Pick-Me-Up Treats

I was desperately sick yesterday and I decided that I was in need of a little pick me up! So I went to Dublin early, on my way to Drogheda and went looking for a suitable treat to fill the void! 

First stop, Boots. Buy One Get One Half Off on Real Techniques brushes? Sound! I picked up a Powder Brush and a Blush Brush! Super-soft taklon bristles that are cruelty free, coupled with the colour-coded handles? Ohhhhhyes!! 

Next up, I hit a Catrice stand...hard! I picked up a Calligraph Ultra-Slim Eyeliner Pen for €3.99, a Prime And Fine Highlighter (Yes, I am a highlighter obsessive now, lets move on!) for €4.99 and two Lip Colour Creams at €2.15 each! 

I nipped into Tesco for some bits for Chris's dad and I found a Sally Hansen Lip Inflation and nabbed that too for €8.99. Score!

I also nipped into A-Wear for some nice bling, because, "Hey look there's a sale!!", and nabbed a gorgeous black, leather like necklace with five gold skulls on it down from €10.00 to €3.00. 

I also picked up a lovely ring with tribal accents and some sparely gem detailing! The best bit about this ring is that the actual ring portion is stretchy. I am very impressed with the weighty quality for the  price! €3.00 - down from €10!!

All in all I feel much better today both physically, and in regards to my morale too! All systems are go for Eminem tomorrow!! 

So tell me what you think of my purchases! Would you be inclined towards any of them? The RT brushes were a no-brainer, don't you think?

Accessories Haul... Feat. Yes To Carrot(top)s :P

Today I did all of my running around early, I paid my phone and Internet bill, I sent the application in for my driving test and I did some errands for my mother. When all was done my mum and I decided to go to Mullingar town and do a spot of shopping. "Fair enough," I decided, "Sure we haven't been to Mullingar in almost a year, why not?!"

We trundled down the road and in no time we had landed in Penneys!! We LOOOOVE Penneys... :D

So with a limit of €10, I set myself the challenge of getting some nice things to wear, since I'm always out to improve my appearance through fashion, accessories, makeup and beautification like manicures and facials...

Statement necklace: Was €5, I got it for €2!!

Preeeeeetty!!

Nails, Nails, Nails!

In my last post I detailed my recent foray into self improvement.

This post...? Well, this post is going to be me being super vain! :P

Naked Nails...Ah! Scary!!

So, the story begins!

Self Improvement And A New Series...

"Self-improvement is masturbation," Tyler Durden, Fight Club. Thankfully, this opinion doesn't really resonate with me, because I believe that self improvement makes people better versions of themselves.

Since I'm 21 now, which means I'm older, and therefore apparently wiser, I've decided I need to dress a bit better, and put a bit more effort into myself. Not just for me, but I have a boyfriend of 2 years who I think deserves to not have his girlfriend live in baggy tracksuit bottoms and oversize jumpers (even if they are warm and fuzzy...and stolen from his wardrobe half the time!!) because, lets face it, when you do that, it gets boring. And I don't want to bore my lovely man!

So, I've made three decisions and I'm going to stick to them.

A Haul??

Yesterday I posted about finding great bargains in charity shops. Well little did I know I would find some amazing things when I was out today! every so often I do this thing where I go to Penneys (Primark for the Brits) and see what I can find for under 10 euro. Today I was feeling adventurous so I decided to just buy a few bits on sale and not worry about the price.

So without further ado....

Change Is Good

Lately I've found myself very much in a rut. I have two wardrobes full to bursting with clothes, but I seem to go back to the same few hoodies, the same few jeans, shoes and tops all the time.

I need a change.

So no more "trendy shopping" for me for a while, its time to invest in some staples, some tights and some accessories.

I used to have this plaid shirt that I absolutely ADORED but when I started to gain weight I threw it out because it was too tight for me. Now I'm regretting it. Big time.
