Hey everyone! Remember me!? ;) Hope you have all been well. I have been crazy busy cracking on with my final year of uni, but last weekend I had a well deserved break as it was my birthday! On Saturday I turned (the rather boring age of) 22. Last year for my 21st, I went all out and had a big party, but with this year not being so much of a 'big' age step, I decided to keep it a bit more low key and celebrate with my nearest and dearest. 

On the Saturday morning I woke up and was greeted with breakfast in bed from my lovely boyfriend. I then excitedly unwrapped some presents from both him and my family all of which I loved! I then got even more excited as I went off to meet two of my besties who were travelling up from home, before heading back to mine for more catching up and prepping for the night ahead. We then went off to the train station to pick up another one of my very good friends from home. We spent the rest of the day chatting and eating pizza before starting to get ready for the evening.

One of my favourite parts of a night out is definitely getting ready, I love pampering and dolling myself up. I had been having a dilemma for weeks over what I wanted to wear and ordered far too many options from Missguided and Asos only to send the majority of them back. I ended up with two options, a black and white striped peplum dress, and a black peplum top which I would pair with a maroon coloured lace skirt. I decided to go with the maroon skirt and peplum top, as I felt it was more winter inspired. Once ready, a few other girl friends came over and we had a giggle over a glass (or 10..) of bubbly. We actually didn't even head out till about 12:45am, so you can imagine how late a night it was! I had a fab night out, (and one too many sambuca shots) and danced the night away, to the point where one of my heels actually fell off my shoe- oops! 

On the Sunday, a few of us went to get a yummy carvery to nurse the hangover, which did the job perfectly. And on the Monday was fireworks night, so we wrapped up warm and went to an event nearby and got fish and chips on the harbour whilst watching the fireworks which was fun. I had a wonderful birthday weekend and it was really nice to spend time with good friends and all have a catch up. Anyhoo, I thought I would get this post up to share a few of the beauty related pressies that I got with you, hope you enjoy :)

Packing Up My Makeup!

Hey everyone! As I mentioned in my last post, I am soon to be moving back to Uni for my final year and into a new flat with my boyfriend. Today I decided to begin the mammoth task of sorting and packing, and in particular deciding what beauty related items I will be taking with me. Packing up everything definitely takes a lot of time, especially as I am a girl who likes options, so I definitely tend to want to take everyything, so in all honestly, not much is staying behind! All I can say is THANK GOD for Glossybox's. The dozens I have held onto since the whole beauty box concept started have meant I have collected a large amount of pretty pink boxes that are perfect size for packing makeup. They have made things ten times easier, as I can label what is going into what, and divide it all up into categories.  Luckily, my dressing table, acrylic storage, brush holders etc are all coming with me, so unpacking will be super easy as everything will be going into the same place as it was before. 

Anyhoo, the main reason for this post is to say that one of the reasons I am so excited to get into the new place, is because it has a spare bedroom so I will be back to having a dressing room. This means posting on my blog will become a lot easier and hopefully mean I can into more of a routine with my blog and having the space to have everything out and in its own place, also write some more fashion related post aswell. I will definitely get round to showing you my new makeup, jewellery and clothes set up once it is all in place aswell as some more diy decor ideas! I have some exciting posts coming in the near future, and a possible give away at 200 followers!

Are any of you heading back to Uni or school in the next couple of weeks? I wish you the best of luck whatever you may be doing!
