THE LIEBSTER AWARD

Happy Sunday Everyone! It's a super happy Sunday for me because the lovely Jessica Marie has nominated me and a bunch of other Bloggers for the Liebster Award. Now for me this is massive! I have been blogging for just over a year and to be welcomed and accepted into this lovely community feels amazing! Jessica has asked me to answer a few questions which I have left below! I'm going to continue to share the love by nominating a few more bloggers, I'll leave them and the links below! A massive thank you once again to both Jessica and all of you lovely people out there for your love and support!



What inspired you to start blogging?
I wanted to start up a blog a few years before I set up Prim and Propa and actually made a few attempts, pretty rubbish attempts but I tried! One of my lovely friends Jade has a blog called Gracious Silhouettes and she pushed me in the right direction after I uploaded an Instagram OOTD. This later became my very first post! 'The Photo That Started It All'

How is your blog different from others?
This was quite a tricky question for me, I think every blog out there has its own unique style and flare. For me I think its super important to be yourself and sometimes I think that can be quite difficult through words! I always try to be myself and add my own personal touch to my posts! Also I haven't really seen a lot of male bloggers out there in the blogosphere so I guess that's another thing!

Current TV addiction?
OK, I'm gonna cheat here because I've got two ... Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder. #EnoughSaid

Preferred flavour popcorn?
Salted always! Toffee popcorn is a maybe but none of this sweetened stuff you get at the cinema haha!

What's your signature recipe?
Ermm, okay truth time I don't really cook much. But I do make some mean Egg Fried Bread ... YUM!

Most treasured item of clothing?
Moment of silence please ... I had to get rid of this item in the summer because it was just beyond the point of wearable. Anyone who knows me will be able to answer this question ... It's my River Island Waterfall Sleeveless Cardigan! Honestly it was a staple in my wardrobe it went with everything and anything! I will miss it dearly!

If you were a character from a book, Who would it be?
I don't really know! But I want to be someone extravagant, happy, bubbly, caring and stylish! So if there's a character like that ... It's me! Haha!

Dream Job?
I would love love love to be a fashion stylist, that's my aim in life!

Describe your ideal Sunday afternoon.
Snuggled up on the sofa with a blanket and a Disney movie, that normally hits the spot! #ThumbsUp

Early bird or night owl?
I am most definitely a night owl! When I was in College and even now I always work best when it's night time, for some reason I tend to be more inspired after sunset!

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
I would ... move to London and try to achieve my dream job! Or even New York! I wouldn't want it to be smooth sailing because I think it's good to have hurdles, it puts things into perspective but I would love to achieve my dreams! Wouldn't anyone?

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! I can't tell you guys how happy I am to be nominated it means so much to me! Now I wasn't sure how many people to nominate but most blogs have said 11, so I have selected a few below! Please pop over and have a read of their lovely blogs! Also here are my 11 Questions for my nominees to answer should they chose to accept!

What colour would you describe yourself as? Favourite Disney Movie? What inspires you to write? Instagram or Twitter? Tell us a little bit about your blog? Explain your style in 3 words. Which city would you love to live in? Bath or Shower? Name your all time favourite movie. What blogs are you loving at the moment?

THE SPRING FAIR TRIP

Happy Sunday Everyone! This week me and two of my friends took a trip down to the NEC Arena in Birmingham to visit the Spring Fair! We left quite early in the morning so I was super tired when we set off and also quite hungry! I woke up a little earlier than planned so I didn't have time to eat any breakfast, this meant a quick stop at a service station! As a child I used to love stopping at service stations,  no idea why but it was always so exciting! And this time didn't let me down either because I got to have Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for breakfast! Healthy right? Haha! I'm a bit bored with all the fancy ones now my favourite are the original glazed! So tasty! We then hit the road again and not much later we had arrived! We picked up our passes and off we went to explore!


Now a little disappointing but I was told I wasn't allowed to take any photos which is super annoying because I really wanted to be able to show you guys what was there! But I'll do my best to explain what we did, We started off with homeware and this to me was the most exciting! I love homeware and I felt like a child in a sweetshop ... only I wasn't allowed to buy anything. Because this is a Buying show it is mainly for companies to view on what's new in the next season and they can deal with the designers directly in buying bulk product for a lower price. There were so many things I saw that I wanted to buy but unfortunately I wasn't able to buy just one *sad face* We still had a good look around and I felt super inspired by it all, the displays were amazing! I wanted to go crazy and redecorate my whole house!

Once we were done with homeware we moved onto Christmas! Which was magical but also really weird! It felt strange walking into a Winter Wonderland seeing as we Christmas has only just finished, but it was all so beautiful. One tree which really stood out was a vibrant and colourful black tree decorated with teals, purples, pinks and gold! The tree was decorated with glitter baubles, flowers and peacocks! My friends were in love with the tree ... I thought it was gorgeous but a bit too much? If you guys have read my .... you will know I have a monochrome tree and its very me! If that makes sense haha!

We then skimmed Flowers and Childrens toys before we got to the gift section where I visited a stand named Imabari Towels Japan. Most of the stalls we visited were super businessy and didn't really pay much attention to us once they realised we were not buyers or with a company. However the lovely lady at Imabari was super attentive and made sure I was okay. She was also super passionate about the brand. There was a particular hand towel that I was looking at which has white specks in the material. She told me that woven in the material was small bits of Japanese paper! But it was so soft you wouldn't think it was! We spoke for a while and I was leaving she handed me a little gift! Filled with lots of information about the company and a beautiful hand towel! If you want to read more about them please visit their website here!


We then visited the gift packaging and greeting card hall, my friend Priya is super into designing as is Suki so they were really into this section, I had a little mooch here and there and saw quite a few interesting stands! One in particular was a Pencil Shaving Card range by Ruth Jackson. I loved how quirky the designs were! We then walked over to the fashion and jewellery area, there was a fashion show on but it wasn't for another three hours and I was already tired from walking round! So unfortunately we missed that, the rest of the section was a little uninspiring for me ... there was nothing that stood out or caught my attention.

 By this point all three of us were tired and a little warm so we thought it was right to head home! After walking to the car we set back off onto the motorway but we weren't done there! Oh no we made a cheeky stop at Nandos! We were absolutely starving, its very easy to over order at Nandos and I think thats exactly what I did! I had a fillet burger with chips, coleslaw and halloumi cheese! It felt so good to sit down and have some food! We were there for a few hours having a good old natter so we ordered a few hot drinks aswell! The girls had some herbal/fruit teas and I had a Hot Chocolate ... Just look at how amazing it looks!


It tasted as good as it looks! Yum! Hope you guys have enjoyed this post! It was definitely worth a visit but as I said I was a little disappointed I couldn't take any photos inside the exhibition to show you guys! Have any of you guys visited the Spring Fair? If so, what did you think! What was your highlights! Leave your comments below, I would love to know what you're thoughts are! Hope you guys have a lovely week and I shall see you next Sunday!

THE SOAP AND GLORY REVIEW - ORANGEASM AND SUGAR CRUSH

Happy Sunday Everyone! I was in Boots the other day and was mooching around the Soap and Glory section and thought I should pick something up. I've tried the Hand Food from Soap and Glory before but not much else but everyone is always raving about their stuff! I ended up picking two bath products! The Orangeasm Body Wash and The Sugar Crush Body Scrub!


I'm going to start off with Sugar Crush and its oh so amazing scent! I have heard so many bloggers and you tubers say that this is the best smelling product from Soap and Glory and I agree 100%! The scent is just so refreshing and really wakes you up when you use it in the morning! I absolutely love citrus smells and so its not a surprise that I love this! The scent of this beauty comes from sweet limes, sparkling lemons and sweet vanilla musk! I don't really use a lot of body scrubs because I always thought they were a bit faffy, if that makes any sense. But if you have the time it is definitely worth the effort! Its fab to use on your knees and elbows, I tend to use it more on the elbows as they feel slightly rough. I have to say after one use they do feel a lot smoother, I think that's down to the almond, macadamia and glycerin oils as well as the sea salt and brown sugar. 

Can I just say I think Soap and Glory are so good at naming their products! They always have such fun and quirky names ... as you can see with the next thing I picked up. Orangeasm! This moisturising body wash is scented with green mandarin, lemon and sweet orange peels. It's not as strong as Sugar Crush but it's more of a soft lingering scent. I was amazed at how much the product lathers, when I pumped it out it was a very thick creamy consistency and I didn't expect it to lather as much! So if you love bubbles you will love this! It also leaves your skin feeling super soft, on the website it says that this comes from their exclusive MSUDS technology (no idea) Triple Tea Antioxidant Complex, Ginseng and Pinkpepperberry! It comes in a massive bottle so which I think is amazing, it will definitely last you a good while!


Hope you guys liked this little review! Let me know if you have any thoughts or opinions on these two beauties, leave your comments and blog posts below! I love hearing what you guys have to say! Have a lovely week and I'll see you next Sunday!
