Just a silly little post for today :)
For the first time in forever (yes, I'm singing Frozen) I went 'out out' and revelling in my last uni year dedicated a whole day towards recovering. Me and my bestie/housemate, Luke, had the best day doing bugger-all and blaming everything on our hangovers ha!


Junk food
The diet goes out the window on a hangover, accept it and embrace it. You really want that fry up and fizzy drink and all other snacks you can find. Cravings on a whole new level today. The only reason you even bother to go to the shop is imagining the food you're about to buy. Basically the calories you burnt off dancing last night you've just eaten 10 fold...


Pjs
Staying in your pjs ALL DAY! If you need to go to the shop going in your pjs, at a push shoving joggers on. Or a onesie. Yes, hangovers are what onesies were made for. Isn't the self-serve at Tesco made so you don't have to face people and can wear whatever the hell you like?

Not Caring About Your Face
No contact lenses, keeping glasses on is a blessing. The same goes for hair and make-up, you look like death warmed up. You probably haven't even washed, but who actually cares? You aren't going anywhere, if you do bump into someone a shrug of your shoulders is how much you care.

Films
Anything too heavy is a no, nothing that makes you think too much or at all. You need films that you've seen before, because it's extra comforting. Rom-coms are the usual first pick. Unless you are one of those people who love a hangover cry, then drama. Our choices we're super cheesy. Maid in Manhattan, The Backup Plan (loving J-Lo) and Titanic which I undoubtably sobbed my heart out haha!


Happy hangovers hehehe :)

I was planning a product review then decided to make a weekly/fortnightly/monthly thing, 'What's In My Bath?' I love Lush but it won't always be Lush products, this is me trying something new and all that, hope you enjoy :)

If you love a bath to get you ready for bed then this is it. Twilight (£3.35) is one of my favourites from Lush and is most definitely the best bedtime bath bomb. Woah, alliteration! Infused with lavender, its the perfect relaxation tool without being overpowering. Tonka absolute, ylang ylang oil and benzion resinoid is also in there (is there anyone who knows what these are without going on the Lush website? Can we be friends?). I don't really make much sense of those but its so goooood.



The main colour is pink and fizzes away to reveal a blue inside. The end result is a lovely purple - hence the name, its glittery too. Just a shimmer, which I'm guessing are the stars... its only a hint though not as much as Dragon Egg. Chilling out in the bath after a long day is one of life's little luxuries :)

Let me know what you think of Twilight in the comments below :)

Last week was my friend Jamie's 21st, he had a fancy dress party. I love fancy dress, literally, love it! Its so much fun, whats not to love? If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you'll know I dressed up as Mary Poppins, Julie Andrews is an absolute idol of mine. To be honest I think I pulled off the look quite well and on a budget, score!


The Outfit
I didn't have a white blouse in my wardrobe which is shocking, I'll definitely wear again so didn't mind spending up to £10 for one. I found mine in Primark - £9. Then added a red ribbon which was hiding in my sewing box and popped that around my neck. We're getting somewhere already!
I managed to find a blue blazer in Primark - £7, which was amazing, I thought finding one would be a nightmare. This might make it into my wardrobe too, I like having pieces that expand my comfort zone :)
Then I spotted a long black skirt in a charity shop. Charity shops are great for fancy dress, cheap and doing a good deed. I probably would have tried to find the rest of the outfit in charity shops too, but as per usual I left it until the last minute haha!
With black tights and black boots.


Hair and Make-Up
Mary Poppins has her hair in a low bun, after a few attempts it was pretty easy to achieve. With thanks to my past life as a ballerina ;) she has a middle parting but two bits making for a fringe like effect, I pinned in two quiffs and flattened them to my forehead.
The make-up was really easy but not something I would normally go for. I did all my usual basics then added blue eyeshadow. I haven't worn blue eyeshadow since I was about 12 in my dancing days haha! I found this mini Maybelline duo in Poundland, they have a great range of discontinued products to be honest. Then added Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Kiss Of Life - 111 and a bit more blusher than usual. (I would have made the effort to add false eyelashes but I was on a time limit!)


Extras
Hat. I picked this up from a fancy dress shop and found a hair band with flowers on. Then glued the flowers to the hat with my glue gun. Improvisation and yes, I have a glue gun...
Umbrella. Its so easy to find cheap umbrellas, because its for a party (and I did leave it at the pub oops) the cheaper the better.
Bag. I actually had this in my drawer, I can't believe I've kept it this long but it finally came in handy - such a hoarder ha!


I hope this helps anyone thats going for this look! It was so much fun and everyone knew who I was because she is such an iconic character :)


Maybe I'll be Maria from The Sound of Music next? Mary, Maria, Millie yep!

Hey peeps, you alright? I've been away for a few days, totally busting out the uni work ha!
I went sale shopping! They weren't the best this year it must be said. I'm learning that a lot of the time they bring out old stock and pass it off as a bargain, when really it isn't, I still managed to find some wicked bits! Some I had my eye on for a while and others I stumbled upon :)
I know sale items can differ from place to place and most of these aren't available for online shopping, sorry anyway here's what I got:



Alexa Chung - IT
Sunglasses - New Look not available online
Earrings - Topshop not available online
Ring - Topshop not available online
Washi Tape - Topshop not available online


Socks - H&M not available online
Kimono - H&M not available online
Grey Top - Matalan not available online

This is probably one of my last hauls for a bit (apart from my birthday hehe) because I'm planning on saving for travelling!
