20 Things I Want in My 20's

If some of you know me quite well, you will know that I turned 20 on Tuesday. To be honest, I've had better birthdays- it was the first year that I have ever worked on my birthday and had Birthday plans orientated around my job which sucked a little bit, and with me working very long shifts I was far too tired to actually enjoy the day itself. Nevertheless I did get spoilt. So because I still don't really feel 20 yet I thought I would do this little personal post which would make me think about exactly what I want in this next decade of my life where I'm no longer a teenager and have abit of growing up to do...

1. To graduate university
2. To get a great full time job
3. To get married
4. To at least have 1 child
5. To buy my first house for my family to grow up in
6. To still embrace my wild side
7. Make time to travel and see the places I want to see
8. Buy a designer handbag and shoes
9. Spend Christmas or New Year in another country (preferably both)
10. Treat my parents- like properly expensive treat them!
11. Learn to cook homely food
12. Commit to a fitness routine
13. Learn to appreciate wine
14. Commit to learning a new language
15. Make more of an effort with family/friends who I don't see that often
16. Change my hair style for goodness sake...
17. Get my own pet
18. Embrace my 'alone time'
19. Manage my money
20. Just enjoy myself

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation and Radiant Creamy Concealer Review

When it comes to make up I always feel like the base is the one thing you need to get right to make the rest of your make up look good. That is why I always like to experiment with different primers, foundations, concealers and powders to find my ideal combinations for different occasions. After constantly seeing Nars Sheer Glow bombing around pretty much everywhere online, I decided to go into my local John Lewis (on more than one occasion) get colour matched. After toying between the samples of Deauville and Fiji for way too long, I decided to go back to John Lewis for one last time to get their opinion. After a problem in store, the girls on the counter decided to give me a full base makeover and, lets just say, I was very impressed and stuff went on my Christmas list.

My New Year Favourites

Happy New Year! 2017 was a year where I did some pretty awesome things; I graduated my MA with distinction, I was part of a team which raised £60k for charity, I got to do more travelling this year. However this year has also come with a lot of self-reflection and a lot of wake up calls. I am going into 2018 feeling lost in the world of work; with no more education to turn to and trying to find my place in society to earn a living. It's stressful and is tough, however, temporary as I am keeping positive and something will come my way! 2017 has been great for self-reflection and really focusing on myself, what I want and what I enjoy. Anyways, enough self-reflection for now! I wanted to kick start 2018 off by sharing with you some of my favourite things that are coming into the new year with me that I have been loving, will continue to use and recommend to you guys!

Mani of the Month: Primark PS Nudes Nail Polish Set

It's no secret that I love painting my own nails. It's a way for me to relax as well as being therapeutic for me. I am often complimented on my nails and asked where I get them done, only to see their shock and surprise at the fact that I do them myself and that they aren't fake! I honestly feel like my choices of nail polish reflect how people react- if I am wearing a polish which looks streaky and tacky people notice, however when my nails are done well, and with good quality polishes which are 'on trend' colours then that is when I get the most compliments. And at the moment that 'on trend' colour is anything nude. I love nude nails, and for me, I really struggle to find the perfect nude nail polish; or any kind of nude beauty products for that matter! So when I was having a scout around good old Primarni, I came across this little set of nude nail polishes. They look lovely, don't they...
