Love your tootsies.

So up for review today are some Soap & Glory products. 

+ Hand Food - Hydrating Hand Cream

+ Heel Genius - Foot Mask 

+ Foot Buffer

Yes, these three products are for some pampering ladies. Your poor little feet neeeeed to be looked after. I've only started doing it since I moved to uni... Because I have too much time on my hands.. but however, My feet and hands are so thankful! 

So i've just got home from work, 7 hours on my feet. Aaaaa heel genius, I praise you. I slap some of this on, give myself a nice foot massage to absorb the product, then put some slipper socks on. By putting the socks on, it allows the product to really get to work, absorbing into your tired, aching feet. In the morning, wow, smooth is an understatement. However, this product really does just smell of foot cream, nothing special and no signature S&G fragrance. Slightly disappointing. 

+++

The Hand Cream has the beautiful S&G signature fragrance. Delish! It contains shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow?! What? But seriously, it makes your hands feel hydrates and smooth. I love using this mostly in winter and autumn when my skin tends to get quite dry.

+++

The foot buffer really isn't just like all the other foot buffers. It not only looks sleek but it also has 3 different foot files. I really like this tool, as the head of the file is tilted, so you can get right under your foot without getting into any awkward position.

At the bottom of the foot buffer, there is a smaller file to get to smaller places, paying more attention to specific areas. I love using this after having a bath, as my skin is softer and it can be filed down easier. I also find that it is much less painful. Win Win. Smooth feet. After filing down some hard skin, I'd massage some of the heel genius into my feet and yes you guessed it, some slipper socks. Love. 

Hope you enjoyed this review guys and I do hope that you've treated your little tootsies to some pampering!!

Lushhhious soaps.

Yum Yum Yum.

This soap smells exactly like your all time favorite lush product. Yes Snow Fairy. It's a gorgeous deep pink and it looks great on my soap dish.  

This is North Pole. Now I think this might have been a limited edition soap for the christmas period. 

The soap has a fresh minty scent at the white end and a sweet candy scent from the pink end. Mixing together to create the perfect Candy Cane soap! It's great for one of those dreaded monday mornings, it certainly gives you a minty kick. 

I've had lots and lots of lush goodies for christmas, as all my friends and family know how much I love their products. Let me know if you'd like to hear about some more of the products I recommend!

It is not a necessity...

So I think it's about time I got back into my blogging and actually give this blog the love and attention it deserves. 

I've had a lot of things on my mind lately, that totally wiped my interest in clothes, makeup, hair and skin care! I didn't know where I was going and where I was at. Coming home for christmas was what I really needed. I needed to be with my family and friends. So now I'm back at uni, in my teenie little room, it feels like home this time around. I'm really excited about 2013 and what it has in store for me and I hope to be sharing all those things with you here. 

My goals in 2013 are to lose weight. Preferably around 2 stone. But this is not a necessity. My biggest goal is to just be healthy. To exercise and eat nice healthy food. I want to cook more, you know from scratch. Like literally everything from scratch. I want to write more, I'm starting to write in my little leather notebooks at least once a day. I write all my thoughts and feelings down and it helps so much. That poor little book is like a book of my burdens that needed to be shook off my shoulders. I want to blog more. I really want to start a youtube channel. I want to pass my first year at uni. I want to be happy. I want to stay in love. 

So 2013 is here. Lets do this.

Uni Wardrobe

Hello lovelies,

So this is another outfit i've been wearing to uni! Again the three c's apply, Cute, Comfy and Casual.

Here i'm wearing a Topshop highwaisted skater skirt with some plain black tights and my beautiful Topshop boots! I paired them with a Dorothy Perkins jumper that I had in the sale years ago, but it is one of my key items in my wardrobe, espeically as we head into the cold and bitter winter months.

 Winter has to be my favourite season, all the boots, mittens, scarfs and coats, hot chocolate and galaxy while watching ps.I love you, cuddled up with your partner. Yes that does sounds pretty perfect!

So my satchel is actually from a charity shop, that my mother found. I really couldn't believe it when she rang up and told me she had bought this bag for £7. Yes seriously. It's a hidesign real leather satchel and the interior is to die for! Plus, this bag is perfect for uni, with lots of little compartments.

You can find these beautiful hidesign satchels and breifcases on ebay.

I hope your enjoying these Uni Wardrobe posts. Let me know what you think!

“Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.”

I bet your all fed up of me telling you how I've moved to Cardiff but it's seriously one of the biggest things in my life so far. To move out of my comfort zone, from my home that i've lived in all my life, from my cosy little bedroom packed with treasures that tell so many stories, with my mum and brother in the next room, dinner on the table and a nice bath run whenever you feel like!

So i've tried to make my teenie, tiny, little uni room as homely as possible by having lots of photos and things that remind me of home, family and friends. When I first moved in, my room was so bare and plain. It really did look a little grunge! It made me so upset to go from such a lovely home to a grotty little flat but you have to start at the bottom and work your way up... one day I will have that beautiful penthouse looking over the bay!

So this post is to show you how i've decorated my room and a few things that i've picked up for university. 

This little magnetic to-do list pad is from Paperchase, it was £3.75 at the time! But it's shot up slightly to £5 since. But I still thing its worth it because of the pretty detail around the edges. There's lots of different styles too! You can get this here.

Next are some gorgeous black leather note books. I purchased two from TkMaxx. You can get great notebooks and journals there for great prices! I'm sure these Italian leather notebooks were around £5 each.

'Got Something to Say' How cute is this. 

I love hearts, so this was a must.

I also bought these cute little pencils with crystals on top.

Now to my room. I was given a billboard to decorate, as your not allowed to paint or hang anything on the walls. To decorate my billboard, I decided to use left over wallpaper from my bedroom at home. I then hung up the wooden, beaded and silver hearts that I had been collecting from many little shops around Wales.

My Flat mates have covered theirs in photos and posters and it looks really cool, but I love the homely feel my billboard has.

So I had two long shelves and two short and I was able to swap there's around to create the style I wanted. 

On one of the shorter shelves I have my cook books, my Pretty Little Liars books (I loveeee PLL), My Lord of the Rings book, Fifty Shades, King Lear, Jane Eyre and some book ends with photos of me and my friends.

On the other shorter shelf, I have my glass jar to burn my Yankee candles, I'm currently burning one called Vanilla Lime. I then have my two jewelry boxes and my Swarovski crystal ornament. 

Magazines. I love collecting them. These are my older Glamour mags, I don't read Glamour anymore as I much prefer Elle, Cosmopolitan and Company but they still look really cool for decoration.

Here is another pile of my magazines, I love the company design, it adds so much colour to your room when they are on display. Putting my magazines on display definitely looks really cute in my opinion.

On my desk, I have my wooden filing unit that I got from TkMaxx and this was around £15, which is a great price! Next to that I have my 'Bowl of hearts' which I showed in a previous post. As you can see on my window sill, I have photos of me and friends and my boyfriend. 

I hope you like my cosy little uni room. Thanks for reading and I hope your all having a fabulous week!

Uni Wardrobe

Hello my lovely lot! 

I have had two massive changes within my life lately, 1. going to university and 2. I've moved to Cardiff! I officially live on my own and how exciting it has all been. I have already met some amazing people at my flat but also on my Journalism course. If you haven't already guessed, I am really loving it here in Cardiff... and I guess that it the reason why there is only probably going to be around 2 posts for october! I've missed my blog sooo much! I can't wait to get back into it.

So to start off my new adventure, I've decided to add a feature post every week called 'Uni Wardrobe'. Now if you have any better name suggestions, I would love to hear them in the comment box below. But for the time being, it's straight to the point and simple! So yes, I'm going to be featuring some outfits that I have wore to university. 

So here is an outfit that I wore during my first week of university. 

You definitely want the three C's for university, which are Comfy, Casual and Cute!

+Zara Skinny Jeans

+Zara Sandals - Sale

+Fat Face khaki jacket

+Zebra print scarf

+Hair - Top Knot

+River Island Leather Bag

I hope you like the idea of the new clothing feature posts, I'd love to hear what you all think! It would be great if you could all let me know any name suggestions.

Hope your all good and well!
