It's that time of the month again...

...and I'm feeling so rubbish and I never want to leave the bed. The pain is unbearable, the mess is gross and i've got five days of it. Food is the best way to get through it. You can eat as much as you want for the next five days, because you deserve it. Your body is aching, it's doing natural stuff that is gross and painful, and your hormones are making you cranky and sad. I am one of those girls who can't take the...

Nail Art #11 | Bubble Nails & Exciting Nail News!

This manicure was one of the most annoying yet easiest to create. I painted my nails in Barry M's Sugar Apple and let them dry. Then, I put some white acrylic paint onto foil, mixed with a bit of water, then used a nail art brush to put blobs of paint onto the nail. I dabbed the excess onto a paper towel, then put the brush back into the blobs to soak up the paint. While it was easy, it was annoying trying to get...

Eastpak have a competition running on Twitter where you can win a new Eastpak bag and luggage bag if you tweet a freshers tip to Eastpak, using #madeforfreshers in your tweet.

Special Delivery #3 | YOU Beauty

On Friday, I received a (slightly damaged) box from YOU Beauty Discovery, which is a bit of a lengthy name for a beauty box, and it is not as popular as Birchbox and Glossybox. The difference with YOU Beauty Discovery box is that you can pick two products each month to go into your box, as well as receiving products picked by the YOU Beauty team. Having already received Toni & Guy Volumising Whip in July's...

Special Delivery #2 | September Birchbox!

It's that time of the month again! Beauty boxes are being sent out and every blogger posts about it. Including me. Anyway...  This month's theme is 'Happy Days', focusing on photographs and sharing memories. The Birchbox can be reused to make a photoframe, which is such a cute idea I can't believe I've never thought about doing that before. This is one of the best boxes I've received from Birchbox. I mean,...

It's September 1st! Where's my Hogwarts letter?

Hogwarts, I am very much aware that I am 21 and will not be attending any further educational courses, but seriously, where was that letter when I was 11 years old? Hogwarts (and the whole wizarding universe) have some serious explaining to do! Like... Why weren't care services involved with Harry's upbringing? A room under the stairs?! Threatening to not give Harry a week of meals? Did the students have some sort...
