Hello Everybody,
There wasn’t a blog post up on Friday because my life has been very hectic lately. If you don’t follow me on social media then you may not know, I’m doing up my bedroom and office after moving home from Universty.
Spanish Beauty Haul
Being the beauty obsessive that I am, whenever I go to a new country I love taking a peek at the different skincare and makeup bits on offer. Different countries have different products and styles that I love experimenting with and testing out. In a matter of weeks, I’ll be in New York browsing the American drug stores for their latest fall makeup and skincare launches. How exciting!
For now, though I’m on a little Spanish island called Menorca. I can’t believe that I’ve never purchased any Spanish makeup or skincare items… before now that is!
Where have I been? // Life Update + Photos //
Hopefully, you would have noticed that there has been a lack of blog posts and online activity for the past month. I decided to take September off social media for two reasons. Keep reading to find out what those reasons were and what I’ve been up to…

Scroll free September…
Many of you won’t know this but like most people, I have struggled with mental health. I have suffered with anxiety since I was at secondary school and it’s only been recently that I’ve started to accept it and ask for help. Asking for help was one of the scariest things that I’ve ever done but it was definitely a step in the right direction and it’s something that I’m so glad I did.
My friends and family supported me the whole time and it’s so important to not be afraid to accept that you’re not perfect and ask for help. No one is perfect and mental health is not something to be afraid of!
In honour of sharing awarness for people who suffer with mental healthy I will be joining in in NHS’ scroll free September campaign. I will be taking a whole month off social media and I’m quite excited to see the difference that It could make to my mental healthy.

I will see you guys in October!
The next chapter of my life
Three years ago I was an anxious, less confident and shy person who could have never dreamed to be where I am now. I never thought I would go to university let alone get five offers and two unconditionals. Of course, everyone works hard to get to university but for me it’s been much more. It’s been a struggle of happiness, self-belief, passion and drive.

Dior Makeover
I don’t know how I’ve been blogging for four years and loving makeup since I was around 13 years old and I’ve never EVER tried Dior makeup?! Dior is a brand that I’ve always loved and adored yet I’ve never actually purchased or tried anything from Dior.
Recently I won £500 to spend in Boots (haul coming soon) thanks to an Instagram competition which is pretty exciting. I LOVE beauty as you can tell from my blog. When I found out that I had won £500 I couldn’t wait to get spending it on luxurious treats that have been on my wishlist!
Peach Iced Tea Recipe // *As Requested* //
I hope you are all well! A few weeks ago I made some delicious low sugar iced tea and some of you asked for the recipe! I did a poll on Instagram and many of you voted for me to make a blog post with the recipe so here it is.
This is a low calorie, natural version of Lipton’s delicious ice tea …

Goldsmiths Event
Recently I was invited to see Goldsmith’s new store extension in the Bullring, Birmingham. Goldsmiths are a jewelry retail store who have been around since 1778. Goldsmith’s specialize in luxurious watches, jewelry and wedding rings… I would love some of the rings from Goldsmiths. Future boyfriend take note!
