BEAUTY | BeautyCrowd.Com Haul Video

Leave a Comment

Hey guys! Today I'm sharing with you a haul video from a recent online shop at BeautyCrowd. As I'll explain in the video, this site has fast become one of my favourites for ordering new, different make up from brands I wouldn't normally try.

I've tried quite a few products from Bell Cosmetics and in this video I run through some of my favourites, as well as what I recently ordered.

My Life | Plum Paper Planner Review

6 comments

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to be organised. I write things down everywhere. I have lists for absolutely everything and I will make records of things wherever I can. All of this meaning my planner is essential. It comes with me everywhere I go.

For 2016, I really wanted to upgrade and treat myself by splashing out on a planner! For the last few years I've used cheaper ones and whilst they've done the job, I wanted more! The Plum Paper Planners had caught my eye as far back as April and I couldn't wait to get my hands on one.

PS: READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END FOR A COUPON CODE!



Toted as a cheaper alternative to the Erin Condren planner (which is relatively difficult to get hold of in the UK), the Plum Paper Planner's caught my eye because of their cute covers, personalisable options, add ons and their rave reviews! The fact they are readily available on Etsy also really helped me out because it meant I knew I could get it shipped over here!
My front cover, complete with monogram and name!
I decided I wanted to order one months ago and I finally allowed myself to at the beginning of November, just after my birthday. In all honesty it has taken me months to choose a cover design. Even then I changed my mind at the last minute! I'm very specific when it comes to layouts I like so choosing that aspect out of the 4 options Plum Paper offer was no issue. I also ordered the fitness add-on pages to [hopefully!] keep me motivated throughout 2016.

One of the things I was most impressed with was that my planner arrived in the UK within two weeks of me ordering it. Considering each design is personalised, it needs to be printed and put together and shipped thousands of miles, I couldn't believe it! I was expecting it to take up to 4 weeks.
Monthly Pages
The planner itself is beautiful. It feels really sturdy and the pages are easy to right on. The different months are colour coded and I LOVE the opening page of each month where you can list birthdays, special events and things to remember, as well as space to set 3 goals for the month. Then there is a monthly view before turning the page to your weekly views. I chose the layout set out in hourly increments. The only complaint about the whole planner that I have is that the times only go up to 8pm - I would have liked them to go a little bit further in to the evening!

There are spaces all throughout the planner for making notes. At the back there is a section for contacts, passwords, important dates and two folders for keepsakes. The dimensions also mean Erin Condren stickers (which are a really popular feature) fit perfectly in to the Plum Paper planner - should you want that option! There is so much room for writing different things - you could never run out!


Week view (Option 2: Hourly Increments)

The Fitness planner is brilliant. It's got 12 monthly pages to track weight loss, measurements, fitness goals, highs and lows as well as notes of any rewards you give yourself! You can also track the specific exercise you do on a day-to-day basis as well as your water intake. For an extra £3 - it was a no brainer.

At the back of the planner
The planner itself was £20 ($31) and Etsy charged £12 for shipping to the UK which is quite steep in comparison to other places but given the time and condition it arrived in I'll take it.


Fitness Add - On
They are worth Every.Single.Penny!!! I honestly cannot wait to start using it every day. If you are looking for a 2016 planner, I cannot recommend Plum Paper enough.

What do you think? Are you as obsessed as me?

The people at Plum Paper are AMAZING! They've provided me with an exclusive coupon code for my lovely readers.

FITNESS | SurfSet Class Review

Leave a Comment


A few weeks ago I tried a new class with my good friend Sophie. Surfiest had caught my eye after my girl Kate, a Surfset instructor in Baltimore, MD, began posting on social media. Whilst in Greece I noticed that a gym near me was starting classes just as I got back! One of the very first in the UK. After watching some promo videos I knew I HAD to try it out.

TRAVEL | Two Weeks of Luxury in Kefalonia, Greece

Leave a Comment

Hello loves! I've just gotten back from two weeks on the beautiful Greek island of Kefalonia and I can't wait to share some of my pictures and my experience with you! I visited with my family and my boyfriend and we stayed in a gorgeously serene 4 bedroom villa in the hills of Agia Efimia. The food was delicious, the weather was amazing and I've come home with memories to last a life-time. See below for more!

FITNESS | BooTea Teatox Review

Leave a Comment

I would be really surprised if this was the first time you have seen a picture of a BooTea tea box! BooTea are absolutely everywhere on social media and they certainly piqued my interest. With only two weeks before leaving for Greece, my Mum and I decided to try their 14 day teatox. You know me, I do not and I will not advocate quick fixes. I'll be clear right from the start - I was not doing the teatox to lose weight! My goals were to cleanse my system, have more energy and hopefully clear up my skin which has had a hard time adjusting to the water at home. For me, any weight loss was a bonus.

To read more about my entire BooTea experience, including the end results - keep reading!

NUTRITION | The SkinnyTaste Cookbook Review

Leave a Comment

I have been a long term fan of Gina Homolka's blog, SkinnyTaste, as you will have seen if you saw my recent post on healthy eating websites. That being said, when I saw that Gina had released a cookbook; The SkinnyTaste Cookbook - I knew I had to have it! My lovely boyfriend was kind enough to get it for me for Christmas (and have it shipped all the way from the US!) but me being the idiot I can be, left it at home when I went back to Arizona! I literally spent 4 months dreaming of a cookbook I had left at home! Now that I'm back, I've been making the most of all this INCREDIBLE book has to offer. Keep reading to see just why I love the Skinny Taste cookbook so much, as well as some photos of the recipes I've made!

MY LIFE | Nespresso U&Milk Review

Leave a Comment

If  you saw my Summer Wishlist post, you'll know that I've been lusting after a Nespresso machine for quite a while. My roommate in Arizona got one for Christmas last year and my neighbour had one that I helped myself to a lot of mornings! It was quite hard to adjust to being Nespresso-less once I got back to the UK!

BEAUTY | Bell Cosmetics Hypoallergenic Collection Review

2 comments

The lovely people at BeautyCrowd recently sent me Bell Cosmetics' new Hypoallergenic Collection to try out and see what I thought! Bell is a Polish brand and has only just launched in the UK, like literally today!

The line really interested me as whilst I have been diagnosed as hypoallergenic, I've never had a problem with make up - it's always been skin care that has affected me the most. I was interested to see if using hypoallergenic make up would make a difference. Even if you are not hypoallergenic, this line of products is for everyone and can be incorporated in to all routines. I'm seriously really impressed with the products! They feel incredibly high quality and for a really affordable price - the most expensive in the entire line is only £8.95.

I was sent a BB Cream, a BB powder, an eyeshadow base, a make-up base and a mascara. All of the products are dermatologist tested and approved - making them friendly for everyone. For first impressions, a full review and to see how they look - keep reading!

My Life | My Study Abroad Year in Review

Leave a Comment

If you're reading this, then I'm safely back in the comforts of my own home in the UK. However I'm writing this post with two weeks left to go in Arizona and I can't help but smile when I think about the last 9 months. I really cannot believe it's almost over and that it will by the time you read this. There are really no words to describe this experience. My Study Abroad year has been everything I've wanted it to be and more.
