Life Changes

Its nice to see my blog getting regular views again; makes me incredibly happy. On my days that I'm not on here and you want to see the more everyday blogging I do feel free to check out my Insta; @HelloGeeg. 
I update it fairly regularly and it's more of a personal insight into my life! Anyway thats not what I wanted to blog about today so back to being on topic!!! 

Seeing as I start work in about two months; I decided now was the time to get myself together, re do my hair, start revamping my wardrobe so I can look more adult; turning twenty-one is catching up with me fast and I want to be able to look as professional, yet chic as I possibly can! 

Hair
Well I've been known o mess around with my hair, grow it long then crop it short, dye it red then bright blonde (including that awkward bright ginger stage that no toner could ever fix) however this year I want to give my hair a bit of break and avoid the bleach as much as I can! I often get caught in the tragic cycle of being blonde all summer and brunette all winter! However i think i want to funk it up a little bit just before I start work and have found the colour I like!


Auburn is so multi-dimensional, looks amazing when it is in the sun and is relatively low maintenance with my natural dark hair! In terms of cut, i'm aiming to grow my hair out again currently, but it needs a good cut to get rid of my leftover bleached locks and split ends! 

Clothes
Okay I admit, i don't exactly have money falling from the sky at the moment, however, I can afford to do buy myself a staple item for a my wardrobe every once in a while. Whilst I do not have enough clothes (not even sarcasm, I barely wear half of what I own) I am aiming at maturing my wardrobe a little bit in the coming month, and I started by reliving the classic Pinafore. I wore them at primary school, and when they are teamed with t-shrts for the casual look, a blouse for a special meeting with tights and some nice ankle boots, You suddenly look really put together! 
Boohoo had a great option for me to try; which is arriving tomorrow alongside a wine coloured turtle neck shirt so I can look  nice and smart when I see my boyfriend on Tuesday for dinner without looking like a hobo! 



Secondly I got treated to an amazing pair of ankle boots from Matt as a little gift from our weekend away at the bank holiday; that made me so happy and although i tried to pay for them myself he ran off with them whilst i was changing shoes! cheeky! 
we agreed therefore that these boots are my smart boots, that i look after, polish and wear to occasions with his family and to work :D woo! 
I also bought a cute little A line skirt in the sale, whether or not that fits or makes me look hideous is yet to be seen, but it's nice to try something even if i find it's not quite as cute as i first thought; I'm all about channeling the nineties at the moment; with Jennifer Aniston as my inspiration!!! 

More to Come soon guys!!!

Absence and Explanation!

Hello!

I should really hide away because I have been gone for so long, if anyone still regularly checks this blog then i salute you for you valiance!
Its been the longest few months known to man and SO much has changed that I don't even know where to start.
The big big news will come in an entirely differ post as it closely relates to a previous blog post of mine & i believe its a real milestone!
HOWEVER!
I have concluded my second year of university! All of my assignments have been due the last few weeks and quite frankly I have become a hermit of a woman, 12,000 words and two short features later and I am just about breathing!!!! I'll be sharing one of them with you very shortly once i've updated and caught up with life!

I went back to Thorpe Park at the weekend, with Matt & my two housemates; it was such a thrill, i realised i can actually scream louder and faster than 80mph, i'm fairly certain there was a poor dog somehwhere that heard that shriek and hid away! If you don't believe me here is proof!!!
As you can see... Matt really enjoyed it.. I did not. 

Back on topic, I have also signed up to run 10k for the Run to the Beat race on behalf of the British Heart Foundation!!!  To even run I need to have raised £250 pounds and so far I have only raised £30! I could really do with a little boost, so if anyone anywhere could spare even a few pounds I would be more than grateful! 


In fact I'll promise to update more starting with the really big news  which I'm sure you are all dying to hear about! 

Keep an Eye out!

SPENDIN'

It's very rare that I actually spend a lot of money on myself, I despise clothes shopping, I'm not a big shoe person & I'm much more of a rucksack girl than a ted baker bag hoarder. I like homemade and rare items like ones found on Etsy or Tee fury thirst which only have a 24 hour sale life making them practically limited edition.

Despite aloof that, I decided on Monday that I needed to spend a lot of money because I've been so super busy the last few weeks, Matt has been away & left me Monday-Friday and last but not least I felt I'll! So this happened,...






As a rundown of what exactly I have in this pile of goodness...

  1. A Bailey & Quinn Purse
  2. Essie Gel nail varnish ; colour: coral
  3. Borjois Paris Gel Eyeliner
  4. Maybelline Colossal Extreme Mascara in Extreme Black 
  5. New Look Kimono
  6. New Look Jeggings
  7. New Look Orange Vests
  8. Pastel Semi-Permenant Hair Dye. Colour:Candy Floss
This all rounded up to a total just over 100 squids! I couldn't believe it!!! However, it was the most fun I have had in a while. I dyed my hair this morning and this is the result!! 



An added bonus is there is no ammonia in the semi Permenant and for just over £4 it's added a completely fresh look to my summer wardrobe!! 

I will also be having a clear out tomorrow night! Going through all my old clothes, I'll pop the eBay links on once I've put them online! I look after all of my clothes & I am such a hoarder and need to be strict with useful and get rid of anything I don't wear anymore until I lose the weight I want. 

Until that update, I 'll write more soon guys! Xx
