<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Yes I'm still alive and I'm still here. As you probably can tell things have been a bit quiet on the blogging front since I started back at university for my third and final year and I thought I should just fill you in on a few new things going on. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Third year is hard. I always heard people saying that third year at university was always a completely different level and me being naive didn't believe it could be that bad. It is that bad. I don't know whether its just because I study law which is a hard subject anyway and the step up has been extreme or whether its the same for every course. Anyway, blogging has definitely not been at the forefront of my mind, unfortunately, and I do miss it. I miss sitting down writing blog posts, taking photos, scheduling tweets, talking with other bloggers on twitter. There is so much I miss and I definitely know I will be returning to blogging as soon as I can but right now university has to be the main focus of my life.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">A big change for me this year is that I am actually living in a house rather than student accommodation. I love living in a house. I had a lot of worries but I have literally never been so happy. I love having a big bedroom. I love having a bath! I love having a proper sofa and a TV where we can all sit and relax. I love not feeling like I have to spend all of my time in my room, I can go and sit in the living room when I want to switch off from university mode and my room is my work and sleep area. I no longer feel the need to take food up to my room and isolate myself from the world. Having to budget my money for bills and rent each month is a new thing, but something that I've accepted with open arms. At the end of the day this is life. The struggle of money, keeping up with bills, rent, trying to decide when we should turn the heating on and how long for, it's life and I'm excited to actually be living like an 'adult' rather than just living in halls where I didn't feel independent, I felt like a naive fresher just fleeing from their home. Having a nice home to come back to with nice housemates has already made such a difference to my university experience this year compared to last year and my university work as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In terms of actual university I have actually enjoyed this year way more then my other two years at university. I don't know whether this is because of my living situations but I have loved my first semester of my third year. My modules were great and really interesting. I've made new friends on my course who are the loveliest bunch of people I know and am so happy to have actually gotten to know them properly. In terms of my results I actually did really well this semester. I stepped out of my comfort zones a lot. I also spent </span><i style="font-size: small;">a lot</i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> of time and late nights at the library and it obviously paid off! I start back from my second and final semester of my time at university this week and I honestly am looking forward to it so much. I can't believe I graduate in June </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(June 23rd to be exact!</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">) and I'm not thinking much about my plans after university I just want to enjoy the time I do have left!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Another big update is that I actually now have a boyfriend who has been taking up quite a bit of my time. It is all still quite new and quite different for me as I've never really had a proper boyfriend as such. It's been exciting and lovely. He's not a student which is refreshing that he actually forces me to shut off when I'm with him and just relax which is definitely needed sometimes! It possibly couldn't have happened at the worst time as I am in my third year of university and university is so important to me, especially to do well! But I'm excited to see what this relationship brings and we have a lot of plans for the upcoming months! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">So there's a not so quick update for you all about where I've been. Thank you so much for sticking around and still supporting this little blog of mine. I finish university in May and am very much looking forward to getting back into blogging when I do! In the meantime please bear with me, I will be back at some point this year that's for sure!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am now officially back at university for third and final year, which is both terrifying and exciting! I am literally so happy to be back in Oxford, for a number of reasons and cannot wait to get back into the routine of studying.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The last time I updated you all was as second year came to an end and boy has a lot happened over the summer, well not even the summer the past four weeks have been crazy and probably not in a good way...</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Basically at the beginning of September I was homeless, I had nowhere to live in Oxford. It all kind of happened on the 2nd September as I was on my way back from an amazing trip in Disneyland Paris and I got told by the girls I was meant to be moving in with in a few days time that our tenancy had been terminated. I was completely stressed, I was on a train in the middle of France and had no idea what to do. I rang my mum, nearly in tears mainly from the shock, and she was super calm and told me not to worry. On Saturday it was officially confirmed, I was back in England but I had work so couldn't really do anything either.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The girls who I was living with were already living in the house last year so had to go and move all their stuff out in a panic. We weren't given a reason behind the termination of our tenancy until probably Monday, it was really unclear. Luckily whilst the girls were in Oxford with their parents on the Saturday they went into a number of different estate agents and explained our predicament and managed to find a property, ready to let where the tenants had moved out that day. It seemed like things were finally looking up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Monday rolled around after a very stressful weekend of the not knowing anything. I met up with the girls, Emily and Nav, to look at this house they found and just to confirm everything. The house was a mess, the previous tenants were three boys and they hadn't looked after the house at all but we could tell it could look really nice with a few fairy lights and some candles. We signed all the documentation we needed to, but the estate agents had to contact the landlady to ensure she was okay with us moving in. At this point this was our only option as semester was beginning in three weeks time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">On top of all this going on we were fighting with our previous estate agents to get all our money back. Not only had we paid a deposit, I had paid agency fees and a first months rent upfront as well. They had over £1,200 of my money, which I seriously could not afford to lose. We had contacted the university student union and once we explained the situation they told us that this had happened before with the same estate agents, who were at this point saying we wouldn't get our money back for at least two weeks. The student union said this was not acceptable, took all our details, took all the estate agents details and actually contacted the Oxford County Council. We got our money back the day after, which honestly was such a relief. We didn't receive everything though, we did lose our agency fees which I'm not happy about but I got the majority of my money back. I will name and shame the estate agents as I don't want this to happen to any other students in Oxford as we have had nothing but problems with them, they were Enfields based on Iffley Road.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It's been a very long drawn out process. It took about two weeks for the new estate agents to get confirmation from the landlord that we could have the house. In this time I had to drive to and from Oxford on a Saturday as I'd already transferred with Tesco to my job back to Oxford as I'd honestly believed I'd be in Oxford and I'd applied for my transfer before all this house drama. It was a very long day and was really upsetting as I actually had to work on the day all the new freshers were moving into the city and were coming into the store I work out to do their first shops and buy lots of alcohol ready for freshers. Something I would be missing. I was honestly so excited for freshers this year as it would have been my last ever freshers and I was planning on enjoying it as much as I possibly could, but because of all the house drama our move in date was basically at the end of freshers and days before semester begins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We have now moved into our new student house. It's been very stressful and we are all so relieved to finally be back in Oxford because a few weeks ago we seriously didn't think we'd find somewhere to live. We are slowly but surely making our rooms and house really nice and cosy. It's currently Monday night and all my lectures start tomorrow </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(the day you are reading this!)</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">. I feel like tomorrow is going to be bittersweet, don't get me wrong I am looking forward to all my modules and learning again but it's my final year and I can't believe how quickly my time at university has gone.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hopefully this year is going to be better than last year and I can't wait to share it all with you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b> </b>It's been a very long time since I've done a Slimming World update, basically before the summer began. A lot has gone on and I've got a lot to fill you in on so grab a cuppa and get yourself comfy for my rollercoaster summer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I lost all motivation when I came back from university. I'd gain quite a bit of weight over the exam period about half a stone from my lowest ever weight. I wasn't back up at my starting weight but I knew it wouldn't take much to get back there. I was dipping in and out of slimming world but my heart wasn't in it. I'd eat well and on plan meals but I'd just want to stuff my face with naughty snacks which I mostly did do. I ended up getting really down on myself, hated how I looked again and had no one to blame for myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For most of the summer I was losing and gaining the same five pounds. It was ridiculous and I was paying £4.95 a week just to be getting myself worked up about not losing weight or gaining weight. Even when I was being really good I was still gaining or maintaining. The end of August quickly rolled around and so did my trip to Disneyland Paris, I wanted to be down to 10 stone before this trip and I ended up being at the top of the 10 stone bordering 11 stone on the scales. I didn't let it get me down though and I went on my trip wore shorts, I walked around not caring what people thought and I finally felt a bit like my old self. I ate what I wanted without worrying about the scales, stuffed my face with croissants and pain au chocolates, ate ice cream and doughnuts and cake. It was weird. For the first time since I joined Slimming World I didn't think about what I was eating and my daily 5 - 15 syn allowance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Coming back from Disney the dreaded scales were ready to greet me and surprisingly only showed a 3 lb gain from a five day trip of eating whatever I wanted without worry. I did what everyone does once they get back off of holiday to get straight back onto plan. I honestly did have good intentions to do this but I fell on the first hurdle and didn't. It was out of laziness, I'd be good all day then for dinner I'd be hungry and wouldn't want to cook so would have a pizza from the freezer or whatever my mum was cooking. I'd tell myself every day that tomorrow I'll get back onto plan. Well like always, tomorrow never came.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Roll on a few weeks of not really caring what I ate. I had takeaways, lots of cheese, chocolate and crisps, you name it I probably had it. I thought enough was enough, I am going back to university next week and I don't want to get myself back where I started. Sunday 18th rolled around, I weighed myself in the morning and surprisingly was at the weight I was before I went to Disney. It was the push I needed. I'm still miles away from where I want to be but I know I can do it. It's now Monday night and I've just completed my second day completely on plan and you know what? I feel amazing. I have a whole new lease of motivation and literally cannot wait to get back to university and continue to stick to plan. Last year I think I put too much pressure on myself and didn't enjoy second year as much as I should've. This year I'm going to drink wine when I want to, have a takeaway or go out for dinner every now and again but I'm not going to beat myself up about it, life is too short at the end of the day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have also decided to do Slimming World from home without the online subscription. I've realised now I have my timetable for next year that getting to group is not really possible and to be honest I know the plan, I've done it for over a year and I know what I need to do. My mum is still at target and I know she'll be able to help me and stock me up on HiFi bars when I crave them. I feel by not going to group I can have a naughty night or two and not have to worry about the judging I'm going to get at group when I gain a couple of pounds a couple of weeks in a row. At the end of the day the scales just show a number and they don't show how you feel within yourself and they don't show the amazing night out you had with your friends to warrant that pound or two gain. It's all about balance and I feel not going to group and doing Slimming World by myself is going to be the best thing for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am still going to stick to plan as much as possible but I'm not going to be so strict on myself. One of the girls I'm living with this year actually started Slimming World from home during the summer so hopefully we will both be able to help and motivate one another throughout the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So here's to a new adventure and the start of my new weight loss journey, a flexible journey.</span></div>

We bought these on the first night and I lived in mine, they are surprisingly comfortable to wear! Not going to lie but I have been wearing these around the house since I've been back.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>002 Watch the fireworks at least two nights.</b> Done. We managed this twice and saw it in two different locations which was a great location. Dreams </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(the firework show)</span> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">was incredible and so well thought out I will watch the footage we filmed time and time again.</span></span></div>

The queues were so long though! I wanted to meet a Princess in the Princess Pavilion but the queue was 90 minutes and it didn't seem worth it. We did due to meet a few characters but we went to Café Mickey and met five characters which we hadn't met yet in the space of two hours which was so worth it! If the menu was more to our taste we would have gone there two or three of the nights of our stay to meet characters.</span></span></div>

I lived in shorts all week and didn't need to put a cardigan on even in the evenings so having a hot chocolate was not on my mind! I did have a hot chocolate at breakfast in our hotel so does that count?</span></span></div>

This was much harder than I thought, not buying the mug but choosing which one to get. I wanted one which was a Disney park exclusive to make it a little bit more special which is harder to find than you think! I picked up a Tinkerbell one which I love! We also managed to transfer three mugs home safe and sound which is what I'm most impressed with!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The choice was awful! Both myself and my sister opted for a Disneyland Paris notebook which was actually cheaper and something we can use more as a scrapbook I also picked up a chunky pen with Disney characters all over as well.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All in all I think I did quite well. There were something things I couldn't/didn't do but that gives me a reason to go back to make sure I do them next time right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am gutted to be back but I'm trying to add a bit of Disney magic into my daily life to make the adjustment a little bit easier!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you've been following me for a while you'll know that I follow Slimming World and trying to find syn free / low syn snacks is a vital thing especially as I am always up for trying something new. When Naked Noodles wanted to send me some products to try I snapped them up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">From my understanding they are a healthy version of a Pot Noodle and as I personally have never liked Pot Noodles I was totally up for trying a healthier version especially for a quick snack or meal on the go especially when I'm at university or at work and need a quick pick me up. There a number of different flavours within the range and most being Syn free or low in syns, the highest synned one is 3.5 Syns which is still nothing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was fortunate enough to be sent three different flavours all of which I've never tried before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thai Sweet Chilli </b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">this is only 1 syn a pot.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vietnamese Beef Pho Flavour</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> which is 1.5 syns.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Singapore Curry </b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">which is free, so completely guilt free!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vupYee4KQ2I/V9MKwyJDR-I/AAAAAAAADVk/6HLWSg-gKP0GnNw6EaiM9H4R95RdfOpMgCLcB/s1600/NAKED%2BNOODLES%2BSYN%2BVALUE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vupYee4KQ2I/V9MKwyJDR-I/AAAAAAAADVk/6HLWSg-gKP0GnNw6EaiM9H4R95RdfOpMgCLcB/s1600/NAKED%2BNOODLES%2BSYN%2BVALUE.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">These are great to have alone but can also be used with other ingredients to bulk them out. I personally like to add some cooked chicken to the pots or use them as a stir fry mix where the flavourings are all sorted out for me. These are packed full of flavour so I often find I don't have to add anything else especially the hotter ones!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This has definitely made me excited to try out more flavours from their range and they are quite affordable so something you should definitely pick up and try at least once. There are so many flavours I'm sure you'll find something that tickles your fancy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> If you saw my<a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.com/2016/08/travel-make-up-bag-disney.html" target="_blank"> last post </a>you would have seen what I packed in my travel make up bag for my Disneyland Paris trip. Today I thought I'd share what I'm taking in <b>My Travel Wash Bag</b>. Like my make up bag as I am going with my sister we are sharing a lot of products even more so when it comes to our wash/skincare products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Skincare while I'm away I'm keeping really simple, which is pretty much the same as usual. I'm taking my current skincare saviour: <b>Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser</b>. My skin was pretty bad and this quickly turned it around so much so that my sister is now obsessed with it as she saw how well it worked on my skin. I'm not taking a toner as I don't bother with it most days anyway. Daytime moisturiser wise I'm taking my <b>The Body Shop Vitamin C Moisturiser</b>, this is really dewy and makes my skin feel super soft and my make up applies like a dream on top of this. Nighttime cleansing wise my sister is taking her <b>Emma Hardie Cleanser </b>as well as her <b>Garnier Moisture Boost Night Moisturiser</b> which I also own and love. It's a really hydrating moisturiser which isn't too heavy, which is refreshing as I normally find nighttime moisturisers to be really heavy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In terms of quick and easy make up removal I have a little system at the minute which is definitely working for my skin. I have been loving the <b>Nivea Double Effect Eye Make Up Remover</b>, I love all these duo cleansers with oil and water which you have to shake to mix the product up. As I wear waterproof mascara I find these are the best type of products to use to be able to remove it easily without pulling half of my eyelashes out in the process. I also love the <b>Garnier Micellar Water</b>, this mini is the perfect travel size and honestly no other product compares to this. It's so gentle but yet its honestly so effective. I've got both my mum and sister into this and they both love and swear by it as well!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">In terms of body products I am again keeping that minimal. As it isn't a typical summer holiday where you spend your time tanning yourself by the pool I thought we wouldn't really need a lot. We have of course got some sun cream as it is still meant to be pretty warm. I'm taking my favourite deodorant: </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Mitchum Advanced Control Deodorant</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">, this is a must for me especially in warmer weather. We are also taking some razors as we don't want any spiky/hairy leg situations. The </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Gilette Venus Oceana</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;"> are really good as they are the same quality as proper razors without the ridiculous price tag and are disposable at the end of use. My coconut obsession is still going strong and when my sister left me in control of picking our shower gel I knew I had to pick up the </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Original Source Coconut and Shea Butter</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">, I find this is one of the only coconut scented shower gels that doesn't smell ridiculously artificial and also leaves my skin feeling super soft but also smelling amazing.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Haircare is another vital thing for both myself and my sister. We are taking my <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/ogx-moroccan-argan-creme-review.html" target="_blank">OGX Moroccan Argan Creme Shampoo and Conditioner</a> </b>which is about half full so will last us for the trip. We are also taking the<a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/review-got-2-be-oil-licious-tame-shine.html" target="_blank"> </a><b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/review-got-2-be-oil-licious-tame-shine.html" target="_blank">Got 2 Be Hair Oi</a>l</b> which leaves both our hair soft and shiny. As we will probably be using a lot of heat on our hair we are also taking a travel <b>Tresemme Heat Styling Spray</b> to help protect our hair that little bit more. My sister has packed a couple of small cans of the <b>Colab Dry Shampoo</b> which is great for both of us as it doesn't leave a white mark on my hair </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(this doesn't really affect her as she has blonde hair!)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">. Megan, my sister, likes styling her hair as well so needed some hairspray and as we had a travel size <b>L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray</b> it seemed like the perfect thing to take with us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We were going to buy a travel size toothpaste but it actually worked out cheaper to buy a normal sized one! We opted for the <b>Colgate Max White Luminous</b> one as I have used this in the past and really liked it. I do have a new Colgate toothbrush to take as I normally use an electric one but didn't want to take it away with me. We also have lots of cotton buds, baby wipes and antibacterial gel as well!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Well that's both my travel bag posts done and dusted for my Disney trip</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> (you can read my travel make up bag <i><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.com/2016/08/travel-make-up-bag-disney.html" target="_blank">here</a>)</i></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Whilst you are reading this I will actually be in Disneyland Paris, which is crazy to think! I am beyond excited but deciding what to take in my make up bag has been much more difficult than I thought! I think what someone packs in their travel make up products shows what they truly love in their make up collection to want to use solely those products for a set period of time.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you've read my other <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/disney">Disney posts</a> </b>you'll know I'm going to Disneyland Paris with my sister for 5 days. As she is into her make up and beauty products like me we are planning on sharing quite a lot of our make up like eyeshadows and lipsticks so we don't take lots and lots with us, so some of this is subject to change but not by a lot! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Let's start with my adorable make up bag! This was from <b>Primark</b> for £3 </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(it was such a bargain!)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">. Sleeping Beauty is one of my all time favourite Disney movies so the fact this has the three fairies on it is just perfect for me. It's also the perfect size to fit lots of beauty products in and even has a small zipped pocket on the inside!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I haven't included any make up brushes because in all honesty they were filthy and pretty gross to photograph, but don't worry I won't forget them and will be making sure they are nice and clean for our Disney trip! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In terms of make up I'm going to be keeping it pretty simple and very fuss free. I've pretty much packed my everyday beauty products which I know I can apply and look presentable in about 20 minutes which means more time spent enjoying DLP.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm only packing one primer and it's my beloved <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/review-soap-glory-one-heck-of-blot.html" target="_blank">Soap & Glory One Heck of a Blot Primer</a></b> which both myself and my sister will share as we both love it and it's definitely our primer of choice at the minute. I'm taking too base products: the <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/the-perfect-summer-base.html" target="_blank">Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream</a> </b>and the <b>L'Oreal Infallible 24Hr-Matte Foundation</b>. Both are easy to apply and give me a flawless look, plus they last pretty well too! Concealer is of course a must and I've packed my <b>Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer</b>, this is great for my under eyes and spots, it lasts well on me and gives a good amount of coverage and it's really bendable.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It may seem like I'm packing quite a bit of eyeshadow but I'm not honest! I'm taking my <b>Stila In The Light </b>palette, it has a good variety of shades, they last such a long time and they are my current favourites. I'm also packing my single <b>Stila Kitten Eyeshadow</b>, which is in the Stila palette but as I love it so much I've hit pan and Kitten is no more in said palette. I am also taking my <b>Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette</b>, this is such a staple palette of eyeshadows and has such a handy mirror in it which I love to always have on me. My sister is forever borrowing this from me so it seemed only right to be taking it away from us, plus the lighter shades are good for using to blend out darker shadows.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> I am expecting long days at DLP and want my eyeshadow to be looking just as good at the end of the day as it does at the beginning. I swear by the <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/nars-pro-prime-eyeshadow-base.html" target="_blank">NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base </a></b>which is better than any other shadow primer I've tried. This makes my eyeshadow last for such a long time! A must try if you haven't tried it already. Eyeshadow is nothing if it isn't framed with good looking brows and the <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/anastasia-beverly-hills-dipbrow-pomade.html" target="_blank">ABH Dip Brow Pomade</a> </b>gives this with just a little flick of a brow brush.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I would not be going away without my black eyeliner and waterproof mascara and of course it is some staples in my make up routine. I have been loving the <b>L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim</b>, with this I can achieve a really thin line or can equally do a really good flick with some serious black eyeliner. I really love this pen and find it takes forever to dry out as well! My mascara is my forever favourite <b>Max Factor False Lash Effect in Waterproof Black</b>, this mascara makes my long eyelashes look even longer and just amazing in general, nothing has been able to replace this so of course it would be coming with me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Bronzer is a must for me in my make up routine otherwise I look ill without it as I am so pale. I love the <b>L'Oreal Glam Bronze Matte Bronzer</b> this gives me the perfect healthy glow without being too orange. Contouring is also a necessary to try and make my round face look slim! The<a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/loreal-infallible-sculpt-contouring.html" target="_blank"> <b>L'Oreal Infallible Sculpt Contour Palette</b></a> is my go to, after not thinking a lot of this when I first got it it has become my go to contour palette of choice. It gives such a natural contour which is something I love for an everyday look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Highlighter is a staple in my routine this summer and after owning quite a few different highlighters it was difficult to decide which one should feature in my DLP trip and so I picked two! The <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/charlotte-tilbury-bar-of-gold.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold</a></b> is beautiful, gives such a glowy sheen to the skin and looks amazing on the brow bone too. Of course my beloved <b>Becca Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop</b> also had to come along as well. This just adds the perfect finishing touch to a bronzed look which I will probably be sporting most of my DLP trip. With all that glow going on I need a good powder to set everything in place and not look too much of a disco ball when it gets a bit hot. I opted for my <b>Soap & Glory One Heck of a Blot Powder </b>not only because its a great powder but also for the sturdy packaging, this mattifies everything without making your make up look cakey which is perfect for me, because who wants a cakey face?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lip products I keep switching up and I have no idea what will end up in my bag! I'm thinking my <b>Mac Lipstick in Syrup</b> and maybe a few other sheer lip colours but I honestly have no idea!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I go to Disneyland Paris in 4 days, 4 days people! I am so excited! We have all our euros, tickets, insurance and we are nearly completely packed but I cannot wait! I thought I'd share some of my aims </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(I don't really know what to call them)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> for this Disney trip. As I don't know when I'll next be able to go to Disney there are a lot of things I want to do especially as I haven't been to DLP for well over ten years!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>001 Buy some Minnie ears.</b> I've never owner a pair of Minnie Mouse ears, I know I can't believe it either and I am definitely going to be buying a pair on our first day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>002 Watch the fireworks at least two nights.</b> we are going for four nights, five days and I know on our first night we might be too tired to catch the fireworks but I definitely want to try and watch them on two nights, maybe three!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>003</b> <b>Meet as many characters as possible. </b>One thing I remember from my childhood is the great character meets we got to experience and I definitely want to continue this especially as there are characters which we would have never been able to meet before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>004 Ride Crushes Coaster. </b>I wouldn't say I'm a massive theme park ride lover but at Disney there are rides to suit everyone and this new ride sounds amazing and I cannot wait to be able to ride it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>005 Ride Space Mountain. </b>I know I've just said I'm not a massive ride lover but there are some rides I just want to be able to say I've done as I never could do them when I was younger and Space Mountain is included in that. I also want to ride <b>Tower of Terror</b> but that's if I can convince my sister to come on it with me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>006 Eat at Annette's.</b> I have great memories of a child eating in Annette's Diner in the Disney Village where the waitresses were wearing roller skates and the music was playing and the food was also really nice. My sister and myself are going to try and eat here on our first night and hopefully it will be as good as we remember.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>007 Get a Disney Hot Chocolate.</b> I know we are going at the end of August but we remember the hot chocolates at Disney being really nice and of course while we are there it would be rude not to. We are hoping one night it might be quite chilly so we can justify treating ourselves to a hot chocolate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>008 Take a photo in front of the Castle. </b>Is it really a trip to Disney if I don't get a photo in front of the castle?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>009</b> <b>Buy a new mug</b>. I am a mug collector, I have so many and most of them have quite sentimental memories behind them. Of course I want to get a mug to remind myself of my trip plus I need a new Disney mug so its a win, win.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>010 Get an Autograph Book. </b>This might seem quite childish but as I haven't been to a Disney park in years I want to get an autograph book. I actually found one of my first ones the other day and it's so nice to look back. This is something I will also be buying on our first day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>

But that doesn't stop me creating endless notes in my phone full of all of the beauty products that I would love to be able to afford and own. I'm currently going through a stint where I'm really into high end make up, but unfortunately my bank account cannot support this phase </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(which may or may not be a good thing, I haven't yet decided which though yet!)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Throughout the summer I find I get hooked on so many new TV shows as in the evenings I like to unwind by watching an episode or two of a TV series.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I did start watching this with my flatmate at the end of the year but it's a show you have to pay quite a bit of attention to and neither of us were in the right head space. Fast forward a couple of months and I started watching it again and I know understand what all the hype is about. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the first series but cannot wait to see where it goes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Trashy reality TV shows are such a guilty pleasure of mine and CBB is no exception. This series so far has been full of tantrums, arguments and even a removal already and it hasn't even been two weeks. I know there are better things to spend my time on and watch but at the minute I have been hooked onto this! Plus for once I actually recognised most of the celebrities compared to normally only knowing maybe one or two.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Another, some may say, trashy reality tv show. Made in Chelsea is a favourite of mine, I love all of the people involved and I always find their 'holiday' series are always better than the normal shows. Mark Francis is just amazing and the episode where he tried to get someone to teach Binky french was brilliant. My Monday nights are currently being controlled by this show and I wouldn't have it any other way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When summer comes around I am always after a light base. Something which I can wear on a day to day basis which is quick and easy to apply but still gives a flawless finish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was roaming the beauty bit in my local Superdrug </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(which didn't take that long as its so small!) </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">and found myself picking up the Bourjois CC Cream in Light. I remember always hearing good things about it when it first came out but never found myself picking it up and trying it out for myself. I wish I had tried this earlier as <i>*spoiler alert*</i> it is so good!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As with the majority of CC creams it is a very light coverage but I find it does still cover minor imperfections and what it doesn't cover can easily be fixed with some concealer. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've found it is a buildable coverage which I do like on days when a thin layer just isn't going to cut it. The colour in my opinion is a pretty good match for my skin tone which is surprising as in the past I have found that most tinted moisturisers come in limited shades and that they tend to be on the orange side, but I haven't found that with this. Once set with a good powder </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(my current favourite is the <b>Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot Powder</b>)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> that this does last quite a while </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(including working a 7 hour shift in a supermarket on one of the hottest day of the year)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am all for one for lazy make up days where I just want to throw some make up on my face and walk out the door and I think with this product I have my base covered.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Bourjois is a brand that I have overlooked in the past but after being super impressed with their CC Cream I will be checking out the</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ir stand more often. Do you have any favourite picks that I </span><u style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">need</u><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> to try?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">July has been a <i>pretty</i> hectic month for me. It wasn't so much at the beginning of the month but the last couple of weeks have flown by and have been insane!</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Surprise 50th Birthday </b>// It is one of my dads really good friends 50th at the beginning of August and his wife decided to throw a surprise birthday party. After a lot of planning and secrets it all went off without a hitch and was such a nice evening where I let my hair down a little bit and just had an amazing evening.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Going to a Wedding </b>// When I was younger we lived next door </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(we still live near them now)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> to this family and the oldest child, Ben, got married at the end of the month and I was fortunate enough to be invited all day. It was such a beautiful day and lovely to see people I don't get a chance to see that often. It was lovely to be included in such a special occasion.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="font-size: small;">Catching Up with Jess </b><span style="font-size: x-small;">// I've mentioned my friend Jess</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(YouTube <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPvDsEsdGCkpVnRPDW7_6aQ">here</a></i> and Blog <i><a href="http://www.jdrmakeup.com/">here</a></i>)</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> quite a few times on here but since been g back from university at the end of May I have literally not seen her. We have both been really busy and time has literally flown by. It was so nice to catch up and we just talk and talk for ages about everything. We will hopefully be meeting up again before we both go back to university which will be lovely.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Dad's 50th Birthday </b>// On the 30th July it was my Dad's 50th birthday. I can't believe that he's 50th, I honestly don't believe he is that old. We had some family members come up from Wiltshire and we went out for lunch and it was honestly such a lovely day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>My Sisters 18th Birthday </b>// On the 31st July it was Megan's birthday</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(yeah a bit of a hectic weekend in our house!)</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">. It was really nice, and she didn't really want to do anything so we just had a lovely chilled day at home with a takeaway, a couple of glasses of prosecco whilst sitting in our pyjamas. We are very different and whereas on my 18th I went out and got drunk legally for the first time whereas Megan doesn't like drinking and would much rather spend the night in then go out! But don't worry I will be taking her out very soon!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">July has been a very busy month. I'm definitely looking forward to a more relaxed August and of course I am going to Disneyland Paris at the end of the month so that's something to be excited for!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pACoiaPIxBw/V3vd0o1KQ0I/AAAAAAAADP0/u-ZdiCLyJqUgs7RxgcXnCoNrqIt2qawXQCLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-07-05%2Bat%2B14.24.33.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pACoiaPIxBw/V3vd0o1KQ0I/AAAAAAAADP0/u-ZdiCLyJqUgs7RxgcXnCoNrqIt2qawXQCLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-07-05%2Bat%2B14.24.33.png" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you read my <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/disneyland-paris-2016.html">Disneyland Paris </a></b>post you'll know I'm off to Disneyland Paris at the end of August with my sister. It's now just under 60 days until we go which means we can now book our restaurant reservations for the time we are there and I thought I'd share with you our plans for whilst we are away.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A quick overview is that we are going from Monday to Friday and with</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> our booking we've got a Plus Half Board Dining Plan. This basically means we can go to most of the restaurants within DLP and can go for either lunch or dinner whilst we are there. We are planning on mainly using our dining vouchers for our evening meals and taking advantage of both the buffet restaurant </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(which are primarily available on the standard dining plan)</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> as well as the table service restaurants.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Monday</b> The day we arrive we don't get to Disney until about 3pm in the afternoon, we aren't really planning on doing a lot on this day just to mainly get our bearings around DLP again but we will hopefully be going to <b>Annette's Diner</b> which unfortunately you cannot make reservations for which we've kept in mind and if we can't get in there we will wander around Disney Village and go in whatever takes our fancy or go back to our hotel and have a meal in one of the two restaurants available. We chose <b>Annette's Diner</b> though as we remember going there when we were children and just loved how the waitresses were wearing roller skates and of course the food being American themed with burgers and all sorts is right up both mine and my sisters street.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Tuesday</b> We've decided to go to a buffet restaurant on the second night, just to mix things up a little bit and we've decided to go to <b>Plaza Gardens Restaurant</b>, we've never been there before but as it's International Cuisine we are sure there will be something there for us to eat. The good thing about buffets is that we can eat as much as we want to make sure we get through the evenings without being hungry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Wednesday </b>Another thing we were certain that we wanted to do was have a Character meal and luckily with our meal plan <b>Cafe Mickey </b>is included which means we don't have to pay extra for it. We went there as kids as well and can remember our food being served on frisbees and our desserts in Pluto mugs which we kept for years afterwards. We know it won't be the same now we are both adults but are still excited for the experience of interacting with the characters!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Thursday </b>We decided on going to another buffet restaurant on our last night and were really intrigued by <b>Parkside Diner</b>, it's based in the Hotel New York at DLP which looks amazing and we would have loved to stay at. As it's American Cuisine we know we will love all of the food on offer and going to a buffet restaurant gives us the flexibility that we want in terms of taking as long as we want to sit down and enjoy our food.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Friday </b>Our last day we aren't going to get an evening meal as our train back is just before 4pm. We haven't booked anything as we aren't quite sure if we'll get a dining voucher for this day. So we are going to either go to a Counter Service restaurant for a late lunch or try and get into a restaurant if we get a dining voucher but we'll decide that once we are there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So that's a rough outline of our meal plan whilst we are there. In terms of lunch we are going to go with the flow and maybe pick something up from a Counter Service restaurant or a quick Service Restaurant. Luckily with our meal plan we do get a teatime treat in the afternoon which includes a snack and a drink.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've been using the<b> <a href="http://www.dlpguide.com/">DLPGuide</a> </b>website to help with planning as there are some restaurant menus and ideas, I'd definitely recommend looking there if you want to plan a DLP trip in the future!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am getting so excited for our upcoming trip as it is quickly coming around. I have a lot before then to look forward to as well but I can see the next month going by really quickly! If you have any recommendations for restaurants or must go places for a quick meal please let me know as we haven't been to DLP in over 10 years!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">For the past two years whilst I've been at university I have been in some form of student halls. In first year I, like most first years, lived in university supplied student accommodation with complete strangers. It was an unusual experience, and one I won't be doing again in a hurry. In second year, I lived in private student accommodation with three girls I chose to live with. I am relieved to say next year </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(for my third and final year at Oxford Brookes University) </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">I will be living in private rented house which I am excited for and I'm glad to be seeing the back of student halls for hopefully the foreseeable future. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">001 The cost of halls. In Oxford student accommodation is <i style="font-weight: bold;">so</i> expensive, its beyond ridicous! My friend paid more than £9,000 (what it costs to spend a year at university) to live in student accommodation last year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">002 Not being completely 'independent'. I hated the fact that to do anything, even use the car park we had to get permission!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">003 The ridiculous cost of laundry. We had laundry cards which you could only top up in £5 denominations, and to use a washing machine was like £3.20 and to use the dryer was £1.20. meaning I lost money on my card, as you can't get refunds and you have to pay £5 for the privilege to get a card to be able to use the laundrette.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">004 The loudness of other people. People were beyond inconsiderate, people would shout outside our rooms, smoke outside our windows, be really loud around exam time, so glad to be out of there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">005 Having to forever empty the bins as most of my housemates thought it was below them to have to empty it, but they'd happily fill it with their takeaway boxes and rubbish from their bedrooms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">006 Having to live in a pig sty. I was apparently the only one who didn't want to get ill off of the kitchen sides and actually wanted to live in a nice place, we were paying enough!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">007 Not being able to have my car at my halls. Granted in Oxford you don't really need a car, but I missed the independence and being able to go proper food shopping at a big supermarket rather than having to survive off of shopping from express/metro stores.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">008 Things always breaking. I don't what it is with student accommodation but there was always something going wrong, whether it be the water being cold, or the showers/toilets not working properly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">009 People being able to walk into our flat whenever they wanted. In student accommodation they seem to think they can enter your flat/room whenever they felt like it. We had staff enter our flat at 11pm at night before, and on a weekend. It never truly felt like we were in 'charge'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">010 Not being able to personalise <i>anything</i>. I was in quite strict accommodation both years and they basically didn't like us putting anything on the walls, or anything that could make the place feel more homely like fairy lights and candles, hence why the last year I haven't felt at home in my room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">011 Small Wardrobes! I had such small wardrobes, and trying to keep most of my day-to-day clothes, going out clothes, work clothes, loungewear and just other bits was so difficult! Storage in general was pretty crap at both my accommodation!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">012 Unwillingly sharing food. Both years we didn't share food but that didn't mean that I would often run out of certain things even when I knew I hadn't really used them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">013 Being isolated. I had an ensuite room in both years, which don't get me wrong I was definitely grateful for but in the second year I could basically lock myself in my room and wouldn't see anyone for a good few hours, whereas a communal bathroom I feel like you'd have to leave your cave and actually socialise with people a lot more, plus it may have helped my living situation last year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">014 Dirty washing up staying there for days. Seriously the people I lived with were gross they wouldn't wash up for days, it would smell, take up so much room and when they eventually washed up they would leave it 'drying' for days on the side of the kitchen so no one else could wash there stuff up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">015 People bringing complete strangers round without telling anyone and leaving them alone in communal areas. Please tell me my flatmates weren't the only ones who did this? The amount of times I walked into the kitchen, in my pjs, more than likely just woken up and there were randoms I'd never even met in my kitchen, going through my cupboards was ridiculous.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">016 People using my supplies. I bought so much kitchen roll and washing up liquid last year and I wouldn't have minded people using it but they used so much at any one time and never bought there own or offered to split the costs with me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">017 Forever being ill. This goes back to being the only one really cleaning anything, my immune system was awful, I swear I was ill most of the time and no matter how many vitamins I took I would still get ill.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">018 People cooking with the window shut <b>and</b> the extractor fan turned off. My flatmate had a thing about cooking bacon, a lot of the time, and refused to open the windows or turn the extractor fan on so not only would the kitchen be smoky and smell of bacon it would actually go through the vents and transfer to my room. I didn't want to smell like bacon 80% of the time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">019 The btichniess. Omg this was so apparent in my second year, especially living with all girls. It was so <i>exhausting</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">020 Being woken up my slamming doors. Most student halls have fireproof doors, meaning they are extremely heavy and are prone to slam. So being woken up at 3am was a regular occurrence and sometimes at 5am after one particular flatmate decided to do an all nighter at the library.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Even though I'm living in a house next year I'm looking forward to the new adventure. I've never lived with the girls before but we are all quite similar so hopefully I won't get any of the problems I've had the past couple of years!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I did a <a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/spread-love-favourite-blogs-1.html"><b>Spread The Love</b> post </a>quite a while ago now but blogger orientated. As I have been watching a lot more YouTube over reading blogs the last few months I thought it was only right to do a post dedicated to my favourite YouTubers who I always look for first in terms of my subscription box.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I have always loved Alix's videos but as she was doing Vlune and was uploading a lot more regularly I couldn't wait to see what content she'd bring out next. She was one of the first YouTubers that I started watching and I love that I still watch her videos today. Her haul videos are some of my favourites as well as her daily vlogs especially when they contain her puppy, Moon!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Helen was a recent find for me. I found her main channel first and quickly found myself browsing all of her videos one evening and got lost within her content. I love how real she is and how she doesn't sugarcoat things. She's very real. I love that she's done a video on '</span><u style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrHMVUTvSrE">How to Buy a House</a></u><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">' and things that are relevant to the majority of people in their everyday life. I quickly then stumbled across her vlog channel. You see a lot of Helen's personality in her main channel videos anyway but her vlog channel you just see more of her awesomeness. I loved watching her Trek America vlogs and basically just being nosey into her day to day life! Someone I don't think has enough recognition for either of her channels but she's so amazing and I'm <i>so</i> glad I recently found both of her amazing channels!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I came across Charlotte's channel after I booked my DLP trip and went through a stage of binge watching Disney vlogs/videos. I then found Charlotte's Weekly Vlogs which I loved and then all of her normal videos as well. I have been loving her latest vlogs of her Disney World vlogs, which I am super jealous of! I relate so well to Charlotte, I feel we are so similar with a lot of the same interests and that's why I always make sure to watch her latest videos!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another YouTuber I found on my search for Disney videos/vlogs and if you love Disney you definitely need to check out Ellie's channel! There are so many Disney vlogs from her Disney World trip last October to her Disneyland Paris vlogs from last Halloween and she has so many more to post as well! I also love that she's recently started Weekly Vlogs which I also love! Weekly Vlogs are by far my favourite videos to watch from any YouTuber and Ellie doesn't disappoint. She is also quite open in them as well which allows us a proper insight into her life and week. I'm so excited for her continuous Disney videos and her Weekly Vlogs!</span></span></div>

I love her personality, how she comes across that she doesn't really give a s*** about certain things and isn't afraid to express her thoughts.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I usually don't really do 'life' update posts that often, they're usually university related or Slimming World updates.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you are an avid reader of <b>Beauty and Me</b> you would have noticed that I haven't blogged for the majority of June and before then I took most of May off. As many of you will know blogging is a hobby of mine, I don't earn money from it and it has currently taken a back seat. There hasn't been a real reason in all honesty. If anything I just haven't felt like myself since returning home from university for the summer. I feel a bit lost and as a result my blog hasn't been a priority. A few weeks of making time for me </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(when I can)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> and just enjoying time off and not putting too much pressure on myself I am back and hope to continue blogging regularly now for the foreseeable future </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(fingers crossed!)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm actually gutted I have had to take such a long break but I've had such bad bloggers block. I am glad to say that is definitely in the past and I've got some exciting plans for the remainder of the summer from university related posts, to Slimming World posts and of course the usual beauty and lifestyle posts that have always featured on Beauty and Me. If you do have any requests make sure to leave a comment on this post or tweet me at @beautyandmexo, as after all I want to write things you'll be interested in reading!</span></div>

Please be patient with my though, as even though I have finished university for the summer I am doing a lot more hours at my part time job and also sending out lots of application forms for jobs after I graduate next year</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> (all very stressful!) </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">but I'm excited to be posting more on my little bit of the internet!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">May was a write off for me. Exams and university was a massive struggle and despite trying to be on plan when you're revising and nothings going in you just want to comfort eat and chocolate and crisps and ice-cream becomes a girls best friend. After two weeks off and over-indulging and just enjoying myself I put on <b>4 lbs </b>at my weigh in on 18 May. It was the push I needed. I have now lost my stone award, which I have never done since achieving it and I so desperately want it back!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Also in other news there is a whole new Facebook group for bloggers who do Slimming World, which was thought up by the lovely <b><a href="http://www.sophie-rose.co.uk/">Sophie Rose</a> </b>who has recently joined Slimming World herself. The page, which you can join <i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/bloggersdoslimmingworld/permalink/1621405911512278/?comment_id=1621406548178881&reply_comment_id=1621504794835723&notif_t=group_comment_mention&notif_id=1463668543907346"><b>here</b></a></i>, is so amazing and there is so much support from like minded people with no judgment. There is also a new hashtag specifically for bloggers who following Slimming World which is <b>#BloggersDoSW </b>so get involved, its been so great talking to other people and getting motivation and inspiration outside of my SW group!</span></div>

I moved back home from university the week after so my mum has been super supportive and we've been back on it like we were last summer. Also leading up to moving back home I didn't have a lot of time to think about food as it was basically Go, Go, Go. With packing up the room I'd been living in since September, and work and just trying to still be social. Which I couldn't be happier with in all honesty otherwise I would've just carried on eating until I got right back where I started last July.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Wednesday 25 May </b>// I wasn't expecting anything amazing this week. I <i>really</i> would have loved a 2 lb loss but after a stressful couple of days of moving out of my university accommodation and basically refusing to buy anymore food before I moved I was happy with a <b>1.5 lb loss</b>. I'm not expecting anything amazing for the following week though as its only 5 days before weigh day but we shall see.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Monday 30 May </b>// Star week made an earlier appearance this week. I am on the pill but I think after moving and probably not taking all my pills at the right time everyday its confused my body. I am annoyed at myself for this as it does affect my weight loss. Anyway I <b>gained 0.5 lb</b>. I'm frustrated but I've bought a countdown and my mum and I are completely back on the Slimming World bandwagon. I've drawn up a meal plan and am determined to get back into it! Also I'm back at work and finally have a routine back into my life so hopefully all should be good next week!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Monday 6 June </b>// A good week this week. I posted most of meals on my SW insta (@sw_paigesjourney) and also kept a food diary which I haven't done in ages! It obviously helped me though as I had a <b>3 lb loss</b>. I was over the moon, I feel I finally have my mojo back! I want to get to 10 stone by the beginning of July so this was a great start to the month! I also bought a 6 week countdown to keep me motivated! So excited to be losing weight again though, I feel so much better for it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am so glad to be back on the SW bandwagon. I have nothing to get in my way and I so desperately want to get to target before I go back to university in September!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I recently got paid and after not really buying a lot of make up recently I decided to pop into my local Superdrug. I did need to repurchase my current favourite foundation but it was on 3 for 2 and it would have been silly not to pick up some other bits.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I first picked up my favourite foundation of the minute, the <b>L'Oreal Infallible Foundation in 11 Vanilla</b>. I am running out of this and didn't want to be left without it so needed to purchase a back up just in case. This retails for £7.99 which is super affordable for a foundation from the drugstore as most retail for £10. This isn't really a heavy duty foundation in my opinion, it is buildable but it is really a light to medium coverage and lasts for quite a while on my skin. Hence why this is one of my favourite foundations at the minute!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Seeing as I love the foundation so much I decided to pick up the <b>L'Oreal Infallible Mattifying Primer </b>which also retails for £7.99. I've tried this a few times now and it is nice. It is a silicone feeling base, which I know not everyone likes but I don't mind it. I haven't tried it out enough to see if it does prolong the wear of my foundation but I will keep you posted!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I knew I wanted to pick up both the foundation and the primer but didn't know what else to try. I spotted the new <b>L'Oreal Infallible Sexy Balm in 103 As If</b> which was only £4.99. I wasn't sure what to expect but after sorting out my lipsticks before coming home from university I was seriously lacking in the easy to throw on sheer pencil lip products. I have to say I love this! It adds such a nice bit of colour, it also smells and tastes amazing, like seriously. If you ever had a screwball ice cream from the ice cream van and had the bubblegum in the bottom it tastes and smells just like that! I am definitely going to be picking up a few more shades of this! I watched the brighter shades on my hand and they actually stayed on really well so may have to try those!</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> The past year has seen a rise in popularity for adult colouring books. I for one used to love colouring and when I saw this latest trend I knew I needed to get in on it and so saw the start of my adult colouring book collection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The world today is very gadget based, with everyone spending the majority of the time glued to their smartphone, tablet or computer. I think its important to remember to switch these off and take a bit of time away from the technology. This was something I was particularly trying to do around exams to give my brain a break and to wind down in the evening to improve my sleep pattern. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Colouring is surprisingly <i>really </i>therapeutic and passes the time really well. In the evening when I find myself at a loss or watching TV and need to my hands busy so I don't stuff my face with food I grab a colouring book and my colouring pencils and just colour away. I have a variety of colouring books, two which I bought myself and two which I received as presents for my birthday and christmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've found I like intricate designs, something that takes precision as I find otherwise I get bored. I really like Millie Marotta's Books, she has so many and they are all so good! I've bought most of her range and gifted them to friends and family for birthdays and christmas presents. Another favourite of mine is the Mindfulness Colouring Book, theres no theme to the book, just random pictures and patterns to colour which I personally think is great plus the book is compact so is handy to take travelling or on the go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The things you actually use to colour with are also very important, in my opinion anyway. I've tried a variety of pens and pencils from felt tips to fine liners to colouring pencils. As much as I love fine liners I find they can be quite messy but are the best for bold colouring or really small, intricate parts as they are so thin. But I definitely prefer colouring pencils, the pack I have has so many different colours</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> (I think theres five different shades of yellow!) </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">which you can't always get in fineliners without spending a fortune!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Overall I think Colouring Books for Adults are absolutely great. They help pass the time really well, ideal for destress or when you just want some quiet me time where not much thinking is required. I find I prefer colouring in the evening as the perfect activity to do to wind down before going to bed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Colouring Books vary in price and design but I've found the cheapest place to get them and a wide variety are on <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=colouring+books+for+adults">Amazon</a>.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Since turning 20 and saying farewell to my teens and childhood and hello to adulthood I have become quite the retrospect. I was sat browsing Netflix and realised how different childrens TV is today compared to what I grew up watching. Seeing as its a Thursday it only seemed right to do a Throwback Thursday of all my favourite TV shows I used to love watching as a child.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I grew up watching this as a child and loved it. I've watched a few episodes since getting older and I still love it! The earlier seasons are definitely my favourite when Sabrina was in High School. If you didn't watch this a child you missed out. If you couldn't tell it was all about this teenager called Sabrina who just found out she was a witch and you go through her life with all the struggles a normal teenager would face with school, boys and friends and then the added thing of trying to control her powers. I still love Melissa Joan Hart today as an actress and love her specifically in <b>Holiday in Handcuffs </b>and <b>Melissa and Joey</b>!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I can't remember how I got into this exactly but I just remember loving it as a child.

I loved the whole dynamic of the show and of course the crazy fashion as well! The films when they came out were also amazing. The later series when they were at college I wasn't crazy about but the original was a complete favourite of mine as a child/teen!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was very lucky when I was younger that we had Sky which meant we got Disney Channel and the TV shows that bought and of course the Disney Channel Original Movies. One of my all time favourite shows was Lizzie McGuire, I loved how she wasn't perfect, she was constantly embarrassing herself and was oblivious to the fact her best friend was in love with her. It felt very real and just hilarious. The Lizzie McGuire Movie is still one of my favourites to this day!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This show was really random and the face Raven pulled when she got a vision was hilarious but I loved this show </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(I'm basically just repeating myself!)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">. The family dynamic and the drama and the most random situations Raven got into because of her visions were brilliant. She always managed to have get dressed up in the most ridiculous outfits! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This was such a feel-good TV show. The comedy in this was so good between the two step-brothers and of course not forgetting the 'evil' sister Megan. I loved the family dynamic of this and of course Josh's love for Oprah, Oprah! I so wish this didn't end when it did as I can imagine it would be a show I would still love today to flick back and watch!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Finishing Second Year // </b>I finished my second year of university this month, the 12th May to be exact. It was a very stressful year but I am quite to see it be over, its gone way too quickly! To think I start my third and final year in September is beyond scary but I'm looking forward to a new adventure with new modules and living with new people!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Cinema Trip </b>// If you read my <b><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/april-highlights.html#more">April Highlights</a> </b>you'll know I went to the cinema with my friend Nav at the end of the month. As we got a voucher we thought we should go to the cinema again, especially as the cinema is normally <i>so </i>expensive! We decided to go and see Bad Neighbours 2. I saw the first one in the cinema, and was slightly worried that the second one wouldn't be as funny as the first but it was! I love the twists and how different it was from the first, which I thought was going to be quite difficult. We were both laughing throughout!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>D</b><b>ay Trip to London </b>// I <u><i>lov</i></u></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u><i>e</i></u> London, and wish I could go more often. On the Tuesday after we finished our exams myself and Sophie </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(my current flatmate)</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> decided to go for the day. We got the Oxford Tube </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(basically a really regular coach service that takes you to and from London and is super cheap! £10 for a day return!) </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">at 9am and got back just before 10pm. It was such a nice day, we didn't really have any plans so just wondered the city, going to Carnaby Street, Oxford Circus, Marble Arch, Covent Garden, </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Leicester</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Square and Westfield Shopping Centre. To say my feet were aching at the end of the day is an understatement </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(according to my iPhone I did over 28,000 steps that day!)</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">. I spent a lot of money, bought some nice things and ate lots of good food. I love random trips like this and am planning a lot of trips to London in the Summer as well!</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Moved Back Home for the Summer </b>// I moved out of my university accommodation on the 23rd May and to be honest I have been loving being at home! I just have so much more independence and I just love being in the comfort of my own bedroom. My room this year at university just didn't feel like 'home' like it did in first year, so I'm glad to be home. Also I've made it known that I've had a lot of problems with my living arrangements this year so I'm glad for it be other but it is the end of an era as I had lived with the girls for two years and one of them I can't imagine not living with next year, its going to be a change thats for sure! But I'm so glad to be home as I have a lot of things planned over the summer!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Since finishing exams a couple of weeks ago it means I have been able to sit for hours on end and binge watch TV shows, which I personally love doing! Sometimes you just need a hot chocolate, comfy pjs and a new TV series to have a bit of me time, or in my case a well deserved break after exams.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This was a TV show that kept coming up on my recommended TV shows on Netflix. I kept seeing it and after reading the synopsis I thought it wouldn't be for me, but I was bored and wanted to start something new. I got hooked on the first episode. I wasn't quite sure what to expect in all honesty and it isn't something I usually gravitate towards but I'm so glad I did. There's a lot of action and drama in it and I don't really want to give it away but it centres around drug cartels in New York and how they hide their money in legal businesses'. The State Attorney is also investigating 'Ghost' </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(major drug cartel leader)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> and trying to work out who it is and bring them down. I don't want to say anything else, but something you should definitely just watch the first episode and see what you think. It's so so good!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I started this TV show with my mum when I was home at Easter. We were recommended the show by a friend and we both got hooked. We downloaded all the episodes that were on Sky and we are now up to watching it week by week at the time it is aired in America. Basically a woman turns up in New York, not knowing who she is or what's happened to her, but her entire body is covered in tattoos, all of which are aiding the FBI in solving some crimes, some of which are yet to happen. It's very weird but as Jane Doe begins to learn who she once was its all very interesting. Something I keep pushing people to watch and I'm excited to see where they take the series.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have made it known before that I am a sucker for reality TV shows, not all of them but some. I got into Geordie Shore last year just before exams after my flatmates were constantly talking about it and managed to get up to date within a month. I now watch every series as it comes out on MTV and love it. I have to say I definitely ship Charlotte and Gary. The 5 year anniversary episodes have just started and I am so excited to start seeing some of the old cast make a comeback! Geordie Shore isn't for everyone but I </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">House is something I have been watching on Netflix for about a year. I started it as I wanted something easy to watch and had heard great things. I was really into the first few seasons and then now I sort of watch it in dribs and drabs whenever the mood strikes. Since finishing my exams I have been leaning towards watching this more and more. It's so interesting. Basically, if you don't know House is a leading Doctor who specialises in finding out what is wrong with people with unusual symptoms. It's really quite different to other medical dramas, in my opinion, which is why I am drawn to it so often.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The colour I picked up was Dark Brown. I actually just picked the shade from pictures online as there was nowhere near me that stocked Anastasia products for me to be able to compare shades. To be honest its a pretty good match, and if and when I ever need to repurchase this I will definitely pick up the same shade again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">With most gel products I find the brush you use makes such a difference. I use the Zoeva 322 Brow Line brush, which is short and flat and is the perfect size to use on my brows. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The brow pomade is thick in consistency, and less is most certainly more. It did take a few attempts to find the perfect way to apply this, so definitely not something to buy and then use for a special occasion before trying it out. After using it for a couple of months I can tell that this is going to last me for ages. Seeing as I use it everyday it is pretty impressive that I haven't even made a dent into this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The packaging is very sleek. In a small glass jar, which does make it seem like there is more product then there is, with a screw top plastic lid with the ABH logo in a rose gold. It looks so pretty and definitely worth the money.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It may seem quite expensive at £15 for 4g of product</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> (you can buy it at <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/anastasiabeverlyhills/dipbrowpomade/">BeautyBay</a>),</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> but like I've already said for the amount you need to use its going to last such a long time! I would also say experiment with brushes to find one that works well for you as well, as that can make a difference. This has been such a game changer in my brow routine and I can't imagine ever using anything else!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It feels like I haven't shared my current beauty favourites in quite a while and thought it was only right to tell you what I've been loving. Throughout May I actually didn't wear make up all that much, as I was staying in to revise and didn't see that there was much point in putting make up on when I wasn't going anywhere. When I have put make up on though I have been gravitating towards a certain selection of products.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in 010 Ivory </b>// I bought this after seeing Alix from I Covet Thee rave about it in one of her videos and I was not disappointed. It glides on effortlessly and covers my underage circles and the redness around my nose really well. The colour match is actually pretty much perfect as well. I find this doesn't crease as much as other concealers I've used from the high street.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette </b>// I did a whole review on this <i><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/zoeva-cocoa-blend-palette.html">here</a></i> and I have really been loving wearing warm toned shades on my lid. I think the warmer weather has definitely been having an effect on this but the shades and quality are so pigmented and soft and is my definitely go-to palette of the minute.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold </b>// I have a review of this which you can read <i><a href="http://beautyandmexo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/charlotte-tilbury-bar-of-gold.html">here</a></i> so won't go into too much detail. But with warm orange-brown toned eyes with this beautiful gold highlight has definitely been favourite look at the minute, especially with a swish of bronzer too. I cannot wait for summer to experiment a bit more with this!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>MAC Fix </b><b>+ </b>// I bought this last year in Bicester Village </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">(the discounted beauty shop is the best place ever!)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">. I have been using this before I apply my make up, as I find applying it afterwards can actually make my make up sit weirdly on my face. However, using this before is the best thing, especially with the warmer weather. It cools down my face and also works well at injecting some moisture into my face before I apply my make up.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Barry M Coconut Infusion Nail Paint in Aloha </b>// I picked this up on a whim and have been wearing it on my nails non stop. I got totally sucked in but the beautiful shade and of course the fact there is coconut oil in it. Honestly, I haven't noticed a massive difference in the condition of my nails by using this but it still lasts as long as my other Barry M Nail Paints and the colour is just perfect for this time of year.</span></div>

As it is quite light for me I find I can do some serious contouring without it looking too much, especially for everyday where. I haven't even touched the 'highlighting' shade but the contouring one is great and I think I may have to pick up the darker palette if I manage to get a tan in the English sun!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser </b>// I bought this after needing a new day moisturiser and wanted to try something new. This is really light and refreshing on the skin. I definitely look more lit from within since using this. It also acts like a great base for make up and absorbs super quickly into the skin.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Look Good Feel Better Powder Brush </b>// I got this in a set from my friend Jess for my birthday and I have used the brushes so much! I definitely want to try more from the brand in the future! The one brush I found thats stood out for me is the Powder Brush. It's quite flat compared to my other powder brushes but its great and this always comes out with me for touch ups throughout the day. It doesn't make the powder apply cakey and just has become a staple brush in my collection.</span></div>
