My Weekend...

Happy Monday! 

WARNING!!! Gruesome Picture at the bottom of the post!!

Cheshire Oaks

So I started my weekend with a trip to Cheshire Oaks with my boyfriend. (After he'd given me my gorgeous new handbag below for my birthday) We both had birthdays in July so thought we’d go and spend some birthday money. If you’ve never been or never heard of Cheshire Oaks you must go, the quality of the products is no different at all, and it’s all the genuine stores outlets so they are just loads cheaper!

We started in Levi’s my other half only really wears jeans from here. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a massive jeans person… comfy leggings first any day, but I may have been turned in this shop. The shop assistant (whose name I didn’t catch but she did criminology or something at Uni…I’m awful I know) anyway she was so friendly, I picked my jeans quickly so I sat in the changing rooms chatting with her whilst my bf tried his on, credit it to her she quickly went and got different sizes for us and complimented when we were trying things on which just made the experience nice!  I came out with two pairs and my other half thee. The best thing was if they had all been full price I’d have left around £700 lighter, but I didn’t, I left £125 lighter with 5 pairs of jeans, which is AMAZING!!

My two pairs, top pair are  boot cut with a higher rise and bottom pair are skinny with a low rise.

We then continued to mosey through the shops getting distracted by sparkles in Swarovski and Links London, the pretty bags in Michael Kors, suits in Next and Hugo Boss and clothes everywhere lol. My other purchase of the day was a dress from French connection for £18 reduced from £80, the coral orange flashed me as I walked through the store front, I didn’t even try it on I just bought it!

Bredbury Hall

So my aunty Susannah had just got a promotion to a senior position at work in a children’s home, so we decided it be best to go out and celebrate! I had also bumped into a very old friend the week before and mentioned we may be going out so a few texts later she was on the way too! I wore my new French Connection dress and new nude heels that I found in F&F Tesco, they are lower than my normal heel but really comfy!! And surprisingly still looked as good the next day!

WARNING!!! Gruesome Picture below…...

Unfortunately my night ended with me being in A&E, I’m posting this as this isn’t the first time this has happened to me and everyone should be warned! I’m clumsy yes but even so, I’m not quite sure how I even did this so badly this time! Acrylics, look so pretty until you catch it badly, I first did this a few years ago on holiday and ripped my entire natural nail off, luckily it grew back!! This time and a different nail, the nail was pulled from the nail bed and I’m now bandaged up for a week then I’ll have to see how it’s healing and decide what to do! Be warned not all nails are a great idea!! I’m still in pain now!! 

 And here it is....my poorly nail ripped from my nail bed!! After 6 injections and a painful procedure that I don't want to explain again as it was horrific!! I'm just about okay with a throbbing thumb and an nice bandage!!

I spent my Sunday hungover (again) Detox has begun this week, but I got to see my two best friends so we watched a film snuggled up in my bed having a good catch up and gossip as I moaned about my thumb nail!!

Hope you enjoyed the post and I haven't put you off your dinner!!

Peace & Love!! xx

Father's Day Gift Ideas!

It’s been a while…

I have been moving house recently and it has just been so ridiculously hectic I have had absolutely no time to blog whatsoever!! But hey everyone can have a break right?!

Well I thought I’d come back with a post that would be helpful, Father’s Day Gift ideas for Sunday 15^th June. My Dad is actually helpful when it comes to Father’s Day, he has the same gift every year, a FED card for fishing so it’s easy to get and he’s always happy. But what can you get for yours??

I started with https://www.etsy.com/  I quite like all the little personal items on here; I’m very sentimental so this site is perfect for my needs! The layout is pretty easy and you can choose sections to look through like if your dads into gardening, cooking, sport, travel, etc. My favourite items on here are shown below, but there are so many different and unique things it’s definitely worth a look for any occasion.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

The next site I hit was http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/ I find this site hit and miss sometimes but there are quite a few good ideas for Father’s Day on here. I absolutely love the coded wine lock, if you’re anything like me pinching dads alcohol stash I’m sure your dad will appreciate this one! I also like the little silver tokens for TV time, silence and breakfast in bed, I thought they were quite cute!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

And finally I had a nosey at http://www.moonpig.com/ , I had seen the advert on TV loads so I thought I’d check out what they had on offer. I was actually quite impressed, plus you get a free card with some of the presents. My favourite item is the gift box brew your own beer, my dad would love something like this!!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Hope this helps your shopping struggles!!

OOTD / Shopping Haul!

I had a long week and was feeling a bit down so as always I took to the shops!!

So let’s start with my OOTD, I hit the Trafford Centre last night with my cousin Jade, we shopped for around 2 hours and I totalled up a bill of about £100, but it felt so good to do a bit of retail therapy and I got a few new outfits! Below shows my outfit for today, I got my jewellery from forever 21, my top and jacket are from the fantastic Primark, I love the jacket, it’s really summery and the pattern really stands out, it’s nice and thin as well!

Jeans are my worst enemy, I generally stay away from them because I can never fit in them, but I have been dieting for around a month now so I thought I would be brave. Low and behold I found the perfect pair!! I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 1 Stone so I’m a very happy bunny!!! I love the acid washed look for jeans at the moment, this pair I found in new look. My sunnies I came across accidentally, I nipped in Next to pick up some perfume because I love the Gold perfume, and as I was stood in the queue I spied these gold aviators they were sparkling singing ‘buy me, buy me’ So I did!! Lol.  Finally my sandals, these I picked up in Wynsors a couple of weeks ago but they match my outfit perfectly!

I hit Tesco to get all my beauty products because I had run out of literally everything! I always get the same make-up as you can see from the picture below, I love my simple wipes because they don’t dry my skin out, I also picked up a simple day cream and a night cream which I used last night and this morning, I will write a little review about them next weekend when I have had a good week of use of them and can tell how good to my skin they are!! 

My hair products are John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner, I use these all the time and would recommend these to anyone who bleaches their hair as it really conditions my ends and keeps my hair in good nick! I have used the conditioning treatment today and my hair is so soft, I will also do a full review of this in a couple of weeks as it’s only the first day I have used it I can’t really judge, but Tesco have them at 3 for 2 so it’s a great bargain!! My body products are Vaseline Cocoa oil, this is amazing, I discovered this about a year ago, I use it after shaving my legs and it leaves them so silky smooth it’s amazing!! The Garnier lotion is a hint of tan one, I've never used it before so I will also review this when I've had a good few goes out of it and see how the tan looks!

Have a great weekend everyone! Peace & Love xx
