Wardrobe Tour

This is my wardrobe. It was bought for me many, many years ago from IKEA. These are just a few photos from my wardrobe. I keep everything in here except from my shoes, that are kept in the box at the end of my bed. And I thought you'd like to see how I organise my wardobe, as I thought it might give you some inspiration of how to sort yours.

The draws at the bottom contain my underwear, pyjamas and vests... not particularly interesting...

Top Ten Tuesdays: Favourite Foods

1. Ice Cream - need I say more...?! 

2. Macaroni Cheese - this is just comfort food at its best. I love pasta and I love cheese..sooo

3. Pizza - thick crust, triple cheese, nom!

4. Roast Chicken - roast dinners at my house are a weekly thing on a Sunday evening, and although I love roast dinners as a whole, roast chicken it my favourite, because not only do I love chicken, I also love chicken gravy!

5. Chocolate - I don't think diamonds are a girls best friend, I think it's chocolate, I mean it cheers me up when I'm down.

7. Cucumber - starting to get healthier now. I've grown up next to a nursery that grows cucumbers, and when we used to go round there as kids they would give us the ones that didn't fix in the boxes and I would sit there and just eat the whole thing.

8. Red Grapes - I can't buy a punnet and not eat the whole thing. Seriously, I think it's a problem, a real problem...

9. Toast - with butter and marmalade, my boyfriend eats like 7 slices of toast each morning, so I think he's more obsessed than I am, but still.

10. Tomato and Cheese Pasta Bake - I ate this all the time in my first year of university, buying the ASDA own brand jar and literally adding it to cooked pasta. Nom. It was filling, and tasty, and hot and... god I miss it now I'm home.

Bedside Beauty

These are the products I use basically every night, just before I go to bed. I take off my pandora bracelet and my necklace my boyfriend bought me 4 years ago (which I wear more of less every day). My Kissy Missy Lipbalm by Zoella lives on my bedside table just because it now comes everywhere with me, and I always put it on my bedside table, just so I know where it is (rather than it getting lost in a bag somewhere in the bottom of my wardrobe). 

The rest of the products are all different moisturisers of sort. Most of them are fairly heavy, and leave my skin looking a little greasy until they are absorbed into my skin overnight so that I wake up looking super soft and smooth.

Cath Kidston Lip Balm - this is a super thick lip balm that leaves my lips feeling really sticky, but I wake up in the morning and they are really soft, so I don't mind, but makes it a perfect 'leave-in lip balm'.

Nivea Hand Cream - this isn't a heavy moisturiser, it's just my current hand cream, and working in a restaurant situation dries out my hands, so I have to apply this as much as possible.

Liz Earle Superbalm - I often have dry and cracked skin around my eye, and so I apply some of this over the skin at night and it helps repair the skin while I'm sleeping. It takes a while to sink in, and when you first apply it, it looks quite greasy, so I like the apply it just before I go to sleep. This was really expensive when I bought it, but it lasts for ages.

Caudalie Huile Divine - I'm growing my nails long after biting them (I know eww) for the first 19 years of my life, and so they are super brittle. I got this sent in a lib box, and you are meant to be able to use it on your nails to repair them. So, I'm giving it a go... I'll let you know what I find out.

Review: Zoella Beauty Range: Tutti Fruitti

There are a lot of negative connotations surrounding bbloggers releasing merchandise, but I've always been incredible supportive. I currently own many of the bbloggers books, but I am yet to try any of their beauty or make-up items. 

I have always been a huge fan of Zoella, and have watched her videos for a long time, and when I saw on her second channel that she was releasing a new beauty range, this time influenced by Tutti Frutti, I just wanted it, I love anything fruity scented.

There are seven products in this range (the only product I'm missing is the Cosmetic/Coin Purse). The products I picked up were the Fresh Fizz Fragranced Bath Fizzer, Kissy Missy Lip Balm, Let’s Spritz Fragranced Body Mist, Candy Cream Softening Body Lotion, Foam Sweet Foam Cleansing Shower Gel and Scrubbing Me Softly Smoothing Body Scrub. The products range from £3 to £8, which is incredible affordable!

Fresh Fizz Fragranced Bath Fizzer

I've never been one for bath bombs, I prefer bubble baths, as I feel they always leave your skin feeling better. So I went into this with a skewed opinion anyway. But this smells nice, it fizzes away for about 5 mins, which gives you something to watch. And the packing is adorable, and I love the fact it looks like a chocolate bar. 

Kissy Missy Lip Balm

Ok, I just have to say, for £3, this is amazing. I think I'm going to leave it in my bag... always. It's super hydrating, with a pop of colour which you can build up or leave as a light stain. And although the colour doesn't last for ages, it just fades instead of going patchy or sticking to dry skin on your lips, and, as it's a lip balm, I love reapplying it anyway, plus it's super easy. This is amazing, like super amazing, such a great handbag product.

Let’s Spritz Fragranced Body Mist

I love this packaging, the lacing in the background is so feminine and just beautiful. The spray is even and nice. I don't think the scent is as nice as the body lotion or shower gel, but it's still nice, and it's strangely refreshing on your skin. So, I'll definitely still be using this.

Candy Cream Softening Body Lotion

This is another product that I think I will buy again, and again, and again, and... yeah you get the idea. It smells divine, it rubs into the skin really nicely, I love the little pink beads that burst as you rub it in as it's a nice touch. Plus, I used this before I went to bed, and woke up in the morning and my skin felt so soft. I love this, I think it's my new favourite body lotion and will definitely be in my August favourites.

Foam Sweet Foam Cleansing Shower Gel 

I used this in the shower before bed, but I think it's more of a morning scent, it's so refreshing and strangely uplifting I think this shower gel would be perfect in the morning. Other than that, it's just a nice shower gel, and the packing it also beautiful, which is definitely one of my favourite things about this range, everything looks so cute and adorable.

Scrubbing Me Softly Smoothing Body Scrub

This is another one of those products I think is going to be in my shower for a long time yet. This shower scrub is the right balance between gentle and harsh (although I don't think harsh the right word, but you know what I mean) enough, you feel like it's really giving your skin a good clean and exfoliated, while still being gentle and soft. It's also gently moisturising, and although I would still need to use a moisturiser as well as this because I have dry skin, I think this is a great bonus, as I find some body scrubs have dried out my skin in the past.

Overall, this range is amazing, apart from the bath fizzers (which is just because I'm not a fan of bath fizzers as a whole), I'm pretty sure I'll be buying these again, and the body lotion and lip balm are incredible. I think Zoe Sugg has done incredibly well with these products. They are affordable, fun, beautiful products that work and smell delicious, and if I was her, I would be super proud. I love them!

River Island August Fashion Edit

In England it's been getting colder, and it's already August, and so I feel like it's that change over time between Summer and Autumn and it's nearly time to stock up on some warmer, cosier clothing.

So, here are a few of my favs from their 'Just Arrived' section of their website, and I thought I'd share with you some of the stuff I'm considering getting to give you some inspiration for the upcoming colder months and also the end of summer (NOOO!!)

Black Cleated Sole Sling Back Sandals £35 - This are BEAUTIFUL, and confession time, I went into River Island yesterday and picked these up....

Black Bow Front Ballet Shoes £30 - These look so pretty and dainty, cute!

Dark Brown Floppy Hat £25 - I've only started wearing hats, but they're all summery and sorta practical (keep sun off face), and this one is more suitable for winter

Cream Check Long Sleeve Shirt £26 - I've been looking for a checkered shirt for ages, and can never find one I love! So, this looks perfect!

Black Love Intarsia Jumper £30 - I love jumpers and this is super cute, so easy to wear, and really cosy

Mid Wash Ripped Daisy Slim Jeans £42 - I really want some stressed jeans, and I love these, they're just quite expensive, and so I can't decide to know what to do.

Gold Tone Triangle Layer Necklace £16 - Love Love Love. Nice balance between being a statement necklace and dainty at the same time!

Hope that gave you some idea of what I was loving while I was browsing, as I do, through the website.

Top Ten Tuesdays: Favourite Places

1. Blunham - my home village, this place is amazing, it's just so homely and I couldn't be happier than at home

2. Southwold - so many childhood memories of this place. It's a little coastal town in Suffolk, and it's basically my home away from home.

3. Pembrokshire - this place is BEAUTIFUL, rolling countryside, sandy bays, the pembrokshire coastal path, lots of crafty shops, what more could a girl want?

4. Bed - ha! need I say more

5. Italy - in some ways this is cheating, because I've never actually been, but this is THE place I want to go to. I have 10 photos of Italy going round on a loop on my laptop and I have countless articles and things saved about Italy. Im obsessed.

6. Cambridge - I don't live far from Cambridge, and it's my local city, and so I'm forever there shopping or going to the theatre. Love, love, love Cambridge, it's so beautiful.

7. London - I couldn't live here, because I couldn't deal with.. well everything all the time. But, nothing beats the capitol, everything's there, and the shopping is amazing.

8. Cromer - another on of those coastal towns (this time in Norfolk) we used to go all the time as kids. Plus, my uncle owns a flat here, so I get to go for nearly nothing.

9. Northumbria - this is a county and so I don't know if it's cheating. But this county is full of castles, which I love to wander round, and I love to go here for a winter break. We used to go to Seahouses to the same apartment.

10. Paris - the first destination I've actually been to outside the UK (I'm not well traveled..). But Paris is in some ways similar to London, but is somehow just more romantic. If you haven't been to Paris, go! 

My Blogging Timetable

Quick update, here's my timetable for my blog from now on.

That's all,
