Personal.

Ok so I have been a little outnof touch this month for many reasons including work and personal life.

The reason that this post is called personal as I thought I should give you guys some insight as to why I haven't been blogging (yes I know it seems to happen more often than not and I can only apologise about my lack of interesting life).

This month has seen a family loss. Of course it is not the first I have suffered through, yet the first ones were when I was at an age that I never really understood. That is until December 2011. A major loss happened within my family and it has never been right since. The "layout" of my family was changed forever. It has taken me a long time to come to terms with some of the things that have happened over the last couple of years.

So last month another member of the family was lost (it sounds as though we just misplaced them when that phrase is used, but what else is there without sounding extremely morose?). Now it wasn't someone I was very close to, however, I did spend a lot of time with them throughout my childhood. So I was of course saddened by the loss, it was the first funeral I had attended since 2011 and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I suppose it is never easy to attend funerals without thinking about those previously lost to us.

I'm sorry that this is such a morose post this evening. I did feel the need to explain my absence, and of course you needed to kmow the truth, maybe not the full truth (family dramas are unnecessary).

I hope to start posting more again soon (even if it is just boring stuff)

London's Calling

So last week was my first trip to London :) For years I have been saying that I want to live there when I grew up, well after my trip I am definitely considering the move even more now!!

Of course I mainly did the touristy things whilst I was there for a couple of days as I had never really done any of them before. So of course I went to Madame Tussauds (I wasn't overly amazed by the place, however I can now say I have been!)

Yes I had to show this picture of me being a little like Wolverine ;) 

I also went on the London Eye (for the first and last time), it was lovely to do something I had never done before, but it was sooo busy, thus, I didn't take many photos whilst on it.

Weirdly enough my favourite part of doing the touristy things of London was the Sea Life Aquarium! I made a friend with a Shark ;)

Other things I did whilst visiting London was look round Harrods in which R and I purchased some chocolates :) And of course looking round the shops in Oxford Circus and having a browse round Covent Garden which ended in a Shake Shack (first ever experience and its definitely a good burger!) and trying my first ever Snog (yummy!!)

I will most definitely be returning to London and will be moving closer when I can! The Midlands just cannot compare to the sights of London! 

So I also had a trip to Baker Street (but I didn't have time to go see Sherlock) and I almost made it to Hogwarts!

Film Review

Ok so this is a slightly different post to normal as it is very rare I do a review of anything let alone a film...

However, I have decided that the only way to try and start doing daily posts or at least 3-4 a week will be if I review the things that I do of a weekend when I finally get some time with my partner.

So this weekend we decided to have a date night on Saturday which involved a meal and then going to the cinema. So we decided on Pizza Express as where I live is extremely small and does not have much choice for restaurants. I have to admit I tried one of the new pizzas that are under 500 calories and thought it was such a good idea as I did fancy some salad and these new ones have a hole in the middle of the pizza to fill with salad (super yummy!)

Now for the film of course I had to have my Channing Tatum fix so we went to see 22 Jump Street. Now both R and I had heard bad reviews about the film (thus the reason for doing a review). However, I have no complaints whatsoever, I haven't laughed so much during a film for a long while so I sincerely recommend a watch! If you liked 21 Jump Street then you will like the sequel even more (or at least I believe you will). It is of course a film for guys with action and the plot, but why shouldn't girls find the plot and action just as interesting?

I love Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum working together, they just seem to work so well together and both 21 and 22 Jump Street have worked well in my opinion. Although I do have a soft spot for Jonah Hill and any film he is in recently.

So girls have you been to see 22 Jump Street? And did you find it funny and "laugh out loud"? I certainly did :)

Cat Acquisition!

So I have had the new man in my life Lupin now for 10 days (yes Lupin is my kitten and he's so cute!!) When I first got him he was extremely shy and ran away as soon as he heard you I was calling him my little scaredy cat as he was running away from all his toys!

It all started with a pink shoe lace and that was it he has gone mad for all his toys, his favorite being Mr Duck who is now a casualty and missing both a leg and a wing! But he is obsessed with a pink plastic bag (yes I know a running theme here).

I believe that Lupin likes to sleep all day and party all night as he wakes up at about 9pm and has a mad fit of running all over the place and playing with his toys (and getting tangled up in them! :) so cute!).

My instagram has definitely started to fill up with pictures of Lupin but that's because he makes me laugh and he has definitely improved my mood since he came in to my life :) That's all I am going to say about him for now but if you want to know anymore then comment on here or ask me on twitter or instagram! But here are some more pictures of Lupin being cute...

Hello, this is your 5am wake up call!

I like to sit in the most weird positions...

I just want to go and chase the birds though...

I look so cute when I sleep

I like to sleep all day and party all night...

Who said this wasn't comfy?

I want to jump on this #selfie bandwagon!

Shoe Obsession!

So I seem to be buying a lot of new shoes lately and I keep looking at more! It's getting quite out of hand however I think my feet appreciate them!

First up I bought a nude pair of flats from Topshop with a cutout pattern, I fell in love with them because they stray from my usual black. However, they do also come in black and blue :)

You can find them here. They cost £28 and are super comfy! 

My second pair of shoes recently are my new jelly shoes (definitely had to jump on this trend, I absolutely loved mine as a child and I remember wearing out my pair).

They are like a purpley colour to me so of course I fell in love! This exact pair are in New Look for £9.99!

What shoe trends are you loving at the moment?

Travel Wishlist Part 3 | Las Vegas

Hi again, I apologise for my lack of posts this month, I have been extremely busy helping friends find their wedding dresses (such an exciting thing to do and I cannot wait until I can start looking for mine!) I have also been working a lot and I have been too tired to write anything, however I have decided that from now on I shall write a few posts in advance ready to post for you guys :) That way I am not always running behind!

Back to what I have come here to write!

My next installment to my travel wishlist is another part to the wishes for my honeymoon! VEGAS BABY!! Now I know that Vegas can sometimes seem a little cliche, however, I have always thought it would be interesting and after my friend went for her 21st I have been dying to go! Her pictures just made it seem so amazing and she said it was one of the best places she has ever visited!

Now I realise I don't know much about Las Vegas but that doesn't matter to me and yes I know it's not exactly the same as in the films, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be so much fun while you were there!

Ok so now you know the places I'm planning for my honeymoon I can give you some ideas of the ways I would love for it to happen! My plan is to start out in Orlando, Florida enjoying the parks and generally having an awesome time (I mean who wouldn't in Orlando?!) I would like us to be able to stay for maybe 10 days and then to travel from there to Vegas and spent 2-3 nights there :) and then finishing off with maybe 4-5 days in New York!

So these are my plans for honeymoon (however there are so many more places in America that I would like to travel! so stay tuned...) x

All images were found via the google search for Vegas.

Pastel Dreaming

So this is my first beauty related post in a while :)

Its's been a while since I last used nail varnish (it feels pointless doing my nails when I know they will just get chipped in work)

I decided to treat myself this week and bought two new varnishes :) One from Rita Ora's collection and another from Superdrugs range MUA Cosmetics.

I decided to do one accent nail in the MUA Cosmetics colour Pistachio Ice Cream, I immediately fell in love with this colour when I saw it on the stand, as I have been having a slight love affair with mint green recently. The rest of my nails are in Rimmel by Rita Ora Pillow Talk. Again I love the colour and I have been buying quite a lot in the pastel blue (refer to previous post of my impulse buys last month).

Tell me the colour trends you are loving this season...
