Moving

Sorry I've been MIA.

We got the keys to the flat on friday (the 13th nonetheless!) so been crazy busy moving stuff in and decorating etc. I'll post some photos soon.

I sold my car Friday too so sorting out my new one, more chaos!

Annnnd packing for holiday...it's neverending at the moment.

I have a much needed day off tomorrow and after a killer session at the gym I'll catch up with some posts

xXx

Packing, Work and the general joys of being young...

It seems I have been neglecting my poor blog this week :(

To be quite honest it feels like once again I have no time to do anything!

I want to get some nail varnish and other make up reviews up soon especially with all my new eyeshadows, OPI varnishes and my newly established love for lipstick.

Since my birthday I've been basically doing the same old with work, gym and seeing my boyfriend. But it's been awkward to do the last thing as his parents are away for two weeks so he has to stay home, fair enough a free house but he only has a single bed and we tried an air bed....bad sleep!

I've been trying to get in as much gym time as possible at the moment with the holiday getting closer (yay!) but still feel a bit like I'm getting no where....I think it might be my diet and vow to improve it and stick with it for the next couple of weeks before we go. I have however managed to run for 10mins solid which is a huge achievement for me as I couldn't even do 1min without wanting to die 2 months ago :)

Oh that reminds me, anyone have any tips for sticking with healthy eating on a budget and when u work long, stressful shifts right next door to a MacDonalds (the devils!!)???

I started packing this week, I'm one of those people who love to pack about a month in advance! I do have a reason this time though as I'm moving out soon so there's no point in packing to unpack to then pack it again....it's so exciting to get all the pretty dresses and summery clothes out, especially with the rain at the moment...bleurgh! I'm so excited for our holiday, been writing out shopping lists and plans of attack for the malls, I'm just too awesome!

Should be hopefully moving out next week if all goes well. We bought some paint for the flat on Saturday and decided on wallpaper etc. for the living room. I managed to weedle some pink into the bedroom woop :) happy bunny!

Oooh I actually went out on Saturday night for my birthday, I'm not much of a drinker/partier so very rarely go out drinking with the friends. I prefer to stay in with the bf and chill with a film. I had an amazing time though and really enjoyed seeing some friends I haven't seen in a while :) I've also promised myself to go out more often!! Means more excuses to buy shoes :P

As from today I have roughly 6 days off from work so should be hopefully doing some reviews and posts of more interest than these 'What I've been up to...' posts :)

Just a quick OOTD from the other day

I think I was just shopping, looking for new bikinis. Was just meant to be popping into Tesco's and came out with too much! The clothes were in the sale though, the shoes weren't :/ my bad! I have a bit of a problem!

Top: New Look

Cardigan: Topshop

Skirt: Primark

Leggings: New Look

I changed the skirt a bit later to a denim one when I popped into town to nose the new additions to the Topshop sale, didn't find much just a cardi, waistcoat and strapless top. Still got £40 of vouchers left which I plan to keep until I find the right navy coat for winter in there.

I wore this then to the cinema with my Mum to see Cats and Dogs 2 :) and Inception after. I love seeing kiddie films with my Mum we're both such big kids!

I got some more MAC Pigment pots through the post and tried something a bit more adventurous for me, some colour! I think it looked alright, not too bright and in your face...

And here are some pictures from my birthday night out:

Me and my two best mates Sophie and Kat

I'm rather drunk here (the pictures aren't in order!) doing the Macarena

Me and Parijat, an old school mate I recently got back in contact with

With the besties again

A loooovely close up courtesy of the bf

Annnnd me and my boyfriend Gavin (of course pulling a funny face!)

Is anyone else already getting excited for Christmas? No? Just me then! I love it :D

My Birthday

For my birthday I spent the day doing things I love....going to the gym, shopping, seeing my KittyKat and my boyfriend, and spending time with my family at our favourite restaurant. I had an amazing birthday, but feel old now!

Skirt: New Look

Top: Primark (which I proceeded to spill baked beans down...)

Cardigan: Topshop

Necklace: Accessorize

Handbag: Luella, this is my baby and I love it!
Excuse the boobs lol!!

Of course being my birthday I was a very happy Belley :D

I did some pre-birthday shopping the other day and this is the result....

Handbag £16 Accessorize

Nude pumps £8 New Look

Earrings £3.60 Accessorize

Necklace £3.60 Accessorize

Ted Baker purse. This is gorgeous! I love it :)

£41

The inside of the purse :)

And these are all the goodies I bought on my birthday. I bought a lovely purple maxi dress too but forgot to take a photo, I plan to wear it tomorrow so will do an outfit post with it.

Shirt £22 New Look

I know this is rather childish :P but I love pandas and needed an earring holder :) I love it

Two models own nail varnishes 2 for £8 in Very Cherry Pie and a teal colour

Popped into Bodyshop and used my card thingy as it's my bday I got £5 off anything in store and 10% off the difference so this Body and leg shine stick was only £5ish, Kat got one too so I got a free £8 moisture rich lipstick as we bought two make up items. Awesome!

This is the first year I'm going on holiday and intend to wear a bikini, I hate my body but am determined I'll get more confidence.

Went into Debenhams first and I got rather depressed with the bikinis and how they looked on me :( so when we popped into Boots and I saw they and half price on bikinis I snapped these two up for £8 each. When I got them home and tried them on I felt really good in them and can't wait to wear them on holiday :) happy happy happy!!!

Mum taking sneaky pictures whilst I was opening presents (to come in a later post)

Alice in Wonderland palette. I know this has been out for ages but I really wanted one before but wasn't into make up then so I persuaded Mum to buy me one for my bday :D Yay

8:00 in the morning does not agree with me!

I have a habit of putting things on my head...Kat got me lots of lovely things and knowing that I love baking I got this uber cute pink bowl :)

Isn't she sexy :P

Fooling around before going out for dinner

I am one sexxxxy beast

'Here come the girls' can't wait for our holiday! Only 24 days!

Me and my boyfriend at the Smith and Western. Loving my pink hat :P

Opening the present Gavin got me....a Roberts DAB radio!!! Ahhh it's just amazing! And he got it in the Duck egg blue I loved in the shop which he told me I wasn't allowed to get lol! I'll put a better photo of the actual radio up at some point. I seriously cannot wait to get in my little kitchen in the flat with this playing in the background, my cute little apron and all my baking goodies : ) Very exciting!

So that was my birthday....I've still got a few more presents to come so I'll post them another day. Going out for my birthday on Saturday so I'm trying to decide what to wear. At the moment I've got a bright pink dress from Next but I think it might be too much...I'm confused!!

Anywho I'm shattered and having a training session at 10am tomorrow so byeee x

OOTD 31st July

I know I'm a bit late posting this but this is my outfit from Saturday. My family and I went out for a meal to commemorate the anniversary of my Nanny's death. It's a tough day for all of us so we try and spend it together. Unfortunately my work decided to make me work the evening so I couldn't stay as long as I wanted which sucked to be honest. The restaurant we went to was so so so lovely and had a dog fun day thing going on too which was just too cute! They were playing a game similar to musical chairs with the dogs and there was this little dachshund which was the most adorable thing ever...I am so getting one! Anywho enough rambling here's my outfit :D

Dress: Topshop

Cardigan: New Look

Necklace: Topshop

I wore leggings and nude pumps as well :)

Close up of my face...

Me and my lovely Grandad, I love him oodles

Me and my beautiful Mummy

This picture is just too cute :)

My cousin Kayla in the middle with her Shit-zu Malibu and two of the young girls we were with either side. This photo just makes me smile :D

Got lots of photos of my birthday events and presents and shopping day splurges to come but I have work tomorrow early and am off to watch big brother and go to sleep...shame the boyfriend's gone home, no cuddles for me :( sad times

It's my birthday!

It's my 20th birthday today :)

I'm off to the gym and when I get back I shall post a few blog entries
