Cinema Etiquette

Image
In recent times I’ve noticed cinema etiquette seems to go right out the window. Whether it’s people checking their phones or talking or just sitting so close to you even when there’s no assigned seating. Let me just tell you that, if you’re checking your phone during the cinema. You’re not being subtle. Everyone can see the bright screen. Even if you turn the brightness down, it’s still in everyone’s line of sight. Going to the cinema isn’t cheap and it’s an experience. It’s a chance to escape for some people which means not checking your phone for two hours. If you’re really concerned about checking your phone, take it outside for a couple of minutes or better yet, sit at the back of the theatre so nobody can see you. It’s always the people that sit near the front that check their phones and maybe they’re oblivious to people behind them but guess what when you check your phone, everyone’s eyes are on you. Which is really frustrating because I'm supposed to be looking at the big sc...

What's In My Going Out Bag?

Image
As it's party season, I thought it would be a good idea to share what's in my going out bag as I'm going on a night out for Mad Friday this week and I'm so excited. Plus I thought it would be fun to share what I like to bring with me on a night out, let's get started. This is my going out bag and I've had this bag for over ten years. I originally got it from Matalan and I love it because it's a small clutch bag with a little strap, but you can surprisingly fit a lot in it. Also with the strap allows you to hold it in your hand, on your wrist and shoulder which is always handy. It's definitely a preference of mine. I don't like big bags and I get sick of cross body bags. This just makes it easier for me to carry on a night out.  Let's take a look inside. The first essential of a night out is always my phone. I just have an iPhone 11 which I find works for me. I got this case from Amazon and the pop socket is from Amazon. It actually works as a pho...

Going Out Makeup

Image
It's party season with work dos, nights out and Christmas parties so it's always good to have a plan for your going out makeup. I thought I'd share what I like to wear for when I go on a night out, especially at this time of year. Let's get started.  L'Oreal True Match Foundation This is a new foundation I've got, I decided to treat myself to a good quality foundation as I only ever use foundation for nights out and thought this would be perfect. I've heard lots of people recommend it and I thought I'd give it a try especially as I've got my work's Christmas party and another night out this month, Studio London Flawless Cream Concealer I've been loving this concealer for ages. It blends so well into the skin and you hardly notice it's there. It has good coverage and it's reasonable in price which is always a bonus. I wear this for everyday use and for nights out so it gets so much usage out of me.  Collection Gorgeous Glow Blush Stick...

Trip To Liverpool and Manchester

Image
Last weekend me and my mum decided to take a trip up north. We decided to visit Liverpool for one night before heading to Manchester for two nights. Here’s how it went down. On Thursday we booked the Magical Mystery Tour which I’d highly recommend because not only do you get to iconic landmarks like Penny Lane and Strawberry fields but you get to see some of the homes of the Beatles. Plus not only do you get excellent commentary from the tour guide, you get to listen to Beatles music on the drive around the city. Our tour guide was Tony and our bus driver was Dennis who were both amazing on the day.  Also the magical mystery tour gets you 15% off the Cavern Restaurant as well as a free entry plus souvenir postcard from The Cavern Club. On that particular day as well there was a Beatles Tribute band playing as well as a Father Christmas. It was a great evening all in all and worth it. The next day we travelled to Manchester. While on the way we were deciding what we were going to do...
