The Arbonne Opportunity

Hello lovely people!

After considering it, I thought this platform would be best for explaining to you The Arbonne Opportunity because it's all the information in one place and easily accessible - Facebook posts can get a bit boring after a while! First of all I want to tell you about about Arbonne - Arbonne was developed in Switzerland in 1975 and became a reality in the United States in 1980. Arbonne products are extremely popular in the States and are becoming increasingly recognised in the UK too. Arbonne products are vegan certified, gluten free, natural and all based on botanical principles, which are shared throughout the world by a network of Independent Consultants. Arbonne have a range of products including, skincare, haircare, cosmetics, baby care and nutritional care. Arbonne products are not only great for you, but shared through a network of great people, Arbonne offers a unique opportunity for everyone.

The Arbonne Opoortunity is for everyone (providing you are 18 or over!) and the main goal is to share how great the products are to as many people as you can. This is not about sales - this is about word of mouth. Hard sales aren't going to get you anywhere at Arbonne it's all about just aiming to getting people to switch from what they are using now to Arbonne. It's as simple as that! I know what you're all wondering, how much money do I earn? What's the pay cheque per month? There is no limit to how much you can earn at Arbonne - you get out what you put in. So basically, this business is all about being willing to try new things and getting other people to too! 

If you chose to become part of the Arbonne Opportunity - whether it be as your main job, your second job or even just a bit of money on the side - you WILL enjoy it and you WILL love the products. It means you will always have something to fall back on, and also Arbonne is a upside-down pyramid company which means there is no "big boss" and everyone can be as successful as each other. The only way is up with Arbonne - and there are loads of benefits and incentives along the way which keep you motivated and success driven. 

When you work for Arbonne - you will never feel "alone" in your business, Arbonne will provide you with lots of training, networking and marketing tools to help you along the way. Also your sponsor is never going to just chuck you in the deep end - they will always be your go to person to talk to about any problems or queries you have. In this case - your sponsor will be me and I will help you with everything you need to know! 

Now for the technical stuff - to join Arbonne you pay a joining fee of £56 and this is the only money you will have to pay towards your career at Arbonne. And I know what you're thinking... this seems like a lot of money and some people can be seriously put off by it but believe me you won't regret your decision to join Arbonne and becoming part of a network of great people. Plus I can guarantee you will earn that money back in your first start month - you just have to be motivated and smash it. 

To all of you out there that are a bit daunted by becoming an Independent Consultant and are more just interested in the products, you can browse all of the products if you click the "shop now" button at the top of my page or just click here and it will take you to the Arbonne website - also if you want to know anything at all about the products or have any queries etc then feel free to email me at sophie.haydon@norsa.co.uk or message me on my Facebook page here for any information you want.

Valentino Fall 2015 RTW

Hey guys! I've given my website a complete revamp and I am ready to start blogging again, I deleted my Instagram account and stopped my blog a couple of months ago because I had a lot going on at the time and had to focus on that - but I am back and my blog looks 10x better! It's been very rainy in Bristol this past week so I have been sat racking my brains about what I can post - I have decided to do a runway review because it's fun doing the research and I am always very passionate about the collection I choose.

As you can see i've chosen Valentino Fall 2015 - surprise surprise! Valentino happens to be one of my favourites designers and i'm not sure i've ever seen a collection i've not completed loved but I was particularly taken by this one. Now, Valentino's collection usually have a very cultural feel to them - they're usually very unique - you could tell one of Valentino's pieces just by looking at it! But as I first glanced at this collection I noticed that he had gone for a very monochrome, simple look. Don't worry there is also still colour and detail in the collection but I was taken by the black and white elegant pieces. Vogue have described the collection as refined, exquisite, poised and elegant and I must say - I have to agree with them.

I've chosen my favourite pieces from the collection so I hope you enjoy :-)

WISHLIST // Lazy Oaf

Hi guys, i've made a new Wishlist featuring the latest collection from Lazy Oaf. They are my newest favourite brand online, not as affordable as missguided etc but the pieces are absolutely amazing! Of course i'm still the queen of wearing all black but the cool graphics and block colours that Lazy Oaf design are becoming my new love! I feel that this brand are so different to most and have some really unique products and style of clothing. You can search all of the products here but I have just chosen a few from their most recent collection. My favourite thing about these pieces are the vibrant colours and graphics that make them so different from clothes you find in the high street stores.

I'll start with the oversized blouse in the bottom left which you can find here! It's called the "Inky Drip" shirt, I absolutely adore these shirts because they can be worn in so many ways, tucked into high waisted jeans, as a dress or just as a cover-up. This shirt is £65 which I know many seem excessive but as I said before the prices are high because of the quality of the clothes. As you lot may know, checks are very in at the moment and they make it unique by adding the "Drip" graphics to the shirt in pastel colours - which you all know I am a fan of! 

Above the shirt is a gorgeous cropped graphic jumper which you can find here for £65. I love this because it is one of my favourite colours, pink! And of course, it is also pastel which is very in at the moment. It is called the "Do Not Compute" sweatshirt. I feel like this would look great with high waisted jeans (which I live in!) and I also think the cropped jumpers are a lot more flattering on girls than normal fitted ones! 

The gorgeous bright blue top in the centre, you can find here for £40! I love this because it is just so girly and can be dressed down or up. Personally I would probably wear it with white high waisted Joni jeans from Topshop but if you're more of a skirt girl, that would be good too! It is called the "Lipstick" cropped t-shirt. 

The other blouse to the right is another of my favourites purely because of the gorgeous pastel colours and it also has black involved so i'm all for it! Buying one of these shirts is probably going to be a bit of an investment for girls my age but I feel like it would definitely be worth it because, well, look how bloody beautiful they are! You can find this particular blouse here for £65 and it is called the "Pastel Brick" shirt. 

Saved the best till last, the oversized t-shirt hiding in the top right corner is called the "Dollar Bill Yo" Jersey and you can find it here for £40. I love this so much just because it is so me! I would style this with lots and lots of gold jewellery and Reebok trainers! Definitely going to have to buy this when I get paid! 

• The Cat-Eye Quay Kitti sunglasses you can find here for £25. 
• The Internet necklace you can find here for £18. 

Also, just to add, I recently purchased a top from Lazy Oaf that I feel was complete out of my comfort zone but I noticed it in the sale and thought "why not"! It is called the "Hound Dog" top, it is part of a two piece but unfortunately they are out of stock on the skirts. It has now been reduced right down to £18 and you can get your hands on it here.  It looks like this: 

Please take some time to check out the Lazy Oaf website! Also don't forget to follow me on Instagram here!

MY WARDROBE // Triangl Underwear

So my latest favourite is my new underwear set from Triangl from the very lovely PR girl Emma Simms. I've informed her many times that she is my new best friend and I love her dearly! I was in a massive dilemma of which type of underwear set I was going to go for but eventually settled with the non-padded mesh style as I have small boobs and feel like that they are more suited to girls with smaller breasts. You can find my particular set here for around £30 (45 USD). I feel this is reasonable considering the quality of the underwear and how comfy the set is! I have a new found love for non padded bras just because they are so comfy and look great with nipple piercings (which I need to add to the list of piercings that I need!), I haven't actually taken any photos with the set on because i've just been SO pale and I wanna take photos where I don't look like a ghost! You can view all of the underwear sets that Triangl have to offer here, I do really want to invest in a set of the other style because they look gorgeous too! Make sure you take the time to have a look at Triangl and some of their pieces, I know it may seem expensive compared to the high street stores but honestly it really is worth it because of the quality of the underwear and I guarantee loads of girls will be jealous of you if you snap a set on Instagram! Remember to follow my Instagram here and email me with any questions about anything!

MY WARDROBE // Reona Cleated Platforms

So today I received the most gorgeous pair of bad ass shoes to add to my collection from the lovely people over at ShuSole - click here for the website. They are huge 6" strappy sandals and they are absolutely perfect for just about everything! Of course I teamed them with my skinny black jeans and a plain black halter - they are a statement shoe so you don't want to distract any attention away from them! You can find them here on the website for £33.99 which I find really reasonable as they are basically Jeffrey Campbell look alikes! To top it off they are really comfortable which is an obvious bonus when you're trying to walk around elegantly in 6 inches! This particular pair also come in a variety of colours such as pink and white. Please take some time to check out the ShuSole website for gorgeous shoes at reasonable prices! 

Also sorry about the really awful, unprofessional pictures recently but I haven't had any nice "backdrops" to match my style at the moment so it's easier to just take them myself in the mirror - so I do apologise! Enjoy! x 

MY WARDROBE // I'm still here!

Hello everyone, I thought I better do a blog post to let you all know i'm still alive i've been seriously neglecting my blog recently which isn't good at all, i've just finished my exams so i'm a bit more free to blog stuff now! So I have definitely gone back to my old ways of wearing black ALL the time, I promised myself I wouldn't but there's just something about all black that says "i'm a bad bitch" ha ha ha my new motto is "if it's not black I refuse to wear it" (well, I like white clothing at the moment too!) - the monochrome trend is forever going to be my favourite. 

So I just haven't had the time or the good weather to do any professional photos recently but I feel mirror ones work just as well and represent my personality more to be honest! I picked up this mesh crop top in Topshop for only £12.00 and i've absolutely fallen in love with it, I love wearing small black crops and tight black jeans at the moment! You can find it here on the website. It's quite plain so you can pretty much wear in with anything! The shorts I think I have mentioned before, I bought them a while back so I doubt they are still in topshop but they're a really simple panel design so i'm sure you can find them elsewhere! I got sent a lovely little package from Junk Love - they don't have a website as of yet but that is the link to their Instagram. They sent me an assortment of 90's style scrunchies which are perfect for my inner chav! Ha ha! They also sell really cute co-ords and one-off vintage pieces, be sure to check them out! The scrunchies are £3 each of £15 for 6 - complete bargain compared to American Apparel etc! The pink mesh one i'm wearing in these photos is my favourite because well.. it's pink! and Mesh! Two of the best things to come of this spring/summer... 

The boots are from New Look but I ordered the off of the ASOS website - I think they are discontinued now but you can find black chunky boots pretty much ANYWHERE now! They are essential btw, I expect all you girlies to own a pair of bad ass boots! 

Make sure to follow my Instagram here - enjoy! x 

MY WARDROBE // Mesh!

Last week I took FULL advantage of the 20% off at ASOS and ordered myself this beautiful mesh oversized tee! You can find it here on asos.com. I guess £18.00 sounds quite expensive but it's lovely soft material and also ASOS offer 10% student discount so it's acceptable! It is absolutely perfect for the summer to go over a bikini or denim shorts! Not that we've been having much summery weather! Which is why i'll have to apologise for these shit photos that were taken inside! I also probably should be revising for my exams next week that sat here writing this but ah well! Anyway i've teamed this with my misguided bralet which you can find here (only £9.99!) and some plain black Topshop hot pants. I bought them ages ago so don't have the link but i'm sure you can still find similar ones now! The hot pants i'm wearing in these photos I find are a little too short to actually wear out so I often where them as bikini bottoms instead! The jelly shoes are JuJu and you can find them pretty much anywhere! 

Anyway hope you enjoy and if you have any questions just ask on Instagram or email me! x 

MY WARDROBE // Triangl bikini

I can't BELIEVE i've only just got round to writing a post about my gorgeous Triangl bikini that kindly got sent to me! I think it's because the weather has just been awful in England so I haven't been that motivated. This post is really just for me to write about the bikini and review it - i'm hopefully going to do a more professional post in the summer when the weather is slightly better and I can accessorise it etc. 

So, I got sent the California Coral bikini which is an absolutely gorgeous colour for summer because it's just so pink! I think the black outline that Traingl use on their bikinis are more flattering than other bikinis because they make your body/bikini look really structured and defined - if you know what I mean! The material feels really good quality and is comfortable on your skin, I like the material because it feels different to other swimwear and you can tell it's made of good stuff and is sturdy so you're boobs are going to flop out or anything! (Not that I have any boob to flop out to be brutally honest...) but anyway, i'm really pleased with the bikini and you guys should definitely make an investment for this summer - I understand that they are marginally more expensive than other bikinis from high street stores but it really is worth it because they are beautiful and are bound to last a long time! You can find my bikini here on the website. I've been asked a few times on my Instagram what sizes I chose and I got XS in both the top and bottoms and I find they fit perfectly. 

Let me know what you guys think on my Instagram or comment on here! Oh and apologies for the serious unprofessional photo but it's just to give an idea of what it looks like on x 

WISHLIST // Monochrome

Hello lovelies,

Sorry I haven't posted in ages, just been so busy with school and work etc! I haven't done a wish list in a while so I thought I would treat you to some Missguided, Topshop, Public Desire, New Look and Shade London treats! I've got a bit of a confession, my style has really changed (or gone back to how it was before) these last few weeks so there's not sign of pastels in this post! I'm so sorry but come on everyone wears them now it's getting a little boring so I thought I would revisit the monochrome trend which I famously love and also promised I wouldn't buy any more of - that didn't last long! I guess I just feel more comfortable in less 'girly' clothes - even though I am the girliest girl you will ever meet! Don't worry I still love my pastels but this is more appropriate for me at the moment and I hope you like it too! Also i've bolded my favourites, enjoy x

MY WARDROBE // Nudes

Hi guys, i've been slacking and haven't done a blog post in ages and then remembered I got sent some lovely clothes from FD Avenue! You can find their website here. My favourite piece in this outfit is the fluffy pink cropped jumper - you can find it from FD Avenue here for £18.99. It's a perfect colour for Spring on the not-so-warm days and it's not too thick either so you don't overheat as these fluffy knits can sometimes be too hot. The skirt I actually got from Missguided and it was a complete bargain - £6.49! You can find it here and you can also get it in a variation of different colours. Again also a perfect colour for summer and so comfy - make sure you have some white pants that don't give you VPL though because it's really stretchy and kinda see-through haha! Also I think you should all admire my newly threaded and tinted eyebrows as I got them done today ;-) i've discover that getting your eyebrows threaded is one of the single most painful things ever! If you have any more questions or whatever just email me or comment! Enjoy x

SKINCARE // Liz Earle

So these are the products I use that seem to work the best on my skin. I have fairly sensitive skin so not many products work really well! Liz Earle is a naturally active skincare range and they are a Great British beauty brand - all the products smell gorgeous too!

 

The first thing I use is the Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser - the cheapest one is £13.25 but I tend to get the 200ml because it lasts longer which is £24.75! It is extremely gentle on your skin and leaves your face feeling really soft! You massage it into your face when it is still dry and then using the hot cloth (which you can buy here 2 for £4.25) you wipe it off and then to finish quickly splash your face with cold water to close your pores. Although I don't use it at the moment (but I have before) I would advise using the toner after cleansing your skin - you can get it here for £13.25 - this also leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed! To view all of the Liz Earle daily basics click here.

 

After doing this I use the Gentle Face Exfoliator and you can find it here for £14.00. I use this because my skin is slightly prone to blackheads and visible pores and gentle exfoliators are perfect for this if your skin is sensitive like mine! It also leaves your skin feeling really soft and moisturised. To view the whole exfoliator and mask range click here. Overall I would recommend Liz Earle products, even if they are slightly more expensive than high street brands, the products do actually work and are really good for your skin in comparison to products that actually target spots and blemish's - these can be way too harsh for my skin!

 

Anyway if you have anymore questions do not hesitate to comment or email me and please remember to follow me on Instagram! Enjoy x

 

 

 

 



MY WARDROBE // Amelia Jane London scrunchies

This week I received a lovely parcel of goodies from the girls at Amelia Jane London and you can find there website here - they sell womens accessories! They sent me a lovely selection of scrunchies and an adorable pastel pink pom pom keyring! I chose the pink scrunchie to team with this outfit - the midi skirt was from Primark - only £12.00 and is perfect for summer really light and 'swooshy' haha! The chunky mint green knit is from boohoo and is only £15.00 and comes in loads of different colours - you can find it here. You guys know where the nude top is from from my previous posts - look at them for the link! I look more chubby in these photos compared to usual but I promise you it's the jumper not me!

Anyway I am extremely grateful for my new collection of scrunchies from Amelia Jane London and please please please head over to their website to check out their products! If you have any further questions do not hesitate to email me - enjoy x
