Being at the parents

It's been about 4 days since Ive been at my parents, on Friday I talked about me coming up to my parents while their employe is currently on holiday and I agreed since I wasn't really doing anything and I have no job as of yet in London. 

I've moved out of my parents almost two months ago, in that time I've been in my own little place and having a place where I could relax and do my own things in it without having people on my case about doing things, and I've also had my boyfriend around every single day in that period. 

Its weird how when I'm at home I miss being around my family and I can never wait to go see them again but once I'm here I can't wait to get back to my little place and spend time with the boyfriend, I wish I could have everything in one place by that I mean living in the same city makes it easier to be around everything I want but I guess it doesn't work that way. 

This last few days I've been working at the shop with my parents which has been crazy busy and the spare time I get I spend it either resting or catching up on tv and blogs post and its been quite hard keeping up with daily blogging in which I've decided to start all the daily blogging from April 1st, it'll make it easier to start from the beginning of the month.

Natural nails

Before wanting/having acrylic nails I would have long natural nails but with working and it always breaking I ended up giving up and just getting acrylic since they'll last longer and won't break as fast as my naturals but this time around it was time for a change.

After coming back from holiday in Madeira I wanted to grow my own nails naturally and stop getting them done, I especially didn't want to be every paying over £20 every 3-4 when I can have long natural nails for free. 

The first month was hard since they where so weak from the acrylics, what I did was cutting the nails short and failing them to shape them, I also added nail polish as I find it that it grows faster when I paint my nails and adding topcoats, I did this for 2 months. I didn't use anything specially on them it was just a natural process. 

It's been almost 3 months since I last wore acrylics and my nails are stronger than what they used to, I don't think I'll be getting acrylics for a very long time. 

What do you do to keep your natural nails healthy?

Going home...

Today's I'm off to my parents for the week as I don't have anything to do in London and in the middle  of looking for jobs I agreed to helping them out while one of their employe has gone on holiday, so I'll be helping and keeping busy until he comes back. 

I like going back to my parents it's nice to see them, I get a little home sick when I'm on my own and have nothing to do so it's nice to see them every other week, it's also nice to know I won't have to pay for food as I'll be getting all that at the parents. I feel like the train has become like a second home with the amount of times I've been on it in the past year and half is crazy and I've managed to actually like train journeys which 

The things I do for time to pass by on the trains is go on my phone and look up different blogs, go on the laptop write up a few posts ideas or sort out things that are on the laptop or listening to music and playing random games on the phone to keep me going.

What do you do to keep yourself busy while on train journeys?

The things I do when I'm at home

Being at home can get pretty boring if you have nothing to do, I've been at home quite a lot since moving mainly because I have no job yet, so I thought I would share some of the things I do to get by while I'm at home.

1. Tiding the Flat, if I was leaving at home with my parents I would be lazy and hardly do anything but since living in my own place I like to clean and tidy things, I tend to do the washing, cleaning and tidying the place up when I've run out of things to do or when I'm just at home with no plans.

2. Catching up with series is something I tend to do but then I hate at the same time since I watch everything when it comes out then the seasons ends and I'm left without anything to watch, I tend to watch my soaps too like Hollyoacks and occasionally Eastenders.

3. I tend to go online to find inspirations for the blog or there can be days where I want to try something to with makeup and Ill go online for tutorials.

4. When I get inspired I will write and schedule posts to save me time for when I have things going on that won't alloy me to posts on a pacific day.

5. I like cooking, I tend to see people making something or going online to get some recipes and try something new, I've cooked quite a lot since leaving home and I feel like I keep learning new things every time I do.

What do you do when you're home to keep you busy?

365 Days

On the 17th I made a challenge for this blog where I'll be posting everyday for a year, its hard coming up with a posts idea for every day, I recently went on Amazon and Ebay searching for blogging books to see if I can find inspirations, I also saw on Doing Life My Way talking about blogging book called 365 Blog Topic Ideas so I thought I'll purchase it and give it ago.

The book arrived today, I didn't know what to expect with this book and I did think that it might be a waist of money me purchasing this book, I've flicked through and spotted quite a few ideas that I could do for days when I don't know what to blog about, I think this book is going to come in hand quite a lot.

I recommend this book for Bloggers who are starting out and may not know what they want to blog about, and/or if like me sometimes it can be hard to come up with new ideas you'll need a little help I think this book will do just that. 

Where do you get your inspiration from?

Much needed Boots Haul

Today has been one of those days where time has gone by so fast and I don't even know what I've done, I've managed to do grocery shopping and buying things I needed from boots.

This haul is something I've been needing for a while now and I've run out on some of the products. I got the Neutrogena Oil-free Moisturiser I ran out of this moisturiser today and I don't like putting makeup without applying moisturiser first, I like that it leaves my skin feeling fresh and healthy and doesn't feel heavy on the skin before I apply makeup, I've seen a difference with my skin if I use a different moisturiser to this one its only £4.99 which isn't so bad.

There was a buy one get one free deal in Tea Tree witch hazel brand so I purchased there exfoliating pads and nose pore strips, I've tried the exfoliating pads and I've run out a while ago so I was in need of some, I never tried nose pore strips before and since it was a buy one get one free deal I thought I might as well get it and give it ago. 

The last thing I purchase is the Real Techniques Miracle complexion sponge, I ended up getting this with my boots points since I had over £6 saved on it, I purchased this sponge a while ago but I some how I managed to loose it I've tried looking everywhere but no luck I think I must of thrown it away accidentally. 

Whats your favourite moisturiser?

Hangover Sunday

If you seen yesterdays post you'd know I was going out in London for the first time, I had such a great time met although I was shocked at the amount I paid for a drink was crazy but other than that I had a great night.

I haven't gotten drunk in so long so the drinks hit me a lot more than usual so Sunday was a day for recovering, we popped to Brick Lane to visit a friend who has a pop up Juice Bar stool which I tried Açai a Brazilian drink, it was so good but as I'm not a fan of having bits in my juice I couldn't finish it all, there was so many food stools around that it was hard to choice what to have. 

We ended up going to a Venezuelan Street Food trailer where they where selling Arepas (link) which if you don't know what it is just click the link to find out. I haven't had a proper Venezuelan Arepas since I was back home around 3/4 years ago, We got Chicken, Melted Cheese and Salad, it was so good defiantly brought back memories from home. If you'd in the area and want to try something new I recommend giving the Venezuelan Street Food trailer a go. 

After Brick Lane I went home to recover and gain back some energy that I needed. Have you visited Brick Lane?

New Look Sale

I'm not one for buying things in sale if I'm honest, I can never seem to find anything I like or in my size and mainly because I see a lot of people wearing things that are on sale and it puts me off.

As I'm going out tonight for the first time in London I needed to get an outfit for tonight, I popped into New Look today to see what they have in store, I went straight into the sale section and came across this cute little black playsuit which you can never go wrong with, I also purchased a pack of bracelets and tights for the night. 

Playsuit was £22.99 bought for £8

Bracelet pack £6 bought for £3 

Tights are £2.99 

Everything I needed for less than £15 is a bargain, I defo recommend checking out the sales, wasn't disappointed this time around.

Sleek Haul

I haven't bought any Sleek products in quiet a while, now that I'm living in London I get more access to more beauty brands, meaning I can see and try the product out in store before purchasing. I'm a fan of Sleek I have 6 previous makeup palettes from the brand making a total of 9 thanks to this little haul.

Contouring and Blush palette in light, I already have a contouring palette in Medium, I accidentally purchased the wrong one but worked out well for the Summer since I get bit of a tan, I've been wanting to get a light palette for quite a while which I was quite happy to see that they had it in store, I decided to get contouring and blush palette, its got a bronzer, highlighter and blusher, the blush is a shimmery pinkish peach.

Blush By 3 Palette in Carliforn.I.A - Newport Peach, The Surf and Oc, I tend to go for powdered blushers but since I wanted to invest in some cream blushes for Spring, I came across this blush by 3 Palette and instant new the colours would be perfect for Spring/Summer, theres two matte and one shimmer, the blushes in this palette are very pigmented so a small amount goes a long way. 

The 3rd Palette I got was the I-Divine eyeshadow palette in Ultra mattes V1 Brights Palette, the reason behind this purchase is the bright colours for Spring and Summer, I'm also the one to go towards browns and neutrals colours but its time for me to step out of the comfort zone and explore with bright colours, I like that this palette is matte I'm not a big fan of matte and I feel like its hard finding matte eyeshadows, the colours that I'm liking in this palette are Pout, Bamm, Strike and Crete I think those are the shades ill be using quite a lot in Spring and Summer.

I'm going to do makeup looks using this Sleep haul palettes, what is your go to Sleep Palette?

Tower Bridge

On Saturday myself and the boyfriend decided to explore London just a little bit more, so this time we went to Tower Hill, I used to pass by there from university to get home to Oxford but I never explored out of the train stations.

I've got to see Tower Of London for the first time, to be honest I didn't realise that I was so close from it and Tower Bridge while passing to go home if I knew I would of popped out the tube to go sightseeing. 

So glad that the weather was perfect, you can tell Spring is just around the corner.

If you keep walking you'll see Tower Bridge picking through, I've passed by it on the boat but never been close by to see it clearly.

We ended up deciding to go inside Tower Bridge and check it out, it was interesting seeing the history to the bridge and how it came about, and also getting to see the view from the top of the bridge (above picture) and going on the glass floor which was exciting, to be honest I thought it was going to be much higher than expected but it wasn't so bad. 

Wearing everything from New Look.

I feels like since I've moved within the past 2 weeks I've seen and done more in London than I have in my entire time of Living in England. 

Have you check out the glass floor in Tower Bridge?

Beauty Haul

Living next to a massive shopping centre (Westfield) isn't going so well, by that I mean I've been buying beauty stuff that I don't need mainly because I've been bored out my mind being on my own in the flat that the only thing I tend to do when I'm out by myself is buy things to keep me busy but not making my bank too happy with the spending.

I decided that I'd do a beauty haul of the things I've bought throughout the past couple of weeks and combine it all on one post.

Maybelline New York, The Eraser Eye, I've seen beauty bloggers and youtubers talking about this concealer and they seemed to have good reviews so I thought I'd try them out myself, I did purchase light and nude shades mainly because there wasnt any testers and there was only 2 colours in the boots near me I don't know if they sell in more shade which I hope they do, but I thought I'd give them both a go. 

Quick Dry | Barry M

Im a huge fan of Barry M if you regular follower you'll know I have over 30 nail paints from them so when I found out they had a Speedy Quick Dry nail paint range I had to get my hands on them.

They have a selection of nine shades that has a race-car like chequer lids and a speedy promise, I was won over by the selection of pastel colours perfect for Spring Summer, the two colours that have won me over are Grey Pit Stop and Pink Kiss Me Quick.

I haven't bought a pink shade nail polish in a long, mainly because I never found one that got my attention until I came across Kiss Me Quick I thought I'd try this shade, I've been wearing this shade for a day now and it makes it look like I have a tan so I'm excited to wear this in the Summer when I get a tan.

Ive run out of a grey shade nail polish so I was in need to get my hands on a new one, its a nice pastel grey shade and no a strong dull one, ill be wearing this shade quiet often.

I liked how it drys super quick, I think I waited 2 minutes and it was dry, its a little wear pigmented so I had to do 4 coats, I also like that it comes with a flat brush making it easier to apply on the nails with on swipe. I can't wait to purchase more shades.

What is your favourite Speedy nail paint?
