Early mornings

This is far too early to be getting up during the christmas holidays. When this photo was taken i had already had a shower, got dressed and done my make-up. If you are wondering why i'm up this early, we are meeting some friends for breakfast at their hotel and evidently they are early risers.
By the way, this is my first post via my phone, sorry if there are any spelling mistakes!

Wooo 100 views!!

I know it may not seem many, especially considering the number of views bigger blogs get. But for me this is amazing, I didn't think 1 person would even bother to consider reading a blog someone like me has made. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you to anyone out there, it is much appreciated.

Rubbish Nail varnish

Hello, just thought I would review this nail varnish I have just put on, it is terrible. My mother bought these little sets of nail varnishes to put in my sisters and I's advent calenders. I tried a silvery-grey one the other day and it was just as bad. She got them cheap from this shop, b&m, so I shouldn't really be surprised at its quality, but anyway, it is not good.

They all look like this, in sweet little bottles, and are really nice colours. This one is a deep pink colour with glitter pieces. 

This is what it looked like on after 2 coats, if it had been better quality I think i might have added another coat, but I don't think it is worth it because I am going to have to take it straight off.

You can't really see from this picture because it is all out of focus, but it started moving whenever you touched it, so I could literally just press on it and it would be ruined. 

So overall this was terrible nail varnish/polish whatever you choose to call it and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Bedroom Tour?

I was thinking about doing a bedroom tour, but didn't know if that was stupid or not, so I have come to ask your opinion. Any ideas? Let me know.If you have any better ideas then tell me them as well. Thank you.

What's in my bag? Part 3

Hello everyone, so this is the third and final installment of the 'What's in my bag?' posts, thank god. I hope you found it interesting and I'm sorry it has taken me this long to upload this final part. So here we go.

My telephone aka Sebastian. Had him for a year or two. He is often dropped and you can probably see that he is quite chipped around the edges. Poor thing, I know. You can't see from this picture, but the back is currently pink as it came with 3 different colour backs (pink, lime green and white).

These are my tickets from the places I have visited this year, Thorpe Park, Warwick Castle and the London Dungeons. All were really good. I like to keep these as reminders of those days.

And finally, my purse, from Primark, and the cards which it contains. I have always envied people with a purse full of all these colourful plastic cards and now I have begun my own collection. I have my Superdrug Card, my Costa Coffee Club Card, a Zara Gift Card, my drivers licence (I have chosen to hide the absolutely awful picture from the eyes of the world) and now I have a Harrods Card, which is not in the picture.

Anyway, I hope this was interesting and let me know what you think, even if you thought this was a complete waste of time, I will be pleased to get some feedback.

what's in my bag? Part 2

Because the first part of my 'What's in my bag?' post was so long, I decided to cut it into however many parts it takes. I'm not sure if this is really very interesting for readers, so let me know and I will/will not do this sort of thing in the future.

This is my spray hand sanitiser. I am a big fan of the gel ones, but this spray version is so easy to use and just keep in my hand bag, especially when travelling around.

Some sugar sachets I stole from Costa, not that I even take sugar in my tea, but I guess you never know when you might need a pick-me-up.

My Superdrug 'The Little Green Tin', which I would find very hard living without. It is basically just your average Vaseline pot, but with some kind of Aloe Vera component. It is so good, especially at the moment when my lips are really chapped and dry because of the really cold weather. I use it all the time and during the week it lives in my pencil case so that I can use it at school.

My poppy left over from Remembrance day, a little while ago now, so I should probably take it out. 

A clean-up wipe for your hands. I think that I got given this the last time I went into a Crispy Kreme shop to get doughnuts. These are always really useful, so I just picked them up to keep. More thievery  this is making me sound really bad. 

Some Halls Soothers. Because you never know when a sore throat might strike!

And some random ribbon? Quite nice, but I have no idea where it came from or why it is in my bag.

Almost there, but not quite. So there is still more to come if anyone is interested.

What's in my bag? Part 1

I thought that, since it needed a thorough clean out, I would do a 'what's in my bag?' post and show you all that my hand bag has to offer. I haven't cleaned anything, it is exactly as it was when I took it out, so all you lovely people can see what a messy cow I am.




Well, first things first, this is my lovely bag.

It is officially called a 'Cath Kidston Chelsea Roses Mini Tote' and I love it. I received it for my birthday, I think, last year from my best friend Rebecca. I take it everywhere, as it is such a handy size, not too big to get in the way, but big enough to get a lot of stuff (crud!!) in there, I have even taken it to school a couple of times when I didn't need a folder or any books.

Though when I need to take more stuff, like when I went to London not that long ago, I took my even more lovely 'Cambridge Satchel Company' Satchel, which I got this year for my 18th. You can't really see in this poor excuse of a photo, but it is engraved with 'EJH' my initials, because my mummy and daddy love me.

I know Minstrels are quite a random thing to have in your bag, but I'm not a complete chocolate obsessive, I promise. We went to see the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn 2 the other week, for which we were prepared and pre-bought chocolate, because as you well now, cinema food is pretty pricey. Though when the time came, we bought a large popcorn and I had a Costa fruit cooler, so we didn't really fancy them.

Post-it notes we stole from the Oxford Brookes Open Day, always quite useful.

My filofax, which I love and it is so handy. Last year I was completely forgetting some really important things, but now I can write it down. 

A House of Fraser gift card I have yet to spend, but I love that shop so I don't think it will be particularly hard.

I know it sounds weird, but it isn't really, I don't think. This is a poo bag. Lovely isn't it. It's for when I take my dog for a walk.

These are my sunglasses, not really appropriate for this weather, and I think that may be a sticker that used to be stuck to the outside of my bag and then disappeared. I think I just found it.

This is a small hand cream tube that I got given by my friend Alice a little while ago. It smells really nice.

Anyway, that it quite a lot for one post I think, so I will be continuing with the rest of the contents of my bag in a few days.
