Aspirations

Hello to anyone reading!!

For a while now I have been watching vlogs and reading blogs and it all seemed like so much fun, so I decided..hey, why not make your own?
That is how 'stephanitus' came about :)
I'm happy that I finally decided to make this blog, I consider it a new challenge as I set myself little goals each day in hope that they will be achieved. Posting brings a lot of enjoyment and I feel happy with myself and confident after publishing each post.
If you're reading this post today and do not have a blog, but have always wanted one, I suggest that you take the risk. It's worth it. Let your creative juices flow :)

Happy Blogging,

Hart Of Dixie

Hello!!

At the moment I have become very addicted to 'Hart of Dixie'! If you have not watched the TV show, I highly suggest you check it out :)

A basic summary of the show is it follows Dr. Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) as she moves from New York to Bluebell, Alabama to work at a practise which she soon discovers that she own 50% of due to a will. It involves Dr Hart trying to fit into the community in Bluebell and maintaing her share of the practise, as well as some romantic interests and drama along the way with members of the community.  I don't want to give much away, but it is full of drama, humour and romance (yay!)

Initially, the TV series never really appealed to me, the advertisements would play but I didn't think it would be 'my kind' of show. Nevertheless, it proved me incredibly wrong as I love every minute of it and never want to turn it off!!

So, if you do ever find yourself wanting to watch a new TV series or stuck on something to do, check out this amazing show! It is definitely worth just watching the Pilot episode at least :)


Happy Watching,

'Honesty is the best policy'...

It is true. Although hard for some to grasp the concept of being honest to all, even those who may not treat you right, it is the best way. Being honest keeps you out of trouble and also makes you feel better about yourself (no one wants to feel guilty!) Sometimes people forget this, especially at school, and this can lead to conflict and backstabbing. Always be true to who you are and be honest about yourself; the reward you benefit can last a lifetime :)

Song of the Week!!

Hello Lovely Bloggers!!

Each week I will be talking about my 'Song of the Week'. It may not necessarily be a recently released song, but it is just that little tune that has been stuck in my head and I cannot stop listening to!!

My song of the week this week is 'Little Things' by One Direction, from the album 'Take Me Home!



 I just cannot resist listening to this song! The lyrics, harmonies and soft guitar make it the perfect ballad and can make any girl feel special :)
If you are ever feeling down, I suggest you listen to this song to pick your spirits straight back up!
'Little Things' also shows a much more mature side of One Direction, differing from their debut album, 'Up All Night'. 
If you didn't like One Direction before, this song could definitely change your mind. Directioners will almost certainly enjoy this song, as I myself indeed do!

Happy Listening!

Makeup Tip #1

Summer is fast approaching for us countries in the Southern Hemisphere, but even so, this tip can help to those about to enter into Winter!

Dry skin can be the worst and it affects us all year round, but some seasons are worst than others. 

Protecting your skin against the sun is a major priority as too much exposure can pose health issues. One issue regarding the health of your skin is dryness.

When people think of summer skin, many automatically jump to the conclusion that :
Summer = Oily Skin
That can be the case for some, but for others, too much sun exposure can leave your skin dehydrated and in need of moisture desperately. Thankfully, there are a huge range of moisturisers that can ensure your skin can remain looking healthy and moisturised. In winter, dry skin can also cause us grief, due to the crisp winds our body feels when travelling outdoors.

I have two personal favourites when keeping my skin looking fresh and healthy!! Both a popular and affordable which are bonuses when trying to locate an item, knowing its reliability and also helps with your hip-pocket!

1. Palmers Cocoa Butter: I really do not think that I can fault this product at all! The texture is brilliant and the moisturiser soaks into your skin in no time! The scent is amazing, resembling chocolate, however it may not be everyone's favourite, as I do know of some people who just cannot bear the smell! However, if you want a moisturiser to fix your dry skin, this is a sure hit.

2. Nivea Rich Nourishing Lotion (in Very Dry Skin): After being badly sunburnt on a recent holiday (oops!!) my skin was not only very sore and itchy, but extremely tight and dry. Thankfully, this lotion helped with my soreness and dry skin immediately, soaking straight into the skin and smelling amazing!! I highly recommend for dry skin.

I hope this tip was helpful (it's my first one!) and be sure to look out for more tips to keeping you feeling great all year round!
