Week in photographs #24

OOTD, well saturday

Magazine Freebies!

Sunshine, Party outfit, HQhair buys, Working out old school (oh gosh, my legs match the white of my Converse!)

Daisies, Manchester, Vegetarian pasta, Boots

My week has consisted of: shopping (yes, again, I know I have a problem), cooking, party pictures, sunshine, magazine freebies, waiting for uni results and watching rugby.

First, shopping, you can see my outfit from Saturday above. My shirt is from Topshop, cami from Primark, jeans from Dorothy Perkins, shoes from La Redoute and my bag is from Newlook. The weather in the UK has been gorgeous recently - blue skies and sunshine!

We went shopping to Manchester on Saturday and we went to Topshop (no sale section in store which was disappointing) and Primark (I spent far too much in that shop). The new Primark in Manchester is fantastic, so much bigger so you don't end up being trampled by everyone! I bought a few tops, sweaters and home wear. Hauls from Primark, Monki and Hqhair coming soon so stay tuned. Also magazine freebies this month have been amazing, most magazines in the UK have freebies in them this month - including Ciate nail polishes, Model co makeup, Rodial body products, the new Elemis primer and more!

Just a quick fitness update, after doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shed for about 10 days myself and my sister feel a lot fitter and healthier - it is a great dvd and I definitely recommend it. We stuck to workout one for a week and now we are on workout two and loving the initial results! We have also been eating a lot more healthy food such as passata, samphire and vegetarian sausage linguine (love it). We also love Sofrito pasta too - if you would like to see more recipes, particularly healthy vegetarian recipes just leave a comment below.

Also I have re-designed my blog this week too - I love the way it looks! I took a little while and a couple of coffees but I am really pleased with it. If you would like an interactive header or an interactive info section then message me at: heathernixon4@gmail.com and I will see what I can do - only £5 for a header or info section and if you don't like the design you don't pay!

I hope everyone had a great week x

Week in photographs #20

Sunny Day | New Clothes | Bury, The Rock | Magazine Freebies | Nail Polish Loves | Superdrug Order | #TBT | Baking | Patisserie Valerie.

My week has consisted of: eczema, new serum, shopping (going a bit crazy in Primark), online shopping, job searching, looking through old photographs (the photographs above are of mine and my sisters guinea pigs, unfortunately we don't have them anymore) and baking/cooking. 

This is the first week of my life (well since I was 4 years old) that I haven't been in school/college/university! I don't like it, I really miss uni already and I only finished 12 days ago! I have been looking for jobs within the NHS (research assistant jobs etc) and I have been looking at masters degrees - there is one I am really excited about (and I am going to apply for it in September)! It involves one year studying at University College London and one year studying at Yale in America. 

Apart from job/degree searching I have been doing a lot of shopping (someone needs to stop me!). I have made some online orders from La Redoute, Superdrug, Urban Outfitters, Monki and Amazon. Myself and my sister went to Bury yesterday (I posted my outfit of the day yesterday). We went crazy in Primark...oops and I am going back to Bury again later today with my parents. A beauty/superdrug haul is going up on Tuesday probably so stay tuned for that. As for my clothing/accessories/shoe haul I will be posting it as a series of outfits (like a look book) soon. 

As well as shopping I have been loving cooking/baking this week and I love the new nail polishes I bought this week - the Ciate polish is called 'pocket money' and the MUA polish is called 'amaretto crush' and I adore them. The MUA polish is only £1 and I am so surprised by it, it is fantastic! I am going to get some more later today!


I hope everyone had a great week - I will be contacting the winner of my UK giveaway soon so stay tuned and check your emails! x
