Hearts and Gems mini haul*






I have been a big fan of Hearts and Gems jewellery for quite some time, every time their jewellery popped up on my Instagram feed I was more than happy to click on their profile and have a mooch. Obviously when I got offered to feature some of their stunning products on my blog, I leapt at the opportunity! They sent me 3 really sweet pieces of jewellery.

The one kind of necklace that I fall in love with time and time again has to be crystal point necklaces. I love every point necklace under the sun and I already have an amethyst one but when I saw this opalite one on the Hearts and Gems Instagram page I fell hopelessly for it because it was a bit more interesting than clear quartz and needed it in my jewellery collection. The chain and casing for the necklace are both silver plated making it perfect for me because I am not a massive fan of gold jewellery.


This ring is defiantly in my top 5 favourite rings that I own, the main bit of the ring is simple and thin, with a point in the middle. Underneath the point there is a small and delicate round moonstone that adds a bit more femininity to the ring. It’s made out of starling silver meaning I can wear it every day without fail and it won't turn my finger green after wearing it for a few hours! Such a dainty little ring, perfect for accessorising outfits that have a lot going on!

I asked Hearts and Gems to send me a surprise as my last item and much to my delight they sent another sterling silver ring. In my opinion you can never have too many rings, it’s not like they take up much space so why not start a collection! This ring is absolutely stunning but also very simple, around the face of the ring there is small little engravings that add texture and shadows to the ring, as it's not a statement piece you can stack others on top of it to give it a cool BoHo feel!



I want to thank Hearts and Gems for sending me such stunning and good quality pieces. If you are looking for any jewellery whatsoever, whether it be an event or you just want to treat yourself to a few everyday items then this shop should definitely be one of the first places you peruse! The quality and price of the product can not be questioned!

Mini BooHoo t-shirt haul

I love this time of year, everywhere has sales, even the online shops that have sales anyway but this time of year, they’re twice as big. I have a new found love for online shopping at the moment, especially on BooHoo, as you will know if you are one of the amazing people follow me on twitter. When I was most recently surfing the internet for cute products at minuscule prices I stumbled across 3 T-shirts that I looked at and thought “I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE WITH £1.99 NEXT DAY DELIVERY.” And so, I bought them.


Simple but sweet
The first t-shirt I purchased is a very simple but cute top, it is insanely soft, like, I can’t even explain. This t-shirt is plain white for the main body, BORING you might be thinking but I disagree, because the detailing on each hem  of the product adds a stylish edge to this “plain white t”. Around the neck and arm holes of the shirt and the bottom hem there is a small black piece of fabric, really making the top stand out for me. Also due to it being black and white, IT GOES WITH EVERYTHING so why wouldn’t you want this shirt? Especially at the price of £4


Not your Babe
This top is another white top with black detailing, but this time it’s a small piece of text on the left breast of the t-shirt. The words simply say “Not your babe”. One of my pet peeves is when people who don’t even know me call me babe, there is an extensive list of examples, such as bus drivers, shop assistants, bouncers and creepy peeps on the street. I simply HAD to buy it at £5.


The F word
The final top of this mini haul is the exact opposite of white, black. This is a simple t-shirt with a slogan printed on the front in big, white, capital letters. It simple reads Fashion is my second favourite F word (my first, of course, is food. Duh).But seriously I thought this t-shirt was perfect for me, I saw it online, giggled and then simply clicked add to basket without a second thought. I thought this was a brilliant everyday shirt for when you’re at home/ college/ uni or simply just running errands, definitely worth £6.

Lush Haul! (Christmas Gift)

For Christmas I got some really amazing Lush products from my family, as you will know if you follow me on Twitter. I am a massive fan of lush and I thought I would show you all what I got considering I did a poll and you said you wanted to see this!


I got the cutest little box filled with 6 different products!

The first product was the Dashing Santa Bath Bomb, this is shaped like Santa with his sack of presents. The colour of the bath bomb is bright red and the scent is satsuma/ clementine or I would describe it as a light orange scent.



The second product in the box is Candy Mountain, this is a bubble bar the claims to make mountains of bubbles in your bath. It certainly lives up to this claim, you literally need to crumble small amounts of this bar into each bath to get tonnes of sweet scented bubbles!


I also got the Yoga Bomb which is supposed to be very good for relaxation. This has a very woody and natural smell which is also very soothing and uplifting, I can not wait to get a nice hot bath with this one, might even light a few candles too! It is bright orange in colour and about the size of an orange too.


The next bath bomb I got is a really cute little guy, Butterbear. This is a small white bath bomb in the shape of a teddy bear. The scent is vanilla and it includes cocoa butter to soften and moisturize the skin during your bath! He’s so cute!


Tisty Tosty is a Lush favourite of mine and I get it every time I shop in lush so I was over the moon to receive it in my little box of goodies. This is a bath ballistic, it is in the shape of a heart, this has a very floral and light scent and has rose petals in it that float in your bath when you pop it in!





And finally I got the Star Dust bath bomb. This is a star shaped white bath bomb that looks like it has a little surprise inside due to it being bright blue! It smells absolutely amazing and I wish I could buy this all year round but unfortunately you can not due to it being a festive special. I am definitely looking forward to using this!

What's your favourite lush product?

2016 Goals


Wow. I can not believe that we are in 2016 already, I swear it was only the other day I was starting this blog and writing my first post! The past year has flew by and I took hardly any notice of the days disappearing.

This post is going to be a list of all the things I hope to achieve over the next year!

Christmas time 2015


My Christmas this year has been truly amazing, and not just because of the gifts. This year I didn’t spend Christmas running around, going out every day and being super busy with my friends constantly. This year, I spent the time I had off with my family and relaxing. 

What The Journal Shop sent me*




The other day The Journal Shop very kindly sent me some products to try out! These products are the Iconic Classic Note Book and a set of 5 Iconic 2way Retro Pen’s, both products made with undeniable quality and care.
