Hey peeps, you alright? I finally got round to cleaning/washing my make up brushes!! It was well overdue but its something off my to-do list, thats something right? It was actually really easy to do, which means I could have done it a lot sooner, hey ho, haha! This is me sharing the wisdom. You only need 5 things: a bowl, shampoo, a lint-free cloth, hot water and, the major thing, your dirty make-up covered brushes.


I used a shampoo hotel tester, mainly because my housemate was in the shower at the time, but nevertheless done the job. Thats a Millie's top tip.... Here's how to do it:

Fill the bowl with lukewarm water and pour some shampoo in.
Run the brush tip under the tap. Try to avoid the handle of the brush. You can use the palm of your hand or finger tips to ease residue out.
Next, put the brush tips into the bowl and swish around. I found pushing the brush to the bottom of the bowl had a better result. I promise you my foundation isn't orange haha!
Keep repeating this, running the brush under the tap, until water runs clear.
Dab each brush with a cloth into shape.
Leave to dry on a cloth.
Hello, clean brushes!


Now I'm going to make more of an effort to clean them more regularly. Out of interest, how often is regular?

Its another bath bomb from Lush today! I got SO many Lush products for my birthday (for which I will do a post on soon) so, so lucky and I'll never have to have a splurge again! Granny Takes A Dip (£3.35) has always taken my fancy, its bright and eye-catching but I'd never tried it. I was so happy with the result! *Attempts crappy Austin Powers voice* yeaaaah baby

It slowly releases lemon, ginger and black pepper essential oils. Yes, those ingredients do also sound like they would go well on some chicken... The effect is totally different in a bath, in a good way! Such a lovely bath bomb for de-stressing and chilling out. Another great bath-before-bed choice, the colours are amazing too, as you can see. Next time I'll try not to make it a bath bomb, but who knows :)


What's your new favourite bath-time/shower-time product?

Its Valentines Day! Everyone is either all mushy or bitter... I'm single, but I'm still allowed to be mushy right? I have planned a night in, chilling out, relaxing and basically doing whatever the heck I feel like!


I bought myself a magazine, I know actual print! Shocker! This months Elle has the wonderful Keira Knightly who featured in my Boob Appreciation Post - here it also comes with a free Benefit mascara, wheeey! I'm going to have a bath, re-paint my nails, have a face mask and take the time moisturise my entire body!


I have promised myself no sad films this Valentines, I used to have a ritual of watching The Notebook and a tub of Ben and Jerrys Phish Food (probably along with the majority of all other single girls) but no more. Every girl needs Ryan Gosling when there is no-one else, but I'm making a stand - still love you Ryan! I'm swapping it for girls this year. (Not how it sounds...) I finished Season 6 of Parks and Recreation with the fab Amy Poehler, last night. On Galentines Day yes! Today I'm planning on binge-watching 30 Rock with Tina Fey, can't wait! Swapping tears for comedy, yeah buddy! Maybe ice cream for carrots? Hahaha, no, I'm single not dead!


Hope you all have a lovely day!

Ok, it looks like I've been AWOL for a bit (really need to schedule posts ha!) but I'm back - she says again. I'm sure a lot of you already know who Lily Pebbles is, she does this really cool post WEAR LIFE EATS and I fancied doing one. Mainly because I wanted to do a Weekend in Pictures (most recent one here) but didn't have enough pictures for said weekend... I'm also doing this personal challenge to travel somewhere once a month, so hang on for that :) this is January's entry!

Happy Australia Day at the hostel with Luke and a couple of pints

LIVING - we finally went on a course trip!! We went to see Deal Or No Deal being filmed last year in Bristol but Noel Edmonds wouldn't have a photo with us so yes, it sucked. I mean c'mon Noel, saying no to a group of Media Production students having an Instagram worthy photo with you? You've lost viewers mate. Anyway, moving on haha! We went to London and stayed in this really awesome hostel - Generator, just by Russell Square and would honestly stay there again! They named the floor levels by characters! Proper cool. This time we saw The Wright Stuff and Mel & Sue who were all super nice :)


WEARING - found this pretty cool top at Primark with celeb male crushes names on and I love it. Brad, Leo, Ryan, Zac and Channing. They could have added a Harry, but seeing as I already have a 'You're not Harry Styles' tee, its alright ;) This is going to the top of my list of things to throw on when I don't know what to wear haha! Bargain price of £3.50 can I add.



EATING - between Russell Square tube station and the hostel was this independent burger place Burger & Shake and it was beaut! I had the pulled-pork roll, absolute sucker for anything pulled-pork, so much pulled-pork it was crazy. Said pulled-pork waaaay too much in that sentence ha! If you're in the area or looking for non-chained-restaurant food then give it a go. A bit more than McDonalds but rather reasonable for London prices.


I hope you enjoyed this post
Millie
