What I got for my 21st Birthday!

So last week it was my 21st birthday, I looked forward to it for so long. Unfortunatly my mum was in hospital all week so what we had planned a spa day and overnight stay in a luxury suite had to be cancelled and last minute plans without mum were arranged. Of course it wasn't the same but we made the most of a bad situation. My mum was able to come out of hospital for a few hours a couple of days later so our party went ahead at the weekend. Luckily mum is doing ok, she's still in hospital but doing ok and were hoping she will be out of hospital this week and our spa break can be rearranged.

Anyways I thought I would show you what I got. All my family gave me money including my parents who generously put a large amount of money into a premium bond so I don't spend it and it can be used to buy my first car. So here are the gifts i received to go with my money.

 My boyfriend very kindly bought me these lovely gifts, including my favourite sweets which id already eaten when these photos were taken. He bought me these pjs bottoms after knowing id searched everywhere for them!

These gifts were bought by my parents, after not asking for anything and knowing i was receiving money for a car I was very surprised to see these amazing gifts as i was expecting nothing. As you can imagine the White Company gifts were the most amazing of all as I've wanted them socks for ages and the pjs are unbelievably soft!

The Watch Shop: Jewellery Edit

I was recently sent some jewellery by WatchShop.com (who knew they sold jewellery too), I was very lucky to be able to pick two items from the website which I would like and I am very grateful to WatchShop.com for sending these pieces over. I managed to get these in time for my graduation too so they were perfect to wear for this special occasion and I plan on wearing them again for my 21st birthday next week!

The first item that I picked was this Micheal Kors bangle, I love silver jewellery as I think it suits me more than any other colour so when I seen this it instantly stood out at me I love the buckle detail as I thought it was a bit different to anything I've seen before. When it came to choosing a bangle I had so much choice on WatchShop.com because they stock so many different amazing brands so it was a very difficult choice but I'm very pleased with this bangle. The packaging this came in was also gorgeous I love the little suede bag with the silver detail.

The next item I chose was this Ted Baker necklace, Ted Baker has forever been one of my favourite brands I think its like luxury for less. In particular I've always loved their jewellery and this necklace stood out to me, there is something so pretty about this, I've been styling it a lot with plain white v neck tops and it just add a extra touch of class to the outfit. For £39 I think this is a great price and would make the perfect gift for anyone. 

Overall Im very pleased with my experience on WatchShop.com  the delivery was very quick which is always a bonus and their customer service is great. They have a wide range of jewellery and watches for him or her so if you're ever looking for a gift then I would highly recommend that you take a look at WatchShop.com.

Rimmel Stay Matte Lipsticks

I was recently sent over the new Rimmel Stay Matte Lipsticks, as you can imagine I was very excited to try these out, for one I love Rimmel and two I'm obsessed with matte lipsticks. When I say obsessed I  basically mean there the only formula of lipsticks I actually wear. This new range comes in 15 different shades and are avlibale from the usual places: Boots, Superdrug, Feel Unique, Asos and Asda etc...

The first thing I loved about these was the formula, they feel so soft on your lips and they are so fast drying, I don't know about you but I'm always smudging my lips before there dry so I loved how quickly these dried. The applicator itself is a doe foot applicators so pretty bog standard. Also I love how long lasting these are, they don't just rub away and you don't suddenly realise once you've eaten some food that you no longer have any lipstick left as they last so long, you should of seen the trouble I had trying to get the swatches off my arm!

My favourite is moca and Latte To Go, I've found myself applying moca all over my lips and then Latte To Go in the middle and it gives a perfect combination. 

 These are available at £5.99 each and in my opinion are worth every penny!

You can find them here.

Keep your car new

Source: Here

Todays post is going to be all about keeping your car new, a lot of people love it when they get a new car (who wouldnt!?) but how many actually ensure that their car stays as good as new?

Cars have changed the way we do everything and are a crucial part of our day to day life but if not taken care of they can be a very very dangerous thing, we’ve all heard horror stories and terrible road accidents that have sadly taken peoples lives.

There are many different ways in which you can prevent these terrible accidents from happening:

Car Servicing

This is so important, and includes a range of things from tyres, brakes, exhaust and oil change. 

Tyre maintenance is so important as the tyres are what keep you in contact with the road. Tyre pressure is very important to ensure they don't ware and tear too fast, most manuals from the car will tell you the correct pressure for your car but if unsure always double check. You're car has to be fitted with the correct type for its use as this is the law and its essential you know when you need new tyres. 

MOT Tests

These are so so important and again is the law so make sure you always get your mot when needed. By not taking a MOT test your not only putting your own life at danger put you are putting other motorists lives at danger as you never know what could be wrong with your car.

If you’re looking for any vehicle service and new tyres then book Online at Ossett Tyre House website.

 They offer a wide range of services from, MOT Tests, Tyres, vehicle security and vehicle diagnostics.

Southport!

Every Spring/ Summer I visit Southport, for those of you who don't know its not too far from Liverpool and is a seaside resort. I love taking a trip there every summer and sitting on the beach eating an ice cream, there really is nothing better. It has the few shops you would expect in your normal town and a few unique little shops. 

Its perfect for families as it has a beach, arcade, outside gold, fair ground etc.. so it makes for a great day out, especially when the sun is shining! 

So here is a a photo heavy post of some photos I took , if you ever get the chance to visit in Spring or Summer I would definitely recommend that you take a day trip there!

Hope you enjoyed, let me know where your favourite place to visit is in summer. 

Organic Products

I was recently sent a range of Organyc beauty products, as you can probably guess all their products are organic which I love, there aren't enough around on the market and I'm all for using anything organic if possible. This range has won awards for the best organic products 2017, so obviously all sounds good! 

The first product I tried was the organic ear buds, firstly this box comes with 200 ear buds which is pretty standard, they are made using organic cotton and the stems are made from recycled cardboard as well as all packaging being recyclable. Overall I really liked using these, the stem is slightly less strong as normal ear buds but the ear bud itself works just as well as normal ear buds but with the added bonus of them being organic.

The next product is cotton pads, these are something I use on a regular basis so I couldn't wait to give these a go, this pack contains 70 small pads. The only downside for me about these is that they are small so I do have to use two but overall I love these they feel supper soft on your skin and it feels amazing to know they are made out of organic cotton so will be gentle and kind to you're skin.

Lastly are these cotton balls, you get 100 in this pack so is a large pack. I don't use these on a regular basis but its always nice to have these in. These are just as fluffy as you would expect and are not much different to normal cotton balls but again these have the added benefit of being organic.
