  • Summer Souvenirs Giveaway!

    Giveaway Header 1
    As my little NYC series has drawn to a close here on the blog and I’ve also hit a couple of really cool milestones (over 300+ followers on Twitter, 100 followers on BlogLovin and 150 followers on Instagram! Crazy!), I thought it would be nice to give a little bit back to all you lovely people :)
    So I have a mini souvenir giveaway for you with some goodies from my trip to NYC. 
    NYC magnets Wet n Wild eyeshadow Paperchase notebook
    • Cool souvenir magnets I found in both Strand Bookshops in Soho and the New York Public Library
    • A compact Wet n’ Wild eyeshadow [‘Walking on eggshells’] which is a small version of the one I featured in my US beauty haul
    • Not from NYC, but a little pocket travel notebook from Paperchase, for when you go on your own adventures! 
    I’ll be running the giveaway until the 30th July and you can enter the giveaway through the Rafflecopter entry form below!
    On a sentimental note, I’d just want to say thanks to all of you guys for sticking with me during my crazy final year at University. As much as I loved school I’m super excited to get right back into blogging again, with some exciting plans in the works for the next few months!

    Soundtrack: Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses 

    Almost there! Still feeling very festive, especially after visiting Winchester Christmas market yesterday. If you’ve never been down, it definitely worth a visit if you’re ever in the area. There’s always lovely crafted goods and treats all in little wooden stalls plus sweet treats and mulled wine. I also had the first of my Christmas do’s this week at La Margarita’s, which was pretty fancy to be honest. Other than that it’s been good to get my Christmas shopping mostly done and start wrapping up everything work-wise before Christmas. 
    I’ve got a busy week ahead before I can relax though. I’m back at Uni tomorrow for a placement catch up before a last week of pre-Christmas/end of year bits and catch ups with old friends who are home for the holidays. Woop!

    In blogging news don’t forget to enter my giveaway! It ends on Friday and I’d love to see more of you entering :) Also don’t forget to check out the latest collab post written by myself, Lucy and Kath on Blogger’s Bookshelf about our NaNoWriMo experiences, not to mention all of our reviews on there! It’s still not too late to get involved as a guest blogger on there and we’d love to see some great reviews in the New Year. Just email Blogger’s Bookshelf if you’re interested! 
    Keep on wishing…
