The Business Woman

Welllllll I said I was going to post this about 3 weeks ago but I forgot, but better late then never I suppose! This one is for all those office girls out there! I actually think that the office can be a bit competitive when it comes to fashion, and with around 300 people in my office alone, it can be quite important to keep up appearances! (Although saying this, I don't wear make-up or do my hair for work!) But, I do try my hardest to try and look sharp! I have put together this little blog to try and inspire some of your wardrobes, I know how easy it can be to get in a routine of wearing the same clothes each week!

I have alot of blacks/greys in my work-wear, because to be honest I don't really think you can go wrong, and you don't want to be that clown that turns up in something hideously illuminous. I get most of my work-wear from Next, Miss Selfridges and Primark believe it or not. Always make sure you have a pair of black court shoes in your wardrobe too, these will pretty much go with anything, it can even make the frumpiest outfits look quite smart!

Look 1: This black wrap dress is from Miss Selfridge at around £30, I feel quite sophisticated in it and it looks fine with a pair of black tights for those colder days! 

Look 2: A good pair of cigarette pants are key, I have these in plain grey & black too.. I think these patterned ones for £10 from Primark liven the outfit up a bit

Look 3: My beloved pinstriped skirt. I think pinstripe can be quite dated but this wrap skirt from Miss Selfridge gives it a modern twist

Look 4: Comfort, warmth and a masculine edge. I teamed this cosy polo from New Look with some high waisted pants from Topshop and finished the outfit off with some brogues

Being stylish doesn't have to cost a fortune, check out Primark & ASOS for some bargains.. You only really need a few statement pieces and then you'd be surprised how different an outfit can look by simply changing your top or shoes..

Aloe Vera Drinking Gel

So I think it is pretty clear that I LOVE the Forever Living range and I have been lucky enough to try one of their drinking gel products..

The imparticular product was Cranberry & Apple flavour so not only do you get the benefits of the Aloe Vera, but the goodness of the Cranberry and Apple too. Besides their reputation as a cleanser for the urinary tract, cranberries provide a high content of vitamin C. They are also a natural source of healthful proanthocyanidins. Apple juice contains many flavonoids as well as pectin.

To be brutally honest, it does look a bit log frogspawn and the after-taste takes your breath away at first.. But after a couple of days, I actually started to enjoy it. For the first week, I took half a shot of the gel first thing in the morning, then the final 3 weeks I took a full shot. There are many benefits to these drinking gels but the main difference I found was that I felt more energetic pretty much throughout the entire day. I know on a Monday, the majority of us feel like the world is going to end, but this clever little shot dramatically changed my mood and my manager was pretty happy about that too!

You can drink Forever Aloe Berry Nectar with meals or alone. I chose to have my shot and then a green tea, after about an hour I would tuck into breakfast, which is usually just a banana (how exciting). The delicious flavor is totally natural, prepared from a blend of fresh cranberries and sweet, mellow apples. Added fructose (a natural fruit sugar) sweetens it just enough to please both adults and children alike.
