Weekend in Manchester

Image
Well hey there! So this weekend my family and I ventured out to Manchester to watch the Manchester City Vs Chelsea game to celebrate my dad's birthday. We left on the Friday and stayed at the Travelodge smack in the center of the city itself which was so lovely. The room was very clean and modern and me and Naomi (my sister) had a pretty decent view. The game was on Saturday so we spend the rest of Friday night at T.G.I Friday's, which lets face it is the best place ever! I got a Jack Daniel's Burger (of course) and unfortunately the excitement of the food and my hunger must have gotten the better of me because I forgot to take photos :-( But take my word for it, it was amazing! The next day we spent it shopping - yay! I got myself some lovely bits and bobs that I've wanted for ages, especially from Lush, so another post might be needed. Then we made our way to the match, and I was all kitted out in my hoodie and scarf. I've never be

Recent Favourites

Well hey there! Huge apology for the lack of posts lately, school work is slowly taking over my life and leaving me with a non-existent social life and seriously sleep deprived.

So it isn't a lot but here are some recent discoveries of products/stuff I've become completely obsessed with starting with the Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush in 'Not An Illusion'. This is great to wear on a day-to-day basis or for a school day look as it just gives a tint of colour but isn't too glossy.

Well hey there! So January has finally gone, and good riddance because spring/summer can't come any sooner! As my little reminder of the warmer months, I've been indulging in two gorgeous scents, Daisy by Marc Jacobs (of course) and my new discovery thanks to my sister, The Body Shop Eau De Toilette in Moringa. Most people know the lovely collection of perfumes Marc Jacobs has but I will forever stay faithful to Daisy and has always been a stern favourite of mine. This is a 50ml bottle from Debenhams, and if you aren't a fan of the smell (how could you not!) the packaging alone amazing, you can't go wrong with some white and gold flowers. With its sweet but sophisticated scent this perfume always brings me back to summer. The next scent I've been obsessed with this month is The Body Shop Eau De Toilette in Moringa. It's perfect if you need a little spritz throughout the day. My sister bought this for me for Christmas along with some other Body Sh
