With the new year comes a new budget, and I don’t know about you but mine’s looking a little lean in the ‘money to blow on expensive makeup’ department. It’s sad, but I’m not too worried because there are a few drugstore gems that I’ve been playing with over the last few weeks, and I…

Thoughts On: Not Sweating University
Today I handed in the Literature Review portion of my Dissertation, a big milestone in completing my third year of University. *throws party over finishing it, then remembers the other million things I have to do before I can graduate*.

New In: Beauty Christmas Gifts
Now, I dabbled with the idea of doing a ‘What I Got for Christmas’ post or video, but I don’t know, the idea just didn’t sit right with me. I love reading and watching that kind of content (I’m inherently nosy and they totally feed that!), but I didn’t really feel comfortable sitting down and…

Five Friday Loves
I’m getting excited now because come Tuesday I might get a day of peace, after handing in my literature review. I’m looking forward to having a big sort out of the flat, since we are heading back today, and we’ve been away for nearly four weeks! My first love of the week is my latest…
