June Wishlist!

June - One month before my birthday - and the big bonus? I GET MY BONUS! Where I work every year we get a BIG bonus - a share of the profits type scheme and this year I should be getting around £350 - £100 of which i'm spending the other £250 is being put safely away for my flat deposit! So anyway, that money plus my usual wages equals me splashing out on a holiday wardrobe! 

So it's very much pink and patterns for me this month! I have a few seaside trips planned, so i think the spotty dress number is a must must MUST for me! What's your must from this list? I know it's not everyones cup of tea, but for me, this screams summer sun!


 Now I must go do some revision! :( 


Much love, xxxx

Losing my MAC virginity!

As many beauty bloggers, I've found that almost every single one owns at least one item of Mac Make-up, and up until this weekend I was a total Mac virgin! On Saturday, I was on a late shift at work, so my boyfriend suggested we take a trip to the shops, and I wasn't going to argue with that! 


After searching and trawling all around, I couldn't find a single thing I liked, we ended up buying a few baby bits for a friend and spot of lunch and was about to give up and go home! Until I bumped into a friend of mine who'd just been in to Debenhams and had just brought the Mac Concealer, with that I had a light bulb moment! 


I have to admit I spent at least an hour looking at all the make-up and I'd tried many different items, much to the point my boyfriend was going to pick something for me! But in the end, I settled with 2 satin lipsticks! 

Retails at around £14 each

The 2 colours I went for were Costa Chic and Empowered! As you can see from the above, they are both a coral type colour which I think are going perfect in line with my outfits for spring! The lipsticks themselves give my lips moisture and are very good value for money I think! I will be buying these again and my mac wishlist is building! It's becoming dangerous!

What was your first Mac purchase? Do you think they're good value for the money? Or too expensive for your taste?


Much love, Emily x

Inspiration

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."

Confucius

I saw this quote when researching something for my media and in someway struck a cord with me, because the fact it, this is so true! Whether people know it or not, everything and everyone has beauty within, and the true thing is, no matter how you view yourself, there is always someone out there who thinks you're beautiful. Inside or out. 

I've been feeling rather down lately due to alot of stress in my life, so when I found this, I thought i'd share and give everyone a little lift, because personally, I totally agree, everyone is beautiful, even if on the inside, which in all honesty to me, is the most precious thing anyone can have. I'd rather be a nice person on the inside than look horrid inside and beautiful on the outside, if that makes sense. 

I'm rambaling now, so i'll leave it there, and just a quick note to say, I love every single one my bloggers and they are beautiful, inside or out! 

Lots of Love <3

Holiday booking tips...

Right now i'm in the process of booking a holiday away with my boyfriend, and if i'm honest, it's more hassle than it's worth at the moment! We're both living on a budget, not poor just a budget! So to help my dear followers out, just incase you're looking for a holiday, I put together some helpful tips on picking a holiday.

1. Obviously, each holiday is different for each person, but one thing I found is, if you're looking for an easy, relaxing holiday with no stress, go All Inclusive. You pay extra beforehand but it's worth it once you're out there! I swear by it!
2. Contradictory to the above, it's it's a couple of you, (I.E no kids) then try and see if you can go self catering. You can save around £300 for a week (I kid you not!). But ALWAYS make sure there are places around so you're not stuck in the middle of no where, it's also a bonus to have a supermarket near by!
3. I will always recommend this, but however, I know this is not for some...BOOK LATE DEALS! If you're not really fussed where you want to go, but have saved up the money, you can get some great deals, from as little as £100pp! This is what we've decided to do. It also adds excitement because you don't know where you'll end up! I recommend going to a travel agents first and ALWAYS check where you're booking! 
4. Shop around! Never ever ever ever ever(!) go for the first thing you see, much like when buying a car, always look at what deals you can get, and if it's more expensive you haven't lost anything! Happy days! Try sites like Travel Republic ect.
5. Remember that there are many options! Like I said before is you want a simple, planned out holiday, go for packages, but you could always try booking your hotel/flights separably and see if that saves money, also try different airports because some are cheaper than others!
6. Try and get a lift from a friend/family to the airport rather than pay a taxi or the outrageous parking fees at the airport. Plus that way it's more reliable and you can get there as soon as you like and it's 10x cheaper!
7. When it comes to baggage, depending on what airline you go with, or what deals you get, more often than not you have to pay to put your cases in the aircraft so try and keep it limited on what you take, and also if you can try and share cases, I know for some this can't always be the case, but don't forget you can also have a carry on, which is a very reasonable size!

I have many other tips later on when it's come to actually booking your holiday, such as what to pack and the essenitals you'll need! But for now i'll think this will do! as I'm in a slight rush (bad times!)

Anyway, mucho love and enjoy these beaut of pictures from Weheartit!
