Why I've stopped purchasing fast fashion! Ft. Charity shop haul.

During university, I purchased a lot of clothes. Not even just some, more like 2-3 outfits a week, from online brands such as Missguided, PrettyLittleThing & Boohoo. Maybe Asos if I'd just received my student loan and wanted to splash out. It was hard to resist when 1) I wanted a new outfit for every time I went on a night out and 2) I had email updates for whenever there was 50% off sitewide. What I was completely ignorant and oblivious to, was the numerous problems with these sites and fast fashion in general.

Summer beauty favourites 2019.

Thought it'd only be right to start off the blog posts again with an end of summer reflection on some of the beauty bits and bobs I've picked up over the past few months and been loving. Summer is a weird time for makeup, most people ditch it all together and go barefaced and let the sun give them a beautiful radiant glow and let all the cute little freckles surface. However I'm more of a 'let's do a natural summer makeup look', but before you know it I'm sweating a heavy pink eyeshadow look out with winged eyeliner that I've accidentally over done to the point I could probably take off. To be fair, British summer is pretty gross anyway, more humid and sticky on the good days or just not hot enough on the bad days, or in Cornwall, mostly rain. 

Back for good?

Fast forward two years since my last post on this blog, I have decided to start this up again. A lot has happened, I've finished university, in fact I'm graduating next Friday! And I've started the search for a 'real' job, as technically now I'm out of education for good, I'm basically unemployed, yikes. Stay tuned for the posts to come, resuming from the beauty/fashion/lifestyle posts I was creating before, with a dash more fitness content.

Bondi Sands tan! First impressions

I love having a tan, I feel at my 'peak' when I'm a natural golden glowing brown but circumstances such as I'm lazy and don't get out enough, plus I've worked the whole summer the past few years has meant I never really have that natural glow. I've tried a few fake tans before but I'm not very good at maintaining them nor the prep to avoid patchiness!

Gymshark Leggings - Worth the hype?

If you have anything to do with fitness or follow any fitness related instagrammers or bloggers you will probably have heard of the brand Gymshark. The brand has been around for a while now although I feel like I have heard more about it in the last year! I've not long being going to gym now, only since I started university in September but more and more I'm slowly starting to love my routine and getting my body stronger - I follow tonnes of people such as Tammy Hembrow, Jazmine Garcia, Nikki Blacketter, Gracefituk who have all inspired me to work out and 'grow' a better version of myself! And with that is the never-ending want for all the gym clothes they own.

Quick Ways make your university room look cuter!

I thought I'd make a little post related to my university life, and how I decorated my room (which is forever being rearranged and changed) to make it more homely and just a nice space to work or unwind in! My room is in definite need of clearing out currently, I've only been here nearly 4 months now and the amount of stuff I came with is growing by the day! But I always rely on the little photos and decorations I put up to keep it looking a bit more of an organised thoughtful mess.

Favourite LUSH Products

Todays post is on my favourite (current) Lush products! I tend to do a little spree shop in Lush about twice a year, because I find their products last me a really long time.
