Day 3: My favourite TV show!

Hello Lovelies!

So it's day three of the challenge and the topic for today is my favourite TV show! 

I don't even have to think about an answer for this one, it's all about...

Grey's Anatomy! 

'Meet Meredith Grey. Daughter of famous surgeon Ellis Grey and currently a first year intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. On her first day, she meets her fellow interns: Cristina Yang, a highly competitive Stanford graduate. George O'Malley, a quirky yet warm hearted guy. Izzie Stevens, a former model who's always optimistic. Overseeing them is Miranda Bailey, dubbed by her coworkers "The Nazi". Meredith also gets a surprise when she realizes that her one night stand from the night before is her new boss.'

The show is now into its 10th season (it's that good!!), and yes I have seen every single episode more than once! Whilst all the medical drama is very intense and they see many weird cases, for me it's all about the friendships. 

Within the characters of the show, there is a friendship to match every relationship or situation. This makes the show completely relatable no matter how crazy the story line!

The best friendship in the show in my opinion is between Alex Karev and Meredith. They hate each other! He's the cocky, bad boy of the group that's just too big for his boots! But Meredith sees something else in him, and always encourages him no matter how annoying he tries to be! 

What do you all think of Grey's? And whats your favourite show?

Day 2: Something I feel strongly about!

Hello lovelies! 

So it's day two and time to talk about something I feel strongly about!

For me this is the subject of gay marriage. I know and love many people who have been affected by this topic. 

Now, my blog is a happy place so I don't want to get bogged down into all the politics of it, but rather give my stance on the topic. I know the approach to gay marriage is different in many countries, and every person has their own view so I am not here to devalue any personal choices or opinions. 

I don't know if it is the way my family is, or the people I have grown up around, but I have no opinion on the term 'gay' marriage. To me, marriage is marriage and is between two people who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. It does not matter to me if this is two men, an man and a women or two women. If the two people respect each other, support each others goals and are happy why do we have a problem? 

Seeing two men walking hand in had down the street does not hurt anyone; really in a world of one night stands and casual 'relationships', love is something to be appreciated by everyone. 

So I personally see no need for the term 'gay marriage'.

If two people love each other then they have the same right to marriage no matter what combination of male and female they are. 

That's just how I see it.

This really isn't the easiest subject to write about and this is the first time I have had to give my opinion on such a delicate topic via a blog post, but I just wanted to let you all know something i feel very strongly about.

If any of you feel like chatting more about this or letting me know how you feel,

Day 1: Five ways to win my heart!

Hello lovelies,

So today is the first day of the blogger challenge and I'm really excited to let you all get to know me a little better and hopefully read some of your answers! 

So question one is..

Five ways to win my heart! 

1. Get along with my family: I come from a very close family! We're all a little crazy, there's always some kind of drama but we love each other. My family will always have a chunk of my heart, get along with them and laugh with us all and someone could definitely share my heart with them!

2. Love animals: As a zoology student, animals are an obsession!Join in with endless documentaries, searching for fluffy instagram pictures or ranting about people wearing fur coats (sorry not my thing!). 

3. Want to see the world: I love travelling and someone that could tell me exciting tales about the great things they'd seen on trips or could plan incredible adventures with me would win my heart instantly!

4. Have your own dreams: I have so many things I want to achieve, and I'd love to be able to support someone achieve amazing things themselves! Plus annoyingly, I'm definitely a person who can't have someone around 24/7, it's great meeting up and having loads to catch up on! 

5. Make me laugh: Its the classic, don't take life to seriously and have fun! Make me laugh and laugh along with me!

Hope you enjoyed the first post, what are your top five?

Hello lovelies,

Well it has definitely been a crazy week in Cambridge, I've been dragged kicking and screaming through more deadlines than my brain could handle.

So here are some great tracks I've had on repeat this past week... 

1. Tich - Dumb

2. Lilygreen & Maguire - Come on Get higher

3. Adam Barnes - She will stay beneath the moon 

4. Hudson Taylor - Battles

5. Jose Vanders - These times

6. Nina Nesbitt - Stay out

7. The 1975 - Chocolate 

8. The 1975 - Sex

(Okay, the whole 1975 album really!) 

What songs are you all loving at the moment?

Top to Toe #1

Skin:

L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection 

This is a new collection from L'Oréal, made up of simple products that do exactly what they say. I've been using 4 products from the range and have fallen in love with every single one. 

The Cleansing & Perfecting Milk removes all makeup easily, even mascara and is alcohol free, leaving skin soft.

Also the Purifying Gel Wash is soap free, and great for oily/combination skin as it isn't drying.

The Radiance Revealing Gentle Exfoliator contains micro-beads which smooth skin without irritating or causing redness. It has a fresh peach scent, and is gentle enough for me to use every night.

Most recently I started using the Velvety-Soft Toner. This toner contains no parabens, and unlike other toners, it does not leave you with that horrid dry, tight feeling. After using this twice a day, my skin feels soft smooth. 

Nails:

With the weather slowly starting to pick up here in the city, I've been sticking with an old favourite by Rimmel! 

500 Peppermint is a fresh mint green, it applies easily with the wide professional finish brush and only needs two coats for a solid, opaque colour. 

Hair: 

This One: Get Locks Glam Again Replenishing Treatment.

After experimenting with bright tips to my hair, the constant bleaching and dying left my hair extremely damaged and straw like. I wanted to try a mask that I could also use in small amounts as a conditioner and this treatment has definely ticked all boxes! 
Containing Cocoa and Shea butters, it is a rich creme but did not leave my hair greasy or flat. My hair needs styling everyday due to its frizzy nature but since using this product i've barely used heat on my hair at all. This product will certainly be repurchased! 

Let me know what spring products you're all raving about!

A few little loves...

hello sweets,

well it was back to the grind of university this month. and honestly, it has been mad from the word go! 

on the plus side, it is the month of love and whether you spent v'day with 

the one who give you butterflies 

or 

drowning in food with your fellow cynics

 {FAC i'm looking at you guys}

i hope you had a day full of laughs and loves! 

here are my top loves for the beginning of semester...

APP:

 iStudiez Pro 

£1.99

this app is great for helping organise new modules. you can use it to keep track of all assignments, which lecturer the work is for and your timetable. for a to-do list junkie like myself, its great being able to see exactly what order my work is due and being able to plan ahead. 

  

SONG:

arctic monkeys

'why'd you only call me when you're high?'

awesome lyrics and i'm totally addicted.

BEAUTY:

rimmel london professional finish in 

500 peppermint 

and 

avon colour trend in

iced champink 

this  miserable weather isn't doing anyone any favours so in a bid to stay cheery i'm channeling a little spring. these pastel colors are sweet as can be and leave nails glossy whilst staying chip-free for up to a week {a miracle for me!}. 

DRINK: 

twinings lemon green tea

i cannot stop drinking this stuff. a much tastier take on the regular stuff! as i'm on a starbucks ban this month, this caffeine free tea is a great substitute... well as a great as anything not from starbucks can be. 

well that's just a few little favorites of mine. 

apologies for the lack of posts but you know how life gets, there's plenty of exciting posts coming in the next few weeks so keep coming back!

what are your feb favorites? 

kisses
