EMPTIES

Hiya lovelies! Todays post is new to me but is one that I love to read on other peoples blogs and as you will be able to see from the title it is a products ive used up, by no mean does this mean ive loved all the products I have just simply used them up. So lets get started.

Heres an overview of the products which are now empty, some I would re purchase others I wouldn't.

The first two are hair products, the one on the left is the Mark Hill Love Big Hair! Big It Up Volume Shampoo 250ml which is on offer at the minute in Boots for £3.66. I noticed a huge difference when using this shampoo on my hair. It gave it so much more volume than it my hair normally has and made it feel soo much more smoother and I felt it looked tidier. I loved this so much I actually bought another one. The product on the left is an Argain oil Hydrating Hair Mask which I bought in the poundshop, rather than using this as a hair mask I used it as conditioner as my hair was in bad condition. This really helped get my hair back to its proper condition and for a pound I would definitely by this again.

Next is the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser, which I used as a cleanser on a night time to remove any dirt and make-up. I liked this cleanser but I wouldn't say it is the best one I have ever used. If I was bought another one I would use it but I wouldn't choose to buy this one. The next product is Coconut Body Butter by The Body Shop, I bought this I was drawn in by the smell of the product, it smells so good I could eat it! It is a good body butter and leaves you skin feeling softer for longer and very moisturised, I would definitely buy this again.

Next is the three make-up products of this post, Maybelline the Rocket Volum' Express Very Black Mascara. I bought this when every was loving the falsies, I usually don't like a plastic brush but LOVE this mascara! I found this mascara made my eye lashes very long, thick and just totally amazing. This is my holy grail mascara and im feeling very scared to not have one in my make-up collection right now. I would 10000% buy this again and again and again. Next is Studio Fix Fluid, my total favourite of all foundations I have ever tried, this is one which I will always want. With amazing coverage and lasting time there is no doubt why I love this so much. I would have a back up of this of all times if I could afford the small fortune it costs! Lastly on this section is Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, I didn't totally fall in love with this as much as I would have loved to have. The coverage was good enough for me but it stuck to dry patches on my face and looked really patchy after a days wear. I wouldn't purchase this foundation again.

The last product in this post has already been re-purchased so is definitely a winner. It is the Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum this was the fragrance of 2013 for me and I love it so much a re bought it straight away. It has such a gorgeous smell that stays put all day, I received so many compliments when wearing this!

UNI?!?!

Hiyaa!! I'm finally sticking to my plan and blogging every two days, yippee to me! In tonight's post I thought id chat to you about some personal things that has been happening with me lately and I think it is important to chat about. And that is university.

From being young I have always dreamed of working with children, ive never totally been sure in what part I would like to work but my dreams have ranged from being a midwife to being a primary school teacher to being a child councillor. So my last year off sixth form came and I applied for primary education at my local university's and many around the Uk but knew I didn't want to move away as im too much of home bird. unfortunately I didn't pass the interview so was unsuccessful, however I had enough to time apply to another course I was successfully picked for the Childhood Studies course.

At first I was excited and couldn't wait to start, but not long after starting uni I started to get a little bored but stuck it out and thought it will get better its just the first year after all! Although, a few months passed and I was still unsure about what I wanted to do. And that brings us to now.

More and more thoughts went through my head and i decided to talk to Alex about it and we both discussed my possibilities. I then spoke to my mam and dad and friends and they all said they were  behind me and that I should do what I feel is best.

At the moment I have pretty much decided that I am going to leave uni after this first year is over as it is just not for me, I am going to work full time for  a year and explore all the different possibility's I have.

Basically, what I hoped you would gain from this post is an insight to what other things are out there and if you don't think uni is for you, don't stick to it just because you are worried about what other people think or that you wont get a job after. Look into other things that you are interested in and see if there any other roots you could go down to get there. Im not saying just throw the towel in and forget it but there are definitely other ways of doing things you love.

WEEKEND & OUTFIT PLANNING

Hiya guys, so for this weekends post i thought i would just let you know about what has been going on in my life lately and what i have been up to.

SOOO, this week has been quite stressful for me as i have had three assignments in at uni and a driving test. Unfortunatly i failed my driving test :( as i didn't notice a 30 sign and carried on doing 35! which i was absolutely gutted about but next time hopefully ill get there! But more about uni, so as i was saying i had three assignments in one which was presentation and two which where actually written assignments but I'm just glad they are out the way now and i have a nice three weeks off. I am planning a uni post for any of you who are at the stage of thinking about uni or are even at uni! stay tuned for that! 

More about this weekend, as i may have said in posts before my mam and dad have a caravan which they go to every weekend so i have the house to myself woopie! Normally i see this as a good thing but this weekend i had to look after the dog as my mam and dad set up the caravan, which of course means i haven't been able to do much. Saturday i spent lying watching Gossip Girl all day which if your not watching it or haven't already watched it you need to go start watching it as soon as you finish reading this post! I made myself some nachos with mince and backed it in the oven with salsa and cheese on whilst lying watching it yesterday which was amazing. Then once Alex had finished work we took my dog to his house to have a bit of socialisation with his dog and it also gave me a chance to socialise with some people as i had been stuck in the house since friday night. We took my pooch home and headed straight out to the movies, we wanted to see Noah but unfortunately it was all sold out :( so we saw The Grand Budapest Hotel instead which wasn't great but as we have the cine world passes i wasn't too bothered about seeing it as i didn't directly pay for the viewing of it.  

Today i am again sat around in my pjs whilst alex is at work and later on i am going to make a nice sunday dinner for him finishing work and take our dogs out to the park for a run around. 

I thought i would add a photo of some outfit planning i have been doing for my summer holiday, i know my holiday isn't for another 2 month yet but you can never start planning too early! 

This is one of the outfits that i have planned, it is a ditsy print playsuit from Henry Holland which i actually bought last year but will be wearing it again this year as i love it soooo much. With this i have pairs my new sandals which i got from primark for around £6-8 and this cute woven bag which is from Tescos but bought this quite a few years ago now. I also plan on wearing my sunglasses which are from HnM, a cute blue thumb ring and some beaded bracelets. To add a bit more colour to the outfit i thought i could wear my Nails Inc nail varnish in Chelsea Physic Garden which is just a gorgeous pale blue and Topshops lipstick in Ohh La La. 

Let me know if you would like to see more outfit plans, 

cya.
