sun sun sun

enjoyed today so much, look at all the photos, the first was taken just as I was leaving my boyfriends house, I trusted him with the photo taking, I think he did okay....

the one below is me looking super happy because I was just about to go swimming (it was cold but so so refreshing)

and the bottom two were taken this morning while I was revising for my biology exam which was this afternoon!

Last but bot least is this picture of the moon, full moon on the Friday the 13th!!

all photos were taken with my phone, hence the bad quality, but I hope you're all having good days too, and enjoying the sun

A New Love

So I'm sorry recently I haven't been updated much but I'm deep in the depths of revision lately! Today I finished my psychology course for good, but I still have all of my geography and biology exams left to go!

I can't wait to start blogging more consistently in summer, and maybe even set up some YouTube videos too! 

Also I apologise for the photo, but this choc milk is the only thing getting me through this stressful time, it's like liquidised cake, the ambrosia of mankind. 

Hope all your exams are going well, thanks for reading!!!

Real Techniques Brushes

So the other day I ordered these new brushes from America, as the only ones I really had were some sub-par cheap ones that I got given for Christmas. As I'd recently started investing into my make up collection I thought it was only right that I actually invested into my brush collection also!

Anyway, when I went into Urban Decay's stall in Debenhams the other week the lady working there recommended these brushes called Real Techniques, as a cheaper alternative to what Urban Decay offered (i was so thankful for that, buying a palette was enough for me!) So I popped back up to Boots only to find that the eye basic set was £20, and I'd already more than spent enough money so I returned home without.

Later that day I looked up online how cheap they were to buy, and lo and behold I found them for sale for about £13 from America with shipping! Instantly purchased them, they arrived within about 5 days with no added tax or anything. They feel absolutely amazing to touch, but I have yet to properly use them as it is exam season and I'm way too lazy to actually attempt make up when I have to be up at 7am. When I've tried using them on a look, I will let you know!

Forever 21 Necklace Shop

Hello again! It's Megan here, just with a quick review of some new jewellery I recently acquired from Forever 21.

As I live quite far away from any large city (read as: about 3 hour drive), I wasn't really away of Forever 21's existence until I visited Birmingham for my birthday last year. Therefore I'd never checked them out or knew what kind of fashion they stocked until I visited the store then. However it wasn't until last month that I went to London that I really took an interest into what they had to offer, as I realised they stocked pretty low budget yet fashionable and interesting clothing.

So recently Forever 21 had a 3 for 2 offer on all their jewellery and I've been looking at a load of necklaces lately and these were the three that I chose to buy!

Here's the triangular one with me modelling, check out that nightmare before christmas poster...

Anyway, they necklaces all arrived pretty quickly, and I think it was all below £15 all in all. I'm really happy with all three of them, especially the gold triangular one as it goes with nearly absolutely everything that I've tried it on with.

I would definitely recommend Forever 21 jewellery if you're looking for cheap and easy to wear items! 

Giving Blood!

So today’s small adventure as a couple was going to give blood at a local church hall in Charlestown! It was my second time, and Megan’s first, and she was very brave, and everything went perfectly. Except, however, for the walk back home up a big hill, where Megan got a little light headed and starting giggling and rambling about how green the trees were, but after a short lie down she was all good again! Definitely worthwhile doing as we gave half an hour of our time and possibly saved a life somewhere in the future, which is incredible!

Directions Hair Dye - Violet

Hello!!

This is me, and this is I guess, the first post on this blog!

As you can probably tell, I'm not wearing any make up or anything in this picture, as what I mainly want to focus on here is my hair! This was taken just after I dyed my hair, probably about two weeks ago, using Directions by La Riche in Violet. Now, I had previously used another Directions dye but in Lilac, and I don't know whether it was due to my hair being to dark (unlikely as it was pretty much platinum blonde) or whether I just diluted it too much (likely, I am notoriously bad at judging the dye:conditioner ratio) but that really didn't take that well at all...

However this time I think it's definitely made an impact! It's diluted a heck of a lot yet again, and in some places my previous blue dye seems not to have lifted at all, but overall I'm really happy! As of now, it has faded quite a bit, despite me using silver shampoo every other wash, but considering how cheap Directions is and how little I actually ended up using (about a tablespoon, maybe more) this is quite an economical way to dye your hair if you have the time to devote to dying it regular.

First Post!

Hello!!
My name's Megan and I set up this blog to document my (potentially) last couple of months living in Cornwall, after which I'm hopefully moving away to university! I've recruited the help of my boyfriend, Luke, who will be helping with posts, pictures and the technical formatting side!
Hopefully we'll be posting more soon!
