NKK . Chapter One

I've blogged before and I loved it... Then I found myself blogging because of pressure and I lost sight of why I was doing it and who I was doing it for - we've all been there and it's a crazy overwhelming feeling. It's easy to get lost in thoughts like "she posts 5 times a week, I'm not doing enough" or "her camera is much better than mine" or "I want to look like her" without stopping to think hang on, I'm a person and I'm awesome too. I did feel lost and like I didn't have an identity but now I've found myself *kumbaya moment* and after dipping my toe in the blogging infinity pool I want to jump in without my armbands.

So a little about me. I've been a Spa Therapist for eight years which I love - I use gorgeous products all day long on people who come to me to brighten up their day and I work with the BEST group of girls. Some of my favourite brands are Elemis, Espa, Decleor, Liz Earle, OPI, Fake Bake and Glamglow. For me, when it comes to skincare you get what you pay for  and routine-wise you get out what you put in.


Make up. Me likey. I'm majorly on the contouring wagon and I will not be getting off any time soon. With make up I mix up high street with high end. NARS is a total favourite - big up Franรงois me old China! Next up I love Rimmel, Benefit, Bourjois, MAC, Sleek and LA Girl. I do casual MUA (make up artistry) outside of work too for friends and family but I'd love to do more.


Fitness, Nutrition and Wellbeing is a major love and hobby of mine. I genuinely love eating clean but I also genuinely love pizza - it's called balance. I go to the gym and practice Yoga. A lot. If by chance you are reading this thinking 'yes, I want to try that' I suggest you check out Yoga With Adriene on YouTube - she's brilliant and it's much less intimidating than going to a class - although yoga classes are not scary I swear. For my wellbeing I love Neom products, they smell ah-mazing and really make you feel, well, yummy and lovely.



I buy way too many clothes and shoes because I love fashion. I love expressing myself with my clothes, hair and make up some days are like a catwalk and others can be more of a 'onesie and Netflix vibe' which is also cool. I'd like to take a moment here and thank the gods of fashion for making wireless bras, trainers and casual tracksuits a thing of the moment. Yes I'll squeeze into a bodycon dress for a night out with the girls but for most of the time life is pretty comfy.

What else can you expect from my blog? It's a running joke that anything I organise/touch turns into a palava but I can laugh about it because my friends and family are hilarious. So I'll share some good little snippets of my life. Laughter is the best medicine :)


PS - I had a spray tan before I left work today to perk me up for the weekend and make me look a little more bronzed and literally within minutes of me getting dressed my whole body had turned luminous green! I totally forgot I was on medication and it can have an impact on the result of your tan so I had jump straight in the shower when I got home. I look a relatively normal colour now thank god. 


That's all for now really. If you have taken the time to read this I'd love you to leave a little comment below or reach out to me on twitter @missnikkiwilson . I love to hear what you like to read about/what you don't like or if we have anything in common. The BEST thing about blogging is the community so get in touch :)
