Make-up collection and storage!

The storage I ordered from WHSmith just arrived! I quickly took some photos because I was excited to show you haha

The Blossom drawers were £14.99 and the Bounce shoe box was £6.99.

Oh and they are not going to be placed on the shelf like in the photos, I'm just in the middle of decorating my room!






Ta daaaa! It's the perfect size for my make-up!


Nail polish storage:



The box is huge! But fits everything in nicely :)

Another long bronze necklace!


This is my third long bronze necklace from eBay, the others being this one (Owl) and this one (Pocket watch). I wear the owl and pocket watch necklaces all the time!
This one cost £3.50 and I think the flower design is cute. I'm not too sure on the peace sign inside though, but all I have to do is not open it!
This necklace, along with the pocket watch one is from this seller: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/idealway11/

Boots Extracts Vanilla Body Butter

Price: £7.75 for 200ml

'Extracts vanilla body butter intensively moisturises and hydrates, leaving skin soft and smooth.

Extracts vanilla body butter is organic, sustainably sourced & fairtrade.'

This isn't the cheapest body butter, but it's cheaper than The Body Shop and it's a price I'm happy to pay.The two things I look for in a body butter are: it has to smell delicious and the consistency has to be thick. Vanilla is my favourite scent, so obviously I adore the smell. It's very sweet, maybe too overpowering for some, but I personally love it. The consistency is very thick; if I run my finger over it, no product is picked up. I have to run my finger over it quite forcefully, which I don't mind because I love thick body butters. It moisturises well, I've never come across a body butter or lotion that doesn't moisturise well. It also sinks into your skin well. I think it's a bonus that the products from the Boots Extracts range are fairtrade.

I love this body butter and would definitely choose this brand over The Body Shop. I've also got their Cocoa Butter body butter, which smells like chocolate, is just as thick and deeply moisturises.

Boots are doing a gift set which includes 5 50ml Boots Extracts body butters. This is £10 and on my wish list (Will be even better if it's in the Christmas/January sale!)

Someday Summary

Haven't wrote one of these for a few weeks because my life is boring! This post is about the little things that have amused me which I want to share with you :)

  • It's finally snowed in the South West! It was coming down heavy earlier but has now stopped. We should have a lot more tomorrow morning.


  • My new loves. These are my Newlook '32in Crinkle Skinny Jean' £19.99. I'm not sure what colour I have but I think they're either Klein Blue or Blue Pattern. The picture does not do them justice at all! They're not crinkly on the knees, that's just where I've been wearing them.



  • This is what one of my best friends Kelly got me for Christmas. It is a Poinsettia, the leaves turn red at Christmas/Winter time. I love it :) I now have 9 plants in my windowsill haha


  • Another friend got me the most useful Christmas present. She knows I want to paint my room so she got me paint and painting accessories ^. The paint is with her at the moment because it was too heavy to bring in!

  • We had a student from Plymouth University (My first choice) come in and talk to us, basically about everything. It scared me to death and I didn't want to go Uni, but afterwards I spoke to her and asked questions, which made me feel better :)
  • Falmouth University is the one University I haven't heard from yet (The rest giving me conditionals) and they want to do an interview. I am terrified as I haven't done one before. All the other Universities didn't need to interview me.

  • I am now on Christmas holidays which normally is a good time but this year I have to revise for my January exams and do my Media coursework. I'm planning on doing 2-3 hours of revision each day. I'm so annoyed with Media because it's getting in the way of my revision.

The Pink Cow Vanilla Biscuit shower gel

Price: £2.99 (Currently on offer at Boots for £2)

'The Pink Cow Vanilla Biscuit shower gel:

1. Please don't eat this product.... Its only for your skin only.
2. Tested on us not animals.
3. Suitable for vegetarians.
4. Our fragrance is allergen free.'


There are two things I look for in a shower gel and they are: To have a delicious scent and to lather well. Vanilla is my favourite scent so this definitely has the first quality, it smells amazing! Even if this shower gel didn't lather well, I think I would still buy it because the scent is that good. Luckily though, this does lather well. I'm sat here smelling yummy and feeling soft :)

Other fragrances include: Lemon Cheesecake, Strawberry Sundae, Coconut Creme and Mint Candy. I'm definitely going to re-purchase and try the other scents.
