Now that we are in June and Summer is now upon us I have decided to do a list of aims and goals for the month. If you don't know already next month on July 18th I will be taking part in the Race For Life with my friend Victoria. So some of my aims are to get pumped up for that and some are to do daily. If you are interested in donating to help us with our fundraising you can visit this page (here). Little donation or a big one would mean a lot to me. All donations go to Cancer Research UK.
- Yoga/Long Walks - I used to do Yoga many years ago and it slowly got put to one side as I started working and could say I got slightly lazy...no that is the reason actually. I hardly ever go for long walks, I mostly get a lift to work or catch buses/trains to places. Seeing as the 10k race that I am taking part in involves walking/running I would need to be fit and ready to be walking so much. So my aim is to do Yoga at least 3 days a week and go for a walk maybe in the morning or afternoon to work or else where.
- Drink More Water/Make More Smoothies - Drinking wise I am never the best when it comes to drinking water. The drink I mostly have everday is lemonade and some days I have noticed how bloated I feel once it comes to eating a meal to the point where I can't even eat most of my meal because I feel full already. It also hasn't helped my skin as I have experienced more blemishes around my chin. So I am going to stay off lemonade and stick to having water. I also have a smoothie maker that I have not used for a long time so I want to try and make my own smoothies or follow recipes of what others have done.
- Visit Somewhere I Have Never Been Before - Recently I have enjoyed going out of Birmingham and visiting my boyfriend who is currently in Stoke. I had never been to Stoke before so visiting him and going to new places for him also has been exciting. But now my next place on my list is Brighton. I have been wanting to travel to Brighton for a quite a while now and I think this could be a new trip for me soon. If you know any good places to go to in Brighton please feel free to tweet me or leave a comment below on this post.
- Take More Photos On Instagram - My instagram page has become abandoned recently, I used to adore taking photos on my instagram as I liked the idea of sharing memories or just small things with my followers, you guys I guess if you do follow me on there. But now I just want to start taking photos again even if it is just a small thing or something memorable that I do want to share.
Do you have any goals set for this month?

Blue Check Dress - River Island // Romper - Topshop - // Pencil Skirt - New Look // Boyfriend Jeans - Topshop // Handbag - Fossil // Plastic Sunglasses - H&M
Payday is just around the corner so here I am today with a new payday wishlist. Starting off with a pair of black dungarees, I stated on Twitter earlier today that I don't know whether to have a pair because they just go in and out of fashion every single year! But as soon as I saw this pair on Topshop i'm starting to rethink it all and now I want to give them a try. A beauty product next and now that I have said that I want to try at least everything from Lush besides their bath products, I come across their shampoo bars. I've heard good and bad things said about them but I did have a smell of this when I was in Lush a while back and it really made me wish I'd of bought it to give it a try. If you are wondering what it smells like, it smells like Rose Jam (love heart emojis). I have been seeing these button front pencil skirts for a while now and it's been a long search to find the perfect one. Until I found this one from New Look in a tan colour which is something I would never normally want but I could imagine styling this with a few of my Summer items.
I am so happy that check is coming back this Summer, so easy to style and you can still look chic especially in this check dress from River Island. Next are some boyfriend jeans from Topshop, I am loving my ripped jeans from New Look but I think I do need a pair of boyfriend jeans for the Summer which are ripped aswell. I have been slightly obsessed with Fossil at the moment and I just want all their handbags in their collection. But this Sydney Satchel one needs to be added to my collection of handbags. Polka dots and camel are perfect for Summer. Lastly are some sunglasses from H&M which are the mint/white frames, always love H&Ms sunglasses so will most likely be picking up this pair.

From L-R
Ring - Pandora // Sleeveless Top - New Look // Stripe Tunic Top - New Look //Floral Oversized Shirt - New Look // 'Beach Holiday' Candle - Yankee Candle // Seventies Spring Converse - John Lewis // Zip Pocket City Bag - Zara // Ballerina Shoes - ASOS // Leaf Print Trousers - TopShop
This is the first of many payday wishlists, now that I have my new job I can now look forward to buying some new things. As soon as its Spring/Summer I feel the need to buy a whole new wardrobe. But jewellery wise I am loving Pandora especially their rings. I am hoping to have a big ring collection by Pandora and this one should be added to my collection.
I am loving New Look right now, everything that they have online and in store is just making my bank card scream at me to buy everything...
I especially love these items which are from New Look. This sleeveless top is so pretty and festival like which is all in at the moment. Stripes, you can't say no to some stripes and this tunic top is just one that I cannot resist. Oversized shirts are still going, I have never actually worn one before but I feel that with some cute leggings and converse this could be a pretty look for Spring.
Moving on from New Look and onto candles. Yankee have released some new scents from cakes to Summer vibes and I particular love the sound of this one called 'Beach Holiday'. You can just imagine this to just smell like the sea side which is something that will get me pumped for the Summer mornings/evenings.
Shoe wise I have been wanting a pair of white converse for quite a long time now but I have just never bought any. But when you wear so many ballet shoes or your old vans you sort of just want to get something comfortable to wear on Summer walks. So I think this time I will be getting my pair of converse.
I never was a bag lover until most recently I have been hunting down the perfect one and where do I find one but Zara. Zara are one for their bags, especially the city bags which come in good hand if you travel a lot and you are carrying quite a bit of essentials around. More shoes and these ones from ASOS have been on my mind for quite a while. I saw Suzie from Hello October wearing these a few times and I just need them in my life.
Lastly are a pair of trousers from Topshop. Being one who lives in jeans I needed a pair of trousers that I could wear for any occasion and I think these leaf print ones should belong in my wardrobe.
What is on your payday wishlist?

Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen - £6
Ever since I started swooning over Alexa Chung and her perfect eyeliner flicks, my determination to get those flicks has become like a mission. This means that I have tried more liquid eyeliners than I would care to remember and I have had those wonky eyeliner days where one eye would not match the other. I've always found it tricky, even in those school days my friends would get it just right. But since a few months ago I have discovered the genius that has been helping me finally get those cat eyes.
Like I have said I have been through a few of these so called 'perfect' eyeliners and I have liked a few. I have swapped brands quite a lot. Looking for the one that stays put all day, doesn't smudge and gives you a crisp flick that many other girls who can pull off the eyeliner like Alexa would be jealous of! Before I start off this review, I just want to say that I do not think that this is a 'perfect' product...it's a very, very good one, but it's not the perfect one I have yet to discover.
As much as I love Soap & Glory products, their make up is something that I have never ventured into. When my trusty eyeliner (the one that I had used through college days and always went back to) ran out, I took a little wonder into Boots and over to the Soap & Glory make up stand and stumbled across the Supercat Eyeliner Felt Tip Pen. I had always heard great things about this eyeliner but I just never thought of giving it the chance, so once I saw it I just had to buy it. What I have always loved about felt tip liners is how easy they are to apply, you have none of that faff of having to fiddle around with a teeny tiny pot of liquid liner and one of those plasticky stick like brushes which I can't bare to go near as they are just the worst.
The question is does this last longer? and the answer is, yes it lasts literally all day! I guess one of the downsides is that it isn't exactly waterproof. And I do get watery eyes especially if it is so windy outside and it blows into my eyes. When it comes to removing your make up after a long day in the evening, it comes off like a dream. I know from reviews people have said they didn't like the smell...well the smell does not bother me.
For the price that it is I think that it is well worth the money and it's something that I would most definitely buy again next time this one runs out. This has also made me curious about what other make up Soap & Glory has to offer. For now though I am hoping they do bring out a version that is just a tad more waterproof for us watery eyed ladies.

Before I start I would just like to say that I do realise that the bottles are in the wrong places but that shouldn't bother anybody...just me. #OCDProblems. I bought this lovely set from Fragrance Direct which sell discounted Make Up and they sold this at just £5.99! This set consists of a a 5ml bottle of First Base, a 5ml bottle of Mademoiselle and a 5ml bottle of Good To Go Top Coat. All of the nail polishes apply like a dream, with no streakiness at all. Plus, both the first base and the top coat dry fairly quickly so it reduces the time taken to do manicures, which is always a bonus. However, when I was applying Mademoiselle, it did take around 3 thick coats to make it fully opaque, but this could just be down to how pale the shade is.
After I wore the kit for a little more than a week, there was a few chips, but nothing that you would notice unless you were really staring at your nails. I can definitely see myself buying the first coat and the top coat in the future as I was really impressed by them, they both left my nails feeling so strong and shiny. The Mademoiselle nail polish is definitely a pretty shade once it's fully painted onto your nails. It was such a bargain from £14.99 which is the normal price in Boots and Superdrug. I know that Fragrance Direct have sadly sold out but TK Maxx do also sell this at the same price that I paid for.

I get so excited when Benefit release a brand sparkling new product and I'm a sucker for retro/vintage packaging and of course the brand - Benefit! They are set to launch the new Roller Lash mascara which is designed to lift and curl your eyelashes the same way curlers lift and curl your hair. I gotta say I love how Benefit have used a print of hair rollers on the promo. This mascara features a Hook 'n' Roll brush with tiny hooks on the bristles, which catch lashes, lifting and gently pulling them to create ultimate curly lashes. The black-ink formula contains Pro vitamin B5 and serin, known for their lash-containing benefits, and is said to provide a 12-hour curl-setting effect. Now if you like to use eyelash curlers and curl your lashes you won't need to with this mascara. This mascara isn't set for release until March, however you can be one of those lucky ladies buy purchasing this months ELLE magazine and get a small sample like I did! This mascara is well worth the wait if you really want to buy the full sized version when it is released in March.

I have been a huge lover of Ebay lately and I don't know if it is a bad thing or not seeing as I have bought a lot of things lately! But the prices have always been lower than £10, one of those items I have bought recently are these Professional Kabuki Brushes Set for just £1 with free delivery! You can buy these brushes in 8 different colours, I decided to stick with the Gold and Black which I am glad about. I haven't used them yet as I only got them delivered yesterday to my door but I am so excited to. They feel sooo soft and they came in such good condition. Bubble wrapped and in a sealed packet so they didn't get damaged which was good.
They don't exactly have names for each of the brushes which is a bit disappointing but I guess it will be an adventure to see what each brush is good at. Just so you know before you do buy these that they are coming all the way from China, so they do take a while I come although these were expected to come in February so they came a bit early for me which I am not complaining about. If you do want to buy them the link is here.
I wish I could say more about the brushes but I will do a review very soon once I have tried them out.

So if you didn't know from my Twitter which is @_milkyte4_ I reached 100 followers on Bloglovin' on Friday night. I am still speechless because I didn't think that I would ever reach 100 just because I know I haven't stuck to blogging these couple of months. But now I definitely know that I want to keep doing this as I love sharing things with people even around the world as I know that it isn't just people in the UK that read my blog, there are other countries too and I have to say thank you for supporting me. Something that become a hobby has now become something that I want to keep on doing now that I know that you do read what I talk about. I will do a giveaway very soon to say thank you so keep your eyes peeled for that. Be sure to follow me on twitter or Instagram which is the same user as my Twitter as I will post about the giveaway on there aswell.
