night routine (weekdays)

I have been looking forward to doing this post for ever! Today I have finally have my nighttime routine for you all to look at. I do still find it a bit weird how it is popular to share what you do when you get in, but you know, it seems to work. This is what I do on a weekday so it isn't even that exciting... ah well. Hope you enjoy...

Ok so when I first get in I do any work that I have been set, catch up with course work or attempt to do some revision! And yes, the photo displays some uber exciting chemistry work on chromatography... yay!!!! NO.

I then try and take my dog a walk, if I have time after my torturous work. I have a cocker spaniel and he is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen in my whole life. He is my pride and joy. ITS SO FLUFFY I AM GOING TO DIE. I hope you get that reference lol. 

OOH EXCITING FACT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!!!! I play the clarinet and so every night I practice my pieces for my next grade. I have played for ten years and also play saxophone! So there you go- something new about me! I actually have a random video on youtube of me playing sax! If you want to hear it, it is HERE. Skip to about 20 seconds for it to start...

By now its usually time for tea. My dad makes the nicest meals and this was a roast we had the other day. It was gorgeous!

This is when I have the opportunity to scroll aimlessly through instagram and Facebook and twitter (insta and Facebook are my personal accounts so no links there sorry). and Yes, i did search for the hashtag nightphotography because the photos are always super pretty!

I then have a bath or a shower. I take my makeup off with Garnier Micellar water but I forgot to take a photo sorrryyyyyy. At the moment, I am using TRESemmè Salon Silk shampoo and Garnier Ultimate blends conditioner. They are really good! Not an ad!

I am currently OBSESSED with the Body Shops Mango range! It smells amazing! No joke, this is my second bottle in like two months and it usually takes me ages to get through shower gel. So if you are looking for a good shower gel, I highly recommend the Body Shop.

When I get out of the shower/bath, I towel dry my hair and then brush it through to get all the knots out. Once smooth, I take a tiny bit of Moroccan Oil in my hands and pull my fingers through the ends of my hair to make it extra soft. I then obviously dry it! 


Usually by now it is time for bed, so I am most likely to have a few chocolate digestives and then brush my teeth and also sort out my braces. You will never understand how weird it was trying to get a good photo of my toothbrush! 

Finally, just before I go to bed, I like to read as it gets my mind in a sleepy place and I also absolutely love reading! At the moment, I am reading the Mother and Daughter Diaries by Claire Shaw. Quite a deep book, but if you are into that sort of thing, you will love it! 

In the last photo, you can see my new wallpaper! Not at all exciting for you but reaaaally exciting for me! Unless you are wanting a room tour? Maybe soon!
Hope you enjoyed my little routine,
See you soon,

city haul

Hey! Happy November. I went shopping with my best friend to our nearest city last week and accidentally brought quite a lot! So, I now have some bits I can show you for a haul! Enjoy...

Okay so where I went, there is a massive Primark so we had a bit of a mad trying-on-clothes spree and I ended up buying 2 coats! This first one is quite thin and would be nice for walking around an indoor place and it was £23 reduced to £10! How could I say no?!

The other coat I brought was a bit more fancy. It is this maroony-brown colour and has a big fur collar which you can take off and on. It is so warm but also quite comfy! This was £28.

I went into Wilkinsons to get the last few bits for my new room (room tour soon maybe?!) and I fell in love with this chandelier! It only cost £30 but the thing I would watch out for is that its really hard to assemble!

Also from Wilko's, I picked up this whicker bin for £2.50 to go under my desk. Not very exciting but it was something I brought. 

Superdrug have a 3 for 2 deal on beauty at the moment, and if you buy 3 beauty products you get a free canvas bag! So, I decided to do the deal! Firstly, I got this dark pink nail paint from Barry M in the classic style for £2.99.

I also picked up this highlighter from Make up Revolution for £3.99 and it is so good! It is one of the only highlighters I have tried that stands out on my skin tone.

Finally, I picked up an eyeshadow palette from Make up Revolution in the shade Ionic 1. These shades are so nice! They sort of remind me of the ones from Naked but they are so much cheaper. This cost me £4. I love it! 

Continuing the make up front, I went into Mac and couldn't resist making a little purchase! I realised I was lacking on my matte lipsticks so I picked up this gorgeous muted pink shade called Mehr and this cost the same as the other Mac lipsticks; £15.50. 

I then went into Waterstones and brought Zoella's new book, Girl Online:On Tour. Don't worry I am not going to give any spoilers! I brought this on Friday, it is now Sunday and I have finished it! I fell in love with Noah and Penny from the original book and have been dying to read this one! I absolutely love Zoe Sugg and it is amazing that she has written 2 brilliant books! Penny reminds me of myself a bit, a secret blogger.. if I only I could meet a Noah of my own! Also, if you buy it from Waterstones there is a bonus chapter (YOU NEED TO READ THE BONUS CHAPTER OMG) and at the moment it is £6.50.

Finally, my favourite purchase, I brought my first thing ever from Pandora. Me and my friend are buying each other a ring for Christmas so the one in the photo is actually hers but we got identical ones! We chose our own ring and then we paid for each others. Our rings cost £35 each and they are the ones with the little hearts all the way round. Cute! 

Hope you enjoyed this random haul,
speak soon
