Now I had to say goodbye to the tones of berries, I'm slowly getting back into the pastel colours. Right now I am loving blush pink, especially on clothes.
For highlighting my dewy Spring skin, I love to use the Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette. Pairing this with a pinky coral blusher like Revlon Racy Rose Powder Blush gives me a natural look.
I don't have many bright lipsticks but I did pull out this Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm in "Demure". This is a shy pink colour, easy to apply and it's shiny. The other day I decided to get this NYX Professional Matte Lipstick in "Antwerp". I had seen this colour on a couple of people but was scared to give it a try as it is quite 'out there' meaning bright. But I really think this could be a favourite for Spring and Summer.
For fragrance, I've pulled out my favourite Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream. It has a soft feminine scent along with the pretty daisy bottle. It's the perfect fragrance for the warmer weather! For a lovely body mist I love this Pink Grapefruit from The Body Shop. I tend to wear this one quite a lot especially in the warmer days. For something sweet I tend to grab Zoella's Sweet Inspirations Mist.
On my nails, I will be wearing a lot of Essie Mint Candy Apple which is a lovely pastel blue colour. Another one, Essie Meet Me At Sunset, is a bright orange/red shade that I just can't get enough of!
For a little bit of pamper, Lush Lemony Flutter is great for giving your cuticles a little helping. The scent reminds me of lemon curd, so beware you might want to eat your fingers after you have applied this. Another product for your hand is this Pink Grapefruit Hand Cream from The Body Shop. Their hand creams are my favourite, they make your hands feel lovely and not claggy.

Yesterday me and Sean finally went to meet some meerkats as part of a Christmas present from my parents. We travelled to Mansfield which took us an hour and thirty minutes in the car. On arrival we made it to Willow Tree Farm which was tiny and had other animals. We waited until our slot which was 3 o'clock to meet our new furry friends. When we got to the small pit where they were kept, four meerkats appeared to greet us. I had seen meerkats before but I never expected them to be how they was up close and personal.
A lovely girl also named Paige gave us a small plastic tubs full of scrambled eggs and meal worms, soon enough all four meerkats were around us. I couldn't believe what they were like, so friendly and calm. Their was one girl and three boys, their names were Lottie, Ander, Frankie and my personal favourite Timon.
Soon after the food was eaten, they were all about exploring us. Ander ended up in my hood, which came as a surprise as you can see from the photos.
Overall the experience was so lovely and was worth it. If you know somebody who would love a gift like this, their are loads of great deals on Wowcher or Groupon.

Ever since I started blogging 2 years ago, I have always been on the look out for the best stationery. I now have a collection of notebooks, pens and organisers that I have found in shops like Homesense, Flying Tiger, TK Maxx and many more. I try and stay clear of the most expensive brands for stationery, although I found this Kate Spade Sticky Note Set in Rose Gold from John Lewis and you could say it is pretty expensive for just some sticky notes but I couldn't resist it. Now to help you find the best stationery...
Homesense: I have probably talked about homesense so many times before because it is one of my favourite shops at the moment. They have EVERYTHING you can think of. Their stationery collection is just the best, the adulting and to do note books were very cheap! If you're asking why I must of bought these it is because they are rose gold and just pretty.
Flying Tiger: Another great cheap and cheerful shop is The Flying Tiger. I found some Kate Spade set of pencils dupes for just £1! They say things like "for explaining things or for invisible messages", I did get them a while ago so I'm not sure if they will have them but it is worth looking.
Zoella Lifestyle: Pencils that are still in their packaging and yet to be opened are these from Zoella's Lifestyle range. For affordable stationery and something pretty, Zoella's range is pretty much that. I still have my eye on the Once Upon A Time Journal which I know is a bit pricey but it is huge.
Kikki-K: One online website I recently came across was Kikki-K. I recently got myself a food planner which I have been using so much of. You come across so many gems on their website and have really good sales if you're on it at the right time.

So the other day I finally got an early upgrade for a new phone and I was beyond excited as I knew what I wanted to get. I previously had the iPhone 6 16GB on a 12 month contract. I love waiting for new releases especially from Apple so I figured when I had the early upgrade I would get one of the recent phones.
When I had heard about the iPhone 7 plus having the dual camera, I couldn't resist. Honestly the only thing I was worried about with this phone was the size; especially because it was a big hop from the 6. But you can carry on reading my thoughts below...
The dual camera is the main reason why I went with this phone. When I had the 6 I was always taking photos of everything so having a great phone camera meant a lot to me. You can really tell the difference between for example my old phone camera compared to this one. Whenever I would zoom in on my 6 the photo wouldn't be as sharp so the quality wouldn't be so great, where as the 7 plus if you zoom in the photo is sharp quality. Portrait mode is becoming my obsession, I have been taking more photos of everything. You can see photos below using this...
Battery life on this phone is insane, I don't need to charge it as much as I used to with my iPhone 6.
One thing I heard before I got this phone was about the removal of the headphone jack. This bothered a lot of people, for me it isn't a big deal. In the box mine came with headphones, which I thought was weird until I saw the little adapter (which I will lose fairly soon) that plugs into the lightening port, the same as where you charge your phone. It is so hard to get used to that part at the moment.
Overall I am seriously impressed with this phone and the camera. I love how fast the battery life is and the size really doesn't bother me. I'm really happy I went with this upgrade!

Today I thought that I would share with you my heavenly skin care from Lush. Now I call them heavenly because they truly are. I only started buying these treats a couple of months ago as I always just bought the bath bombs until I was convinced one day when I was in the Birmingham store. My collection has grown since then, so here I am to share with you my favourites...
Cup O' Coffee Face & Body Mask - As soon as you open this tub you are hit with the incredible scent of coffee. I have already nearly used all of this up and I love it. My skin loves it and I should think so as I apply a good helping , leave it on for 5 minutes and then apply a little warm water, and gently scrub to remove it. It wakes up my skin which is bloomin' marvellous!
D'Fluff Strawberry Shaving Soap - Now this one is fairly new to my collection. As I was making an online order I came across this and I just couldn't resist. I think I'm very new to the party but I never knew Lush did shaving soaps. This is just as pink and fluffy as you'd expect. It feels like some sort of foam and is scented with strawberry and vanilla. I tried this out the first time the other day on my legs and it really works like a treat. My legs felt so soft and smelt lovely afterwards. If you're looking to invest in a new hair removal treatment, I would definitely get this one!
Salted Coconut Hand Scrub - When the cold days hit us in the UK, I wanted to get myself a really good hand cream/scrub so I went to trusty Lush for help. I came across this tub and I was hooked instantly. I take a small scoop of this and massage it onto my dry hands. Add a little water and then rinse to cleanse. It contains coconut oil, sea salt, aragan oil and lemon which leaves hands so so soft and hydrated. This is a cold weather saviour.
Snow Fairy Body Conditioner - Same as Sleepy this one is also not available in store or online, but I just needed to share this one with you. My showers have become such a treat lately with this product. Whilst I'm in the shower I simply slather this cream all over my skin, rinse and then pat dry to allow the conditioning, and oils to sink in. You smell of a sweet scent that lingers on for hours.

On a gloomy Friday I received an email from an email from falseeyelashes.co.uk asking me to review a few pairs from the Rosie Bea range on their website. I was beyond excited as I was actually looking to buy some lashes for a night out I have coming up.
I decided to go for 'Kitty'* and 'Fling'* as they didn't look too intense. I like my false lashes to be quite shorter but still give me that volume to my eyes.
First thing I have to say is how bloomin' adorable is the packaging?! But onto what I thought of these lashes on my eyes...
Kitty is a fair short length lash that deepens in tone towards the outer corner of the eye that blends beautifully with the natural lashes. I loved the overall look of these lashes can't wait to see how they look with a more smokey eye and liquid liner. I hardly noticed I was wearing them as they are so lightweight.
I feel that Fling would be the perfect fake eyelashes to start off with first as it's soft, fluttery and has a wispy design that features a winged look but still natural. If you are like me and are not too keen on the overly dramatic nor obvious fake eyelashes then this pair is for you.
Falseeyelashes.co.uk stock over 1,000 affordable lash brands including: House of Lashes, Esqido and Red Cherry. The prices are much more affordable compared to the drugstore shops. As a bonus they offer 10% off your first order!
What are your favourite lashes?

Asos have some lovely things right now so my wishlist is larger than ever before. This jumpsuit will be perfect for a wedding I have coming up later in the year or just perfect for Spring/Summer parties. I adore this t-shirt dress with the lace hem and the pretty gingham style skirt. These are my current picks for Winter and the new year:
