July Favourites

Saturday, 2 August 2014


So it’s once again that time where it’s the end of the month and I share some of my favourites with you guys so I'm going to start with one of my favourite TV shows at the moment which is Orange is the new black. It’s a Netflix original TV show and I've heard so much hype over the show from youtubers, friends and from social network sites like twitter that thought I'd have to check it out, which I did and I can say the first episode I wasn't very keen I watched it and I was like oh ok. But as I watched the next episode I got hooked it’s quite an odd show that I've never really watched before but it’s pretty humorous.



My next favourite is teen wolf this has been one of my favourites for a two years now. It’s my all time favourite tv show. So of course when season four started I was ecstatic and once again I am hooked like I have been with every season since I first started to watch it. Plus since Season 3 the show has become much more dark and mysterious so that has me even more excited. 



My first beauty / skincare favourite has to be the Lush ultrabalnd cleanser. Now I think I’ve hyped on about this for the last few blog posts that it’s been involved in and it is now my favourite cleanser to use! it takes make up off effortlessly and as Lush use mostly natural ingredients it is very good for your skin. It’s also designed to remove all makeup and dirt without damaging your skin. I also did a review here. 


My second product is the Lush impereialis moisturiser. Now I didn't buy the proper product I got a sample of it and I love this moisturiser. I went in the shop asking one of the workers about moisturisers and this is the one she recommended. It’s meant for skin that can't make up it’s mind. So it’s good for both oily and dry skin. The product itself is basic it’s a moisturiser that can be used for both night times and day times (I prefer using it in the morning before I apply makeup) and it dries very quick but leaves your skin moisturised.

 

My next favourite is my only fashion favourite of the month is my Raybans. I love these sunglasses since I bought them last year, but since the sun is out at the moment in Britain they have gone everywhere I have. I rarely leave the house without them.


And my final favourite is the metcalfe’s skinny topcorn sweet ‘n salt popcorn this popcorn was recommended by my friend Katherine when we went to see the fault in our stars last month the popcorn comes in small bags and each bag contains 75 calories and it’s all natural ingredients in the bag and their small portions making it the perfect size for a small snake or to chuck in your bag to take with you on the go.


So these were my favourites for this month July. I can’t believe how fast this month has gone it’s now only 19 days until I get my results back and have some decisions to make, but what were your favourites for the month?

Shopping, Divergent and Nandos

Tuesday, 15 April 2014

So yesterday I had a day out with my mum, which I haven't had in a long time and it was really nice to finally have a mother, daughter day it was very fun and relaxing and the weather great the sun was out and it was pretty warm out. Which is showing that it is actually spring! And I'm praying that the weather will pick up and stay hot and sunny longer especially for the summer.

So as the title suggests I did go shopping, I ended up going to Silverlink where there are a few shops at a retail park. I ended up going into Newlook, H&M, Boots and Next.  I ended up only buying things from H&M, Newlook and boots and I spent £18 oops!. It may not seem like I spent much but I spent £35 on Saturday when I went into town. Here some of the things I bought,

Newlook (£12.99) this tops is quite unique it’s mixed materials. The front is black and I'm not sure what the material is but it’s very light, whilst the back is grey and it’s a jersey material. It’s quite plain and simple but at the same time it’s quite smart but casual.



Boot’s- L'Oreal Paris Skin perfection purifying micellar solution (£3.33)  boots have a deal on this at the moment where you save 1/3 on selected L'Oreal Paris skincare so this should have originally been £4.99 so it’s a good deal and I actually tried this as soon as I got home and one thing I can say is I’m not going to be using make up wipes any more. This stuff feels so much gentler on the skin. It took me two make up pads to remove my entire make up but I didn't use much of the solution. I think I’m definitely going to have to get some more of this.


 After killing  time in the shops and walking around it was finally time for us to go to the cinema where I got to see Divergent! I actually saw a trailer for this film when I went to see The Hunger Games Catching Fire and since then I have wanted to see it and I can definitely say it was just as good as the trailer makes it look. I even think it’s better than the Hunger Games. I mean the film does have that Hunger Games vibe to it, but I also think that it could be compared a little to The Host but that might just be my own opinion.

After the film (which was around 8pm) I was starving I didn't really eat much all day I had a small bowl of porridge in the morning and a Bagel for Lunch, and a small popcorn I was pretty hungry by 8pm, so I convinced my mum (more like flipped a coin) to go to Nandos. It was either this or Bella Italia so we flipped the coin and it landed on tails which was Nandos.

This was actually my first time at Nando’s so I went with the chicken breast fillet wrap and I had it medium spiced and it was amazing! I had a side of spicy rice on the side and of course I had to snap chat a picture of it and the restaurant  which is down below, but I was the perfect spice and perfect portion. The atmosphere in Nandos as well was just amazing it was so calm, but it was so happy and fun, the music was great and fitted well with the theme and I want to go back so badly it’s been less than a day and I'm having withdrawal problems.

I eventually got home after a busy day and the first thing I did was take my makeup off and jumped straight in the shower and got into my PJ’s and since doing so I have sat in bed watching a bit of Buffy the vampire slayer, YouTube videos and doing nothing. But today has been an amazing day and I've loved the time  I spent with my mum since I never really get days together it was nice and I can't wait to have more days like this.
