Now let's all give ourselves a 'pat on the back' yes, we made it successfully to 2019. I have never written a year review ...
Hey,
Just a quick update!
I am so happy to announce that my little blog hit 10,000 views a couple of days ago! I started this blog on the 3rd November 2014 and since then 10,000 people have read my posts! Seems almost to insane to believe it, thank you all so much and I have MANY exciting projects and collabs coming in the next few months for you!
Until next time,

Hey,
At the weekend I decided to take a trip down the local beach and take some photos for my photography portfolio. Of course going down the beach, in the winter in England sounded rather cold. It certainly was...
The outfit I was wearing was made up of;
- A navy blue knitted Jack wills jumper, I got this item for my birthday and its honestly one of the warmest pieces of clothing I own (besides coats & jackets). I love how this jumper is designed so I can wear a collared blouse or shirt underneath!
I couldn't find the exact link, although this one is slightly similar!
- Jumper - (http://www.asos.com/Jack-Wills/Jack-Wills-Cable-Jumper/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4296081&cid=12951&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Navy&totalstyles=130&gridsize=3)
- I matched this Jumper with a pair of Jack wills leggings, simple although very warm!
Leggings - http://www.jackwills.com/en-gb/product/redbrook-leggings-10000240201
- The white moon boots are from Forever 21, I absolutely adore these shoes.
- My bow diamonte earings are also from Forever 21.
- Finally I added a grey and white patterned cashmeer scarf to this look to make it more appropriate for winter.
This was my first ever OOTD, I will make sure for my next one I will have all the links for every product/item.
(Thank you to Olivia and Issy for helping me with the photos!)

Hey,
It has been requested that I write about my 'Weekly favourites'... It just so happened that I popped into Superdrug this week and picked up some new products! Some of these you may of seen in other posts but I may of just recently started using it every day, hence why its in my weeky favs!
Right... here we go!
First of all, I finally brought a new mascara (yay!) The Maybelline 'Lash sensational, lash multiplying mascara' was a feature product in my local Superdrug. It looked very pretty (Beautiful packaging wooo) and the applicator looked a nice size so I purchased this mascara. Personally I feel this mascara would work a lot better if you spend more time putting it on (not 10 minutes in the morning because your late for school) I say this because if you don't apply it properly it can look clumpy and not nice... Take your time applying and it will honestly look wonderful!
Next is the Maybelline 'Baby skin, Instant pore eraser primer' - Before I brought this primer I was having a real problem with my makeup, it wasn't staying matte all day and it looked like it was freshly applied with no power by lunch time (not a good look!). My friend recommended this primer (Hey Issy) It's honestly been one of my best ever purchases! Highly recomended!
For my birthday, one of my best friends brought me Zoella's (Zoe sugg) new design of makeup bag! I already have to blue polka dot 'eye design' which I actually use as a pencil case because of the size of it... Thank you Olivia ;) Im pretty sure I will use this one for actually whats its for, which obviously is a makeup bag!
Finally I purchased two of Superdrug's facial masks! The 'Superfruits exfoliating mask' and the 'Tropical cocktail peel-off mask' - I haven't tried these two products out yet but I will post a quick review on Instagram after I have tried them. Just thought I would add it on to the bottom of this post because I am sure that they will be great, there is nothing more relaxing than a facial mask.
Until next time,

Hey,
I have been nominated for a Liebster bloggers award by the wonderful Holly (http://hollykenyon.blogspot.co.uk/) If you read my blog you will know that last week I was nominated by Libby which I am so greatful and apreciative for.
When nominated for a Liebster award the blogger who of which nominated you will post some questions on their blog for you to answer. Here are Holly's questions and my answers...
Hey,
If you dont know who Zoella (Zoe Sugg) is then you need to head over to youtube and type her name in... your welcome ;)
Zoella Beauty launched on the 27th September 2014, since then the products have gone on to sell out across the UK and online! Of course I headed out and brought some of the products... I didn't buy all of the collection although with the Items that I brought I was very impressed, also they are all extemely affordable!
I brought the Zoella Beauty Mistful fragranced (photo below) and this product has a lovely summery fragrance, you can wear it to any occasion because the scent isn't to 'heavy'. Its only £9.50 which is a very good price! Buy the Body Mist!
I also purchased the Zoella Beauty Eyes beauty bag! This is actually supposed to be a makeup bag although I was in need of a new pencil case for school, its held out really well and is still in great condition. Its a great size meaning I can fit all of my stationary in it... you could easily fit your every day makeup inside! Buy the 'Eyes Makeup Bag!'
Finally I brought the Zoella Beauty candle, this candle had a lovely scent and it filled my bedroom! Only issue with this candle is that it comes in a 'tin' and you need to make sure that it is on a nonflamable surface because the tin heats up! (be careful!)
Overall I was very impressed with Zoe's collection and can't wait to purchase more of it! I am especially looking forward to buying her new makeup bag because they are such a great size and last really well! Zoella Beauty New Makeup Bag!
Not forgetting Zoe's book 'Girl Online' which launched on 25th November 2014. As of December 2014 the book was the fastest selling book of 2014 and it
also broke the record for highest first week sales for a debut author
since records began. The sequel is due in summer 2015.
I will review this book when I manage to read it... :)
Until next time,

Hey,
I decided to give 'making brownies' a go... Baring in mind I dont even know how to use an oven this was a massive task for me, despite this the brownies turned out very yummy!
I used 'Ghiradelli chocolate, Brownie mix' this box included 4 singular bagged brownie batches, this made it easier to figure out the measurements of water, oil and eggs for the amount of brownies that I wanted to make.
On the back of the box it included measurements of water, oil and eggs compared to the number of brownies you wanted to watch (if that makes sense).
I really liked this mixture because it had clear instructions of how to make these brownies, even down the size of tin you should use!
Hey,
On the 31st December 2014 myself and my family visited the Intu Trafford Centre in Manchester. I have never been before so I was expecting something simple with a lot of shops which sounded pretty good to me!
I couldn't of been more wrong, the Trafford Centre is anything but simple! Every where you looked were stylish fountains and incredible painted ceilings. Not to mention every thinkable shop, all in one building! I even managed to find a 'Forever 21' which I have never been able to find a store in the UK so I have always brought from them online.
I could of easily spent hours just walking round apreciating the beauty of the building let alone the shopping as well.
Sadly I didn't have my camera with me, meaning I could not take photos of the wonderful building. I will find some photos to attach to the bottom of this post, although please bare in mind they are not mine and all credit goes to the owners.
I have photographed some of my favourite purchases from the day, both from which are from Forever 21.
Really great morning out with the family.
Until next time,
