Life Update - What I Got For Christmas 2021, Hair Glow Up & Transformation - I Got New Hair Extensions & I've Finally Started a YOUTUBE CHANNEL?!

Hey everyone!! I hope you are all doing well and have had a lovely January and start to your 2022. I am here to post a little bit of a life update, and catch you up on what's been happening over the last couple of weeks. As you know I usually post a What I Got For Christmas blog post every year, as they are always so highly requested, however, whilst I was on annual leave between Christmas & New Year I started to think about my dreams and goals for 2022 and I thought back to my 15 year old selfs dream of starting a Youtube Channel. As you know, I've mentioned on my instagram @emmapavier and in previous blog posts that this has always been the ultimate goal of mine, but I've never had the confidence to just go for it! I have written out my What I Got For Christmas posts for many years; 2016, 2017, 2019 & 2020 and I always enjoyed sharing those with you and taking photos of the beautiful gifts I received. However, I would always spend a few days after Christmas watching everyone's Youtube video versions of these posts and loved them - I had a few messages asking me to film a video instead and I thought, what better time to start than a new year.  So, here we are, I started my Youtube channel on the 1st January 2021 and I have to date filmed, edited and uploaded 3 videos and I am so genuinely happy I've now started!!

Christmas Gift Guide For Him 2021 (Different Budgets Under £20-£100+)

Hey everyone - Welcome back to my last gift guide of the year which is for him.

However, this year I asked on my instagram - so follow me there if you don't already @emmapavier and it was highly requested to just focus on for her and for him with a range of different budgets and these gifts could be for your mum, dad, grandparents, brother, sister, partners etc! I hope you enjoy the 2021 gift guide series!

Decorating our first Christmas tree in our first home & I'm back BLOGGING!! ♡

Hey everyone!!! I am so excited to be back blogging, just in time for the festivities to begin. I have so much to catch you all up on, my last blog post was back in May (wow - 6 months ago!) and it was a glow up post lockdown. I think, like many of us, getting back to some sort of normality took a lot of getting used to, seeing family and friends again, having days out and in that process we also moved into our first home together in July - so we've been focusing for the past few months on making it a home and now we're all settled, I've realised just how much I've missed sitting down and typing a blog post to speak to you all, I hope you've missed me too! I have had lot's of requests to start up again. So, I thought - what better post to do than to show you how we decorated our first ever Christmas tree (I know we are early - we actually put it up LAST WEEKEND) and our living room. I'm so pleased with how it looks and I've had lot's of messages asking where things are from - so I thought I could share that in this post, incase you are looking for inspiration too. Lot's and lot's of posts coming your way - including christmas gift guides yay!

A DREAM COME TRUE... I've wanted this for years!!!

 Hey everyone, so I just wanted to write a super quick blog post to share some EXCITING NEWS!!! I have finally treated myself to something I've thought about getting for years and years but never actually gone ahead with or looked into further, just a thought of 'I would love that one day!' and guess what... that day has FINALLY come and I have treated myself to hair extensions. I was so unsure whether to get them or not and started to search on social media to find the right person for me. I came across a page called @emilyjanehair and saw lot's local girls to me going to her aswell and I was just obsessed with how amazing the quality of their hair looked so I messaged her, and I am so grateful I did. I don't know why but I felt so nervous reaching out for information, because I had only ever tried clip in's years ago at School before! She was super helpful and explained all that I needed to know and booked me in for a consultation. (So - take note, JUST MESSAGE THEM and ask for some information - you don't know unless you ask!) After my consultation, I was super happy with everything (including making an instant connection with Emily, she felt like a friend straight away and I knew my hair was in the safest hands with her - which is a vital part for me!) and we went ahead and booked in my appointments and waited for the day to come - I was so excited - this was a real pinch me moment, something I've dreamt of having for years and I'm proud of going ahead and doing it!

Follow-Me Blog: A Self Care Day - Getting My Hair And Nails Done FT. Using The Mini Self Care Treat Box For A Pamper Evening!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I wanted to do a follow-me blog post to share with you a Self Care Pamper Day I had earlier on this week, I'm currently writing this on Saturday evening as it's been a very autumnal raining/cold day! I love reading these type of blog posts to see what people do and which products they use for a lovely little pamper day. So, let's rewind to Thursday I had booked an appointment to get my nails done - and a pedicure, I absolutely love getting a monthly pedicure... it's so relaxing and the massage chair you sit in is a huge bonus! Plus I had my hair booked in to be dyed and cut later on that afternoon which I was super excited about, this is my second hair appointment since the hair salons reopened in July and I'm really impressed with how well my hair has taken to the colour! And lastly, I was very kindly gifted the Mini Self Care Treatbox (AD - PR Product) by the SelfCareTreatBox company who followed me on Instagram and I thought this would be perfect to try out on that evening so I'm going to share everything that's included and what my thoughts are. If you follow me on Instagram @emmapavier you'll of seen my first impressions and unboxing. Be sure to give me a follow if you haven't already as I am posting lots more fashion content there and doing daily stories! Let's get into my Self Care day! 

Fake Tanning Routine using Rose & Caramel Range | Review & My Results

Hey everyone! I am so excited to be sharing this blog post with you all. As you'll know if you've followed my blog for a while now, I have tried my fair share of tans from different brands and reviewed them on here as well. However, since November I have stuck to one brand only which I discovered from an Instagram Blogger. I then checked out the brand's Instagram page and there was so many amazing before and afters and reviews so I decided to order some to try myself! It's safe to say, I'm massively impressed by their range and after testing the majority of their products, I think it's time for a review from myself and to let you know about the tanning range I'm using! (I get asked this question a lot over on my Instagram and have had lot's of DM's asking me to do a post) so what better time to do it, than when the brand themselves messaged me to create a short video of my tanning routine - so I thought I would do what I do best, and write a blog post too and you can also check out my step-by-step video guide on my Instagram highlights and also on Rose and Caramels Instagram story! Now, let's get into the reviewing the range!



What I Got For My Birthday & Bournemouth Follow-Me Blog

Hi everyone! Hope you're well and staying safe. I reached out on my Instagram to ask if people would still like to read my what I got for my birthday and share our trip to Bournemouth which was earlier on in March (before the social distancing and guidelines were in place) and so many of you suggested I still posted it - I hope you enjoy reading this post! I honestly had such a lovely birthday. As you get older (I'm still in my early twenties... but I'm sure lot's of you will relate, it isn't about the gifts, it is about spending time together) I had my family round with my boyfriend and we enjoyed dinner and cake together - it was so lovely and this followed by a weekend away in Bournemouth. We've been to Bournemouth a few times, and absolutely love it!

Hey everyone - welcome back to another blog post, this is quite possibly the most requested post every single year for all bloggers and youtubers which is the What I Got For Christmas post. This type of post is definitely one I find myself reading/watching after Christmas as I love to see what people received, hear about their Christmas day and also get inspiration of presents to get people in the future for Birthdays & Christmas. I also want to say before we get into the wonderful gifts I was so kindly given by my loved ones, that this post is in no way to brag, it is just very highly requested, so I wanted to share it! Christmas is a time for giving (I love this part the most - seeing your family happy is the most heart warming feeling in the world!) and spending it surrounded by your loved ones and enjoying the quality time together, and of course eating lot's of yummy food. I wish pigs and blankets were apart of every roast dinner. I've had an amazing few days celebrating the festive period with my boyfriend and our families. I really hope you enjoy this post, keep on reading to see what I received and an insight to my Christmas.

My Weightloss and Fitness Journey Update | Healthy Lifestyle Diaries Part 2

Hello everyone! Can you believe we are now in September? This year has literally flown by... but the best part of all is it's Autumn which is one of my favourite seasons of the year! I am SO ready for Halloween, Christmas, Vlogmas, cosy nights in, blankets and comfy PJ's!!! Who else absolutely loves Autumn/Winter? *Back to the blog post Em!!!* I have been on a fitness journey since May, mainly focusing on what I was putting into my body and making healthier choices and also cutting out fizzy drinks and limiting the naughty treats and takeaways. I noticed a huge improvement in my skin, and how I felt and looked. So I recently decided to step it up  a gear and I have made such good progress so I want to share my journey (SO FAR as I definitely am not where I want to be yet with you all!) I hope you enjoy my post. If you do enjoy reading let me know and I will be sure to post more!

Follow-Me Blog | Boyfriends Birthday Trip To Amsterdam!

Hello everyone! As you can see from the title of this post, I am going to be sharing with you our recent trip to Amsterdam which we went on at the start of this month. I was thinking about which post to do, to get my blog mojo back... and I thought let's opt with TRAVEL seeing as it's Summer and I absolutely love reading these types of posts to have a think whether it's somewhere I'd consider to visit in the future. Especially places within the UK - We have a lot of beautiful places here which are so worth visiting when you have the time.

So... at the beginning of August it marked a very special day, my partners birthday! We were thinking of how to celebrate, and he sprung the idea on me of going away. We've both had a super busy year so far and hadn't planned a holiday - with me starting a new job in April, it really was at the bottom of my list. Although saying that, I was so up for it and looking forward to a well deserved break. We looked online and found a great deal to go to Amsterdam - we booked our hotel (Holiday Inn Express - more about this later!) and flights we personally go for Easy Jet as it is only a 45 minute - 1 hour flight! We literally had to wait less than 5 days before we flew... it was brilliant, as I hate a super long build up to a holiday. However... it did meant a lot less time to pack and prep for holiday!

Tips For Getting Fit & Healthy For Summer | Healthy Lifestyle Diaries - PART 1

Hello everyone! Yay it's finally time for a fitness blog post - one that you've been requesting so much recently over on my Facebook and Instagram. Today I wanted to share with you what I have been doing throughout May as you've only seen snippets so far! I just wanted to start out by saying I don't believe in the whole 'work hard for your bikini body' mentality as in my mind, and I'm sure most people will also agree - you've already got one, you just need to put a bikini on! However, that being said, I do like to personally use the Summer season as a way of getting myself motivated to working on giving myself a healthier, fitter and stronger body. So, for whatever reason you've found this post - I do hope you find it useful. I am just a regular girl who wants to share what has been working for me, but if you have any advice or tips I'd absolutely love for you to comment them below to help a sister out!

Follow-Me Blog | New Hair

Hi beauties,happy almost-weekend! If you haven't heard, as I think I told all of my colleagues, friends and family that I got my hair done yesterday! And of course, I had to share the experience with you all as it's the first time in 4 years I've done something different.

Follow-Me Blog | Our Trip to Amsterdam

Hello beauties, today's post is quite possibly my most requested since sharing a few highlights of our trip to Amsterdam on instagram, so of course... I'm coming through with that post. I'd love to know, how many of you reading this right now have been to Amsterdam? If you've been before, or it's on your bucket list of places to travel in 2019 leave me a comment below. We went to Amsterdam a week before Christmas, and it was so beautiful and magical at that time of year, here is a photo of our incredible hotel (which we've stayed at twice now) so go and grab a cuppa, and some snacks (healthy if you're sticking to a new years resolution) and enjoy reading about our trip, and some of the best things to do whilst visiting this city. 

New Years Resolutions 2019

Hi beauties, I'm so excited to be writing this post today as I'll be sharing with you what my New Year's resolutions for 2019 are going to be. I wanted to start out by saying, there certainly is no right time to set yourself a goal, or something new to achieve it's better to just jump right in. However, a new year is a time where people can let go of what has previously happened and have a fresh new start so for that reason I wanted to share mine.

Overall, 2018 had both positive and negative impacts on my life, firstly the biggest challenge was in January it was a month of extremely mixed emotions I lost one of the dearest and closest person to me, my Nanny who has influenced my life massively and during the time when my Nan was poorly I applied for a new job at work. I count my blessings everyday I did go just for it, as I was offered the job before my Nan passed and I was able to share my great news with her, she also passed me down her best Parker pen as a well done present. It was a tough time, but also a chance for me to really make the go of something in my life - and looking back on this year - I certainly have done my Nan proud. I celebrated my 21st birthday this year *best birthday to date may I add* - I went on some lovely holidays too. I also had a health scare, I discovered a breast lump which I blogged about part 1(here) and part 2 (here) where I managed to use my social media platforms to RAISE AWARENESS and I was so touched by the response I had by sharing my story. This next one I am so bloody proud of myself for... I saved and brought my new car, an Audi and it's a beauty. I also reached promotions in my beauty venture, I celebrated Christmas with my family from Thailand and Vietnam, and spent some quality time with all of my loved ones this year and lastly... I discovered myself again and I truly very happy and I am so bloody greatful for everything in my life.
