Lush Review-Intergalactic, Ultraviolet & Bah Humbug ♡

I may have mentioned this before (like a hundred times..I'm still very upset about it) but I'm moving into a flat soon with no bath, so I'm having to try and work my way through my lush stash and I'm going to be reviewing bits of it as I go. I've already reviewed The Experimenter here  and today I actually have three products to talk about, Intergalactic bath bomb, Ultraviolet bubble bar and Bah Humbug bubble bar, three of my absolute favourite products from Lush.

Intergalactic is quite possibly my favourite Lush bath bomb ever, I think I love it even more than Lord of Misrule! It used to be exclusive to Oxford Street but is now available in all stores, it costs £3.95 and is one of the bigger sized bath bombs and in my opinion one of the best all round.

It's a stunning bath bomb from first glance on the shelf to when it's fizzed away, and even after as the scent tends to linger on your skin in the best way. On the outside you have the bright blue with the swirl of pink, white and yellow that gives the illusion of a galaxy (maybe...to me anyway) and once you drop it in the bath you get the most amazing display of colours, it's definitely my favourite one to photograph and instagram (insert shameless plug here) it does also contain lustre but it doesn't stick to you, and rinses off of the bath so if you don't like glitter don't be put off!

So if you can't tell already I love the way this bath bomb looks, both in and out of the water, but it's really the smell that has won me over completely with this one, it contains peppermint, grapefruit, vetivert and cedarwood oil and it smells incredible. The mint is obvious but in a refreshing way, balanced with the citrus from the grapefruit and I really with that Lush would bring this scent into more products, I know they have Dirty which is minty but it just isn't quite the same, this is definitely the product I'll miss the most once I don't have a bath anymore and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a Lush bath bomb to try!

To try and work my way though my ridiculous bubble bar stash I've been trying to pair bubble bars together and to go with Intergalactic I really wanted to use Ultraviolet and Bah Humbug, both were unfortunately limited editions but Ultraviolet has been in the last couple of Easter collections and I think that Lush would be daft not to bring Bah Humbug back next Christmas (again I really wish they'd bring this scent into more products, it's amazing!)

Ultraviolet bubble bar is one of the bigger bubble bars that Lush do, it's about the same size as The Comforter but in a rainbow shape, I've adored this since they first brought it out because the smell is divine! It contains rosewood and ylang ylang oils, violet leaf and jasmine absolute and smells beautiful, fresh but earthy, like Parma Violet sweets but not as sickly, perfect for those who don't like the very sweet scents that are typically associated with Lush. You can easily get loads of baths out of this, and thanks to the mix of colours it can be paired with several different bath bombs if you're going for  colour schemes-I used the purples for this bath and have the bluey green section coming up in the next bath in my review series.

I believe Bah Humbug was new to the Christmas range last year but I fell in love straight away, it was incredibly unique amongst the other Christmas products but it was definitely my favourite from the collection, it smells like liquorice but mixed with lemon so that it sweetens it up a bit, I don't know if I'm selling this very well but if it's out this year go and give it a smell, it's amazing! 

You can see the colour that the three of these made in the top photo, it made a beautiful inky purple blue bath with the lustre from Intergalactic, it was stunning and I'd definitely try this mixture again, like my last Lush review the only editing in these photos is slightly in the top collage which I put on instagram, all of the rest are true to their colours so you can see how pretty they really are.

Thankyou so much for reading this, I'm looking forward to doing more Lush reviews as I work my way through my stash and may be doing a giveaway with any unused left over items closer to when I move so keep an eye out for those!

March Favourites 2016 ♡

This is probably a little bit late for a monthly favourites but I wanted to post it anyway, I've set myself an unofficial resolution to post a favourites post every month, for me March dragged slightly but I did have a few things I really enjoyed that I wanted to share.

At the start of this month I was considering getting rid of my Urban Decay Naked 3 palette so I decided to try to use it for a bit to decide...and fell back in love with it..I don't know why I go through phases of not using my Urban Decay palettes but when I do use them I remember how much I love them, I've specifically been using the shades Liar, Darkside and Buzz, and of course Nooner to blend, it's such a pretty palette!

Also at the start of this month I was in Holland with my mum, and while we were in Amsterdam I found this contour powder by Etos which I think is like the Dutch equivalent of boots or superdrug? I've been looking for a contour shade like this for so long, it's the perfect colour for contouring, and only cost about €5 and I'm really dreading running out of this, it's so good!

I also got my first ever Limecrime product this month, their Velvetine lip colour in Pumpkin, I used to love orange lip colours and decided to try this one to get back into them, and love it so much! It's really long lasting and isn't crazily drying, I love the formula so much that I actually don't like wearing regular lip formulas anymore, I've actually just ordered their new colour and am so excited for it to arrive.

More orange now, but this time on my nails, I got this Miss Sporty nail polish from my work the other week and have been loving wearing it with Rimmels It's a Scorcher on top, I wouldn't say these in particular are my favourites, but more just the colour in general, I love orange all year round but having it on my nails makes me feel all summery. The other polish I've been loving has been Urban Outfitters Oilslick, I love stalking the nail polish rack in Urban Outfitters, and can't wait 'til I move so I can live near one, I got this last time I went and love it so much, it's a beautiful colour shifting polish that lasts a while on your nails too, I've found a few interesting nail polishes from their before and while they are slightly pricey I do think they are worth it.
Lastly for nails I've been loving Seche Restore, I love the Seche Vite Dry Fast topcoat but it does go very thick about halfway through the bottle, Seche Restore isn't a nail polish thinner, it doesn't break down the formula it replenishes what is lost when the polish drys out, so it won't lose it's consistency, you only need a few drops so the bottle will last a while, and it works in normal polishes too.

While in duty free I caved in and bought YSL's Black Opium, I've been lusting after this for so long and I'm so happy I finally have it, it smells very deep and spicy and probably isn't quite appropriate for the season but I love it regardless.
Carrie Fletcher is one of my absolute favourite people ever, her youtube channel never fails to make me smile so obviously I had to get her book All I Know Now, I don't know why I put off reading this but I'm so glad I finally got round to reading it. It's aimed at a younger audience than myself, designed to be a sort of guidebook to growing up, but for me I love hearing stories so it was like having a sort of one sided chat with Carrie..if that makes any sense whatsoever..moving on..
Also this month I read The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, it's a bit different to the other fictional books I've read lately, it's more lighthearted but is still a really interesting read, I'm currently reading the sequel so might do a review of both of them when I finish that one but they are so good!

TV wise this month I've been loving Buffy The Vampire Slayer on netflix, I used to like this when I was younger but didn't really watch it properly but I've been addicted to watching it lately, once you get over the 90's style it's so good! My favourite characters at the moment are Angel, Cordelia, Willow and of course Buffy.
I also really loved watching Thirteen, it's a BBC drama and was so interesting, it's about a girl called Ivy who escapes her kidnapper after thirteen years and it follows her relationships with her family and friends, and also the police in their investigation to find her captor, I do wish they had put a little more back story into the final episode but it was a really gripping show and is only five episodes long so is a really quick watch if you don't have much time.
My last TV favourite was Pretty Little Liars, I did mention this when it came back but I decided I'm allowed to put it in a favourites again now that it's finished, I know the five years on thing has divided opinions but I really like it, I love that the storyline feels fresh and I mostly like how the characters have developed, Hanna is still my favourite but I feel like I appreciate Spencer a lot more now  than I did before, I really want to rematch the entire show at some point but I don't think I'm prepared for how confusing that could be, I am dreading when they decide to end the show though, it's definitely one of my favourite shows ever.
Finally I have a music favourite and it has to be Adele's album 25, I don't know why it took me so long to download this but I am in love with it! I actually listened to it on repeat while reading The Rosie Project so it reminds me a lot of that book, but the songs are so beautiful, as of course is Adeles voice, she's another one of my favourite people! It's hard to pick specific favourite songs but I do love  When We Were Young, River Lea, Love in the Dark, Water Under the Bridge...I could list all of them to be honest but I'll behave and leave it there.

Thankyou so much for reading, I'm getting closer to moving now so hopefully I'll be able to keep on top of posting at least once a week..maybe..probably not, I'll try my best though, If you're still reading after this rather rambly post then I hope you have the best April!

Lush Review-The Experimenter ♡

It's no secret that Lush is my favourite shop ever, I love the company, the shops, the branding and of course the products, they are obviously better known for their bath bombs/bubble bars and for good reason. 

Unfortunately this Summer I'm going to be moving into a flat that doesn't have a bath so I'm having to work through my bath product collection to use them up before I can't use them anymore (I'm still slightly in denial about this..) and I thought I'd do some reviews of my favourites, starting with one that I always forget that I love, The Experimenter.

The Experimenter started off as a Lush Oxford Street exclusive but was thankfully one of the products that made its way into regular stores, it's one of the bigger bath bombs that Lush do, and also one of the most impressive. It costs £3.95 and I really would recommend you check it out, it's definitely an experience!

On first impressions The Experimenter is obviously a stand out product, it has fourteen sides (a tetradecahedron I think..don't quote me on that...it sounds cool though!) and combines bright blue, pink, purple white and gold which all together create a very eye catching bath bomb.
Smell wise this may not be for everyone, it's very smoky and in my opinion one of Lush's more complex fragrances, it mixes vertivert, tonka and vanilla absolute, which all compliment each other beautifully, I can imagine this scent being an amazing candle! This would be a good bath bomb for people who dislike Lush's usual sweet, floral or fruity scents.

To appreciate the full effect of this bath bomb I'd recommend part filling your bath without using a bubble bar and then dropping the bomb in, this gives you the full display of it's colours and patterns, then I usually fill the bath the rest of the way and use a bubble bar if I want to. It is a slow fizzer but as you can see the patterns of the colours are so worth it, it also contains popping candy so I think that children would really enjoy watching this one, it's definitely one of Lush's more interesting bath bombs. I'd also like to mention that these photos of the bath bomb in action are completely unedited, I just collaged them together so you can see how bright and colourful this really is.

The one thing that could be seen as a negative with The Experimenter is the end bath colour, because of all of the colours you end up with a murky grey colour, which some people might not like, I personally don't mind but I can see why it might be off putting to people. The inclusion of the gold lustre does help to keep the water looking sparkly once the colours have blended together but because it's a lustre and not a glitter you don't have to worry about looking like a disco ball once you get out.
The last thing I wanted to mention is that this bath bomb is vegan friendly, so everyone can enjoy it, and I'm sure that if you give it a go you will!

Collective Haul-Clothing, Lush & More ♡

I've got another haul today, it's a bit of a random one really, I went on a trip to Holland and also to London recently so I have a few bits from those trips and a few other bits and pieces and I thought I'd put them into a post.

I've been wanting to try the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette (£12.99) for so long now, I kept going into superdrug to try and find it but couldn't find it in any that I went into, so I decided to order it online instead, you get two sachets of their brush cleansing gel as well and I'm really excited to try this properly!
While I was in Amsterdam we went into a shop called Etos which I think is like their version of boots or superdrug, while in there I found their contour powder and it was exactly the shade I've been looking for! I've wanted a cool grey toned contour powder for ages and I love this one! It was only about €5 and I really hope you can get it in the UK somehow!

In the airport on the way back I decided to finally cave and buy the YSL Black Opium (£84) perfume, it's so expensive and it wasn't really much cheaper duty free but I went for it anyway, I got the 50ml EDP so it should hopefully last a while.
In London I went into boots because I wanted to try the new Maybelline Push Up Drama mascara (£7.99) and they had a 3 for 2 offer on so I also got my favourite Lash Sensational mascara (£7.99) and a Colour Tattoo in Pink Gold (£4.99) because I haven't actually tried these yet!

We were in London because my mum had arranged a makeover fashion shoot for my Christmas present, but I was so unorganised I didn't have any clothes to take with me so we went shopping before and I picked a few new bits up.

I've been really underwhelmed with a lot of clothes shops since about November time, but New Look is the one shop that I have quite liked, I've never really worn khaki/green before but loved these two tops from them! The top on the left is the Wrap Front Bell Sleeve Top (£17.99) and I thought it would look really pretty with some black leggings and ankle boots, it's a little dressier than I'd usually wear but it would be nice on a more casual night out. The Dip Hem T Shirt (£14.99) is a lot more casual but would look nice with some jeans and a jacket, and they are both light enough to wear in Summer, but also layer in colder weather.
I've been wanting a wooly striped jumper for ages and when I found this one for about £10 in the sale in H&M I fell for it straight away, it's so comfy and cosy, it's oversized but not too baggy and the sleeves are long enough that I can hide my hands in them (a bad habit but a comfy one) I don't think it's available anymore but if you see one you should try it on because it's so comfy!

Of course I couldn't go to London without a trip to Lush Oxford Street, they had a few exclusive products that I really wanted to try from the more recent collections, the product I was most excited to try was the Sunflower Bubble Bar, it was £4.95 but I think you can get a lot of baths out of this as it's so big! It smells very lemony thanks to the lemon oil and is unlike the other Lush scents I currently have.
One of my all time favourite Lush products is the Ultraviolet Bubble Bar (£4.95) it's the same sort of size as the Comforter so lasts ages, and contains violet, jasmine and rosewood, it smells like parma violet sweets, a little goes a long way so getting two was probably overkill but I always miss it when it's gone!
Another Bubble Bar from the Oxford Street exclusive range is Down the Rabbit Hole, it's another citrus scented product, though more orange than lemon it's a comforting scent and the colours in it are so pretty! This one is £3.95 and while it won't last as long as the others it should be good for a fair few baths.
While I was queuing I was distracted by the lip balms, while I love the lip scrubs I've never tried one of their lip balms so I thought I'd try the Honey Trap one (£6.75) it's minty honey scented lip balm, it contains honey and oatmeal among other moisturising ingredients, it's really thick and perfect for bed time.

I have a bad habit of breaking apple phone charger cables, but I've had one of the Skinny Dip Cord Cables (£16) for a while now and it's lasted really well so ordered a second one, they have a few different colours and if you have problems with your phone cable I really recommend these ones! While I was placing that order I also decided to get the Holographic Snakeskin case, I can't find the 5s one at the moment but I linked the same style in a different size, it reminds me of a mermaids tail and is so pretty!
I saw Lily Pebbles mention that she was on the cover of a magazine called Blogosphere and thought it sounded really interesting, it arrived really quickly too! I haven't actually read it yet but I will soon, it has lots of familiar faces in there so it's worth a look if it's something you're interested in.
I also bought Burnt Paper Sky by Gilly Macmillan after seeing someone mention it in a book review, I'm trying to avoid buying M.J Arlidge's new book on iBooks before getting the paperback so I'm distracting myself with other books, I'm excited to give this one a go.
Lastly I thought I'd mention these Holland & Barrett Vegan multivitamins, Gemma from HelloGemma said that these are the only supplements she takes and I thought I'd try them, I've been taking the Complete B Complex but wanted to try something different to see if they make any difference, I'm not vegan but I am vegetarian so I figured these would contain everything I need to supplement my diet, they were also buy one get one half price, Holland & Barrett's do usually have good deals on so it's always worth having a look.

That's it for my haul, it was a bit bigger than I was expecting so sorry if it was rambly! I'm probably not going to be buying so much over the next few months as I'm supposed to be saving to move out in the Summer, I am working on a home decorating wishlist though so hopefully that will be ready to be posted soon, if you have any recommendations on where to look that would be amazing! Preferably affordable, it's been quite daunting to see how expensive homewear can be!

Zoeva Cocoa Blend Review ♡

Zoeva is a brand that's been talked about a lot lately, I've used a few of their brushes in the past, but after hearing a lot about the palettes I decided to order one.

Back when I bought my makeup brushes from them I think they were only available from the Zoeva website, and as they have to ship them from overseas I ended up paying more for the postage than the actual brushes I bought, they are now available from Beauty Bay, where shipping is free if you spend over £15, but standard shipping is only £1.95 so even if what you choose is less than that it isn't a huge extra cost.

The palettes are about £15.50 depending on which one you get, and I chose the Cocoa Blend palette, the description of the palette says that it was inspired by warm truffle colours, and is free from parabens, mineral oils and fragrance.

The packaging does really remind me of a fancy box of chocolates, it's really lightweight and thin so is easy to travel with, has a magnetic closure but doesn't have a mirror which can be annoying, it's not an issue if you have other products that have mirrors in but usually I use my eyeshadow palette mirrors as they tend to be bigger. The shades also have really cute names, which unfortunately my photos haven't picked up very well.

Inside the palette you get ten shades, and they are all really soft and easy to apply, I do find that some of them have much better pigmentation than others, and one of the biggest issues I have with the palette is that it's the darkest shades that are least pigmented and I struggle to use them to deepen the outer corner of my eye makeup which is why I bought the Urban Decay Oil Slick shadow. 

bitter sweet, sweeter end, warm notes, pure ganache, substitute for love, freshly toasted

Bitter Start- A pale nude shade that isn't very pigmented in swatches but does work nicely on the eyes

Sweeter End- A shimmery duo chrome taupey nude shade

Warm Notes- A gorgeous cranberry shade, quite pigmented and one of my favourite shades

Pure Ganache- A really pretty gold, perfect for brightening up the eyelids

Substitute For Love- A soft brown with a subtle shimmer, not that pigmented but is nice for blending 

Freshly Toasted- A rich mahogany brown, another favourite shade, I don't own anything like this yet

warm notes (again) subtle blend, beans are white freshly toasted (again) infusion, delicate acidity

Subtle Blend- A deep bronze, works really well with the gold and cranberry shade

Beans are White- A deep matte brown, not very pigmented which is quite annoying

Infusion- A dark matte brown with soft gold glitter, quite a soft colour

Delicate Acidity- A sort of purple taupe colour, apparently it's berry toned but I think it's more taupe

Bitter Start, Sweeter End, Warm Notes, Subtle Blend, Beans Are White, Pure Ganache, Substitute for Love, Freshly Toasted, Infusion & Delicate Acidity.

This palette is really good if you like warm eyeshadows, especially if you like to create cranberry/golden eyeshadow looks, I think this would be really nice in the summer, but I would have to use my Urban Decay Oils Slick eyeshadow to darken the look up sometimes.

If you have any more Zoeva makeup recommendations please let me know as I would like to try more of the brand, I hope you enjoyed this review, thankyou for reading♡

My Travel Makeup ♡

Flying in a plane has always been on my bucket list and tomorrow I am finally ticking it off, I'm going to Holland for the weekend with my mum and I'm actually really nervous about the flight. To take my mind off of being so scared of flying I thought I'd write a post about the makeup that I've chosen to take with me.

For base makeup I'm taking my Body Shop Instablur primer, I've nearly finished this so I knew it would be lighter to travel with, and it's a really nice skin smoothing primer. I actually changed my mind about foundation, I've swapped the Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude for the Max Factor Skin Luminizer, I was going to take the Maybelline because it's so lightweight on the skin, I do really like this foundation but I wasn't sure about travelling with the glass bottle so seeing as the Max Factor one is the only one I own in a plastic bottle I swapped them, it is a lot thicker but it should work just fine for a few days.

For concealer I'm taking the L'Oreal True Match concealer, I've been really loving this concealer, it's really nice under the eyes and easy to blend. I've also been liking the Bourgois Java Rice Loose Powder lately and figured I could use it to set my concealer as well as my foundation, meaning I don't have to take my banana powder as well. I'm also taking my Nars Virtual Domination cheek palette, I don't usually use the bronzer and highlighter in this but I figured that if I could have my contour, blush and highlight all in one palette it would save a lot of room in my bag.

I chose the Charlotte Tilbury Vintage Vamp palette because it's the smallest of my eye palettes, and I feel as though with the Urban Decay Oil Slick eyeshadow they will be all I need for eyeshadows, I'm also taking the Urban Decay Primer Potion as that's my favourite at the moment, along with the Soap & Glory Supercat liner, Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara and Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade.

Lastly for lips I thought I'd keep it simple, with just a nude and a red option, I'm taking Mac's Soar lipliner and Urban Decay Ex Girlfriend lipstick from the Gwen Stefani collection, and Mac's Cherry lipliner and Ruby Woo lipstick. I'm usually awful for taking too many lipsticks with me but I think these two will be all I need for the weekend.

So that's it for all the makeup I'm taking with me, I don't really know what we're going to be doing while we're there so this should all be good to create any makeup look that I'll need while I'm there.

Thankyou for reading ♡

February Favourites 2016 ♡

I know it's such a cliché, but how has February been and gone already? I feel as though I've blinked and missed it, but it was a pretty good month.

I have been trying to use what I have already instead of buying new things, in an effort to control my spending, so I don't really have lots of new favourites this month but I do have a few things that I've really enjoyed using.

I actually only have two bits of makeup to talk about this month, both of them being Urban Decay eyeshadows, I spent a week in Southampton visiting my boyfriend at the start of the month, but the eyeshadow palette that I took with me didn't have a very pigmented dark outer corner shade, so I went into Debenhams to look at Urban Decay (can't wait to move to the city so I can actually be near the counter) I was planning on getting Blackout as it's my favourite matte black eyeshadow, but I have it in two palettes already so went for Oil Slick (£14) instead, it's a charcoal black shade with silver micro glitter, it isn't the smoothest of shadows but it is so pretty! I have used it with so many different palettes, almost every time that I've done my makeup.

I've also been using the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette (£38.50) a lot this month, particularly the grey shades with Oil Slick to create a really smokey grey eyeshadow look, it's a little different to what I usually go for but I love it! 

In my January favourites I mentioned that I'd been struggling with my skin, especially on my forehead, and that while the products that I spoke about in that post helped with my skin at the time, it did dry my skin out a lot, the Origins Make a Difference Plus Ultra Rich Cream (£35) it is quite pricey, and I definitely fell in the trap of House of Fraser not having the prices on display, but I was so desperate for something that would help my skin that I don't even care, I literally noticed a huge difference over night-and I'm not even over-over-exagerating, I woke up after using this the night before and even my boyfriend could tell a huge difference in my skin, I was so grateful!

Another couple of skin care items I've been very grateful for this month have been Lush Dream Cream (£6.25) and Bepanthen. I got a new tattoo at the very start of the month, and I feel as though through the trial and error of my previous tattoos I have found my dream combination in these two, I found that healing my new tattoo (photo here-another favourite!) was really easy, Bepanthen is best to use for the first couple of weeks, and then when the tattoo is less dry I start to use Dream Cream during the day on it, and end up just using Dream Cream.

I mentioned Lush Twilight Shower Gel in my Lush Spring Haul and it was unfortunately limited edition but I had to mention it as I have been addicted to using it, I have quite a lot of Lush shower gels but I've been kinda ignoring them because of this one, it's so comforting, and for a lavender scent I find it really easy to get on with which I usually don't.

I've been struggling to stick to one perfume this month, but one that I've been really enjoying wearing is the DKNY Golden Delicious perfume. This was actually the first "grown up" perfume I ever bought when I got my first part time job years ago, it's a really nice fruity floral scent and I've actually finished it this month and am considering re-purchasing it at some point as it's really nicely nostalgic for me. 

I've had my Frends Layla headphones (£129.95) for a while, but I've always been a little scared to use them too often because they were so expensive, but in February I started to use them a lot more and I'm kicking myself for being so silly before, for some reason I can't use normal earphones in my right ear (I must have a weird ear shape..is this just me?) and music sounds so much better when you have both ear phone sides in so these are perfect, I love the size of them as they sit comfortably on your ears and they are so pretty! You can also get them on amazon now so they are easier to get hold of, I struggled a couple of years ago when I was buying these.

I finished two books in February (I've been loving reading so much lately!) I got The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins from Greg for my birthday and finally got round to reading it, it's been quite hyped up and I can definitely see why, it feels very modern and I love that it's set in England as not many of the books that I read have been, it's really interesting and I'd really recommend it.
I also really liked reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, this book is by the author of Gone Girl, and if you liked that book you would probably like this, it's told from different perspectives, and different times, it's really interesting following the story and trying to work out what's going to happen, the film goes nicely with the book, it's got a very similar feel to Gone Girl which is one of my favourite films.

For TV this month I've been loving watching Gotham, I finished the first season and think I'm going to wait for the second to go on Netflix (unless it takes too long) it's based on the Batman comics, but it set while Bruce Wayne (Batman) is a young teenager, it's really cool seeing all of the different characters and how they are portrayed, I love Cat and Ed Nygma, and I have an on off liking for The Penguin as well.
I've also really been loving Gavin & Stacey, I watched it a little bit when it was originally on TV but I flew through all three series in the last week and a bit, the first two series, and the Christmas special are on netflix, and I watched the last series online. The episodes are only half an hour long so it's really easy to watch, it's a comedy so is really light hearted and I found that it really cheered me up while I was feeling quite down in the dumps, I love Smithy and Nessa but I also love that I love all of the characters, I kind of really wish they would make more episodes.

For music I've really been liking Deaf Havana's Fools and Worthless Liars album, I wouldn't usually listen to them but my tattoo artist had this album on and I had to buy it after, I especially love the songs Anemophobia, Hunstanton Pier and Little White Lies. I've also been listening to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black album which is an old but forever favourite, and a more up beat, pick me up song favourite song has been Better When I'm Dancing by Megan Trainor..and a few more bonus favourites have been Sia's and Adele's carpool karaoke with James Corden.

Thankyou if you managed to read to the end of this, I really wasn't planning on this being so long and rambly but I'm just glad I managed to actually write something!
