Self-Discipline Is the Key to Freedom

If you have been to bet how commonly the average character tries earlier than giving up, what would be your bet? 1, 2, or 3 times? The majority of people surrender before they even attempt. They spend so much time intention setting and preparing, that they forget the most critical a part of the plan: discipline. The biggest false impression approximately field is it's far something you have. Actually, the area is something you do. In your commercial enterprise, discipline is shedding habits that preserve your commercial enterprises returned, such as immoderate time on social media and fact television; and constructing up behavior that carries you towards success, including private development, prospecting, and income. Strengthening your self-discipline can be in comparison to building up a robust accept as true with the fund for your future. How some distance are you willing to head to accumulate that agree with the fund? Self-Discipline is a Skill Self-Discipline is not a

Ultimate Glow- High End Illuminator Dupe

Hello everyone,

I am back here today with another High End vs High Street post. This time I am comparing two different highlight-blusher in one products (shimmer bricks).

Personally, after waking up at 6am the last thing I want to be doing is spending a long time on my makeup. Which is why when I see one product that does two things- I get quite excited, glow and rosy-ness? Yes Please!
I am all about that fresh and glowy kind of look, to be honest I think everyone is at the moment. However often I find myself staring at a hefty price tag thinking should I/shouldn't I, often I end up buying the product, and then finding a very similar product for less than 1/4 of the price in a local drugstore like Superdrug. Although I don't necessarily regret my high end purchases because they will be used and loved, however in future I want to ensure that I get info on all the dupes available because really, who doesn't want to save some money?

Now let me just start of with saying the prices. The Collection "gorgeous glow" can be purchased for under £5. The Bobbi Brown shimmer brick comes to £35. Yes. £30 more for virtually the same product.

Here they are:

Collection Gorgeous Glow

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick 


At first glance they both look pretty similar. A variety of pinky/shimmery shades with gold shimmer. The main difference is that the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick is more bronzey looking whereas the Collection one is mainly pink.

Clearly, the packaging on the Bobbi Brown brick is sturdy, it looks expensive, if feels heavy and expensive, it looks very simple and has a handy mirror.
The Collection glow is much more basic packaging wise, it feels like it could break very easily and it does look cheaper.
But...its the product that counts, right?

Heres a swatch comparison (one even swipe of each one):

Swatch


Can you guess which one is which? They both look shimmery, they are both pigmented and they are both very easy to apply.
The left is the Collection 'brick' and the right is the Bobbi Brown.
Now again, clearly the Bobbi Brown product is more bronze and the Collection one is more of a blush colour. However they are both available in more than one shade so other shades may compare differently.

In my opinion, I don't think the Bobbi Brown one looks any better than the Collection one: in terms of swatch/application and longevity. However in terms of packaging this Bobbi Brown one does feel and look more aesthetic.

Personally, I will be sticker to the Collection Gorgeous Glow in future, simply because of the amazing price!

Let me know which one you love or if you have any better recommendations!

GET THE LOOK: the outfit I’ve been loving

Hello everyone, Today we have another different post. I’m not really one who is in crazily fashion but I do love shopping and buying new clothes (who doesn’t?). After finding a new app that I am obsessing over "21 buttons" (follow me: lifeofellabella) I was inspired to share with you one of my most worn outfits at the moment. Primark is the place to be in terms of affordable fashion. The only issue with everything being “cheap” is that you fill your basket “because it’s cheap” and then get to the till and it’s no longer that cheap, anyone relate? Full Look Dont mind me and my awkward pose trying to be a model...(cringing badly right now). Everything apart from the bag is from Primark and I personally think this outfit looks much more expensive than £25 (including shoes). I paired the outfit with these boots, which for me are something very different and out there. I am very much a comfy flats kinda girl but when I saw these I feel in love. They just add something unique to th

The Key to Retirement

Now is the time to consider what all and sundry may do in another way in a new 12 months to help us move ahead in lifestyles. For a few, it's miles operating out. For a few, it's miles consuming less. And for some, it might be saving more for his or her retirement. I have watched many a success people through the years and the only component I see them doing higher than the relaxation comes down to one phrase: discipline. Discipline is an important thing for retirement. Without it, you'll not store enough. Without it, you will spend an excessive amount of what you do shop. And without it, you may maximum in all likelihood not be as satisfied as those who have it. Just consider what you ate over the past weeks. There became in all likelihood multiple days in which you had a donut for breakfast, a cookie at 10 a.M., a heavy lunch with pals, chips for a snack at 3 p.M., a heavy dinner with own family, and a bowl of ice cream before mattress. After all that, how did you fee

The Big Dangers of Belly Fat

Many people want to whittle their midsections to look better and fit into that next-size-down pair of pants. But reducing belly fat brings many more benefits than just aesthetics — you could be significantly reducing your health risks. Although getting to, and maintaining, a healthy weight is important for a number of reasons, belly fat reduction is particularly crucial. BELLY FAT CULPRITS The major contributor causing your belly to get more abundant than you’d like is what you eat, says Dr. David Ludwig, a professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Sugary food, including highly processed fare, can cause a blood-sugar spike that triggers an insulin release throughout the body. Over time, that creates the need for this energy to get stored if it’s not used — and the body’s favorite storage area is the belly. Fat around your midsection can also get stored due to high levels of cortisol, the hormone responsible for your stress response. Getting too little sle
