i want to start a new.

i've finally found the incentive to start this properly. I've bought a new camera so can photograph alot more and am getting to the stage where I have enough money to buy various bits and pieces to review. Happy days! I've been following a range of blogs over the last 6 months and love how so many different styles, products and items are used! 


I have my own style, I love putting things together and absolutely love going shopping. What girl doesn't!


Today I have bought lots of different things and I cannot wait for them to be delivered tomorrow. I'll take pictures when I receive them :)!


I also bought the glossybox which everybody has been raving about. It should be here in mid August! Uber excited!! If your not sure what a Glossybox is, it's a subscription where you pay £10 a month and receive a box every month with 5 sample products in it to try. Last month they sent out; 
- All for Eve Red Lipstick
- Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Rapid Repair Spray
- Bionova Bioactive Cleanser for Normal/Dry skin
- Como Shambhala Invigorate Body Lotion
- NARS Orgasm Illuminater

Really excited to receive my box and cannot wait to do a review on it when it comes!


I've been really busy over the past few weeks. Went to see JLS in concert in Swindon on Saturday, my boyfriend bought me tickets for my 18th birthday. It poured down with rain but it was a fantastic evening! They were supported by Olly Murs & Alexis Jordan. 

I came back from New York last Tuesday. Had the most fantastic time! Bought lots of lovely bits and pieces. Saw some amazing sights, had a full on amazing time. It was my 18th birthday present from my Auntie & Grandad. Here are some pictures of what I bought :)

Abandoned

Looks like I have completely abandoned this, and to be fair I pretty much have but I've been really poorly so haven't really had a chance!! ( Nor have I been shopping, yes I'm still sticking to it!)

I'm taking my boyfriend to Paris on the 11th of March for this birthday. He's going to be 20 and we haven't been away together before so I thought this would be the perfect excuse to go away!

We are staying about 11 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, couldn't get any better! He doesn't know where we are going so I hope he'll love it!!

On the sad side of things his cat Sooty died the other day :( He was about 21 so lived a fantastic life but just sad to see a family member die like that. RIP Soots <3

I also have won tickets to the 'Biggest Loser' final. Not sure if people over in the US know what this is but it's a programme where lots of over obese people get put into a boot camp to lose weight. It's being recorded in London on Thursday so should be really good!!

Whilst I've been off work poorly, I made some brownies. They turned out an utter disaster! They look nice... 

Just too buttery :( Ah well sure the next attempt will' be fine!!

Thats all for now :) Stay beautiful <3 Nic x

; jump it, shake it across the club

Hello my lovelieees :D


Hope you've all had a good weekend. Mines been nice, chilled and quiet. Been with the boyfriend all week :)


I've decided I'm on a shopping ban till the end of Feb, let's see if I can do it? I think not!


I've just forked out £800 for my car to be fixed as had a crash a few weeks ago so thats killed me off a bit! On the 31st I  have to pay my holiday off which is over £400, going to Turkey in April with my friend and all her family, cannot wait! Going to be amazing.


So anyway back to my weekend :) Friday I went out for a few drinks and then picked my boyfriend up about 3 then on Saturday we had a chilled out day went and got breakfast, I went back to mine got showered and stuff then we went out for a meal was really nice :) Then stayed up till 6am this morning talking, I love it when we have nights like that, love spending time with him :) He's amazing. We have been together just over 7 months now, We met cuz he wrote me private mail over facebook (lol!) and after a month and a half of texting we met up and went to Birmingham shopping and have been inseparable ever since. He loves that I'm not controlling as I trust him more than anything but I'm not so uncontrolling that he needs to abuse it. 


Really keen on music at the moment, love blasting it out in my car and going for a little cruise! Lav ittttt. What kinds of music do you lot like?


Stay Beautiful, Nic ♥

So that's me, I'm just a normal girl really, but then again what's normal ;)!


Sorry this is a super long post, I have so much to just come buuuursting out!


I'm going to share with you a few of my favourite products to use :) 

My boyfriend bought this for me for Christmas and I absolutely love it, it came with a gorgeous smelling body lotion and a cute mini bottle perfect for your handbag.

I've used this a couple of times in the past before but when I've ran out never really thought about buying it for myself as it was always a gift before. I received a Ted Baker Set for Christmas from my Grandad and it's made me remember how much I loved it before! Its a gorgeous refreshing spray which isn't too overpowering and is great to refresh your skin throughout the day!

 This mist lotion is fantastic and smells delish! I love Soap & Glory products as you really get your monies worth and they last ages! Before I used this I was yet to find a decent moisturiser that didn't make my skin crack a few hours after I applied it. Seemed that the ones I used before just rubbed it in a bit and didn't actually do any good to my skin, but with this spray so far so good!

As time goes on you will learn that I am a hair product junkie! You name it I probably have it!! :) I've been looking for a decent leave in conditioner for a while. I dye my hair quite often as naturally I have mousey brown hair so it comes through very light at my roots and very noticeable, this meaning that my hair breaks very easily. I very rarely straighten my hair anymore which means that its in better condition then it would be should I every day. This 'Miracle Hair Insurance' really is fab so if your unable to find a leave-in conditioner that suits you then try this & it smells out of this world!

The best face wipes in this world, absolutely love them. Make my skin feel very refreshed and clean after I've used them, & they smell nice too!!

So that's all I can think of for now without going down a silly route with things like toothpaste etc ;) haha. As my blog comes along you will see that I buy lots of products so watch this space!

Stay beautiful, Nic ♥
