Summer Favourites.

As the summer as well as August comes to an ending I thought that I would tell you all what I have loved this summer instead of doing the normal end of the month favourites. So before I start rambling on forever, let's get straight into it!
(I am gonna put links to as many things as possible below)

Nails: 
Max Factor Glossfinity (Cute Coral)
Maybelline New York Forever Strong Gel Nail Colour ( Uptown Blue 20) - my current shade! 

Both of these polishes have been my go-to's over the summer. They have a great formula which means that they last longer on my nails compared to polishes with different formulas. In my personal opinion I believe that they are just as good as more expensive brands such as 'essie' or 'model's own'.

Shoes: 
White Gizeh toe-post Birkenstocks

I was just like anybody else slightly against the birkenstock trend and wondered would they ever suit me. However once I took that leap of faith and bought myself a pair, I couldn't be more happier with them. They are super comfy and really support my feet in a way that many other shoes can't.

Backpack: 
White Palm Tree Print Backpack

This is another summer trend that I wasn't sure about in the beginning but once again I caved!! Once again it certainly wasn't a mistake. It can be a bit of an inconvenice whilst in the shops as it can bump into things and it can be a hassle to take off and open. What I really love about it is that there is so much space in it and as it doesn't only go on one shoulder it means that it really helps with balance etc. Also the colours on it are real cute.

TV:
Greys Anatomy 
Gilmore Girls 
Scandal 

For anybody who is a regular reader of this blog you wouldn't be surprised by the first two so I don't need to go on because well we would be here all day! However Shonda Rhimes has done it again for me. I am only about half way through the second season but I am already hooked. #teamolitz

That really is the end of my favourites. I haven't been using many new products because I have just been busy enjoying what will be my last summer at home for a while.

I hope you all are enjoying the end of the summer/back to school period,

Until next time,

Freeman facial clay mask avocado and oatmeal review.

So as many of you will know I went to New York a few months back. The problem for me when I travel is that my skin becomes gross and disgusting. So I went down to our local CVS to pick up some face masks. I had never heard of this brand before, so I was a bit hesitant with how good it would be and honestly I only really bought because they were on offer. (I know. I have a problem.)


For me I get quite oily skin so I need a face mask that can keep my skin that smooths and evens my skin out. Which is exactly what this product does for me. I have also found that the mask really relaxes me and makes me feel calm after a long day. Also it smells flippin' amazing.


I can tend to apply this about once or twice a week, but it can really depend on how my skin is feeling and if I feel like a pampering session. It is so easy to apply and then to remove after the 5-10 minutes of it being on my face.

I would highly recommend this to anybody as it such an affordable thing for the everyday person to have. I couldn't find a link for it within the UK but if you live in the USA or Canada you can find it here at CVS where you can find this one and all the others that are available.

I also have the 'Anti-Stress Mask Deep Sea Minerals' which I am super excited to try after loving this one so much!

Until next time

My little jar of memories.

So during my My Favourite Things In My Bedroom post, I said I would show y'all some room DIY...

Today I wanted to focus on my main jar, or as I like to call it 'my jar of memories'.

In my life I have been very fortunate with the places that I have travelled and the things I have experienced within my life so far. However just like any other human I sometimes do have some down days... shocker! I use this jar to cheer me up and motivate me to get through the day.

 You can make one for yourself in some very easy steps....

You will need:

• A large jar
• tickets/wristband or anything along these lines

1. Make sure your jar is clean and any labels are taken off (only neccessary if recycling)

2. Collate Everything that you want to put into your jar and arrange them in any way you like.


I love recycling old jars and giving them a brand new leace of life. As you saw in the picture I made another into a lipgloss pot and another into a plasters pot, ( I use them both alot... hahaha)

Until next time

July Favourites!

It's that time of the month again, it's my monthly favourites :)

Beauty: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
This is a beautiful water that wipes all my make up off with such ease, and leaves my skin feeling beautiful afterwards. I never used to use these sorts of products to wash off my make up (I know naughty!) but now I have started I believe that I will never look back.

Clothing: Gandys Flip Flops
Normally I cannot stand to wear flip-flops as they feel like you are just walking on the ground however these are amazing. They have a thick cushion which supports my feet wonderfully. Also they give money to charity from them which is always a bonus.

Music: MKTO - Classic
I know this song is old but who cares! this has been on repeat for now what feels like forever. It is such a feel good summer song that just makes you wanna dance. Click on the link and you can thank me later...

Random: Bath and Body Works, Watermelon Lemonade Candle
I got this beautiful candle from a lovely friend of mine for my birthday and it is one of the best candles I have ever used. I have always wanted to try one of the bath and body works candle because everybody in what feels like the world has raved about it and I am afraid I am next. So go get yourself one.

Hope y'all are having the best day.

Until next time
