I've been going for a jog near enough every morning since the 3rd of Jan! Although it's not noticeable to anyone yet, I am in fact loosing weight and I'm very determined to keep on going :)

Happy me xx

I'm not too keen on music without words as I love a singalong or a kareoke night! But my new phase is house music. I love the new Hot Creations Album, I listening to it on repeat all day whilst working! The customers love listening to it whilst tanning too as it seems to remind everybody of summer and their holidays.

My favourite song is benediction by Hot Natured and Ali Love. Although it's house music (a lot of people assume it's just noise) it actually has words in it... Reminds you of the summer and you can sing along and boogy to it? We're all happy ;)

This weekend I've been very busy working 8 hour shifts in a Tanning Shop. As a student I need my part time job to pay the bills and of course treat myself to some retail therapy on my days off (when I have no essay deadlines coming up)

The Tanning Shop is a chain of shops all over the UK who sell many products, even make up! The bronzer in stock is from the shops very own range 'California Tan'. I've always wanted to try out the pink packaged makeup but never got round to it... Payday was Friday, so I thought I'd give it a try!
I love the brush! The bristles are short but ever so soft which I find rather impressive as all of my short brushes are so rough. I would give the actual bronzer a 7/10 because it's VERY glittery and quite dark on my face, especially as it's winter.

Ill put the bronzer aside for now and maybe try it again in the summer or on holiday but I will continue to use the brush :)

I didnt really watch the National Television Awards but that didnt stop me from reading newspapers and looking online to see what the celebrities wore! My fav outfit was worn by Zoe Hardman the TV Presenter who presents Take me out : Gossip along with Mark Wright (who also looked handsome).
The halter neck draped dress really stood out from the other classic red carpet dresses... Good choice Zoe!

Shopping

Yesterday my uni friends and I went to my local shopping centre Stratford Westfield for a good old spend after our uni loans had gone in (after all you do have to treat yourself sometimes).
Whilst everyone purchased bargains I struggled to find something that stood out from the dull sales so I headed over to H&M, I always get my favourite tops from here!

The winter wardrobe has now changed into Spring wear with thinner jumpers and colourful prints ready for the summer. Although there was mostly office/ smart wear I really liked the colours going on! Floral pinks and a lot of oranges (love orange at the mo).

My first purchase was an oversized black buttoned shirt with thinner sleeves so you could ruche is up and a blingy, gem collar. I saw this shirt on the site the night before so HAD to purchase it. The sizes are S, M or L with the sizes being quite big. They also have this shirt in white which im also very keen on..

Sadly I can't seem to find an image of my fav purchase but will upload one of me wearing it asap. It was a lovely white 1/4 length sleeved blouse with a sort of kaleidoscope floral pattern going on at the top of the blouse. It has a high rounded neckline which is very flattering. The silky material and bright floral colours on the front make it perfect to wear on a spring/summers day. I would pair with light skinny jeans and tan wedges for a 'liquid lunch with the girls' day out look.
