Mini Book Haul

Wednesday 27 July 2016

Working in a library where I can borrow books for free means that it's not often that I find myself buying books these days. The other day I treated myself to a couple of titles that I have had my eye on for a while so I thought I would share these with you.


'A small boy and his grandmother set sail for China in the mud of her back yard; a supermarket car park becomes a graveyard of strewn blueberries; migratory birds fly over a marshland ringing with the sound of wooden spoons on kitchen pots; and the breaking of a silence between two roommates leads to disquieting revelations.

Where Have I Been?

Thursday 21 July 2016


Things have been absolutely manic as of late with a lot of personal issues cropping up that have just left me feeling drained, down and frankly not wanting to do anything at all.

Amidst this drama I have visited Aberystwyth for a week! (Hence the artsy photos above.)
Why you may ask? I agreed with my work that I would complete a distance learning degree. It has been a long time coming but I have finally completed the first week of the study school.

Zoella Beauty: Sweet Inspirations. Worth the Hype?

Monday 20 June 2016

I finally caved into the Zoella beauty hype! The previous Zoella beauty releases have not grabbed me I just did not see the hype sure the ranges smelled nice but there were cheaper options around. Then the Sweet Inspirations range dropped and I knew I had to try it!

Belated May Favourites

Sunday 12 June 2016



A rather belated May favourites here. I would like to say it's because I have been busy but honestly I haven't had any motivation to write. As blogging is something I enjoy I did not want to force myself into writing blogs when I just have not felt like it.

On with the post! Here are my favourite things from the month of May. Mostly make-up - I have definitely had a bit of a splurge.

Lifestyle: The Benefits of Drinking Water

Friday 27 May 2016


                   

It's recommended that you should drink 8 glasses of water a day. I know eight glasses seems an incredibly hard thing to achieve - yet I can go through 4 cups of tea in a few hours easily.
I set myself a challenge to up my intake of water for a week and see if I have any benefits from it.
I'm not a big drinker in general I don't often feel thirsty and that must mean I'm hydrated right?
Apparently not the main benefits I found from having at least 4 glasses (I couldn't manage 8) of water a day:

New York: Times Square

Sunday 22 May 2016


My final New York post - this means I'm going to have to accept that the holiday is over. Even though it technically has been for months 'inserts sad face emoji' 
This blog is all dedicated to Times Square. Of course when you go to New York this is one of the first sites you will go see.

Urban Decay Summer Collection

Thursday 19 May 2016


I recently picked up two items from the Urban Decay Summer collection these are the 'Naked Skin One & Done Hybrid Complexion Perfector' and the 'Afterglow Highlighter' in the shade 'Aura'.

New York: The Met Museum

Wednesday 18 May 2016





One of the other sites that I really wanted to visit whilst in New York was the Metropolitan Museum of art.
I will admit this was mainly from watching Gossip Girl over and over and wanting to get a picture on the steps of the met. 
Once we arrived there the building was magnificent! It's just a donation to get a ticket and inside it is absolutely massive, like a maze. 
The section we browsed around was on the Egyptians there were so many artefacts! Mummies, sarcophaguses, Egyptian jewellery and even a temple. 
Everything on display seemed so grand and magnificent and they had a wonderful room where one wall was basically just a window, then there was a water feature. It was blocked off here I think they were setting it up for a wedding reception. 
I imagine it would make a stunning venue!
Unfortunately as all we had done that day was walk round everybody was overly tired by the time we got to the met. Which meant we only went round the section with artefacts from Ancient Egypt and then went back to the hotel.
I would love to go back and peruse some of the other exhibits, I don't think you'd get round all of it even if you spent a whole day in there!
I've included some of the photos I snapped above and below. This includes the mandatory picture on the steps of the met Gossip Girl style.
Have you visited the met Museum or New York in general? What did you enjoy the most?

Thanks for Reading!











Kylie Lipkit Review: Posie K

Tuesday 10 May 2016





Ever since Kylie Jenner released lipkits everyone and their uncle has been trying to get their hands on them. There have been countless reviews and I thought I would add mine to the mix.

After missing out the first time I had tried to order Posie K (I had it in my basket and everything.) I spent awhile deliberating whether it was worth it to order.
