Haul Post

Hey There,

I'm sorry my blog posts have been so slack recently I have been preparing for my upcoming holiday.
One thing that I have learnt is that holidays are STRESSFUL there's so much you have to do/think about.
I'm almost completely sorted now which means I'm finally starting to relax so I figured I'd do a nice blog post to ease myself back into writing.

I'm going to post my most recent haul of some essentials for my holiday:

All of this haul bar the adidas trainers is from Primark and this is what I got:
- A new little handbag with lots of pockets.
- A new purse - this is probably my favourite item in the haul! I'm quite bad in that I never use purses for my money but I figure for a holiday abroad this will be a necessity and this little purse from Primary is so cute!!
- A blue patterned crop top.
- A large blue/grey patterned scarf - this will be a good light item for holiday to use to cover up if its too warm. I get sunburnt so easily curse pale skin!
- Dark red pair of dolly shoes - these are great and come in so many different colours.
- Finally the pink/purple adidas trainers - I literally fell in love with these and had to have them probably the most expensive trainers I've ever bought!


As you can see blue seems to be the colour im leaning towards at the moment. So that's my haul for my holiday so far. I promise to post more now that I've got myself organised and have more time!

Feel free to leave a comment telling me some of your holiday essentials.

My Week In Photos

Thought I would share with you guys some of the photos I took from last week. I saw the idea for this on another blog and felt like giving it a go:

As you can see there has been a lot of cake baking this week. You could say I was inspired by watching the comic relief bake off. The top cakes are starfish cakes (as some people at my work could not tell what they were supposed to be!) Then underneath are ones I baked with my friends on our girly evening on these we just went for random icing and made loads of different shapes.

I always find a girly evening is such a good way to relax and catch up with good friends. We spent the rest of the evening after baking watching Supernatural and have a good ole chinwag.

 Unfortunately for my bank account I also went up town this weekend and the picture above shows my haul. As it is not the most clear photo I brought:

- Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and I brought the one for Combination/Sensitive Skin.

- Botanics All Bright Cleansing Wash

- Some Vitamin E Wipes (These are so refreshing on the skin! Don't think I will be able to return to normal wipes after these!)

- A choker with a flower pendant from Topshop.

- A small pink bag from Dorothy Perkins (I'm in love with this and there was even a discount of 20%) 

Overall I probably spent about 30 pound which I thought wasn't too bad considering what I got for that amount.

 I then had Sunday evening to myself and that means one thing - a little indulgence! Thus the urge to buy myself fancy hot chocolate and biscuits, to light a candle and to spend the rest of my evening watching Desperate Housewives (My Current TV addiction).

Finally above shows my reading for the week. It took me awhile to get into this book to be honest but after this I was hooked and it took me about 2 days to read. Such a good story here's the synopsis so you can get a feel for it:

It is the future. There is no war, no hunger, no pain. No one in the community wants for anything. Everything needed is provided. And at twelve years old, each member of the community has their profession carefully chosen for them by the Committee of Elders.

Twelve-year old Jonas has never thought there was anything wrong with his world. But from the moment he is selected as the Receiver of Memory, Jonas discovers that their community is not as perfect as it seems.

It is only with the help of the Giver, that Jonas can find what has been lost. And it is only through his personal courage that Jonas finds the strength to do what is right…

The book is surprisingly short but very well written.

Finally I want to share with you my music obsession of the week. The band is 'PVRIS' and the album is 'White Noise'. A friend introduced me to these and I am now hooked. Each song has a melodic sound to it and the lyrics are hauntingly beautiful. I'm a big fan of good lyrics and I definitely recommend that if you are reading this you should check this band out!

So that was my week last week in pictures. If any of you want to leave a comment could be with or without a picture describing your week I would be interested in reading it!
