I am carrying my cold heart home

This will be my last Tuesday in Birmingham as on Saturday Adam's dad will be driving us the 135 miles to Swansea, which is where we both go to uni. As much as I can't wait to see all my flatmates and as much as I've missed the beautiful beach and having it so close, I'm not really looking forward to going back. I'll miss my family and how easy it is living at home and having everything done for me (I know that sounds super lazy but it's going to take more than 8 months of living away from home to break an 18 year routine). I always feel like this though when the day I go back to uni is looming but as soon as I'm back in Swansea I feel at home and, while I obviously still miss my parents, I relish my independence and love being back with the amazing girls I share my flat with. Right now, at this precise moment in time though, I'm hoping this week goes as slow as possible so that it'll seem like I've spent a lot longer at home then I actually have.

What I am completely looking forward to however is getting my student loan and finally having some money in the bank! Not that it will be there very long as I've already got a list as long as my arm of things I need to spend it on. First and foremost is something me and my boyfriend have been planning a while so, fingers crossed, we'll be able to get that sorted when we've both got some money (I'm not going to mention what it is yet as I don't want to jinx it), then I have to get my beloved camera fixed, it's been out of action since December and I'm missing being able to take photo's :( (having it back will also mean I no longer have to take pictures for my blog on my webcam so I'll be able to take photo's of products and finally get some posts up that I've been planning for ages!) and then, of course, I want to treat myself to some new skin and haircare products and clothes. I know I shouldn't spend my money before I actually have it but I've been planning on buying these things on my list for so so long I'm so excited to actually be able to get them and throw the thing away haha! However, I must remember to save enough money for food and nights out this time as I do not want a repeat of last term when I had to ask my dad to put money into my account because I couldn't afford toilet roll (one of my '20 things to do before I'm 20' is to get better with money and I think that little anecdote explains why I need to haha!).

I'm not doing much during my last week in Birmingham. I have an essay to do for next week and all of my friends have gone back to either college or uni so I'll just be spending time with my family, my boyfriend and his family and Microsoft Word.

Does anyone have any exciting plans for this week? Does anyone else spend their money before they've got it (bad habit haha)? 

Dry your eyes mate

If any of you read my Project Perfect post you'd know that I said my skin was something about me that I liked. Well, that is no longer the case! It's recently gotten so dry and flaky (ewww) and my eyes are just awful.. taking eye make up off is a right pain because they are so sensitive and dry! The dryness is only around my T - zone though, the rest of my face is lovely and smooth and neither dry nor oily, I don't understand where/why it's come from all of a sudden :(

I'm really in need of a decent moisturiser for dry skin and one for the eyes and if any of you know any that you could recommend to me I'd really, really appreciate it! Similarly, if you have or know of any posts/YouTube videos that explain good routines to combat dry skin I'd really love to watch or read them and I'd love to try any of your suggestions.. anything to help my skin back to it's former glory :)

Thank you!

It's enough to make Kings and vagabonds believe the very best

On Saturday I went to my cousins wedding. It was a really lovely day, the bride looked beautiful and they were so cute together, you could really see how much they loved each other.

There first dance was to the song 'Can you feel the love tonight?'. Before then I'd never really listened to the lyrics or thought it a very good song, to me it was just famous as the song from Lion King. But, listening to it closely and watching the two newly weds dancing their first dance to it, it struck me just how romantic a song it is and how beautiful the lyrics are. Especially the line that is the title of this post 'it's enough to make Kings and vagabonds believe the very best'. I don't know how much the numerous vodka and oj's I'd consumed added to this, but I was getting really emotional haha. I'm a proper old, soppy romantic and I love weddings so much. You could actually call me obsessed (which my boyfriend does) but I just think it is such a beautiful and magic thing and of all the weddings I've been to in my 19 years, I could really see on their faces that it was the happiest day of their life!

I would put pictures of the actual day up with people that aren't me in them, but I'm not sure whether they'd want their photos being up on the Internet and as no one knows about this blog I can't ask them so here's some of mine and my sisters outfits :)

I'm so in love with my dress it's unreal haha. It's such a gorgeous colour and a lovely spring design with a lace top and lace cut out band just underneath the boob area. It's also ridiculously flattering, honestly I have never looked at myself in the mirror whilst wearing a summer dress and felt so thin! It was £36 which considering it's from Topshop I don't think is too bad as you can get plain t - shirts from there for £20, and it comes in loads of beautiful pastel colours! If this is your kind of dress then I'd definitely recommend popping in your local Topshop and picking one up! I'm searching for every opportunity to wear mine haha.

Dress, Socks: Topshop

had to blur out my face and legs on Instagram as they wasn't looking at their best haha so don't worry, it's not your eyes but I think it's a good photo to show off the dress

My sister's dress is from Asos

I planned what I was going to wear when the whether was amazing but unfortunately on Saturday (and ever day since boo :() it was cold and cloudy so I had to add thisgorgeous blazer from Forever21 (not that you can see it at all clearly in this picture, but it's the only one in which I'm wearing it, sorry!)

P.S ignore my face.

My sister just got an iPhone so of course, we had to test out the camera and Instagram haha ;)

Does any one else feel the same about weddings? Is anyone going to any soon and if you are what are you wearing?
