Belated Valentines: Must be love...

Well I know I'm a bit late, but Belated Valentines Day! I hope you all had a great day and spent it with the ones you love. Isn't this picture just the cutest, my boyfriend says I look like a pug when I pull my bottom lip out, personally, I don't see it...
I would have done this post sooner but I'm not very well at the moment, its really taking all my energy, boohoo.

I still managed to go out on Valentines day though, David came down a day earlier and we had 2 nights together which was lovely as we were celebrating one year together! Madness, but we've had such a fab year, I honestly wouldn't have done half the stuff if it wasn't for him.

Warning, this is a slightly cheesy post!
On Valentines day last year I woke up to a picture message saying we were going to see Nero a month later in Sheffield!
And that day we went to Lincoln, I watched him getting part of his chest tattoo done, we had lunch at Nandos and then watched Star Wars in 3D at the cinema. It was a wonderful day!

This year we went to Wagamama's for the first time which was different, not quite sure if I like it if I'm honest and then went to see Die Hard 4 at the Cinemas which was fantastic, totally recommend watching it!

Here's some pictures of our year!
Went to sheffield to see Nero and then went out to Corp after, it was a brilliant night! Then spent the next day recovering and shopping around Sheffield



Went to Centre Parcs for a week with friends

              Day out to a garden centre, can't remember the name                                         A casual trip to tesco

< I've been with David to get his tattoo's for the past year
David took me to Leeds Festival for my birthday, we didn't get a nice photo of us together :( so here's one of him in our comfy tent


      
Random snaps of our faces

David is my boogie partner 

 
We like to get ridiculously drunk together

After getting scammed, I finally got tickets to see Muse for David's birthday, and we are seeing them again in May in London, yay!

I had honestly had the best year ever, I hope it's the same this year, we've already planned to see Don Broco end of this month, Deaf Havana in April, London for the weekend to see Muse in May and hopefully going on holiday together in the summer! 

Did you have a good Valentines day?

Treat Tuesday

I feel like I've disowned my blog recently, I've been busy recently as I had a trip home for the weekend and I've had uni work, boo!
I went out yesterday after uni to get some valentines day presents for David, hehe :) and I managed to get a couple of bargains from Primark for myself too

I got this huge clutch bag in the sale for £3, reduced from £8! I don't own a good clutch bag, I normally borrow other peoples or just put all my stuff in everyone else bag when we go out, so I thought it was time to treat myself

I also got some cute rustic cross earrings which will be nice to wear casually or for a night out



Finally I got this got this adorable jumper from a charity shop when I went home for £1. Luckily it was a big size and it fits perfectly. I love the cute woodland creatures that on the front, I have been wearing this jumper with my hedge-hog ring to go with the theme!


Have a good night, I'm off for a carvery!

DIY: Scrunchies

Following my post of Treat Tuesday, so far I've had 2 attempts at making a scrunchie. The first attempt I made it too big but the second attempt has gone really well, yay! I'm going to make some more and hopefully a bow aswell over the coming weekend! So here's how to make your own, this is based on my second attempt, I'm currently making them by trail and error...



Hope you've enjoyed this post, link me to your pages if you have made a scrunchie like this! I'll keep you updated if I make any more.

Last night I attend my first Chinese lesson with Tori and it was brilliant, I genuinely can't wait for the next one. Me and Tori will probably just be saying hello, how are you to each other for the rest of the week, or end up google translating more words!

Treat Tuesday and OOTD

OK. I tell a little fib, I actually had treat Monday, but that's not the same is it?
Me and Hayley went fabric shopping in the market as she needs crafty bits for her Uni Artwork and I joined her because I'm planning on making DIY Scrunchies. Yep, 80s all the way. Blog post coming up, depending when I get round to hand making them- a sewing machine would be ideal, why didn't I write it on my Christmas list!

My goodies of the day
 I thought that this fabric would look great as a scrunchie and only £1 for 4 big rectangles of it

 How adorable is this strawberry fabric, I thought this would look good as a hair bow as well as a scrunchie
Cute bath bomb was on sale for £1.50, I'm not entirely sure what its made of/got in but it smells really nice! So be a nice treat for me and David when I get home
 I also got some tongue bar for £1 each, says it all really... 
The bars were way too long and the gem scratched the roof of my mouth
So I've taken the bottom ball off and  place it on an old bar. Made the best out of it, aye!
 I also made a pit stop off at Debenhams, to try the new Roberto Cavalli Perfume

Just Cavalli is the new Roberto Cavalli fragrance. I am a huge fan of the first Cavalli fragrance with the Orange flower, Pink Peppercorn and Roasted Tonka Bean notes which give off a really sweet yet sophisticated smell.
But I was a bit let down when I smelt the new fragrance as I'm not that keen on it, it smells a bit too flowery for my liking with Magnetic Tiare Flower and Drizzling Neroli notes.


OOTD: Casual uni wear






















Well the weather is terrible today in Leeds, I've been to uni for a couple of hours today, so I thought I'd snap my outfit :)

Cape Coat; Topshop
Jumper; Market stall
Scarf; Vintage
Jeggings; Internationale
Shoes; Converse
Neckace; eBay

I love to and normally dress in comfortable clothes, so I stick to comfy leggings, but today I decided to brave the wild side. By wearing my old jeggings which are too small on the bum so I'm forever pulling them up and they were uncomfortable but since coming home I've slumped on black leggings. I also have put my hair in small Top Knot, which I really like, even though you can hardly see it in the photograph. I'm also in dire need of a fringe cut!

Have you smelt the new Roberto Cavalli fragrance? What do you think of it?

Last night...

Last night we had a good chilling night, Me and Hayley put on face masks, I used a mud mask and Hayls had a peely face mask, we looked hilarious I looked like the hulk and Hayley looked like she had a skin disease. We couldn't laugh otherwise we'd crack our faces so we both mastered laughing without moving our faces!

This is the mask I used, it's formulated for sensitive skin and it's Non- Comedogenic, so it doesn't clog pores or cause blemishes. It also isn't tested on animals! This mask was just an old one that I've been meaning to use for ages now, and it worked really well and I now have super soft baby skin!
Face masks are to help, enhance the temperature of your skin, open the skin's pores and to increase the oxygen content in the skin, so it's always good to have one every now and then!
We looked so wrinkly and strange with the masks on. Also what we didn't realised that Hayley got the mask in her eyebrow and when Sonia was pulling the mask off we honestly thought we pulled half her eyebrow with it, but then Hayley managed to save it somehow ... (TIP, never put face masks over your eyebrows, quite obvious but we nearly had a disaster)
While waiting for Beyonce to graces us on our telly we watched Blades of Glory and made a massive discovery 
(watch the clip upto 0:35)
and we also watched Tom from McFly's wedding speech which is amazing, I have upped the standards of my future husbands wedding speech, if you've not seen it, check it out here immediately!!

SO HOW AMAZING IS BEYONCE?! She looked fabby at the Super Bowl, especially after having a baby! Who is beautiful as ever with her little afro. If you've not seen her performance, you NEED to watch it. Kelly and Michelle even pop up and they sing some Destiny's Child songs together. I had goose bumps the whole way through the performance, g'won Queen Bey. Then for the rest of the night we stayed up watching funny videos till 5am. Like this video 
 I cried 

 It's been a bit of a random post, but it last night was random and hilarious and it needed to be shared
Did you know about the Blades of Glory quote? and definitely link me any hilarious videos you know of!
