Primarni Shopping Haul!

Yes yes, I know, my saving goal, I know! But this stuff only came to £17 altogether so shush haha!


So I got paid Friday and the first thing I do is decide if I NEED any thing. And I obviously do need a new dress, blazer and necklace....OF COURSE I DO. I did need the organiser thing though, its brilliant and will help me be more..organised.

All of this is from Primark, where I work, so I often go round and see things I want and have to resist!

But THIS, this I could not resist. I eyed it up before and I was like, NO, I must not spend £13 on you, £13 I do not have! And then it went in the sale...for £5!! FIVE POUNDS!! I couldn't pass up on a pretty little bargain like that! So I didn't! I grabbed that dress as fast as I could, and it looks so pretty, pics of it on to come in a upcoming post!


This jacket was also in the sale for £7. But that wasn't why I bought it. I bought, because those black dots, they are tiny owls. Yup, this jacket is covered in TINY OWLS. How can you resist, like, seriously? TINY OWLS


SEE, TINY OWLS, JUDGING YOU AND STUFF. Awesome.


I fell in love with this necklace right away. If it has feathers or wings on it then I must have it, especially when it comes to jewellery! My wing/feather collection is coming along nicely!


This little beaut only cost me £2 so I couldn't say no, could I! It is a pencil/pen pot with a magnetic notepad, mini address book, mini notebook and two pencils! All for £2 (reduced from £4) I found only one in my store, so I think I was lucky! I just love the print on it, there are little birds on it too, which you can't see here. I love Primark sometimes!

So that's my little haul from Primark, do you often find little gems in the sale and accessories or is it just me? Aren't owls just adorable? Tell me what you think!

STAY BEAUTIFUL and thank you for reading!

Personal Goals for 2013!

Hello 2013! And hello to all my readers that still read these! Thank you for sticking around so long and not giving up when I thought I did!

Looking back over 2012, I am not quite sure what to think of it! It was an on and off year, I suppose, more off than on, but I plan to use the energy I saved up in 2012 to make 2013 one heck of a year! I did some awesome things in 2012, like attended my first festival, went to Crete, got a job. But mentally, 2012 was a bit of a downer for me, so making 2013 a recovery!

Why is this post so late, I hear you cry?! It's nearly February, I hear you cry?! I know, I know, don't worry! I planned all along to kick it off again around this time! What's the point in writing a New Years Resolution blog when by mid January we would all be tucking back into those left over Celebrations from Christmas, the gym long forgotten! Instead, I am making Personal Goals for the year!

I want to achieve more this year and make my life better for myself, not just short term goals, but long term ones too. I felt like my flare and passion for life had died a little in 2012, so I am bringing it back in 2013, I'm going to light myself up (like the fourth of July).

Now, on to those personal goals!



1. Finish a story! (aka Write a 50,000 novel in 31 days because you are a crazy fool)
~With this one, I have started already, though I fell behind last week when I got ill, but I am picking it back up today, I WILL get this done!! I have always written stories, and love writing, but I have never completed one! So this year, I told myself, I want to complete one of my stories, and then this escalated into the challenge of writing 50,000 words in 31 days...I AM CRAZY. But I will do it, I can feel it in my bones. It's even more of a challenge because it's the first sci-fi story I will be writing *le gasp* I usually write fantasy, but sci-fi has always interested me! Wish me luck!

2. Finish AT LEAST one chapter of my comic
~ Yup, another creative one, but I need to get that spark back! And what better way than actually doing my comic! This will be the next creative project after my novel, so once Subject 10 (the novel) is finished, I will move on to starting my comic! I already know what it is about and have Chapter 1 planned out in writing and began drafts, I just need to kick myself up the bum and draw!

3. Lose another stone (and get into healthy eating habits)
~ This one is more a long term goal, as I want to lose a bit more weight and then I will be happy with myself and I want to get into the good habits of eating healthily. I don't want to diet, I want to change my lifestyle! If I can get into good habits and lose weight, it will help keep the weight off!



4. GET FIT
~ I need the stamina. I get worn out after a brisk walk for 20 minutes. I want to build up my stamina so I can enjoy life more! I want to go for long nature walks, walk up hills, mountains, conquer places I have never been before, walk all the way around Portsmouth, stuff like that! I want to have the stamina to keep up with my boyfriend (NOT in the way you are thinking :P Or is it...;D ). Getting fit and healthy will give me that energy boost and stamina boost to live life the way I WANT to!

5. Blog More!
~ Because I was terrible at it in 2012! I love blogging, but I just didn't do it enough, and I totally want to get back into it, not just on this one, but on my media one too, where I will be reviewing local events as well as films, games and music! I don't want to be blogger famous, I just want to bring people good reading! If you have any tips or ideas for me, just comment below!

6. Save up enough money to do what I want!
~ This is a grouped one, because I want to go on holiday, and build my PC, and other things! But I am terrible at saving money, so this one will be a challenge for me! I've already started a budget sheet where I write down my daily spends on it and money coming in and out! This month I'm not doing too well...but I am trying haha!! Once I get my computer, I can do things like make a video game, edit drawings on photoshop, and review games better!! So over all, saving money would improve my life, haha!



7. Be a better girlfriend
~ Because I am a bit selfish to be honest, so this one I am dedicating to my boyfriend so I can make him happy. which will make me happy!

So there you have it, that's my personal goals for 2013! I've already started working on one or two, its baby steps, but I will get there! I will be happier by the end of the year, not a new me, but an improved me! Kitty 2.0!



STAY BEAUTIFUL and thank you for reading!

Review! Make Up Academy Eye shadow Trio in Passion

Hey everybody!!

Today I will be bringing you a review on one of my favourite eye shadow trios, MUA Eye Shadow Trio in Passion!


This pretty purple offering from MUA has got me through some busy mornings where I only had five minutes left before I had to leave to catch the bus and wanted some colour on my eyes!

It's a trio of three colours, a pearly white shade, a lilac shade and a darker purple shade, perfect for base, lid colour and crease respectively! It is just so insanely easy to use, but it does have a mini diagram on the back showing you!! I pop the white colour all over, making sure I get under my brows as a highlight, then the lilac all over the lid and finishing with the darker purple colour in the crease!



This lovely little palette of happiness helps me in the mornings create a pretty and feminine look in no time flat and is portable enough to slip in to your hand bag! It does come with the little sponge applicators, which I like to use, but you can easily use your fingers or a brush.

The pigmentation, as you can see on my arm above, is darn good for a little product that only costs £2.50 and I think I may have to buy the entire collection as they are just so useful!! The colours blend well and have a shimmer to them, which is perfect for me as I love shimmery glittery shades!

Excuse the bad photo >_<
I think next I will buy the bronze one as now it is Autumn here and bronze shades are needed!! 

Have you tried any MUA products? Did you like them?

FOTD ~ A bit of October Gold



Hey guys!! In case you hadn't seen, I dip dyed my hair! Here is a quick pic, for some reason one side of my hair came out wavier than the other!! Grrrrr! But you can see the pink so it's all good (^_^)/

Just a quick face of the day post, cause I put full make up on today rather than just mascara, eye shadow/liner and lip stuff!

Close up of my face
Not sure what colour my actual eyes look here...sea blue haha!
Went for a shimmer gold/bronze type look today!
Messy lipstick, opps (>_<)

LUSH Jackie Oates Colour Supplement all over
S Color Translucent loose mineral powder

I will do a FOTD tomorrow and you will see how much I normal put on, which is a lot less than this haha! This is more of a night out list, but I was bored this morning and had time to kill (~_~)

How much make up do you usually wear?

Food Diary: Monday Noms!


Hey guys!! I thought in order to get me out of my 'Octobers' and get me blogging again I'd try to do daily food diaries (plus if I remember to take photos it might help my diet -_-' ) So here is the first one! I only got three photos cause dinner smelt so good I was eating it before I realised...and you don't need to know about that half a pack of ASDA cookies I consumed...hurrrr

BREAKFAST:
I was really hungry and decided to indulge in a big breakfast. It was weird, but oh so delicious and in my opinion, the best way to start Monday! Small tin of baked beans plus two bubble and squeak veggie sausages with mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top!


MID MORNING SNACK:
Handful of chilli coated peanuts and a glass of squash (I drink this glass full of water, but sometimes I indulge in squash)



LUNCH:
For some reason I fancied some sort of leafy salad concoction for lunch (probably my body drowning in carbs going NO MORE PLEASE) so I went for a peppery salad bag (half), feta cheese, mozzarella sprinkles and a hard boiled eggy. Plus a small squeeze of mayo. It was delicious. And cheesy


For my very delicious dinner, I made fried potato slices with garlic and red onion (and more cheese. I am cheese obsessed) loads of peas and battered fish fillets. Diet...whut?

TOMORROW....I shall be more successful, I swear *clutches the air and falls to knees*

Fashion Voucher £50 Boohoo challenge!

I recently saw a few blog posts dedicated too this and since I like BooHoo's clothes, I decided too give this a try!

Over at Fashion Vouchers, they have this fabulous competition going on where you could win a £50 BooHoo voucher! (Yes, this is the day of competitions haha!) All you have too do is create an outfit, using BooHoos clothes, for £50! Not one too turn her nose up at a good competition, I decided too open up BooHoo and see what kind of outfit I could piece together, mainly from the clearance!


With Autumn approaching, I decided too go for a look that was slightly more covered up! My thoughts went along the line of comfy, with splashes of colour and a nice pair of boots. I love boots!

I wanted too do a short dress and leggings look, because sometimes they can look really good. Although I am going off plain black leggings a little, I do like patterned leggings, but have never really tried them (yet). I went with a simple and pretty dress (£15) with these colourful and pretty flowery leggings (£6). I wanted too add a contrasting print scarf, and found this nice one for £3. Scarves are vital in Autumn! I am sucker for cinching in the waist line, so I found this lovely belt for £6 that went nicely with the boots I liked the most (£20). All of the items apart from the boots were on the sale pages, and I would consider buying all of them! I really want too try those leggings just too see if patterned leggings suit me haha!!

What do you think of my look? Do you want too make your own entry? You can find the blog page for it HERE
