FEELING BLUE?

Today I am sharing with you eight of my favourite blue nail varnishes, for the start of my nail varnish series. So I shall begin from left to right as in the pictures above!

1. Cinderella by Sinful Colors: This is a very pretty pale blue colour with pink and gold shimmer, a perfect spring colour. This is available from boots for £1.99 (Cinderella)

2. Huckleburry by Barry M: This is a gorgeous baby blue and is definitely my favourite blue shade by far. It's a lovely spring shade recently been released by Barry M and I would definitely recommend it. You can get this from either Superdrug or Boots in the UK for £3.99 (Huckleburry)

3.Bikini So Teeny by Essie: This is my second favourite blue. It's a lovely bluebell/powder blue which I find after a few days fades to the nice powder blue with it's original colour being like the above picture. Now I was lucky enough to buy this from fragrance direct for £1.99 sadly I don't think that this shade is avaliable on there any more. However you can find it in Superdrug for £7.99 or cheaper with a bit of searching. (Bikini So Teeny)

4. Bold Blue by MUA: This is a bargain blue. I have mentioned this before in a previous blog post here so check that out for more of my thoughts on it . It can be found again in Superdrug for £1 (Bold Blue)

5. No name? by Colour Couture: this is a very stand out blue perfect for the summer. I honestly don't know any other ways to describe this colour other than bright and bold. Sadly, I don't think this can be bought separately as this was part of the colour couture nail varnish diary 2014 

6. Why not? by Sinful Colors: Is again another bright blue cream nail varnish which can be built up into a deeper bold blue colour which I think is suited for the colder times of the year. This again can be bought from Boots from £1.99 (Why Not?)

7.Sapphire by Forever 21: This is a dark blue but not yet navy colour. This is very new to my collection but I had to include it as I don't really have any shade similar to this however looking at the picture above it looks very similar to Why Not? I don't think you can get hold of this in the UK however I know it's stocked in Forever 21 in America and costs $2.80

8. Navy by Barry M: Last but not least and is essential for top eight blue collection and that is having a navy! I was contemplating between this one and a ciate one but as I have had this longer, it wins! Navy is always a shade I go to in Autumn/Winter and definitely recommend people buying a navy for their collection. This is stocked in both Superdrug & Boots and retails for £2.99 (Navy)

Now that's enough of feeling blue. I hope you have enjoyed this little post and let me know in the comments below whether a series like this is a good idea or share your thoughts by tweeting me @ramblinhan 

Until next time, love & peace, han x

SMALL PRIMARK HAUL

Well a week or so ago I had a little trip into Primark just to have a browse at their current stock. From this browse it lead to me having a small splurge on the things above as well as some underwear which I shall not be showing in this post, tehehe.

First I picked up this cute mini satchel bag which reminded me of the ones in Topshop last summer which I wasn't willing to spend 20-30 something pound on but when I spotted this I was like I must get it. It was a bargain price at £6 and totally cute for spring as it's a pastel baby pink. They also have these bags in a range of colours. My friend told me that this was available in a baby blue colour and if this is true I may have to go hunt it down. This bag is definitely perfect for when you only want to take your phone, purse and keys out. Go Primark!

The second small thing I bought was this cute polka dot pastel clips in mint green and baby pink. I thought these were adorable I have another set from Primark which was available in autumn time with autumn colours. I love these as they are  handy when you want your hair to look like you've bothered with it. These add a little something to a simple hair style and at a cost of £1.50.

The final thing I got was a Makeup Bag. Now I was undecided on this for ages I kept picking it up and then putting it back and then I finally decided to treat myself to this. I can't remember whether this was 3 or 4 pounds, but it was just what I needed. I wanted to get a makeup bag which would fit everything in and be suitable for taking it with me to places e.g friends house. So this does the job perfectly replacing my proper travel makeup bag thing.

Now that's all I have from Primark today, and I'm sure I will do another Primark HAUL in the future. So as always feel free to leave your comments below about anything related to my blog or tweet me @ramblinhan
Until next time, love & peace han x

SMALL LUSH HAUL

My little baby sister was nice enough to treat me to some lush products whilst she was out shopping as she noticed that I was quite into baths at the moment and using my other sisters lush products. So this is my very tiny not much to say first lush haul.

So on the left we have think pink and on the right we have sex bomb. I must say they are the cutest bath bombs (I'm a sucker for cute things). Think Pink fragrance is vanilla and tonka, now I'm not going to lie I can't really remember the smell as it's been a few week since I used this. However, I'm sure it wasn't to overbearing as I struggle with things that are strongly scented as they give me headaches. As you can see from the picture it has three cute little flowers for decoration which are adorable. Once I put the whole thing in my bath I wasn't just delighted by the bath water being pink but by its cute little confetti hearts which appeared. For £2.50 it definitely made my bath more enjoyable (think pink)

Sex bomb is an amazing smell, like when I walked into my room I loved smelling it so fresh and calming.. if that's possible. Sex bomb's contains jasmine, ylang ylang and sage again not to over bearing. This one only provides you with purple bath water but again has a cute flower for decoration, (no hidden surprise). I only used half of this bomb for my bath and is nicely priced at £3.25 (sex bomb).   

For my first own bath bombs from lush I was very happy. I definitely want to try out more of their bath bombs including their ones for Easter golden egg and fluffy egg, may have to go purchase them. I also want to try out their cleansers and face masks (I best get saving). Let me know what I should try from lush either by tweeting me @ramblinhan or letting me know in the comments below, really do appreciate opinions even if they cause me to go spending crazy hehe. 

Until next time, love & peace han x 

No7 EXTREME LENGTH MASCARA REVIEW

So this is my first ever mascara review and I am kind of nervous to type this. I recently ran out of mascara so my mum was kind enough to give me this mascara as a couple of these and I was happy to accept as I love trying new mascaras.

First thing first the packaging! I love the simplicity of the packaging and it being metallic purple, I personally think it makes it look sophisticated if that is possible haha. As for the wand it is just a simple plastic bristle wand the bristles are quite small so they are good at catching all eye lashes. Little side note that the packaging labeling does wear though not that this is a problem.

My thoughts? I love the fact that this mascara is not clumpy at all. It definitely gives me length not that the picture really shows that. In the picture (which isn't the best) I think I definitely coated it on my lashes as I like to make my eye lashes stand out and make them dark which you don't really get when you apply one layer. However if you are looking for something for like a natural look this mascara definitely does the job. I love it for them days when I can't be bothered to do my makeup properly. I also found this good when using it along side others for nights out. I tended to put this on first to provide me with length and separating my lashes but then I used another mascara to make them more dramatic and dark.

Overall, I am happy with this mascara I find it does create the length it says it does. I personally though wouldn't repurchase it again as for £12.50 I have found mascaras that I am happier with. If you want to check this out then you can click on the link here which will take you straight to it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or @ramblinhan I would love to hear future suggestions of mascaras to try out.
Until next time, love & peace, han x

WEEKLY UPDATE #4

So bad blogger me has failed to post my weekly update on a Sunday again! For this, my excuse is that I was too busy celebrating my friends 21st birthday which we bought her some Ted Baker earrings if you are interested in seeing them click here. So on the Sunday I was too busy curing my hangover by buying a maccies and sleeping instead of typing this. However unlike normally I have decide to include pictures before we went out to make this weekly update a bit more appealing.

Like always my week centered around university and attending lectures so there's nothing really to update you on sadly. However I do have an issue which has been putting me off blogging and that is I seem to have broken my sisters laptop, well broken it even more than it was (I should say). The laptop has an issue with the charger and has got to that stage that you have to place the charger in the right position for it to charge. This means that using it is extremely annoying and temperamental. On the bright side I should be getting a new laptop in May but that again is months away. So if I am distant from my blog this is my main reason.

I think that's about it for my weekly update this week! Hopefully it won't be too long before my next blog post.  PS: If you are wanting to know where I got my playsuit from it's from Ark and currently in the sale for £15 and they have also included two similar ones now in the sale, just click here to be taken directly to the site.
Until next time, love & peace, han x

WEEKLY UPDATE #3

Okay, this is late as this post is mean't to have gone up Sunday, however I do have an excuse which will be explained further down as my week progresses.
So, last week I did my same old same old: meaning I went to university the three days I was supposed to. I was mean't to be seeing my best friend on the Wednesday but that kind of didn't happen due to timing issues. On the other hand that Wednesday me, my mum and sister all had a meal with a family friend and received our Christmas presents which were a few things from Jack Wills. Later on that evening I also ordered an exercise bike in order for me to get fit, and so far I've managed to use it 3 times out of the 5 days of having it (not to bad for me).
So along come Friday (the day of the exercise bike arrival) and this was when my weekend began to fly by. Once the exercise bike was delivered on the Friday me and my mum spent an hour or so putting it together and whilst doing that my younger sister announced to my mum she had lost her diabetic pump monitor (that was a bit of a drama, considering she goes to America next Monday). Eventually after putting the bike together, my older sister arrived with my nephew + her fiance to stay the weekend. The Saturday me,my mum and my sisters went shopping for my nephews first pair of shoes as he started working. I then went into New Look tried 7 things of which 5 I liked and then decided I wasn't going to buy anything. After the shopping trip Saturday was just a lazy family day.
Now to Sunday which would of been the day I posted but due to family being round and looking after baby nephew I didn't really see my laptop and then in the evening I was made to go with my sister, her friend and sister's fiance (whom was driving) to go to Leeds so that my sister and her friend could go watch Bombay Bicycle club. ( I was there to go to the cinema with my sister's fiance as my sister was looking after baby at home). So, the car journey to Leeds was extremely stressful 2 diversions and then confusing lanes when actually in Leeds (literally drove past the car park 2 before managing to park up) definitely not a fan. However once we arrived I went to see the Lego Movie and loved it, it was so funny I definitely recommend you going to see it. I left with the song everything is awesome in my head for like 2 days. Once I got home from leads at like midnight I was way too tired to type up this blog post so went straight to bed.

So there's my excuse and my weekly update! Next time I will try and make sure I get it up on time. As always feel free to leave your comments below or tweet me @ramblinhan
Until next time, love & peace, han x

TOP 5 FRAGRANCES 2013

This post is actually going to be an edit of a post that I did back in June 2013. It will just be simple what fragrances I loved in 2013. These fragrances include Burberry Body, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, Next Adore, Rihanna Reb'L Fleur and Marc Jacobs Daisy. I will be saying a bit more about each below and I haven't ranked these simply due to not being able to pick a favourite (the order is just random). I hope you enjoy this post. 

1. Rihanna - Reb'L Fleur

This is Rihanna's first perfume and I love it! It is describe as: Daring, sexy and truly memorable. It is a strong scent but beautiful with ripe fruits and a floral scent including a mix of vanilla, patchouli and amber. I rate this a 4.8/5 for scent and it lasts a long while on the skin. The packaging is simple with black added to it.

I'm so glad she has continued with similar bottles for her following perfumes apart from her newest Rogue which reminded me of twisters. When I bought this I got it from B&M for £13.99 I think, but it is available in stores such as Superdrug and online. Would rate it 4/5

Body

2. Burberry - Body

Burberry Body is another of my go to perfumes and I've had this for awhile. I got this after falling in love with the sample sizzle bottle that I was scent which is the cutest thing ever and perfect for putting in a bag or travelling (sadly I have no pictures). I'm not to sure now but my sisters were able to pick up quite a few of these sample bottles in airports so if you are interested and in an airport why not have a check out.
This perfume has been described as: A feminine and effortlessly sensual fragrance with an eclectic combination of refined ingredients. The scent is gorgeous and is described as having top notes of fresh green absinthe, peach and freesia. It also has natural rose and iris blends a long with creamy vanilla and amber. The best way I can describe it is a mature scent rather than a girly one. I love the packaging simple and nice glass bottle.

Sadly, I do not know of the price as I was given this as a gift, however you can purchase it online or from the perfume shop if in the UK.  I think this is definitely the most priciest of my top five fragrances. Would rate it 4.5/5

Daisy

3. Marc Jacobs - Daisy

The next in my five is Marc Jacobs Daisy again I have had this for a year and I'm unaware of the price due to the fact it was a gift. Before receiving this I remember wishing for this for ages due to the fact of its beautiful bottle. I definitely rate this packaging 5/5 as its adorable, but definitely not compatible with carrying it about in your bag as it's quite large. The scent of this is described as floral with the smells of violet and strawberries. Definitely a sweet perfume to have, as well as this I also have the solid perfume which again I adore! Would rate it 4.8/5, definitely worth getting to your collection.

Viva La Juicy

4. Juicy Couture - Viva La Juicy

This perfume is the newest to my collection as I received it from my sister as a birthday present in May! I was super super excited when I received this as I had been waiting for this for two years when I went to Meadowhall with my friend in 2011 and I sprayed this. This is a beautiful floral scent which lasts all day (well  I find it does) it has scents including: honeysuckle, jasmine, gardenia, berries, mandarin, amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and praline. This is definitely the worth waiting for and is secretly my top fragrance out of this collection. Again like the Marc Jacobs Daisy, I think the packaging is adorable and is worthy of a 5/5. Sadly, as this is a gift I do not know its price, but I'm sure you will be able to find out on the internet. 

5. Next - Adore

Lastly, the cheapest of the perfumes is Next Adore, which is priced at £10 for 100 ml. I think this perfume is perfect for anyone who is on a budget, e.g. going to university. It is very strong floral scent and I find it lasts all day. I think this is my favourite perfume from Next and the other two I have include Runway and Just Pink. I would definitely recommend these as good gifts for friends as presents. Compared to the packaging of the others again its simple and I give it a 3.8/5. This perfume can be found in stores or on their website and on their website they describe this fragrance as:  a glamorous and sophisticated fragrance with stunning florals and golden accords. Would rate it 3.8 as it's a mature scent. 

So these are my top 5 scents of 2013. I'm looking forward to what scents this year brings me already Naughty Alice which I love and i'm hoping to pick up some perfume from Zara. I would love to hear from you guys about your favourite scents either tweet me or in the comments below.
Until next time, love & peace, han x

MUA NAIL VARNISHES REVIEW

Before I start typing away my feelings about these MUA nail varnishes I would like to apologize about how poorly I have painted my nails.. sorry! However future nail varnish reviews will improve as I bought myself a nail palette as I intend to do a few posts relating to nail varnish in the future and I find my ciate ones cringey.

Back to these five nail varnishes which were all a pound (bargain) and can be bought from Superdrug.
1. All Nude (thumb) -When I got my delivery I was like is this actually nude or is this white and the answer to that is, it has a very subtle hint of a nude brown. Was I disappointed with this? Yes & No I was really looking forward to a nice nude as some day my favourite cookies & cream by Ciate will run out. On the other hand, I like White nails and don't currently own a white nail varnish, so maybe I got the best of both worlds here.
2. Bold Blue - I bought this as I'm loving blue nails especially Essie- Bikini So Teeny I wear it all the time, definitely obsessed. But when i'm feeling blue I will be sticking to Essie not this just because I love it more. The blue in the picture is totally the right colour as to what it appears on my nails. However I found this nail varnish particularly watery compared to the others, I don't know whether it was just this one I had received or they are all like this, so thought I would share that.  (I really want to find the best powder blue, so any suggestions please let me know)
3. Natural Days- So before I bought this I thought it would be a paler pink as that was what I saw when I typed it into google, expecting a pale pink I was shocked that it was a bit darker than a pale pink not dramatically but a tade. So although the colour in the bottle disappointed me, I fell in love when it was on my nail. I had been searching for the perfect pink and I think this may be it, so praise to MUA.
4. Lush Lilac - So as before I googled the shade and was expecting a paler lilac, however I am happy with what I received but would have preferred the paler shade. But saying this I would wear this colour again especially in spring and I can't complain as its only £1.
5.Pistachio Ice Cream - I am loving this pistachio/mint green colour its lovely, perfect for spring and definitely worth having in your nail varnish collection!

General things? These nail varnishes apply streaky, so I found it took me 3 coats to get my desired colour on the nails. They lasted two days without chipping without a top coat which I'm happy with as I change my nails every couple of days anyway. Now as I mentioned above by looking at pictures and other reviews I found people had paler versions, so I dont know whether they apply a different top coat or I've just received faulty ones (if that's possible) but just be aware if you are thinking about purchasing these online.

I think that's all for this post, let me know your thoughts about the colours in the comments or tweet me @ramblinhan I'm thinking of doing a series of my top 5 nail varnishes in a particular, e.g. top 5 blues. Let me know what you think about this idea, however they will be in a few weeks time.
peace & love & until next time, han x

weekly update #2

Yet again I have had a boring week of just going to university 4 days this week, however i'm currently nervous /pooing my pants as I get my grades back tomorrow from semester 1 and I already know I need to work harder this semester as I feel like I wasn't prepared enough and basically done pants.

Next week will probably be mainly the same as I have university for 4 days next week :( 9AM starts kill me especially as I have to cross a busy bridge at peak time. However, my sister is visiting bringing my nephew up (woo excited to see him) and the exciting news is that I will be gaining a new niece/nephew in august, totes excited. The due date is the same day I'm due to be down in her hometown for a festival so if all goes to planned I will be having an amazing weekend.

Erm, so obviously this week I have done new posts mainly about products I've bought (HAULS) so you can have a nosy at them posts. New posts for the future that I'm planning on doing is a mini mini lush haul, everyday makeup, what's inside my bag and some reviews so they should be up within the next couple of weeks along with my weekly updates, which i'm amazed I have still managed to keep up with, haha (only on the second).

That's about all I have to say, so i'm going to stay up and wait for TOWIE to come on TV. If you have an ideas either about beauty products you posts or you want to know more about me or things about uni, leave you suggestions in the comments below or @ramblinhan All ideas will be helpful. Oh another thing I officially start my diet tomorrow and will be sticking to it, so I may do updates on this in the future.
love & peace & until next time, han x

more spending (tut,tut)

I ended up ordering myself a few bits from Superdrug the other day purely due to me seeing a review on the pearl drops beauty sleep overnight teeth whitening treatment (review here) and thinking must order this for myself (my thoughts on this product will come in the future). Not only did I buy this but I also bought a few other bits as Superdrug had free standard delivery when you spend £10.
1. Boring, but I firstly bought Gillette Venus Satin Care with a Touch of Olay sensitive shave gel. There was no particular reason for me being this but due to it being on offer at £1.73 (normal price is £3.49) making my order come to ten pound. If you are interested you click on the offer here
2. Pearl drops Beauty sleep was my main buy and I'm really looking forward to try this out properly, it has recently been in offer in Boots however due the delivery deal I bought it from Superdrug for £3.49
3. Last 5 things are all MUA nail varnishes costing me £1 each, bargain! I got these in the following colours (from left to right) Pistachio Ice Cream, Natural Days, Bold Blue, Lush Lilac and All Nude. A post will be coming soon about these so keep a look out and if you are interested click on this MUA Nail Varnish

That's everything I have bought this time but please leave your suggestions or links to any reviews of products you recommend I buy in the future in the comments below or let me know on twitter @ramblinhan See you soon in my MUA nail varnish review post!
love & peace and until next time, han x

Sanctuary

Okay, so I was browsing through my mum's products when she kindly handed me these two products from the sanctuary brightening facial in a box. In this box it contains a polishing hot cloth cleanser, radiance exfoliator, moisture boosting mask, brightening eye gel and illuminating moisture lotion, which they say is a 30 minute step by step pampering treatment to enhance your skin for a radiant glow. Sadly though I will only be able to mention about these two products (polishing hot cloth cleanser + moisture boosting mask). However, though I really like the concept of this box and that it actually contains a step by step guide to carry out the facial at home and can be bought for £16.50 from boots (here)

1. The polishing hot cloth cleanser, ' Moisturising beeswax and gold of pleasure oil help to condition the skin, while soothing camomile helps to leave your complexion glowing with the radiance of a spa facial'. Okay so my thoughts about this is that I will definitely use this product again. I love that this product has clear instructions on how you should use it by having an step by step guide on the products itself, big thumbs up. I love the polish, its nice to apply and doesn't have a strong scent so its not over baring, another thumbs up from me. Lastly, I love how my skin felt after using it, definitely felt smoother and cleaner (honestly can't think of a word to describe it). I will definitely be using this polishing cleanser again!
2. Moisture boosting mask, 'help revive the skin and renew the complexion. Organic shea butter and honey help nourish the skin, while organic rosehip seed oil is known to help skin restore itself . The calming arome of the lavendar essential relaxes the spirit, while the high levels of actives absorb into the skin to leave it feeling quenched and radiantly dewy'.  Its a clear mask which is easy to apply and doesn't get everywhere, again has a same scent as the cleanser so okay to bare with. I then left this on for ten minutes as advised, though it also says you could leave it on overnight for an extra moisture injection.After these ten minutes my face felt so much cleaner and smoother again.

These two products I will definitely use again, slight adore these right now! So I'm guessing that I would love the full box set, definitely like having a facial. Let me know in the comments below of any products that are similar that you recommend or tweet me @ramblinhan, see you soon!
love & peace and until next time, ciao x

latest buys...

Okay so the other day I tweeted that I was going shopping and I had the intention of buying Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo in Pomegranate however me being me didn't buy it in the end. Instead I left with hair products, concealor and a cleanser and toner, go me!

1. Garnier, Micellar Cleansing Water: 'Micellar cleansing water is an easy way to remove makeup, soothe and hydrate the face, eye area and lips, in 1 step without rinsing'. I spotted this in Boots and I needed a new cleanser so I thought why not get this. It cost me £4.99 I believe and so far (2 days) i'm liking it. If you would like me to say my thoughts about this in a future blog post leave a comment below.
2. Garnier, Comforting Toner: 'This toner is ideal as a daily way to soften, refresh and tone your skin to achieve a beautiful complexion.' Again this is a purchase from boots, I seem to have placed my Clarins toner somewhere in my house and literally cannot find it ( I really don't know how this happens) so I decided to buy this. This was currently on offer with Garnier products being 2 for £4 excluding the cleansing water, so I picked another one of these up for my sister as I think they retail for about £3 something on their own, so I didn't want to waste the offer.
3. Collection, Lasting Perfection concealer £3.99 from Superdrug. Literally ran out of mine the day I repurchased a new one, love this especially when I don't want to wear proper foundation for the day but want to hide my complexion in case of the unexpected visitor.
4. Umberto Giannini, Indulgent Beuty Moisture Mask, ' A deep treatment conditioner for dry, damaged hair that indulges the senses. So I've recently had my hair done (blog soon) and my hair dresser suggested that I make sure I properly condition my hair to keep it healthier, so my little sister picked me up one of these as a little gift mainly due to the offer of 2 for £8 on Umberto Giannini products in Boots.
5/6/7. Pro:voke Touch of silver range including brightening shampoo, maintenance shampoo and conditioner, my mum picked up these products after my hair dresser mentioned to her that I should have these in order to maintain the blonde she had put in my hair earlier on in the week. These can be found in many shops but if you are lucky enough to have a factory shop then you can get these for £2 each and is used to treat yellowing, fading and dullness.  

Thats everything I have this time n this post but coming soon will be what I got from Superdrug which will hopefully be up by the end of the week. If you have any suggestions for future buys leave a comment below or tweet me them @ramblinhan. So see you next time
love & peace and until next time, ciao x

weekly update #1

So I have decided that the best way for me to make sure I keep on top of my blog is to insure that I do at least one blog a week. From this I have come up with the idea of doing my weekly updates so that I can let you guys know what I have been up to. These updates will be put up on a Sunday evening about what I have done in the week from Monday to the evening the blog post goes up and may sometimes have pictures if I've done anything worth showing. So now i'll get started with week one.

So this week I haven't really done anything special, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I attended university and if you wish to know anything about that I recently did a blog post called university story.  As well as attending university on Tuesday I also had my hair done and there will be a post about this coming up very soon! Wednesday I had a night out with my university friends. Friday and Saturday I mainly focused on doing my blog and trying to improve it (please leave comments on how I can improve e.g. layout, picture format or content) and been reading a lot of posts which I have found through twitter. Lastly today aka Sunday I had a lovely meal with my sister at Nandos (mm) as well as a little bit of shopping which will be a post coming up in the future and then i came up and online shopped which again will be a future post.

Overall, this wasn't an exciting week for me, but like I said it will allow you guys to know what i'm getting up to as well as slightly get to know me. Let me know in the comments below whether you think this is a good idea for my blog or I should stop, I appreciate all comments. If you don't wish to comment you can always tweet me @ramblinhan and I'm thinking about either creating a new instagram or mentioning my personal one, let me know your thoughts. Thanks for reading!

love and peace and until next time, ciao x

newest clothing pieces

I have a tendency to not agree to go out until the last minute okay, 12 hours or so. To me this only ever means one thing... to buy a new outfit or to recycle an outfit? I tend to recycle as I don't like to part from money often. However there have been times when I have treated myself recently.

Before I ramble on about these clothing pieces, I would first like to apologize for these awful photographs of them. It was a last minute idea to do this blog post as I don't want to be losing touch with my blog, so I took some quick shots. Secondly, I would like to take pictures of me wearing my outfits but i'm not all that happy with my body shape at the moment, so I'm in the process of losing a little bit of weight.

So, I shall start with the pink textured box top with keyhole detail. I got this lovely top from New Look about 3 weeks ago now, so it's still in stock and can be found here for a bargain price of £12.99, I got mine with student discount bringing it to ten pound ish. They do this top in black and light blue which i'm currently tempted to purchase now. I must say I'm loving pieces New Look have in right now!

Next to the cobalt blue dress, is that the right shade? (The image to the right shows a true reflection of the colour.) Again is a textured piece with black zip detail, (kinda loving it at the moment) is from ASDA and costs £12 this for me was a complete impulse buy as I just loved the colour and was like I don't own many dresses why not!

  Again, i'm sorry for the picture quality, I would love to hear your opinions on how I should showcase future clothing.

university story...

So... my last post was in August 2013, so that's a good 7 months ish that I've not blogged for, boo me. However I can explain! In late September of 2013 I began university to study law with criminology. So I thought I would do a little bit of a personal post on my experience so far, so that you can get to know me a little better. 

Okay, so out of my group of friends I would say I was the least excited for the change from college to university (I would of happily stayed at college forever.. back then). This was due to me being totally shy, anxious and very nervous to leave my comfort zone and leave my friends. I think this goes back to when I first moved to my second secondary school after leaving my hometown. When I went to school I literally wouldn't speak to no one for like two weeks no joke. My best friend now even says that on my first day she had the most uncomfortable lunch ever due to me not speaking (sorry if you are reading this hehe). I had no clue why I ever felt these nervousness because its completely different to how I am when i'm comfortable with my friends. 

Back to my story all my friends had left to go to university and were having there freshers which only made me more anxious and I began to hate the idea of university even wondering whether it was for me. One particular issue I had was that I am living at home and that I wouldn't make any friends and be a loner in the back (basically scared of isolation). So these feelings carried on for a great while due to me posting on forums and on Facebook pages trying to find anyone on my course however no luck. 

Hallelujah, one day a person made a page for Law Freshers and I was extremely excited to finally meet people. From that day on I would check the page see if anyone was feeling the way I was or had similar questions. Now this is where I would make the recommendation to anyone to get involved in Facebook groups if you are scared or unsure of any similar feelings that I had because this may be a relief to you. From going on the freshers page I had the nerve to finally speak to two girls who were doing Law but by its self or with a different joint. By doing this I found out that I wasn't going to be the only person from my course living at home and I was so overjoyed to know that I wasn't the only one in this boat. 

So from speaking to these girls came the day to finally meet... now my nerves were extremely bad at this stage, my parents were away so I had to take the hull freshers event completely by myself, I had no choice but to man up and this was the day I feel my confidence changed. I had a lovely day with these girls and we bonded straight away making plans for freshers, discussing our thoughts and scares. To me that day was not the first day I met these girls, it felt that I had known them for life (extremely strange to me).

Freshers.. amazing! I recommend to any fresher to attend, enjoy it, meet people, have fun! Sadly, freshers ended and lectures began but hey ho a new friend came along to our little group and I admired her guts. She literally just walked over and was like hey, now probably at this time I was thinking god she's got balls wish I could do that, and if you are like this go for it ! totally recommend it! 

Boring lectures, ok only some. These happened for a couple of months, then came Christmas and next January exams! (Revise people you'll only kick yourself after if you are like me).  So this is the small paragraph that explains my absence.

What's my point, are you thinking? Well I wanted to share my experience and feelings with you guys about university because I don't feel like that there are aspects that are talked about and if anyone can relate to this post then I am happy. I want you guys to know that if you are feeling nervous and unsure then things can get better and my recommendations with you is try and to communicate to as many people as you can. Whether it would be face to face, through Facebook or forums or at open days, it can honestly help you knowing people are feeling like you are. I can honestly say from my experience of university so far I have made some true friends for life even though its been a few months and also from my experience I have found out about who are not my friends anymore (now if you are interested I would happily post about this). So please don't be worried and enjoy your journey... GOOD LUCK!

I hope this post hasn't been too boring and I'd love to read and reply to your opinions or questions in the comments below. Let me know what you feel could improve my blog or what you like to read from me whether personal blogs are any good. Also one last thing if you want to get in touch you can tweet me, @ramblinhan I will reply to this as soon as I can (I check daily, unlike my blog)

love and peace and until next time, ciao x
