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!

THE LUSH HAUL - VALENTINE EDITION

Happy Sunday Everyone! The month of love is round the corner and all the shops have started stocking the shelves with Valentine Cards, Teddies and Roses. However I am more interested in the brand new Lush collection for Valentines day! This is the first time I've ever really bought anything from this collection, I normally just pop in every now and again for a bath bomb or a fresh face mask. But I just couldn't stop myself, the display was just too pretty! I had to! You guys seemed to love my last Lush haul so I got out my camera and thought I would do a little post for you! Enjoy!

The first thing I picked up was a Heart Throb Bubbleroon! Now I had to ask the assistant what a bubbleroon was because I had no idea! She explained that you can break the heart in two and use it twice which I think is amazing! The Heart Throb smells amazing and is packed with organic shea butter and essential oils. The bubbleroon is just like the bubble bars, you simply crumble it under some running water and it fills your bath with soft bubbles! Not to mention it turns the bath water into a bright passionate red!

I've heard so many good things about the Lip Scrubs from Lush and I've always wanted to try one, so when I saw that Lush had released a limited edition scrub for Valentines day I had to pick it up. I tried the scrub out yesterday because my lips were getting super dry and flaky because of the weather and oh my does it smell heavenly! Its not a miraculous product but I think it definitely helps remove the dead skin. The Kiss is packed with Caster Sugar, Sea Salt, Edible Red Hearts and Hundreds and Thousands! A word of warning it takes every fibre in your being to not eat this! Haha!

You can't really see in the picture but this bath bomb is mahoosive! The lovely assistant described the Love Locket as a Kinder Egg and this is because you can break the bomb in half to find a second bath bomb! The Love Locket transforms your bath water into a warm soft baby pink. It has quite a sweet and floral scent which comes from the Vanilla and Jasmine. The smaller heart shaped bath bomb which you can use separate or with the other half is filled with small pink and purple agar hearts!

The next thing I picked up was the Prince Charming Shower Gel, I'm still working my way through the Snow Fairy Shower Gel which I picked up on my last Lush Haul but I thought I would pick this up for when it runs out, or even just to switch things up a little! This little beauty smells like a smoothie and summer, thats the best way to describe it! I think this will be my go to in summer, the scent is made with grapefruit, sandalwood and geranium oils! If you've read my blog for a while you'll know I am obsessed with grapefruit! Prince Charming also has hints of marshmallow, pomegranate and vanilla!

The last thing I picked up was another bubble bar, Lonely Heart. I was a tiny bit reluctant to get this beacuse it is covered with glitter! And the last thing you want is to cleaning little parts of glitter off the bath when you're trying to have a relaxing evening. But I've been told that the glitter melts and dissolves in the bath so hopefully it'll all be good! The bubble bar turns the water into a bright red just like the bubbleroon I bought. It has a very floral scent and is packed with lemongrass, bergamot, jasmine and ylang ylang!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Let me know if there's anything else that you've picked up in lush that you've been loving or if you've done a blog post on any lush bits leave a link in the comments below! I'd love to have a read!

THE NEW GLASSES

Happy Sunday Everyone! Tragedy struck on Thursday, Yep! I broke my glasses ... now don't panic, I spent most of the day in contacts and I did manage to fix them ... kind of. I bought some good old super glue and forced them back together. I've had my glasses for a few years now and I absolutely love them, they're from the Gok Wan range at Specsavers. It took a lot for me to get these because at the time I was wearing some pretty mundane glasses and compared to my old ones these are completely out there! But the inner diva in me needed this pair. There was a slight worry because the frame is quite round and I was nervous that it was going to emphasise the roundness of my face shape. However the moment I put them on ... they just felt right you know?



When my glasses broke I began to panic because I don't have a back up pair, in fact I haven't even thought about picking up a pair as a back up until now! With that in mind I was straight onto the Specsavers website to see what they had to offer ... and I was not dissapointed! The price range of the frames are fantastic they have budget frames from as low as £25 but they also offer the higher end brand if you wanted to splash a little more! I've had a look through all the black frames they offer for men and I was really surprised at the variety they have online! I know I want quite a prominent frame and so the larger frames definitely stuck out for me! Here's what I found!

DINO - I consider these frames to be an absolute bargain, I am yet to see any of these frames in the flesh so I may completely change my mind but from the photos they all look pretty good! You can get a pair of Dinos for just £45! They are a black rectangular frame and I absolutely love them!

FLEXI 80 - These frames come at a higher price of £99 but oh my how beautiful are they! I'm used to having a thicker frame so I'm not sure how these would look on me but I absolutely love the style. The front of the frames have a shiny black finish with a keyhole bridge. The sides are made from a flexible metal which is supposed to boost the comfort factor!

BO 0088 - These are the first higher/designer brand frames I came across on the site from Boss Orange, they are £125 so definitely something to look at if you are willing to spend a little extra. The frame on this is super thick which really draws me in! I think these would be amazing to wear and can't wait to see what they look like on! The frame has a wood like grained texture which isn't something I've seen much of!

KL 05 - The first of two frames that I spotted from the Karl Lagerfeld section on the website, these super quirky frames are £125. I've looked at a few tortoise shell frames and these are one of my favourites! Although they are super out there! I absolutely love the angular shape of the frame ... not too sure on how I feel on the silver sides though. I think they would look amazing if they were tortoise shell all over!

EOT BEHOLDER - These chunky frames are from a brand called Cheap Monday which I haven't really heard of before but I love the range they have! At £99 you can get this frame in black or tortoise shell. Again I would need to try them on to see how they look but I would get either of them! They even have a little skull emblem on the sides!

KL 01 -  Last but not least are these second frames I saw in the Karl Lagerfeld section! Once again these designer frames come in at £125, they come in a black or a brown/grey gradient frame. I much prefer the black from the two, mainly because black goes with everything so they would be really easy to work with. The frames come with clear accents to add that little flare which I think is super cool!




I'm at a bit of a loss and really need your help! I have no idea yet as to which frames I prefer from the bunch I saw online and so would I would really love to hear what you guys think! Let me know which ones are your favourite! Or even if there are any brands I should be looking at! Leave your comments below!

THE WISHLIST - THE BODY SHOP

Happy Sunday Everyone! Hope we're all doing well, I'm having the post Christmas blues ... sad face ... basically I really have the urge to go shopping. And the first on my list once I get paid is The Body Shop. I absolutely love going to there but I never buy much? I normally go in for a browse and then leave. I think it's because I don't take the time to familiarise myself with their products. But I've been hearing a lot of good things about some of their things and so I though I would do a little wish list post for you guys!

WILD ARGAN OIL BODY BUTTER - I'm a little late to jump on the Argan Oil bandwagon but oh my does this stuff smell heavenly! One of my best friends Suki has a blog called Suki Scouts, she's done a post on most of the range which is here if you want to have a little read! But basically she's obsessed with the stuff and I can see .. well smell why! I love body butters anyway and I've previously bought the Grapefruit and Strawberry one before and once again I can't explain how amazing they smell! But they also leave your skin feeling super soft! I can't wait to get this little beauty in my life!

VITAMIN E LIP CARE SPF15 - Lip care is a bit of a new one for me from The Body Shop, I've never really considered making a trip for some lip balm but I have heard really good things about the Vitamin E range and the reviews on the Lip Care suggest amazing things! I'm currently using the Burts Bee's Grapefruit Lip Balm and if I'm honest I don't know if I'm gonna be blown away by this but I'm going to give it a try!

POMEGRANATE FIRMING AND REFRESHING EYE ROLL ON - If you guys have read my Bulldog Skincare Review you will know that I am absolutely in love with their Eye Roll-On! I don't have like massive bags under my eyes but it would be nice if they were brighter! I've heard the pomegranate have a lot of good properties when it comes to skincare so I'm super intrigued to see how I get a long with this plus I love the scent of pomegranate! My bulldog one is coming to the end of its life so I know it won't be long before this appears in my draw!

HONEYMANIA HAND CREAM - I feel like most of my reasons for things on here is how good they smell but seriously this stuff really does smell amazing! One of my lovely friends got a tube of this for Christmas and I tried it out and oh my! It's a little wet to begin with but that really encourages you to massage it into your hands, after it has sank in it leaves your hands feeling moisturised and soft. Just what you want from a hand cream! I've noticed that it lasts a good few hours as well. I like to use my soap and glory hand food a lot at work but it tends to wear off after a while. 

SEAWEED IONIC CLAY MASK - I am a lover of face masks, especially when I'm having a relaxing night in! I've tried quite a few different face masks and I'm never really amazed by them ... unless its one from lush! But the reviews on this baby definitely make me feel like I'm missing out! Clay masks much like mud masks are really good at drawing out impurities in the skin and leave you feeling quite refreshed, mainly because they're quite cooling. I haven't had my skin professionally looked at but it's neither dry or super oily and this mask is apparently aimed at combination skin so I'm looking forward to see how I get on with this.

WILD ARGAN OIL RADIANT OIL - Over the years my hair has been through quite a lot and I'm currently working to bringing it back to its healthy self! If you've read my last Body Shop Haul you would have seen that I picked up the coconut oil to try and help my hair. If I'm completely honest it hasn't worked miracles ... don't get me wrong it's an amazing product and it made my hair soft and shiny just not what I hoped it would do. I might be way off and be in search of a product that doesn't exist. I want my hair to look and feel healthy and a lot of people have recommended Argan Oil to help do this! I've read up on the stuff and it all looks quite positive, both for my hair and also my skin!

Hope you guys have enjoyed this little post! Let me know if you would like any reviews on any of the items in this post and I will be more than happy to put one up for you! Also I would love to know if you guys have tried anything from my wish list, let me know how you guys got along Hope you guys have a lovely week and I'll be back next Sunday for another post!
