Back to normality..:)

Hey Guys!!

Sorry I've been such a rubbish blogger at the minute.. Uni has literally been crazy! I've had so much work to do. I've finished my final major project now! (YAY)

It consisted of a 13 minute documentary, 10 minutes of audio, 36 images, and 4500 words. 

My last deadline is on Friday. Its quite scary to think how quickly the last three years have gone and that soon I will be getting my first proper full time job. Something other than waitressing and bar work, which is scary but exciting. 

I have been shopping recently. Been loving Primark at the minute. I never normally buy anything from there, which is probably down to the fact that it is always chaos! Especially the Oxford Street one in London. Anyway, I'm hoping to when I finish to do lots of outfit posts, maybe a haul. I want to spend more time blogging. What posts would you guys like to see? 

Also I am doing race for life in 6 weeks time! So if you would like to sponsor me I would really appreciate it! you can do that HERE. I am raising money for Cancer Research. Any donation will help big or small and its for such an amazing cause. 

Have any of you been doing exams? Or had lots of coursework?

My lip pet hate..

Hello Everyone! Hope your all okay :)

This is probably going to sound like a bit of a rant post.. However, its not intended to be so in advance I am very sorry if it is. I know most girls will agree with me when I say having dry, chapped lips is one of the worst things? If you think this, and get dry lips quite often then carry on reading... 

Ever since about the age of 16 when my friend introduced me to this lip balm...

Carmex - £2.69

I have always gone out and brought it.. I've been using it a lot recently because for some reason my lips have been getting dry every few days.. One day they will be completely fine and then the next.. VOILA, they are dry again! SO frigging annoying. Anyway.. 

I used to think that Carmex was the best lip balm ever, no exaggeration. I used to love it. Theres something about the smell too. Im quite a big fan of it. However, the last few weeks when i've been using it on a daily basis. I've been some what disappointed with it and i've kind of lost my love for it? I don't feel that it works as good as what I need it to. 

When I apply it to my dry lips. It sort of instantly makes them feel smooth and soft and completely normal, but then about an hour later after its worn of my lips they start to feel as if they are getting dry again. 

I will probably carry on using this until I finish it, because I HATE wasting products too. But once I'm getting to the end of it I will think about purchasing something else within the lip balm department. 

What Lip balms would you recommend?

That spring time feeling :)

Hello Everyone :) 

New Look Tunic Dress - £19.99

Primark tights

Zara bag (old)

BOOHOO boots - £25.00

Hope your all okay :) In the last outfit post I did, I mentioned that I had taken a trip to New Look and brought a few pieces. I found this dress which I thought was an absolute bargain. The pictures don't do it justice (I was in a rush taking them so apologies for that! *bad blogger, slaps wrist*) Anyway its a lovely corally/pinky colour which I absolutely love and is perfect for spring! You can't really see in the picture but it has some gold zips which I think add a more sophisticated feel to the dress. 

I wore this dress with THESE black boots from BOOHOO which I'm completely in love with. They are so comfy and the perfect height. When the weather gets a bit warmer here in the UK I would obviously get my legs out instead of wearing tights and I would probably wear sandals instead of boots. 

At the moment I'm trying to get out of wearing disco pants and a top/jumper all the time. And jazz up my wardrobe a little bit by buying more dresses. I always have to wear something that is comfy I don't think there is anything worse than not being comfy in clothing, so I guess thats why I go for the easy option of leggings/disco pants and a top/jumper... But I'm being WILD and wearing more dresses at the moment... So look out for more outfit posts where I am NOT wearing disco pants/leggings and a comfy top! 

Is there anything that you have brought recently that you thought was a complete bargain? Leave the links below!

Clarins - My life saviour!

Since a young age, I've always suffered with dry skin. During my childhood I had really bad eczema and dry skin too. As I reached my teenage years it became more of a problem to me as I started to get paranoid about it and wanted to get rid of it & no matter what I tried nothing EVER seemed to work, it always worked to a certain extent and then tablets, creams ect wouldn't do anything. Luckily i've seemed to of grow out of it, but sometimes when I'm stressed or upset I will get it back a bit, I tend to get really bad skin during the colder months too & we get a lot of them in England. 

Clarins HydraQuench Cream normal to dry skin - £34

Clarins HyydraQuench Intensive Serum - £48 ( for a big bottle)

Clarins moisture rich body lotion for dry skin - £30

I've been using these products for about 2 years now. Since i've been at uni I haven't been one for using expensive products, but I find if I don't then my skin will always be dry. Luckily I don't get spots & oily skin so Im lucky in that respect. When my skin is very dry I use the intensive serum and then I apply the cream afterwards. When my skin is good ( like it is now) I use the body lotion on my face and all over my body after a shower ect. If it wasn't for these products I don't know what I would do, so if you suffer with dry skin I would definitely recommend these products to you. 

Do you suffer from dry skin? - If you do what do you find works for you?
