I apologise for being absent on this for about a fortnight, I just haven't taken any photos when I've been doing things, and all text posts aren't that appealing to look at. I am more active on Twitter and Tumblr though, so if you fancy having a chat you're best getting me on either of them :)
Some things that have happened this week include - catching up on the wrestling from last week, going to Formby beach last minute and then devouring massive fajita meals at a pub - they were neverending! Going on a late night drive with some friends, hoping to just sit at Crosby beach and chat, but instead accidentally intrude on some eagers doggers, oops.

My room's pretty messy right now, currently packing for a little holiday on Monday. We're going to stay in our friend's cottage in Wales until Friday, can't wait! It's right near Mt Snowdon so we're thinking of climbing it and getting some good photos while we're there, and there's a barn on the grounds, so we're taking lots of stuff to have a barn rave haha

Playsuit - H&M; Shirt - New Look; Vest - Primark; Jewellery - gifted, JWLRY

Apologies for the scruffy hair, my Tangle Teeze hasn't dried from me cleaning it before, which was the most frustrating 20 minutes of my life.
I practically live in this playsuit, it's so comfy I wear t with everything. The above is my favourite combo though, just slouchy but not too casual. My wolf/dreamcatcher vest still has tea stains from ages ago which won't come out so this is the best way to wear it for now.

These are two of my favourite products at the moment - Flowerbomb by Victor Rolf is the perfume I bought in Turkey and it just smells like Summer, it's quite strong when first sprayed, but once it settles down it's gorgeous, very pretty, it a perfume can smell pretty? I don't quite know!

I got this Charles Worthington Repair and Protect hair serum yesterday in Home Bargain for just £1.99 - if you live near this shop please go in and check it out for hair products before you go to Boots, etc as it is a hell of a lot cheaper! And you can get Creme Egg twister bars for 39p, yum! But this product is really good, you just apply a couple of pumps to your hair after washing, focusing on the ends, and it keeps your hair smooth and looking healthy. It's similar to the VO5 Miracle Concentrate but I cannot find that anywhere, so this wil do for now :)

I hope everyone's having a lovely Summer, the weather's meant to perk up this week, fingers crossed!

Hey guys, just a quick outfit post before I potter off to Jack's tonight. We've got the whole day tomorrow, so we need to think of something fun (and preferably free/cheap!) to do :)

Just a comfy outfit I wore earlier in the week but have only just photographed it now; I bought the body in the Primark sale for £2, I could never find my size when it first came out so I saw this as a sign! The cardigan is also new and from Primark. The one I wear at the moment is about four years old, and I can't remember how many holes I've had to sew up. but it's soo comfy, Jack calls it my "scatty cardie."

I apologise for my vacant look in these photos; my camera wasn't focusing properly, and the only good ones are of me looking rather unimpressed! I am loving my Turkey tan though, hope it doesn't go too soon *knock on wood*

Body, cardigan - Primark; Jeans - H&M; Jewellery - Ebay, H&M, VIP.

This is my favourite necklace at the moment, I wear it all the time. I bought it from Victoria, she only had a select amount to sell so I'm really happy I managed to snap one up. Obviously going to wear it at the midnight screening of DH part 2 on Thursday. Me and my friends are going to The Fact in town, where they're showing the first part at 9, and then obviously the second right after, so excited!
My nails are oh-so unique as always! Primark UV glow varnish, it's the nicest purpley-blue I've seen, and I added a Barry M Crackle varnish over my ring finger ala Beyonce at Glasto :)

I promise I'll be back soon with some interesting posts, this'll have to do for now I'm afraid!
What have you been upto over the weekend? Anyone else excited for HP on Thursday? :)

Week in Photos

This is a pretty photo-heavy post from our Turkey holiday, I would apologise but there's so many more photos I wanted to put up, you'll see them if you link to my Facebook or Tumblr though :)

So far my week is looking pretty relaxed, so I'll be able to get up some posts I've been meaning to do - a few outfit posts, showing you some of the stuff I wore in Turkey in greater detail; there's a post on summer must-wears from Missguided; a review on the Body Shop tea tree face mask from a previous post; I might do a June favourites post too, abit unsure on that one though.

Is there anything you would like to see me post about? :)

#101

I got home from Turkey at about half four yesterday morning, slept like a baby and then went to stay in Jack's, so I've not had much time to read through everyone's posts I've missed. I'm currently sat on my bed eating grapes and yoghurt, watching Geordie Shore (don't judge me, I love car-crash tv!) so I'll spend tomorrow morning commenting and the like :)
I'll leave you with a few photos but will do a more indepth post tomorrow for those who are interested :) Hope you're all well!

#100

It arrived! :D I'm so happy I nearly hugged the courior man! I can't stop smiling, I feel so smug.
Couldn't think of a better time to post my 100th post either, today is so good. Thanks to everyone who crossed their fingers for me, think it worked!
Now I'm off to pack my suitcase and carry on bag, shower then go to Jack's and give him the amazing news ^_^

This is probably gonna be my last post til I come home on the 28th, but I look forward to catching up on everyone's posts when I'm back :)

Week in Photos

I'm cheating slightly as some of these photos are from the week before I was in Cornwall, just haven't had the chance to share them, doubt you'll mind!


- Playing round with my mum's camera, being vain. it makes me look quite red though, dunno how to use the different settings


- Went with Heather & Danni for a Nandos before Cornwall; medium chicken wings, garlic bread and Peri Peri chips, nom!


- We found a Heather-sized cash machine on the way to BaaBar!

- Last week's Graze box, all so nice think I demolished it that night. Use code C3MVH3H for a free trial box and your second half price

- The ring and bracelet I treated myself to in Perranport. The bracelet's quite long so when it drags across my arm I freak thinking it's a spider or a bug :/

- More empty products for my Project 10 Pan thing, I think I've gone over 10 items by now, but I'll just keep going, doing pretty well

- Our friend Donna moved to London so we went for a farewell meal to Big Bowl Noodle on Berry St, the guys in there know us cos we can't stop going! We all had Satay chicken w/ fried rice, yummy!
If you live in Liverpool please check it out, it's cheap, they do student discount and the portions are huge, I'm not joking!


- Hope's bosom was flashing in Hannah's Bar later that night...

- The gorgeous flowers in our front garden, haven't a clue what they're called but I like'em :)

- One of many cups of tea since being home. This mug is so cool, it's got a lid to keep it at the perfect temperature

- The Body Shop products I purchased using the Groupon voucher I got aaages ago - paid £12 for £30 worth of products. I used it on the very last day as I'd forgotten about it, oops!
I'm very happy with what I got and will do any reviews if you would like?


I'm currently flitting between tidying the house & packing my suitcase in the hopes my passport arrives in time for Turkey on Monday!
I had my interview, but my dad had to drive me to Blackburn as Liverpool's office had no free dates, typical for me! But I rang earlier and the man said it had been printed s should arrive over the weekend, I really hope it does as I'd be devastated if I couldn't go :( Fingers crossed you guys!

Are you going abroad this year? Anywhere nice? :)

So I'm back from Cornwall, relucantly as I just did not want to come home. I missed my friends/family, but I just wanted to stay away from my usual life a little while longer :(
Hopefully we'll be going back later this year, maybe in August with some friends to chill for a week or so. The drive there and back was nowhere near as bad as last time, as Jack drove us two with the dog in the back, and despite a minor hiccup at the start, with us ending up in Huyton after following his dad's car twin he did really well and I'm very proud of him considering it was his first proper drive :)
The weather was abit hit and miss, it was sunny everyday, but five out of seven days the wind was really strong, so it cancelled out the sun as it was pretty cold. But the last day was gorgeous, and we spent everyday on the beach with Jack and his brother surfing, he taught me how to skimboard, and I caught the littlest tan ever :') Spent Tuesday pottering round Newquay which was nice. Not much has changed round Perranporth but I think that's one of the reasons we love it so much, it's like our home from home; there's still the same waitress in Pickwicks, the same shop owners from years ago, the only things that have changed really is shop signs and a new cafe called The Cove which is really nice, worth checking out if you're ever round there.
We didn't take any photos this year due to the unpredictable weather, and whenever it was sunny we had forgotten to pack the camera just incase, ah well!

This is the only photo I got, on my phone hence the bad quality of the sunset from the second day. In reality it was a gorgeous deep orange that filled the sky, my photo doesn't do it justice but you get the jist.

I'm hoping to get back on track this week with my posts, mabe throw a few new regulars in the mix, see what you all think? Tomorrow I'll do a quick Week in photos from before I left.

Are any of you going on holiday? If so, where? :)
I'm supposed to be sunning it up next week in Bodrum, Turkey with my best friends, but my passport has been a nightmare, it's taken about five months so far and it's still not sorted!
So if anyone in Liverpool either works in or knows someone who works in the Passport Office in town, help me out please, I need it! :D

Short hiatus

Hey guys, just a quick post to say although I've been slacking on the posts the last couple of weeks, I won't be posting anything this coming week as I am going to Cornwall tomorrow morning for a well deserved break! :) I'm really excited to go, but first I have to pop to Wigan tonight and see Jack's last match for a little while.

Hope you all enjoy this gorgeous heat while it lasts, see you next Saturday! :)

Counting down the days

This is definitely my lazy way of keeping up with posting, but I cannot wait for June to come round. I know it's silly to wish time away, but over the next two months I have a lot of things I wish I didn't have to do. Mainly job hunting, completing my work placement and doing the god awful presentation to accompany it - I am alright at speaking to groups when I'm comfortable with said people, but I do not like the tutor in charge of the work placement assignments, I don't even like walking past him in the corridor. We had to do presentations every Tuesday last year with him, and I still hate them, didn't help at all :/

But enough rambling, I'm dedicating this post to my second home, Cornwall, mainly Perranporth.
I'm going back there early June with Jack and his family. This will be the fourth time we've gone, and I'm yet to get bored of the place.
It's just so beautiful - the beaches are gorgeous, the sea is clear, the beach we go to has a pub on it - how cool is that! And everyone's so relaxed and just takes each day as it comes. I'd love to own either a crafts or surf shop there, or a little tea room by the beach. I'm pretty jealous of the lucky Sam who lives in Cornwall, and as you'll see from her posts, always has a lovely smile on her face :)

The following are photos either myself or Jack have taken - please don't take them without asking first!

Can't leave a holiday post without adding a little cheery music. Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes is one of my favourite songs, so relaxing and happy :)

Do you have somewhere you consider a "second home"? :)
