Haul Post

Saturday 2 May 2015

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.

Update Time

Thursday 9 April 2015

Hey all,

Sorry its been so long!! I have seriously been lacking on the blog front recently.

I'd say it's because I have been busy which I have but at the same time I have also been incredibly lazy!
A lot has been going on in the last week I had my birthday now 22 (getting old!), a mini break which involved me getting lost and having a scenic drive through Leek and even a few nights out.

This for me is busy as my weekends normally consist of watching TV series back to back.

I had a lovely day on my birthday went to Birmingham haven't been shopping there in ages!!! Spent rather a lot ended up with a lovely body mist from Victoria's Secret it's called Eau So Sexy! and it smells amazing!! I'm using it as a perfume and it lasts for agessss!

Went to Derbyshire for the mini break which mainly consisted of me sitting in reading but I knocked a couple of books off my Reading list. These were:

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green - Not my favourite of his books but I still enjoyed it had all the same wit and charm that his novels usually have.
The Selection by Kiera Cass - I really enjoyed this book it was girly but not over the top lovey dovey and again had a lot of charm. The main characters were all likeable and I practically read it in a day.

 
Finally I began reading Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella - I already know I am going to like this book I own every book Sophie Kinsella has written and they are all just as funny as the last.

So here is my long overdue update. I also see my blog has been getting loads of views from Russia I find it amazing and appreciate it so much that so many people from all over the world are reading my random rambling posts. I promise to start posting more again.

Bye for now :)
 

Current Skin Care Routine

Saturday 14 March 2015

I know I haven't blogged for awhile! I've had so many ideas for blog posts but absolutely no motivation to write whatsoever.

Its been a busy/stressful week having to sort out holiday plans and changing my car and every time I got home I just wanted to sit in front of the TV and eat my own body weight in junk food. 

I thought in this blog I would share with you my current skin care/make up routine. 
If you're unfortunate like me and have stupidly sensitive blemish prone skin, I want to share with you the products that have currently been working for me.

Morning Routine:
Lotion
- Benefit's Refined Facial Polish to exfoliate.
- Benefit's Total Moisture Facial Cream to moisturise.
- Moving onto make up no I use The Body Shops Tea Tree Flawless BB cream (this is sposed to be good for blemishes and is so much lighter than a foundation.)
- I then top this up with Collections Long Lasting Perfection Concealer.

Evening Routine:
I use:
- Vitamin E wipes to take off any make up.
- Then I use The Body Shop's Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion

It's not much of a routine compared to some but I've been doing it for at least a month now and I've found that my skin has really started to clear up. 

I did do a post awhile ago proclaiming my love for no7 but I got ill and after that it was like my skin fought back and the products no longer worked.






Now for the obligatory selfie unfortunately I don't have a before use of products one but this is currently how my skin is looking thanks to these products:

I promise to not be so slack in the next week and to be more motivated to write.

Thanks for reading! 😊
