Outfit - The Plisse Stripe Dress

Another sale find is this Warehouse dress, which I got for £20, complete bargain. It was originally £52 so for more than half price you really can't go wrong! 

The Happiness Planner 2016

I finally received my Happiness Planner for 2016! I ordered it a few weeks ago but because they were waiting on a shipment I only received it yesterday. But I am so glad I've got it now - is it possible to be in love with a diary?

Outfit - The Ombre Top

I'm not a regular sales shopper but I am likely to pick a few bits out of the winter sales, they are always better anyway! I haven't gone crazy with sales shopping because personally I love the new stock that's coming into stores, but seeing as it's still really cold and a lot of the newer stock is very spring/summer for obvious reasons it felt stupid not to have a look at the sales. 

Lush - Magic Wand

One of my birthday presents was this Magic Wand from Lush - it's sparkly, smells like sweets, it's star shaped and comes with bells attached! I love Lush and I was so happy that I was finally able to try out this product, I think they've done it for the last few years - could be wrong... but I just think it's the cutest. It also smells the same as snow fairy, which is basically everyones favourite scent from lush - amiright?

If you don't know what snow fairy smells like then its very sickly sweet fruity scent, and its so good! 

What I got for Christmas and My Birthday

I know I'm a bit late to the party but here we go! Seeing as my birthday is boxing day I've just put a load of my presents together. This is just a selection of gifts, of course I got the usual chocolate but I've eaten that all now. I also was given three different mugs which I am using all the time so don't have a chance to take photos of them! 

*Disclaimer - this is not a brag or boast.*

I love the gold prism that my best friend got me for my birthday, its gorgeous! It opens up on one side, and has a mirrored bottom, I suppose it's kind of a terrarium but I wouldn't put anything inside - unless it was some rings or other jewellery. At the moment its the perfect accompaniment to my unicorn money bank on my bed side table! 

Now this unicorn was also for my birthday from my sister - she knows me too well! It's perfect in colour - love gold if you haven't guessed! I haven't put any money in it yet as I already have a money bank I am currently filling up. But I love it like a child...

I was also really lucky to get so much bath stuff! Clockwise from left - The Comforter (the best thing ever from Lush, literally my favourite thing), Rub Rub Rub shower scrub, some egg shaped bath bombs, Sex Bomb bath bomb, Gorgeous face moisturiser, Butter Bear and Love and Light hand cream. I also received the magic wand from Lush too, but I've used it since! 

From my boyfriends mum I got the cutest personalised cutlery, it says 'love pudding' on it, which is obviously the best part of any meal! It's so adorable - on one hand I want to keep them perfect forever, but on the other hand I want to eat all my favourite puddings with them! 

I was also bought some classic converse by my boyfriend for my birthday, I've wanted black converse for a while now and was so excited when I opened up that box! 

The nail varnishes are from my sister and they are such gorgeous colours, they are Topshop which is such a good brand of nail varnish. They were in a little trio called Christmas Berry Nails, in Culture Club, Ambient and Figment. 

You can't miss the best thing ever...which is this cat candle! I love it, again my boyfriend bought it for me and it's just amazing. When it's burned (not that I ever want to burn it, oh my it's just perfect) it shows off the metal cat skeleton inside! 

Just look at how adorable the fork and spoon is!

I was also fortunate enough to get the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual from my boyfriend, which is just amazing. I am no pro at make up, I am barely even a beginner so this book is perfect for me! To go along with this my sister bought me a load of Topshop makeup including a range of smoke sticks in neutral tones - Conspire, Deviant, Murder Mystery, Sinister and Dark Horse. She even got me the Party Proof Intense Mascara, Waterproof Liner and also a Magic Liner. From my best friend I got 'Happiness is...' which is a book with 500 things to be happy about, and it is super cute! 

Last but by no means least my parents got me the Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb, which I absolutely adore! It even came in a gorgeous box with a body lotion and shower gel. I try not to use it too much as I need it to last a whole year as I can't afford to buy myself perfume all the time! 

I was so lucky this year - as I said this is just a selection and I'm not trying to brag at all! 

A massive thank you to everyone for my gifts (I have already said thank you but I thought I would say it again!). I love them all and can't wait to start using more of the products and items I received. 

Do any of you have an awkward birthday?

Outfit - My Septum Piercing Experience

So I'd been thinking about a septum piercing for a while, both my friend and I in fact, and we finally set a day to get it done! Tuesday rolled around and before I knew it we were in Asgard in Southampton filling in a medical form!

It's buy one get one free so it only cost £15 each, which is awesome, so we paid and off we went. My friend got hers done first and she made little fuss, she was shaking and really nervous but didn't make a noise when the needle went in. 

I on the other hand...I have a tiny pain threshold - basically none existent.

Not My New Year Goals

I remember reading something a while back which said never tell people your goals because it makes it harder to achieve them. This makes a lot of sense to me, it lets you have 30 seconds of someone telling you how amazing it would be and how great you are, then around 10 minutes of you on a high and then you float back down to earth and don’t think about it for a while. Therefore not achieving anything.
