BEAUTY: GARNIER MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER

Yes, I know I am late to the party with this one, but that doesn't mean I can't join in. Everyone has been hyping about the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for, what feels like, forever now and so I thought maybe it was time that I tried it.

I am one of those people who is always trying out new skin products, only to return back to my trusty face wipes. 

I am also one of those people who, when waiting in the line at Boots to pay, will get sucked in by the deals and pick up ten products that I wasn't planning on getting. In one of those dangerous queues, I saw a travel size Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and decided to buy it and give it a try.

Let's just say, the face wipes are now not used and the big mummy bottle has been bought.

Now, I'm not going to go into technicals about this product: mainly because I don't know them and also I just wanted to do this post to say what I personally like about it. 

To start with, the travel size lasted me about three months which, for a £1.99 125ml bottle, isn't bad going. Another thing about this product, is that it literally removes all make up. Sometimes you can get these face washes that claim to remove make up but then you find yourself three days down the line with mascara still sticking your eyelashes together. Since the hype of this water, Garnier have also released a Micellar Water for oily skin, a "pure" one and a natural one for sensitive skin.

However, the best thing about this product is that it doesn't sting my eyes! I think I must have the most sensitive eyes in the world when it comes to anything going in them and that is the main reason I have always gone back to my trusty face wipes. But this Micellar Water is literally like.....water! 

Overall, I never thought I would see the day where I leave my face wipes behind and be the cleansing water type person. Thanks Garnier!

FASHION: GLASTONBURY GOALS

Yes, I was one of the lucky ones that managed to bag myself a ticket to Glastonbury Festival 2016 (well, my Dad did - thanks pops)! Not to make anyone jealous, but it was an amazing weekend and now, three weeks on, I still have severe Glastonbury Blues!

Anyone that has been to Glastonbury before will understand when I say it is completely different to any other festival. It is the size of a small city, has everything you could ever want, from a meditation area to a gigantic mechanical spider to hundreds of amazing performances.

However, as well as all of this, the fashion amongst the 100,000 attendees is also incredible and so I got my blogger head on and snapped up some inspo. It was quite hard to go up to random people who had been drinking since sunrise and get a photo so I have included my looks from the weekend also.

My staples were denim shorts, a sexy waterproof jacket and my trusty black Hunter wellies.

Amongst the standard festival attire (glitter, gems, wellies and waterproof jackets), sparkle co-ords, David Bowie tribute tees and lycra onesies were amongst the favourite pieces chosen.

(Apologies as most of these were taken on my phone....)

LIFESTYLE: THE MORE FUN THINGS IN LIFE

Calling all stressed third year students! Whilst sitting in the library slaving away at your 10,000 word report, don't you think back to the days where you went round to your grandparent's house and sat colouring in pictures for hours? Well I sure do! There was a special drawer at my Gran and Grandad's house that was filled with colouring books (obviously me and my sister had separate ones) and countless colouring pencils. How times change....or so I thought!

Recently, a craze has developed consisting of 'adult' colouring books. Now, when I first heard the term 'adult colouring books' something very interesting came to mind - something that I did not want to take part in! However, I came home one day and my mum had kindly bought me one of these books, along with a whole new pack of pencils. 

Now, if you don't own one of these colouring books, GO AND BUY ONE. I was under strict instructions to only do it when trying to relax - not instead of my dissertation. But my god do they relax you.

I think I spent about two hours colouring in the picture below and I just got completely lost in it. Who would have thought a 21 year old could still enjoy the simple pleasure of colouring within the lines?!

So turn off the TV (or maybe have it on in the background - I still need my daily dose) and get scribbling! You'll thank me later!
