Birthday Meal :D

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

So today me and my family went to go and see my sister in Derby because she goes to university there and as it's her birthday on the 6th, we won't be able to see her because she's got work to do so we thought we'd treat her to a meal at Ed's Diner because we've always wanted to go but never had the chance...so why not now?! :)

So after shopping around til half 11, we decided to go and get something to eat because we knew it'd get busy around lunch time and luckily we managed to find a seat.




Now, to see whether or not I like Ed's Diner, I chose the 'Original' which has lettuce, tomato, onion, dill pickle and Ed's Diner sauce but had the 'Ed's plate' which has fries, coleslaw and onion rings as well and although it looked reeeeeeally nice, I was quite disappointed if I'm honest. The burger wasn't too bad but for the price I was disappointed and the fries weren't anything special and neither were the onion rings but the coleslaw was nice haha! :D


Also, the waiter forgot to put my dad's order in so we got a milkshake for free so we chose the Mint milkshake and oh my god...heaven :) if it was up to me, I'd probably have a bowl of coleslaw and the milkshake and I'd be a happy bunny :3 

So yeah :D my overall rating of Ed's Diner would be that it's slightly over priced for something average but I probably would go there again but order something different :)

Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.

Suds Sunday

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

So...another week has gone by and you know what time it is...SUDS SUNDAY!!! Woop! Woop! So here we go :D

So for Christmas my sister got some Lush products and she said that I could use them instead (shout out to her! :D) and so I used the 'Golden Wonder' bath bomb which smells very similar to the 'Dragon's Egg' and is shaped like a golden present. Oh and also, when I shook the bath bomb, it sounded like there was something in there but when I popped it in the bath and it finished fizzing, I couldn't find anything :( so in the comments would you be able to tell me what was supposed to be there. Thanks :)




Then, when I got out the shower, I used my nspsa 'Brightening Detox Scrub' and I think I got it from either Asda or Sainsburys but yeah... the beads in this scrub aren't harsh on my skin and sort of foams when you mix it with warm water and doesn't have a really strong smell.



Also whilst I was having a bath I was listening to Jamie T's old album Panic Prevention :)


And after that, I moisturised my skin with my Body Shop 'body butter' in Coconut but now I've finished that off :'( but it does mean I get to move onto my other ones!!! YAY!!! :D

Thank you sooo much!!

Valentines Shopping Haul.

Hey Guys!!

Happy Valentines Day!! 

So...how's it hanging, what's up? Anything new?? I know I know I haven't uploaded my January Favourites or my latest Suds Sunday but my Suds Sunday was the same as last time and I didn't really have any new favourites for January because I was using the same products as last time hahaa!! :D

Anyway, I hope your having an amazing Valentines Day and I personally think that everyone should be treated on Valentines Day whether you have a boyfriend or girlfriend or are single. So go on! Splurge out on those shoes! Buy more than 1 of your favourite lipstick! So that's what I did and I didn't hold back :') So get yourself a cup of tea or whatever you want to drink and let's get started! Oh...p.s. please excuse the rubbish nail job :/ I did it last night as my other nail varnish had completely chipped off so I slapped on Essie 'A-list' a standard staple of a bright cherry red <3

So let's begin...

TOPSHOP


Sorry for the angle :/


Anyway, I needed to go and get some new socks as the majority of my favourites had holes in and was causing me blisters so of course dinosaur socks are the way forward for me and because the offer was 3 pairs of socks for £8.50 I spotted (see what I did there! :D) these cute cow ones and well...they're just too cute to leave :)

Then because I had a £10 voucher for Topshop for Christmas I bought this dainty nail varnish in the colour 'Crack your Code' which is a baby coral with flecks of white bits in.




Then I went into Boots... (cue dramatic music) :'D

Firstly I bought a complete classic from the Essie section and that is 'Fiji'. A beautiful pale pink :)



Now...because there was an offer on buy 1 Maybelline product and get the 2nd half price, I couldn't say no :D So I purchased the Maybelline Colorsensational Elixir Lip in 'Caramel Infused' and for the 2nd product I got the Maybelline Falsies Mascara and I blame Tanya Burr! (You'll know if you watch her videos)









Now the last thing I bought from Boots I'd seen quite a few times but I sort of thought 'why would I need that when I've got similar products' but it was only when I opened it up in store and saw how matte they were when the ones I have have a slight shimmer too them. So I got it. Yes I'm talking about the Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit which includes a highlighter, a lighter bronzer and a darker bronzer and like I said earlier, they are all completely matte.




Then it was time for Superdrug...

Now I've been reeeeallllyyy wanting to try out bloggers and YouTubers Tanya BurrZoella and Ruth Crilly but could never find any of the products anywhere for about a month...until today!!!!

So, first on my mind was Ruth's dry hair shampoo. Her dry shampoo comes in 5 scents; New York, Paris, London, Tokyo and Rio and I decided to choose the Paris scent which is the florally one of them all but just in case I either didn't like the formula or the scent, I chose the mini version :)


Then it was time for Zoe's products. If I'm honest I was really only looking for her bath bar thing and I managed to get the last one!! Woop! Woop! Haha! :D But yeah, this is called the 'Fizz Bar' and basically looks like a white bar of chocolate and when you want a bath you can put as many pieces of the 'chocolate' in as you want. But just remember, you can't eat it!! But the smell is very refreshing sort of reminds me of 'Dragon Egg' from Lush. But the packaging is wayyy cuter :3


And last but by no means least, Miss Tanya Burr's cosmetics. Now I'm not normally a fan of lip gloss' mainly due to the fact that they've always been very sticky, too sweet smelling and just generally bad quality so I decided to pick a neutral colour to wear so that if I didn't like it, I wouldn't feel as guilty because there would be a similar colour in another brand, rather than having a beautiful colour and not enjoying the formula and not being able to find a dupe for it. Do you get me? Nope...okayyy :/ So yeah, I picked 'Picnic in the Park' again because she goes on about it sooo much she convinced me that I need it in my life and well...now I do :D







Now I'm quite a fan of eyelashes but every pair I've bought look too fake but on one of Tanya's vlogs I think it was either Niomi that was wearing them or Tanya and they looked amazing! So, I bought the 'Date Night' ones which I thought looked the most natural without being too natural if you get me :')




Then whilst I was browsing around I also found a new nail varnish from Model's Own and it's the Colour Chrome collection and I was really intrigued into what the pay off of the colour would be so I chose the shade 'Chrome Pink'.



As well as this nail varnish, I also spotted a new rail of Max Factor and immediately saw the blushes. Like. Oh...my...god. Beautiful. The colour of them reminds me of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes but obviously less expensive haha! They are the new Max Factor Creme Puff Blusher in the shade 'Lavish Mauve'.






And that's it. I hope you enjoyed my Valentines Day haul and you have an amazing day and tell me in the comments what you did on Valentines Day? :)

Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.

Suds Sunday :)

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging?? :)

So I was thinking if I could do a regular thing over here on my blog where I  do something like every week and as I do enjoy a good bath why not create 'Suds Sunday' :D

Now, if you're not familiar with the word 'suds', the word basically means like foamy bubbles like a sort of lather and when you're in the bath you obviously get lathered up so I thought it'd be a nice idea to tell you lot what I'm using every Sunday what I had for my bath :) p.s don't get it confused with 'Sugg Sunday' haha :))

So for my 'Suds Sunday', I used my Dragon's Egg from Lush:



Now this picture doesn't really do it justice but it's a white bath bomb with red and blue dots on it and as it hits the water a lemony scent bursts out and turns the water a burnt orange colour. Love it.

After I have a bath I make sure that I moisturise my skin, even though the bath bomb left my skin feeling suuuper soft I still wanted to lock in the remaining moisture so I used the Body Shop body butter in the scent Coconut which is amazing at leaving the skin soft whilst making me feel like I need a holiday like a.s.a.p. hahaha!!


P.S. my nail varnish in the picture is Barry M High Shine Gel in the colour 'Cardamon'.

So yeah, tell me in the comments below what you're favourite bath products are :)



Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.
