Trafford Centre!

Hey guys! 

So if you don't know by now I love a good trip to the Trafford Centre! I hadn't seen my cousin/baby sis for a while now and we were way overdue a night at the TC so we headed there last night for a cheeky cocktail and a cinema date! 

First of all we hit possibly my favourite place to go to, Cirlce 360. It's always a really busy little bar and for a 1st class cocktail pit stop it really is the place to go! We only had a flying visit so I don't have a lot to blog on, but I got speaking to the manager of the bar and he's thinking of doing a bloggers event so I'll be sure to give you all a really detailed post then! (or next time I go for a pit stop/pic me up mid shopping!) See my pics below from what we had! (They really tell the story anyway!!) We were looked after by a young lad called Tony, he is a credit to the team as he had us laughing the whole way through our visit and made the experience really enjoyable.

We then went to see Think Lile A Man Two...what a hilarious film!! If you haven't seen the first one you must find it and whatch it now so you can go and see the second one! Kevin Hart is seriously at his best here! Me and Connie literally laughed the whole way through!! 

The plot is basically they all go to Vegas and as all Vegas themed films go its disastrous, but I'm going to say no more, you must give it a watch yourself, but for a rolercoaster of emotions of laughter finished with a soppy tear in your eye, give it a watch! Anyway here's my pics from the night...enjoy! 

Peace & love xx

Circle 360 Situated in the arches near the restaurants.

I couldn't resist a good old classic Long Island Ice Tea and Connie chose a fab reccomendation from Tony a Grey Gopse Le Grande Fizz

Who can resist a red velvet and chocolate cupcake!? Not us obviously haha 

Wait...first, let me take a selfie...

Amazingly they have started a loyalty card so now I'll collect points on ever visit! 

And lastly my new lippy! Loreal Paris, 373 Magnetic Coral

Minion Mad!!

So I've not posted for a while, I've either been mad busy working loads before I go back to Uni or dying in bed from tonsillitis and my bad knees! So I had yesterday morning off work and I had to go get some new work pants, I bobbed to primark and stumbled across the best pyjama pants I've ever seen! 

If you don't know by now, I'm obsessed with Despicable Me and the Minions! So these PJ bottoms had to be purchased! 

             

I finished work at 6pm today so I decided to sleepover at my aunties as I've not seen her in forever!!! This called for the first opportunity to get my pants on, DVD night with nachos, a glass of gin and my comfys!! 

My Minion top was a present for my birthday from my aunty, I think it was from HMV

The night wouldn't of been complete without some of the bad boys below...

And of course we cannot forget about my minion phone case!!!

eBay, bought a while ago, around £5 just search for minion phone cases there are sooooo many it's ridiculous!! 

So I've had a cracking evening which cheered up my long working weekend! 

I hope you've all had a fantastic Sunday and haven't missed me too much whilst I've been gone! I'm back to stay now with lots of post ideas ready to come your way!!

Home Made Lip Balm

Okay, so I recently had two of my little cousins come for a sleepover recently and as anyone with kids or younger family will know they need entertaining 24/7 

So when they arrived I had set up a little area to make lip balm/lip gloss. I had seen things like this over the years on Pinterest, blogs and magazines so I thought it would be fun to I've it a go! 

Ingredients:

Vaseline

Flavour Aid/Kool Aid (or similar powdered drink) (you will find it online or in the around the world food isle at your supermarket!) 

Water

Tubs (to put it in when done)

I also bought a strawberry jelly crystals to give that a try if the Flavour Aid didn't work!

Method:

Microwave Vaseline until runny, then store in hot water (supervise kids) 

Mix Flavour Aid/Kool Aid with water (think of this like icing sugar, less is more) 

Spoon melted Vaseline into the single tubs

Add a few spoons of Flavour Aid paste and mix  

Once it's in the pots pop it in the fridge for a little while so the Vaseline solids up! 

Then it's ready! Give it to your girls to pop on their lips to give them a try! I used the cherry Flavour Aid and it tastes delicious on your lips!! And even gives them a bit of colour! 💋

The girls really enjoyed making it anyway! I finished the night making jelly and angel delight with them and then we did storm painting! Safe to say I had won them out by the end of the day!

Jumpsuit!!

Happy Monday Lovelies!! 

So I had a cocktail party on Saturday and had nothing new to wear, I had some fabric that I had bought about 3 months ago from Leon's in Chorlton and never got round to making anything with it! I also had a pattern so I thought why not? I've never made a jumpsuit before! The pattern was McCall's 6969 Misses Jumpsuit & Romper Sewing Pattern.

I laid the pattern out and got snipping! The instructions were fairly easy to read, I already have knowledge of pattern cutting so I did kind I ignore some of them! A couple of hours work and I had finally finished! I'm so happy with the final look below!! I styled it with a light pink jacket and nude shoes. 

What do you think guys??

Have a great Monday! Peace & Love xx
