Christmas Red

So it's the 1st of December...my god, how did that come around so fast!  Since it is officially the start of the festive season (yes, I'll now allow the christmas music and decorations to commence), I thought it would be appropriate to get the bauble rolling with a classic Christmassy golden eye and red lip.

Cappucino Nudes

If you know me, you'll know that I'm a massive advocate of the brown smokey eye for any occasion that involves a little more than a hair brush.  Not only do I feel that brown, bronze and gold tones suit my skin tone the best, but there are just so many looks you can create with the same colour palette, whether it be more daytime or evening appropriate.

Autumn Eyes

Ok, so life happened and I fell off the blogging band wagon, again.  In my defence, I was in America for two weeks travelling up the west coast, and while it was absolutely 100% the most amazing trip of my life, it was so hectic and as a result my poor corner of the internet became neglected.

Where I Get My Fitspo

I'm not going to pretend like I'm one of those girls who jumps out of bed at the crack of dawn and goes for a run, but nor can I go weeks without exercise and not feel like a complete potato. On those days when I'm feeling my least motivated, I have a few ways of getting back on track and down the gym for a work out.  Today I thought I would share those with you.

A Perfect Day

A couple of days ago I was scrolling through Lauren from 'Britton Loves' blog, and came across a post titled 'The Perfect Day'.  It was such a lovely post to read that I wanted to recreate her list with my ideas about what would contribute to my own perfect day.

Photo Diary: Brighton.

On a very overcast Saturday morning, I caught the train down to the wonderfully eclectic seaside town of Brighton, to visit two of my best friends from University.  This post is by no means a 'guide to Brighton', as I am quite uneducated when it comes to the best spots to sit and have coffee, or the 'must see' hidden gems of The Lanes.  Instead, I thought I would snap a few photos while I was there, and show you our lovely little day.

Frugal Fun at Leith Hill

When I was much younger, the thought of going for a long walk in the countryside could not have been less appealing.  I guess I just couldn't appreciate the beautiful scenery and fresh air that we're lucky enough to have on our door steps. 

Gooey Salted Caramel Brownies

I'm not going to beat around the bush, when I saw this recipe for salted caramel brownies pop up on ViviannaDoesMakeup's Youtube channel (watch the video here), any thoughts about my summer body went straight out the window.  The ingredients of these brownies do not include avocado or beetroot that will contribute to defined abs or a perky bum, but instead will leave you floating around in a chocolatey, salted caramel filled heaven.

What to do Now You've Finished University

Dissertation deadline day AKA most stress relieving moment of our lives.

I don't officially graduate from University until November, but finishing my degree and receiving my grades has left me in a bit of a funk for what to do next.  A 'graduand', some might call this period of time, but I just call it in limbo.  I've finished, but haven't got the certificate to prove it, and most mornings I wake up with the thought 'what the hell am I doing with my life?!'.  

To calm my own mind, and hopefully some of yours who might be feeling the same, I've put together a little list of ideas 'what to do next...'.  Although I probably won't be able to solve all of our problems (trust me, I wish I could!), hopefully I can give you some inspiration.

My Boardmasters Festival Experience 2016

'The View' Stage

Generally, a weekend spent sleeping on an inch thick pilates mat, in a (very) temperature sensitive tent, surrounded by dirt, dust and drunk people, doesn't really appeal to me.  Yep! You guessed it.  I could not be more the type of girl to enjoy early nights, the comforts of a warm shower in the morning and typically more than one type of fruit and/or vegetable per day.
