Sunday QOTD

Hellooo, I feel I have been slack with these quotes lately so I'm back to give you a little quote this Sunday evening...

I think this quote is so true in life, as you shouldn't have to chase people be it friends, family, or in relationships. If you feel like you are the one always making the effort, then something isn't right. It should be natural and people will choose to stay in your life if they want to. I feel I need to take this quote on board myself as I too can be guilty of trying to keep past relationships alight when they are well and truly gone and I should just move on with my life. Life is too short and you should surround yourself with all your true friends and family and if that ponytail ain't working. Just leave it. 

Hope you liked this post! Now I'm off for a quiz and a curry woo (love Sunday nights)

6 reasons why I love Halloween

eeeek I love Halloween, its one of my favourite celebrations so I just had to write a post about it, even if it is two weeks away! We are also hosting a Halloween Pres at our Uni flat on the night so this will sure get me in the mood.

1. Fancy Dress
I absolutely love dressing up and I am one of those people who likes to go all or out and be creative with what I have, rather than spending a fortune on a ridiculous costume. I think its all about the little touches. Normally I like to go scaryish with my costume but this year I am being a tiger(bit random). I just love doing exciting makeup so with this I get to attempt tiger face paint and go a bit zoo project-esque on the body. I also have black contacts from last year. I may do a post on my outfit and face so you can see how it turned out!

 How cool is this skeleton face paint!

2.Pumpkins. 
I love the smell, the childhood memories they bring back, scraping the pumpkin seeds out of the bottom (is this weird?) Each year I get so excited to buy one and come up with a creative design to carve out and doing it with a group of your friends is always great fun.

3. Horror movies. 
Name any horror film and I have probably seen it, Psycho, Halloween, The Conjuring, I am a horror movie kind of girl especially around this time of year. Surprisingly it is one of my fave film genres, I dunno what it is about being scared so much that I like, I think it is the adrenaline high! I'm desperate to watch the newly released 'Annabelle' at the cinema, will have to drag one of my friends to come watch it with me. 

Has anyone seen this film? let me know

4.  Autumnal weather. 
The weather has definitely changed recently, there is a nip in the air and I like the fashion that comes with it. Autumn introduces layering and wrapping up and most importantly scarves, loads of scarves, especially tartan! I am obsessed with that pattern.

5. Candy. 
I'm not American no, but I feel candy sums up the category of sweets and chocolate pretty well and if like me, as a child you went trick or treating annually then you will remember the endless amounts of sweets and chocolate that comes with Halloween. So now technically an adult and too old to go trick or treating (cry) I will have to stock up on lots of candy all for myself just cause its Halloween.

6. Parties. 
Who doesn't love a Halloween party!? Alcohol, face paint and all my uni mates together, it couldn't get better. Having it at ours also means we have an excuse to decorate the flat all Halloween themed, better get shopping...

This is the goal

Leather and fur

Helooo, two things I love and have recently bought: leather and fur, one being a bag and one being a collar. Okay so technically the bag is not leather and not real (I wish) but I think its a great dupe for the celine 'smile' bag.

So I’ve been hunting for a black bag for a while now and normally would go to Zara as I love the bags in there but I looked and none of them were what I was looking for. So I came across a blog post and it happened to be about the perfect dupe for a celine bag from none other than amazon! If you are not familiar with celine bags they are literally bag heaven, but with the hefty price tag and me being a poor student are only something I can lust at from my computer screen, but the bag from amazon was only £20! This being within my price range and with excellent reviews I thought I would buy it and I am so glad I did! Its great quality and the right size so that I can use it for Uni and it really is so similar in style to the celine. wooo

I also bought this fur collar, I love fur in the winter I think it adds something to a jacket or coat and seen as though I lost my fur collar for my leather jacket I thought I would invest in one which I can wear with my leather jacket but also my black winter coat.. fab times! From new look at around £10 it is so soft and warm and I just want to wear it with everything haha

I hope you liked this post!

SUNDAY QOTD-back to reality

Another week has gone by and after a week of non-stop going out(this needs to stop) I am all snuggled up in my Uni bed with my fairy lights on ready for some sleep! I'm quite sad as I feel tomorrow is truly back to reality with a full week of lectures and actually having to think about my future(nooo)I have had such a fun two weeks not having to think about anything, with the hardest decision being what I was going to cook that evening. I wish Uni only consisted of going out all the time and having fun, but that's life and a detox is definitely in order. I'll let you know how it goes next week.. I am deffo still a fresher at heart and do not want to accept I am a third year. So its not a quote this week, I just liked this picture and it really sums up how I am feeling 

I feel this is a bit of a depressing post as I do have lots of fun things to look forward to aswell, like for one thing 21st's, everyone is turning the big 2 1 this year and who doesn't love an excuse to dress up all fancy. I have one coming up in a few weeks however this one is fancy dress and I am going as a troll doll..pictures will be posted.

MY FAVE FAKE TAN

Hellooo, its been a while! It seems Uni has already taken over my life and going out all the time has really put a pause on the blogging! But I'm back and after all my nights out it has led me to find the most perfect fake tan!

I am an avid tanner and I live by the quote 'Life is better with a tan'. it just is. Now we have moved into autumn this is something I definitely had to invest in. I have tried many fake tans over the years and none compare to this one: XEN TAN absolute dark luxe. Don't be scared by the ultra dark label as it comes out a gorgeous olivey brown and definitely not orange like some other products. It is really easy to apply I use a tanning mitt, put it on the night before and and the next morning you just wash it off in the shower and you are left with a streak free 'just come back from holiday' tan. The price tag is pretty hefty but I bought mine from feel unique for £24.99, so less expensive than boots which sells it for nearly £10 more! It also lasts a really long time about 5 days and fades evenly. If anyone is looking for a really good fake tan than go try this I promise its good :)
