I've been a bad blogger =(

I have been back in London for over a week now, in fact pushing on for 2 weeks, so I must apologise for not blogging sooner!

Sorry!

Ok with that out of the way its onto the good stuff! So what have I been up to?

Well I returned to London on the 24th May, and met up with an old friend on the 25th, it was a really fun day! Then on the 26th my housemates finished there exams, which of course meant, MASSIVE NIGHT OUT!!! Starting at TGI Fridays for cocktails and then on to Zoo bar for plenty of dancing, and lots of very random photos!!!!

The weekend was then spent relaxing, shopping, drinking, the normal kinda thing!! Monday was a bank holiday so as always the day was spent doing a whole bunch of nothing!!! I have basically then just been bad and not got round to posting anything!

Tonight we are off to a house party, and then tomorrow I'm off to Guildford to visit my grandparents! I go and see them every month, and this past month seems to have dragged, so I'm looking forward to spending the day with them!

Its super hot here, which is not always a great thing, my skin blisters in the heat (I have no idea, and after yesterdays trip to the doctors it seems she doesn't either!) So I have been outside attempting to tan, and blistering my arms instead, I'm cool like that! Its very painful!!!

I'm going to try and come up with some more beauty related blogs to post this week! So be looking out for those!

Take care!

Slacker Alert!

Again, apologies for the lack of posts, I'm currently at home with my parents preparing for my grandfathers memorial party. I'm doing alot of the cooking so that then leaves little time to do much else!

I'm back in London on Monday, and no doubt with the current state of things there I will be posting several fairly lengthy posts...anything to avoid the avoidable!!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine, its making me super happy!

Lush Love!!


I have to admit, I'm a total lush junkie! I LOVE IT! Whilst on YouTube today I came across a user who makes videos of Lush bath cocktails, what first drew me to her videos was the fact she had so many products to put in the one bath! So before I start properly on this blog, I will let you know her YouTube URL so you can check her out for yourself:

Having spent a large chunk of the day watching all her Lush bath cocktail videos, I thought to myself, "Right, I have a lot of Christmas products left over, tonight I'm having bath!" So taking Bam1282's idea of using a bath ballistic, a bubble bar, and a bath melt, I selected (with some difficulty) one of each to use! I knew I wanted a relaxing bath so I went for a 'Cinders' ballistic, half a 'Christmas Eve' bubble bar (these are amazing and REALLY relaxing!) and for the bath melt, I used the 'Want to Believe'.

So having lobbed everything in my tub, I put the shower on (the shower pressure is much better than the tap pressure in my bath!), the bubbles created were amazing, but did disappear very quickly! The colour was slightly odd as well, due to the mix of the yellow, blue and grey of each product it turned a very odd shade of green!

Colour and lack of bubbles aside, I have a lovely relaxing one hour bath, and i feel very relaxed! Oh, I also facemasked (not sure that's even a word!), I used Lush's Oatifix fresh face mask, this has to be my favourite fresh face mask, I cannot get enough of the smell! Its so good I want to eat it! Which in all fairness you probably could do, but I wouldn't recommend it!!!!

Anyways, now I feel super relaxed, even though its 1am and I'm up writing this! Hopefully I should get a good nights sleep...once I decide to stop messing around and GO TO SLEEP!!!!

Night world, 'til the next time! xxx

Two in a row!!

It's amazing isn't it?! I don't blog for ages and then cook up to blogs in as many days!!!!

Today was a good day, scary in places, but on the whole good! Last night I decided to henna my hair, chocolate brown, I mixed it up, had my housemate apply it, and an hour later I had had enough!!! We only finished applying it at 11:20pm and I was EXHAUSTED by 12:30!! I managed to last until 1am before rinsing it out. Even though I didn't leave it in for that long, I'm happy with the results!! Going to henna again next week for several hours! Think the trick might be to a) either do it on a night when there is alot to watch on TV or b) stick a movie on! I know you can leave it on overnight, but when washing it out last night, after just an hour, it was rock solid and quite heavy!!!!

Anyway, I'm happy with the colour and will defiantly be doing it again soon!!!

Had a driving lesson today, was a scary one! I started doing hill starts, up and down, ahhh how I panicked!!!! I WILL GET THERE IN THE END THOUGH!!!!!!!

I'm super excited about the next week, my Aunt has booked us in for a spa day next Wednesday, I have picked my treatments and I'm super excited! Keep looking at the pictures of the place and getting all hyper!!!! On Saturday there is a party in Traflagar Square in honour of the Dutch day which celebrates the Queen's birthday, in The Netherlands it's called "Koninginnedag". I'm ready to get some good (goed, in Dutch!) food and wear some orange again!! (I have already painted my toenails orange!!!!!!!!) Then on Sunday I'm off to see my Grandparents for the day, I make the trip once a month, and I love doing it! Even more so now they are my only Grandparents (insert sad face!).

Don't have alot planned for tomorrow, just off to buy myself a bikini, which I'm dreading! I hate my body as it is, but with only a week before I have to fling on a bikini for the first time this year, got to watch what I eat etc, and get some serious toning in (or attempt to!!!)

Well for now I have rambled enough!!! 'til tomorrow...or the next time...doei!! (dutch for bye!!!) XxXxX

Long time no blog!

It's been a LONG time since I last blogged, having looked it posted my last blog back in August! FAR too long ago! alot has changed in the time I have been away from blogging!

I made my last YouTube video in December, although at the time I didn't intend for it to be my last video, so much has changed in my personal life I don't feel I have the motivation to make them at the moment.

So what happened? February 3rd rolled around and it was the 1st year anniversary of my Grandma's death, it was a tough day as I wasn't able to be with my family. I did however speak to them on the phone, including my Grandpa. Which now i'm so thankful I did, as he died 9 days later having been in hospital for a week. This hit my family hard, particually my Mum, who has now lost both her parents in just over a year.

As a result I have been traveling between London and home every few weeks, to help out and also because I'm finding being away from home tough at this time. With all of this in mind, I can't find any real reason to continue with my youtube videos at the moment!

I do however, plan to write more blogs, i'm yet to decide if I want to keep it strictly makeup, branch out into a bit more fashion or just randomly blog. I may just go with the flow and blog about whatever takes my fancy!

Until next time, stay safe and healthy!
