Nails of the Week #5

Wednesday, July 30, 2014
A new week, a new colour and I was fancying something bright.  Barry M Hi Shine Gel Nail Paints are awesome. That's easily the best way to describe them. They're hard wearing, apply like a dream, have great shine and are inexpensive, costing around £3.99 - bargain!  ...

Love Me Beauty July Box Review

Sunday, July 27, 2014
You know what? Love Me Beauty is doing pretty damn well in my eyes. My second box has now arrived and I am impressed!  Again, the three menus were so difficult to choose from - I wanted each one! I decided to go for Menu 1 as it had a few things I was intrigued to try. I was also incredibly happy to...

Birthday Bonus: A Weekend of Deliciousness

Saturday, July 26, 2014
Is "deliciousness" even a word? If it isn't, it should be as it sums up my birthday weekend perfectly!  London offers up some fabulous restaurants, cafés and food joints so when myself, my Mum and my Aunt headed there for a weekend I saw a little bonus post in the making.  We travelled up on the Saturday morning, stopping at the services for...

Nails of the Week #4

Wednesday, July 23, 2014
With an extremely busy week ahead where I was going to be doing two completely different things (a long weekend in London for my birthday followed by a few days camping in Wales), I just knew choosing a colour was going to be an arduous task. I wanted something that would look eye-catching when I glammed up for the big city but would also look...

'Fractured' By Dani Atkins

Sunday, July 20, 2014
I adore reading! I'd read all day, every day if I could but alas, I have to work, eat, sleep... Every so often a book really stands out. Whether it's because it has an awesome twist, has me in tears or in stitches throughout, if I related to it somehow or simply just enjoyed it for no deep reason. Therefore, I've decided that I am going to...

Mini Boots Haul

Friday, July 18, 2014
Not to get all boastful but I'm pretty proud of myself right now. I worked especially hard on a project at work and it got noticed by higher management, meaning I was rewarded with £20 to use at a choice of shops - go me! Scrolling through the list of places, my eyes fell on "Boots" and that was it, a few buttons...

Nails of the Week #3

Wednesday, July 16, 2014
I don't know why but for the past couple of weeks I have had a real hankering for nude nails. Suffice to say that this week's varnish, Maybelline Color Show in 'Latte', definitely reflected that. I even managed to choose straight away - what's going on?! ...

Nails of the Week #2

Wednesday, July 09, 2014
Another week, another nail colour and this time, I was feeling something nude. I must have at least three or four boxes full of varnishes so choosing was going to be a difficult task...

Two Weeks, Two Books, One Author

Sunday, July 06, 2014
Confession time: I maaay have a secret-that's-not-so-secret love for McFly - seriously though, who doesn't find themselves singing along to their incredibly catchy tunes?! Well when I saw that Tom Fletcher's wife, Giovanna, had not only written one book, but two, I simply had to check them out.

Wednesday, July 02, 2014
If you read my first ever post you will know that I planned to start off posting on Friday and Sunday evenings. That was all good and well, until I started realising that I had a lot to talk about and not enough time to do it in; therefore I've decided to add an extra posting day - yay! I'm going to start a series...
