Weekly update

I know this is a little off subject, but i thought i'd share what's been going on with you all recently. Maybe you like this, maybe you dont? let me know.


+ My boyfriend's uncle + aunty had their 2nd baby yesterday. Another boy to welcome to that side of the family. They called him Daniel. We've only seen photos of him so far but were hoping to go up and see them this weekend. They didn't know what they were expecting so have mainly cream clothes, so we bought some blue bodysuits from Matalan for them. The kids clothes are so cute its unreal. 


+ My uni project came to a complete standstill today! If you're doing or know anything about creative courses (or the creative industry) you'll have heard of D&AD. I'm trying to do the Umbro brief, but its becoming a bit of a pain seeing as they want you to try and advertise trainers that havn't even been released yet. I was hoping to photograph some of the trainers i could get my hands on, but the shop i almost bought them from said i wasn't able to return them, so now i have to go in and photograph them there. The BIGGEST pain in the arse!


+ I've had the worst cold ever these past few days. Slowly i'm recovering but i suffer from asthma, so it takes a while longer than most "healthy" people. (ha!) I really should get this flu jab sorted!


+ Me and my boyfriend went out for dinner tonight, it was lovely, we were hoping to go and see that new film Due Date after, but missed the 9pm showing and would have been too rushed to catch the 9.30, so we're hoping to see it tomorrow night. Its made by the same people as The Hangover (one of my all time favourite films!) So it should be good. Also Jackass 3D looks funny as. Saw the full-length 3D trailer when we went to see Saw 3D. (too many 3d films for an already glasses-wearing girl!) and it looked hilarious! Have any of you seen it? i've only heard good things.


+ Im hoping to pop over to Birmingham tomorrow, i'm SUPER excited that Forever21 has made its way here, so i need to snatch up as many clothes as i can while im not too far from Brum. Also, i want to lay my hands on some of the Urban Outfitters polishes. They look amazing. I think my first buy will be tangerine.


+ I'm considering getting a new SLR. The one i already have isn't too great and is really just an SLR casing with a normal digi-cam inners. Im looking up some good'uns, im thinking a cannon. Do any of you have any decent ones? I need recommendations! :) 


Hope you're all doing well. I see i have some new followers and thats great. I hope you're enjoying the blog. Keep spreading the word. <3 x

Product Review - Beautiful Ends

I love my hair products, they're always the thing i look at first when i go into shops like Superdrug or Boots. So i thought after buying this many many months ago, i should do a review for you all as i've tried and tested it.

Now the first thing i need to express is that this is solely my opinion, the product may work better or worse in your hair than it did in mine, but i feel as a blogger i should express the things i like and dislike about the products i spend my money on. (thats the reason i set up this blog)

Firstly, the thing that enticed me to this product was the fact its been made for split ends.

Clairol says:

"I daily defy and defeat split ends and breakage. My luscious formula with red raspberry and silk extracts leaves your hair protected and luscious."

My hair isn't in its strongest form at the moment, nor has it been for a while, but i can't get the hand of how to make this stuff work well in my hair.

The smell is absolutely gorgeous, and a definite selling point. Along with that, Herbal essence shampoo and conditioners tend to work well in my hair and i love the way they make it smell and feel.

The directions for use say to use around 2 pumps for mid-long length hair and rub through your ends and just leave in. 

After doing this, and blow-drying my hair, i can tell there's products in my hair (that feeling i never get when using products like heat defense) and it makes it fel dirty again. Also, when i straighten or curl it, again i can still feel the product and just constantly feel like i need to wash it out again.

On top of this, i can't tell that its made any difference to my ends. (only making them feel grubby!)

The only good point i can make about this stuff is that it smells like a dream and that does stay with you for quite a while.

Overall, i can say that im not particularly impressed with the product, which i feel is a shame, because the rest of the Herbal Essence range is a super hit in my book!

What do you all think? Do you like using Herbal Essence products? Would you recommend them?

New layout

Once again i've tried fiddling around with the look of the blog. Im trying super hard to make it look and fit right, but its still not quite there. Given time, i expect it'll be fine. All opinions on the look of it would be greatly appreciated though :) Have a great evening everyone. x

A glittery combination

So right now its the thing i'm loving. Having pretty colours on my nails and being able to spend however long making them that way. Its a kind of relaxation thing for me i guess. (and a way of avoiding my dreaded uni work!)

Anyway, seen as i havn't done a "proper" post in a while, here's one for you to enjoy.

Barry M Mushroom with GOSH Rainbow on top.

2 coats of barry m, 1 coat of gosh

Also i just wanted to say sorry for the little posts i have been doing recently, i'm still trying to get this blog off the ground, but with a very limited amount of followers im feeling a bit unmotivated. Especially seen as i have loads to do at university too (3 projects and a dissertation) anyway, if you enjoy the blog, please follow it as it gives me more encouragement and i really do enjoy doing this. And maybe spread the word? 

What colours are you loving making glittery?
