meek~n~mild: November 2009

I'm just going to be happy.

Sunday, 29 November 2009

In the last couple of weeks it has become a little bit hard living as a Student.

My flatmates are getting on my nerves. The work load is becoming increasingly unbearable. I've also become very conscious in what i'm spending my money on, as there is soo little of it at the moment.

I'm missing my family so much. I'm missing my personal bank (Dad), my mum's Sunday cooking, my little brother's noise and my other two siblings bickering (I never thought i would!).

In my silent moments when I think about it all, it really gets me down.

But then I come to the realisation that I don't have it all bad and I remember to thank God regardless.

I know that He loves me and has a purpose for my life, and all these experiences are being used to form my character and future.

It may get hard sometimes, but when I really think about it, I just remember to be happy and to trust God.

"Whosoever trusteth in the Lord, happy is he." ~ Proverbs 16:20

So i'm going to do just that!

Fashion Look - My Boyfriend Blazer.

I woke up this morning with an idea of the outfit I wanted to rock, already in my head.

Does anyone ever get that??

I knew I wanted to wear my bf blazer.

Blazers are really trending now and what I love about them is the way you can switch them up to suit any occasion.

During the day it could be worn with leggings/jeans and a tank (like what i've done today) for a trip to the mall or to the cinema with some friends or alternatively at night over a lovely dress (Post of that soon come!) to a party.

It has become quite chilly so I opted for my black booties that I got from Primark last year.

I kept the accesories simple (chain headband and dangly earings) because I wanted my bold red lip (Rimmel's Rose Passion) to do the talking!

...and here's the video.

Skin & Hair Update (Basic Stuff!). :)

Friday, 27 November 2009

Hey my lovelies.
I hope everyone is having a superb evening! I know i am.
I'm just catching up on this weeks T.V. thanks to On Demand. :D

Anyhoo, i've recieved a lot of messages, comments and tweets requesting me to do a skin and hair update, so i decided to do it.

~Skin~

For my skin, i've stuck to using the brand Simple and my trusted Panoxyl acne gel. Some days I do my mini facials or exfoliate...all depends on how i feel.

Products:
Simple Facial wash, Toner and Moisturiser + Panoxyl acne gel.

~Hair~

As for my hair, i've been doing most things myself, but i've left chemical treatments and cutting/trimming to my stylist in London! :)

Products:

Dove Shampoo, KeraCare Humecto Condtioner, KeraCare Silken Seal (serum) and ORS Olive Oil moisturiser.

Here's me babbling on about all of it!

Beauty in a brush.

Tuesday, 17 November 2009

I found these lovely photographs (by Ana Guerrero) while aimlessly searching the web.

They are beautiful aren't they?

I love Brushes. I have quite a few brushes and I love it when they are clean. Call me weird but sometimes I don't want them to get dirty.

I love what she's done with this one.
