My Sundayy!

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging?

Sooo how's your Sunday been?? Mine's been pretty relaxing tbh and because we didn't go to my nan's this Sunday I thought today should be a 'Me Day'. 

So my 'Me Day' started out by waking up at half 11, because why not, and having my breakfast of eggs, bacon and avocado on toast with a very very milky and sugary cup of tea :P

Then, because my dad was watching the football, I decided to go up to my room, light a candle and try to catch up with my Watch list on YouTube with not that much progress :/ Then we had roast pork for our Sunday lunch which was heeeeaaavvvveeennnnn!! and I went back upstairs to watch YouTube.

When it got to about 6 o'clock I started to run my bath. I decided to use my Bubbleroon 'Rose Jam' which gives you the best bubbles everr! whilst having my 'Magnaminty' face mask on because lately my face hasn't been in the best condition so I thought I'd use this to help my skin along :) Whilst I was in the bath, I used my new body scrub called 'You Snap The Whip' which smells awesome! It has charcoal and cocoa butter in as well as sweet-scented oils which is probably why it smells like blackcurrant but it is amazing like all you have to do is rub and because of the pumice that's it in, the scrub really gets to work at your skin leaving it suuuuper soft :)

After my bath, I removed my mask with a flannel (face towel) and used my new moisturiser which is called 'Enzymion' which basically helps restores the skins natural balance and giving it a matte appearance. Although it doesn't have the best smell in the world, it does have lemon, avocado and papaya in which is what makes the moisturiser soooo creamy and you hardly need any at all for your face.




Pretty Little Liars was also playing throughout the bath :D

Now as I'm writing this my brother and dad are watching the racing so I think I'll catch up with more YouTube or PLL I haven't decided yet ;) 

Ohhh also, I'll be putting my May Favourite up at some point soon when I have time so stick around for it :) In the comments let me know you're favourite Lush stuff that I should try :D

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.

Five Guys vs Handmade Burger Co.

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

Soooo I know I haven't been on here for quite a while and I'm suuuuuper sorry about that but hopefully now there won't be any hold backs!! haha <3

As you lot know, or if you don't, I like burgers. Alot. Like their probably my favourite food everrrr! So I went to 2 well known burger places; Five Guys and Handmade Burger Co and I thought I'd do a versus kind of thing to let you know which one I thought was better :D

I first went to Five Guys (by the way I didn't go to both places on the same day, I'm not that bad! haha ;) ) and had the cheeseburger with Jalapeños but because we didn't think we'd eat it all, we shared a large chips between us. When I went to Handmade Burger Co. I ordered a cheese and bacon burger with jalapeños and avocado and again we shared a large chips.



And I choose...





Five Guys.

The chips are waaaaayy better and there are over 15 toppings you can have for free whereas the toppings at Handmade are priced depending on what they are. But the burger was a lot meatier than the Five Guys 'pattie' which made me full even more, but the bun was sooo disappointing at Handmade and literally kept breaking apart so I had to do a KFJ :/ (knife and fork job).

Also, there was a larger drinks choice at Five Guys (I had a Coke Orange which was basically coke mixed with orange) whereas at Handmade I had a Dandelion and Burdock which was from a selection of about 10 drinks whereas at Five Guys I think there was over a 100 options!The prices were pretty similar as well.

So there you go my little review. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people out there that prefer Handmade and although I didn't enjoy it as much as Five Guys I wouldn't say I'd never go again.

If you want to see me do more reviews like this then please get in touch where you can recommend to me on my links below.

Thank you sooo much!

See you later guys.

Best Sunday in a while :D

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

Soo I think I've probably had one of the best Sundays I've had in quite a while and do you know why...because I hardly did anything! I know! You'd think I'd be bored of Sundays like the majority of people but for me they're my comfort day like I can eat what I want and sleep in til whatever time I want. I loooove it.

So I got up at about half 11 and quickly checked through Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and brushed my teeth and went to go and make my brunch ;) I had bacon, avocado and egg on toast which was bum :D


I then watched the ending of Sunday Brunch (which is kind of like the norm in our house on a Sunday morning) and then prepared the dough for the 'Brookies' I was going to make in the afternoon because the recipe said to leave it to chill in the fridge for 4 hours. (Credit to Lily Pebbles) 

I then watched some Football and tried to catch up with YouTube haha! Then we had our Sunday lunch which was amaaazing!!! :p (By the time I went to take a picture I'd already eat it! haha!)

Then I put the Brookies in the oven and they turned out pretty gooood :D Apparently the recipe said to make about 70 little ones but I couldn't be bothered to make that many so I made about 20 instead which meant that they were slightly bigger than Lily's but they tasted frickin' awesome, kind of like Devil's Food cake :)

Whilst the Brookies were cooling down I decided to clean my make-up brushes before I had my bath which didn't really take that much time at all so I carried on watching YouTube and went upstairs to pick my Lush stuff out for my bath :)

I decided to pick the Twilight bath bomb and I had my coffee and mocha face mask whilst catching up with my fav, PLL :D After my bath though I really felt like pampering myself plus I haven't done it in a while. I shaved and tanned :) I used my Rimmel London fake tan with my Body Shop Brazil nut scrub so now I smell fricking goooood if I may say so myself ;) Now I'm sitting in my Winnie the Pooh onesie about to demolish some Brookies whilst watching YouTube and maybe a film whilst painting my nails :)







So there you go. Doesn't seem like much but these are the kind of days I love considering I work Monday-Friday 8-4 and Saturdays are normally packed full of shopping and running errands. Tell me in the comments what you like to do on your Lazy Sundays :)

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.

Suds Sunday!!

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

Not gonna lie, I've been waiting for this part of the day alllll dayy. I was at my nans today and as soon as I got there I immediately wanted a bath, like I needed that comfort and PLL ;) 

Soooo I used my 'Brightside' bubble bar and oh...my...god. WOW! I actually think this might be my new favourite Lush bath product. I used to be obsessed with the 'Dragon's Egg' but only for the smell but Brightside actually creates bubbles and smells sooooo orangey and citrusey :D


Anddd because the bubble bar was citrusey I opted for the Tropical Cocktail Peel-Off Mask. It didn't peel off very easily so I used warm water and a flannel even though I left it on for 20 minutes but left my skin feeling soooo soft :3


Then I used my Dove Summer Glow. Mainly because I go on holiday in 10 weeks but because it smells good as well :)


Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.

April Favourites!!

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

No before I begin I just want to apologise because...I haven't got that many favourites :( Like literally I have 3...sorry.

Clothes

So when we went to Legoland, I really wanted some comfy clothes to get there and back and I follow Drop Dead clothing on Instagram and because they have a Gremlins collection out and if anyone knows me I loooooove the Gremlins so of course a purchase had to be made. When I went on the website there was an offer for if you spend £100 or over you get free next day delivery or if you spend £50 or over you get free standard delivery and it just so happened the things I wanted totalled £100 :D So I got the Gremlins hoodie and matching jogging bottoms and I'm not joking when I say I wear them all the time! The material is sooooo soft and comfortable and because the print is actually in the material rather than a transfer, the design stays a lot longer :) yayyy!!!



Make-up & Beauty

Soap and Glory body spray in Fruitigo is heaven! It's a fruity smell (obvs) but yet isn't as sweet as you'd think which is probably the reason why I've used up half the bottle. It doesn't really have a lasting smell so you'd have to top up a couple of times but I don't mind ;)



Fashion

Now if I'm honest I couldn't imagine myself putting these actual words together but...I loooove rings! haha! I wouldn't normally say this because I have sausage fingers and every ring I try on never fits even the large ones but thanks to the midi rings some of them actually fit!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!



That's all folks! :D Probably the shortest Monthly Favourites I've done and hopefully my May ones will be longer!

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.

Suds Sunday!!

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

So the time has come again for another Suds Sunday :) So...let's begin ;)




I really wanted a proper relaxing bath after the Merlot that I had yesterday has made today slightly unbearable so I'd heard good things about this bath bomb. But today's bath wasn't so good. For some reason the bath water wasn't as hot as I'd like it and the face mask I used was too big for my face :'(


P.S. I used the Dead Sea Mud Spa face mask.

During my bath I watched Pretty Little Liars as per usual :D And after the bath, I applied the Body Shop Peach body butter on me.


In the comments below, tell me what you're favourite body butter is :)

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.


P.S. Sorry about the last blog by the way on the section where it's white and you can't read the writing unless you highlight over it. If anyone knows how to fix this please help :)

Huuuuuggee Haul!

Hey Guys!

How's it hanging?

So I kind of went to Merry Hill (a shopping centre in Dudley near Birmingham) and kind of spent a lot of money but that obviously means that I reeeeally wanted to tell you what I got. I just want to say that these posts on hauls aren't to show off but are what I bought and you'd hopefully see something on here and want to try it out :) So here we goooooo!!

SUPERDRUG

So every time I go shopping the 2 shops I always go to are both Boots and Superdrug and because I'd bought Tanya's lashes in the 'Date Night', which are amazinggg by the way, I really wanted a more subtle look so I thought I'd buy these so I can add as many as I want. As my eyelashes aren't that long I'd probably use more of the 'long' ones but could apply all the 3 lengths if I wanted to :)



Now this purchase was mainly down to Estée Lalonde a.k.a Essie Button from YouTube. She went off on a tangent about this lip butter and thought 'I have to buy this' so...I did. Now I may have already opened this and have it on my lips as I write and it's very very creamy/moisturising but I'm not hugely amazed at the smell of it but I'm very happy with it as long as I don't smell it haha! :D


Now if you've been reading my blog posts for a while you'd know that every Sunday I'll have a bath and I'll write a blog post about what I used in my bath, what I watched in the bath etc. and most recently I've been putting a face mask on and so I thought I'd stock up and got 3 more masks:




HOTEL CHOCOLAT

Now if you know me I looooove chocolate and I just couldn't resist...at all...like seriously ;) I might just go demolish these right now...brb.



YANKEE CANDLE

As well as make-up, food, clothes and shoes, I also have a slight obsession with candles and when I found out that Yankee have done a collection called 'Cafe Culture I just had to. Omg. These smell insane!! Inspired by smells of the cafe life style so I bought 'Pain au Raisin', 'Tarte Tatin' and 'Cappuccino Truffle'. They smell quite sweet and actually smell like they say that there going to!!



NEW LOOK

As I live in England, it rains and the weather is pretty shit most of the time and I've only ever owned 1 umbrella ever that changed colour in the rain and I thought I was the dogs bollocks! haha! But I can't find it any more :'( So I thought I'd invest in one and found this beauty.I instantly fell in love with the leather-like handle and that colour! Wow! There was another one with a pink handle and cartoon fast food but I preferred this one which has the quote 'Rain drops keep falling on my head' and it's see through :)



I really wanted, actually no needed, some new socks because I tend to go through soooo many that I only really have white trainer socks left and because I was in New Look and they had this deal of 3 pairs of socks for £4 and I seriously couldn't resist the pug socks! Looookkkk!!!!! :3




LUSH

Obviously I need more bath products for my bath and what's the best place for that...Lush of course! I'd heard really good things about the 'Mask of Magnaminty' from YouTubers and as I tend to get pretty bad spots, especially when Aunt Irma comes along :( and I've tried quite a lot of products that say they help eliminate spots etc etc. but I thought I'd try it :D



As you probably know, if you read my 'Suds Sunday' posts, I do looove a good bit of bubbles and I purely bought this because it smelt pretty good and when she put the label on it, it said 'Bubbleroon' which means it gives you lots and lots of bubbles :D yay!!!! I also heard good things about the 'Immaculate Eggception' in Pink and it also smells sooo nice so again, why not ;P




BOOTS

Now time to go to the mother-land! I'm completely in loooove with Real Techniques brushes and I've had my eye on the Blush brush for some time now and I finally decided today was the day! Aaaanndd it's just my look because it was buy 1 get the 2nd half price and because I've already got the shading brush I got myself another one because you can never have enough eye shadow brushes especially when they are such gooood quality!!



I've never ever had a problem with Barry M, especially their nail varnishes,which are an absolute bargain by the way!! And I really needed a black nail varnish because the last one I had separated and no matter how much I shook it, it never went back to normal and because there was a deal of buy 1 get the 2nd half price and the 2nd one I got I saw out the corner of my eye :) The black one is called 'Black' and the pretty pink sparkly is called 'Atlantis' from the Aqua collection I think it's called...


Now this is a controversial product and I can't really have my say without actually buying it can I? ;) So here it is... Benefit's They're Real Mascara. I've had a look at the brush and it kind of reminds me of Collections' Volumising mascara which is a little bit fatter but fingers crossed it's as good as people say it is :D





Now, I don't really want to say this too early on in the relationship but I think I'm in love... <3 This lipstick is the one. If you've read a previous blog when I mentioned the other 2 colours I bought, 2 wasn't enough! I'm really into my warm pink colours lately and when I saw this in the shop, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I wouldn't buy it. 



P.S. Sorry about the blurry pic. It's number 830 called 'Rose'.

PRIMARK

So this top is probably controversial but I love it. I love the Kardashians and not afraid to admit is especially as this top is £2!!!!!


I've been looking for a nice boxy kind of bag and the design of the front reminded me of a Mulberry bag, especially the little clasp so obviously I needed it in my life. Plus it's black so it'll go with the majority of everything I wear!







TOPSHOP

An absolute steal from Topshop today! I saw this hat and didn't really take much notice until I saw the price and not even joking, I ran to the till to buy it. #noshame.




And that's all folks! ;) I hope you enjoyed my haul and if you want to any reviews of anything from my haul let me know in the comments :D

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.
