Soap and Glory goodies!

Note: Not all photos are my own, underneath I will state which do not belong to me :)

`You may remember I previously done a post on a Soap & Glory mini scrub called "Scrub 'Em and Leave 'Em" a while back, it was only a small tub but it smelt like vanilla and made my skin feel amazing!

 I've been meaning to purchase some more Soap & Glory products but never had the chance so when I opened a gift from my friends which was a Soap & Glory Birthday Box I was so shocked! What a coincidence haha! So grateful.

The goodies came in such a cute pink box with a ribbon around it!

Included in the box:

• "Clean On Me" creamy clarifying shower gel 500ml
• "The Righteous Butter" Body butter 300ml
• One pink shower puff!

(All rights reserved to photographer)

Clean On Me shower gel has a built in moisturiser so it leaves your skin feeling so soft after a shower and teaming it with the body butter makes you feel like you have silk for skin lol! honest! Fantastic for the colder months ahead which leave your skin dryer than normal.

It retails alone for £6 and is a large bottle. The scent is absolutely gorgeous and is really refreshing when you have a morning shower...so fruity. This product won a "COMPANY Beauty" Award in 2012 and I 100% know why. I really look forward to my showers now haha,

Say hello to super soft skin!

Another award winning product here! The Righteous Butter won a "Woman & Home" Best in Beauty award in 2012! What a great year for the brand. 

Alone it retails at £10.50 so is a bargain to come in a set! This body butter is a favourite of mine 100%, even over my Body Shop Shea Butter! The product isn't too runny or too thick and feels perfect on your skin!

Soap and Glory is a brand well worth checking out in Boots if you haven't already! Fantastic value for money and you skin will thank you truuuust me!

They have a broad range of products from fake tan and lip gloss to body scrubs, travel kits, wrinkle filler and products for other problem areas...take a look here!

I am 20!!

Yaaay I turned 20 on August 30th! I am so grateful to God because I didn't even have to make it this far!

I had such a great birthday, it started at work on the 29th when my boyfriend came in with a bunch of roses and a badge for me! It was lovely! My colleagues were all like "awwwww" lol! also that night some of my friends came over for a girlie movie night!

I made my own "cocktail" lool it was supposed to be rum, sugar, cranberry juice and sparking water but silly me accidentally bought cranberry juice DRINK instead of just juice (and we all know there is a huge difference in taste lol) and I also bought soda water instead of sparkling and it didn't stay fizzy :( However with copious amounts of rum and sugar it ended up tasting lush! I was very pleased. My sister also had the idea to buy lime for the glasses and they ended up looking lovely!

We watched "Lottery Ticket" (Bow Wow✓) and also a film called "Dysfunctional Friends" which my friend recommended and was really good! We munched away, laughed loads and had a whale (Whale? Wale? Wail?) of a time!

The next day me and my sister went out to town to shop and get cake and tea! I got a lush Japanese Cherry Blossom body mist from The Body Shop (more details soon) and we had so much fun!

Me with my balloon from Kai! :D

We then went to The Marlowes Restaurant for lunch and had a blast! There was about 10 of us and the staff didn't mind us making loads of noise and also didn't mind us bringing our own wine! I had the southern fried chicken with curly fries and coleslaw, the chicken was a bit dry but the rest was lush!

The meal was £12.95, it would have been £8.50 for a main and dessert (lunch menu) but as we bought our own wine we had to order from the normal one but was still great!

We all decided we would split then meet back at mine for pre-drinks before going to The Cuban!

Red Velvet Cake with chocolate covered strawbs  courtasy of my friend Nicole! Place your orders guys! lol

My friends all pitched in to get us a private table with champagne and it was so nice! :'")

The next day I slobbed out with a pizza, "Americas Next Top Model" and the boyfriend until the afternoon when I went back home to visit my family for the week which was also awesome as it was my brother and my mums birthday whilst I was there!

Here's to being 20!

God Bless

Healthy living: Snack tip!

Chocolate lovers this one is for you! Having a sweet tooth and craving chocolate can often lead to unhealthy eating which can throw us off track (trust me I know haha) however there are somethings we can do to extinguish the cravings and not feel guilty!

  Today I discovered these awesome biscuits by Special K and they are only 98 calories per two biscuits! Perfect! They may not look it but they are soooo chocolatey and taste delicious!!

I also saw that my friend Melv'yn posted a yummy dinner pic on instagram and I tried to recreate it haha, its strawberries,  scrambled egg with orange peppers and salad, I added some curried prawns after too! Yum!

As im on 12-4's all this week at work I've decided to hit the gym before instead of after as sometimes after work I'm far too tired and talk myself out of it *covers face* but I like going in the morning as it gives me a clear head and makes me feel refreshed and pumped!

What time of day do you workout?

P.S my laptop is getting repaired and im writing this on my phone just in case the layout looks dodgey ha ha

God bless

Update!: Hair, weight loss, movies, summer etc

Apologies for being away for a while! Started a new job in a cafe which is great but sometimes I feel too tired to do much else haha anyway here's what's been going on with me!


I have my natural hair out:

By natural I mean my real hair not my real texture (It's relaxed) if that makes sense, had weave in for quite a while so fancied a break! May switch it up before my birthday.

I'm trying to lose a bit of weight/tone up before my birthday:

Currently on day 4 and will keep you posted! I created a calender for this month so I can check what I've been eating and tick off the days I've worked out etc. I'm making sure I go to the gym at least 5 x a week and will try and eat healthy as often as I can (Chocolate has been my weaaaakness lately, goodness lol). My goal is to firm up my arms, trim down my tummy and thighs and hopefully reveal some cheek bone haha.

Example of a typical dinner: Prawn, Bacon & Chickpea salad with some low fat chocolate mousse for dessert...yum! Surprisingly filling

Summer update:

Can you believe how fast this Summer has gone!?! I've been staying in Canterbury as I am working here now..woohoo! I miss my family like you wouldn't believe and was gutted to miss my brothers graduation of his Masters (congratulationssss!:D) but besides that I've had a good time here! My bf and close group of friends at uni are still here and we've done things like gone to play snooker, darts, went to the zoo, cinema, out for dinner..its been fun!

Chocolat:

Can't believe how late I am a discovering the film Chocolat with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche it's an amazing film about a chocolatier and her daughter and how they try and settle into a small French town. Johnny Depp plays "Roux" and looks FANTASTIC lol! It's a great film, a new favourite.

Sooo enough about me...how are you?:)

God Bless

My first wish list!!

(None of the below pictures belong to me)
I've never done a post like this but pay day is drawing near (wahooooooooo!!) and I have a few things on my mind that I really would love to purchase, I highly doubt I will get them all at once but it doesn't hurt to get them down on (electronic) paper haha.

1) MAC Matchmaster foundation £27

I got a tester from my local MAC counter & fell in love with this foundation! I believe I am shade 8.5 and I can't wait to get it! Let's just hope it really is a "Matchmaster" because I have a tendency to get foundations in slightly the wrong shade lol

2) White Blazer Zara £49.99

White blazers are gorgeous and a great staple to have! I hardly ever buy items of clothing over £30 but for this I sooooo would lol. I can imagine pairing it with a pair of jeans and black heels*day dreamssss*

Not sure if this is the exact blazer I tried on in Zara but it is very similar.

3) Vera Wang Pink Princess Eau de toilette £24 - £35 depending on shop & bottle size

So I was taking a walk through Boots and the display for this perfume really caught my eye! The bottle is pretty and typically girlie and the scent is incredible! It's floral & fruity at the same time and one spray lasted for ages!

4) Revlon ColourBurst Lip butters £7.99

My lips cannot deal with anything drying on them as they are already pretty dry so when I saw these are lip butters and give you great colour and moisture I had to add them to my list! Apparently they are really pigmented too which is always a plus! Haven't decided on which colour though.

5) Winged/ Cat eye sunglasses

I'm not 100% sure if "winged" is the correct term for these glasses as I kept finding glasses with actual wings designs on them LOL but I love the shape of these frames and would totally wear them this summer even just on the way to work haha!

Lush!! If you know where I can get a pair similar to these please let me know!

6) Tickets to Hawaii or Cuba for me & my closest friends

Ah one day, one day :")

So what do you think of my list? I'm sureee there is more but I can't remember lol

Anything you would advise against or recommend?

God Bless
