Hey, Don't Sweat it!

I think what I'm about to write could be the strangest and most random post I've done to date, but it could well be the most useful and relevant post to date with summer being on our door mats!

I think it's about time we all stop sweating (I am so sorry for that awful pun) about our personal hygiene, because I have found the answer to all problems. 

I'm the type of girl that admittedly will buy whatever deodorant is on offer that day,  but I do hunt out the ones that claim to have '48hr protection' and 'leave no white marks'. So a couple of months ago I stumbled across an old favourite- I know, sounds so weird to say I have a favourite deodorant- Soft and Gentle's Orchid and Passion Flower. It was on offer for £1 so I quickly shoved it in my basket, but it wasn't until I actually used it the next day that I realised why I used to love it so much. 

To start off with, it smells glorious. It reminds me of summer and being 16 and all excited for the summer holidays every time I use it. But if that's not a good enough reason to love it, the way it stops sweat and funny smells arriving definitely is. I apply this at about half 6 every morning and I'm still fresh at the end of the working day. I took this on holiday in a compressed size bottle and I definitely noticed how little Ineeded to use  considering how hot it was. 

It also sticks to it's claim of no white marks, my uniform consists of a red shirt so white marks would not be a look good, and thanks to this deodorant I do not get any at all, wahoo! 

I will definitely be repurchasing and repurchasing again and again as I seriously love this deodorant; as silly as that sounds!

So girls. if you're needing to stock up on your everyday necessities, consider this when you're shopping the basics! 

It's even good value for money in another way; on a lazy day, you can 100% get away with doubling this up as a perfume too. (I won't tell if you won't!)

Hope you enjoyed this extremely random post!

Holiday Snaps

Hi strangers!

I just want to firstly apologise for my huge abscence from blogging! I won't bore you with the details but all that matters is that I am back in full force.

And I am back with a snapshot into my recent holiday to Mallorca that you may know about! I had the most amazing time on the boat and wanted to share some pictures with you (and make you hate England and it's weather even more!).

Seriously guys I could never get bored of those views!

My face will be appearing now: 

And the best part was that I got to share this amazing holiday with my boyfriend, so here's his face appearing too:

I am so sad to be home and the holiday blues are well and truly with me. But it did mean I could properly relax and I feel better about blogging again now. Silver linings and all!

I hope you enjoyed this short but sweet return!

Holly Grail Hand Cream

If you don't already know, I suffer from dry hands real bad and I'm constantly on the look out for a hand cream to help me. I always stick to drugstore hand creams because I go through them so fast that I can't justify spending a lot of money on hand creams that I'll use up pretty much straight away. 

I used to swear by Garnier Intensive Restoring Hand Cream as I found that it gets to work straight away and soothes the agitation I get from dry hands. It retails at £3.99 which I thought was really good.. Until I came across this new gem!

If you can't already tell from the infamous star logo; this hand cream is from SuperDrug. I intended on going in and picking up the Garnier one and leaving within 2 minutes (obviously paying too don't shoot me), but my eyes were drawn to Superdrug's own range of hand creams for three reasons, the colours of the times, the eye catching writing and most importantly the 99p price tag! 

There was a couple of creams in the range in different coloured tubes that all claimed to do combat something different but I decided to go for the blue packaging that claimed to Soften and Smooth hands, which is what I always need. It is also described as 'intensive' which is an adjective that I commonly look for in lotions, so I was instantly sold on it from the minute I saw 99p!

Whilst looking through the ingredients which are all good by the way! (she's butter obviously makes an appearence which is always good in a hand cream!) I came across the little jumping rabbit logo which can only mean one thing: cruelty free. So that was the final thing for me, I instantly found myself strolling over to the tills to buy this gem and take it home with me. 

I'm so glad that I did aswell as it is honesty one of the best hand creams I've used! It does exactly what it says on the tin (or tube whatever) and it doesn't just offer short term relief but it lasts all day long. I used to find myself thinking I need some hand cream and I need it now, especially with my job, but that panic is long gone! 

It's so good, I went out and bought two more to stock up with as I hate running out of hand cream!

I 110% recommend this, and for 99p there really is no harm in trying it out for yourself!

Let's Get Deep (Inside Our Pores)

After being sick and tired of my skin feeling sick and tired, I decided to venture into the unknown and buy my first ever charcoal face mask. I've heard so many good stuff about said face masks but I had never tried one myself and I really don't know why looking back! I didn't want one that would break the bank incase I didn't end up seeing the hype so I stayed safe with Boots' own.

I picked up their 'Tea Tree and Witch Hazel with active Charcoal' face mask that claims to be a 'intense deep cleanse' which is exactly what I needed. 

My skin constantly felt clogged and tight and nothing was seeming to help. I don't know whether the air con at work is the cause or whether my skin is just clogged to the brim, but either way I am sick of it.

So I immediately got home and applied this face mask. It advises an even layer of the mask but I added slightly more to my nose and cheek area as that is where I feel the tightness the most. It also advised a 15 minute time frame but again, being the rebel that I evidently am, left it on for about half an hour as I needed a really intense cleanse. And an intense cleanse is what I got. I would only say leave it on for half an hour if you were like me and felt it was necessary as the next time I used it I stuck to the 15 minutes and that was perfect. 

                 (Don't I look nice!)

So all you do is leave it on for your chosen time, go about your day and then wash it off!

What I really liked about this mask, besides how well it worked, was how soothing it is. You can 100% feel the Tea Tree as your skin feels tingly but good tingly because of how soothing and cool the mask feels.

Once I washed the mask off, I went ahead and moisturised but my skin already felt and looked amazing and it was all down to the mask. It left my skin feeling clean and looking bright. I also found that my makeup applied a lot nicer and didn't stick to dry patches or crack which is something I struggle with usually.

I tend to use this about twice a week but I've fallen in love with it. Yes I've fallen in love with a charcoal face mask. I know.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone with troubled and clogged skin!

Comfort over Fashion

As you all know, I've been shopping for my holiday that's on the horizon recently and I was in desperate need of some new sandals.. So off I went to the likes of Topshop and River Island and to my honest surprise I found nothing. I didn't really find any I liked that much to justify spending the £20+ on a pair of sandals that I would wear for a week. 

So anyway, whilst I was in Primark I was just browsing the shoe section and came across some Birkenstock style sandals. I've never really fully decided if I am Pro-Birkenstock or Anti-Birkenstock as I'm aware they are very Marmite. I do think they can look really nice if they're styled well. But anyway I wasn't going to try them on until I saw someone else trying them on and noticed how amazing they looked on her. And my god am I glad I tried them on as they are THE comfiest shoes I have ever worn.

It feels like you're putting your foot on a cloud, I'm kid you not. They had quite a few styles and colours available but I went for the black pair with gold hardware and with the little thing between the toes (no idea what you call it so thing between the toes will suffice) as I feel like it offers a bit more support, but their was a simple slide on style also. 

The one thing I did notice whilst trying on was that I had to size down not one, but two sizes so just bear that in mind. I'm usually a size 7 but ended up leaving with a size 5.

I liked them so much so that I then went back to Primark whilst shopping the next day to pick up the coral colour with silver hardware in the exact same style. I can see these two sandals being a huge staple in my summer wardrobe! 

And the best part? I believe they were only £5 each! Bargain! 

Comfort 1-1 Fashion!

High Street Shopping Rant

So with the bank holiday I obviously took my time off work to go shopping. And whilst going said shopping I noticed a few things that really annoy me about high street shopping.

I feel like many of you will be able to relate with a lot of the issues that I am going to spit out in the form of a rant any second now:

1. THE DIFFERENCES IN SIZE! I'm not even sorry for my virtual shouting, this infuriates me. I will use my example from today. I was on the hunt for a pair of denim shorts. Now I will admit that I already hate this task as I have chunky thighs and never feel comfortable in denim shorts. But anyway, I tried New Look first. Not much to say other than Camel Toe Galore. So that was a no. Next up was H&M. I always have issues with sizing in H&M. I can be a 12 in one shop, and a 14 in another. I can deal with that. I couldn't even fit a pair of size 14 shorts over my calves in H&M! Absolutely ridiculous. I ended up finding a pair that fit perfectly in the place that I had ruled out from the start on the basis that they would probably sell shorts that would make me look like a sixteen year old going to their first party: Primark. I was so surprised at a) how many different styles and cuts were on offer and b) how well they fit, and for just £13! 

2. The layouts. There is one thing that really bugs me whilst shopping, and I don't know whether it's the norm or a slight case of OCD but the layout or lack of layout in most shops gets to me. Gone are the days where they would have a section for dresses, a section for jeans and so on. Now you can find a top amongst the bloody homeware section. I understand that it's probably a marketing stunt but it just makes the experience so difficult. You can go into a shop for one thing and it can take half a flipping day trying to find it! Angers me.

3. Pricing. Now it might just be me that feels like the prices are rising to unjustifiable prices. I think we can all agree that Topshop is the main culprit. I always go in and see a really nice piece, pick it up to only put back down in horror after seeing the price. Followed by asking the person I am with to 'Guess how much that top is! Go on guess!' And I can guarantee you all will also think, 'I bet I can find that in Primark for half the price'.

4. Miserable staff. This one will probably wind all of you that work in retail right up and I don't mean to offend anyone but seriously, some retail staff are so miserable it actually confuses me. Like how can someone find it so hard to crack a smile?! Or say hello?! The one I find that they really struggle with is Thankyou, I mean that's just asking too much from most (let me just emphasise the most before you all bite my head off) retail staff! I also work in a customer based job and no matter how much of a bad day I've had I always manage to keep a conversation going, it's really not that hard; and as you've most likely gathered from this post, I can be a little moody bitch at times. If I can do it, everyone can!

5. Children. Again, a controversial one. Don't get me wrong, I love kids (in a non peadophilic way) as much as the next person. Well behaved and not annoying kids that is. I hate it when children who are clearly going to grow up to be a first class moron run around the shop screaming, getting in your way, tripping you up and make a mess of everything you want to look at it. All whilst their parents are no where to be seen! Where's SuperNanny when you need her.

Anyway I'm going to stop my ranting joe before my blood pressure goes through the roof. 

Let me know if you agree with any of my points. I really hope you do so I don't seem like a miserable cow!

Top 5 Spring Nail Polishes!

As the English weather actually has been resembling spring recently I've cracked out my pastels and my bright nail polishes and fully got my Spring on. Got to make the most of it in England haven't we!

So I'm going to share my Top 5 Sprint Nail Polishes with you (in the hope that it won't just be me that's all Spring'd up!)

Now I normally use Spring as a transition from the berry and the wine colours of winter into the brighter and bolder colours of summer. So I tend to stick to pastels but every now and then I do enjoy a good bright polish to brighten my day.

First of all I want to share with you my Barry M polishes. Now this was inevitable wasn't it. You can't do a nail polish post and not include a Barry M polish! 

First up I have potentially one of my favourite shades from Barry M actually and this is 308 Berry I/C (ice cream maybe who knows). It's the most gorgeous pastel lilac shade that makes my hands and nails look amazing. It really compliments my pale skin which is great as some polishes can wash me out even more.

And of course I have another Barry M polish. This time it is 295 Coral. Quite self explanatory don't you think? A beautiful coral colour that is quite bright but it's not too in your face that you feel like you can't wear it. I love it.

Sticking with the drugstore theme I have my ultimate nail varnish of all time. Like seriously guys I freaking love this stuff. It's a Rimmel number in the shade 503 Mind the Gap, Victoria. I can't get enough of this, it's the perfect pastel blue shade that just looks amazing. It's from the 60 Seconds range so it dries super quick and doesn't chip at all. I mean it. Holy grail right there. 

Again, sticking with the theme. I have another blue shade. Except this time it's more of a glitter than a polish. Topshop's nail products are so good and this glitter is no different. I'm struggling to find the shade name but it has 301 on the bottom of the bottle so I'm guessing that's it? Anyway if you see it, you'll know that it it's the one due to it's gorgeous mix of blue and silver specks of glitter. It looks amazing as a top coat- I love it over the Rimmel one. But it also looks just as good on it's own for subtle hint of glitter. 

And finally, for the big finale, I'm going to share my love for MAC nail polish with you. I really like MAC nail polishes actually, but the price tag steers me away from them and sends me right back into Boots. MAC polishes to me don't chip as quickly as some cheaper brands and the colours are always sensational but I wouldn't say they are worth the price tag they have. Anyway, I love their shade Snob (no surprise since I bloomin love Snob lipstick) which is a cream finish. It's just a lovely muted baby pink colour but nothing too Barbie like. A quick and easy everyday shade that adds a little pop to a Spring day. 

So there you have it, my Top 5 Nail Polishes for Spring! 

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Makeup Revolution Highlighter Lights

So today's post is going to be all about the Makeup Revolution Highlighter Lights Palette (as you can tell by the title, thanks for stating the obvious Hannah).

Now if you haven't heard of Makeup Revolution, then where have you been hiding?! They've blown up over the past few months and truly made their mark in the drugstore brands. Such an inexpensive brand but with a high end feel to the quality of the products. 

I made my first order from their stockist SuperDrug a couple of months back now and picked up a few things, but the one main thing that stood out for me was the highlight palette. 

The palette includes 3 powder highlight shades. One is a golden shade, and the other two are more pinky toned. 

I literally can't express how much I love this palette. There's nothing that I don't like about it. What I love doing is actually mixing all three shades together to create the most amazing highlight shade. All three shades compliment my pale skin so well, but I'm sure they would look amazing on any skin tone.

I love how pigmented they are which means that a tiny bit goes a long way but it also means that you can have a subtle highlight one day and a full on look the next, all with the same product. 

Usually with highlights I do notice that by the end of the day they've worn off and aren't noticeable on my skin anymore. But not with this one, oh no. This stuff is like war paint. It does not budge. It's 100% a staple in my makeup bag now. 

I used to swear by Benefit Watts up highlight stick but this Makeup Revolution gem has firmly pushed itself up to the number one spot. 

It's so low maintenance and easy to apply that it can be done in seconds. Just a quick sweep on the cheek bones, down the nose and on the Cupid now and Bob's ya uncle. You're ready to go. 

I find that if my skin is looking super dull and grey, this just brightens up and makes you look more human in seconds.

I apply it with just a cheap eBay brush, nothing special as the product itself does all the talking, it doesn't rely on an amazing brush to make it look good, it just does that itself! 

For the small price tag of £8 you really cannot go wrong. Three highlighters for £8, seriously come on that's insane. I can't fault the palette. Hats off to you Makeup Revolution, you've really out done yourself here!

If you've tried the palette out or any of Makeup Revolution's products that let me know in the comments!

Summer Wishlist

So summer is on it's way, and let me tell you, I am so excited. I thought I would share my summer wish list with you all today. I want to make the most of summer this year, so here's my wishlist!

#1 discover new places. I love exploring new places and doing new things but with work and a limited amount of time, it doesn't happen too often! I've already made a good start to this, as me and boyfriend are off to Alcudia in 5 weeks time and I've never been before, so I'm so excited for that! 

#2 relax more. Thinking about it, I relax a lot. But it's more late at night after a day at work and most likely the gym. So I want to take some time off and spend it just recharging my batteries and yeah, that sounds so stupid but I want some time where I don't have to rush and do 2 million things in a day. 

#3 see more of my friends. This sounds so silly but honestly I don't see enough of them. I guess it's a combination of me working, and the majority of them being away at university but yeah. They'll obviously be home for ages during summer so I think I'm going to take some time off work and spend some well needed time to catch up with them! 

#4 get my life toegther! Dramatic I know. But I really need to sort my life out. I'm in that state of mind where I'm just going along with each day as it comes with no actual direction. I honestly have no idea what I want to do with my life in the long run, so I need to have a long hard think!

#5 my final wish for this summer is to update my wardrobe. I obviously had to include a materialistic wish! I just find myself to hoard clothes. If I like it, I'll keep it regardless or not of whether I actually wear it. So I need to have a huge clear out and add new pieces to my wardrobe! I want to brighten it up and add some clothes that are a bit out of my comfort zone and not the standard oversized stuff!

So yeah, there we have it. My Summer Wishlist. 

I hope you enjoyed this and let me know what you want to get from this summer!

Disappointing Products!

It happens to the best of us, you buy a product that has so much potential to be amazing.. And then it's just not. And this is what today's post is going to be about; I'm going to share with you a few products that have disappointed me and not lived up to the hype.

First up is Simple's Eye Makeup Remover. 

You're probably thinking how on earth can an eye makeup remover be disappointing? Well truth be told, everything that this product claimed to be was false. I normally trust Simple as a brand and maybe this is why I'm so let down. It claimed to be 'effective' which I don't agree with at all as I would wake up each morning with panda eyes so it clearly hadn't removed all the makeup. And 'gentle' which I didn't see as it made my eyes sting so bad that they would water and go bloodshot. So this is a no go for me.

Staying on the eye theme, the MUA 'Starry Nights' palette is so bad I can't even explain.

 I'm a huge fan of MUA's eye shadow palettes, especially the 'Ever After' one, so I expected great things from this palette. But it was so powdery that I couldn't work with it. The fall out was too much, the pigemetation wasn't great, just really disappointing. As you can see, one of the shadows crumbled and left the palette in a state of no return so I should probably chuck this out but hoarder problems. 

Kinda still on the eye region, I have a product from Makeup Revolution. This brand is so good so I thought this eye brow tint would be great. But it just wasn't. 

It was almost too liquidy so it was really hard to work with, and I personally like a really precise eye brow and it was so hard to achieve with this product. It also came out quite red toned which isn't great for me as I have really dark brown hair. I also noticed that after it had fully set, it set to a hard crunchy finish which was actually noticeable.. Not too attractive!

This pains me to include another Makeup Revolution product, but their Fluid Blusher in 'Pink Dew', in my opinion, was a huge huge let down. 

Again, too liquidy, and I know that sounds silly because it's meant to be a liquid formula, but I found this product to run all over my hands whilst trying to apply it, and by the time I applied it, it didn't even show up on my skin, instead it almost took the makeup I already had on off and left me looking patchy. 100% would not recommend.

Now this next disappointing product will come as no surprise to you, but it is Barry M's 'Flawless Matte' foundation.

I won't go on too much about how much I dislike this product because you all already know. But basically, it's the most sheerest foundation I've ever tried and slides off my face within a couple of hours. No thank you!

And finally, instead of focusing on one single product, I have a range that disappointed me. Now Rimmel is one of my favourite make up brands, so when they launched the 'Apocalypse' range I obviously went out and bought a couple. 

It's not the shades that I don't like (although the peach shade doesn't suit me at all and made my teeth look so yellow!) But it's the formula that I really didn't like. It's so drying and ended up clinging to the dry patches on my lips which obviously doesn't look good. It also bled all around my lips and meant I constantly needed to check up on it and fix it, which nobody has time for!

So that's all the products that I found were really disappointing!

I don't know if you'll agree with me or not but either way let me know!

£1 Conditioner?!

In terms of condioner, I am always on the hunt for a nourishing and hydrating one that leaves my hair feeling soft and looking shiny due to my naturally dry, thick, curly hair. 

My natural hair suffers from the stereotypical curly hair syndrome: a straw like frizz bomb and I need to tame it!

I used to swear by VO5 Give Me Moisture  but because I use a hell of a lot of condioner, it was costing a fortune to keep on repurchasing every week or so (I know that's a lot of conditioning being done, shoot me). 

So whilst I was in Poundland the other month, I was just curiously checking out the shampoo and condioner aisle and stumbled across a condioner that sounded ever so promising, but one I had never heard of before, from a brand I hadn't heard of either. And truth be told, that made me feel a teeny bit skeptical. But hey ho I took it to the tills and went home with it.

The brand is simply named 'Argon Oil' and I believe they also do shampoo and hair oils that I am tempted to pick up, after all they're only £1! 

 

As you can see, it claims to 'rejuvenate and hydrate' the hair whilst leaving it 'shiny, smooth&healthy' and I honestly do agree. After I've used it I find myself constantly playing with my hair because it feels so soft and luxurious without the luxurious price tag! 

Shall we talk ingredients? 

I'll be honest, I rarely check what's in a conditioner; if I like what it does to my hair then I like it. 

Inside this life changer is a mixture of ingredients, and I should have known it was going to be good whilst reading them. 

The obvious due to the brand name, argan oil, and coconut oil stood out to me as I know that they feature in a lot of hydrating conditioners and actually help to tame frizz. And then you reach the chemicals and the shahfadbs-one's. Them ones. I mean check out the final one, try saying that fast! 

I know that a lot of them are probably only good for a short term period, and in the long run damaging, but it doesn't bother me too much. My hair is in such a dry condition that I need every help I can get, and if that's only for a short term, then that's fine with me. 

Look at how it emphasises my curls and brings out the shine whilst taming frizz! Win win to me.

So, the best £1 condioner?! The best condioner?! 100% YES! 

Let me know if you've tried it or have any other condioner that will help me- please! 

Making the Decision to Leave University

Today's post is going to cover quite a serious, and what I deem as an important topic: dropping out of university.

December 2014 I made that decision and I haven't looked back since. University was a period of mixed emotions for me.

I went there expecting to love every minute and I did love a lot of my time there, admittedly I wasn't there for long but hey ho. 

The problems began when I realised that my course wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. I imagined Events Management to be amazing, full of amazing opportunities and a bright future, when in reality I was being taught how to put a burger van into a field. My lecturers constantly told us to volunteer as it was experience that would get us a job.. Which led me to think that if it's experience that I need, then why am I paying £9 grand a year for a degree that I essentially do not need.

In terms of volunteering, the opportunities that were given to us were things like handing out maps to people visiting a farm festival. I mean I know you have to start somewhere, but to me that is making young people do jobs that quite frankly, no one who works for you would ever want to do. 

So that's when I started to realise that the course was all wrong for me, and maybe university itself was too.

In terms of the student lifestyle, I didn't think it was all that great either. Everyone around me was so lazy, not getting up until 3 each day, missing lectures and complaining they had no money, but not doing anything about it.

Whereas I worked whilst I was at university, which I think was a huge impact to why I left. I had money coming in each month and that felt good. So good. A proper income rather than the student loan. I had learnt the importance of money, whereas my friends were more than willing to spend all their money and then complain. 

I mean, I enjoy going out as much as the next person, but I think I maybe grew up and matured before a lot of other young people. I knew what I wanted out of life and saw uni as a means to an end, rather than a laugh and being able to hold onto youth for an extra 3 years. I was willing to work hard for success and made the mature decision to drop out and start the real journey to success on my own.

I now feel like I have something that not everyone else has: experience and determination. Everyone has a degree these days but not everyone understands that opportunities aren't going to put out to you on a platter; you have to work for them. 

I am so much happier now, working and not doing a degree and I haven't looked back since. University just was not worth it, there was no support from lecturers and no one to reach out to. 

If you are having doubts about whether going to university will be right for you, or even if you're there now and are thinking about leaving, I'd say do what is right for you. If you aren't happy. Leave. It was the best thing I ever did. 

Even in everyday life, if something isn't making you happy, leave it behind and don't look back. 

I'm now working for what I want out of life and couldn't be happier.

I hope this post has maybe helped you or just opened your eyes slightly to life outside of the social stigma of university.

Let me know your experiences as I'd love to hear all ends of the spectrum!

Holiday Haul!

Let me just start off with this: Summer is on it's way girls! 

It's official and I'll tell you for why.. My holiday is booked! Me and my boyfriend are off to stay on his uncles boat (Ooo check us out oo la la) in Mallorca in just 6 weeks! So inevitably I had a burst of excitement and went shopping for holiday clothes yaaaay. 

I went to Primark first so I'll start with what I got from there. Whilst doing the standard sweep of the store I stumbled across quite possibly the most amazing maxi skirt ever. It's just full of colour and such an unusual pattern that I can't describe so I'll let you see in the picture for yourself! It almost looks like a watercolour painting.. Gorgeous. It also has slits where each leg will sit which adds a subtle edge to the elegance of the skirt. I could have done with a size down but it's not too bad, I guess it means it'll be extra flowy and cool. 

The photo just doesn't do it any justice!

I saw another gorgeous maxi skirt that was white with purple and pink flowers all over it but they didn't have it in my size booo! But nontheless I can see this skirt blowing up in the blogging community this summer!

Moving onto shoes. I've needed some slip on shoes for a while now as I lived in my Nikes, Converse and boots in winter. I love tan shoes for summer so when I found these I knew I had to have them, and I'm sure they were only £8!

I just think these will look super cute with literally anything, especially a jumpsuit I bought that I'll be showing you in a second! They did come up quite big so I sized down, definitely try on first!

In the beauty section I saw this 'facial cleanser'. But I wasn't interested in for that purpose, I thought it would be a handy little gadget for cleaning makeup brushes because of the friction the little bristles would cause and for only £1.50 if it didn't work I wouldn't have wasted too much. But my hypothesis was correct and it cleans brushes so quick and easy it's incredible!

The final thing (don't worry I'll be going back for a huge spree when I have more time!) was just some sunglasses for £1! I've wanted some round sunglasses for ages as I think they look so cool but I've always worried they won't suit me but when I tried these ones on I fell in love.

If you're on the hunt for some sunnies, head to Primark first before splurging!

I then headed to Asda Living with the intention to buy some bikinis because I find it so hard to find bikinis that actually fit and support my boobs (joys having big boobs!) but I know Asda doing really pretty bikinis in actual bra sizes and for affordable prices so I always head there first. I genuinely found it so hard to control myself and not buy them all, and I finally settled for two. 

The first one is a gorgeous white and pink floral one. I actually bought the full set which I often don't do as I just mix and match, but this was too pretty to not.. And it was only £12 so you can't go wrong.

My eyes then fell on a pair of bikini bottoms with a cute daisy pattern and yellow ties that will go so well with just a plain bikini top.. And they were only £3! So I went on the hunt for a plain top and found this gorgeous Fuschia pink triangle one with almost a crochet effect. This sadly wasn't in bra sizes so I just sized completely up and got a size 16 as I I felt that would cover my bazookas enough!

Little old me then headed to the tills, but obviously got side tracked by the clothes. I'll admit it: 'I Hannah love George at Asda' there I said it, and I am sooo not ashamed. I firstly saw this tiled print,

jumpsuit, and as I said these would look so good with the tanned pumps. It's a lovely material and really loose and flowy but pinches in at the waist, which is great for my hourglass figure. It also has a nice zip detail on the chest area which means it can be easily dressed up or down depending on how much cleavage you fancy showing off!

And just as I told myself to go pay, I found quite possibly the nicest pair of shorts I've ever laid eyes on. They're just a plain navy.. But with a gorgeous little feather design on the bottom corner which adds a hint of colour. 

They'll be perfect for daytime and evening so a great versatile piece to have!

Overall I spent £51 in Asda so an amazing price for some great items!

If you struggle with finding bikini tops to fit your boobs, I 100% recommend Asda as they do a huge range of bra sized ones!

I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know where you're heading on your jollies!
