Primark Candle Review

Hello my lovelies! I have a slightly different review today, a candle one!

So about a month ago i picked up this 'Winter Berry' candle from Primark of all places, for just 80p! Because of how cheap it was, i really wasn't expecting a lot, but its  not bad at all!

The scent of the candle is really fruity and sweet. As you'd expect the scent doesn't fill the whole room dramatically, but you can definitely smell it. It burns down really nicely as well, which not a

lot

I think this would make a really nice stocking stuffer or present for someone who likes candles, but isn't a big fan of expensive ones.

For 80p there isn't much i can grumble about, as its very good for the money!

The cinnamon and apple one s very nice too by the way!

Price: 9/10   Product:  6.9/10  Packaging 8/10

My Temporary Dressing Table

Hello my Lovelies! Today I want to share with you, My 'temporary' dressing table. If you've read my recent Ikea Post, you'll know i've been redoing my bedroom, and therefore everything is a little bit allover the place, hense why my dressing table, is on my desk top at the moment! Anyway, I've been trying to make it as cute as possible, so i thought i'd share the ways in which i'm doing so!

So i've been keeping all my everyday lipstick, and baby lips in this old Chuppa Chups candle jar. i waited until all the wax was gone, took out the wick, and the metal disk, scrubbed it with a scourer, and voila, an new really cute lipstick holder!  

I keep all of my makeup brushes in this Ikea plant pot, that really goes well with the theme of my room, then i have a nice coloured nail polish (that i never use because i hate it's consistancy) and a small simple toner.

I absolutely love this heart decoration that i have hanging from my mirror, it was £1.99 from an individual shop in Skegness and just adds a bit of colour to the area.

I have this little pastel box, that has all my 'Daily essentials' in it... It holds, my toner moisturizer, hand cream, toner, eye cream and oil wipes

I also have this Ikea plant, to bring a little bit of life to my dressing table, and i really love the colour i gives! The candle next to it is also really nice! It was 80p from Primark, and smells deliciously 

berry-y

Hope you enjoyed a small peek at my dressing table!

Ikea Interior Ideas - My Desk

Hello my lovelies! I'm currently redecorating my bedroom! I get really excited over things like this, and i thought i'd share with you a few of the bits of pieces i'm picking up to go around my desk! 

I'm not on a strick budget, but i'm trying to keep my desk area as cheap as possible, without everything looking really cheap. And obviously, the first shop that sprung to my mind, was Ikea, as everything is such good quality, but fairly cheap at the same time! 

Micke Desk - White (£65.00):- I really love this desk. Its extra long, which i really like because it means that you can have your laptop on the desk, as well as your writing space. I love the finish on it too, and the minimalist feel!

Skurar Plant Pot (£1.90):- I already have one of these for my plant pots, which i keep makeup brushes in, and im going to be picking up another to put in my pens and pencils!

Forsa Desk Lamp (£15.00):- I absolutely love this lamp, i adore the chrome finish and the actual design of it. It fits really well with the theme of my room, and is quite affordable too!

Sarskild Notebook (£2.00):- I've seen these all over the internet, and i feel like i need one of them in my life, to keep me on track!

Kassett Boxes (£8.75 for 2):- I really love these, and need them for my wires and electrical items! 

Knodd Bin (£16.00):- I really like the vintage theme of this bin, its slightly retro, and just what i'm looking for, as its cute and stores all that useless paper!

Ensidig Vase (£1.00):- I really love the shape of this vase, and i really think that with a cute pink flower it will add a real pop of colour to my room!

Hope you enjoyed looking at my 'shopping list' for my desk ahaha!

Summer 2014

Hello my lovelies! This summer, i was busy doing lots of exciting (and some mundane) things that i thought you ,might be excited to look at some snaps of! I'll explain every picture as its shown, so you get to know a bit more about what i got up to this summer! 

This was inside Gough's Cave at Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. The water was unbelievably clear, and it was used as a wishing well. Thousands of pennies have been thrown in there over the years, sometimes i wonder what everyone's wishes were?

This is taken from my friend, Natalie's, Snapchat story, when we baked a cake, which looked and tasted delicious!

As you probably know, the Ice Bucket challenge was very popular this summer, trying to raise money for a very good cause. This is me doing my part, looking rather chilled (pun intended) palms covering my face.

A beautiful sunset (with no effects may i add) that i got to watch from my back garden, whilst we were having a BBQ one night.

Brean Beach, in Somerset, where we went on numerous days during my time in Somerset.

Whernside in the Yorkshire Dales, that i managed to climb. It doesn't really look high but its actually 2,415 (according to wikipedia) feet high, and took four hours to climb and two to descend.

Another snap of Brean Beach, on an evening.

An old man crossing the road in front of York Minster

A beautiful park in Minehead, where we sat and fed a Squirrel

Some Inca style dancers 'busking' on one of the streets in York, i adore their costumes!

A little grey rabbit i absolutely fell in love with at one little farm house restaurant we ate at, which had loads of adorable animals, including Meerkats!

Finally, a snap of a stream running through Cheddar (the place, not the cheese) which i  thought looked really pretty.I even got the pleasure of this view, whilst i was at an authentic Milk bar, where i had a delicious Strawberry Milkshake.

I hope you enjoyed my summer 2014 snaps guys!

Summer This or That

1. Beaches or Pools? Definitely pools. Even though your left with the smell of chlorine on your skin, nothings worse than pesky sand, that has been ruining bikini's since time began!

2. Perfume or Body splash? In summer i tend to gravitate towards body splashes, as they seem to smell more summer-esk and tend to be much lighter!

3. Nail Varnish Or Natural? Personally, in summer i think that bright coloured nail varnish looks really stylish! 

4. What lip color will you be rocking most this summer? I have on by Natural collection, in the shade 'Raspberry' which i absolutely love! 

5. Sundresses or Shorts? Sundresses. SUNDRESSES, hands down! They're super duper comfy, and if you get the right fitting ones, can be really flattering!

6. Sunbathing or Self Tanners? Self tanning, sunbathing takes too much time, patience and can even cause skin cancer. I much prefer getting a glow from a bottle!

7. What is your favorite drink in the summer? Peach ice tea mmm.

8. Hot dogs or burgers? Hot dogs with plenty of mustard!

9. What song instantly reminds you of summer? Roar by Katie Perry, a bit of an unusual one!

10. Ice cream, Popsicles, or Frozen Yogurt? Frozen yogurt is definitely the best

11. You just won an all paid vacation to go anywhere and do anything you’d like, what would you choose? I'd go to somewhere really ho with lots of waterfalls that i could jump into, i just think it would be a really great experience!

12. What is the weather like during the summer where you live? Well i live in England, so lot's of rain and not much sun, we don't really get a summer!

13. Do you have a certain beauty product that during the summer you will not leave your house with out? Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation!

14. Sunglasses or Hats? Sunglasses, although i should really wear hats, because my scalp burns so easily!

Organising Your Life

As the new academic year approaches us, i thought I'd show you how i organize my life! I know this is slightly different to what i normally post, but i figured it could help a few of you!

1. Get a diary!

A diary is essential if you want to keep all your tasks on track, colour coordination really helps too! Write social events in one colour, and work things in another!

2. To Do List EVERYTHING

My advice for this, is to purchase a small A6 notebook in a pretty pattern. Each morning list the things you have to do that day, and as you complete each task tick/scribble it of  your list!

3. Keep any important documents in a folder!

Receipts, bills, forms or even letters! Keep any important documents in plastic wallets inside a dedicated folder. This was your less likely o loose anything you may need, and reduces the chance of disaster!

4. PLAN!!!

Always plan! Planning is key if you want to succeed, especially in exams! Make brief outlines of what you plan to revise that day, or the things you plan to do next month. This will avoid double scheduling and will allow you to fit everything into a busy timetable!

The Summer Beauty Tag

What is the best part of summer time?

I love BBQ's where you say out late, until dark, with candles food and great company. I don't think i'd change anything about those nights, well apart from the pesky bugs, but that's nothing a mosquito spray can't resolve!

Do you tan or burn?

I tan... I'm quite lucky like that to be honest. 

Favorite summer nail polish?

This year for me its been Barry M's Satsuma... I LOVE that stuff!

Favorite summer drink/beverage?

Frappachino's, fruity smoothies and water believe it or not!

Favorite summer clothing item?

DRESSES! I cannot live without dresses! In summer i tend to prefer bright coloured ones, but dresses in general are great in my opinion! They hide a multitude of sins!

Favorite phone app during this summer?

 Instagram definitely, i find it great to see what the people i don't get to see that often are doing throughout summer!

Favorite summer movie?

I LOVE A Walk To Remember, i'm not sure it's a summer film, but its great non the less. The switch up is fab too! Oh, and  LOL.

Favorite summer beauty product?

Salt spray, peach lipsticks, bronzers and moisturiser!

Favorite summer activity?

Holidays with family and friends, abroad or at home. Great times to make memories!

Favorite type of lip product for the summer time?

Minty Baby Lips, mmm i love that stuff! :)

A York Day Out...

Hello my lovelies! Today i took a trip to the historic town, York. It's around a hours drive from my house, as i live near Doncaster. York is a city filled with historic buildings, museum and so much character, mainly because it used to be the capitol of the country. There's so much to explore and do, and plenty of shopping to be done... I purchased a few things from Newlook... Oops! I'm hoping to attend York University and study History, which is a real passion of mine, mainly because of the whole culture of the place! Its Beautiful...

I took over 100 snaps which is quite a few! And I thought i'd share some of them with you, because they are so darn beautiful!

Firstly We headed to The National Railway Museum. Me and my dad love this museum, and you donate to get in which is great because the moneys actually going towards something!

(I will show you these at a later date, because they aren't uploading?)

 

Hope you enjoyed today's photograph heavy post me'lovelies!
