Life Update 2016 1.0

Here comes the life update I just promised!
Be prepared for... actually not much, but be prepared anyway.

The year kicked off with a lovely trip to Lake Tahoe in California/Nevada (it's on the border), and we celebrated New Year there. On return, exam period commenced with much stress, as it does.




After an extra pinch of stress and house-drama, the partying and semi-relaxing began, with a trip to hand-feed some red deer and see some adorable otters! You have no idea how much I love these animals, they're definitely two of my many favourite species. Also have a bonus picture of a robin, because he looks cool.




This trip was, of course, followed by more drinking, country gig-going, and dissertation writing, which was again closely followed by a lot (I mean lot) of uni work and money-earning work. We also snuck in a quick trip to Alton Towers and to see the new Jungle Book movie, alongside a few other social events and barbecues since the weather was actually nice for some very extremely strange reason. 

It also wouldn't be right to go a year without my laptop breaking again, and so it died sometime in April. Bye bye hard drive and wifi chip, again. I ended up saying goodbye to my laptop, and using pretty much my life savings, buy a new one. RIP old laptop.

To make things even better, we also got burgled in May, losing our TV and a bottle of milk... Why they drank a bottle of milk is something we will forever be asking.

And so, I think that brings us up to now - my uni exams are done, my nail course is done and has gone away for assessment, my house mates have moved out and I get to sit here alone for a couple of weeks contemplating life and naily fun things to share with you guys.

In which case, I'm gonna go and do some nails, and catch you very, very soon.

Mail: Rimmel Velvet Matte Midnight Kiss Swatch!

Hello everyone! Before we get started, it's very very nice to see you all here- my hugest apologies for being so bad with posting lately. Moving away from home really takes it out of you, and my Uni's "Welcome Week" timetable was craaazy! Though I got to go to Chester zoo... Which was awesome! Anyway, let's crack on with the post shall we?  Today, I'm bringing to you a recent release and purchase. Rimmel London's "Velvet Matte" polishes were released alongside their new Matte Apocolips range, and a new selection of some "Rimmel by Kate" products!  I purchased three new polishes- two Velvet Matte's in the shade "Midnight Kiss" and "Sumptuous Red" (love the names!) which are a dark blue and pinky-purple, and also a new Salon Pro by Kate called "Saturn" which looks amazing.  Today, I'm swatching Midnight Kiss for you guys, but keep an eye out for the other two coming this week! ...

Get those Jumpers Out!

Before we fully get started here, I'd like to apologise for missing two of my usual posting slots (Friday and Monday) - things have been a little hectic with Uni work and also with looking for a house to live in next year. Thankfully all is sorted with the house now, so I just have this and a ton of uni work to settle for! And on that note- on with the post! So it's creeping well into December, it's feeling pretty Wintery outside... what are you waiting for? Go grab those Christmas jumpers from your wardrobe- or better yet- wear them on your nails!
