Dipping a Toe into the Ocean of Blogging

There are millions upon millions of blogs out there, we are saturated with people sharing stories and opinions on a hourly basis. What clothes to wear, what make up is worth buying or where to go for the best burger. Although my little corner of the internet was started a few years ago, it is only in the last two months that I have invested my heart into it and I am a little shy to say love it. But I never expected anyone to see it.

This last week has brought me some revelations. For a while I felt like I was writing my thoughts down to be swallowed up by the black hole of the world wide web, never to be read, never to be pondered. But I knew that my Nanna who is in her 80s, and uses the internet, reads Pixi Picks and to me that was the only follower I ever really needed. Then something magical happened. I started getting tweets, direct messages and emails from people who had stumbled on my little island, liked what they read and actually took the time to message me. Some of these people have become virtual friends, swapping stories and tips but most importantly offering support.

I have reached a little mile stone, I wish I could personally thank every person who follows my adventures.To some reaching 50 may not be a big thing, but to me that is 49 more people than I ever thought possible. So thank you, you wonderful bunch of Pixi believers for joining me and my wonderful Nanna as I start paddling in the blogging ocean. I hope we can laugh a lot together! 

As a thank you I am running a give away to win a Tom Ford Lipstick (here)

Stay beautiful

Pixi Picks Is Up To New Tricks! TOM FORD GIVEAWAY

People call me the problem child; I’m either moaning about my flat hair, lumpy stomach or spotty skin or spending a small fortune on products that promise to change my world and make me look like Kendal Jenner. When I started my blog I didn’t really know what I was doing or what to expect. It was just a place for me to occasionally rant or rave about some products I had been trying. I have learnt so much from the world of blogging, met some inspirational people and gained more confidence than I thought possible. 

At the beginning I didn't want my face out there for the world to comment on. But as my confidence has grown taking a 'selfie' with friends, beauty products and the occasional animal has shaped me for the better. Thank you for all the lovely comments you leave on my posts they really mean the world!

After a couple of years of not giving my little project the love it deserves I have given it a little overhaul with the help of Baggle Design. So my lovely, wonderful people out there! Pixi Picks has a new look, isn’t it swish?!

To celebrate I have decided to do a little give away. Fancy adding a little bit of Tom Ford worth £40 to your make up bag? 

Well here is your chance!

Tom Ford Indian Rose is my go to nude lipstick. There is just something super lux about adding a swipe of a Tom F over your lips; it just finishes an outfit perfectly. It is also the ideal companion for a smokey eye! The packaging is beautiful with an art deco feel to it, would you expect anything else from Mr Ford? Being my favourite shade, I wanted to share it with one lucky winner.

All you have to do is make sure you are following me on Bloglovin and my social channels (I am lonely!) and Tweet about the giveaway! Simples…..! Oh also, it is open internationally for the readers across the pond -YAY!

Pixie's Picks is Under Construction

There comes a time in many women's lives when they feel they need a little nip and tuck, perhaps a cheeky face lift. We are one of them! Pixie's Picks is feeling a little run down and so we have found an incredible talent who is going to give us a pick me up. I am so excited to show you all I could pee a little! 

So once the new blog is in place I will start blogging regularly, with ten posts just itching to be let onto the web! It should only take a couple of weeks so please hang about and check back! 

I am also planning on running a little Tom Ford give-away to celebrate the relaunch of Pixies Picks, so make sure you follow to be in with a chance!

Speak soon! 

Stay beautiful
