Hello everyone, today as I haven't blogged in over a week I thought I would blog about the things that have made me happy and thought I'd give you tips on how to cheer yourself up! This won't have many ( if any ) pictures so I hope you don't fall asleep - haha!

I've found recently surrounding myself with positive, happy people. For me this is my friends and family and my pets, but for you it could be surrounding yourself with things that make you happy, it could be an inanimate object like a teddy bear or even looking through old photographs. I find surrounding myself with my friends and family really helps.
I thought I would include a picture from my birthday which for me was one of my favourite days and it made and still makes me happy when I look at the photos from it! :)

Hi you awesome lot! I just wanted to say a gigantic thank you for 18 followers, I never ever expected this.

So todays post is going to be my top 5 lip products I thought this would be fun as I can show you subtle lip looks and bolder lip looks I hope you enjoy this post and you try out some of the products I mention and if you would like comment some of your favourite lip products!

My first favourite product is my GOSH lipstick in boheme! This is the most gorgeous colour ever and it's creamy if that makes sense so it doesn't dry out your lips which I love. It's super pigmented and the colour is amazing on your lips! I find it looks nice with my hair. This is my must have lipstick as it's fab! I think this was about six or seven pounds from superdrug.
My third favourite lip product is my Mac lipstick in 'Angel' it is a frost finishing and is a really subtle pink and is a gorgeous colour for spring time as it just reminds me of spring haha! Its really pretty and I would recommend it for those who don't want anything too bold. This was 15 pounds 50 pence and that is rather expensive but worth it as they have gorgeous shades!

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I went back to school on Monday and on the last few days of my holidays I just wanted to relax and haven't had much inspiration but I promise I will more - haha.
Anyway todays post is a collab with the wonderful Jodes and this post is a Spring Tag as you probably already gathered from the title! Hope you enjoy and don't forget to check out Jodies tag!

1. What's your favourite spring nail polish?
I love love love my Topshop nail polish in 'Everybody get up' it's a stunning lilac colour with white spoldges in it and is so pretty and in my opinion a really 'Spring like' colour!
2. Must have lip colour for the spring?
I actually have two, they are my Tanya Burr lipglosses in 'Afternoon tea' ( top ) and 'I found nemo' ( bottom ) these are honestly my favourite lipglosses I've ever tried! They are very pigmented and are really just beautiful colours, the only down side is they are a little sticky, other than that they are literal perfection!
3. Show us your spring shoes ( I changed the question around a bit )
Mine are my white Converse as they are so lovely and aghhh I just love them!

4. Favourite flower?
I really love peonies as I think they're so cute and I especially love the light pink ones!

5. What srping trends are you most looking forward to this year?
Probably ( hairstyles wise ) messy buns, fishtail plaits I recently learnt how to do them - can I get a woop woop :')
And fashion wise I'm looking forward to wearing dresses and not having to wear a coat.

6. Favourite spring candle?
I really love the scent of the Yankee candle in 'Sicilian Lemon' and this reminds me of my all time favourite Lush bath bomb 'dragons egg' which smells amazing and like lemons as does the bath bomb (can I get a round of applause please).
 8. What is spring like where you live?
Well weather in the UK is extremely unpredictable so one day it could be sunny the next there could be an avalanche of snow - okay maybe a bit of an exaggeration there Tabby, but the weather does change a lot but recently it's been really warm here!

9. What's your favourite thing about spring?
Well I like that it's beginning to get warmer and you can have a few really nice days but it's still not boiling and I recently brought out my denim jacket again and they're very versatile and I really like wearing them.

10. Are you going to do a spring clean?
Me? cleaning? No chance!! Nah I doubt it, I'm not very good at cleaning - haha!

Hope you really enjoyed this Tag and don't forget to check out Jodies post!
Lotsa love

Hello everyone, todays post is a collab with the lovely Livvy , she's recently started up her blog and go show her some support by following her! Okey dokey, back to this blog. Todays post is my '5 favourite apps'
My first favourite app is youtube, now I'm not sure if you could class this as an app but I really love it, I love being nosey and seeing what people are up to in their vlogs and I enjoy watching funny videos and makeup videos currently my favourite youtubers are Dan, Phil, Lucy & Lydia!
My second favourite app is spotify, I think this is an amazing app as you can listen to music legally for free (as long as you have wifi) you do have to  listen to adds but you can purchase spotify premium so you can listen to music when you don't have wifi and you also don't have any adds!
My third favourite app ( it's getting more exciting now... not ) 'Crossy Road' I loveee this game as it's really fun and addictive, I like getting new characters because I'm very sad, haha!
Another of my favourite apps is 'White Tiles 4' as there are loads and loads of different games you can play on it! It's also very fun and a good app for when you're bored, I would say if you are going to be going on a long journey this is a good app as there are lots of mini games to play so if you get bored of one you can try another!
My final favourite app is 'The Chase' as it's a laugh and I find it fun answering the questions and trying to win the 'money'. If you don't know The Chase is a TV on channel 3 ( freeview ) at 5pm every week day!
I thought I'd include a cheeky picture of all the apps, I know it's blurred but it looked nicer than the normal one - haha
This was quite a short post so I'll try and upload again tomorrow or Friday!
Hope you all enjoyed and have a great day! Don't forget to check out Livvys top 5 apps! See you all soon!
Lotsa love

Hello again! Todays post is a collaboration with the lovely Megan from Megans World, her blog is http://www.megansw0rld.blogspot.co.uk/ .
My post today is a pamper routine and my friend Yasmin helped me out with this so thank you!
Right, back to the blog! This is rather exciting as it's a pamper evening and I do love a nice pamper evening!

First I would start by removing all my makeup using my Soap and Glory peaches and clean cleanser and if that hadn't removed it all I would then take the rest off with the Garnier Micellar water.
Next I would run a nice warm bath and use a lush bath bomb, that night I chose 'Think Pink' forgive me if I got that wrong haha! But I love this as the scent is beautifully sweet and relaxing and it turns the bath a gorgeous pink colour and leaves mini hearts in your bath! In the bath I would either put on some music or watch Pretty Little Liars, I'm currently on season 5 and I'm so excited to see if they reveal 'A' eeekkkk!
I would then wait for my nails to dry and relax with my laptop listening to music or watching PLL as I mention a lot - haha! I might grab a snack or something to drink while I wait!

Hello you lovely bunch! Todays post is a collab with the lovely sparkling with glitter  www.sparklingwithglitter.blogspot.co.uk/ she has done the same post as me so make sure to check it out!! Rightio back to this, todays post is my skincare favourites! I hope you enjoy!
I have a lot of skincare favourites so I'll list a few and say why I like them!
I have oily and spot prone skin so if you have dry skin don't fear as there may be some products for combination skin! I will link all the products that I review!
My first favourite is my Mask Of  Magnaminty face mask from lush - this is designed for spotty skin and I can tell you its 100% helped clear up my spots! The first couple of times I used it it did bring out a couple of spots but on the third or fourth time it stopped and helped calm them down especially around my T-zone! Another good thing about it is it's self preserving and has a long use by date. It is peppermint scented and is quite over-powering but it reminds me of mint choc chip ice cream - haha! Its also only made out of natural ingredients so there is no nasty stuff in there for your skin! My 125 gram pot was five pound fifty. https://www.lush.co.uk/products/mask-magnaminty-self-preserving
Another of my favourite skin care products is the Garnier Micellar water! This stuff is amazing and lasts for ages! I get the pink lidded one for even sensitive skin, I don't know what the even part is meant to mean haha! But this is amazing for taking off makeup and it's so quick. It lasts for ages, the bottle says you get 200 uses out of it but depending on how much you use you could get less or you could get more. Boots currently have an offer on giving you one pound sixty six off making it three pound thirty three, so I think I shall be popping down to boots soon to pick up some more! /http://www.boots.com/en/Garnier-Micellar-Cleansing-Water-400ml_1440752/
I used up all this the other day so I don't have it to take a picture of!


One of the nicest skin care products I have tried is Soap and Glorys Peaches and clean cleanser! This is amazing and you can use this to take off your makeup and take this bits off that didn't all come off with the micellar water! This cleanser also feels amazing on your skin! This is also balanced for all skin types and is a product I would recommend! You only need two pumps to clean your whole face which I think is great and it lasts for ages! /http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Peaches-and-Clean%C2%99-3-in-1-Wash-off-Deep-Purifying-Cleanser-200ml_1364166/
Another of my favourites is The Body Shop Vitamin E moisturiser, This really hydrates and smooths your skin and I put it on just before I go to bed then put on my spot and eye cream! In the morning my skin feels refreshed and soft, overall I really like this product and recommend it!! http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/shop-by-range/vitamin-e/vitamin-e-moisture-cream.aspx
Soap and Glory's puffy eye attack turbo-boost hydragel is amazing! It really helps de-puff puffy eyes in the morning, I tend to get extremely puffy eyes especially overnight. Whenever I put this cream on I notice a big difference in the morning and it's 100% worth getting although it is rather costly - 12.50 ( pounds ) and if you want to find a miracle de-puffing then you should definitely give it a go! It does sting at first but after a few minutes it eases off http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Puffy-Eye-Attack%C2%99-Turbo-Boost-Hydragel-14ml_1364172/
My final favourite is my soap and glory Dr Spot, spot gel, I find this doesn't help clear my spots but does prevent more popping up and redness, it does sting if you put it on an open spot. I really like this as since I've been using this my skin has improved a-lot and my friends have noticed the difference, so if you're struggling with spots disappearing then another one coming up ( which I struggled with ) I would recommend this! http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Dr-Spot%C2%99-Super-Strength-Breakout-Clearing-Gel-15ml_1364152/\

I really hope you enjoyed and try out some of the products I mentioned. I know I enjoyed writing this blog! Don't forget to check out www.sparklingwithglitter.blogspot.co.uk/ !!

Disclaimer - I'm not trying to brag in any way at all!

Hello everyone!
Well todays post is my 'essentials for a weekend away' and I've been looking forward for this one for a while now! I was unsure on how to structure this so I'm just going to do whatever and just go with the flow.
I don't like having to do a disclaimer as everyone knows I am not doing this to brag but still { Disclaimer } - I'm not in any way bragging I'm doing this as it's something I enjoy!

Okay, my must have on a weekend away is my camera - I use this for my pictures so I used my phone for this picture sorry for the not as good quality, that made no sense but you all know what I mean. This is my favourite possession and for those who don't know I use the Canon Powershot SX510 HS and its amazing!
 My other must have is my phone, this is something I cannot live without! I use it all the time and when I'm out down the city or somewhere where I'd rather not take my camera with me I'll use it to take pictures, as it's an iphone 5c the camera quality is reasonably good!




I will also take a makeup bag with just a few main things, makeup products I would take are Benefit roller lash or rimmel London wonder'full mascara as a cheaper alternative, naked 3 palette or the collection little mix all about the eyes palette, maybelline baby skin primer, Mac blusher and a real techniques brush I wouldn't take too much as it would fill up my bag and I wouldn't need all the makeup I own!! The Mac blush is in 'Style' and is a beautiful coral colour.


I will also take a hat and sunglasses depending on the weather but as its spring I would take them as you can get some lovely sunny days but you can also get cooler days so the hat can be an accessory on the cooler and the warmer days! My sunglasses were 16 pounds from Topshop and my hat was 25 pounds from River Island.


I would take a purse and some money just incase I see something I would like to buy something that   remind me of my weekend away!
I would also take a book or magazine to read if we're travelling somewhere so I don't get bored!
Another thing I would bring along with me is some headphones and an ipod or just my phone so I can listen to my favourite tunes whenever I want! :)


I would also obviously take clothes, underwear, hair products, pyjamas and any other things but I thought they were too obvious and would look a bit boring!
These are just things I would personally take, if you have other things you would take mention them in the comments!
