It's back to school season in the shops right now, and it's one of my favourite times of the year because i love love stationery! Now i haven't been to school in about 4 years now, so i haven't brought this for the 'back to school' purpose, but just purely for the fact i enjoy stationery haha.
I love organisation and planning and the concept of having a new notebook and new pens just excites me a little (i'm easily pleased)
Therefore i popped into a couple stores near me, and hunted for the prettiest things i could find (before any 10 year olds could steal it from me)

In a previous post i mentioned that my friend and myself were planning on going to Malta during the summer, and finally we were lucky enough to travel there!
We flew out on the 9th August & landed back home on the 16th August.
I thought i'd share some of my snaps as Malta is outstandingly beautiful, unfortunately i didn't take a fancy camera with me so my phone camera doesn't quite capture the true beauty of the island, but you can get the idea...
Motel Rocks had another sale and I found some awesome printed trousers (my clothing obsession) for just £10!!!
Trousers: Motel Rocks- £10
Crop Top: Primark- £2
Denim Shirt: TkMaxx- £15
Shoes: Primark- £4
Bag: H&M
Brown Belt
Firstly let me apologise for the lack of posts over the past few months I had a lot going on with work, applying for college, finding voluntary work to get into college (such a hassle) and the wonderful Glastonbury festival in June.
But i'm slowly getting back on track... slowly.
This month i'm sharing with you my favourite TV Series/Programme I have discovered in July called, Ru Paul's Drag Race. A close friend recommended it to me a couple months ago, but I just brushed it off... how foolish i was. I've never known a programme to be so fab, sassy and bitchy all at once, especially when they're all men!
The main concept of the show is to find 'the worlds next drag superstar' by having top drag queens compete against each other in challenges set up by the host Ru Paul (who is my new favourite celeb) The way these (lets say women because frankly half the time i can't tell the difference) perform is incredible, they fight till the end for this crown and cash prize.
I'm a big supporter for gay rights, and i feel that this programme really allows you to see the vulnerability and passion for their society; which unfortunately seems to just get brushed away and not paid attention to. I have enormous respect for them and everyone else trying to get through life doing what they love. Their talent for transforming themselves is over whelming as well just google it and see for yourself, just do it trust me it will make you question life in general haha
I'm so addicted to this show i've managed to get through 5 seasons in 3 1/2 weeks, that's a lot of hours. I recommend it to everyone it's so light hearted and enjoyable, even my boyfriend secretly enjoys it.
COVER GIRL PUT THE BASS IN YOUR WALK, HEAD TO TOE, LET YOUR WHOLE BODY TALK.
AND WHAT.

Err how is it May already? Where has the time gone..
Today i thought i'd attempt my first monthly favourites. These types of posts/videos are one of my favourite to read/watch, I love finding new things to try out that maybe i will love too. I strangely decided to start nealy half way through the year though but owell.
Beauty Favourites:
- Beginning with Rimmel's Wonder'full Mascara with Argan Oil i've been using this product constantly for the past few months now, and i very quickly fell in love with it. As i've mentioned before I love mascaras & over the years i've tried numerous amounts, but nothing beats this
so far.It gives my lashes extra length, fullness, and doesn't leave them clumped no matter how many layers you apply. With the extra benefit of the argan oil formula it leaves my lashes feeling smooth and conditioned when applied & removed. - Next is the ELF Refreshing Eye Roll On which I recently talked about in a previous post here. I'm not sure if this is still available as the company ELF have closed their website & i believe are distributing elsewhere which is a bummer. I only brought this as it was £1.98 at the time so i thought what the heck but came to realise it's actually pretty good. The formula includes aloe vera and cucumber which is so refreshing and really awakens the eye area. The fact it's a roll on too just makes it so much better and easier to apply knowing you haven't applied too much product & wasted it.
- Hidden at the back of this picture is Soap & Glory Hand Food with the weather in England being so unpredictable lately my hands were starting to suffer & beginning to dry up. I went hunting through my drawers & came across this hand cream which i got at Christmas, I smothered it on and it worked miracles. My hands were smooth and moisturised for the rest of the day, and the smell is divine which Soap & Glory are pros at doing.
- The most recent purchase is the Garnier Moisture Match Lotion with SPF20. I ummed and ahhd over buying this for about a week as I was addicted to my current moisturiser from The Body Shop. But seeing that i was on a tight budget and this was a fraction of the price I just brought it hoping for the best. Now i still love my Body Shop moisturiser and will most probably go back to it but if your on a budget this stuff is pretty darn good. A little goes a long way and it leaves my skin glowing as well as making an excellent primer.
- Lastly is this ELF bronzer. I'm still adventuring out of my simple makeup comfort zone so bare with, but who knew how great bronzer's are!? I don't use the brush provided, instead i use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, and i only have to dab gently onto the product for a good amount to be distributed onto the brush. It's easy to blend and leaves a nice glowing colour.
Non Beauty Favourites:
It's all looking very healthy... I'm on a big fitness hype at the moment with summer & festival season approaching I felt now was the time to really knuckle down.
- Therefore I brought my smoothie maker back out, i used to be obsessed with making smoothies, literally 2/3 a day easy and I feel maybe i might fall back into the obsession. The Breville Blend Active is super simple to use and takes less than an hour to whip something up!
- To go along with that is Charlotte Crosby's 3 Minute Belly Blitz DVD. Theres been a massive hype around this DVD so I thought i'd jump on the bandwagon and give it a whirl. I've only used it a couple times so far but my god is it hard let's hope for good results!
- Next are the sunglasses which i picked up from a stall in Brighton, now my head manages to be too small for pretty much every pair of sunglasses until now. These actually fit do you realise how excited I was to find this out I had to get them, the lenses are pretty funky too with a metallic pinky gold shine to them. Only a fiver too bargain.
- Lastly is Yankee Candle air fresheners.... oh wow. I put a new one of these in my car the other day and it smells divine i can't explain. They're so strong & last for ages thank you Yankee Candle.

Wow I ramble. Hope you enjoyed seeing what i loved over the past month, have any of you tried the DVD how is it for you?
