Valentine's Day 2015

Hello lovelies!

 

Love it or hate it, you wouldn't have been able to escape the Valentine's hype this weekend & regardless of whether you spent it with your other half, or out with the girls, I hope you had a lovely day!

Myself & James started the day with a fry up which we cooked together, complete with sausages, bacon, eggs & toast. Yummmm!

 

We then decided to go for a walk by my house to visit some sheep. A guy is renting one of our fields at the moment & owns 18 sheep, 5 of which have been hand-reared, so they're very tame & come running over to you as soon as they see you! So adorable. We also took Harvey & Honey for a long walk where we all got very very muddy..

 

After drying off, James left mine around 4pm, to go back to his to set up dinner. It was such a lovely evening, he'd gone all out.. candles, a single red rose, three course meal & a personalised CD with all our favourite songs. So amazing.

 

Afterwards we curled up in bed & caught up on Ex On The Beach.. anyone else obsessed with this program? : D

What did you do this weekend?

Nails #19 - Valentines Special

Hello lovelies,



Left - Barry M: Bright Red & Models Own: Hypergel Searing Pink. Right - Models Own: Hypergel Searing Pink & La Femme: 02

 

Here are two nail arts I've designed this week for Valentines Day. I love doing my nails for special occasions, Valentines being one of my favourites as I can't get enough pink in my life!

I'm hoping they'll give you a bit of inspiration if you're looking for a design for the weekend.

My last post also featured the perfect Valentine's scent, by Lacoste if you're interested in that too!

Hope you have a wonderful day, regardless of if you're celebrating or not : )

Lacoste - A Touch Of Pink

Hello lovelies!

 

Struggling to find that perfect scent for Valentines Day? I think I've found it!

 

Today I wanted to post about a gorgeous eau de toilette I got for Christmas & it's called Lacoste; A Touch Of Pink.

 

I actually got this in a gift set called Girls Night In, which came with slippers, toe separators, nail file, makeup bag, headband, eau de toilette, shower gel & body lotion. I can't thank James enough for this, everything is so pink.. I love it!

 

A Touch Of Pink is the perfect girly eau de toilette, perfect for any occasion, especially those romantic days out. It's quite a fruity-floral scent & I love wearing it in the day but it would also be lovely for garden parties in the Summer time. I think of it more as a Spring / Summer scent, but I can't keep it hidden away till then!

 

What scent are you wearing this Valentines Day?

I've also written a Valentines nail art post which you can check out here if you like, for more inspiration for the big day! : )

iPhone 6

Afternoon lovelies!

 

I wanted to do a post about my most recent purchase, the iPhone 6. Previously I had the iPhone 4s which I adored but as my contract was coming to an end, I thought it was time for a change. I get so attached to my phones, it's not normal..

iPhone - Apple / Case - Ebay

 

Being the hi-tech geek that I am (seriously though, I can just about manage to text & use a few apps..) I decided to go for the iPhone 6 in silver. The best thing about it is definitely the battery life. My 4s would just about make it through the day without much use, but the 6 I can use regularly for 2 days before it needs charging. I'm also loving the touch ID feature!

 

I think this post would be pretty boring unless I included a few of my favourite apps that I've either recently downloaded, or favourites that have transferred across. So here we go : )

 

Facebook - Everyone has it & everyone (secretly) loves it.

 

Twitter - I'm on Twitter constantly. I've recently found so many lovely new blogs through the blogger chats & just by following people who re-tweet new blogs.

 

Instagram - Again, would be lost without this app. I love taking photos of everything & anything & Instagram is the perfect place to post these!

 

Bloglovin - One of my favourite apps, I follow so many blogs on Bloglovin, it's hard to keep up with them when your out & about but this app allows you to do just that.

 

Google Maps - This one has proved to be so useful over the past couple of months. Myself & James went up to London for New Years Eve & Brighton ice skating for my birthday in the middle of January & on both occasions, we've needed the app. It's so accurate, it can pin point you to your exact position.

 

Gmail & Hotmail - Again, essentials. Picking up emails when out & about is a necessity.

 

Ebay & Amazon - Perfect for when you suddenly remember "Oh it's blah's birthday next week & I haven't got her anything!" or simply "Could do with one of those" you can order it from the touch of a button.

 

Costa, Nandos & Starbucks - These are my three favourite places to go & having loyalty cards for each one, means I can simply check the app to see if I'm due a free drink, snack or even a free chicken! (Gotta love nandos!)

 

What are your favourite apps? : )

Life At The Moment #70

 

Afternoon lovelies!

 

I wanted to do a quick update post as today is the 1st February can you believe! January has flown by..

 

So a few weeks ago, I braved the hairdressers. Yes, that was a big deal for me. Last time I had my hair cut I hated it & refused to wear my hair down for a month! & that was last June.. so I knew I'd have to go back sooner or later. I tried a new salon in my local town & was so much happier when I came out. I also received a text from them the next day (as it was my birthday) that I could claim a free blow dry, which was awesome!

 

& that leads me nicely on to my birthday night out on the Saturday. I did a full post on my birthday adventures here if you'd like a read, but in conclusion it was one of the best birthdays I've had.

 

One of my favourite gifts I got was from my parents & it was this stunning Pandora ring. I've been wearing it none stop alongside my other rings & despite it looking quite bulky, it doesn't catch on things which I was worried it was going too.

 

Last weekend, we celebrated one of my girl's birthdays. Bo turned 22 on the 25th January. We went out for drinks at the local pub & played card games to celebrate.

 

& finally this weekend, I've spent up in Gloucester visiting James at uni. We've had a lovely few days, spent watching films, shopping & going out with friends. I have managed to catch a very irritating cold though, so I'm travelling home to snuggle myself up & have a nice hot bath. Luch bubble bars make everything better right? : )

 

How has your week been?
