Also

Tenacious D for Download Festival?!
Oh yes.  I'm there.

Brrr It's Cold!

Look what I got! Yay!
Favourite Tracks:
Meltdown
Sssnakepit
Search Party
Arguing With Thermometers

....Which are the first tracks of the album.  It all goes downhill from there.  Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here and Pack of Thieves aren't too bad I guess.  Not my favourite Enter Shikari album though.

This has been me all day:


I'm surprised there aren't icicles hanging off the ceiling, it's that cold in here.  I'm fully clothed.  And wearing a cardigan.  With my dressing gown on top.  With my awesome slippers that I love.  And odd socks.


Mmmmmm physics exam tomorrow.

Papercuts and Wine

Owch.  I have papercuts all over my fingers from what I was doing at work today.  I hate my weekend job. But if I didn't have a job I would probably be sat naked in a cardboard box right now.

So lonely.  I'm at home all alone tonight, my housemates seem to have mysteriously vanished.  So I'm sat in my dressing gown, drinking a glass or two of wine and watching Take Me Out.  What a night.  Living life on the edge.  That's me.
This weekend sucks.

I went shopping yesterday, oops.  But I bought a lovely top.



Sleeveless Tulip Back Top.  £19.99.  New Look >>

I really like how the red flowers contrast against the darker navy background.  I think that's what caught my eye about this top.  I haven't quite yet decided what I'm going to wear it with though.





I also bought this:

Summer Crepe Blazer in Navy.  £24.99.  New Look.
I really liked this jacket.  But then my boyfriend said it made me look like a teacher.  And now he's making me doubt it.  But I don't care.  I'm going to wear it anyway.  Teacher or not!









Panic.  So, so tired.  So tired that even simple words don't make sense anymore.  Had hardly any sleep last night.  Have to work tomorrow.  Have tons of revision to do.  Haven't revised today.  AH.  Exams on Monday and Tuesday.  STRESS.

Goodnight.  M x

How Rubbish!

I've been looking at loads of other blogs and they all look so great compared to mine.  Mine looks crap!  I don't know what it is about it, maybe the layout, but it looks rubbish!  Maybe I still need to get the hang of this thing.

One Year, A Whole Twelve Months


Not too long ago I bought some new shower gels, probably because they were on offer.  And I absolutely love them!

Lemon and Tea Tree
This is the first one I tried.  It smells so lovely and lemony, but it's not too overpowering, it also smells slightly sweet.  I thought it was great...










Vanilla and Raspberry
...But then I tried this one today.  This one smelt so good I wanted to eat it!  It slightly reminded me of raspberry yoghurt.  Yum, it was nice!  And now my skin smells lovely!











I was very bad today.  I spent £80 on the Topshop website.  That added to the £90 I spent on ASOS last week means I am left with hardly any money!  Plus I am going shopping tomorrow.  Oh dear.

Recent Buys:


<< ASOS Cami With Button and Ruffle Front in Nude/Black






Vila Check Shorts in Coconut Brown (from ASOS)  >>







<< ASOS Mini Dress 2 in 1 with Chain Print





River Island Belted Tunic in Gold (from ASOS) >>








What I'm Up To Tonight
My boyfriend and I have been together exactly one year today.  Let's all reach for the vodka and wine!  So we're going out tonight for food and then to the cinema.  I really want to wear some of my new clothes.  Maybe the shorts with the top, but the shorts are a bit big.  I might have to exchange them for a smaller size (YAY!).  Hmm we'll see...

And Still We Will Be Here, Standing Like Statues

There are two albums that I can't wait to listen to.

One
Enter Shikari
A Flash Flood Of Colour
Due for Release: 16 January 2012


Being one of my favourite bands, I get excited whenever there is anything new with Enter Shikari.  After recently hearing their new record, Arguing With Thermometers, I suddenly got mega excited about this album.  Now the decision is, to pre-order or not?  It's only 5 days away...



Two
Lostprophets
Weapons
Due for Release: 2 April 2012
The first play of their newest song, Better Off Dead, was aired last Friday on BBC Radio One.  As well as Enter Shikari, the other band I love is Lostprophets. So I set my alarm at 8:30 last Friday morning to listen to their new song.  My first impression?  I was not impressed.  I am a mad Lostprophets fan.  But I didn't quite know what to make of this new song.  Was it rapping?  Talking over music?  I'm not quite sure.  By the end of the song I was feeling a bit better about it.  Maybe it will be one of those songs I will grow to like over time?  I haven't listened to the song since, and don't plan to until April when the album comes out.  And I will sit and listen to the album all the way through without an interruption.  I am very excited to see how the new song, Better Off Dead, fits in with the album, and their new sound (that they have maybe taken on??).

After my rambling about Lostprophets, if you're interested in listening to their new song then head over to here.

Revision, Revision, Revision

In a weeks time my exams will be over! I cannot wait!  But until then it's lots and lots of studying for me!

There are so many things I want to buy at the moment but I have so little money!  I guess I will have to buy the essentials first.  The essentials being Clinique's Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam and Clarifying Lotion.

Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam


I love this stuff!  I use it everyday without fail.  Usually twice a day:  in the morning, and just after I've taken my make-up off at night.  It is as it says, it's a foam and it removes all excess make-up which is left on my skin.  After using this foam my skin is left feeling lovely and soft, smooth, fresh and clean.  It's great!















Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion

After using the foam wash and my face is dry, I use the clarifying lotion.  I also use this twice a day and the bottle lasts me around 4 to 5 months, as does the foam.  With some of the lotion on a cotton wall ball I sweep it over my face and neck.  After use my face feels completely oil free and very clean.









I'm so tired I'm starting to see double.  It's 22:06.  Is it too early to go to bed yet?
