather than driving. Join a gym or even go for some leisurely walks in the evening. Anything is better than being a couch potato!

2. Portion Control
Limit your portions- don't go stacking your plate up high! You can control your portions by eating your food on a smaller plate or invest in some portion control tools (like measuring spoons and cups).

3. Cut out drinking sugary drinks
Drink fresh water and replace coffee and tea with green tea. You'll be surprised on how quickly you will go off sugary drinks.

5. Avoid processed foods, eat as fresh as you can

Cook your meals from scratch and avoid ready made meals- there's a tone of sugar in them!

4. Eat a high protein breakfast
Boil an egg or include low fat cottage cheese and nut butter into smoothies- it tastes delicious! A high protein breakfast will help you remain full which consequently means less snacking!

4. Drink Plenty of Water
A hydrated body is a hydrate mind!

5. Interval Training
Do a HIIT workout, this burns off a tone of calories!

6. Get Plenty of Sleep
You won't end up tired to work out!

Above: Check out my 'How To Get Summer Ready' post by clicking here

7. Invest in a Waist Trainer
Waist trainers are know to suppress hunger and also firm and tone your stomach.

8. Take supplements if needed
There are a mixed opinions around fat burners but they are an option if you are eating well and exercising regularly. They will not work on their own.

9. Invest in a new fitness wardrobe!
If you are anything like me, fitness clothes seriously make me go to the gym. So invest in a good gym shoe and go and show them off girl (or boy!).

10. Set Realistic Goals 
Setting up a target weight/or goal will seriously motivate you to get into good shape (maybe pin up a picture of Michelle Keegan on your fridge).

11. Eat less but more times a day
Eating smaller portions 4-5 times a day will help to increase your metabolism.

12. Get support from family and friends
Maybe exercise with a friend or go for a walk with a family member, this way you can encourage one a another!

What do you do in order to lose weight?

Much Love
