#ellefluenceoctober

#day23 of #ellefluenceoctober we are sharing what inspires us. If you don't know already, my family are massively important to me and my parents are two people that are huge inspirations! But there is one other person in my life that is a massive inspiration to me. My sister @laura_woods86 is one of the most hardworking people I have ever met. Yes you could say I'm biased because she is my sister but being sisters doesn't automatically mean you will get along. The reason my sister is such an inspiration is because no matter what happens she doesn't give up! She has two amazing little boys and she still pushes herself and works so hard on her businesses as well as doing a part time job in a school!!. I know no matter what I do.. How many times I mess up (which is quite a bit) my sister and my parents will always be there!! Family means everything to me although I sometimes dont show it! Laura you are a great mum the Best sister a woman could ask for and an all around amazing person love you!! . . . . . . @ellefluence #family #sisterlylove #octoberchallenge #sharethelove (at Huddersfield)

#day22 of #ellefluenceoctober My home home is quite small. I have a little flat in the town centre. People ask me all the time if the noise bothers me but to be honest I have got so used to the noises that it's kind of comforting! I love my little space that I can call my own . . . . . @ellefluence #myhome #hideaway #homecomforts #cosyweekends (at Huddersfield)

#day19 of #ellefluenceoctober is to share your favourite Instagram accounts. I have so many different ones but here are just a few. . . . . . @lukefranks1 @simple.symphony @the_wigs_and_makeup_manager @ellefluence #favouriteinstagramaccount #sharethelove (at Huddersfield)

#day18 of #ellefluenceoctober. Time to choose my #favouriteanimal. I have to say my favourite animals are cats and this big softy is kitkat the family cat. My parents got him from the @rspca_halifaxhudds a few years ago and he is definitely well looked after. Chunky monkey. . . . . . . @ellefluence #rescueanimal #rspca #chocolatebrowncat #familypet

Finally. Another passion of mine is makeup. I never used to leave the house without makeup on. I have always loved a good #wingedliner but again, down the deep dark hole of mental health issues we go and I stopped taking care of myself. I recently found my love for it again and I am one month away fro completing a level 3 diploma in Makeup Artistry and @wrmakeupmcr. I am really enjoying be creative in a different way.. From a nice glam smokey eye. To a 1940s woman with half her face burnt off. I just love seeing the finished product . . . . #day17 #ellefluenceoctober @ellefluence #juviasplace #masquerademini #makeuprevolution #skinkiss #bourjouishealthymix (at Huddersfield)

#day17 of #ellefluenceoctober and today is all about things we have a passion for.. This has changed over the last few years and I don't have a passion for just one thing so I will be showing you the #bigthree 😂 First up is reading!! I have always been quite academic but when it came to reading books for pleasure I never really used to do it. That was until about a year and a half ago when I was struggling to find things to do to help take my mind off my anxiety and depression and get out of my own head for a bit. I do love being creative but sometimes that just isn't enough to calm me, but reading takes you in to a whole different world! A lot of these books were gifted to me by authors and publishers and I haven't read them all yet but I am working my way through them (I also have too many to count on my kindle!!) . . . . . . . #quillandlinkbooktours #hobbiesandpassions #bookworm #booknerd #hqstories #bookreviewer (at Huddersfield)

#day16 of #ellefluenceoctober and today is all about #wanderlust Today is my 30th birthday and I do sometimes feel like I have missed out on some things due to my anxiety. Travelling is one thing I feel I have missed out on. I would love to travel to New Zealand and Thailand as well as a few.other countries. Maybe one day in the future. . . . . . @ellefluence #newzealand #Thailand #travelling (at Halifax, West Yorkshire)

#day15 of #ellefluenceoctober is all about looking up. This was a bit difficult. It is hard to know how to interpret that. It's it literal or figurative. I chose literal and as I am currently at my family home this is what I see when I look up. . . . . . . @ellefluence #lookingup #octoberchallenge #familyhome #whereigrewup (at Halifax, West Yorkshire)
