As I embark on the final year of my twenties (how did this happen) I have recently taken my skin care regime up a gear, that means no using baby wipes to remove my makeup EVER, even when I can’t be bothered and keeping up with regular facial treatments.

Packing is always a challenge, I can just about make a decision on what I am wearing tomorrow let alone how bloated I will be & what I will feel like wearing in a weeks time.

So we have reached chapter 2 of 2016 and although dry January is out of the way & I would normally be falling off the wagon into old habits, the fact that I am gonna be wearing a bikini very soon is enough determination to keep me going!Eeeeeek!
