Topman is a girls best friend

After seeing a number of people on YouTube “hauling” jewellery from Topman, I decided to have a little peek in when I was near it the other day. I have 2 things to say about this experience, 1) Do boys/men actually wear this jewellery?!

2) Why have I never gone before?!

All the sale jewellery was reduced to £1 each, which by Topshop standards is a complete steal. I picked up 8 items and the original RRP was £66. So here’s what I got…

Necklaces

RIng and Earrings 

I am definitely going to check out Topman jewellery on a more regular basis. Do you any of you shop in Topman?! Got any bargains??

Slimming World

This week I lost 1.5lb. I had to go to the evening weigh in this week, which played on my mind all day and for that reason I hardly ate. I know that’s bad but I was determined to lose weight after last week.

This week I thought I had a good week. I tried hard to stay on focus and hardly ate any rubbish. I didn’t drink any alcohol this week either. However…..I had a Pic’N’Mix at the cinema, a Starbucks at the weekend, a massive Bagel and a Crunchie at work. I also ate a lot of bread.

I will be better this week and I am going to write down everything I eat from Thursday to Tuesday.

Do you have any healthy Slimming World tips and recipes you would like to share?

Weekly Weigh In 15

Hey everyone, I’m back. I know it has been a while since I have blogged but I just have had a lot going on and I was enjoying my summer. Having said that I feel like I’m ready to make a return to the blogging world. It feels like I’m starting all over again and I would like to thank all my follows who stuck by my and waited.

In order to get back into the swing of things, I’ll start over with a wee quick Weekly Weigh-In.

Weight- As many of you know, if you have followed my blog for a while I have been trying to lose weight. In order to get myself in gear I joined Slimming World. I am finding it hard and easy at the same time. Some days I just want to eat everything in sight but I generally am good. I think I might start posting some recipes on here, as I am cooking so much more these days. I will update my weight every Wednesday as that is my weigh in day.

Shopping – Since my last blog post, I have bought a lot of make up and not so many clothes. Recently I have been getting obsessed with jewellery and have gathered up quite a bit in the last while. I may dig out what I can remember buying and share them all with you, as there was a few bargains.

Work – For the first time in a very long time, I now only have 1 job. I recently got my contract changed to 31 hours a week, which I will find hard adjusting to. I am still in denial about the fact that I have graduated and should have a proper job and I’ll just still to my shop job for a little while longer.

Life- Life this past while has been full of ups and downs. My and my bf split up in April, and it was a bad time for me. We have recently started “dating” each other again, in the hope that we can make another go of it, which I am so happy with. In the break that we had, I rediscovered how important friends are and I am so lucky to have so many good friends I have, that I can rely on.

Hair – The last time I posted on here, I was a slight blonde. Now I am a fully fledged member of the blonde community. In my usual ways, I am bored of it already and want to get some more brown through it in order to be completely brown again for the winter. I am never satisfied with my hair. It feels so dry these days, so if anyone has any recommendations for dry, bleached hair please let me know.

This was such a rambly post, but I have 2 months to fill you in on. And if anyone forgets what I look like here’s a *drunken* pic and please ignore the bun ring as I did fix it.

Anyone miss me?!

A new start for me.....

Wednesday will be a new start for me. Fair enough I should have started on the 1^st of the new month but its my birthday tomorrow so I wanted to wait. I feel that if I announce to other people then it will happen, so here goes.

I’M GOING ON A DIET

Urghhh I finally said it. I need to stop eating so much rubbish and I need to stop spending money on rubbish things.

 

I lost weight over Lent, however since then I have put some back on. I am back to the point where I am hating my body and I know I need to drop a few pounds. I ideally would love to lose about 2 stone and I know this is a lot. But I am going to try. I am going to do it in stages and have different targets. My first target is to lose 7lb by the 7th of July which is just over 3 weeks away.

I’m thinking of keeping a food diary and posting it up here. I really hope it will help me.

So if you have any ideas how I can lose weight please leave me a comment and tell me. Anything is a help right now.

Nail Varnish Collection -Part 1 - Revlon

As promised a while ago here is part 1 of my nail varnish collection, sorry it took so long.

I don’t have many Revlon shades as I find them a bit expensive but I do like to buy them when they are on offer. They normally retail for around £6.29 and sometimes Boots has them on offer for 2 for £8.

So here are the shades that I have;

Blue Lagoon – A lovely shimmery pale blue

Emerald City – A matte emerald green

Peach Petal – A lovely shiny peach colour

Tropicana – A summery orange/coral colour

Cherries in the Snow – A red meets pink colour

And here are the swatches in the same order, with one coat each

Do you have any Revlon shades you would recommend?

Flower Power NOTD

In order to cheer myself up from the gloomy weather we have been having lately, I decided to make my nails a bit summery. I am so bad at nail art but I thought I would have a go.

For the nail colour I used “Blue Lagoon” by Revlon, and for the flowers I used a white from Rimmel and a yellow from Miss Sporty. I had just received my new nail art tools from eBay so I decided to give them a go.

I don’t think it turned out too bad and I will def be trying some simple nail art again.

Do you use much nail art on your nails? Or do you prefer the simple look?
