Back to Uni - Stationary Haul:

Image
Hey you lovely bunch, how are you all? I've not been on here in a while and I must admit I had one hectic summer this year. I had so many days working which I'm not complaining about because money but I've also been busy with my family and reading all the summer books.  Now that I'm back at uni and a week in to my second year, I'm really loving having the routine back and getting back to my studies.  I promised you many weeks ago a stationary haul and I let my blog drift away for a while but I'm back! So here is the stationary haul... I am a sucker for a stationary haul and anything to do with pens and notepads. Honestly, I will have a cupboard full of notepads that are empty and I will still buy another one thinking I have none left, silly really but a girl can never have enough stationary. Anyhow, first of all I picked up this gorgeous planner from TkMaxx, they have the most amazing mid year planners so I would 100% recommend.  I ...

Lonely Planet - My Picture Bucket list:

Image
If I had all the money in the world I would travel everywhere. But I don't so I guess a girl can dream haha. There are many places I wish I could go to. I have a bucket list that I so want to tick off. I have currently five ticked off already: America, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Amsterdam and Switzerland. In each place I've travelled around and really found the places I love. In America I have been to Florida, Orlando and I've been to New York. In Tenerife I have explored both the north and the south. I think I know Tenerife inside and out. Anyway, I always get side tracked, I have a huge passion for travel and like many of you know I aim to be a travel writer one day. So, as it's a passion of mine I started exploring the Lonely Planet more and I adore the site and all the materials they create. For this post, I've decided to explore their site and show you some pictures they have up on their socials and images that others have created too, just so we can all...

My Travel Playlist:

I love travelling and as many of you will know I’ve recently come back from my holiday to Tenerife and I’m gutted! It was such a wonderful holiday and I loved spending time with my family. For this blog post, I thought I would piece together my favourite songs at the minute that I loved whilst travelling on flight, whilst getting ready on holiday and the ones I loved whilst chilling around the pool. The playlist has way over 100 songs so I'm going to add a list for you to browse. So there is a mixture. I am obsessed with Lewis Capaldi at the minute, he is amazing! I can't get enough of his recent album, obsessed. I'm also loving all the old summer classics that will always get me in the mood like Summer by Calvin Harris, Whistle by Flo Rida and lastly, Despacito. Not only the old classics I'm loving the new ones like High Hopes and I Don't Care. These songs are great. All in all, I think this playlist is just a big pile of all the songs I like an...

What I do whilst on a plane:

Image
Long flights or flights in general can get boring if you don't have anything to do. I often, however, take way too much stuff in my carry on bag that it becomes impossible to get bored on a flight. There are many things you can do to keep yourself entertained whilst on the plane. I find it so uncomfortable to nap on a plane, my neck feels awkward on the seat and even rested on the side of the plane if I'm in a window seat. So I rarely nap on a flight. So what do I do instead... READ: I love reading a good book, this is the main thing I do when I'm away on holiday. I always take two books and I always finish them both. I think this is such a handy tip. I know a lot of my friends are not into reading much but even if you pick up a couple of magazines before you head away, I think it's so worth it.  It's also nice to escape into another reality whilst being on the flight, if you're surrounded by annoying things, you can just get lost ...

Current everyday eyeshadow:

Hey everyone, how are you? I go on holiday next Friday and I am so excited to head away and sunbathe. Sorry I know I mention this in every blog post recently, I'm just very excited!! Today's blog post is all about my recent love for eyeshadow. I thought I'd take you through step by step how I apply my eyeshadow and what products I use, including the Naked Heat and Naked Cherry pallets. So first of all I apply foundation and concealer to my eyelids and the whole of my face, this is my base layer and it makes the eyeshadow much more pigmented in my opinion. I use the Collection foundation at the minute and although I am finding it quite cakey I think it is great for coverage. I have got the lightest shade as I'm quite pale but I know as soon as I come home from Tenerife I won't be able to use it anymore haha. I then use my stay matte powder, my Soph X highlighter and my bronzer/contour to structure my face. I also apply my eyebrows, I use Benefit...
