Lips: MAC - Dubonnet

Nails: OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark

Eyes: Too Faced - Chocolate Bar Palette

In just a few months, my blog will be turning four....four! I can hardly believe it. From what started as a hobby so that I could maintain my creativity has grown in to such a big passion, and a massive part of my life and who I am. 

Keep an eye out over the next few months for a Just Add Ginger renaissance. I am so excited for the adventures to continue, and can't wait to see where 2016 takes me!

Hello

Time for another quick update in the world of Ginger. 

This is something I have been toying with for a while, but with GFC about to be taken away, I needed a few different ways to keep everybody who wants to read my blog updated with the latest posts and snippets of news that's going on. 

If you read my last update post (you can find it here if not), you'll know that I am on Bloglovin', so when GFC says goodbye to the world, I will be reachable there, but with Facebook being a huge social networking platform, it seemed logical to make an appearance there too!

My new Facebook address is: 

http://www.facebook.com/JustaddGinger 

You should see a thumbnail of the picture above when you search for the page. 

I'll post on there to let you know when any new post goes up from my blog or YouTube channel. I'll also post little bits of news or updates. (I know I've been a bit AWOL lately, but I have had a million things going on, and sometime juggling is a bit tricksy! I'll be having time off soon though, so will be back on a more regular basis.)  

I'd love it of you wanted to head on over to my new page and give me a "Like" to stay updated.

Happy Tuesday Everybody!

U is for Unforgettable Moments

U: Unforgettable Moments 

2012-2013 was one of the best years of my life. The opportunities that I have had over the past year have been really incredible, and, because today is "u", I thought now would be a great time to look back over some of the highlights of my year.

In May 2012 I took an amazing trip to USA/Canada. I had only ever been to New York over in the US, so getting the chance to travel around for 2.5 weeks, meet new people, and see phenomenal places was AMAZING!!!

I took part in the Race for Life in May 2012. It was a fantastic day, where everybody taking part rallied together to raise money for a great charity. I went all out last year and was dressed top-to-toe in pink. I even beat my time from the year before, which was a personal achievement!

2012-2013 was an amazing year for musical experiences. 

In 2012 I saw Kyla la Grange live in Liverpool and more recently, I saw Ludovico Einaudi at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic (I wrote about it here.) I had never been to a classical concert before, and seeing him live was a great way to ease myself in. 

At the end of 2012, the LUSH Spa in Liverpool opened. A few months ago, I booked myself in for my first massage there: The Comforter. I was so impressed with the massage, and the spa in general, that I did a really in-depth review of my experience.

I was lucky to have a lot of holidays in the past year. Most recently, I went on an impromptu getaway with Saunders to Amsterdam. It was an amazing 3 days and we crammed so much in to the time we had. I can't wait to go back and explore some more! 

Above all, 2012-2013 was a fantastic year for my little Ginger blog. After a baby-step start, I now am completely in love with what I have created for myself, and can see how much my confidence has grown. Having a blog has given me the confidence to put myself out there. I now have JustAddGinger, a Just AddGinger YouTube channel, and I contribute to two websites! 

I raise a glass to 2012-2013! What an incredible year you were! 

Thank you so much.

H is for Happy Birthday Blog

H: Happy Birthday Blog

My blog is turning 1 year old this month!!

Happy Birthday Blog!!

A year ago I sat down and thought, "I miss blogging." I had just come out of an MA so didn't want to do any intense writing....just a little hobby. Something I could have and write as much/as little as I wanted, and when I wanted. I had started a blog in the past, but nothing really came of it because I hadn't found my voice. This was the perfect opportunity to start up again...I never imagined how much I would fall in love with blogging!

I love having a place to share things with the world: fashion, recipes, writing, beauty reviews.....it's so lovely having a place to come and just write about anything I want, and just escape into a world of Ginger-ness!

I've done so much in a year, and I think this is partly due to the confidence having a blog has brought me....I now write for GeeksUnleashed.me , I have started a YouTube channel, and I'm not afraid to put myself out there a bit more and just be me. JustAddGinger is so much more than a blog....it's my baby, and I really enjoy nurturing it and watching it grow!

Happy 1st Birthday Blog! This year will be SPECTACULAR!!!
