University Life

I haven't wrote a post in a few weeks and even though I've only started my blog last month I have really missed it. I've not been away through choice its just a very exciting time of my life has begun. I have finally packed my bags and moved into my halls of residence in London city. 

Moving can be a very big deal for anyone, especially when you have moving out of you family home for the first time to live alone. But moving 3 hours away from anyone I know has proven to be an extremely emotional roller coaster. Whilst I am having an amazing time and meeting lots of new people and basically starting my life its also very stressful and overwhelming. So I'm not going to dwell on how much I'm missing back home to much, my main reason of this post was for one to update you on what I'm doing, and to, to give you guys a few ways to make your student room feel a bit more homely, if you are planning on going to university in the coming years. 

So first of, the rooms will be small whatever university you go to! So its important to not take to much stuff as you don't want to clutter your room up as soon as you get there. I just took all my main things I needed clothes, make-up, jewellery, my camera etc. But everything else I left because I knew if I needed to I could get them next time I visit home. Now I took quite a few little bits and bobs to make my room feel more like my own, although its not perfect at the moment there are a few more bits I want to get from home, I  am loving it right now and to be honest it really does help me when I'm having a bit of a down day. So heres some pictures to give you some examples.

Lush, Lush, Lush

'Breath of fresh air' Toner water


I’ve always been a huge fan of lush, since the store opened in my town. One thing I don't like is how all of the staff seems to jump on you asking questions as soon as you walk in the door, some people find that helpful but I find it extremely awkward and it makes me want to run for the hills. However recently I decided I'd give them a chance. After explaining to a very helpful woman that I’d been having a lot of trouble with my face recently she recommended I tried their ‘Breath of fresh air toner water.’


The spray has a distinct smell of the seaside, it’s not a strong smell, which is handy when it’s something you’re likely to be using everyday. All you need do is spray the water over your face then just leave it to dry, another way to apply, is to just spray on cotton wool and massage into the face. I personally like to just keep it in my bag as its a small bottle, and then throughout the day if my face feels a bit dull then I give it a little spray and it makes me feel so much more awake and fresh.  I can definitely feel the difference in the way my face feels and looks, one negative comment I would have, is I wish they sold bigger bottles of it.
