The Sunday Post: I'm one lucky girl!

 I have the best friends, and what's better than a good gossip and a mid-day drinking session? This Douwe Egberts Delicate Vanilla flavour coffee is almost as good - we all need a little luxury! I picked up this shirt for just £3.50! I look awful in this picture, but it's a red satin shirt with a dog-tooth print (I think that's what you call it..). A week late - but I really don't mind - my Easter treats from my boyfriend and his family. I also got a little more from his family, but I shared those with Mike this weekend. Can't wait to settle down with the Ferrero Roche's and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I'd love to read the book!

The highlights of my week had to be receiving this card from the vets who dealt with Louis. How lovely of them, and so unexpected! I love the little note in the bottom corner. I was VERY happy when this little package dropped through my letterbox on Friday morning! I'll be writing a post about these very soon, and I can't wait!

Favourite Book: 48 Hours by J Jackson Bentley - Free on iTunes


I'm hoping to start doing these posts a lot more often, but I'm so shoddy on keeping up with taking pictures!

my week on instagram

I'm an instagram newbie I'm afraid, so these pictures aren't the best. That doesn't help that they were taken on my iPod haha!

Louis has a poorly nose :( | Broken my toe! So swollen and bruised | Selfie - my eyebrows look ridiculously uneven! | Spoons with Louis

my week in photos #2

| 1. It's officially Christmas now the Coca-Cola ad is on our screens!| 2. My cat gets very paranoid over the length of his toenails, he's a little vain.| 3. Star Wars with my beautiful(ish) boyfriend!| 4. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...| 5. Louis enjoys laying in the kitchen sink with the scourer whilst he's alone.| 6. Sent my Christmas list to Michael.| 7. I'm going to London with my best friend!| 8. We bought the cats new beds, cuties.| 9. I made a chocolate cake!|



I've had quite a good week! I had my first day at College being an English Language mentor and it went really well, I'm excited to go back on Tuesday, not looking forward to the interview! I've hardly worked at Mind last week though which is kind of sad! I love working there, but it's difficult volunteering at two places now, I really need some kind of paid job. I have an interview at River Island in a couple of weeks though, so any advice would be so good! Especially with an outfit, I've been told to wear what I think represents the company, anyone got any outfit ideas?
Me and my mum got a load of Christmas shopping done on Saturday, which meant loads of perfume testers and a very uncomfortable bus journey.
I went to Mike's on Thursday, stayed over on Friday till Saturday and it was so nice, I really enjoy spending proper time with him. We'll see each other occasionally after work but we're both tired and drained. As much as I love sleeping with him, I do NOT love when he wakes me up going through boxes and rambling like Pitbull. Definitely want to video him though, I reckon he'd find it so funny.
My cat is the biggest poser ever, he's a right menace!

So yeah, I have another busy week ahead too, I'm hoping to do some more posts, hopefully they will be better quality, I'm just really struggling, I have loads of products I'd love to talk about but struggling to say what I want, bloggers block?


Link me to your week in pictures, I can be a right nosy mare sometimes.. Take care and have a beautiful week!

my week so far + beauty blogger tag

Hello! This past week has been quite busy for me. My parents went away on Monday for a couple of days so I had Michael round and made a lovely Spaghetti Bolognese for our tea. Then I carved my first ever pumpkin on Tuesday! Here's a quick picture:

Theeen it was Mike's mum's birthday on Wednesday, so we went out for tea and some of the family and friends were there, it was lovely as always! On Saturday I went over to Mike's for a Star Wars-athon, but fell asleep during number 5, didn't go down too well! But we went to a bonfire on his family's farm that evening and it was really nice! We played Mario Kart all the next morning like any other 18 and 19 year old couple...

Anyway, my week has been good, but I wanted something a little different to what I usually post to do today, and I came across this beauty bloggers tag on Kimberley's blog and thought I'd give it a go.

I don't really polish them unless I'm going to be bare feet or anything like that!

Forever, sadly. Usually about 25-30 minutes, god knows why.

10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?

I don't exactly collect it, but if I see something that I really want to try, I'll get it, whether I need it or not.

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes? 

I used to wear them often, but I stopped and now I just can't seem to be able to put them on.

No, unless I get really bored, I like to try out different looks

I don't really own any. I'd love to try some out, but I can never save my money for long enough to buy any!

I don't actually use any make up brushes, apart from for eyeshadows, but I very rarely wear it.

I read every comment and make sure I reply to them all. I find it important that my readers know I appreciate them.
