Ireland 2013

In August, I went to Ireland for the first time with my fiance, Rory and his family. We stayed in a place called Louisburgh in County of Mayo. I had a fabulous time and we were really lucky with the weather. It was lovely to go away and just relax and not have to worry about anything. The house that we stayed in was beautiful and had wonderful views of the mountains and the sea. I thought it would be nice if I shared a few of my pictures with you.

We usually had the beach all to ourselves!

Have you ever been to Ireland? Have you ever climbed Croagh Patrick?

Lost In Lipstick is one! Giveaway!

Yesterday, Lost In Lipstick turned 1! I'm sad that I didn't manage to blog on the day but I've been super busy and tired since starting back at work. In 2012, I had been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while as I loved reading blogs and spent a lot of my time reading beauty and fashion blogs. At the end of August, I decided to bite the bullet and create a blog. I spent a few days brainstorming ideas for blog names that weren't used and came up with Lost In Lipstick. Then on the evening of Wednesday 5th September, I sat at my computer and typed my very first cringey blogpost! I am so proud of my blog and what is has achieved so far. I love blogging and the blogging community. Every single blogger that I have spoke to online or met in person, at events or meet ups, have been lovely and I consider you all friends.

I want to say thank you to every single one of you that has read my blog, followed my blog and commented on my blog. You help to make my hobby so much more enjoyable. Also to all the people that follow me on twitter, Instagram and talk to me on there. It's not about the followers but I can't deny that it doesn't make me smile when I see I have a new follower or a new comment. There is so much more that I want to achieve on my blog and I hope Lost In Lipstick is still here in many years to come. In the past week or so, I haven't blogged a lot as I started back at work but I have printed a blog planner to help me set up a routine and become more organised with my time. I look forward to the next year and what it brings.

Week 35


Domino's Two for Tuesdays // Soft egg noodles with chicken, sugar snap peas and bean sprouts in a black bean sauce // Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner courtesy of Boots points // Naughty Subway // Addiction to Pretty Little Liars // Beautiful Lilies

Hi Lovelies,

I've not really done much this week. It's been my last week before I start back at work tomorrow and to be honest I just wanted to do nothing! It's unbelievable how quickly six weeks has flown by. I'm glad I managed to blog everyday before I went to Ireland. I really loved blogging everyday and I will miss it when I'm back at work. I'm disappointed that I didn't keep up with that once I returned. I still love blogging but I appear to have lost a little motivation to do anything recently. Maybe starting back at work, will kick my arse into gear!

One thing I have been doing a lot of this week is watching Pretty Little Liars. I decided to start watching it on Friday and it has grown into a full on obsession. In four days, I have watched 29 episodes! I love it and because they use such great cliffhangers, I just can't help but click on the next episode. I am absolutely loving the show and I cannot wait until I'm up to date with everyone else, which at this rate, won't be long!

What have you been up to this week?
