The Liebster Award!

Hello everyone,
I'm excited to tell you that I have been nominated by Beth from http://teawithbeth.blogspot.co.uk/ to take part in the The Leibster Awards. I was super happy when Beth asked me to participate as I am in love with her blog.
The Rules

Answer the questions that are sent to you.
Nominate 10 bloggers who have under 200 followers on twitter.
Ask them 12 questions of your own.
Notify them that they've been nominated.


 Questions asked by Beth:

1. Do you have a sweet tooth? What are your favorite recipes?

I 100% have a sweet tooth! Anything with Nutella in and I'm there! My personal favourite is either Nutella hot chocolate or chocolate chip sponge cake, so good. 


2. What do you like about blogging?

 I like that I can post what I like and voice my opinion and thoughts on a space I can call my own. 
3. Favorite book of all time?

 I love the perks of being a wallflower. (cliché I know.) I created such a connection with each of the characters through similarities in their personalities that I could think of them as friends. I would 100% recommend anyone to get wrapped up in this wonderful book.

5. Name 5 beauty products you can't live without.

 Vaseline rosy lips - All good drugstores
Mango body butter - the body shop
Iced caramel, shade 625 lipstick - Maybelline
Sudocrem - All good drugstores
Mineralise powder shade natural - Mac 

 (I previously wrote a blog post discussing some of these products > Beauty saviours)

6. You're in a store (it doesn't matter which one) and you can pick one thing that you'll have a lifetime supply of. What is it?

Nutella.

 7. Do you prefer bold lip colors or nude ones?

 I'm all for purple lips. You rarely see me sporting a nude lip as I like my lips to be my statement look. The bolder, the better I say! 

 8. What's one thing you love about yourself?

 My eyebrows. They are my pride and joy.

9. Would you survive in a mall with just $10?

 I think I'd do ok... as long as I can get a cup of tea and slice of cake.

10. Do you prefer the quiet countryside or the bustling city?

I grew up in a small village but wasn't to far a drive from shops, restaurants etc. so I would 100% stay true to my roots and stick to the country.

11. Best place to eat?

Prezzo. I could live off Italian food.

 12. If you could choose one season to live in for the rest of time, which would it be?

I would live in Spring. Although Autumn is my favourite season I would rather live Spring as you can always have the sunny days yet you can still get away with a cute over sized jumper rather than a jacket.

Sweet Saturday

Hello everyone,
This weeks theme for #teenblogsunite was to create a recipe of your choice. I again decided to try and do something different with the theme as I cant bake or cook to save your life. I did attempt earlier in the week to recreate Tanya Burrs Oreo cupcakes but they ended up cremated. I think ill take a miss entering the Great British Bake Off. So I decided to write about a recipe that doesn't require cooking or baking of any form. Not only is this a pearfect breakfast or pudding its also healthy yet tastes delicious.
Keep smiling,

September Favourites

Hello strawberries,
This will be my first set of monthly favourites to debut on strawberrybloggings. As I am a student I don't have much money to continue funding new products to talk about. This may cause my favourites my be every two months instead of one.
Keep smiling,

Superdrugs' own de-stressing face mask

For me face masks are the key to good skin. It does exactly what is says on the tin. It relaxing drys quickly and leaves your skin fresh, revived and baby smooth.



MUA lipstick shade 11

I'm. In. Love. I mentioned a month or two ago that my favourite lipstick, iced coffee from maybelline, had been discontinued and I constantly hunt for a similar shade. This is my perfect dupe! It's a peachy nude that suits a more tanned skin but, would look good on pretty much anyone.




Collection 2000 nails varnish shade 3

It's coming to that time in the year where autumnal shades are becoming a common colour. So I thought I would join the trend and buy a pretty red. It last long but does chip quite easily without a top coat.



Wake me up foundation

I've always had a love hate relationship with this foundation as I wasn't a fan of the shimmer but I do like the finish it leaves. I eventually gave up trying to become a fan of it as so many people had raved about it but, decided to revisit and and finally understood what the drama was about. Ive completely fallen in love with everything about it and can confidently say its been added to my holy grail of products.



Primark dolly shoes

Ah dolly shoes. I personally love the whole dolly shoes trend as i get to revisit my childhood nostalgia and look cute. what not to love! and when they're £12 seriously, try and find a fault.



Glamour magazine, Fearne Cotton edition

Not only is Fearne a fabulous mum and beautiful human being. Shes also a business woman and radio and TV personnel. I don't know how she does it. I genuinely look up to her as she manages to juggle so many passions along with a family lifestyle, I think it takes a very put together person to do so many thing and make each one of them flourish into something beautiful.


Divergent trilogy 

As you know I'm all for a good book and whens there is 3 of them I've basically hit the jackpot. For me a book is like being transported to your ideal reality and trust me id rather live in mine than the one we have today. Books have become so under hyped that when you find a person who also shares an interest in reading I instantly want to become best friends with them. Aside from that Divergent is a thriller trilogy that you can really sink your teeth into. Its also one where you become rapped up in the characters and don't want to let them go when it all comes to an end.
