Mini Haul #002



Hello there! 

 Today I went to Leicester with Gemma who is going to be on the same Photography course which I hope to be on in September at Norwich University of the Arts! 
 As Glastonbury is fast approaching, I decided to get a few bits and bobs for it. So here is my mini pre Glastonbury haul. Enjoy!

I first went to Primark as they usually have some good cheap clothes/'travel' essentials in there. I was set out to buy my first onesie, but sadly they didn't have any which I liked. So instead, I got this cute make-up bag where I shall put all of my mini essentials in- handcream, dry shampoo, etc. This was only £3 and it's fairly big, and seems like it is good quality.. I hope.

 

Next we shopped in Boots, Superdrug and Bodycare to get these essential travel items. Altogether they came to £8.99 So that wasn't so bad, I will need them though!

 

TOPSHOP SALE. Yes, it is here! Gemma and I love Topshop, so we had to go in! Anyway, in the sale brought this cute cardigan. I realised I don't have many cardigans so buying one couldn't hurt! It has a lovely soft material too it, as well as being really light and it feels such nice quality. This was from £42 down to £25. Bargin Eh?

 

Next in the Topshop sale, we have this lovely pinafore dress! I have been eyeing this up for ages. But being a student and having no money like all the time, I let it go. When I saw this today, I got so so excited cause it was only £10!!! Yes £10! So I whipped out my last gift card from my birthday and used it on that! It is beautiful. I just tried it on now and it fits perfectly. 

 I won't be blogging that much as I will be at Glastonbury, and straight after Glastonbury I will be in Norwich with my housemates for uni! Won't be blogging at least until the 8th July.

 Have a lovely few weeks! 

Love Always, 

 Katie.

Glastonbury Festival Wish List.

Festival Wish List.



Hello there! 
As some of you may know, I will he hitting my first ever festival this year at Glastonbury! Yes, Glasonbury! I actually can not believe I got tickets for my bestfriend, her friend and me! 
I have been dreaming of going to this featival since the age of 13. It was so on my 'Before I die I want to..' List. 

So as you can see, I created a set of things I want to have for Glastonbury.
I doubt i'll be able to get them all- but we'll see. 

Love always,

Katie

Beauty Haul #001

Hello again! 
Now, as you can see I spent some money (slaps wrists) and got me a few bits and bobs from Boots and Superdrug. 


The Tangle Teezer hair brush.
- Boots. £10.99

Not going to lie, I don't brush my hair everyday. I only brush when putting it up or when I wash it.. So bad right?! Mainly because I don't feel I need to brush it.. Does that make sense?!
Anyway, i could 't resist not getting this cute hair brush and it is amazing, it gets rid of all of your tangles just like *clicks fingers* like that! I can say for now on, I will start brushing my hair more often! 


Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix Serum Foundation Gel.
- Boots. £9.99

One thing about this foundation is the smell. It smells so so good (I know I am really weird..But aren't we all ;)). I woud say it is perfect for days when you don't want to put a lot of make-up on, or you can't wear too much make-up due to school and job work rules.
I honestly think it is one of the best foundations on the High Street at the moment, and just for £9.99?! Bargin! 



MUA Undress Me Too Eyeshadow Palette 
- Superdrug. £4

Next we have the famous MUA Undress Me Too Eyeshadow Palette.
I rarely wear eyeshadow, as I feel it doesn't especially suit my type of eyes.. I only wear it when i go on a night out (which is like once a month due to money and having no friends to go out with!) I would say, this palette is ideal for everyday use to create a natural look. 

I am really sorry for the quality of these photos, I have been lazy and just used my Iphone..
Anyway, I hope you are all having a lovely day.

Love always,

Katie.

15 Facts About Me



Hello there! 
As you can see i have just started up my own blog, so i thought starting with 15 random facts about me is the perfect way to introduce myself! 


15 Facts About Me.


1. I am a vegetarian!
 I have been a vegetarian for 6ish years. Technically, I have been a vegetarian for all of my life, as I was given meat but never ate because I strongly dislike the taste of it. I can't stand the texture and yeah. It's just gross. However, I work in a kitchen at a pub/restaurant and I very much enjoy cooking meat (especially bacon). I would never ever eat it though! Is that weird?!

2. I am 5 ft 2, and have size 3 feet!
I hate my height. I know some people think being a small height is so so cute. But I think the oppersite. Not going to lie, I often think if I was a couple of inches taller I would look thiner, and well a whole lot nicer. Being size 3 feet sucks, mainly because I have to shop in the kids section when going shoe shopping. 

3. When I was 16 on New Years Eve, I plucked all of my eyebrows off.
Yep, that's right. I was very drunk, and thought my eyebrows were hairy so I plucked ALL of them off. I woke up the next morning and was eyebrow less. Which wasn't good as I had to fill them in for like 5 weeks. DON'T DO IT KIDS.

4. I know how to play 5 different instruments.
The violin, flute, keyboard, piano and guitar. When I was little, I wanted to do EVERYTHING, and I mean everything. That included playing all of the instruments. In primary school, I learnt how to play the violin and the recorder (I don't count the recorder as a instrument ..) I gave up the violin because my teacher shouted at me and I cried. In secondary school, I learnt how to play the flute, keyboard and the piano. My flute got stolen at school.. I was very upset about that, and couldn't understand why would anyone steal it?! I had private lessons playing the keyboard and piano with my old best friend's sister. I very much enjoyed them. I am now VERY slowly learning how to play the guitar. I love the guitar so much. It is defiantly one of my favourite instruments. 

5. I'm scared of slugs, snails, frogs and toads.
Just EW. I lierally have a panic attack if I see a slug in the middle of the path.. Yeah. However, I am not scared of spiders. That is crazy right?!

6. For the past 3 years, I really disliked going DOWN the escalator.
I had to have someone literally force me on to the escalator, if there wasn't a lift. I didn't like going down escalators because I was scared of heights.. badly scared, and I always thought I was going to fall down and crack my head. Or my shoe lace to get caught in the escalator  But thank god, I got over my mini fear ;)

7. My first concert was S Club 7.
I think I was about 7 or 8 at the time. Maybe younger. But I was at Skegness or BlackPool beach on holiday at the time and they were playing.. on the beach or something. Can't really remember, but I defiantly know I saw them! Did I mention I was sat on a donkey eating a Mr Whippy Ice-cream at the time while they were playing?! 

8. Norwich, Brighton, Ireland, and London are my favourite places to visit.
For those who don't know, I am hoping to go off to uni at Norwich! (Norwich University of the Arts) 
So I can't flippin' wait for that! Norwich is absolutely beautiful too. Full of small vintage shops and cute coffee places. Brighton is just full of culture and beauty, and honestly I feel 'free' whenever I go there. I've only been like twice?! Ireland is just relaxing, and so so beautiful. London is well.. London. Everyone loves London! If you don't then... WHY NOT?

9, I am rubbish at applying false eye lashes.
I always need someone to help me... :/

10. I live in a town called Kettering.
Yep, Kettering is my hometown; It is poo.
I originally was born in China, but moved to the UK when I was 7 months old! :') 

11. Pizza is my favourite food.

12. I hate tea.
It's just gross. I can't understand why anyone would drink that 'water downed pee.'
But I am a coffee drinker!

13. I love Topshop.
Who doesn't?! Over half of my wardrobe comes from Topshop! 

14. I used to have two goldfish called Mia and Lilly out of the Princess Diaries.
I won them at a fair.

15. I bite my nails.
I started when I was 9?! And I can't seem to stop. I tried EVERYTHING. NOTHING WORKS.
But don't do it. It's a horrible habit. 


Love always, 

Katie
