Last year I wrote 10 things I wanted to achieve last summer. I enjoyed writing that post as it made me want to get out and tick the things off my list. I probably did about half of those things, so I decided to give it another go and here are 10 more things I'd like to do this summer.

1. Eat an amazing antipasti board outside one evening.

2. Go on a day out to the sea side.

3. Spend an afternoon at the park with friends.

4. Use these long evenings to take some blog/outfit photos.

5. Properly tame my hamster.

6. Lose some weight ready for my holiday.

7. Go on more walks and explore my city a bit more.

8. Post some salad or other healthy food posts.

9. Properly sun bathe in the garden.

10. Find that perfect summer lipstick.

Have you got a list of things you'd like to achieve over the summer?

My first date night inspiration was for day dates, something like cinema with possible lunch/early dinner after, picnic, pub after a walk e.t.c. However this post is more for night and evening dates, for something where you might want more of a full face. For me, this is more about the eyes. Light foundation, maybe no blush but a bold smokey eye. My favourite is number 4, the purple smokey wing look which I am very tempted to try for this weekend. 

Which look is your favourite?

I guess this post should really be called 'date day' but that doesn't sound quite right. This weeks inspiration is all about dates with the boyfriend or love interest, but where you don't really need to dress up very much. For example, maybe a cinema trip with lunch after, a picnic in the park or day out in the city.

All of these looks I have picked are easy to maintain, so you won't need to keep topping up, and are simple glamour yet still eye catching. My personal favourites are the looks that keep everything else completely simple and natural, but then a pop of colour on the lips. 

All of these looks were taken from pinterest and you can follow me here

Next weeks inspiration will again be on the date theme in preparation for valentine's day!

What are your favourite looks?

This is the start of my weekly Wednesday posts, which will be all about inspiration either beauty wise or just quotes, sometimes people I'm inspired by and sometimes wish lists.

This week is dark lips. I'm scared of dark lips, my lips aren't even on the top and I think they are rather small. I've only really started wearing red lipstick however one day soon I want to be brave and just try a really dark lip. Maybe one day!
