Flowers are easy to get good pictures of because they so pwiddy. I ran outside in the rain one afternoon and took a few shots of the flowers in my Auntie's garden. Fair to say I got soaked, but this was one of my favourites.
Welcome to my little blog. This is pretty much just a space for me to ramble on about little things. I love to write and most of the time it'll be absolute rubbish, but it's also a great way for me to remember everything in the years to come!

Shoutout to mini me.

She's super cool.
Here is possibly the only nice photo we have together (We pull silly faces a lot)

Rambling post #1: Foundation problems.
One of the biggest dilemmas I have to face (scuse the pun) is choosing the right foundation.
If you're not a massive make up fan, then it doesn't sound that much of a problem.
But first you need a decent base that has a long lasting stay and doesn't give you too much of a shiny face (overcoming that last one would be powder, but the downside of that is it means spending extra pennies - not good for a poor student like me).
Then when you have an ideal foundation, there's picking the right shade.
This drives me INSANE.
I have tried so many different types and brands and I still haven't found the perfect match - even the No7 shade match didn't find one!
Maybe I just have awkward skin…
So I'm asking you,
What foundation do you use? I need recommendations.

A long awaited review!
Finally!
A while ago I bought a Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub, and I promised a review.*You can see the first post here*
Soap & Glory Massage Glove £8.50 from Boots
SO HERE IT FINALLY IS!
First of all, like all other S&G products, it smells UH-MAZING.
I used the scrub with Soap & Glory's Massage Glove in the shower on my legs and afterwards they felt amazing!
I literally stepped out of the shower feeling like I had the most amazing legs in the world.
They felt so soft and smooth afterwards that I couldn't get enough of it.
If you're body conscious (like me) then this will at least help you feel more confident about your legs - get out there and don those short skirts!
There isn't much else to say apart from BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT.
I would definitely recommend both of these to everyone. They should seriously start selling them together as a package because they go together like cookies and milk. Both of these products are my two favourites from Soap & Glory so far.

A day at Total Warrior
As i'm studying Events Management at Uni, I try to volunteer at as many events as possible.
A couple of weeks ago I volunteered for a day at Total Warrior. It was so fun! Definitely the most enjoyable work experience i've had at an event so far. I even got a free jacket!
I got a t-shirt too but I much prefer the jacket. And I got free food. Free food is key.
So my position was an obstacle marshall. I just had to make sure that people were using the obstacle correctly and safely. My obstacle was the trenches. So far it sounds a bit boring, but shouting at the competitors like an army general kept me occupied! And I could tell it was motivating them.
All the contestants needed to do is jump into that lovely watery mud, and climb over the little hill using the rope (at this point they had tackled 25 obstacles and 10km). Luckily I had no injuries to deal with!
Yeah. This happened.
Just a few more of the obstacles!
So if you're thinking of volunteering at an event, I'd definitely recommend this one! It's so fun!

Apologies for the absence...
As it turns out, I have had a lot on my plate recently.
I just found out I finished my first year of university with a 2:1.
I have just started my placement year for uni which I am doing at a children's centre working on their fundraising events.
And I just got a new job - the LEGO store in Trinity if you please.
I'm feeling very proud of myself at the moment, however I just havn't had the time to blog!
Now things seem to have settled down, I am hoping to jump back on the bandwagon and get this page filling up again.
I shall also be posting the Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub review that I promised those many months ago.
Muchas gracias for your patience my lovelies.
