Pre Pay Day Lust ♥

Afternoon! :)

I clearly haven't done a proper shopping trip in a while- my wardrobe is full of summery clothes, with a couple of jumpers bought here and there for my days off. Over the past few days, I have had a nosey online, which is something I have avoided for the past couple of months purely as I had no money and it was only temptation. However, two things have happened.

1. Its got colder, especially when I am up ridiculously early for...
2. My new job = fab pay days!

I am determined to get a good lot of my student debts paid off asap, which hopefully should be done in roughly 6 months since my dad hasn't mentioned rent... yet...

So yeah, I am allowing myself to make lust lists again, and I have already picked the first 3 items that I am going to purchase at the end of the month...



ASOS Curve Exclusive Pussybow Shirt- £35




ASOS Curve Skater Dress in Dragonfly Print- £22

Topshop MIGHTY Black Leather Zip Boots- £45

 

 

What are you looking forward to buying at your next pay day?

 

 

Curly Wurly ♥

 

Hiya! :)

How are you all?! I was going to write this yesterday but I was so tired after this three day horrendous training course I am on for my new job. Literally horrific. It was three days of sitting listening and death by powerpoint for 8 hours each day. Erghhhh! SO glad its over.

Anyway, I wanted to share a product with you that I am loving! AND its a right bargain.

I was out shopping last week with my mumma and granny, and nipped into Bodycare for a few bits. I dont know if everywhere has a Bodycare, but its like a nice beauty shop like Superdrug but even cheaper. Get some right bargains in there, like this product. My mum told me to get it, as it was so cheap and she had heard good reviews about it. The name of the product is 'Twisted Sista: 30 second curl spray' by a company named [Urban therapy]. I haven't heard of them before, but thought for 99p, I cant go wrong really. I have really curly hair naturally, that I like nice and bouncy but cant always achieve this, so always on the look out for good products to achieve this.

Urban therapy describe the product as:

For naturally curly hair or to revitalise permed or afro hair to give amazing ringlets in no time at all. Pop curl spray in your bag and revitalise your hair throughout the day.  

To apply, I literally just towel dried my hair a bit, squirted my hair a couple of times with it then blow dried my hair. Results below...

 

Before

 

I will say this- the product is amazing! My hair was soft and bouncy, unlike when I use mousse to hold the curls in place. Doesnt leave my hair dry or a with a layer of frizz that cant be shifted. For 99p, this stuff is amazing!* Will deffo be using this again.

 

 

What haircare products do you use? Any bargains?!

*after looking at a few online stores or websites such as Tesco and Superdrug, the price does vary on the product depending on where you go. Cheapest place is Body Care OR Superdrug at the moment as its on offer for 99p, usually £1.99

So What, I'm a Rockstar... OOTD

Helloooooo :) greetings from a cold North East!

So, thought I would share a couple of items of clothing I bought recently. I have seen from a range of media and from in stores that p/leather is still in. I am not usually a fan of this, I always think I would look ridiculous in it being a large blob. However, I saw a skirt in Look magazine that was pleather, a dark grey/silver and pleated... I fell in love.

... It does make me feel a little like a rock star...

I have teamed it with thick woolie tights from Primark and both with a tshirt when inside and a new jumper of Inspire range from New Look, so cosy and warm. Love the colour of it too :) This is showing you avec jumper...

Oh, and excuse the awfully decorated room... Still waiting to get it decorated...

Its been a while...

Hey guys :)

Quite a bit has happened the past few months, which has taken priority over everything else, so sorry I've not been around. I have hardly been online on an actual laptop, and haven't had any money really to buy new clothes etc. So, thought I would fill you in on my life from the past few months...

I have now finished uni however, so I am now officially a registered nurse (learning disability)! I had a few problems towards the end of my course, which is my own fault as I felt too embarrassed to ask for help. Stupid, I know, but after a meeting with my mentors and personal supervisor from uni, I pulled it around and able to complete my course. So one of the things I did learn from uni was to ask for help. No one sees it as a weakness or that you are stupid, and dont judge you for it. I learned the hard way by struggling for a year, but you know what? I am glad I asked for help :)

I have also moved back home to Stockton on Tees from York, which has been really nice, but a lot of my friends are either still at uni or have moved away or still in York, so I am a little bit of a billy no mates at the moment! When I started uni, I kept saying I wasn't going to move home, that I was going to move to somewhere amazing etc, but I realised towards the end of my second year that I wanted to come home. I missed not being right close with my friends and family, even though York is only an hour away. Home is where the heart is, after all :) So for now, I am back with my lovely papa whilst I pay off some of my student debts and save for my own place. As much as I love being with my papa, I have lived on my own for the past 3 years, and miss having a lovely double bed!

I have been VERY lucky in today's climate and got myself a job straight away after finishing university. I did have to wait for roughly 3 weeks after finishing uni (which was VERY boring) for my CRB paperwork to come through, but about 2 weeks ago, I got a phone call from my new job saying I could start on the Thursday! My job is at a medium secure hospital about 10-15 minutes away from home, and I have loved it so far. I work longgggg days, which work out inc. break as a 12.25 hour shifts, but I get an hour break so its not too bad, and I only work 3/4 days a week which is a full time wage, so can't complain! The team are fantastic that work there, and learning from my mistakes at university, I am asking plenty of questions already :)

So, as you can see, I have had a busy few months! I have either been bought or I have bought a couple of items of clothing, which I have some pictures of and will blog over the next week. I have a day off on Tuesday, so should (hopefully!) be able to blog then :)

So, what else has everyone been up to? I want to hear allllll the goss!

Possibly The World's Worst Blogger...

My oh my! I seem to have gained a few followers even though I havent blogged in FOREVER. I must apologise, as I do feel so very bad about not blogging and you lovely followers following me with no reading material. My life for the past few months have been a bit crazy. Had a few issues with my uni work (CANNOT WAIT FOR SEPTEMBER TO LEAVE THANK THE LAWD) but hopefully it should be sorted now (or it will be by end of August). Im slowly getting my life back in order, looking forward to the future where I will (hopefully!) have a staff nurse job.

Anywho...

As most of you will have seen/been to/written about, this post is about PLUS NORTH <3. I would just like to start by thanking Becky and Toni. The event was a HUGE success and loved every second of it. I got to meet some old faces and new faces which was just brilliant, got to watch some very brave and beautiful girls catwalking some fabulous clothes, and most importantly, I ate ALOT OF CAKE. Who ever made them, well... I need their number, they can cook for me all the time.

So, here is what I wore to the event, picture taken by my babe of a friend, Steph:

Dress- F&F @ Tesco, Leggings- New Look, Wedges- New Look, Bag- Mulberry

The building was just spectacular, done out in such pretty colours! Now, I made a bit of a blogger booboo. I didn't charge my camera the night before, huge FAIL. So, my pics are all of the Iphone, or may have nicked them off Steph's Iphone like ^ one. So, instead of boring you with what you will probably have already heard from other bloggers, here is a few snaps I took. There isn't many, I apologise!

Steph looking beautiful as always ;)

 So yes, an amazing afternoon with some fabulous ladies (you know who you are ;)), cake, drinks and fashion- what more could a girl want!

xoxoxo

P.S- I would like to thank all of the sponsor's that came to the event- you were all lovely and glad to have met you :)

Fight for Finn

Hiya guys, I know I have been MIA again but its dissertation hand in time so Im trying to get it sorted ASAP, will be back Monday though!

I was just wanting to ask you all a huuuuuuge favour. My friend Heather, her 15 month old cousin Finn needs an Auditory Brain Stem Implant. He cannot hear a thing, and his parents really want him to hear as they feel he will miss out on a lot in life.

Please could you take a look at the website link, and if possible, donate a couple of pounds to help them on their way.

Would mean the world to them if you could, just think of it as not getting that extra drink at the pub :)

Thank you guys, you are wonderful xxxx
