Rita Ora Nail Polish '403 Oragasm'

I painted my nails today with a colour from the Rita Ota collection from Rimmel. Because its summer I thought I would go for the shade '403 Oragasm,' which is a really lovely orange colour.

I really like everything about this product. The application was smooth and easy, it dried within about a minute and only needed one coat. Also, the colour is really fresh and vibrant. I would definitely purchase another product from this range!

The Body Shop - Honeymania Body Butter

Just thought I would do a little post on the amaaaazing new product I've been using.... The Body Shop 'Honeymania' body butter.

I was lucky enough to get a few of the Honeymania products sent through the post, but they've all been sitting in the bathroom unused for ages as I have so many other things to use up first.

I tried the lip butter a while ago and thought it was really nice, fresh smelling and very hydrating, but I have recently started on the body butter after using up my soap and glory body moisturiser - and wow!

It is just SO SO nice

The texture in the pot is quite hard, definitely not a 'lotion' feeling, but when it goes onto your skin it is the softest, creamiest product and smells really, really good! I applied it this morning after my shower and now, 12 hours later, my skin feels really lovely and soft.

I would definitely recommend this product and even though it is not the cheapest of products at £13, I think its well worth it.

I've included the link for you to go and have a look!

See HERE for yourself :)


Let me know what you think!

Two days off in the sunshine!




So the last 2 days have been my 2 days off work for the week (thank god! hehe) and I just spent
some time with my family.
On Wednesday I went to Scarborough for the day (about 30 minutes from Whitby, where I live) - which was really nice, we all just mooched around, had a few drinks and a look round. Then we went back to Whitby and decided to go out for dinner at a bar on the harbour-side called 'The moon and sixpence' - its about 5 minutes walk from home and does THE nicest food, I had halloumi fajitas and then creme brulee, cannot praise it enough! yum yummm.

The NEXT day was kind of similar but we just wandered around Whitby in the sunshine making the most of the day off! I had an ice-cream (looking a bit like a toursit here!! lol) and then spent most of the afternoon/evening watching tv and playing on the ps3 :)


So all in all had a really good couple of days. now back to work  - but you need to earn the pennies somehow!!
What does anyone else do on their days off?! As I really struggle to find things to do and sometime end up wasting them!!

Daily blog!

So I thought I would give 'daily-blogging' a try and set myself the challenge to do it every day for a week, without fail! Its not exactly super hard to do, but it just means actually finding time and sitting down to write something.
So here it goes...
Well, I was supposed to be having a really productive morning cleaning the flat and organising bills etc, but I got bored and spent all morning playing Guitar Hero. Oops!! (But muchhhh more fun :D!)

I have work pretty much every single night from 4pm(ish) as I work in a hotel/restaurant/bar, so most of my days are spent trying to be productive, failing, then being online until I realise its work time!

This isn't a very interesting one as its just a little blog to get the daily blogging rolling! Soo, I am going to cook some pizza and continue with the afternoon of internet-ing :)

Random hello!

I've not blogged for aaaages, I keep saying I'll get round to it but then get distracted with work, or my kindle, or work... or my kindle :P I am a super boring book geek I'm afraid!

Sooo, I'm really excited for the next few months, a new job and moving house is on the cards and just general summer time!

Ohh, I also went to Slam Dunk North in Leeds last weekend! Which was amazing!!! I've been for the last 3 years and its become sort of a tradition. This year I was mostly looking forward to seeing Motion City Soundtrack (favvvvourite band ever!!! :) <3) and The Ataris, but I was super impressed by some of the new bands I heard..... but thats for the next post I think :P

I'm going to make a cup of tea!

Make-up free days.

It sounds really random on a beauty-based blog to talk about going make up free, but its seriously something I've been loving recently.
For such a long time I've been concerned with wearing make up to make my skin look better or to cover spots or to 'bring out my eyes' or whatever else the reason... But as I've grown up I've really realised that getting outside in the fresh air with a clean, clear face and a slick of moisturiser is the best thing for healthy skin.
I also feel really empowered when I do it, as if to say, 'This is me...'
I mean, who really needs to go to the supermarket with a full face of make up on?? Its daft, a waste of time adn effort and a waste of make up! And actually, when you do do your make up for a night out or for work etc it makes you feel even nicer.
Anyway, rambling over for now, but I seriously recommend you try it. Even just for one day a week...or one 'activity' a week, like going to the supermarket.
