So the other week I was invited to the Bloggers Festival in London by the beautiful Scarlett, and it was the first type of blog event I'd been to and can I just say it was AMAZING. It was super nice to meet so many bloggers and companies, and to get to talk to all these different people. I'd also like to give a huge thank you to Cat and Tania for keeping me company for the day, they were so lovely and helped make me feel comfortable. This post is going to be rather long so I apologize in advance, but I took a fair few photos and I wanted to include them all!

Hey guys, so recently the fabulous french company La Redoute got in touch with me and asked me join them with their 'Language of Love' campaign, and this post is a tad late done due to the fact that I've been super busy, but I couldn't say no. I don't think we tell people quite enough that we love them, I love you, 3 simple words that mean so much, yet not many of us share them.
A survey came back showing that 82% of us would love to hear those words every single day, when in fact only a tiny amount of 30% of us say it that often. I personally didn't realize the number's were so small, and it makes me kind of sad. There's a lot of people I love in my life, and they all mean to the world to me. My Mum, my Dad, my friends, my siblings and my Grandparents, and I think we should all show the love more, after all, those 3 simple words can make someones day. So next time you're with someone you love, or talking to someone who means a lot to you, just tell them how much you love them, it only takes a single minute yet will warm their heart.
I personally loved the idea of this campaign, we Brits definitely need to share the love more than we do. Down below I've linked the #LanguageofLove campaign video and I'd really recommend you watch it, it may or may not have brought a tear to my eye.
You can find the website for the campaign here, and don't forget, tell someone you love them today.

If you've been hanging round the bloggersphere for a while now then you may have heard about this product, but if you haven't then it is wonderful. This is the first cleansing water I've tried, as it was only just under £4 in boots for a rather big bottle, it claims that you can get 200 odd uses out of it, but I'd say that that's maybe pushing it a bit far, however it does last an awful long time and you do only need to use small amounts.
This product is a godsend for removing makeup, I often struggle to take my eyeliner off, especially as I wear so much, but this takes it off perfectly. I just put a dab on a cotton pad, place it over my eye, gently press for a few seconds and remove it and bam, the majority of its gone.
It does leave my face feeling nice and refreshed, it's fit perfectly into both my morning and night time routines and I love it dearly. It doesn't smell of much which I quite like, it'd be horrible for it to have an overpowering smell. It's not a 'works wonders for your skin' product, so if you're looking for something like that then this might not be for you, but it's great for the simple things and for such a cheap price I really can't flaw it.

I've had this product for around a year now and it's like a god send. I suffer from rather severe dry skin and scaring so my Mum went out and bought me this, I use it daily and it's just insane.
It comes in a rather big bottle, 400ml, and you have to use a wand to scoop it out. I'm not overly too keen on that whole concept, as it's rather hard to actually get out sometimes, especially when there's less in the bottle, but that's probably all I can flaw with it.
A little goes a long way with this, although I do find it feels kinda greasy on my skin sometimes, and it's super easy to accidentally use too much, it minimizes scarring after very few uses, and really helps soften dry skin.
It smells absolutely heavenly, it definitely sticks to the whole 'cocoa butter' smell, and isn't too overpowering either. It says it's recommended for stretch marks, which I've never used it for, so I can't really comment on that, but overall this is a wonderful product. In the year I've had it I'm still using the same bottle, I probably have just under a half left, and it was pretty cheap too, you can get it from most drugstores.

Hey guys, this post is very very different and I'm not too sure on how it's going to go but I thought I'd try it. Now you may or may not have heard of the wonderful John Green, he runs a Youtube channel with his brother Hank and he happens to be one of my favourite authors ever.
There's something oddly relaxing about the pattering of the rain on your
window when you're sitting inside all cosy and warm. The howling of
wind on those dark stormy nights, weather that's meant to be foreboding,
a signal of something bad. But yet it makes you think, it makes you
feel. Personally it gives me a false sense of security. My house is
protecting me from all the bad that lies waiting outside. I feel like if
I'm in here and the bad is out there then I'm safe, and that's all
there is to it.
I've never done one of these posts before, but I thought it's about time I did. Like most of us, I'm a HUGE music fan and I wanted to share with you some albums I've been loving in the past month!
Ed Sheeran: "Sing" - This album was only released on 23rd of June this year and I am in love. I adore Ed Sheerans music and this is my favourite album of his by far. If you haven't got it yet I really really recommend it, it completes me.
Arctic Monkeys: "AM" - This was released in September of last year and I've been in love with it since. The music is very chilled and I'm generally a huge fan of them.
Bastille: "Bad Blood" - Ever since this was released in March 2013 I've barely stopped listening to it. Usually if you listen to songs too much you get bored of them, but I've not had that with any of the songs on this album. Bastille are amazing and I really really need to see them live.
Andrew Belle: "Black bear" - I think this was released in August of last year, and I've only heard it recently. A friend in college made me listen to the song 'in my veins' at the end of last year and I fell in love, then a few months ago this year I googled if he had an album, which of course he did, downloaded it and adored it. He's not a huge mainstream artist which is kinda cool, and I really hope he releases more.
So this post was kinda different but I hoped you enjoyed it, I liked writing it and I'm definitely interested in writing more like it in the future.

Considering I'm unemployed and a bit too old to receive pocket money I think I'm dreaming a tad with this wishlist but hey, you never know, right?
I am honestly in LOVE with these 2 Marvel tops from Forever 21, they are beautiful and I want to cry just looking at them, let alone owning them!
I'm terrible when it comes to my makeup routine, I can never stick with one. One day I'll be happy with a product and the next I'll be digging out a different one from my stash and using that, and then ending up switching back. However recently I appear to have settled into a nice routine, it may not be completely finished yet but we're getting there, and here it is :)
Throughout June I bought a LOT of books, so instead of doing individual hauls I thought I'd do one big one. This post may be kinda long so I apologize in advance if you're not the keenest on long hauls but I'll try and get it down as quickly as possible!
The other day I happened to be scrolling through my Facebook feed (Yes I still use it!) and I saw a lovely friend of mine (@charlottekaye) post a Summer bucketlist. I've never thought of writing a time based one, yes I have a general bucketlist, but reading hers inspired me to write my own, and here it is!
1. Have a Pizza Party
2. Go on a late night adventure around London
3. Spend a whole day watching Disney films
4. Go to Summer In The City
5. Have a bonfire with friends
6. Vlog at least 10 outings
7. Fall asleep under the stars
8. Go on a coffee date in a unique and differently style shop with a friend
9. Go to McDonalds at 1am.
10. Go to a psychic
11. Make a short film
12. Go on at least 2 photography outings
13. Visit somewhere abandoned
14. Climb to the very top of a tree
15. Have a picnic in a park
16. Finish my book
17. Be on a beach at night
18. Go out for dinner with a friend
I'm hoping to accomplish at least half of these (so at least 6), should be easy surely? Do any of you have a Summer bucketlist? Be sure to let me know, I'd love to read other peoples, it's always nice. I'm going to start motivating myself to upload here at least twice a week so follow me on bloglovin if you're interested, there's a button in my sidebar. Thanks for reading!
