Lou Lou's Vintage Fair (Swansea) | Lifestyle

On Sunday I spent my morning at the lovely vintage fair located in Swansea. Lou Lou's vintage fair travels around the UK during the year allowing vintage stores & sellers to come together at an event. It's the second time I've been (previously went to the Southampton venue) and I love it. I really enjoy wandering around looking at the items & the clothes are always divine. In this event I took a few photos and got myself a few goodies pictured below!!

OOTN || Binky Prints

I have to admit made in Chelsea is a guilty pleasure and I love all their styles so when Binky created a range with In the style I couldn't resist taking a peak. I wasn't able to purchase any items from her first release but her second line really stood out to me and as I'm going on holiday they're a perfect fit!!

Borderline Personality Disorder || Q&A

Not so long ago I wrote a post regarding my BPD (borderline personality disorder) and it was the first time I've made a public declaration of my mental health. I've always kept it under wraps, but it was so refreshing to read your responses and know I've helped a small few. Since then I've been asked questions here and there so I wanted to make this mini Q&A. But before I start I want to express that I've come to terms with my disorder to a point where I'm comfortable with it. That doesn't mean to say I wouldn't take a cure if it was handed to me. On the other hand there are people who may be at the beginning stages of diagnosis or further along the lines that aren't as comfortable so please keep that in mind. I also want to say this post isn't here for you to self diagnose, I highly suggest seeking professional help when it comes to both physical and mental health issues. Please don't take my opinions/experiences as fact because everyone experiences things different and this is only my viewpoint.  I just wanted to answer a few questions to help people understand such an unknown mental health disorder. 

Wella Professionals Xposure Competition || Lifestyle

As you lovely lot know I change my hair constantly, but I ended up keeping my brown highlighted mess for way too long. Any how if you've followed me on insta you've seen this year I've had 4/5 colours already and for once it's not my fault. Since September I've been growing my hair out for the Wella competition. Turns out my hair is shorter now than it ever has been, so growing it out was a huge waste as well as hella annoying. On the other hand we finally cut the style in, bleached the hell out of my hair (don't worry it's still healthy) and added the colours for the competition. Here's the final look from the shoot we did. Now we need to keep our fingers crossed and hope we get through to the next round. I'm sure my hair will handle another bleaching!!

Dreaming Of Summer Days || Lifestyle

I'm currently sat in my new pyjama shirt with a cup of coffee, a bar of chocolate & the mentalist on TV.  I'm not quite feeling at top health and I'm snowed under with work & college; but here I am giving my lovely followers a rather boring insight into my "blogger" lifestyle. We all know blogging isn't easy but sometimes that generic picture of a person sat in bed with a cuppa and their laptop on their lap is reality. How stereotypical of me!!

Venus Bundle Review

Venus 1: Limecrime 

Venus 2: Limecrime 

(Bundle price: £31.47)

I know some of my readers may think I'm crazy for reviewing/advertising this brand but since they sorted out their website issues, I couldn't resist purchasing the venus palettes. We all know I was lusting over the grunge palette for a long while and when they brought out the second palette I was happy I waited. Before Christmas I decided to purchase the bundle which saves you a lot of the seperate prices. They took a while to get here and their were a few issues but I'll explain that later.

New Year, Same Me | Lifestyle

I know this is a little late into January, but as it's meant to the most depressing week of the year I'm feeling reflective. I've taken time out of my usual routine to relax, get back on track and to feel myself again. That is something I aim to do more of this year. I'm a complete stress head who takes on too much and wonders why I even more stressed. This post isn't a new years resolutions I'll never compete kind of thing, it's more of a reflection on what I need to do to be more sane this year. 

Soap & Glory Skincare Review

No clogs allowed heated mask

The greatest scrub of all

Last week I was back in college having a bit of a flap and decided to take a mental health day. On my ride home I thought it might be a good idea to grab a few face remedies to cheer myself up. Turns out to be a great idea. I never used this brand much but after investing in their eyebrow products and reading reviews I thought why not. I picked up two products relevant to my face situation and they're working a treat!!
