Foot Freedom! BRB

So hi....

I may be breaking my August everyday blogging shindig. I was finally able to get my cast off Monday and it's amazing how much it's brightened my mood. It was just in time for my Birthday and for a huge number of plans and activities, so although I lost a whole month of my summer I still get to celebrate and enjoy my birthday and a friends and do a load of things.

I still have to wear a boot, but this can be taken on and off and I can actually walk on my foot without pain both when wearing the boot and when not. I'll not push my luck too much though, I wouldn't want to have 4 weeks of freedom just to end back into the cast.
ANYWAY on to blogging, I'm actually going away tomorrow (12th) Till Sunday (16th) and I won't have my laptop, as such I won't be active. Although I do have posts planned I will unfortunately miss out blogging on the 12th as I have yet to decide a post idea that I've liked and although I want to blog everyday I really don't want these posts to end up as random bad ideas posted just for the sake of getting a post up.
In total with my current planned posts I will only be missing around 4 days in August, but maybe I'll be blessed with creativity, which would be grand.

Honestly as well as making you all aware of my potential gaps in posting this month I also just wanted to share the happiness I'm currently feeling, I have the boot off now and the freedom feels so great, I had a warm bath and not having to awkwardly hang my leg out the bath was great. It's weird because I've felt annoying with how much I've talked about my broken foot but when you can't move and you can't even be independent. There's nothing else for you, your life is that broken bone, You're best topic of conversion is how long till it's gone and how you did it. It literally was in every aspect of life for the last 6 weeks, that's a long time, If I had broken this n high school it would have been my whole summer which used to feel so long.

Well if I don't see you in tomorrow's post don't miss me too much. BRB.

The Simple Beauty Saviors.

So Hi...

I was thinking the other week as I was going about my day and usual beauty routines that there are a few things that aren't often raved about, just because they are sort of expected, everyone uses them (Most people anyway) So I thought I would give a little shout out to a few beauty products that are our little saviors.

 Hand Cream:
Some people may be lucky enough to have constant smooth hands, but I think a lot of people like to use hand cream, your hands go through a lot day-to-day and can get really rough. so a hand cream to just moisturize and smooth your hands is always a plus. I'm using S&G hand food at the moment and it smells nice and makes my hands happy.
Make-up Remover:
So Probably not as used as hand cream but still an important little product. We spend so much time making sure our make-up lasts as long as possible, but this also means getting it off at the end of a long day can be a little painful. Now you could just try and wash your face and scrub it off but using a make-up remover and then washing your face give you that little bit cleaner face and makes sure your make-up is all off. I'm loving the Garnier Micellar cleansing water as it's super gentle but gets my make-up off great.
Sun-Cream:
Pretty damn important for your skin in Summer. No one likes to burn, it doesn't look great and it doesn't feel great. Tanning is all good but it's still important to tan without damaging our skin, and using sun cream is super important in this. I personally burn so easy, even in the English weather where the Sun is hardly ever out I can burn in about 10 minutes outside, so sun cream for me is SUCH a life saver. After sun is also a good thing to have for when you've forgotten to put on sun cream and do end up with a little burn.
Moisturizer:
Another skin product but keeping our skin healthy is important and moisturizer is a great help to this, it helps keep your skin from drying out and keeps it looking healthy. I use a number of different moisturizers, this particular one is just Vaseline coco butter.
Keeping your face moisturized is also important. I use The Body shop Vitamin E intense moisture cream. It makes my skin feel amazingly soft.

Lip Balms & scrubs:

Keeping your lips looking god is pretty important, especially for a girl like me that loves her lipstick. So making sure my lips are keep in good shape is something I always do. Though not everyone may use scrubs I think that balms are a pretty common product. The balm I'm currently using is the Nivea pearly shine balm, which has a lovely smell as well as keeping my lips from feeling dry. I use the Lush bubblegum lip scrub before the balm as well to help get rid of dead skin and give myself smooth lush lips.

And those are my important but simple beauty saviors. The Products most people use but probably don't think much about it.

Any other beauty products that you don't think about much but couldn't do without?

A week or so of outfits 3#

So hi...

Been a while since I put out one of these hasn't it? kinda been forgetting to photograph outfits, just due to exam and revision and all that malarkey, as such there's a little less than previous ones but enjoy.

Definitely liking my outfit choices a lot more recently, The end of summer has really seen myself stop caring about others opinions and starting to buy and wear things I really like just for myself and own sense of style. And I like it.

Notebook Organization!

So hi...


Similar to my obsessed with lists is my need for notebooks, I like having a notebook for everything.. As you can see I currently have 5 notebooks in use 6 if you count the one I don't have with me at uni. Anyway I love notebooks and trying to be organized though sometimes that fails. So I thought I'd go through what I use each note book for to keep me on track and motivated in all aspects of life.

So I'll start with the red book, this is my brainstorm book, When I have random thought for posts, or anything really, I write it down in here. it's a pretty messy book but it's essentail for me to clear out my mind and not forget my ideas and thoughts. I also write a few blog post lists out on here before typing them up. As well as non blogger related things such as youtube ideas, gaming posts and plans for cosplay. It's really just my mind dump. Next is the muti coloured patterned book. I've had this one since 2013, It's my most private book, It has my hopes and goals in it, as well as important details that I need to remember, like for last year before I started uni I wrote a load of details about the course and accommodation etc, just so I could look back on them and know whats going on. I also have cooking recipes at the back of it, though I'm planning to get a notebook just for my recipes. It's a pretty random loads of things but It's probably one of the mostimportant as it has so many personal notes for me.

The Last 3 notebooks you may have noticed are all diaries, but they do att have different uses I promise! The Burgundy one is a general used one, I note down important events I have on days and a general to do list each night for the next day, It's super helpful to plan out my day and i've myself some structure, especially now that summer holiday is here and I have nothing to do, setting little goals and a to do list will keep me moving.
The animals print diary is an actual diary, I write about my day in the 4/5 line space, so i can look back at the year, as well as a way to organize my scrapbook so I don't miss any important days of events, I can look through this diary.
The front little diary is my blogging diary. It's where I plan each week what posts I'm going to write and put up. It's been so useful over May with me posting everyday, I already have the whole month of posts written down for when I want them to be put up. So usually after I read through my brainstorm notebooks I can pick ideas I like enough to make into a post and then Schedule them down with this little wonder.
And Just to let you know what my last notebook at home contains, It's a rather new one but It's all about gaming plans and ideas as well as dress making notes, for both general clothes making as I want to become pretty good at it and for my cosplays.

And that's how I attempt to keep myself from becoming a lazy unorganized mess of a person, with the help of 5/6 notebooks. Probably a little excessive but it works for me.
Do you use notebooks to help you through the days?

Summer Hopes & plans 2015

So hi...

List type posts are so satisfying to write, I don't know why but It's just so simple and it makes me happy making lists. Seriously you guys should see some of my notebooks, list central (there actually will be a little look into my notebooks on Saturday 23rd) Anyway, to the point of this post, Summer is nearly here, though the change of warm sun the rain recently makes summer seem so far away... But for me it is well and truly here. I finish my last exam today and tomorrow I head back to my home town and it's officially the beginning of my Summer. As my year so far I feel has gone pretty damn well I'm hoping to have a very active and exciting Summer to continue my good year. I have a number of little things I want to do, some actual activities and other just general aims I hope to achieve over the whole of summer.

- Get a Summer job (Multiple if possible) -I've actually already got a small cleaning job thanks to my sister but I really want to get a lot of experience and work for savings.
- Aim for £500 towards savings - this is related to the job thing as obviously I need a job to earn money for my savings but I'm really hoping to get at least £500 for my car savings.
- Boost creativity - Not exactly Summer related but I'll have a lot of time to do this over Summer. I really hope to get back into drawing and painting, as well singing, thinking even to return to the old Youtubes.
- Get my Dress making on. - May have mentioned this before but I really want to get a hang of dressmaking, patterns and all. So over Summer I'm really looking forward to learning sewing and creating my own clothes, Also Considering to learn knitting or crocheting. 
- Get outside - Little more typical but I want to make a really strong effort to get out and about at least 3-4 days a week, whether that's with friends or just exploring things on my own.
- See the Uni people - Really want to stay in close contact with my friends I've made at Uni, They really mean a lot to me and It'd suck to not see them all Summer, Luckily we've already got a few plans and ideas which is super nice.
- Work on my Health and Fitness game - Already a work in progress this one but Summer gives so much opportunity to work on my self and own confidence and health. I've had a good head start the last few weeks of Uni and really hoping to continue this and as mentioned in the Instagram post I've put up I want to lose a bit of weight.
- Volunteer If I can for a concert or festival - This is a kinda random one I think would be amazing for experience and would just feel amazing, I obvious favourites to volunteer at would be the likes of Reading, Glastonbury and Download. But even a small time one would be super cool.
- Host or Attend A BBQ - Because how could you go the whole summer without having a BBQ?? that's right, you couldn't.
- Become more of a morning person. - I'm a super night owl. Honestly I have always had a super bad sleeping pattern, I'm one of those strange individuals who manages much better on smaller amounts of sleep. I wake up earlier and feeling better on 4/5 Hours sleep than I do 8+ hours sleep. But sleep is important so I want to try get myself up in the mornings as well as get a decent amount of sleep.
- Travel As much as I can - I'm not really talking abroad travelling here but just getting out of my home town, there's so many little places to do around Luton and even London is just up the road, So I wanna go and explore these places a lot more.
- Do want I want and be more adventurous. - I've gone through quite a few changes this year, I've really been able to 'find myself' and feel a lot more confident. A small example is my new piercings, I've wanted them for years, but worried so much about others views that I held back, now that I've got them I feel so much more confident and like my personality is being expressed better. I'm planning to continue this, say ye to more, Not worry about other others opinions and not be put down.

That's the whole of my little list of things I wanna do over the Summer this year.
What plans and hopes do you have for summer this year?

Those Statement Necklaces

So Hi...

I've always been into my necklaces, maybe because I feel like necklaces can look good no matter the size, It's easy sprucing up of an outfit. So along with this I'm a big fan of pretty statement necklaces to add a little more sparkle to a plain or casual outfit. Because of this love I'm got a tiny little collection of my to go statement necklaces which I thought I would show off.

 This first necklace is definitely my favourite, It's also probably the first proper chunky statement necklace I ever got, to the point that I don't remember where I got it from or whether I bought it for myself or it was a present, so it's a pretty old one, but It's such a bold statement piece. I always get compliments when I wear this necklace out and it makes an outfit look so much more flashy and add a little of a grunge feel to an outfit.

 This simple gold statement necklace was actually only £1 in a local store called 21 in Perry Barr along with the leaf one below which was also £1. What a bargain for a statement necklace! I love this necklace because it's super plain but at the same time paired with a plain black dress for example it makes such a difference and add so much to an outfit.

 This necklace as already mentioned was £1. It's another gold one and makes me think of Greek goddess for some reason, Also makes me think of a poison ivy as an outfit. It's such pretty looking and I love the details of the leaves.

 This is a super gothic looking necklace and I absolutely love it. It's the sort of necklace that looks absolutely amazing with shirts underneath the collar, So pretty and stylish looking.

 This one is a very cutesy necklace that I imagine I'll wear loads in the summer with pretty little summer dresses and play-suits. I think it's also a good choice when I wanna go extra girly looking on a night out or for a cute but smart outfit, I like that it looks like flowers/petals, or maybe that's just me.

This last one is a probably one of the plainest out of the lot and I surprisingly got it from Asda but It's a super sophisticated necklace and it makes me feel very grown up and lady like when I wear it. The woven detail is gorgeous as well.

And that's my little statement necklace collection, I have a huge collection of necklaces in general, Maybe I'll show it off in a blog post one day, though I wouldn't be able to talk about each one like this, we'd be here forever.
Which of these is your favourite necklace? let me know down in the section comments below.

Make-up Revolution Haul Part 2

So Hi...

Part 2 of my Make-up Revolution Haul today and this is a pretty small one, and it also has a little bit of a theme to it. All base related products aiming to improve mover all make-up application.

The first purchases I made is the Pro-face mini brush set. These are pretty adorable little face brushes. I went for the mini set purely because it was cheaper and I personally don't mind working with slightly smaller brushes. The brushes themselves feel lovely and soft and I now want a little candle holder or something to use as a little brush holder for them that can sit next to the bigger brushes.

As well as the mini set I also bought a normal sized brush. I bought the F101 Face brush, just because I don't really have any brushes I feel are really suited for foundation application and It's about time I got one, It's a pretty looking brush and feels super soft and if we get along I may have to purchase a few more brushes from Make up Revolution but we'll see.

The other two products I got are both dedicated to making my make-up last longer and hopefully look better overall. the Pro Fix Spray is something I've been wanting for a while, but so far it has always been sold out in Superdrug. I'm gutted to say that this product was leaking when it arrived so I'm missing half the product but I am waiting for a reply from Make up Revolution about this. But I'm really excited about using it. I also got thr Ultra all day prime and anti-shine balm which I have high hopes for, especially with the anti-shine part. I always feel like my face looks shiny, It's a major issue of mine and although it probably doesn't look anywhere near as bad as I think it's still an issue. So I'm hoping this product will lessen the shine factor and give me a few extra hours of wear for my make-up.

And those are the odd bit's I got in my huge Make-up revolution haul, The biggie is going to be in part 3 with the spring collection set.

Blogging everyday in May.

So hi..

I've seen around the interwebs at the beginning of May a few people deciding to blog or vlog (eg: lilly pebbles) everyday for the month of May. Now as someone who only posts 3 times a week on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I've never really considered doing something like this as I worry about ideas and posting just for the sake of posting. HOWEVER, I've been recently been doing really well with pre-planning and organizing on my blog, I've been good with writing my blog, having decent inspiration and keeping shizz scheduled. I had my posts planned for the whole month of may and still had a few ideas for what to do after. So I thought I'd challenge myself to blog everyday for a whole month. I've already been doing this pretty well so far and do have a lot of posts planned for the whole month. I'm also pretty proud with the posts, I don't feel like I've made up posts or random ideas just for the sake of it and they are posts I think will still hold some interest for readers.

So yeah, look forward to a whole bunch of posts from me this month.
