August Favourites ♡

Firstly where has August gone? Secondly Happy September guys! This was my favourites through out August.


1. Victoria Secret Fragrance Mist (RRP: £9.35)

I currently have 3 VS sprays left out of 7 thats how much I love them! The ones I have left are; Endless Love, Aqua Kiss and Sheer Love. When I spray any of the scents I get tons of compliments and people ask what perfume I am wearing and they are shocked when I say its a body mist as they are so scented! They used to retail for £13 each and now they have
been permanently reduced to £9.35 which will help my bank account haha.




2. Alex And Ani Bracelet (RRP: £24-£30)

My mum bought me this as our "summer surprise" (Family tradition) and there has not been a day I have not wore this, it goes with everything and they are also stunning stacked on top of other bracelets or more Alex And Ani bracelets.





3. Mac Velvet Teddy Lipstick (RRP: £15.50)

The "in" thing is Kylie Jenner's nude lip, which I am also a fan of and this is actually the lipstick she wears and since I am a fan I decided to jump on the ban waggon and get it and let me say I am glad I did as they sold out soon after for ages and its beautiful and suits almost every skin tone but mainly more tanned skin (like Kylie's).


4. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine 85 Secret Lipstick (RRP: £25)

This is such a beautiful pinky nude shade which is one of my favourite shades to wear. I am aware the price is not for everyone and is a splurge but this lasts all day (even when eating!) and is so creamy and moisturising on the lips.






5. More Than This By Patrick Ness (RRP: £12.99)

I am a HUGE fan of reading and this book is amazing, without spoiling it I
cant say much but please trust me and pick this up... you wont regret it thats for sure.



6. Personal sign (£25)

Now this wont be for everyone but there is a Facebook page called "The artful buttoner" she hand makes signs. She asks about colour scheme and things and you can have any number or letter and you can send small objects to her so she can put it on your letter (which i did) and you can make it as personal as you like.

About me ♡

As I am new to the blogging world I thought its about time you guys got to know me better!


1. Who do you look up to?

 I look up yo a lot of people but the person i look up to the most would have to be my grandma or my  mum because they are amazing and life by the best sayings.

2. Do you have pets?

 Yes I have 2 dogs a Chihuahua and a Staffie, instantly I thought tai (Staffie) wouldn't get along  with Teddy (Chihuahua) but they get on so well they are always found on my bed snuggled up  together.

3. Whats you favourite high-end and drug store makeup product?

 My favourite High-end product would have to be either mac lipsticks or mac face+ body foundation,  and for drugstore i would have to say loreal true match foundation because i love the results of that.

4. Have you ever regretted anything?

 Personally i am a HUGE believer of "Everything happens for a reason" which to me has got me  through a lot of hard times so i would have to say no not really.

5. Are you organised?

 If you know me, you will know that I have about 20 notebooks filled with lists and i love planners  and making it look cute with stickers etc, but yes i am supper organised 

So these are just 5 quick questions and answers about me to help you get to know me more, if there is a question you have about my write it in the comments and I will get back to you.

Pay Day Wish List ♡

My Pay Day is at the middle of the month and this is what I plan on buying.






1. This kimono is from new look and is £19.99 and in my mind it would go lovely with a outfit I have planned, which excites me very much.







2. I am a huge sucker for high heel shoes, these are also from new look. I just think heels make any outfit complete and the detail on these shoes are beautiful, these shoes are £29.99 which is pricey but worth every penny. I tried them on in the store and they felt like clouds thats how comfy there where.




3. I currently own 2 pair of topshop jeans and they are so comfy and i could just wear them everyday and not feel like they are cutting into me like most jeans do. The in thing at the moment is jeans with cuts in by the knees which I personally like, so these jeans are again slightly pricey but if they are anything like my other pairs i will get so much wear out of them. These are £42.

4. I am obsessed with daisy perfume and i have been eyeing this one for a while which i finally plan on getting because i am obsessed with the scent. For 50ml (which i will be getting) is £52 but I know 110% this will get used every day!











5. Finally this Iphone 6 plus case from skinnydip (sold in river island and topshop) and it says "pizza queen" on with images of pizza... what more in my life could i need? this case for the Iphone 6 plus is £14.99 but just look at it, who could say know to this beauty?





Please note I will be buying all this with my own money that i work hard for :)
Also in case you didnt see my last post i will be posting every: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 4.30pm (UK Time)

Lush favourites ♡

Hi guys! Todays post is going to be my top 5 lush favourites!

Now i just want to say lush can be pricy but to me they help calm me which helps me A LOT as i am always stressed.




1. Twilight Bath Ballistic.

Twilight is designed to help you sleep, as the calming lavender smell treats insomnia. I am really bad at getting to sleep at night but let me tell you how helpful this is... its a true life saver for me! 







2. Ceridwens caldron melt.

Pop this bath melt into a nice warm bath and let the oils ooze out of the netting around, with the oats thats let you can use it as a scrub. This doesn't have the best smell but it is amazing for people with dry patches (for me my elbows and knees)







3. Big shampoo.


Big shampoo has a very weird almost like wet sand texture but let me tell you this shampoo is the only shampoo i am willing to try and i have repurchased many of times because it makes my hair silky, less frizzy and super duper soft.







4. Cupcake face mask.


I have struggled keeping my skin at bay for about 8 months, i have very oily skin with acne and the women in lush recommended this to me and now I use it every Sunday night to relax and it has made a drastic change in my skin (in a good way haha)



5. Fun


Now at heart I am a big kid and i love a bath time when i get my fun out and create shapes and patterns then use it as soap for my body, personally i think this is the bed idea ever! To me the smell is really nice as i expected it to smell like play-doh. Fun lasts a very long time and comes in a lot of different colours (including my favourite colour... pink )




P.S I pinky promise i will upload a new post every: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 4.30pm

Saving up...♡

Now before we get started I just want to say I am definitely not an expert at saving. Lately I have been trying to save up some pennies to buy myself a car... at first I thought I don't think this will work but it has and thats why today I am doing a post on how to save, my tips and tricks that have worked for me. You may not be saving for a car you may be saving for a new handbag or a holiday but hopefully these few tips and trick I am sharing will help you :)

1. Get organised, have separate accounts and use banking apps!  

I love having separate accounts so when I get payed I can just make a simple transfer to my savings account and its quick and easy and I can do it all on my phone.

2. Sell you unwanted items!

In the past I have done several carboot sales (garage sales in the US) which if you have the patience to stand around waiting for people to come over and look at your items then its a great way to sell unwanted toys, clothes, bag etc. I also use Ebay and depop to sell at lot of my things, and there are lots of recycling programs for DVD's, books and cds.

3. Making simple cuts in life!

This one was hard for me as I love magazines and getting my nails professionally done and on the cheeky occasion I will treat myself to these as I had to cut them down a lot as I would buy a magazine every week and once or twice a week manicures cost a fortune! I also took the time to look at my Netflix account and realise I had the most expensive package when only I used it so I put it to the lowest costing one, so make sure you are not paying for something you don't need.

4. Spending your money wisely!

I love going to the salon and being pampered but why not go to your local collage and get it done for free? Take the train a lot? Get a railcard it saves you a lot of money if you find yourself on trains quite often. Don't forget your loyalty cards whenever you shop, this can save you quite a lot of money in the long run especially supermarkets. 

5. Writing and sticking to a list!

If you write a list and vow to stick to it you will find yourself doing so, it helps you buy just what you need instead of getting distracted by other things you DONT need! Top tip: don't go food shopping on a empty stomach, haha.

6. Get a piggy bank!

Pop you spare change into a piggy bank as it soon mounts up and if it is not in your purse you cant spend it!

So there we have it saving for that something special, pay off debts or if your living life on a tight budget!
