I can’t believe it’s been well over a year since I started blogging, it seems like only yesterday I was writing my first blog post. So many exciting things have already happened in that time (making awesome new friends, going to amazing events, even being nominated for an award!) but I really wanted to write down a list of personal goals to work towards for the end of the year (which is now ridiculously close) and see how many of them happen! I’ll write an update in January 🙂
Nestled in a part of Brighton I’ve never really ventured before (Gloucester Road) is Shine; a hair salon with added nail bar and massage treatments. I was invited to check them out because Jonathan, the salon owner, has just brought out a gorgeous shampoo bar. (Not like an alcohol bar. Don’t get those two confused.)
I did have a big Halloween post planned, but to be honest, this weekend has been a chill out and re-charge my batteries weekend instead. I did get loads of blog photos taken though, which was great!
So I figured, instead, I could share some Halloween-related facts about me!
It’s been a long time since I’ve had cocktails. The last disastrous night out was my 28th birthday and it didn’t end well. Luckily this time, I had the Yelpers to keep me in check.
I have to be honest, I’d never heard of Licor 43 before, but after trying quite a bit, I think it’s going to become one of my go-to spirits!
In a previous bucket list post, I said that I was going to see Nickelback in concert. I’ve now seen Nickelback in concert, and hot damn, they were phenomenal.
While watching some random YouTube videos a couple of weeks ago, it recommended a YouTuber called Cherry Wallis. If you’ve not heard of her before, I’d definitely recommend checking her out. She not only has a lot of Harry Potter related videos, but loads of SFX makeup videos which I was absolutely enthralled by. It looked really fun, so I decided I wanted to try some of the looks for myself. Unfortunately I didn’t own any SFX stuff at all, so I bought a few things from Treasure House of Makeup.
I’ve also been admiring Hayley’s (TeaPartyBeauty) Instagram feed because her Halloween SFX makeup is just fab!!
*disclaimer* If you don’t like seeing bruises and scars, this post probably isn’t for you ♥
I absolutely love chicken Katsu and curry. It’s what I always get when I pop into Kokoro in Brighton. It’s also incredibly easy to make at home if you happen to find an amazing recipe. Which I have 😀
It’s been ages since I’ve done a makeup of the day post. In fact I think it was back in July! Damn… Where’s the time gone?
I thought I’d do an autumny-feel makeup look at the weekend; all purple and gold tones!
In a previous post, I went to Topshop to try out their personal shopping service, which you can read about here. I said I’d picked up a couple of bits and that I’d do an outfit of the day post so this is what I bought!
Following on from my last confessions regarding both Topshop and my guilty pleasures; I have one more big one for you, and you’re not going to like it. Up until recently I wasn’t a massive Lush fan because their shops smell too over-powering to me.
But, after heading to the Lush store in Crawley in the hopes of having my mind changed forever, they’ve 100% succeeded and I’m now a certified … Lushite? Lusholian? Whatever it might be, I feel I can now send off for my official blogger’s badge because I ♥ Lush.
