There's a Dupe For That..

I have been doing a lot of dupe tweets lately after all who doesn't love a good dupe!? Similar products to the high end brands but at a third of the cost! I have decided to share with you via blog post some of the dupes I own.

Mini Book Haul

Working in a library where I can borrow books for free means that it's not often that I find myself buying books these days. The other day I treated myself to a couple of titles that I have had my eye on for a while so I thought I would share these with you.

Wallflowers - Eliza Robertson £8.99

'A small boy and his grandmother set sail for China in the mud of her back yard; a supermarket car park becomes a graveyard of strewn blueberries; migratory birds fly over a marshland ringing with the sound of wooden spoons on kitchen pots; and the breaking of a silence between two roommates leads to disquieting revelations.

Where Have I Been?

Things have been absolutely manic as of late with a lot of personal issues cropping up that have just left me feeling drained, down and frankly not wanting to do anything at all.

Amidst this drama I have visited Aberystwyth for a week! (Hence the artsy photos above.)
Why you may ask? I agreed with my work that I would complete a distance learning degree. It has been a long time coming but I have finally completed the first week of the study school.

Zoella Beauty: Sweet Inspirations. Worth the Hype?

I finally caved into the Zoella beauty hype! The previous Zoella beauty releases have not grabbed me I just did not see the hype sure the ranges smelled nice but there were cheaper options around. Then the Sweet Inspirations range dropped and I knew I had to try it!

Belated May Favourites

A rather belated May favourites here. I would like to say it's because I have been busy but honestly I haven't had any motivation to write. As blogging is something I enjoy I did not want to force myself into writing blogs when I just have not felt like it.

On with the post! Here are my favourite things from the month of May. Mostly make-up - I have definitely had a bit of a splurge.

Album Review: In Our Bones - Against the Current

Lifestyle: The Benefits of Drinking Water

                   

It's recommended that you should drink 8 glasses of water a day. I know eight glasses seems an incredibly hard thing to achieve - yet I can go through 4 cups of tea in a few hours easily.

I set myself a challenge to up my intake of water for a week and see if I have any benefits from it.

I'm not a big drinker in general I don't often feel thirsty and that must mean I'm hydrated right?

Apparently not the main benefits I found from having at least 4 glasses (I couldn't manage 8) of water a day:

New York: Times Square

My final New York post - this means I'm going to have to accept that the holiday is over. Even though it technically has been for months 'inserts sad face emoji' 

This blog is all dedicated to Times Square. Of course when you go to New York this is one of the first sites you will go see.

Urban Decay Summer Collection

I recently picked up two items from the Urban Decay Summer collection these are the 'Naked Skin One & Done Hybrid Complexion Perfector' and the 'Afterglow Highlighter' in the shade 'Aura'.
