University // My Thoughts On Going into Third Year

Hey Guys!

Fresher's Week is over and I've had my first official week back at university. Now that everything has settled back down I've been reflecting on the last two years I've had here at Newcastle University and what I'm to expect in my third and final year ❤

Moving back up to Newcastle after a long three-month summer wasn't as stressful this time around (probably because we are staying in the same student house as last year, so all of my belongings were in the room I had in second year). Not having as many possessions to take and knowing I was going to the same house I've already lived in for a year was reassuring as I didn't have to settle in to somewhere new like we all had to do in the first and second year. One thing that has changed this year is that I feel old! I know that sounds ridiculous as I'm only 20 years old, but seeing first years arriving and embarking on a new adventure makes me look back at when I first moved to Newcastle and started university, it makes me feel so old! Also, don't even mention the hangovers now that I'm a year older. You'd think after all this time I'd be able to hack all the nights out and I'd be making the most of Fresher's Week but the hangovers last about two days and I can't deal with it. I just want to sit on the sofa every night and watch The Cry and Goggle Box with a cup of tea haha! 

My Dissertation

This year I am to write a 10,000-word dissertation, along with completing four modules. For my dissertation, I've decided to research and conduct a study on the sexualisation of women in contemporary music videos comparing western music videos to South Korean music videos, exploring why women are sexualised and whether it was their choice. I'm excited to research this area and write up everything but doing a dissertation is so daunting! Especially as it has such a high weighting on my final grade. Third year is going to be stressful! I might as well move into the library now! If any of you have written a dissertation I'd love some advice on how to stay productive and get the most out of my third year!

After Graduation

There are so many things I'm considering to do when I finish and graduate but it's deciding what is the right move to make.  I might stay and do my masters up here in Newcastle, but I'm also contemplating getting into the field and getting some experience, or to go abroad and teach English for a year, or even try something different. There are so many different options after I graduate, but at the moment I'm taking one day at a time. 

I'm sad to be in my last year of university! I'm not ready to leave yet. Going to university has been the best decision I've ever made and I'm sad to leave, my time here has gone by so quick! I've made so many great memories and moving away has helped me become a lot more independent and appreciative. I don't want the experience to be over just yet, so I'll definitely be making the most of it this year ❤

You'll be seeing a lot more university-related content on here this year so look out for that! 

What year are you in now? Or have you already graduated? Let me know in the comments below ❤

See you soon!

My 'Simple' Skincare

Hey Guys! 

On Wednesday I did a post reviewing the Simple Water Boost Micellar Water and Hydrating Boost, so this week I wanted to show you guys how I incorporate these two products into my skincare routine along with the two other Simple cleansing products I use ♡ 

For the products I use on my face I don't use all Simple as I'm still making my way through a big tub of Nivea Face Cream and Primark Oil Balancing wipes, so I'll only be mentioning Simple products that I use on in my skincare routine.

Simple Water Boost Micellar Cleansing Water

I only use micellar water when I've been wearing make up and I'm wanting to remove it all before I cleanse by face. Previously I've always used Garnier Micellar Water but as I described in my previous post I wanted to try out Simple's Micellar Water so that I can see which one is better for my skin. I take an oval shaped cotton pad, apply the micellar water and then go around my face dissolving all the make up. I tend to repeat this step as most of the time I'll need to take a separate cotton pad to remove my eye make up as it is a little tougher to remove! 

Simple Kind To Skin Moisturising Facial Wash

I like to mix up by face wash depending how my skin is feeling on the day so I rotate between Simple Foaming Face Cleanser (which I left at my house up in Newcastle), Nivea Daily Essentials Exfoliating Face Scrub and the Simple Moisturising Face Scrub, but most of the time I use this face wash as it is really gentle on my skin. It is great in the morning for brightening my complexion after just waking up and also great for dissolving left over make up that the micellar water hasn't fully broken down. I like that it lathers up really quickly and is gentle enough for me to put around my eye area ♡ 

Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner

I don't use the Simple toner all the time as occasionally my skin is really dry and the toner can make it worse by making my skin feel really tight and uncomfortable, so I only use it every now and then. But it has become a great product for ensuring after cleansing my face all traces of make up have gone and I'm prepped for my moisturiser!

Simple Water Boost Hydrating Booster

My skin is a combination with a mix of dry skin and an oily t-zone but recently due to cold weather my skin has been horrendously dry! However since picking up the Hydrating Booster my skin has been so much better! With the Hydrating Booster you can use it three different ways, so for me I use it as a primer after I've cleansed by face and I'm prepping my skin for make up or moisturiser, so I put a bean sized dollop on my hand and apply that all over my skin rubbing it in. But sometimes if my skin needs some extra hydration I also use another method Simple suggest and add a pea sized amount to my moisturiser, mix it in and then apply it like I usually would and that leaves my skin feeling hydrated and glowing ♡

What is your favourite Simple product? Let me know in the comments below!

I've linked all the products I've mentioned so you can check them out too :)

See you on Wednesday my lovelies! ♡

Simple Water Boost Micellar Cleansing Water & Hydrating Booster Review

Hey Guys!

After running out and in desperate need of a make up remover I popped down to my local Boots and normally I would have just grabbed my usual choice of micellar water the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for sensitive skin, but I saw that Simple was on offer so I decided to give their new Water Boost skincare range a try!

I've used a few different micellar cleansing water products now, some having oil bases and some just been specifically for delicate and sensitive skin so I'm always open to try different brand's line of cleansing products. For ages people have raved about Simple's Water Boost cleansing line and at lot of YouTuber's I watch, like Sophia Chang and Jenn Im have been partnering up with Simple to showcase and review their new range. So from watching them and reading many other reviews and impressions on the micellar water and hydrating boost I thought I would give it a try for myself! 

Simple Water Boost Micellar Cleansing Water 

One thing I notice every time I use the product to take off my eye make up is it doesn't make my eyes sting. I've had some occasions when using Garnier Micellar Water when I've put too much product on the cotton pad and when I go to wipe my mascara and eyeliner it leaks into my eye and stings like crazy! Where as, so far I've not experienced any stinging or burning to my eyes which is great! Other than not stinging my eye it is also great at breaking down my tough eye makeup like my mascara. Normally it takes a while to get my mascara and eyeliner to budge but with the Water Boost Micellar Water it lifts really quick so I don't have to keep rubbing my eyes and making them inflamed and irritated :) 

When I've finished removing all my make up my skin is left feeling soft! Sometimes after wearing make up my skin can be quite dry but every time I've used this micellar water my skin is left feeling hydrated and not stripped. Other than the hydrating aspects of the product the smell is also something I always think about because if it doesn't have any perfume or fragrant smell it tends to be better for my skin, and this micellar water has no smell to it, it is very neutral which proves they are true to their claim of not having any artificial perfume or colour in their products!

So far I'm really liking this product and it has helped keep my skin, especially when I've been wearing make up all day, bright and hydrated :) I just wish they did a smaller version for travelling as the bottle is quite heavy and big, so if they did a small bottle like Garnier I would be even more sold on the product! 

Simple Water Boost Hydrating Booster

I've never seen a brand do a product similar to a primer, but specially for hydration. It is definitely something new so I was excited to give it a try and see if it would do anything for my skin. They give three suggestions of how to use it: 

1. As a hydrating primer layer 
2. Add to your moisturiser for a booster 
3. Apply directly to the really dry areas before applying moisturiser. 

I've been using it as a hydrating primer layer then occasionally as a booster and adding it to my Nivea moisturiser. I didn't notice a big difference straight away but that can be quite normal for most skincare products because it takes time for them to make a difference. After a few more days of using it in my skincare routine both in the morning and evening I started to notice a difference to the dry patches on my face, such as around my temples, on my cheeks and around my eyebrows. You only need a little bit for it to go a long way, I've been using around a bean sized dollop and and with just a small amount it covers my entire face and dries quickly. One thing I like is that it doesn't have a sticky consistency, so it doesn't go tacky or anything it absorbs into the skin very fast! I dislike products that go really sticky and tacky as it just makes products that I'm putting on top look odd and then it sits weirdly. 

It is a very lightweight product that doesn't feel heavy on the skin and it does make my skin look much brighter and when put into my moisturiser my skin has a fresher look, kind of a dewy glow. Similar to the micellar water it doesn't have any fragrance or perfume scent and it has a pure clear appearance so they haven't added any unnecessary colours either! From looking at the packaging I like that they explain why the minerals benefit your skin for hydration and how the plant extracts are used to maintain hydration and is a natural ingredients that is great for the skin! 

I would recommend if anyone has dry skin, especially since it has been very cold in the UK at the moment, to try out Simple's new Water Boost range, as I have noticed a different with using the hydrating boost! For the price I paid I was very happy (but it was on offer the time I brought it so it was inexpensive).

See you on Sunday my lovelies! ❤

First Week Back At Uni: Second Year and New House

Hey Guys!

So I've officially had my first academic week back at university and wanted to reflect and talk about how second year seems to be so far. I did have an induction the week before but that was just an introduction lecture discussing our third year options and to ensure our module credits were all correct. Unlucky for me I made a mistake with my module credits and had to change a few things but I'm just glad it wasn't really complicated to fix. 

My First Week Back

So this week I only had three lectures and one seminar, a pretty broken down week having two lectures on a Monday, one lecture and seminar on Tuesday and then I had Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off! It won't be like that every week though, I just had two seminars cancelled as we didn't need to discuss anything. I'm a media, communication and cultural studies student so our contact and in uni hours aren't much compared to other courses like Chemistry and Engineering but we do have to do a lot of independent studying and rely on ourselves a lot. 

In respect to my first official week it was pretty good! I feel like when your a fresher the first week doesn't seem too overwhelming or pressured as you slowly move into all the work and then you realise later on how much work you have to do, where as now I'm in second year I already know how much work to expect and what my lectures expect from me, so for our first week we cut all the introductions and instead got straight into our topics. Our lecturer was already talking about our research proposal for our dissertation which was pretty stressful to think about as I've barely thought about what I'm going to base my dissertation paper on. But it was exciting to think about what potential ideas we can propose and in what areas. As we are media students there are endless topics of discussion we can do for our paper, it can be anything from how violence in the media affects children, to public mourning and grime music. 

The modules I've taken for semester one are Advertising and Consumption, Research Methods and Representations: Identity, Culture & Society. It is quite a variety and I haven't taken too many credits to overwhelm me in the first stages of second year, I feel its easier for me to take more credits in semester 2 as I will have got back into the habit to be productive and focus! 

New House

My new house is great! It is so much better than what we were all expecting. When we viewed the house back in January we had to be really quick and brief as another group of students were coming to view the property too, so we were thankful it looked as good as we remembered! 

I live with five other people who I met from my flat and university accommodation in first year and through my university course. At first we had a few problems with the house appliances like the boiler and broken doors but now that we have been in the house for three weeks we are all settled and comfy! I definitely prefer living in a house with my closest friends than being in university accommodation. It is so nice just having our own place, it feels more cosy and our rooms are a lot more personal. University accommodation is great for first year as that is where you meet everyone and make your friends but after that stage having a house is so much better! At some point I'll do a room tour to show you all what my new room looks like compared to what my old room in my uni halls looked like ♡ 

Considering we live in a six bedroom house the space is great! Most rooms are pretty big and we only really have one tiny bedroom and that is an extension on the back of the house! The location of our house is gold! We are right opposite the metro which is so convenient when getting to uni and the rent we pay is amazing!

All in all we made a great choice when deciding on this house! 

If any of you are second year students how was your first week?

See you on Wednesday my lovelies!

My Night Time Summer Skincare Routine | 2017

Hey Guys!

Over the past couple of months I have switched up my night time skin care routine
 a bit as I began to notice my skin gradually getting dry around my eyebrows and cheeks. I had also collected a few more products to give a try so I worked them into my skin care routine to see if they would work with the condition of my skin. 

Lets get started!

#1 Micellar Water

I've used Garnier's micellar water products before so I knew they would work out for me when removing my make up, especially stubborn products like mascara and eyeliner. I love that it is so pure and basic but is perfect at removing all the impurities, oil and make up I've worn all day. It is definetley a go to product! I even buy the cute little travel version when I go on holiday as its just so convenient! 

Sometimes if I just need to focus a little more on the removal of my eye make up because my eye shadow or eyeliner is a little stubborn I use the Nivea Daily Essentials Extra Gentle Make Up Remover. But the only thing I don't particularly like with this make up remover is that sometimes it stings and makes my eyes really sore, which doesn't seem right if it is suppose to be a product focusing on your eye area and states that it is 'extra gentle'. It isn't every time but it has happened to catch me out and basically blind me for a few seconds! But it works when I need it to so I'll continue to use it haha!

#2 Cleaner/ Scrub

In the evening I use my Simple Foam Cleanser as its great at removing the rest of my make up that was missed in the previous step. It is really gentle and soft, which is perfect as I tend not to use a really harsh scrub before applying a detox face mask and its been doing great wonders for my skin. Since using this product my skin has started to get much softer and brighter. When I wake up in the morning my skin isn't as patchy and I don't have any red inflammation which I used to experience when using other face scrubs and cleansers. At the moment I'm trying to be more delicate with my skin and treat it better so a gentle cleanser is always a good product to turn to ♡ 

#3 Face Mask

I've mentioned this face mask a few times now on my blog and it is still an amazing product! I don't use it every time I cleanse my face, only three times a week as using it every time would stress my skin out a bit too much and I don't want to use it excessively. As you might be able to tell I've finished all of it and will need to look for another face mask to use next, but I highly recommend the Pure Clay Purity Mask for it has helped clear my acne prone areas like my cheeks and jaw line. It does run out quite quickly though considering you are suppose to use it three times a week! 

#4 Serum/ Treatment Oil

I've been using this Serum for the longest time and I've always loved the results so I've never bothered trying anything new or a different brand. I probably will in the future when I'm in the experimenting mood but at the moment I'm happy with what it does for me! I like using a serum as it retains more moisture which is great for my dry skin. And it has anti-wrinkle remedies in it, and I know I'm only 19 but prevention is key and I have terrible terrible frown lines on my forehead so anything that will help reduce those I try haha!

#5 Night Cream

I've used this night cream for a while now and it is quite a thick night cream which some people aren't a fan of as it takes a lot longer to soak in and be absorbed by the skin, but for the evening I tend to put on a thicker cream so that my skin can absorb a greater amount of moisture while I sleep. They do say that between 10pm and 2am your skin is at its best healing point and so that is the time you should be applying products to be absorbed and getting a good night sleep. I'm not sure how true it is but I don't mind going to sleep a bit earlier now that I actually have things to do this summer :) 

#6 Eye Cream

This is one of the new products I had picked up and wanted to try! I have been using a few Lacura products for a while now, especially their serum. So, considering  this is a product from the same range I thought I'd see if it worked for me. So, after incorporating it into my skincare routine for around two weeks now I've began to really like it. It is a gel so it has a very sticky texture but after application give it about two minutes and it is fully absorbed and doesn't leave a sticky residue around the eye. You only need a really small amount as well so this small tub should last me a while! 

When it is officially Autumn I'll probably end up switching my skincare routine up again as my skin will probably get a lot of dry patches so I'll have to tailor what products I use to deal with that problem! Is anybody else looking forward to Autumn already?

What is your go to product when you get really dry patches on your skin? Let me know in the comments below!

See you tomorrow lovelies! ♡

Lanzarote Photo Diary | July 2017

Hey Guys!

I've been away in Lanzarote for two weeks so now that I'm back I wanted to share with you what we got up to while we were there and some photos from the trip. When we first got to our accommodation we found out that the booking system had mixed up our reservation so they didn't have an apartment ready for us until Monday, so instead they booked us into another accommodation complex down the road for the Saturday and Sunday until we could go back to our original accommodation choice. So for both Saturday and Sunday we ended up at Palmeras Garden. It was a great place and their apartments were lovely! The only problem we had was it was a bit far out from all the restaurants and shops, but thankfully we had a car. If we hadn't we would have really struggled!

But that little hiccup didn't ruin our holiday and we still made the most of it, no point worrying about it when we could still have fun as a family and enjoy our vacation ♡ 

Apartment #1

The views in the morning were beautiful! ❤ 

We really enjoyed staying at this apartment complex and the pool was so quiet and peaceful but by the Monday we had to pack up our things and move on to the accommodation we were suppose to be staying at originally.

Apartment #2

Our second apartment at Playa Limones was lovely and I loved our patio as we were able to sunbathe with our own sunbeds and had a nice patio set to eat at! The only problem we suffered with our apartment was that our neighbours were very noisy and not very respectful to the people around them. But other than that it was great! We did experience some noise from the hotel resort behind with their Karaoke night haha! But it was all fun :) 

While we were on holiday we saw so many cats around the apartments but there were two specific cats who liked us and came to visit or followed us back, so we named them Hudson (cat with the brown coat) and Alfred (black and white cat). We weren't suppose to feed them as the staff at the complex already fed them in the reception but we did anyway as we had some left over tuna to share ❤ 

We ate out quite a bit while on holiday and my favourite was the tapas we tried! We ordered canarian potatoes with mojo sauce, meatballs in sauce, chicken croquettes, fried baby squid and bread :) My favourite was the fried baby squid and chicken croquettes as I love seafood and chicken! The tapas was quite expensive considering how much we ordered but I guess it was more for the service as it was very fancy and out there ahah! 

Some of the views of Playa Blanca were incredible! There are obviously a lot of beaches but the mountains were amazing ❤ There were loads of lockets everywhere, like they have done in Paris where you get a locket and write you and your significant others initials and attach it to the chains around the island. 

There was also some great scenery and gardens. This garden was the prettiest I have seen - it looked so colourful and bright :) And only feet away from the harbour and boats. They could legit walk out straight on to a boat! 

In our first week we visited Timanfaya where all the camel rides start, they then tour the volcanoes and show tourists all the scenery and history of the volcanoes. We got to visit the museum that explains all about the use of the volcanic soil in Lanzarote's agriculture industry, it wasn't my cup of tea but I'm glad it was there so that they can share their history with tourists. Seeing the camels was the best bit! There was so many of them and it is clearly very popular! But I don't think going up the volcano on a very windy day was for me haha :)

We had such a great time on holiday and got to try so many different seafood dishes, which is my favourite! And the weather was incredible, I was sad to come back to England where it rains 24/7 haha! But its home ♡ 

Where are you visiting this summer? Let me know in the comments below!

See you on Sunday my lovelies!♡

My Summer Goals | July - September 2017

Hey Guys!

Now that I've finished my first year at university I have a very long summer, three months in fact so I wanted to create some goals to achieve over summer so that I could be kept busy being motivated working towards something. I love setting small goals to achieve so that I can be passionate and productively working towards something. From the list you'll be able to see a lot of them are based around a healthier lifestyle and eating healthier and that is due to the fact I want to start looking after my body a lot more, I'm very slim but that doesn't mean I'm healthy on the inside. Therefore, I want to take steps to improve my lifestyle.  

#1 Complete My Reading List 

For the summer I've created a list of books I want to have finished by the time I go back to university. Recently I've got back into reading and exploring different genres. At the moment I'm reading 'Henry the VIII's Wives' and its a great read if your after the facts but also a story. A blog post discussing the list of books I'm determined to finish by the end of this summer will be uploaded next week, so look out for it if your interested in finding out what types of books I'm interested in reading ❤ 

#2 Start Taking Multivitamins

Like I said at the beginning of the post I'm aiming to improve my lifestyle and diet and one step is to start taking multivitamins with iron. I used to take vitamins when I was younger but then once I started secondary school I stopped, so I thought it was about time I started taking them again. I chose multivitamins because I'll be getting a great mixture of all the important vitamins like B12, Vitamin C and Vitamin D while also having an intake of Iron. I get tired very easily these days so I thought by getting multivitamins with iron as well might help with giving me a natural boost of energy. 

#3 Work Out 4 Times a Week

I'm very hit and miss when it comes to exercise, I'll be really motivated for about a week and then I'll give up and get back to being lazy but this summer I'm determined to stick to it. As part of my new healthy lifestyle goal I'm determined to become more active and to the point where I start seeing results. I've been following Blogilates's videos and tips, and geez she works you hard! 

#4 Start Drinking Green Tea Every Morning Instead of a Cup of Tea

I do love a nice cup of tea when I wake up in the morning to give me a boost but I put three teaspoons of sugar in my cup of tea (bad I know haha!) so instead I'm swapping it for more cups of green tea. Green tea isn't the most flavourful drink to have but I'm so used to having it that the taste doesn't bother me anymore. Therefore, this summer I'm determined to drink more and have a full on detox!

#5 Drink At Least Two Bottles of Water a Day

I've never thought much of drinking lots of water and its benefits to my skin and lifestyle but recently I've realised how clearer by skin has become after starting to drink more water throughout the day. So, I'm determined this summer to drink lots more water to help clear my skin a lot more and stay hydrated. There is no harm in drinking more water and by adding cucumber it is a very refreshing drink for the hot months (hopefully coming to the UK).  By aiming for two bottles I hope that I'll be drinking more than that, but two bottles is good for the start of a new routine. 

#6 Start Juicing 

I got into the habit of buying Naked juices because they are full of different vitamins and fruits and they are a great drink to have for health benefits but then I started realising how expensive it is to buy fruit juices and you aren't 100% what is actually in the bottle such as sugars and additives, so instead I'm going to start making my own juice so I know exactly what is in the drink and it will work out much cheaper in the long run compared to constantly buying a bottle from Sainsburys or Tesco :)

#7 Complete My Watch List

Like my reading list I also have a list of all the shows and movies I want to watch while I'm home. Now I have a lot more time on my hands I can binge watch all the different Netflix series I've been meaning to watch for months! There are also tons of films I want to watch that were in cinema but I never got a chance to see, so throughout the summer I'm gonna complete a few box-sets and recent films. These include Orange is The New Black, Versailles, Peaky Blinders, The Tudors, The Shadow Hunters and The Girl on The Train, Moana and the new Beauty and Beast. 

#8 Keep On Top of Skincare Routine

I've got myself into a great night time skin care routine that has been really helping my skin, especially with clearing up my acne scars and retaining the moisture in my skin while I sleep.  So I want to keep on top of it so that I start seeing more positive results. It is so important to look after your skin and finally I've found a routine that works for me, so hopefully over summer my skin will make some improvements and become healthier. 

#9 Stretch Every Night

Sometimes I really struggle to sleep if I've had a really productive day and my mind is still whizzing round so I want to get into the habit of stretching and getting into a relaxed state before trying to sleep as I believe it will really help slow down my brains functions so that it will be easier to sleep. This should also help me get into a better sleeping routine as I'm trying to get up earlier in the morning, therefore I need to sleep earlier. 

#10 Start Eating Healthier

I've never been really unhealthy where I eat junk food everyday but I could definitely be eating healthier and better meals, and I've already started since I've been home but I want to continue eating better quality food and meals all through summer. Obviously it doesn't mean I can't have treats like ice cream, cake and snacks but I just want to be having a more balanced diet and eating food that is better for my lifestyle and skin. I've been keeping a meal diary so I record recipes and food that I really enjoy and can keep making ❤ 

What do you want to achieve this summer? Let me know in the comments below! 

See you on Sunday my lovelies! ❤
