Week in pictures

Hey guys :)


Sorry I haven't blogged in a week or so, my laptop broke! :(. I am currently using my mum's when I can whilst I save up for a replacement.


Me and the boyfriend took a week off work to enjoy some activities in England seen as neither of us are going on holiday this year *sigh*.
I thought I'd do a 'pictures of the week' post just to catch you guys up on what I've been doing! I know not everyone enjoys these posts, but I find pictures more interesting than words (probably because i'm a nosey person) and I'd rather see lots of pictures on my blog and I hope it's not too dull for you all!

1. Now that he can't help himself to food, Button's has allocated the Pantry

as his new napping spot! 2. The Chicken's went crazy over this bit of corn.

3. My little brother has a new crazy bubble toy. Look how big it is! 4. My

new Rabbits. Meet Dave and Jim! How cute are they, I love them :)

1. Jake (the boyfriend) having a nap on our picnic, all the sun and food

was too much for him, bless. 2. Chocolate strawberries need I say anymore?

3. Button's tried to escape me :( but then couldn't find a way down so came 

back ha! 4. Mini golf! I WON! (I'm very proud of myself).

It was nice to see a bit of sun, such perfect timing too! We also took my little brother swimming yesterday, and we plan to go to the zoo too, yay!

What have you guys been up to?

Sale Haul!

Hiya guys!
So, last week I was harmlessly browsing on the Internet, determined not to purchase anything, and I was doing well.
HOWEVER, I then decided to look on the sale pages! (this was a bad idea from the start.) I'm a sucker for anything with reduced prices because my brain automatically tells me it's such a bargain and I'd be saving so much money (even if it's only reduced by £2.)


So, seen as my browsing failed miserably and I ended up spending £82, I thought I'd put what I bought up here to make myself feel a little less guilty. I mean, it can only be a good thing if I get to blog about it, right? Back me up here guys!


I managed to keep my shopping to only two sites, Boohoo and Newlook. I did have a browse on Motel Rocks, but everything I liked went before I had a chance to decide whether or not to buy it all :(. Moral of that story is; Don't think, just buy!

Boohoo Tie Dye Flippy Skater Dress - £12

Boohoo Floral 2-in-1 Bodycon - £10

Boohoo Green Tie Dye Vest - £7

Boohoo Black Knitted Cardigan - £15

Newlook Lilac Lace Trim Bra - £6
(They now only have Yellow and a Reddy-Pink at £5)

Newlook 18 and East Maxi Dress - £32

Have you guys bought anything good in the sales recently? Let me know, I love a good bargain!

I'll leave you with a picture of the Banana Loaf I made whilst writing this blog. Baking will probably be the reason I don't fit into any of this in a few months :(

Barry M

Hi guys!
Yesterday my mum came home with the Barry M chameleon colour changer in pink, and of course I had to try it immediately. I spent ages deciding on what to do, as it says on the back 'use a clear topcoat to create your design.' However, it doesn't say what colour it'll change to and so I didn't want to go crazy on a pattern in case I didn't like the colour it changed to (I know, I probably should have tested the colour first to avoid this but I didn't really think about it.) 

I love the colour, and I love that I love the bottles still. However, looking at this picture has just made me realise that the lid is showing the colour it'll change to. Why am I so silly! Goes to show that creative packaging is wasted on me.

I decided that I would resort to my trusty glitter to cover up any messy straight lines, as I am very aware that I'm not very steady when it comes to using my left hand to paint my right hand! I feel as though I should invest in a glitter liner nail pen or something, but I have no idea which ones are any good.

This is the end product, what do you think? I think the purple and pink go well together and I like that it only took a tiny bit of clear nail polish to change the colour, instead of layering multiple colours over each other, as I find this makes the coat very thick and I always end up sitting their picking it off when I'm bored. Am I the only one who does that?


The chameleon nail varnish is also available in lilac and blue (which I will be trying out as soon as I can get my hands on them) and they are £3.99 each. Available on Asos as well as Superdrug (who currently have a 'buy 2 save £1' offer)


Let me know what you think.

First trip to Scotland

Hey!
So, in my previous post I said I would write a little more about my trip to St Andrews to visit my sister who is over at laurenella.
She started university 4 years ago, and I was never that interested in visiting, mainly because because I'm not a fan of getting trains on my own. However, she graduated in June and I realised that if I didn't go I'd probably never visit Scotland and my family kept telling me I'd enjoy it and it's a nice town etc etc, so I gave in and went up for a few days last week.


I have to admit, the train journey wasn't as boring and awful as I was expecting, but it was still quite a long journey (about 7 hours in total!) I was only up their for 2 full days so my sister had to pick what she wanted to show me/what would 'wow' me. She decided on afternoon tea at the Old Course Hotel (by the seems of it, afternoon tea was the only thing we could afford.) The hotel was very fancy and the tea was held in the conservatory, which was a lovely room, and fortunately the rain held off long enough for us to enjoy the view.

The front view of the hotel, given some of the cars that were outside, I could already tell it would be a nice place.

I wonder how much these flowers cost? I won't complain though, they smelt beautiful and were very pretty, definitely out do any other bouquet I've seen before!

This chandelier was the first thing I noticed as I walked into the room, it was HUGE!

We decided to share 3 High Tea's between the 5 of us which turned out to be a very good idea. On the lower tier were four different types of sandwich; Ham and tomato chutney, smoked salmon, cucumber and cream cheese and egg mayonnaise with a few cheese and herb twists balanced on top. The middle tier had lemon pancakes, and a mix of plain and fruit scones which came with clotted cream and a champagne preserve.

 And finally, the top tier (by far the best tier) had a variety of delicious treats; Victoria sponge, white chocolate and passion fruit mousse cake, strawberry tarts, chocolate and coffee cake and lemon drizzle cake. 


Each Afternoon Tea is £19 in which you get the mix of yummy foods and unlimited tea/coffee (bare in mind that the picture is 3 afternoon teas on one tier set) which to me isn't too expensive for the food and the lovely setting you get. I really enjoyed it but I cant see it being something I'd do regularly.


(The pictures were taken by my sister, as I got a bit distracted by the food and her camera is better than mine.)

Has anyone else had Afternoon Tea that they really enjoyed?

Catch up

Hey guys!
Sorry I haven't blogged again since my first post, it's been a little busy recently. When I wrote my first post I had just finished my A-level exams and I am now happily released from education! A couple of weeks ago we had our prom and last week we had our leavers breakfast where all the teachers (those who wanted to) got to say good-bye and congratulations etc. Now its just the everlasting wait till August 16th, the day that pretty much predicts what will happen to us all for the next few years. University, re-sits, or hopefully, complete freedom from education for good (or so I hope). I didn't have time to get emotional about leaving school and my routine for the last 7 years, because I had to rush from school to the train station so that I could finally visit my sister in St Andrews. (read more about my trip in the next post)


So now that I have caught you up with what I have been doing for the last few weeks, I thought I would leave you with a few pictures, as I always find the pictures more interesting than reading a whole load of writing!

1. Finally essie have their own stand! 2. The cupcakes I 

made for my cousins 18th party. 3. My textiles exhibition

up and ready for moderation. 4. Me and the boyfriend
