Beach Essentials ☼ | Shann0nRenae X Tripping.com


Hi everyone! Long time no blog!

For this blog, I got the opportunity to team up with Tripping.com. Tripping.com is a super awesome site which helps you to find cheap holiday rentals in places like Florida. Recently I've been dying to go on a holiday, and seeing this site made me realise that they can save you so much cash, which can be used for spending money 😉. 

Tripping.com got me thinking what my essentials are to bring to the beach or on a tropical holiday. 


1. Sunscreen / Tanning Lotion
The amount of times that I have gotten extremely sunburnt at the beach is getting to be ridiculous. I never forget it now. Please make sure that you pack sunscreen or tanning lotion as, I can't stress enough how much you will be in pain for the next few weeks and, of course we want to avoid skin cancers. I usually use SPF 50+ just to be that extra bit covered and tend to lean towards waterproof sunscreen. Stay safe! 

2. Some Cute Bathers
Of course after the health and skin safety, I go straight towards what cute bathers I should wear. My go-to is from Seafolly Australia which you can see to the left on Gigi Hadid. Obsessed.

3. Book
A book is necessary for me to bring. If I don't bring one I get really fidgety, get bored and want to leave. Usually I go to the beach with my boyfriend and he loves to stay there for a while. So, to help past the time and not annoy him, I need to pack a book. The book I was reading this Summer was the Khloe Kardashian, "Strong Looks Better Naked", which I highly recommend.

4. Earphones
Again a must! Once I get too bored of the book I'm reading, I am looking for something else to occupy me! I love listening to music while on the beach. However, I don't like disturbing others beach day, so I opt for earphones. Something about listening to music on the beach just makes you feel so happy and amazing!!

5.  Sunglasses
Hello. I need to talk about this. Sunglasses. Are. A. Must. Why you might ask? When tanning on my back my eyes get super sore from the sun, so UV protected glasses are a must for me. Usually I wear my glasses all the time on the beach to protect my eyes and when tanning it is sunglasses + a top/shirt on top to protect my eyes. I am always about protection especially with my eyes.

6. Water
Being on the beach for hours can really dehydrate you. I like to bring a 1-litre water with me to sip on and keep hydrated. I also like to drink a whole other bottle when I get home just to be extra safe!

7. Fruit
Fruit is a essential. There is nothing better than Summer fruits on the beach. Mangoes, Watermelon, Oranges, Grapes and Apples are my favourites. 

8. Cover-Ups
Just to be a little more safe I always like to bring a cover-up. Whether that is a casual tee or a beach dress, I like to have that option to cover and protect my skin if I'm at the beach for a long period of time. 

9. GoPro
I am obsessed with making videos. If there is any opportunity to make a cool video or get a cool photo, my GoPro is onto it. If you are always at the beach or travelling, I highly recommend GoPro's for that reason.

10. Snorkel
My boyfriend and I love snorkelling, we could do it 24/7 if it was possible. I've always snorkelled with my family on holidays and I think that is where I got obsessed with it. I love seeing fish and other creatures and using my GoPro to record videos. I think there is so much peace in the ocean life. I love it. I recently made a video which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw8mRxjYis0

I hope you enjoyed reading through my beach essentials, and I hope this helped some of you who are entering Summer really soon.  Make sure to check out Tripping.com if, you are looking for cheaper rentals for an upcoming holiday! 

Much Love, 
Shannon xx

1. WINTER WONDERLAND



2. GROOVIN' ROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE




3. NEUTRAL NUTCRACKER



4. CLASSIC XMAS



5. WARM & JOLLY

Christmas Gift Guide 2016 | Shann0n Renae



Hello everyone, 

It's that time of year again... Christmas!! Christmas is my favourite time of the year, but it can get really confusing with what to gift everyone!!

So, I've designed a list that may and hopefully inspire and help you with what to buy your loved ones this year!


Her:
1. Gift sets: Gift sets from places like Mecca and Sephora will really satisfy the makeup lovers. There are so many from brands like Too Faced, Benefit and Tarte for example. You can even find some mini gift sets if you don't want to splurge too much money.
2. Organiser: An organiser or diary for 2017 is the perfect gift as the year winds up and we begin another one! There are so many diaries to choose from. I know Kmart have some luxury looking ones for really cheap or you can get a more expensive and nicer one, the choice is really yours! Another idea is a fitness organizer or weekly planner, I really like these because it can help people be organised and motivated.
3. Polaroid Camera: Polaroid cameras are great, I've wanted to get my hands on one for a really long time. I also love how they come is so many colours, so that you can personally choose a colour specifically for that special someone. Another great thing about Polaroids is that they can capture memories to keep.
4. Fluffy Slides: These damn fluffy slides. These slides are everywhere and are such a trend at the moment. I LOVE AND NEED. 
5. Calvin Klein Set: Something that I am obssessed with is my Calvin Klein set. They literally have the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn ever. If you're stuck with ideas, a set from CK would be the way to go. 


Him:
1. Go Pro: If you have a bit more money to spend on him this Christmas get him a GoPro. GoPro's are seriously so great for anyone and can be used for anything. It's definitely on my list.
2. Watch: A special watch for someone is always a great idea. And, they also price differently, depending on what brand or style you want to get. They are also such a practical gift and, of course your boy will love it.
3. Branded Underwear sets/socks: Boys love this stuff! A really nice set or underwear or socks like Tommy Hilfiger or Calvin Klein, can make him feel super special. Boys don't really splurge on big brands for underwear or socks, so this would be a great present idea.
4. UE boom: Portable Speakers are also really handy to have. UE Boom is the brand I recommend to everyone. They are so easy to transport and have great sound quality and battery power. UE Boom also have 2 different styles that you can look into depending on your price range.
5. Pen: If you want to get your loved one something a bit more special, a really nice pen is the way to go. Hugo Boss have some really nice ones, and I'm sure there are many more brands that can fit into your price range. Pens are always handy and can be a bit more special to use one that has been gifted.


Unisex:
1. Fitbit: Fitbits are great for everyone. Especially if they are interested with becoming fit for the new year. There are also so many styles and colours for everyone and one that could possibly fit the budget. I got my mum one last year and she loved it.
2. Suitcase: Suitcases are great if you are heading off on holidays soon. Such a great idea to buy your loved one a new suitcase and maybe even fill it with a few travel essentials!!
3. Headphones: Headphones are always a great idea... Enough said.
4. Fragrances: There are some great fragrances out there, even some unisex ones like Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 or CK2.
5. Portable Charger: Super great for those people who are always on the go. Portable chargers are always good for those tech geeks or busy workers. 


Handmade:
1. Coupon book: Always super cute if you are on a budget. This is also great if you often get bored with your partner, just pull out the book and use a coupon!! 
2. DIY Photo Calender - I think this is such a cute idea to give someone special in your life. You could even do this with all your gifts! It's also a great idea for a last minute gift!! Here's one that I absolutely adored -  http://indiecrafts.craftgossip.com/2016/01/04/diy-instax-photo-calendar/
3. Bath Bombs: Believe it or not, bath bombs are actually super easy to make. There are so many recipes on Pinterest which will help you out with creating your own!!
4. Dream Catchers: Such a gorgeous and personal gift for your friends. You can also make it really personal and special for them. It is also a really great gift idea if you have forgotten a present and need to get one ASAP, without it costing too much.
5. Coffee Scrubs: AMAZING GIFT IDEA. It can also be used for anyone. Again there are so many recipes for this and if you make a big batch and just package them beautifully, it can look like you spent loads of money and time for those special people. Also really great as a last-minute gift which isn't too expensive.


So, there is a few ideas for gifts that you can get for your loved ones. 

Hope this helped! And Merry Christmas!!

Much Love, 
Shannon xx

KABI BOTTLES X SHANN0NRENAE




Hello Everyone and welcome back!!! 

Yes, yes I know it's been a longgg time! But honestly, I have been so so busy with Uni and work and I just haven't had the chance to sit down and write a blog post. And obviously I don't want to rush a blog post so I decided to wait until now for when I can put 100% into it.

So I was lucky enough to get in contact with Kabi Bottle and got to receive 3 of their bottles, just in time for the Summer approaching.

 I was also lucky enough to get an awesome discount, which is at the end so stay tuned.

Honestly, I have never found a better bottle in my life and it's crazy to say that...

This bottle is a super bottle.

I got the 3 colours that are available now, Lavender, Mint and Blueberry.



I love the stylish look and sleek design of the bottles. Ugh they look just heaven!!

 I gave the Blueberry one to my boyfriend to try and he said that he has had never ending compliments on how these bottles look.

These stainless steel bottles keep drinks cold for 24 hours, and I'm not kidding literally 24 hours.. Me and my boyfriend couldn't believe it.

Along with that they are:

  • 100% BPA free
  • Double walled, insulated and vacuum sealed
  • Recyclable (HELLA YEAH)
  • Condensation free (HECK YESSSS)
  • Environmentally Friendly (YAASSS!!)
  • And obviously sleek n fashionable 

I can honestly say that I have been through my fair share of water bottles and these have impressed me so much, that I literally don't think I'll ever need to buy any other brand but these.

I can't tell you how speechless and impressed I am over these bottles, it still blows my mind hahah!!

The retail price is $39.99 but, I teamed up with the lovely people at Kabi Bottle to get my followers all a discount!!
It is SHANNON20 for you all to get $$ off your Kabi order!


Make sure to follow Kabi Bottle on all social medias:

TREND ALERT: Neckties & Chokers | Shann0nRenae X TajaAus


Hello beauties!!


I've been wanting to touch on the latest choker and necktie trend but, I haven't had any time to get around to it!! SO, in collaboration with TajaAus, I am proud to bring you this post.

Before we get straight into it, I would love to tell you all about a new little series called "TREND ALERT" that will be running on my blog. It will be featuring fashion and beauty trends, how I find them and whether they are worth the money. ▹ If you have any recommendations on what you would love to see in this series please leave a comment below!

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

I swear everyone and their mother have been wearing chokers and neckties recently, and it has become a huge trend in fashion.

Recently, Perth girls created the brand @TajaAus where they started their own necktie and choker brand.

I love TajaAus because, their chokers and neckties are super affordable, they are handmade, Australian owned and are unique. The other bonus with TajaAus is that the neck ties and chokers are almost customisable, with ranging colours and options of the detailing in silver/gold, making it super easy for you to purchase exactly what you want.

I have pictures below of the neckties and chokers that I was lucky to get my hands on. And right at the bottom of this post I will list each products link.

I love these chokers and neckties and have been wearing them so much. They are so comfy and at the price they are listed as, definitely a must have fashion statement.












I hope you all enjoyed reading this post 
I am working on a YouTube video on how to feature chokers and neckties in an outfit lookbook.

Much Love, 
Shannon xx

Sexy Summery Lingerie Look & Essentials | Shann0nRenae x Adore Me



Hello all and welcome back to my blog,

I was recently contacted by Adore Me to put my spin on a Sexy Summer Lingerie Look and take part in their latest project #sexysummerylingerie. It got me thinking about what makes me feel sexy and confident in the Summertime. So, I decided to also add in some essentials that would match perfectly to this look.

As we are in the complete opposite to Summer in Australia, I found it pretty hard to recollect what summery look I should go for… For this look, I decided base it around the Lavender Purple colour of this bra. For me personally, I’m not too keen on much colour. Hence why especially in summer this was a good decision as it can be worn under any coloured clothes to make you have an extra boost of confidence. 

For me feeling sexy, is looking classy. I love any lace on bras and I feel that lace just adds a sense of sexiness and classiness to a bra too. This bra is quite cute with polka dots which makes the bra feel more stylish, as who doesn’t love a few polka dots?? Also head to this page to check out Adore Me'sBras and Panties page.

I love the idea of pearls, sparkles, heels, makeup and a nice fresh scent to keep me feeling good. Wearing these things boost my self esteem immediately and make me feel super elegant.  

Head over and follow Adore Me's Pinterest to stay up to date with new content and for you guys to gain more inspiration!!

Pumps are my favourite style of heel to ever wear. I wore these silver ones from Zu, last year to my ball and I am forever trying to find another special occasion to wear them. I love the glitz and classy feel to these and they made me feel super sexy that night. Whenever I need to wear any sort of heel in the Summertime, these are always my go-to style.

I looooveee pearls!! Pearls can enhance and chic-up any outfit. I love wearing pearls within the summertime because they are white, light weight and go with any outfit.

Makeup is one of my most favourite things in the world. I live for it. And I obviously couldn’t do a flat lay without a piece of makeup in it!! It makes me so much more confident! I decided to add this Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara because it is waterproof and super duper long lasting (believe me). Obviously mostly in Summer you need/want waterproof mascara because it’s super hot and you’ll either be sweating or jumping in the pool later. So therefore, it’s and essential.



Scents are the most important thing to me in Summer. I want to be smelling good all the time (especially in Summer) and so, I had to include one of my most recent purchases, Gucci Guilty. I feel like this scent is quite mature and different to all the sweeter scents I usually lean towards. Usually in Summer, I am wearing sweet and fruity scents but if I want to feel sexy, I will lean towards a more mature scent like this one.

Last thing, is a notebook. In Summer especially, I feel way more active and I am always coming up with heaps of ideas. I am always carrying a notebook in my bags because I will think of things in the most random moments aha. I love this one because I need to have a little sparkle somewhere to make me feel sexy and confident. 

So there you have it, my #sexysummerylingerie and essentials. I hope this helped a few of you to embrace your inner sexiness.

And leave me a comment below telling me what your summer essentials or, lingerie picks would be!

I hope you enjoyed this blog :)

Much Love, 
Shannon xx

All Time Favourites ‣ | Shann0nRenae


 ‣ Hello again!

Today I wanted to share my favourite products EVER with you all! I've included some beauty products and just miscellaneous products too! I'm so excited for you all to see what products I've been loving for so long, hope you enjoy!!


Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub ‣ This has been one of my favourite products for years! I've been through so many of these containers it's ridiculous. I love this products because it is such a good exfoliant for the face and body. I usually use this once a week to get rid of all the dead skin on my face area in particular. It leaves my skin feeling so smooth and fresh afterwards! Highly recommend this one!

‣ You can get it here.


Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub ‣ I am obsessed with this product! Most people surely would've heard about this product as it's probably one of the most talked about products from Lush. I use this once a week or before a major event just to make sure those lips are looking luscious. This basically works as an exfoliant for your lips.

‣ You can get it here.

Bondi Sands Tan Foam in Dark ‣ When am I not talking about this product! This is my favourite tanning product ever. I love the smooth application of this product, which it doesn't leave you looking streaky and how it looks afterwards, the colour is so natural so it doesn't leave you orange!

‣ You can get it here.

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation (Matte + Poreless) in 220 ‣ I love this product! I was actually recommended this by one of my good friends, Taylor. I have quite an oily face and I have quite a few pores. I find with this product that my pores disappear and I'm not having to powder my face constantly throughout the day to keep it looking matte. I love how this products works with my skin!

‣ You can get it here.

Kara Eyelashes in S4, 415 ‣  Omg. These eyelashes are life. I'm obsessed. They are super duper cheap too! I love how these are such quality for the price and they look amazing. The 415 are amazing, I love these for festivals and events where you want your eyelashes looking on fleek. The S4 are a great lash for everyday use, I love using these for day events where you want a little bit of lash but not too much.

‣ You can get them here.

White Mimco Purse ‣ I got this a few years ago for my birthday and I've used it ever since. I love white so it goes perfectly with every outfit. I love just chucking it in a bag or using it on it's own. I don't know how but it fits so many things for such a little purse! This is perfect for clubbing or everyday use. I am never without it!

‣ You can get it here.

Belt from Princess Polly ‣ I love this belt! This belt is the best to chuck on an outfit to spice it up! And it was a pretty reasonable price too for such good quality! I am forever wearing this belt.

‣You can get it here.

White Pumps ‣ Not going to lie, the main reason I got these is because Ariana Grande was rocking them all last year. But I've grown to absolutely love them! They are so comfy and make any outfit look so classy. These are probably my most worn heel out of my collection.

‣You can get it here.

Mac Velvet Teddy ‣ Who doesn't love this lipstick. This is Mac's most popular product ever since Kylie Jenner was seen wearing it.

‣You can get it here.

Mac Ariana Grande Viva Glam Lipstick ‣ This is quite a recent purchase for me but I had another lipstick in a similar shade for Sportsgirl - Runaway which I used to wear constantly but it is unfortunetly not being restocked ever. But because the Ariana Grande one is so similar I decided to add this in!

‣You can get it here.

Mac Lipliner Boldly Bare ‣ I love this lip liner! A lot of people tend to lean towards Spice or Whirl but I prefer this one. It is quite a natural shade for my lip colour and it look so natural on. I love wearing this on it's own sometimes just because it's a beautiful shade!

‣You can get it here.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians ‣ This is undoubtably my favourite TV show in the world. I love the Kardashians of course and so do many other people! I think they are amazing, and any opinions on them can remain your own. But I love them!


So that is all for now! I hope you enjoyed this blog post! And I hope to see you all again soon.

Much Love,
Shannon xxx
