Nail Varnish heaven

Hello there!

As a holiday season approaches, I get SUPER excited to wear nail varnish... An odd concept, I know, but when you have the world's most un-glamorous job which (strictly no nail varnish), and you're netball-ing 4 times a week (strictly no long nails), the chance to pamper my hands and treat them to a delicious coat or two of nail varnish is rare and precious!

Aside from the fact that it helps to keep my painfully weak nails to grow strong and happy, being able to have jolly hands makes me a very happy lady!

So on a small shopping trip with Mama today, I picked up some little bargains in Boots!

Colour Show by Maybelline is always a favourite of mine anyway- it just seems to go on nicely and doesn't chip too quickly, which is all I really ask for in a nail varnish! And even better, ONLY £2.99!

From left to right, the colours I chose were:

150 Mauve Kiss

214 Green with envy

341 Orange Attack

110 Urban Coral

211 Tanned & Ready - VINTAGE LEATHER (Very excited to try this one out!!!!)

I also purchased a few of my old faithfuls, L'Oreal, still at a very reasonable £3.99 a bottle.

I bought the two colours below (503 Addictive Plum & 836 Scarlet Tinsel) in an attempt to do an accent nail which always looks snazzy!

(As you can see in the picture, little Lexie had her hands all over this glittery duo!)

I'd love to hear what nail varnishes you guys like! Bring me into your jazzy hand world!

With love,

Zoe xx

Lauren Aquilina

Hello there!

I stumbled across the very talented Lauren Aquilina about 2 years ago, when a friend showed me some of her covers on YouTube. At the time, I was pretty impressed but soon got lost in life and it wasn't until very recently that I rediscovered her and WOW (that's me being speechless!).

Now that she is doing less covers and more of her own handwritten gems, I am loving her even more! I highly recommend purchasing BOTH of her EP's, (Fools, and Sinners) on iTunes, especially if you are a fan of flawless vocals and catchy melodies. (I have been humming 'Ugly Truth' from the new 'Sinners' E.P. for near enough a week now!)

To top off my Lauren Aquilina love, she is an 18 year old who seems to do nothing but thank the world on social media site, pull ridiculous faces (the quickest way to my heart) and shower her fans with love and affection. I don't ask for much more in an artist! You go, Lauren!

You can find her and tell her that you think she is great too either on Twitter: @LaurenAquilina or via Facebook: facebook.com/laurenaquilinamusic

With love,

We Heart It!!

Hello!

About a month ago my new housemate, Sophie came up to me with this wonderful app called 'we heart it'. 

And oh my lord I DO heart it! Definitely spending more time than is socially acceptable scrolling through their cute images, thought provoking quotes (and a few that are too cutest for my liking, but I'll embrace them anyway!) and GIFs, and 'heart(ing) it' left right and centre!

Here are a few of my favourites from today!!!

Got a secret, can you keep it?

Hello there!

I'm jumping in head first with the blog, and to all those who know me, it would seem fitting that, as we rapidly approach Season 4 Summer Finale night, I dedicate this blog to ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars.

Addicted does not even cover it. Forever spending my Wednesday mornings before lectures watching the episode which aired in the US the previous night, and more recently I've become obsessed with the crazy clues that writer I. Marlene King has been tweeting. It has been a LONG four seasons of mystery, death and anonymous messages, believe me! And I know that I'm not the only one to have been hit with this PLL bug!

For those of you who are not crazed fans, Pr
etty Little Liars is a teen-drama based on the books written by Sara Shepard, set in the town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania. It follows the lives of four girls, who begin to received anonymous text messages a year after their best friends death. Eventually is seems that EVERYONE in the whole town becomes involved and no one knows who is sending the messages etc. VERY Gossip Girl-esque, and if the Gossip Girl finale hysteria is anything to go by, I'm sure that finding the answers to all of the questions viewers have built up over the last 3 years will cause madness within the social networking world!

Be sure to let me all know if you're fans, and what you think of tonight's episode!!!


With love,

Zoe xx
