WE'RE GOING TRAVELLING!


I’ve been soooo excited to write this blog post for a couple of months now. I’m actually dying a tiny bit because I’m fiiiinally going to be going on a trip that I’ve been dreaming of going on for years! Chris and I are going to be setting off to explore Europe this summer. And we’ve bought our outward flights! We’ve spent quite a bit of time organising things so far. All the boring number-crunching, hotel-finding and, for me, conducting all-important ‘what food are we gonna eat while we’re away?’ research. Wanna see where we’re off to?

A LITTLE ROSE GOLD HOMEWARE HAUL


It’s a momentous…moment. I’d like to thank not only my parents, but also Jesus. Finally, after 5 long years of blogging, I can finally say that I’m a fully-fledged blogger because…I OWN ROSE GOLD KITCHENWARE. I’ve been lusting after a new kettle since Chris and I moved into our flat in Blackheath, because our Morphy Richards kettle broke during the move. We were having to precariously balance the sugar caddy on the lever, which made making teas and coffees a bit of a ball ache. 

It was a case of balancing the caddy, wandering off to go to the loo, and then dashing back to the kitchen, pants still down, after hearing the boiling water splashing all over the counter. Chris, being a complete and utter MAN, said that “we didn’t need a new kettle because ours still worked fine”. Well, I say that he’s a cretin, and I deserved a new kettle…and some bits to go with it…

OUT FOR LUNCH | OUTFIT OF THE DAY


Incredibly, I managed to put an *actaul* outfit together last weekend. I headed out for a stroll around Blackheath, an obscenely gorgeous lunch at Café Rouge and a trip to Wilko for a little homeware shop. You may have seen a few pictures of said outfit popping up on Instagram (probably more than a few, soz) (I was feeling myself) and I wanted to share the outfit details with you!

MAKEUP OF THE DAY + LUNCH @ CAFÉ ROUGE


Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my ‘weekend’; they’re the days I get off from university and work, and therefore the days that I can get my face on, swank about going for lunch and pretend I’m not hideously poor and moody. If you ever catch me *NOT* on a Tues or Wed, chances are, you probably won’t recognise me because I’m hobbling about wrapped in a duvet, semi-comatose and on my way (under extreme duress) to slave away at school or work. So, when I do pull my finger out and feel a bit fierce, a blog post is definitely in order. It’s a bit of an eclectic post today, but here are my makeup details and a fillet steak from Café Rouge to wet ya appetite…

CURRENT BASE-PRODUCT MUST HAVES


Spring is in the aaaaaair! It’s making me feel like I want to wear makeup more often, and I’m feeling like I can finally be bothered. Over the winter months I literally cannot be arsed. I am scruffy. I am the lowest-of-the-low maintenance. Sometimes people try to give me their spare change on the street. So with the warmer weather, I’m enjoying pulling out old favourites and I’ve found the purrrfect combination of base products for Spring!

SALMON + BROCCOLI PENNE IN SKINNY TOMATO SAUCE


It’s that time of year again…the beautiful “oooOOOMFGSUMMERISAROUNDTHECORNERANDIFEELDISGUSTINGANDBLOATED” feeling has really got me these last couple of weeks. Chris and I have a fat old summer trip planned (blog post to come!) and I’m conscious of the short time we have to get sexy before we leave. 

I performed the annual, heartbreaking ceremony of trying on last summer’s shorts last week. And let me tell you, the sight of me jumping around my bedroom trying to squeeze into them was UNATTRACTIVE. This led to me performing the annual and equally heartbreaking ceremony of furiously googling low-fat-low-calorie-low-satisfaction recipes. I found a couple of good ones, but I ended up sort of creating my own recipe that tastes really good and seems to be hella healthy.

A MORNING IN MY LIFE | 3RD YEAR UNIVERSITY


Third year university has been an absolute breeze; first I hope out of bed at 6am and jump into the shower. I’ll make myself and Chris a coffee and apply my makeup while the cup cools down. I’ll swan about in the kitchen making a full English breakfast with fruit, yogurts, freshly squeezed juice and read the newspaper while I nibble at it. I’ll style my hair, select an amazing outfit that looks like it has fallen out of the pages of Vogue, and sashay out of the flat ten minutes early.

LOL jk…

HOW I CLEARED MY SPOTS IN ONE WEEK


Gather round, friends. I have managed to clear my skin in one week! I’ve managed this without changing my diet and without adding 99 new steps into my skincare routine. I simply tested out the sk:n Facial Exfoliating Cleanser and sk:n Anti Blemish Control Serum by the clever people at sk:n Clinics. And lo and behold, I’ve got pretty smooth, spot-free and even-toned skin in a week! If you’re interested in how I found the week, read on…
