My week as a student ambassador

Hi guys.

Once again I am very sorry for the lack of posts recently.  I have just lost the blogging motivation right now.  However, I have been a bit busy in the last 10 days.

I may have mentioned this before but I am currently a student ambassador for my university and I have done a lot of cool things because of it.  I have been on so many open days and applicant visit days.  I have been seeing and meeting a lot of potential students for my degree and as a current student, they have been learning what the university is like and most importantly what the degree is like.  These last 10 days however, have been different.

A few weeks ago, I received an email asking me to help out in the student union to put together welcome packs which are to be sent off to new students.  I have decided to take pictures and show you my week as a student ambassador. 

It has been such a fun 10 days and I am kind of sad that it is over but onto the next adventure as a student ambassador.  Freshers week is coming up and a lot of opportunities to have fun as well as help out.  

How has your summer gone this year?  Have you had any good adventures?

Bye for now.

It's been a while

Hi guys.

Just a small post today.  I am so sorry that I have been AWOL on this blog for months.  Uni was manic and I had a resubmit to do ( All is good and I passed!)  Work has also been manic although that has calmed down a bit.  Honestly I have been a bit underwhelmed with blogging and decided to take a break.  I am going to try and post more...how often, I don't know.  

I also moved at the beginning of this month so that was a bit of a time sucker.  I am slowly getting used to my new place and loving it.  My friend who is also on my degree has moved into the same building and is living just across from me although she is at work most of the time.  

I am trying to decide what to do for my first post but ideas aren't coming.  Any ideas would be helpful.  I will post a room tour but for now it isn't how I want it as I need to get some items...that will be a post in the future.  

How is everyone doing?  I have missed blogging.

Bye for now.

Soap & Glory: It's the Whole She-Bang Gift Set

Hi Guys.

Sorry it has taken me a while to get this blog post out but it has been one stressful time at university.  I have had deadlines for uni work and all my life has been dedicated to that...plus work.  I have a few posts in mind for the coming month, maybe into February as well.  

To kick the first blog post of 2016 off, I am going to show you a gift I received at Christmas...well I got this at New Year as I went home over this period but it was a Christmas Present from my family.  

The first day I went home, I was presented with a giant present and once opened, I realised that I had received Soap & Glory's It's the Whole She-Bang gift set.  Now before I go into what is in this glorious  gift set, I would like to point out that I have never used any Soap & Glory products (through fault of my own)  It is not because I didn't want to try this brand, I just didn't know which one to try first.  

I had seen many post of this gift set throughout the blogosphere, and fell in love as this is the perfect way for Soap and Glory novices like me who want to try the brand out but are overwhelmed by the number of products they have. 

The gift set comes with 9 items from their brand and costs £60 but at the time of sale, this price was £30 at Boots   (On finding the link for this gift set on Boots.com, I found that they are selling this at £18 in the sale, however, this is unavailable on-line and after searching through a few main cities in the UK, only a select few stores still carry this)  

So what is in this beautiful gift set?  Well, upon opening this, I found a wide selection of goodies to try out.

  

The first three items I pulled out were, Clean on Me, The Righteous Butter and Peaches and Clean.  

Clean on me is a beautifully smelling body wash which lathers up like a dream.  I have used this a few times and I love the scent and wish I had tried this earlier.  I cannot put my finger on what the scent is but it is very sweet smelling, almost marshmallow like.  

The Righteous Butter is a thick body butter which smells fresh and clean with a scent of citrus.  I have yet to try this but I am looking forward to trying this and will update you all on this when I have tried this.

Peaches and Clean is the only skincare product that is used on the face.  This smells like heaven.  The scent of this is fruity yet minty.  I think this is the best smelling of the line and I will have to see if they have this scent in a body wash or body lotion.  Again, I have yet to try this but I cannot wait to try this.  

The next four items that I pulled out are Hand Food, Heel Genius Foot Cream, Thick & Fast High Definition Mascara and Sexy Mother Pucker Lipgloss.

Hand Food say it is a hydrating hand cream which is a thick cream that smells dreamy.  I detect 

a fruity smell almost like strawberries and cream.  I currently have a hand cream that I am using but I am looking for a small size for my handbag and I am thinking of purchasing the smaller size soon.

Heel Genius Foot Cream is a very sweet scented cream and by the looks of it, very nourishing, thick cream.  I am not one for foot creams or foot care but I am looking forward to trying this cream.

Thick & Fast High Definition Mascara.  I tried this mascara the other day and I love it.  I don't think it does exactly what it says, but it separates my lashes amazingly and it is so black which is what I love in a mascara.  I think I have found my favourite mascara for the time being.

Sexy Mother Pucker in Rose & Shine is a very nice rose colour.  I am not one for lip glosses but I may have to see how this looks layered over my new MAC Lipstick (This will be featured in my haul post)

The final two items are The Scrub of your Life and The Righteous Butter Sun kissed Tint Body Lotion.

The Scrub of your Life is fresh smelling, scrub with little pink beads.  I have tried body scrubs and nothing has caught my eye to being the best in my eyes so I am excited to try this.  The scent is bergamot and mandarin, rose, jasmine, peach, strawberry, oak-moss and amber.  Once again, I am plagued by the scent of jasmine (which indirectly I am drawn to)  

The righteous Butter Sun Kissed Body Lotion is a tinted body lotion.  This lotion smells divine.  I think this smells like chocolate but I could be wrong.  All I know is this smells amazing.  I am yet to use this as I am a bit weary of tanning products as I am not used to using them but I think in time, I will love this product.

All these products, come in a very pop art zipped carry case which is beautiful and I will use this time and time again.  I am so happy to have received this  at Christmas.  And I am hoping that one of these products will become a permanent fixture in my life.

What is your favourite Soap & Glory product?  Any other recommendations?

Bye for now.

Merry Christmas

Hi guys.

I would like to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas and a happy new year.  As 2015 is about to close, I would like to thank everyone who has stuck by this blog this year as I haven't been as active as I would like to have been and I am hopefully going to be more active in 2016.  

2015 has been a year of ups and downs and as I am well into my second year of university, the work load has been more intense as well as juggling 2 part time jobs and being Student Rep on my degree.  I am going to try and get at least one post out a week to begin with and see where I go from there.

I am going back to my hometown this Wednesday so I won't have any time to do any posts.  I will try and get my first post out in the second week of January and I will announce it on Twitter and Instagram so make sure you are following me on them.  I am also on Bloglovin so follow me on there to get updates of blogposts.

I hope to see you all next year so have a great new year and be safe.

Bye for now.
