Haul

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you some items i've bought over the last couple of weeks.

One of the things I bought a couple of weekends ago was a bath bomb from Lush. If you don't know me by now I love lush products and I always have to buy something from there when i'm out shopping. So I bought a bath bomb called "Pumpkin". This bath bomb smells very citrusy and it is indeed in a shape of a pumpkin which I absolutely love and it was also relatively cheap as i think it was around £3.50. It made my bath a lovely light orange colour and it also gave off some glitter when it dissolved in the bath. Lush have so many amazing themed bath and shower products.


I also bought another 2 bath bombs from Lush. "Candy Mountain", a gorgeous pink and white bubble bar that crumples under hot water which creates amazing bubbles and smells so sweet. It was also around £3 which is incredible for a bubble bar which you can reuse 2 or 3 times. Also, "Butter bear", a simple yet lovely bath bomb that moisturises the skin as it has coco butter and other wonderful products inside and only costs around £1.50 which is a good price for making your skin smell and feel nice!




Another thing I bought was a jewellery holder from Primark which is currently holding my rings,watch,pandora bracelet and bobbles and clips. It is a dish with an elephants face coming out from the middle and I absolutely love it! I believe this product was around £4 or £5 which I think is incredible for a jewellery holder.

I bought a liquid lipstick from NYX's Lingerie range and it is in the colour "corset", it is in a gorgeous lightish brown shade and I love how it mattifies on the lips and lasts the full day. Furthermore, it is a perfect autumn/winter shade and only cost £6.50 which is affordable for a matte lip in my opinion.

Finally, I bought a canvas from Primark made by a youtuber called Gabriella. It is a white canvas with lilac,black and gold dots scattered around with "Need more sleep" written across the middle with a picture of a cute black cat beside it. I bought this canvas for one of my friends for Christmas so it would make a really good gift for someone or yourself! This canavs was only £4 which is really afforable.

You've got to listen to this!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you some of my go-to songs this month!


1) Shout Out To My Ex - Little Mix
  This song only came this month from what i've heard, to be honest when I first heard it I wasn't been but after listening to it 3 or 4 times it has really grown on me and I love it! It is basically about the girls showing their exes that they don't need them anymore and how they've changed since the break up. I love the tune and lyrics and all the girls' individual voices.

2) Starboy- The Weeknd ft Daft Punk
  Basically, I LOVE this song! I love all of The Weeknds songs as they all have a good rhythm and beat and they make me want to dance whenever I hear them.

3) Side To Side- Ariana Grande ft Niki Minaj
  I love Arianas voice in this song as she hits them high notes well dammn! I also love Nikis rap. I just think their voices harmonise really well surprisingly!

4) 24k Magic -Bruno Mars
  Well we haven't heard from Bruno in a while and when I first heard the song I was so excited! I also love Bruno's voice and his previous songs on his albums. I feel like this song is similar to the style of another of his songs called "Treasure" because of the beat and just the overall feeling of the song (if any of that made sense)

5) Sexual- Neiked ft Dyo
  Finally, i've been loving this song by Neiked who i've never heard a song from them before. I think Dyo's voice is amazing especially when she hits those high notes wow! The beat is amazing and is overall just one of my favourite songs at the moment.

Obviously, I have loved loads of songs this past month or 2 but these where the highlights^^

Why I love Autumn

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to share with you why I absolutely LOVE Autumn!

Firstly, I love all the colours like the red and yellow leaves and the autumn colours for fashion like maroon,mustard, khaki etc.

Fashion! I love Autumn fashion, like I said before I love the colours and I love how the button up skirts come in and the pinafores and the turtle necks and this list could go on forever but you get the point.

I love the temperature change. I love the weather when it is just the beginning of September and you still have those warm days like in the Summer but on a morning and night it gets cold. But mostly, I like the very chilly days further in October where you have to bring a scarf or coat to school! The weather makes me feel like it is getting close to Christmas (which it is) but if makes me feel festive and warm inside.


Because of the temperature change I love how on a night time or on a weekend (if i'm not doing anything) I will wear comfy and warm lounge clothes or thick pjs (we all know how much I love comfy/thick pjs) and getting snuggled up on the sofa with a blanket and a cup of tea or even better a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows!

Catpawcino (cat cafe)

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you my past experiences in one of my favourite places to visit! "Catpawcino" a cat cafe in Newcastle.

I have visited "Catpawcino" around 3 or 4 times and to be honest every time I go, I love it even more! Basically it is a cafe filled witch cats which I absolutely love as I do have 3 cats. All of their cats are special breads, my favourite bread of cats that live there are the Point Birman which are extremely fluffy and adorable! But obviously, I love them all especially the little kittens!



The staff at "Catpawcino" are wonderful,kind and very helpful if you have any issues and the cafe serve brilliant foods and drinks.

The cafe is normally very busy so you do have to book a place sometimes but you can stay for as long as you want (if it was my decision i'd stay there all day hehe.)

The cats are very playful and adventurous just like Gatsby in the image below.


One of my favourite cats Davin is always at the window sleeping or sleeping with his gorgeous brother Chocolate. These two are probably my favourite members of the cafe as they are so beautiful and just so friendly ( the other cats are just as friendly!)








Here are a few more images of when i've visited the cafe! 












I hope you've enjoyed this blog post and I hope there is a cat cafe near you aha!

My pamper routine

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Since I uploaded my Autumn night routine previously, I thought today  i'd share with you my pamper routine.

Firstly, to pamper myself I would ALWAYS have a hot bath with some sort of bath product added such as a Lush bath product or a Treacle moon shower gel to add to the bath as it is autumn. They do amazing cinammony scents for this time of the year, as do Lush. To treat my skin I would use a Soap&Glory scrub, my favourite is "Sugar Crush" or I would just use any scrub from The Body Shop as they are also fabulous! Next, to sooth the skin, i'd use a shower gel such as from Treacle Moon or just a more simple gel like Nivea for example. Then i'd just lie in the bath for a couple of minutes to make me calm and relaxed.

When I get out of the bath i'd put on some comfy and warm pj's and light some autumnal candles and turn on my fairy lights. I'd watch some youtube or what i've been doing more recently, watching a Christmas movie or listening to Christmas music while talking to some of my friends on social media or just scrolling on twitter,facebook etc. Whilst doing this I would be eating my tea or throughout the day have a snack and if i'm lucky, eat some chocolate or sweets.

By this time on a night i'd blow out my candles and jump into bed and scroll again through social media if I haven't already and drink a cup of tea with some biscuits or a snack and then wind down for bed.

I hope you've enjoyed this blog and i'll be writing again very soon!

Autumn night routine 2016

Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you my autumn night routine.

On a week night I will either get a lift or a scholars bus home. As soon as I get home I will check all social media such as twitter, snapchat etc and then I will do some homework which is due for later times in the week but most likely for the next day (oops) and while i'm doing that I would eat a little snack and have a fresh drink or a hot cup of tea. Because it's near to my mock exams in November, I am revising as much as I can in every break I have before school and after school so I'd normally do that for half an hour/an hourish. After I do this, it is the time of the evening where I will begin to wind down and have a hot bath or shower. I almost always add a Lush product to my bath as it makes me feel very calm and relaxed. In a recent bath I had, I used "The comforter" bubble bar which creates beautiful big bubbles and adds a lovely light pink colour to the water and also smells amazing!
As soon as I get out of the bath I will put on some lovely fluffy pyjamas as it is getting VERY cold on a night time.In the image below is one of my favourite pairs of pj bottoms to wear as they are so fluffy and festive (even though it's October hehe)

 Then, I would go downstairs and chill with my family for a couple of hours watching tv and then at around 8pm I would go back upstairs and catch up on some youtube videos or a netflix series for example and talk to my friends over social media.

 At around 10pm I would begin to turn off all my electrical items such as my laptop and go to sleep.

Autumn make up look

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you my go-to autumn make up look.

Firstly, I apply my MAC "studio waterweight foundation" or my cheaper option of 17 "miracle matte " foundation. In my opinion, the MAC foundation isn't the coverage I was hoping for as it is quite light, whereas I would rather have a full coverage foundation which the 17 foundation does give. Although, if you are looking for a more light coverage foundation which is from the higher end, I would definitely recommend this MAC one.I believe the MAC foundation is around £25 and the 17 foundation was around £5.

Next I would use the Collection concealer which is around £4 and this is my holy grail concealer! It covers spots and imperfections perfectly and lasts all day!

I would then apply my bronzer/contour and I use the 17 bronzing powder which is surprisingly amazing! This just shows how you don't need high end products to create a perfect make up look! This product I believe was around £5.

Next, I apply my highlighter from Benefit called "High Beam" which is amazing! It creates a beautiful shine to my cheek bones and again lasts all day. This product is £7 as a mini and £20 for it in full sized, but in my opinion I would just purchase the mini highlighter as it has lasted me for months!

I would then apply my Benefit "Gimme brow" which works perfectly as my brows are fairly full and shaped therefore, I use this product just to fill in my brows a little bit extra. I'm not too sure how much this product was but i'm sure it's not too expensive.

I use my "Naked 2" palette  from Urban Decay and I would usually where "Busted" all over my lid, "YDK/Suspect" in my crease and "Verve" in the corner of my eye. I have had this palette since Christmas and used loads and loads and it still has plenty of product left so I would definitely recommend it! Also this product was around £40 which I find amazing for the amount of product there is.

Penultimately, I use either "Roller Lash" from Benefit or "MAC zoom fast black lash" mascara for my lashes. Both of these products are amazing but I find the Benefit mascara is way easier to take off. I believe the Benefit mascara was £20 and the MAC one was £15.

Finally, I apply my NYX "Lingerie" matte liquid lipstick in the shade "Corset" which is an amazing autumn brown colour. I adore this product as in my opinion it adds that extra autumn feel to the make up look. This product was around £7 and I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling to find an autumn lip.

In this image is all the products I use above^

And this is the finished look! Obviously the image doesn't show exactly what the make up looks like on but in my opinion it looks great in reality.

September Favourites

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to be sharing with you my monthly favourites for September.

Firstly, I've been using this Nivea facial wash for the last two months and I really feel that it does clean the skin very well and it makes me feel very refreshed on a morning. I'm not quite sure how much this product was but i'm sure it wads under £5.

I've also been using my Real Techniques Beauty Blender for the last month or so and I find it just really blends my foundation properly and is extremely easy to use. You can get this product in packs of one (which are around £6) or two (around £10) and they last a long time too.


I know it's only October but i've been burning my Yankee candle Christmas scents,however, I really should be purchasing some of their autumnal scents as it is autumn. I am using "Red apple wreath" and "Snowflake cookie". "Red apple wreath" smells of the traditional Christmas scents like cinnamon, ginger etc, where as "Snowflake cookie" is more of a sickly sweet scent which I love! If any of you have any of the Yankee autumn scents please recommend them to me down below as I definitely need to be buying them this month haha.



An item of clothing i've been loving is this black button up skirt which makes me feel so vintage and like i'm out of a tv show hehe. It is also high waisted which I love so I can tuck in tops and jumpers etc. I guarantee this will be one of my autumn essential pieces of clothing. This skirt is from Primark and I think it was round £8.


Finally, i've been addicted to wearing these black painted leather shoes as they also make me feel vintage (like the skirt) and they are surprisingly very comfy. They are from New Look and I bought them around about a year ago so i'm not too sure if they still do them.

I hope you've enjoyed this blog and i'll write again soon! Enjoy the rest of your week x

Birthday Gift Ideas (for girls)

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to share with you some gift ideas for family and friends.

Firstly, for either friends or family members, the most safest option for what to get them is some Lush products. Lush do some amazing bath bombs,bubble bars,soaps etc for everyone! Even if you have sensitive skin Lush have you covered. I definitely recommend every single one of their bath bombs as they fizz really well and have fantastic smells. Some of my personal favourites are: "Think Pink" "Twilight" and "Titsy Totsy." Bath bombs for sensitive skin include "Butterball" and "Icky Baby Bot." Furthermore, some of my favourite bubble bars are,"Milky Bath ", The Comforter and Creamy Candy." All of their products have reasonable prices and the bubble bars can last for around a week or so if you crumple them under the tap little by little every day. Lush also do shower gels,face masks, hair products etc.




You could also buy a family member/friend fragrances like Victoria Secret and just any smell you think they'd like. I'd like to recommend fragrances from Hollister as they all smell very exotic and refrehsing and also smells from The Body Shop. 


All of my friends are teenagers, so  I would recommend make up brushes, make up products etc. The make up brushes i'd recommend are Real Techniques as their bristles on the brushes have fabulous quality and they are easily washed but I bet any make up brushes will do as long as they work well and do their job! Some make up products i'd like to share with you would be Urban Decay Naked eye shadow palettes as the shades are  very pigmented and last all day. I have lots of products from Benefit like their highlighter which is very shiny and adds a lovely shine to the cheek bones, their eye brow products are also very good as they fill in my brows very well and as the highlighter and eye shadow palettes, last all day.

I hope you have enjoyed this blog and I will be writing again very soon! As always my links are down below if you ever want to contact me x
