Taking a Break

Heeeey... Long time no see. Okay, guilty - I haven't been posting. Lately I've been thinking a lot about this blog and where I want to be with it - the content I want to produce, the layout, the feel of it, and also the sort of bloggers I want to be interacting with... And currently, as you may know, I'm working towards taking my GCSEs in the summer. This is the main obstacle in all of this. This blog is always going to be here, but unfortunately, I get one shot at these exams. Due to this... Well, I've decided it's best to take a break from blogging.

January Favourites

Considering it's the first month of 2015, I don't have many favourites! The ones I do have, however, are quite possibly my most favourite favourites if you catch my drift? Yeah.

My Current Favourite Blogilates Videos

So I did something. I carried out a resolution I didn't even plan on having. Most people want to get fit in the new year, and this was certainly not my intention at all. However, Cassie Ho has inspired the hell outta me and so I went for it.

Love Your Body - 14 Ways Water Can Help You

So... We all know that water is good for us. It's a fact of life. I know that whenever I search up about how to cure, say for example, acne or really dry skin, you wanna know what comes up? Water. It's a common factor in pretty much every issue I have with myself. So, I decided to do a little research into how else water can help us mere mortals, and I came up with this list.

I split my findings into three catagories, the face, the mind and the body. Enjoy!

Fresh and Girly Makeup Tutorial

Hi guys. So, it's come to my attention that I've only made one makeup tutorial on this blog. I really do like creating new looks. Unfortunately, they're a pain in the backside if you make tutorials the way I do. I live in England - you know, that country notorious for its unpredictable, temperamental weather. Natural lighting? Yeah, it sucks. However, I managed to work with what I had on the first bright day Birmingham has seen in 2015. I hope you like the look, anyway. Enjoy!

6 Products I Want To Try At Lush

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation - My First Impression

Sooo, finally I got my hands on this foundation. I'll admit, this is my first time using a MAC product *awaits fearful gasps* and I'm very very excited about it. Here's what I've learnt about the Studio Fix Fluid from first use...

December Favourites

Heeeey guys. I'm practicallly 1/3 of a month late for this post, and have - unless I post tomorrow (which I plan on doing) - broken a new year's resolution. If you read my post about the New Year, I said I'd be posting twice a week. You'd think that's easy... Wrong. I had my first real exam guys; I was notified of this exam two days before I took it. Way to go, Secondary School. Way to go. 

ANYWAY, I didn't have a lot of favourites for this month purely because the good stuff came at Christmas, and I didn't want to include a lot of stuff from Christmas because I felt I'd need a whole month to actually use everything and come to a fair judgement on what are my most favourite favourites. You get what I'm saying, right? No? Ah, shuck it (The Maze Runner quoting right there). Let's get down to business.

2015 Mini Lush Haul

Hey there! So I ordered a couple of things off of the Lush UK website on the 30th and they arrived today. This was my first time ordering off of Lush so I didn't know how good they were with delivery, but they estimated 3-5 working days and I received them today - the 3rd. Even though I'd been dying to get my hands on what I'd ordered, the products were delivered within the timescale given, so hey, well done Lush! It's unnatural how excited I get waiting for things to come in the post and so the fact that I could track my order with Royal Mail... Well, it didn't help the situation. To any of you guys who managed to order off of Lush during the Boxing Day Sales, well, I hope you're enjoying all of the things I missed out on xD Anyway, here's what I ordered!

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!

What is going on? The year has come and gone, and it feels like the end of the world to me if I'm honest with you. This year has been a good'n. Making the questions below has made me a little nostalgic already because a lot of things have changed for me this year and they're going to change a lot more next year, but let's not dwell on that... I've put together 15 different questions (kind of like a tag) that'll be a sort of reflection on this year and a look at what's to come next year. Feel free to use these questions by the way! :)

Christmas Eve & Day! + OOTD

First off, I hope you had a very Merry Christmas if you celebrate it, if you don't, Happy Holidays! What did you get nice? I've been itching to write up a post on my Christmas, so here I am! I don't know about you, but Boxing day sales have lead me to stay locked up indoors, afraid of the world and the people in it. Not as bad as Black Friday though, huh?

My Best and Worst Beauty Products of 2014

Clothes Show Live 2014

So my Nan took me and my sister Lauren to the Clothes Show Live on Tuesday and it was quite a fun experience. I'd never been to the Clothes Show before, and I will admit I had high hopes for it considering what my Nan had told me from all of the years before - but it was a tad bit of a let down. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it and thought I'd do a post on my experience and what I came back with.

November Favourites & Exciting News!

IT'S DECEMBER!!! It feels like yesterday since I wrote that post on how excited I've been for Christmas in all honesty, and now it's the moooost wonderful tiiiiime of the yeeeaaaar! November has come and gone, and so I thought I'd do a favourites post. PS - my little sister Kayla made the cake roll in the picture above :)

My First Time Using Lush

Heeey! I've been mega-busy with coursework lately and haven't had the time to write any posts - sorry about that. But I'm back with a good'n to share with you all. I went into Lush the other week (for the first time asdfghjhgfd) to pick up part of my friend's presents, and ended up picking up three things for myself. I've heard a lot of people say the smell of the Lush stores are a bit sickly and too much, but I actually found this wasn't the case for me. You know those packs of 20 lollies that you'd buy on your birthday to give to people in primary school? You know the sherbet ones shaped like a flying saucer? That's exactly what it smelt like to me - completely different to what I was expecting. Here's the four things I picked up...

Fish Update - New Tank and Another Pregnant Fish!

Hey! So, a lot has happened with the fish since I last posted. First up, our baby is pregnant. Yup. Filthy, insectrial Balloon Mollies. As I write this, she is due to have her babies any time now.

October Favourites

Heeeey there! Another month has been and gone and so it's only right to do an October favourites post. How has your October been? Did you enjoy Halloween? My favourite thing about Halloween was eating the Halloween Edition French Fancies (they're to die for)! Aside from that, here's what else I loved this month...
