September Favourites

Image
As we are at the end of September I thought it would be a great time to share all the things I've loved this month.  Let's get started! 1. Wizards Of Waverly Place This was honestly one of my favourite TV shows when I was a teenager. It was very relatable and I definitely related to the character of Alex growing up. I actually started watching the series earlier this year and got to the beginning of Season 3. This month though I was trying to figure out something to watch and decided to continue where I left off with Season 3 and I'm glad because I do enjoy this show. I've been meaning to binge watch all the Disney Channel shows I used to watch for the longest time but I only ever got so far. Now though I'm confident I will finish watching Wizards Of Waverly Place as I've just finished Season 3 this month so I'm on track to completing the series. This is definitely a show I've been loving this month.  2. With This Kiss by Carrie Hope Fletcher I finally g...

Everyday Makeup

Image
An oldie but a goodie. I thought I'd share my everyday makeup with you all. This is the same makeup I've been using everyday for work and I honestly love it. It's natural and simple which makes it perfect for everyday use, so let's get started.  When I start with my makeup, I always start with my brows and I use two products for my brows. 1. Revolution Pro Brow Powder - Blonde Shade 2. Benefit Gimme Brow Gel - Shade 1 After doing my brows I then move on to concealer 3. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Rose Porcelain I then set my concealer with a powder 4. Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder - Translucent I then move on to adding colour to my face. I use contour blush and highlighter from this palette. As you can see I've hit the pan so much on the contour that there's barely any left. That's how much I love this quad palette. 5. Collection Gorgeous Glow Face Palette After shaping my face with colour, it's time for the eyes and for as long as I can ...

My Reading Plans

Image
If you've read my blog in the past, you know I've made many posts about books and that's because I love to read. I've done this back in July and I realise there's a few books from that post on here still. That's because I'm a huge procrastinator but I thought I'd share my reading plans for the rest of the year. I currently only have seven books on my bookshelf to read then I will complete my goal of reading all the books on my bookshelf which is a goal I never thought I'd achieve. Although the temptation to buy more books is very real either way, all the books I want to read and hope to finish by the end of this year. Let's get started.  Currently Reading One Enchanted Evening by Katie Fforde This book is one I'm enjoying so far. It's a nice story of haters to lovers kind of story is what I'm assuming is going to happen. The main character is called Meg which I'm very happy about as that's the main reason why I bought this boo...

Why I'm Not Dating At The Moment?

Image
Honestly, I've been single for many years and of course I've dated guys in the past. In fact this year, I got to experience my first boyfriend which is honestly an achievement because all the guys I dated in the past never wanted anything serious or just kept it very casual to the point where I sometimes question did it even happen? Are they even an ex? Anyway, I got to experience my very first official relationship for five happy months until it came to a sudden end. It sucks but that's life. I'm now constantly being reminded by other people that he wasn't the one for you or you'll find someone better and my personal favourite is there are plenty of fish in the same. I'm just going to say it right now, there's not plenty of fish out there. Majority of the fish want to keep it casual and the rest just completely ignore you and go for the easier targets.  Anyway, I've been single since May and it's got me thinking about whether I should go back to...

Surviving Freshers Week

Image
Freshers week is essentially a week of events at university that is just before term begins and it's often a jam packed week that older students are familiar with but for a first year it may seem quite daunting. That's why I thought I'd share my tips on how to survive Freshers week so that you can feel more prepared for what's to come.  1. Take It Easy Don't go too hard on the drinking. It can be very tempting but remember you'll get to experience being a first year at Fresher's only once and it's not as exciting in the following years. Whether you're drinking or not drinking, you don't want to be the drunk person that people can't control. Remember fresher's is about making first impressions on your flatmates, coursemates and other students so try to be the good kind of fresher that takes it easy and not uncontrollable. 2. Line your stomach A very crucial element whenever it comes to drinking alcohol and particularly if you're planni...

My University Tips

Image
As someone who has been to University twice to study a Bachelor and Master degree, I think I know a thing or two about university. It's coming up to the time of year where university is beginning and there's probably many freshers nervous about going or things they may need to bring. Well, I got you covered because I'm going to share my top ten tips for university as a bit of reassurance. This also may be useful to any returning students as I found some useful tips from posts and YouTube videos whenever I returned to university every year. Either way I hope this is helpful to any students out there looking for a bit of guidance as they prepare to go to University this year. 1. Get all your student finance sorted before you go The one crucial element is making sure you get your student finance sorted. In the UK, I know with undergraduates there's two elements of the finances. One is for the tuition fees that automatically gets paid in three parts at the start of each ter...

Screen Time

Image
It's kind of scary how often we are on phones, tablets and laptops. Even now as you're reading this post, it's through a screen. One thing I did a while ago was activate my Apple screen time which sends me a weekly reminder of how much screen time I've had on it which is honestly quite scary when you realise how many hours you spend on your phone. A lot of the time my screen time averages between six to eight hours which may not seem like a lot but remember we're asleep for eight hours during the night which means roughly 16 hours is during the day and if you minus the screen time, it means you're spending half the day you're awake on your phone which is kind of crazy.  Now, I'm not making this post to say get off your phone because a lot of the time we need our phones. Sometimes, we're just watching a video which can take some time. My guilty thing is I watch a lot of true crime videos that tend to be an hour long on my phone. Although I'm often...

I Heart Autumn

Image
For me when September arrives, it's the start of Autumn. I love Autumn for a number of reasons.  The weather is starting to cool down a bit more.  September is the start of the school year so it kind of feels like the time for new beginnings.  October is my birthday month and Halloween.  Autumn is the perfect excuse to have cosy movie nights and drink hot chocolate.  Plus November has bonfire night and the build up to Xmas.  I just love this time of year. I definitely prefer the colder months compared to the hotter months as it's so much easier to wrap up warm than it is to cool down.  So yeah, I really love Autumn and I'm so excited for these next few months as I have so much planned which I'm so excited about. I will definitely blog it all when it happens.  That's all I have to say about why I love Autumn. Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post. See you then.
