What I Did This Week #10.

1. Mini IKEA trip- I went to IKEA to take some legs back that I'd bought for my unit but typical me I ended up picking up a couple of bits whilst I was there! I got some picture frames and this cylindrical cushion in a cute check pattern.

2. Urban Decay night- I've written a post about this already so check it out if you wanna have a nosy!

3. Girly night in- on Saturday night me and my friend Dany when round to Lauren's house for a girly night in full of food and films! I met Dany and Lauren at work but they've both got new jobs and moved on recently so it's really nice meeting up with them regularly to catch up. 

4. My Nails Inc order arrived- which contained the super exciting new Floral varnish. I couldn't wait to try it out and put it on as soon as I opened the parcel. 

5. Wishlist dreaming- I seem to have fallen short on the money front this month and next payday is agesssss away. I really want to treat myself to a couple of things but don't feel like I can justify it. Can I win the lottery please?

I hope you're all OK and have had a nice week. Thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week(end) #9.

This is like my regular 'What I Did This Week' post except I've had a boring week but an exciting weekend! I've been working nights this week (boooooooo) but I've only got tonight to do then I'm back on days, hoorah! On Friday, we had a work night out- initially it was for no special occasion (we've had it pencilled in for ages cause we all work shifts) but then a couple of people have got promotions and new jobs etc so it ended up as a big of a celebration. Me and a few other girls stayed over at a Premier Inn hotel and got ready there during the afternoon. I took a ridiculous amount of stuff with mein this suitcase! I took about five outfit choices and loads of makeup and these three pairs of shoes! I also took all my shower gear because we've been without hot water at my house for nearly three weeks! It's been such a pain having to go to our parents' houses just to have a wash and shower! We're still waiting on it being fixed grrrrr. 

We went out and had a merry old time! I hope you've had a lovely week and you've enjoyed the weather this weekend! Thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week #8.

1. Home Sweet Home- after purchasing an unnessecary amount of housey items, I had to find places to put them all! I put together my new IKEA shelves and they've made a big difference to our bedroom. I've found places and uses for my new boxes and trinkets and I think they look lovely. 

2. I went back to work- after my week off I was back in work. I guess I needed to earn some money to replace all the money I spent on my week off! I'm back on nights this week which is rubbish but I've got pay day and a work night out to look forward to this coming week. 

3. My Nails Inc parcel arrived- I'm so in love with some of these colours! They're the perfect Spring colours- I'm loving the lilac one in particular.

4. I've completed my first cross stitch- it's taken pride of place in our bedroom in this cute frame. I feel really proud of this as I never normally complete crafty projects! 

I'm sorry it's a bit boring this week, being back at work has meant I've not had much time to do anything fun! I hope you've all had a nice week, thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week #7.

1. Holiday, celebrate- yayyyyyyyyy I've had a wonderful week off work, I feel spur reflexes and pampered! I've spoilt myself a little bit but I'll worry about that next week haha! I'm back in work on Tuesday but I'm being eased in with a training day so it's not too bad. 

2. Girls just wanna have fun- I think this has been the girliest week of my life! I've already written a post about my Big Mega Fun Times with my friend Dany this week so I won't bore you with the deets again! I've bought lots of lovely makeup and had a lovely spa pamper sesh so I'm all relaxed and chilled out. 

3. IKEA- I've been to Ikea today, I didn't neeeeeeeeed to go but I just really wanted to! I went with my mum and got some nice housey bits. I also went to M&S and Sainsburys near by and got some sale housey items too! I got a clock, a trinket box, some mugs, some glasses and more! I'll do a haul post if you're interested? 

4. Tidy tidy- as I've been off I've had some time to tidy up around the house. I got this cute basket from Home Bargains for £3.99 to keep my magazines in next to my bed.

I hope you've all had a nice week, thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week #6.

1. I finally used my foot spa- that I got off my parents for Christmas. I've always just used a washing up bowl in the past (classy) so it was a real treat to use this, I've been missing out! I found it super relaxing (note this was before I got tattooed).

2. I bought a L'oreal lips haul- I don't know what possessed me really but I'm glad I got them. As I've been working all week I've not had chance to try them all out but I'm super excited about wearing the L'oreal Rouge Caresse in Rock n Mauve it looks stunning!

3. I finally found the NYX stand in Next- I've been wanting to try NYX products for agesssssss and I finally got my hands on some products including this stunning eyeshadow palette. I can't wait to go back and buy more!

4. Quelle surprise, I went shopping- and bought two, yes two coats in one week! I've never been a fan of coats as I don't think they suit me but over the past year my collection has gone from one coat to about ten! This super cute pink one is from Matalan and the checked one was from New Look and was £17 in the sale!

5. I got tattooed- it was all a bit stressful as I wasn't booked in even though I should have been and had email confirmation proving it but what can you do! I'm super happy with the result and am currently experiencing the itchiness of the healing process.

I hope you've all had a good week- thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week #5.

1. I think I've found my style mojo- I've been through loads of phases with my fashion tastes but I've always struggled to find my own way in the style stakes. I've never wanted to be a fashion slave, or a Topshop queen but I've always loved fashion and clothes. I feel like I'm finally finding my groove and it's making me really happy- I'm actually enjoying planning my outfits rather than dreading trying on everything my wardrobe and still feeling rubbish! 

2. I discovered the M&S Best of British Collection- and thus bought my beautiful new handbag. I still feel guilty over how much it cost but I'm super pleased with it and I've loved using it. 

3. I bought some DVDs- I bought the film How I Live Now, based on a book I read when I was younger and it's still one of my fave books to date. I've also treated myself to the Game Of Thrones box set- I've watched it from day one but I like owning box sets because I'm weird.

Other than that I've been working as per usual! I'm getting tattooed this week which I cannot wait for! I hope you're having a lovely weekend, thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week #4.

1. Day out to Liverpool- I had a really nice day out with my mum on Thursday shopping in Liverpool. I got loads of mega bargains from Primark and I can't wait to wear all my lovely clothes! I also got some lovely wicker baskets in the sale in Primark that I've put my hair styling tools in to keep them tidy, they always look so messy!

2. I had a job interview- I was super nervous about it all week but it went really well! I didn't get the job but my close friend got it so I'm super pleased for her! The only thing is, all my work chums have got new jobs recently so soon I'll be left all by my lonesome!

3. I've been feeling creative- I bought a super cute beginners cross stitch kit from Hobbycraft and I've totally got the bug! I've started by making this for me and my boyfriend which I'm gonna out in a lil frame when it's done. I actually find it quite relaxing once I get into it. I've also been doodling outfit ideas, especially as I've been buying clothes a bit more out of my comfort zone so I've been dreaming about how I can wear them. 

4. I've been shopping online- I've not bought anything from boohoo for ages and I recently found loads of things I liked so I ordered them. Unfortunately, some of them didn't fit me and they don't do exchanges so I've had to return them then re-order the right size. I was pleasantly surprised that I needed a smaller size, always makes you feel better about yourself lol.

I hope you've all had a nice week! Thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week #3.

1. I had a bath- I can honestly say that this isn't a special annual event and I am a clean person! However, what made this bath different was that I posted about it and my evening routine (sorry, no nude photos here). I enjoyed doing this post as I'm really nosy and love the typical "get ready with me" posts or videos so thought this was a bit of a spin on that. 

2. I went back on day shifts at work- HOOORRRRAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!! I cannot tell you how happy I am about this. Unfortunately, my brain and body clock have been upside down and back to front so I've been using my beloved Yankee Candles to help chill me out when I'm wide awake in the middle of the night. My faves are Vanilla Frosting, Salted Caramel and Christmas Cupcake!

3. Girly day out- on Saturday, I had a wonderful girly day out with my boyfriend's mum. We went shopping and had our makeup done at Chanel before meeting up with the boys for a meal out. I bought some sneaky bits and bobs including some bargain Skincare, some bargain makeup, some Chanel makeup and a gorgeous bracelet. I also got this Somerset by Alice Temperley dress in the sale and it was a bargain reduced from £160 to £48. I've had my eye on it for months now and it fits perfectly. I'll do a collective haul post either at the weekend or next week as I'm going shopping with my mum this week so I mayaswell combine the hauls!

4. I shopped the stash- I love nothing more than curling up in bed or on the sofa with my Yankee candles on, watching beauty bloggers on YouTube. I find them so informative and entertaining! Watching them reminded me of some products I used to love but don't currently use so I thought I'd dig them out. I think with the seasons changing into SS, I'm favouring more 'girly' makeup with pink cheeks and natural eyes. I'm definitely in love with the Dainty Doll blusher. I've posted about this on my blog- go check it out.

I hope you've all had a lovely week, let me know what you got upto! Thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week #2.

1. Hair, hair, hair. Oh. My. God. I have had the hair week from HELL! OK, so I went to the hairdressers on Tuesday and had my cut which I'm really chuffed with. But because I've had it cut a bit shorter, it meant that all my ombré got cut out. So I asked for my ombré to be brought up higher which meant bleaching my hair. However, it turned orange (see bottom left pic) and I really didn't like it. So I bleached my hair again that night to make it lighter... It didn't work. So the day after I bleached it twice more and that didn't work either. So I just dyed pink over it cause it was the brightest dye I had but there was still horrible orangey brassy sections and it was totally uneven. So, I've ended up having to dye dark all over which I'm gutted about cause I loved my ombré. However, I'm getting used to it now- I'll post a pic at some point! There's one over on my twitter @Medusa_Roisin (follow meeeeeee).

2. Hitting the Shops. I've been to Tesco more times than I care to admit this week, mostly to buy hair dye and bleach etc. On Monday evening I went shopping with my mum which was nice and chilled I bought some leopard print slip-on Vans style shoes from M&S which I'm still deciding over ha. On Thursday evening I went shopping with my friend which was really nice and I got some good bargains (haul post to come). 

3. Enjoying my days off. I finished work Monday morning and was back in on Friday night so I've had a nice break. I've mostly spent it catching up on sleep and playing on Dark Souls (total dweebs video game, soz). 

Next week I'm back on days so it'll be work work work! But I've got a treat to look forward to as I'm having my makeup done at Chanel next Saturday yayyyyyyyy! I hope you've had a nice week. Thanks for stopping by x

What I Did This Week...

What I did this week:

1. Organised my makeup and beauty storage- I've sorted out my makeup (blog sale to follow at some point) and tidied it up in general. It's now much easier to find things thankfully! I posted about my makeup storage so check it out if you want.

2. I worked nights- oh the dreaded nights, how I hate thee! They really mess with my head and I don't sleep very well during the day. I'm half way through with two more weeks to go, day shifts cannot come sooner!

3. I'm giving a diet a good go- I'm following the Slimming World diet (under my own steam) and so far so good. I lost 4lbs the first week so hopefully I can keep going and not lose motivation. I've had a little bit of a blip this week but I'm trying to get back on track!

4. I bought the most beautiful dress from Topshop- I am in love! I think it's meant to be a loose smock type fitting but I went for a smaller size because I felt it suit my shape better being a bit more defined. It's a super light cotton material and it has pocket which I love in dresses, for some reason best known only to myself! I also treated myself to a sneaky beauty haul (post to come) by using my Boots Advantage Card points that I've been saving up. Totally helped with the January blues!

5. I watched Downton Abbey Series 4- I know I'm about six months late but I didn't get round to watching it when it was aired on TV and since I got it on DVD for Christmas, I've finally got round to watching it but I will admit that I've been a bit disappointed with this series. Is it just me or did nothing much really happen to anyone other than Anna?! I just need to watch the Christmas special now then I'll be upto date.

I'm going to try and make this a regular feature- obviously some weeks will be more interesting than others! I'm hoping it'll be a way of y'all getting to know me a bit better as well as inspiring me to get my arse in gear and try some new things! Thanks for stopping by x
