January Favourites

Hello everyone!

So, it's coming towards the end of the first month of 2014. Can you believe how fast it's gone?! For me this month has truly flown by and I'm pretty that has something to do with me having my first exams of the year, getting back into a routine and therefore just not having as much free time as I would like. This is probably a good thing considering it means I'm not spending all my time lying in bed, eating and scrolling endlessly through tumblr. Instead, I am getting out there and getting stuff done, which some of you may remember was one of my 2014 resolutions. Here's hoping I continue it!

So, as it's coming to the end of the month I thought that a fitting blogpost would be my January favourites! I don't go through enough products to make this a monthly thing, but since doing my September favourites and my 2013 favourites, I seem to have accumulated enough stuff to make a post about it! I know many people tend to just stick to beauty, but I thought I'd do a whole collection of stuff.

Back to blogging and a Christmas Haul!

Hello everyone! I hope you're all well and that you all had a wonderful Christmas and if you don't celebrate Christmas, then I hope you had a wonderful day anyway!

I had planned on doing Blogmas this year, and I think it's safe to say that I failed. Well, I half failed. I managed to complete about half but then exams fully took over and I had time for absolutely nothing, other than studying. I barely even slept. In two weeks, I think I slept an average of four hours each night? I had a grand total of 16 exams in that short space of time and no sooner had I finished exam, it was on to the next one. My life literally consisted of college and exams, home, study until about 1am, sleep until my alarm went off at 6, study and then set off for college at 7:55 before beginning the whole process again. From the time I went to bed until the time I got up, I didn't actually manage to sleep that much. I was shattered but would suddenly jolt awake reciting definitions and formulas in my head. Yes, it does sound like I was going mad and, to be honest, that's exactly what it felt like! I'd love to do blogmas this year, but maybe I will have to write the posts well in advance. Maybe I should start tomorrow! haha

Anyway, now is the perfect time to get back into blogging. I figured a good way to start is to do a bit of a Christmas haul and then tomorrow, I will be uploading another post all about my Christmas and Boxing day. Hope you enjoy!

September Favourites and October Wishes.

I think we can all agree that September absolutely flew by. For most people, Septembers brings the return to school, college or university, the first signs of Autumn and the ever growing build-up to Halloween. September has been surprisingly good for me. I've made new friends, got even closer to old ones, had some unforgettable moments and even made this blog! With the end of yet another month passing us by comes the never ending spree of "monthly favourites" vlogs, blog posts and tumblr tags, so I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and do my own. Yes, I am being a sheep with this one. I won't necessarily be doing a monthly favourites every month, as I don't tend to branch out and try different products very often (instead preferring to stick to what I know and love) but let's just see how it goes.

Post: Número Uno.

As this is my first post on here, I figured I'd post five facts about myself so that you can all get to know me a little bit better so...

1. I've broken ten bones in the past eight years. I guess you could say I either have bad luck or that I'm just very fragile. So far I've broken my right wrist, left wrist & elbow, two fingers, three toes, nose and managed to chip a bone in my left wrist. The most recent was the left wrist & elbow as well as chipping my wrist ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Doctors say that other that your back, the elbow is the most painful bone to break and I can definitely confirm that, haha.

   2. I'm a fiercely private person. I rarely tell anyone anything, even the smallest thing. Yeah I know, it's really unhealthy bla bla bla but I guess that's just who I am.

   3. All of my friends seem to know exactly what they want to do with their lives; what they want to study, their future professions, where they want to study, etc. whereas I know absolutely nothing. I used to change my mind every three months when I'd suddenly become really passionate about something and then just dwindle out of it. I'm currently studying medicine but I feel uncertain if that's really what I want to do. I had originally chosen fashion as I spend nearly all of my free time reading fashion magazines, blogs and designing/putting together outfits in my head, but after being told by so many people that it was not achievable and that there are no jobs, I knew that I had to pick another option. (Bad decision?)

  4. One of the worst questions to be asked; Who is your favourite band/singer? or What is your favourite song? My music taste varies greatly, from Lana Del Rey to Jay Z to Rihanna to The XX to Frank Ocean to A$AP Rocky (you get the picture) so I have no idea how people actually have an answer to these questions. Because of my love of music, me and some friends recently decided to go to T in the Park and I can honestly say it was one of the best weekends of my life. I even managed 5 days without a shower!

  5. I adore travelling. So far I've travelled most of the UK, France, Spain and Portugal with friends! Next Summer I hope to travel Europe by train, visiting 30 countries in just under a month. Excited is an understatement.
