Mini Boots Haul | Review.

Hello everyone!

I hope you've all had a relaxing or productive Sunday. I certainly kept busy with laundry and clearing out my room ready for moving day. It's amazing how much you can hoard away and then it comes to moving and you've all of a sudden got 10 bags going to charity- where does it all come from! Aside from that I took a walk down to Boots to stock up on some of my skincare bits and a few treats. Yesterday, I went to Winchester with Alex and his parents and I found some lip products I really wanted to try however, all of the shades I wanted were missing or had been opened.. (come on girls). So, I waited until I could pay a visit to my local Boots and hooray they had all 3 shades and to my happiness the 3 for 2 promotion was still on . It's always nice to treat yourself at least once a month for all your hard work.

I'm forever trialing out new body creams making sure to try something different whenever I run out, but on this occasion I repurchased the 'Norwegian Formula nourishing body lotion with nordic berry' because I just love it so much. It's very lightweight and rubs in so quickly with no sticky feeling after. It retails for £5.29 which is so affordable!
To remove my makeup I always used to use my trusty Bioderma H20 water but it was so difficult to get hold of in the UK so when Garnier released their Micellar water I was keen to try it out. I've used nothing since because it just works so wonderfully. It's non irritant and removes my makeup thoroughly so of course I had to stock up when I saw it on promotion for £3 down from £5. I'm going to do a blog post in the upcoming future of my skincare routine and regime. 
Next on my list was my skincare. My skin is a tricky one because most products irritate it or break me out. I've been using the Boots Simply Sensitive range for years now after I was using their Boots Botanics range neither of which irritate my skin. My skin type is combination, oily t-zone, sensitive and prone to acne. I really rate this product line, its ridiculously affordable both toner and face cleanser retail at £1.99 each so I would definitely recommend them. 
Last but not least I bought 3 shades of the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet matt lipsticks which claim to last 24 hours. They are beautiful colours and I cannot wait to trial them.

A Day In The Life - My Weekend | Lifestyle.

For Christmas last year my partner, Alex and I bought his father a ticket to go Gliding at Lasham airfield. It was always something I had heard him mention he would love to do so Alex and I made it happen! Luckily, the ticket could be used at any point within a year of purchase. He decided to wait until our 4 month travels had come to an end as he wanted us to be there with him on the day so we could all enjoy it together. 
The weekend commencing the 23rd of July just so happened to be the first weekend Alex and I had off work together (yay-such a rare occurance) so it was done, booked and ready to go.

Saturday, July 23rd.

Alarm set for 9am I was up and ready to go by 10am. We got there nice and early and it was such a beautiful day- timed just perfectly. Being that his flight didn't take off until 11am we sat in the beautiful sunshine with ice creams watching everyone else take off. Then, came his turn. Alex, his mother and myself were invited along with to the runway so we could watch him take off. It was such a cool experience for him and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the gliders in the air.

After the flight, we headed back to their home for a yummy lunch and we all enjoyed an iced coffee sat outside in the beautiful sunshine. It was honestly such a wonderful day, and it was just so lovely to all have a nice time together.

Sunday July 24th.

'One day you'll wake up at 11:30AM on a Sunday morning with the love of your life and you'll make some coffee and pancakes and it'll be alright'. This was an ecard I read on Instagram on my Monday morning commute to work. I loved it so much because on this very Sunday Alex and I did just that. We got to enjoy a much needed lye in and then enjoy a coffee and some pancakes sat in the garden. We spent the entire day together just the two of us and it was wonderful. The recipe we used for the pancakes was one of Jamie Oliver's. If there is one thing we love, it's a good pancake and we have spent many years trying to perfect them. However, it seems Jamie Oliver got there first and we would totally recommend his recipe as we use it every time.
