Strut with Stella: Want to Win 2 Tickets?!


So ya'll know how important it is to me to promote body confidence right? Every woman deserves to look and feel good about herself... no matter what! Can I get an amen?! 

Okay so if you're sitting at home with your cuppa cheering at the screen, I've got something super exciting to share with you...

Strut with Stella is a workshop designed by fabulous actress/performer, Stella Pecollo. It's basically all about empowerment... inspiring anyone and everyone to feel confident about themselves. In just one session, you'll explore a bunch of exciting topics including yoga, nutrition and you might even learn a thang or two about makeup and fashion (whoop whoop!) 

I absolutely love the sound of this and I can't wait to get more involved with the Strut by Stella project because as a student/curve influencer I'm all about promoting positive movements that genuinely want to help others with their self-esteem and self-worth as opposed to changing who they truly are. For me personally, I view myself as a child of God and with that I have to accept myself with all the good and bad parts included. I think everybody deserves to experience this self-acceptance and confidence because life is too short to dwell on things we can't change or even if we can change them, why not work on them? Let's not mope around, let's get out there and build ourselves up to becoming the powerful individuals we know we can be! 


Sound good? Well today's your lucky day...

If you want the chance to WIN two tickets to the first London workshop, simply do the following:

1) LIKE the Stella Pecollo Facebook page
2) Post an original selfie with Stella's pic in the background. Make sure you use the hashtag #StrutWithStella and tag the page. The funniest selfie will win!

Competition ends on the 28th of Feb so hurry!

HelpMeOrganics: Bedtime Candle Review

Disclaimer: Product sent out for review purposes, all opinions are my own and truthful.

Hi everyone! 

Today I'm going to share with you a lovely nightime treat that can help you to transform your bedtime routine. If you've been following me on social media for a while, you might be aware that I have suffered from sleep problems for a very long time. At one point, my sleep issues were so bad that I was put on sleeping pills and that was honestly a horrific experience... Today, I manage my sleep issues with natural remedies such as Serotone 5HTP tablets. It's also super important to create a peaceful environment around me in order to relax...

For me, candles make a lovely addition to any home and I truly believe that aromas can be very powerful in stimulating different moods. This 'Help Me It's Way Past My Bedtime' candle (how cute is the name) from HelpMeOrganics was the perfect pick to settle me into bed tonight, especially since I've been down with the flu so needed something extra special. 


Combining ginger, melissa leaf, eucalyptus and lavender, this candle's scent is so soothing. I kept it at a bit of a distance from my bed but it was still powerful enough to scent the whole room. I think this would make the perfect gift if you have a friend or a partner who struggles with their sleep because it not only smells great, but it's also organic, vegan friendly and paraben free. In today's day and age, more and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of parabens (including myself) so I definitely appreciate HelpMeOrganics' formula.

At £9.50 it's also pretty affordable, especially if you're a student like me. Don't take my word for it though, try one out for yourself and let me know how you get on! Use CODE: Manita10 at checkout for 10% off yours! xoxo
