Week in pictures 14/07/2014

Started the week right with a Starbucks salad (all hail Starbucks for their perfect salad combos!) then Tuesday was chill day and Wednesday was full of dancing and jogging!

Going on to Thursday and went for a 3 hour walk with my friends

Friday myself and Abbie went for a jog!

Then we get to Sunday and I travelled up to Leeds to see my old housemates and went for lunch with Kim!

(We won at beer pong, girls are better than guys!!)

Finishing my Sunday with a lovely sunset from the train x

Who doesn't need new stationary?

So I recently got my 2nd year grade from University and obviously stocked up on nesessities to be able to survive third year. Those essential ingredients to be able to tackle all lectures, exciting or boring, and bright colourful stationary allows you to handle note taking a little more easily knowing it's going into pretty paper. 

So for anyone going to university/college soon, trust me when I say you will need endless amounts of paper and pens to get you through the year! I went through 2-3 notebooks and a millions pens in second year alone. And also the fact third year is 100000x harder than second, and more note taking and scribbling down stuff will be taking place. 

So I decided to get stationary, already prepared for October and it's months away (credit for organisation skills). 

Starting off with notebooks, three notebooks to be exact. 

The bottom one: A4 Oxford notebook- Asda £3

Middle: A5 Cath Kidston- £8

Top: A5 Sainsburys- £3

EVERYONE needs post it's!

Folders: All Cath Kidston- £9 for 2

Document Wallets: Cath Kidston- £7 for 4

And lastly lots of pens!! 

I hope you guys all got the grades you needed if you're in/going to university/college!

Until next time lovelies x

July Wishlist

Along with every other blogger this month my usual monthly wish list includes one or two items I've spotted from the AW14 collection that is not yet available, so I apologise in advance and we can envy those who already own the items, lucky lucky people!

On a brighter note hey, hello, hi! It seems like forever since my last blog post, I plan them and time just flies by without my actually typing away and staring at a screen for hours! Little life update: I passed my second year of University, one step closer to becoming a primary school teacher!!! Cue celebrations.

Yeah, well anyway, back to July wish list, this one was a little hard. I'm in need of a few new pretty and petite dresses for my Summer, going into Autumn collection, but they are so impossible to find. It seems like every store has just forgotten up update their stock in the last month or so, then comes the first world issues of not having my size when I do find something worth splashing out for!

Firsty up is lovely little Topshop. My favourite place.

Leaf Print Overlay Crinkle Sundress, £38

Tapestry Print Sundress, £36

Flower Jacquard A-Line Skirt, £35

Next up, Miss Selfridge:

Then a little teaser of the Nars AW14 collection, I am so desperate for this little compact! 

Last but definitely not least is my Sephora basket, and all you Americans will have no idea how jealous I am that you live close to these stores! This basket will be full for a long time until I can justify spending an awful lot on shipping :( Seriously cannot wait to get my hands on a TARTE Lights, Camera, Splashes though! 

And i'm going to have to quickly dash off and get ready for dancing, so I shall leave you with a little delight that I recently purchased the Bumble and Bumble Surf Set from Boots for £18, and My next blog post will probably be a review of that set! 

Until next time, Lovelies x

Healthy living, healthy lifestyle!

This past week I've taken it upon myself to go all out and try to find what is causing my migraines! In order to do this, I've changed my whole diet and exercise regime! I already ate quite healthy, but with too much brown bread/pasta, and other naughty treats! 

My new diet routine has consisted if a lot of different types of salads, fresh fish (including a lot of salmon), homemade
soups or stuffed vegetables as meals, Nakd bars, nuts and almonds as snacks, a lot of different fruit (this was already part of my diet), oats, fruits or smoothies for breakfast, almond milk instead of normal milk and so on. 

As well as eating healthier meals, cutting out wheat and starch, I've taken up dancing and jogging again. Before university these activities would be a little on the side hobby. I used to dance for at least 5-6 hours a week, and then I moved away from home and did 0! Seeing as in living at home this year and travelling up to university I thought it be best I rejoined dancing (adult classes this time though :( ) and took up jogging and joined another gym! 

The sportswear brand I went for was USA PRO, and they are seriously the most comfortable running wear I have every come across!!

As well as eating healthy and taking up for exercise, I also feel better about my body, my confidence is slowly growing and my mood has increased to being happy nearly all of the time! It really has made quite a change to my lifestyle. 

Do you have any healthy lifestyle tips and tricks?

Until next time lovelies x
