GBK

I finally decided to tear myself away from the gym this weekend and had a visit from the girls from Uni.

We decided to go out for lunch and picked Gormet Burger Kitchen. I've been there before and wasn't that impressed but after my friend raved about it I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad a did.

Bootea

After reading many reviews about this detox tea I decided why not give it a go. 

Clarins: a product review

So I recently started using Clarins moisturiser after seeing rave reviews about it online and was given some free samples for a cleansing face wash and toner and instantly fell in love. 

My skin is very dry and I struggle to keep it feeling soft. After a couple of months use of my Clarins products I thought I would do a quick review. 

Clarins gentle foaming cleanser. 

I use this every evening to wipe away my make up and any dirt traces. Since using this I have noticed such a difference in how my skins feels. It's so much softer and not so irratated. This is must have for me and I will be purchasing it again once I run out. 

HydraQuench day cream. 

This also comes in a night cream and with SPF. After some advice from the helpful staff at the Clarins counter I opted for the day cream without SPF as it would be lighter on my skin and not clog my pores. I have to say it does not feel heavy or at all greasy on my skin and makes a great base for foundation. After using this I have noticed how much easier foundation glides on my face and it has even improved my overall skin tone. 

Extra calming toning lotion.

This claims to reduce redness and irration caused by sensitive skin. The camomile in this toner really has helped with my iterated skin. I often get red patches (looks like sun burn) when I get out of the shower, however with this toner that is a problem of the past. Out of all the beauty products I have ever tried and believe me it's a lot this is my absolute must have. 

A quick catch up

So I've been away from blogging for longer than I expected. Just wanted to catch you all up on what I've been doing whilst I've been away. 

So I spent a weekend in Norwich catching up with some university friends. Norwich really is a lovely city and the nightlife is pretty good too. I visited the cutest cafe and had some amazing home made cake. 

I've even making the most of the sunny weather and had a picnic with all the girls and being the big kids we are we decided to drink our pimms out of Disney princess plastic cups. 

I recently started a new job and whilst I'm very happy in my new job it was sad to leave everyone at Debenhams behind. As a leaving present some of my colleagues got me this cute sign. I love kitsch signs like this for the home and guarantee when I get my own house it will be covered in these. 

My week in photos

So it's been a while since I lasted blogged as I've been busy searching for a new job and I have worked a lot over the past month. So I thought I would share with you what I have been up to during my abesence.

So I took a trip to lakeside to go shopping and stopped off in Brentwood on the way to take a look at the places towie made famous. Amongs

Just touched down in London Town

This week I had a well deserved break from work so I decided it was about time I met up with some old Uni friends. So I've been super busy and spent two wonderful days in London shopping and eating way too much and enjoying cocktails. So here's a few photos of what I got up to. 

Sunday Funday

 

Queen B

I have recently started watching gossip girl and I have become obsessed it's such a great show and the styling of Leighton Meester and Blake Lively is to die for. My personal favourite is Blair Waldorf's outfits, they are just the right about of upper east side sophistication mixed with high class fashion. So in order of Queen B I wanted to post a few Blair inspired outfits. This post is classic day time Blair.

Confessions of a foundation addict

I am that person who has to try every single hot new foundation on the market, as a result I now have quite a collection as you can see below.

Happy new year!

So it's 2014 already! 2013 has been an amazing year and has flown by. As every year comes around we all make New Years resolutions so here are a few things I want to achieve this year. 

1. Explore the world

I have now found a travel buddy and couldn't be more excited about planning my travels. 

2. Be happy 

This year I want to do things for me and just live for the moment. 

3. Land my dream job

Whilst I do love my current job, it would be amazing to get an internship or job within fashion in London. 

4. Buy a car

Whilst I have been driving for many years I am yet to purchase my very own set of wheels. 

5. Meet up with old friends

Life always gets in the way and this year I want to make more of an effort to go out and visit friends.

6. Blog more

I always mean to get on here more yet I never seem to have the time. So this year I will be more organized and make time to blog.
