So I think that we have all established that I suck at posting.I have so many ideas on what to write but I never get round to actually writing it.I think I better change that.  For me nothing screams summer more than fruity scents,alchohol, and annoying bugs.Since a blog on annoying bugs would be rather boring and it's a bit inappropriate to write about alcohol.I'm going to post about fruity scents. I was shopping with my friend last week ,and I saw the new Palmolive shower gel range. I smelt all three of the scents and couldn't resist buying them! Not to mention that they were on offer for £1 each.Bargain. This range comes in three scents which are strawberry touch, vanilla pleasure and chocolate passion .Since these are my favourite scents ever I couldn't resist buying them. These are the sort of shower gels that you don't actually have to use much of.They have such a strong scent and they leave your body smelling and feeling amazing. They actually have body butt...

  The Further are a newly made band who can easily be compared to bands like The Smiths,  Suede, Manic Street Preachers etc. The band is made up of Peter Backler, Barrington Mole and James Dowse. Barrington (band member) was kind enough to send me the EP to feature and let me tell you. I was not disappointed. I can easily say that Cling 2 me is my favourite from the EP. The whole thing has such a feel good vibe to it. It's the sort of record that you can easily listen to whilst doing coursework or other things. I love the whole sound to this EP. It sounds classic-if you can describe it as classic. You can tell that they're not trying too hard to be just like other artists. They're original and I like it. Ordinary- This is one of those songs that makes me feel like a badass bitch! It can most definitely be used for a sound track. Not to mention that the song is incredibly catchy. I love it! Cling 2 Me- It has such an Arctic Monkeys vibe to ...

Something that I've noticed whenever I'm looking at comments on beauty guru's pages is that people always ask for them to share their brush-washing routine. Sooo I thought that I'd share mine. It may be helpful, it may not be. The main product that I use to wash my brushes is face wash. It doesn't matter how cheap or expensive it is, because it's not going to make you break out or anything. I like to use the ones that don't quite work on my skin, so I'm not really spending any money. I also use a brush egg that I found on Ebay for 99p. Bargain! It helps the process so much!   I tend to clean my brushes in the evening and leave them to dry over night. I would definitely not recommend blow drying your brushes as the brushes are only plastic and they will burn. It's not worth ruining your brushes over. So at first I wet the brushes with warm water, dip it in some face wash then clean the brushes in a circular motion against the brush egg. Then rin...

A couple of months ago I entered one of Miss Sporty's competitions to win a few of their bits-and I won. I was very pleased with how the products arrived, and more importantly,the products themselves. They sent me a foundation, a BB cream,an eyeshadow, a lipstick,a liquid lipstick, a blusher and two nail polishes.Firstly,the foundation was completely the wrong shade so I gave it to a friend which is why it's not featured in this post. The BB cream that I received was Morning Baby  in shade 001 nude radiance. I've tried wearing this on its own and I don't feel that it works quite as well as the Garnier  one.But then again, Miss Sporty  is a cheaper brand. The product is rather liquidy,but it works perfectly as a primer.  The eyeshadow that I received was a studio mono  eyeshadow in shade 108 romance.  The shade is rather light,but it works perfectly for when you're trying to put some eyeshadow on the top of your lids to make it blend properly and if you're g...

One of the books that I was most intrigued to read was We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. I had been told by a few people that it was an incredible book and that I really needed to read it. After picking it up in a local charity shop I decided to do some research on the book (like I usually do)-like read reviews,etc. Considering that everyone seemed to love this book, lets just say my expectations were high. In class I had read an extract from this book and I thought yeah this seems alright actually. And then I started to read the book at home, I automatically knew that it was going to be a complicated book. It's one of those books that I knew I had to be wide awake to read it. But, everytime that I was reading the book I was tired. Turns out it was the book that was making me tired. I've said it before in another one of my reviews that sometimes I have to read a book more than once to appreciate it fully. But I honestly don't think I can do it. Let...

Recently I went for an interview and I spent two days preparing for it. I really want this job,if you can't tell already. I am still yet waiting to find out whether I got the job or not. Fingers crossed though. I thought that I would give you guys some tips as it's really important to be prepared for your interviews. 1-Do your research. If the company has a website then go on it and gather as much information as you can. If it's a retail place look at what they sell,any deals that are going on and their best sellers.You're likely to be asked if you know anything about the company. 2-Look appropriately. You don't want to be overdressed or underdressed. Think about what company you're applying for. If it's for a store like New Look,Topshop etc then wear fashionable clothes.If it's for a office job then wear smart clothing. You don't want to turn up to a New Look interview wearing a suit,you'll look too overdressed. Also,try not to overdo your make ...

I suppose you want to know what happened-don't you? After I received the letter I immediately rung up my boyfriend,Kyle, and he came round 10 minutes later. I was frantic and he gave me his car savings,which was £3000. I was so grateful, but I still had no idea how I was going to get the other £7000. I sold some of my expensive jewellery,my gadgets,most of my things.This gave me an extra £4000. I was desperate,you need to understand this. That's why I did what I did.  It wasn't major prostitution,I swear. I never had sex with them,I just did what I had to to get the 3 grand. Most of the men were rich which was good so they paid well. I know it was bad, you don't have to give me that look. The men it happened with were rich,so they paid well.I didn't actually have to do much. I am ashamed though,but it didn't end there I guess.The rest just wasn't voluntary. My mum?Yeah she died.I gave them the money on time and exactly where they wanted it.They didn't ca...
