Yes, hello, I have become that kind of cliché blogger, but I have no shame. I love Christmas, especially gift giving, but presents have become so goddamned expensive, I can't really afford to buy anything really nice because everything it's all ridiculously priced. So I've hunted down the more affordable luxury things you can get for your loved ones. Personally this Christmas I'm making the dinner, and it's the first Christmas in years where I'm...
Evening all, I spent the afternoon eating homemade doughnuts (doused in sugar and slightly warm with a coffee? My kind of perfect) with Ayden and her mum and we've been under a duvet watching horror films, which is totally unlike me and I'm normally terrified but they went easy on me. We watched 'The Strangers', 'The Forest' and 'Apostle' and I'm rather proud that I wasn't scared. Saying that, around the time we got to...
I think is very much a beauty haul with some fashion thrown in for good measure. Also, whoopsy my hand slipped and all of this just fell into my basket, not at all my fault, I promise. Urban Decay 'Naked' palette (shop here) My mum and godmother were doing a car boot sale a couple of Sundays ago, and I went out to help, and we found ourselves next to a really nice girl who...
I'm trying out a new format on here for size, I'm probably going to replace the 'Cup Of Tea And A Catch Up' series with this because I totally fell out of love for it. I created it right at the start when I first started this blog and I find it a bit stale and boring. I haven't been home for going on three weeks now, which is a habit I've suddenly gotten into,...
A Weekend In Mimizan
1:51 PM / BY May
Last weekend, my Dad and I decided to surprise my girlfriend and take her on a weekend away to the coast. It’s only about a 3-hour drive away from where my Dad lives so it’s do-able for a weekend. After many setbacks (mostly to do with my washing not being dry), we finally left at about 10-ish on the Saturday morning, and drove to Lit-et-Mixe, a small seaside town about half an hour away from...
Okay. Hold the phone. I'm actually wearing make-up again. I know. I can't believe it either. And it's actually got effort gone into it. I KNOW. So I wanted to share what I'm currently wearing. There are various make-up looks that I've been doing, so I’ve decided to make it a bit different and do two different looks, so there’s going to be two different eye looks, one for the morning and one for the...
I'm trying my hand at showing you guys recipes since I've been getting a lot more into cooking (oh hey boyfriend who can make pasta and only pasta) and god I love food, yet breakfast is a mystery I'm have yet to crack since for me it's still pretty much toast and cereal. In any case these two 'recipes' are ridiculously easy given that I'm not going to be making a 4 course meal at...
A Week In Blanes
6:10 PM / BY May
I’ve been blabbering on about this holiday for the past two blog posts but finally! It’s finally happened. For those who don’t know what I’m on about, last week I went to Blanes (Spain) for a week with my Dad and boyfriend. We went in my Dad’s caravan, which given, isn’t the most glamorous of places to stay but it allowed us to do our own thing whenever (also my Dad is addicted to camping...
Oh hey, you pretty people, how are you all doing? Today's post is a chatty one so get yourself a beverage of whatever form you choose and tuck in! I've missed blogging, so I figured any excuse was a good one to get typing again. I mean, technically I still want to write stuff, I still want to talk about the things I've been wearing, the make-up I've been loving, and sharing all the things...
I've been trying to write this goddamn post for ages and it's just not flowing. I pretend I know how to do fashion blogging but there's fuck-all I can say about clothes. I've needed to add some things to my wardrobe, I'm the kind of person who likes to cut down on things I don't need but then never replace it, so I needed (really badly) to thicken things out, so I raided ASOS and...
I know a lot of people who get really squeamish when it comes to talking about periods, which always confuses me. What? Do you change your protection with your eyes closed? It's your own blood, why are you grossed out by that? Of course I’m not expert and I’m in no way a professionnel but I figured it was the least I could do, so here is a lot of things about periods (in the...
How do you intro? Let's get on with it, that sounds like fun. Gilmore Girls I heard about this show aaages ago when Rebecca of FromRoses was raving about it, but it never really attracted me until my Mum started watching it, and I accidentally started getting emotionally invested in their lives. I swear I felt like I'd lost a limb when she finished it, so I've started it again and it's so wholesome and lovely...
Well, this is fun isn’t it? This whole blogging malarky! I’m sorry I’ve been away for so long, college is becoming like an over-bearing parent, and I’ve moved house, as you do. Anyway, for Christmas I was seriously spoiled and got a shit ton of skincare stuff to make my skin look a little less disgusting. I'm aware that there is a lot of the brand Sanoflore in this post, I'm not sponsored but I...
