Little Geordie Lass is Moving!

Don't panic! I will still be here, however I will not be blogging from my lovely home in Newcastle... Let me explain...


My last post regarding my holiday in Egypt with my boyfriend was one which was very special for both of us. We had both finished uni and ready to go into the working world and this was our last break and bit of relaxation before all the uncertainty about 'adulting' was ready to start again. I have been relatively quiet since I have come back, that is because so much has changed in our lives. My better half started a new job which involved moving down near Reading and it has been a tough pill for me to swallow with him moving so far away.

However, it could have been a lot worse; I am the type of person who keeps themselves busy, surrounds themselves with lots of things and gets involved in many hobbies to stop my mind from wandering and overthinking as this is my biggest weakness from succeeding. Before this gets really deep, luckily I do have something that is distracting me from my big change. While I was in Egypt I got a phone call for a job interview in York which I accepted. With only a few days to prepare I took the train down to York and just did the interview with no expectations, only that I wanted this one. This was my 13th job interview since submitting my dissertation and I was adamant that I wasn't going to just jump into any job that paid well. I spent so much on higher education, I wanted a job which had something to do with my studies. The interview was on a Friday and after the weekend, on the Monday morning, I got a phone call...

I GOT THE JOB!

After months of stress and anxiety over finding a decent job after graduation I was so happy to be offered a role which will test me, a one which I will enjoy and can make the most of using all my best skills. I'm not going to say much about the job yet, all I will say is that I am going to be moving to York next week and taking some time to settle in, sort my life out and adjust to living away from home again. York may not be far (1 hour on the train) but for someone who is a home bird and loves her dog, Mam and Dad's cooking and being so close to all my friends and family, this is going to be an adjustment for me. 

I am so glad I now have something super exciting to look forward to! I hope to keep this blog going and doing a lot more posts about the things that interest me, I might do some content about my move and what it is like living in a new city, however I am going to be fairly quiet for the next couple of weeks until I get myself sorted and settled. I just wanted to share my good news! Next time I will be blogging I will be in my new bedroom!

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...
