Hey guys, just a quick post on my lazy Saturday afternoon, nothing too fancy just making sure I keep blogging regularly so it becomes a good habit rather than something I feel I have to do even when I don't know what to write about :)

My Graze box arrived today, I'm really excited to try out the two on the left as they are new to me. (Is it sad to be excited by fruit and nuts?!) The two on the right are what I call old faithfuls, I've had them in about three boxes and I always click the "Send Soon" button when rating what I would like to recieve. Also I can guarantee about three of these boxes will be empty by the time I leave to go to Jack's this evening haha.

If you haven't yet tried a Graze box, use the code C3MVH3H to get your first box free and your second half price :)

I'm spending this afternoon catching up on WWE Raw and Smackdown, yep life-long wrestling fan here! Need to finish reading the two books I have on the go right now, can I add two of the best books I've read this year so far.
Fear and Loathing was made into a movie with Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro in '98, brilliant movie which keeps to the book as much as possible, something I always appreciate when books are adapted into movies. Also, the illustrations in the book are so surreal, drawn by Ralph Steadman who is from Wallasey which is just over the Mersey from Liverpool. His drawings can really mess with your mind in terms of what you think you see and what is actually there.
Everville is my favourite Clive Barker book, I've only read a handful of his books, but he's a fantastic writer whose work would be a great addition to your bookshelf!

How do you usually spend your Saturdays? :)

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? :)

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!

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? :)
