Hi everyone,
So back in 2010 i really became interested in watching beauty related videos on youtube, I broke my leg back in july which ment i felt a bit issolated from general day to day life, i wasnnt able to go to work, collage or generally socialise with the outside world due to my injury. Then i discovered youtube, there are some amazing youtubers out there who i really admire, and maybe sad to say but they allow you to enter there world and allow you to disscover amazing products, events and stores that you may generally never come accross.
Im just a normal average 26 year old so who am i to say this but i thought id let you know about the three youtubers/bloggers that i have followed from day one and encourage you to check them out.
1. Sprinkle of glitter
sprinkle of glitter has been created by louise, a mum who has a passion for bauty, fashion andof course her child, baby glitter (so cute). Louises videos are great whether its a boots haul or a vlog of her day to day life, Watching her videos gives you a real insight into her life and an amazzing personality, she is very friendly, funny and very honest about products she talks about.
I must say i have bought many a products based on her reviews, Deffinatly check her out, she has a love for life and a very possitive role model.

Chit-Chat
Hi everyone!
Ok so at the moment im enjoying my blogging experience i love the idea of a little space of the web being dedicated to my opinions/likes etc. The only thing is is that i cant help but look at my blog and crave it to be 'perfect'. Now i know this is unrealistic but i think the graphic designer in me is struggling to keep things so unfinished, so basically im just letting you know im trying to develop and create a place on the web that im proud to call my own, even if only myself views it, everyone is there own worst critic. So if things start changing over the next few days bare with me whilst i try to get it right.
As always any ideas are welcome whether that's beauty reviews you would like to see or general chit chat posts.
again thanks for your support and happy blogging

L'Occitane Almond Oil Review
Ok so i may seem a little late to jump on the band wagon but after finally taking the plunge of purchasing my 2nd bottle of this amazing shower gel i thought it was about time to share my thoughts on this.
Firstly the first thing when i imaging the smell of almond i think of marzipan which immediately put me off purchasing this shower gel, when i was on a shopping trip at metrocentre i thought id call into the L'occitane store and finally smell this amazing shower gel, the smell is so fresh and invigorating and don't get me started on the texture it is an oil but the moment it comes into contact with water it turns into a cream foam which feels so luxurious! Its great as a shower gel or if i feel like a pamper session i run a small amount under a running tap and enjoy a luxry cleopatra bath. Heaven!
I would say if you do nothing else go and smell this shower gel, L'occitane stores are a lot like lush stores in the respect they usually have a bowl with water to try products out. Id definitely recommend this as a treat or would be amazing as a gift.

Bank holiday & Beach Bliss
Hi everyone,
May 6th 2013 I visited 'Newcastle does Vintage', this is an event which was held at the theatre Royal (I love this building it always reminds me of good times visiting when i was young) and its an opportunity to explore and purchase a one of vintage gem that has a whole history behind it.
There were rails of amazing clothes that you'd never be able to find on the high street, pretty florals, retro prints and amazing jewellery. One stall that really caught my eye was full of dainty pretty jewellery full of nostalgia from necklaces featuring Dorothy's ruby slippers to Alice in wonderland 'drink me' pendants. I managed to pick up a business card and the name of the stall is 'two penny lane' unfortunately the fair was really busy so i was unable to take any nice photography however the website address is www.twopennylane.com .
Everything is so precious and the packaging adds to the vintage nature of the products
Anyone who enjoys anything vintage id strongly recommend a visit to a fair held near you, one tip i would give would be to attend early as they do get busy and the best finds go first.
For info on your nearest fair check out www.britaindoesvintage.co.uk.
After looking around the fair i decided what better way to end my bank holiday than a visit to the beach with my favourate furry friend, lulu, yes lulu my little yorkshire terrier, rather than bore you with the details of my beach trip I have decided to take you along through photography.
