Recent Favourites

i feel like i haven't done a 'favourites' post for ages, partly because i haven't been blogging but also because i haven't really been using new things. I don't tend to use new things i just stick to things i know work for me, but these are a few things that i have really been enjoying lately.

 scrub of your life and thick and fast mascara

the scrub of your life is probably one of my favourite scrubs ever, i love the smell and i love how my skin feels after i've used it. I've got so many little travel versions of this and i have been using them almost none stop over the last couple of days.

the thick and fast mascara was a new one that i hadn't ever used before and now i love it, it makes my eyelashes look so long!

 Toni and Guy Moisturising Shine Spray

I got this so i could do my hair for prom and i've been loving it ever since. I use it after i've curled my hair mainly and it's the perfect little finishing touch.

 Toni and Guy Salt Spray

I have used this before and i've never fallen out of love with it. I've used it for a few years now and it makes hair styling so much easier! Especially if i get up late and haven't got time to curl or straighten my hair.

 Pretty Little Liars

There was so much hype about this and i must have put it off for at least a year, but i decided, because i've finished my GCSE's and have 10 weeks off where i will be lying in bed and eating chocolate  i should start a new television series and i am now obsessed.

Boohoo

I've been loving boohoo recently, it's a little bit like an online primark to me and i could probably spend thousands of pounds (that i don't have) on that website and the sizes are like real sizes and don't say size 8 when they mean size 2.

what have you been liking lately?

Lush: Ro's Argan Body Conditioner Review.

This is the Lush Body Conditioner that came with my Rose Gift Box... I used this in the shower this morning,it sort of works like a hair conditioner only its... for your body haha (duh)

It makes my skin feel quite soft and it smells AMAZING, The smell doesn't stay on you for too long but I suppose it depends what you're doing in the day. I have only used it a couple of times, so it might make your skin softer than the softest thing ever but I don't know yet. But I do really like it and I do think it's worth buying. You don't really get too much in it though and its not the cheapest thing in Lush I know that the big tub is £16 so I think the smaller one would be about £7/8 and you might not think it's worth the money...I do really like it though and would recommend it :)

my life lately in snapshots

 1. i decided to treat myself to a few lush bath bombs as i feel like i haven't really had a 'me' night since my exams started so i think a lush bath is definitely in order.

2. my prom is next week and i'm really excited and seen as all my friends are getting fake tans i wanted to too (this was a perfect excuse to ask my mum for some more st tropez)

3. i'm honestly living in white jeans and the moment and these were the newest ones that i bought from boohoo, £1.99 next day delivery? yes please

4. pizza hut. is my life. i would happily spend the rest of my life there and this pizza looked way to good to not picture

5. i love popcorn, all popcorn. but this bag of popcorn was probably the prettiest bag i have ever had so i couldn't resist showing you. (why is it that food is always prettier than me)

6. i got a new necklace on depop, it's a little fairy sitting on the moon and it reminded me a little bit of disney

7. more lush things. this is actually one of the bath bombs i bought from the earlier photo but i felt this one deserved it's own photo because this one is probably one of my favourites -space girl

8. again, another example of food being more attractive than me. mcdonalds isn't the usual place to take a photo of your food but it looked too good not to!

this 'snapshot' idea is not my idea i have taken it from milkbubbletea

sorry that i haven't posted for ages (literally months) i've been so busy with my gcse's that my blog and most other things had to take a back seat for a little bit.

mini pamper evening

today i have been quite 'active' so for someone who normally only gets out of bed to get food I feel like I need a little bit of chill time, but unfortunatly i've run out of lush bath bombs and i cannot have a 'complete' pamper evening without a bath bomb from lush in my bath so tonight i thought i would just have a mini pamper evening. 

 a mini pamper evening normally consists of painting my nails and putting a face mask on and then chilling with a hot chocolate and something nice to eat.

 the 'fab pore' soap and glory face mask is one of my faves and leaves my skin feeling really soft and fresh. it smells super nice too and you don't need very much of it for it to cover your face.

 this is my all time favourite nail polish, it's called 'fiji' by essie and i've used it for about 2 years now. it's a very light pastel pink and it's amazing and well worth the £8, it dries really quick and you only need a couple of coats of it.

 and of course, to top it all off, a doughnut from Krispy Kreme and a hot chocolate i think i need to start eating healthier. It's so hard to not get one of these when you pass the little counter of them in tesco, they look so appetising so I picked one up the other day and hadn't really gotten round to eating it but i felt like after a day of walking up hills and around castles i really deserved it haha sure.

do you have any 'mini' pamper evening faves?

polagram: £5 free!

recently i ordered a few pictures from polagram, which is an app that prints photos off from your phone and turns them into little polaroid pictures for you. i thought this was so so cute and when they arrived i was over the moon they're just like polaroid pictures.

 they came in this cute little envelope which i'm going to find hard to throw away because when it comes to me and cute things i get really attached

 they photos are like normal polaroid photos (if you've ever had a polaroid camera you will know what i mean) and theres space on the bottom to write a little caption if you want or you can do it on the app. i didn't put any captions on but i know some people who have and the captions looks really nice too.

they cost £0.29 each (which i think is really good). if you want £5 worth of free prints click here and download the app. Then choose the pictures you want and put in this code

and theres no 'you have to pay before you can use the code' it's literally £5 free when you sign up!

have fun printing off your polaroids!

Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake Recipe

ok literally stop what you are doing right now and get your apron on because you have gottt to try this lemon drizzle recipe. This is by far my favourite lemon drizzle and its so quick and easy to make. I found this recipe on the internet a really long time ago and i have been using it ever since. Heres how i made this and what you will need:

170g of self rasing flour

170g of caster sugar

170g of butter

1tsp of baking powder

3 eggs

2 lemons (zest and juice)

110 of icing sugar 

mix the butter, caster sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and lemon zest together in a big bowl until it looks like normal cake mixture. pour this mixture into a greased loaf tin (mines from tesco and i'm slightly in love with it) then put into a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius, bake it for 30-40 minutes. while it's baking juice the lemons and mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice. You could probably use lemon juice from the shop already squeezed but i normally use the lemons that i got the zest from (make sure to sieve the squeezed lemon juice though!)

when the loaf comes out of the oven get a knife (or a professional little skewer that i do not have) and make holes all over the cake, once you've done that get the lemon 'drizzle' mix and pour it all over the top. Then you're done! you can eat it straight away or wait a little bit until it's cooled down. it's seriously so nice i could eat it all day...in fact i have been

hope you enjoy it!
