Zaatari Refugee Camp, Day 2 #YouTube4Syria

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

If any of you watch Lex on YouTube, then you'll already know about her trip to Syria. I think what she is doing is really important, and I wanted to share it with you all. She has 2 videos up at the moments where she explains what she is doing, and shows you some of the things that are being done to help the women and children of Syria.
I would really appreciate it if you shared this post with as many people as possible. If not the post at least the videos.


Day 1:

Day 2:

           

Thank you for watching these videos, and supporting the cause.

Have a beautiful day

August empties

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

Well it's September, which means summer is almost over. It's starting to get colder, and the nights are getting longer, and I have to say, I'm excited.

With a new month comes a new set of empty products to share with you all, so lets jump right in.

Avon foot file, Superdrug soothing foot lotion, Arran Aromatics frankincense and myrrh soap, Blistex intense moisturiser, Park Inn hair and body shampoo, Yankee candles in pink lady slipper and camomile tea, Asda mint flossers.

My Thoughts on each product:

Avon foot file: This is no longer available and I am so sad. I love this foot file so much, it really got rid of my dry, rough skin, without much effort. I would use this almost every single night before bed, and it really helped me to get soft feet.

Superdrug soothing foot lotion: As well as using my foot file, I would also slather my feet in this lotion, then put on some socks. I love this lotion, it does what it says on the tin, it is soothing and very hydrating. I would totally recommend this. I didn't repurchase it, simply because Avon sell a massaging one that I wanted to try, so look out for a review on that soon.

Arran Aromatics frankincense and myrrh soap: I love Arran Aromatics soaps, the only problem is that they are huge and very difficult to cut. They are hydrating and lather well, and I am disappointed I have used both bars up, because I got them for Christmas and don't know where to get them from (yes I could look online, and I don't know why I didn't think of that before (my brain doesn't like to work all the time))

Blistex intensive moisturiser: I love Blistex, I used this every morning and night after brushing my teeth. I like this tube better than the original one because it easier to control. I will repurchasing this for winter when my lips are very dry and painful.

Park inn hair and body shampoo: I took this from the Park inn hotel in Watford last year when I was there for the Harry Potter Studio tours, but didn't use it because I tend to save minis for traveling. However I have started going swimming twice a week, and it is much easier to carry minis in your bag than full sized products, so I used this. It's nothing to write home about, but it does the job of washing your hair. I highly recommend the hotel though, it was lovely, and not too expensive either.

Yankee candle in Pink Lady Slipper: I enjoyed this candle, I like spicy scents in candles, but this is much more flowerly than spicy. I like it because it smells summery, but I probably won't buy it again, simply because I much prefer spicy scents. Plus I don't really light candles in the summer.

Yankee candle in Camomile Tea: OMGG I LOVE THIS! I am so surprised that I like this in a candle, for the reasons stated above, but it smells amazing! It smells sweet, even when it's not lit and I love it. I want to go and buy a full size of this, like right now.

Asda mint flossers: I've decided I like mint floss. It tastes yummy and who doesn't want to use a tasty floss? The only problem is that my mouth waters more when I use mint floss than plain. Oh well at least my teeth are minty fresh ;D

Well that's all my empties from the past month, I hope you enjoyed this post.

TAG - My brother does my make-up

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

I know this is supposed to be Food Friday, but I am still trying to upload it. YouTube majorly sucks, I'm not even kidding. So instead I am sharing the video I uploaded last night (which took all afternoon to upload (I told you YouTube sucks)).

I hope you all enjoyed that, it was so much fun to film :)

I will (hopefully) share my Food Friday video with you all tomorrow, so please check back then.

Summer in the city 2013

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

Last weekend I was in London for the biggest YouTube convention in the UK, Summer in the city. I was there last year, when it was just a gathering (in a venue with 3,000 people), and it was amazing to see it to have grown so much. For it to be a convention this year, with 7,000 people (the same amount that was at VidCon last year!) and to be there to see it grow is amazing.

I made a video about it, and wanted to share it with you all. I hope you enjoy it.

A haul from last week

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

I went for a wander around town last week, I needed a couple of things, but ended buying a few extra things that I thought I would share with you all.

First I went to Primark and got:

These polka dot shoes with a bow in black, size 5 (I'm a size 3 normally) I wanted them in red too, but the size 5's were to small and they didn't have a 6, I found it strange that the 5 in black fit but not in the red. I also bought these 2 wash/beauty bags, 1 for swimming, because I go twice a week and want to keep my stuff ready at all times, and 1 for my bedside table to keep the things I use every night in. 

I also got this black skirt, which, when pulled up to my waist, hits mid-calf which I really like. I wanted to get a shirt to wear with it, but they were all very sheer in every store that I looked, and that's not what I'm looking for. I also got this black dress because I saw an outfit on Pinterest which I fell in love with and all I needed was the black dress to re-create it.

I then went to Superdrug and bought:

Garnier body body lotion in peach because this scent was on offer, the others weren't, Carex hand wash, because I needed some, L'Oreal skin perfection cleansing oil, L'Oreal skin perfection Micellar solution, and Anne French cleansing milk.

There I also got some things to keep in my wash bag for swimming; Superdrug spot lotion for sensitive skin, Aussies miracle moist shampoo, Aussies 3 minute treatment conditioner, Johnson's baby powder, Garnier invisible 48hr antiperspirant, and tea-tree oil. I also wanted their vitamin e eye cream but they were out of stock.

I then went to Waterstones and picked up a book light for reading at night, because I find having my lamp on keeps me awake, and I also bought the optimum nutrition bible by Patrick Holford because I am super interested in nutrition, and am doing an online nutrition course and wanted something for background reading

And last but not least, I bought 2 random things, from 2 different stores and they were:

The Vow, and earphones that clip over the ear, because I find regular ones don't stay in, which makes running and listening to music difficult. The DVD was from CEX and the earphones were from TKMAXX.

And that is all I bought. I find writing haul posts difficult. I never know how to make them interesting, so I hope you enjoyed this anyway. Let me know if you've bought anything recently.

July empties

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

Today I found out about #AwesomeAugust that Gemma Tomlinson is doing, and decided I wanted to join in, because I haven't been eating very well, or exercising often for a while, and feel horrible because of it. However because I only just found out about it, I didn't take a picture of my breakfast, or my lunch, so I thought I would share that I am doing this on here. Normally I will be updating on my Instagram but I just thought I would let you know about it.

Sorry that was a weird introduction to this post which has nothing to do with health; it is actually my empties from the past month, so lets get into it.

Johnson's gentle eye make-up remover; Avon Clearskn professional daily correcting lotion; Neutrogena visibly clear spot stress control 3-in-1 daily cleansing lotion; Nivea sun baby sun lotion; Time to unwind body lotion; Time to unwind shower creme; Superdrug enhanced healing blister plasters; Natural moods calming body spray; Dove beauty finish antiperspirant.

My thoughts on each product:

Johnson's gentle eye make-up remover - I love this, it is the best eye remover I have used and this is actually my second bottle. Like it says it is gentle, so it would be great for sensitive skin. What I love about this is that it is an oil and cleanser that you have to mix, I don't know about you, but I find that there is something very satisfying about mixing something. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a good, cheap eye make-up remover.

Avon Clearskin professional daily correcting lotion - This is the best moisturiser I have ever used. It is a "spot treatment with salicylic acid" and it really helped with my breakouts. Unfortunately it is no longer available on the Avon site, but I haven't had a chance to look in a catalogue (I don't have a representative) so it could still be available there. If you can suffer from acne, and you can find this, I completely recommend this.

Neutrogena visibly clear spot stress control 3-in-1 daily cleansing lotion - I bought this because my usual toner had been discontinued, and I thought this looked good. I have to say I really like it, so much so that I bought another bottle before I had finished this one just to make sure that I could get it. It's supposed to help oil control and I think it works, but I also wear a sunscreen during the day, and that kind of makes my skin oily, plus the weather here was amazing and very hot last month, so I was a bit more oily than usual.

Nivea sun baby sun lotion - This is a sun lotion, not much I can say about it really. It is for babies so it's great for sensitive skin. It's also factor 50+ so is very highly protective. I think it's great to go for sun lotions designed for babies/children as they have sensitive skin which means that the lotion will be much more protective than for an adult. You must use a sun lotion every day, even in winter, because the sun is very dangerous.

Time to Unwind body lotion and shower creme - I'm just going to put these together because I will just say the same thing about both. They are very hydrating and smell divine! The bottles say the top notes are orange and plum, middle notes of rose and saffron, and base notes of musk, vanilla and sandalwood. I have no idea what saffron or sandalwood are supposed to smell like, but I can definitely smell the vanilla, rose and orange. The combination is amazing. I have one problem with the body lotion. It is not a lotion, it is a body butter, which is much thicker than a lotion, and because of that it makes it so difficult to get out of the bottle, you really have to shake it and squeeze it really hard, but other than that, I love it. I also used up the candle that came with it, but I forgot to picture that as I am using the jar to hold my floss, but again it smells amazing.

Superdrug enhanced healing blister plasters - I have been suffering from a lot of blisters recently, and I don't know why, it could be the heat making my shoes rub, but it hasn't been nice. These are the best plasters I have used, they claim to protect the blister, promote healing and reduce pain, and trust me it is true to all of that. If you suffer blisters, I recommend checking these out the next time you're in Superdrug.

Natural moods calming body spray - I got this a few years ago for Christmas, but I don't use it very often so it's lasted me a really long time. It's supposed to be a body spray, but I use it as a pillow mist, on those nights where I want a really good nights sleep. It is really calming and I wake up feeling so refreshed afterwards. Like I said I don't use a pillow mist often, but I loved using this one when I needed a deep, refreshing sleep.

Dove beauty finish antiperspirant - I can't use Dove products, but for some reason I bought this and found my skin liked it. It actually hydrated my armpits, which was nice, and obviously helped me sweat less, which was brilliant during the heatwave.

Well that's it for my empties, what did you use up this month?

Don't forget to check my Instagram for #AwesomeAugust updates starting tomorrow.

Food Friday - Tofu pasta bake

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

As you could tell my original Food Friday's weren't working out. I kept forgetting to take the pictures of my food, meaning I wasn't able to post anything. So instead I have taken advice from a friend who suggested that I film a recipe instead, and that is what I did.

I made this last Monday and had no idea what I was making, all I knew is that I wanted tofu. So watch as I make something, and guess whether I liked it or not.

I hope you enjoyed this. Let me know if you make this, I want to create a hashtag for Instagram, but I'm not going to, just tag me in the post. My username is @Britishrandomness.

May empties

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

Can you believe it is July already? I thought it was July on Saturday, but even I can't believe that we are in the seventh month of the year!

Anyway, onto this months empties.

Boots expert dental disposable mint flossers; A sample of Nivea in shower body moisturiser; Clearasil ultra all in 1 wash and mask; A sample of No7 Beautifully Matte foundation; George big it up mascara; Skin system cosmetic cotton wool pads; Pampers sensitive baby wipes.

My thoughts:

Boots expert dental disposable mint flossers: I love these! When I first started using them it hurt my gums, and I bled quite a bit, but that was good, because it meant that I was really cleaning my teeth. As you may know, when your teeth bleed when brushing or flossing, it means that they haven't been cleaned properly (or you've got gum disease) so using this meant I knew my teeth were being cleaned thoroughly and I loved it. They did stop bleeding after a couple of days, if your gums keep bleeding, I recommend going to the dentist to find out what is happening there.

Nivea in shower body moisturiser: I liked this, and I think I might buy the full size of this. It smells kind of powdery and clean but I like that. It works, but because you have to spend more time in the shower and I'm always being told I spend too much time in the shower, I don't think I would use it very often, probably just on days where I'm not washing my hair, and I don't feel like using my body lotion (although that doesn't happen very often). I think this would be great for those of you who forget to moisturise after showering, because it is a great alternative.

Clearasil ultra all in 1 wash and mask: I love love love this face wash. I've been using it for about 2 years, and it definitely works for my skin! I've had less breakouts, my skin feels and looks so much better than it used to. I did find my skin to get dry during the winter, especially in the last year, but all I had to do was apply a hydrating moisturiser. I never used it as a mask, but I did leave it on for a couple of minutes whenever I do my at home facial, and did feel like it deeply cleansed my skin. Unfortunately I'm not sure this one is available any more, because when I went to buy a new bottle I found it had changed slightly, and I'm still trying to decide if I like it or not. I'll let you know when I decide.

No7 Beautifully matte foundation: I got this sample when I went to get my foundation matched (you know how they have that machine thing now? I went to try it out) just to see if I was getting it right, or if they could match my shade because I am really pale. I always get the lightest shade and I was right, this shade is Calico which is the lightest shade they have. Wow that was long winded, sorry about that. Anyway, I really like this foundation, it is medium/full coverage for normal/oily skin with up to 14 hours skin free, and a soft, even finish with SPF 15. I wouldn't say it stays shine free, but it does last. I had to do a presentation a few weeks ago, and my face always heats up, and melts my make-up off, but this lasted all day during that day, which was brilliant, so I now have the full size of this.

George big it up mascara: I got this a few Christmases ago in a make-up set, and it took me a while to get around to use it. I like it, but I find that most mascaras work well for me which is lucky for me ha-ha. It's cheap so I didn't expect much, and I didn't get much from it, but I'm not a huge mascara person so I don't know how to review this, so I'm gonna stop ha-ha.

Skin system cosmetic cotton wool pads: I mentioned this last month because it was a double pack. There's nothing really to say here, it's cotton pads, nothing more to say ha-ha.

Pampers sensitive baby wipes: I think I've mentioned this before but I use baby wipes to remove my make-up (I know this is bad, I'm looking for make-up remover I promise) and I like these, they smell good, they remove my make-up well. One negative is my skin feels really dry afterwards, but then I wash my face and it's all good.

Well that's all my empties for this month. I can't believe there isn't a candle, but I've hardly burnt any this past month, so I haven't finished one. But I plan on finishing up one tonight.

New series | Food Friday

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

This week I decided to start a new series on this blog, (mostly to help me stick to some sort of schedule) called Food Friday. I chose Friday for 2 reason, 1) for the allitteration, I mean it sounds cool, right? and 2) because Friday's are probably my most varied days diet wise.
If you follow me on Instagram (Username: BritishRandomness) then you'll know how much I love healthy eating, I am always Instagraming my food (which I will still be doing) but I wanted to share with you all my diet in a bit more detail.

For my breakfast I had the Tone It Up protein pancakes, but I didn't use the Perfect fit protein, because the shipping to the UK is ridiculously expensive, so instead I used a different one that I can't remember the name of. I will find out and edit this bit a bit later on.

The for my lunch I was hungry and almost forgot to take a picture (oops) Anyway I had a Sour and Chive New York bagel with a light cheese spread from Asda. This is the first time I have tried a bagel, and ohmyword, these are amazing! I also have the wholegrain ones too, and once I have tried them out I'll let you know what I think (most likely on Instagram)

A bit later on I got a bit hungry and wasn't sure when we would be having tea so I grabbed a pear and an apple. I ended up not eating the pear, because it wasn't ripe enough. You know the texture you get in your mouth after eating a still green banana? Well it was like that but 5x worse, I just couldn't finish it. But it was ok, because not long later my mum told me to start preparing my tea.

Every Friday we have pizza, but because I am all about clean healthy eating, I made the flourless pizza from blogilates, and then had 2 slices of garlic bread because everything is ok in moderation. I'm not someone who likes topping on their pizza, I mostly like the sauce, so there is almost half a jar of tomato and garlic pasta/pizza sauce on my pizza with a little bit of light mozzarella. I like this pizza, but the base definitely is not pizza tasting. You can't cut it into slices like you can with a normal pizza, it just doesn't stick and I have made this 3 times, having the same results each time. But if you slather it in toppings, then it's gorgeous. Actually I think it's gorgeous anyway, so I do recommend you try it out.

On a Friday we tend to watch a movie, so we have cookies, and some cake, and I also like to try out a healthy recipe for a cake I have found. This week I re-tried a recipe that I tried last week, but modified it. The recipe is the Beetroot chocolate fudge cake from the Cook Yourself Thin recipe book. I didn't like it with the beetroot so took that out this week, I also didn't add the coffee because my mum can't have coffee, or make the topping. I liked this, I do recommend you try it out. If you try it without any modifications let me know how you liked it? And if you did modify it, how, and how did it work out for you?

I  didn't eat anything else. Looking back on this it doesn't look like I ate much, but I just wasn't that hungry today, which is strange because I am always hungry. Maybe next week I'll have eaten more

What did you guys think of this post? Did you like it?  Do you think it's a worthwhile post? I always love getting feedback from you guys, because you are the ones reading these, so I want to make sure you like what you're reading.

P.S. This is supposed to be posted on a Friday night, but as I was writing it, my laptop switched itself off, and is kinda slow to load back up; so I am very sorry that this is late, hopefully  it won't happen again. I do have a post planned for today, so check back later for that. Also follow me on Bloglovin' to keep updated. This was a really long P.S., I'm sorry.

Kim's book corner - The Perks of being a Wallflower

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

Today I have a book review for you all. I have a feeling you will be getting reviews quite often for a while, as I am reading like crazy, and I actually have another review to film either tonight or tomorrow, which you will get on Friday.

May empties

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

First of all I just want to apologise for this being so late, I've had exams so obviously revision comes before blogging. But I am done now, so I am sharing my empties from May :)

Listerine stay white mouthwash, Garnier mineral fresh 48 hour deodorant, How to look good naked Eau De Toilette, Clearasil ultra overnight wash, Doublebase gel, Asda protect disposable flossers, Spiced vanilla soap by Arran Aromatics, Time to unwind body soak with extracts of orange, Skin system cosmetic cotton wool pads, Yankee candle in River Valley, Mamia baby wipes.

My thoughts on each product:

Listerine stay white mouthwash: I love this, I'm on my 4th bottle of this because it is so good. My teeth are brighter, and my breath feels so fresh. I can't recommend it.

Garnier mineral fresh 48 hour deodorant: This is alright, I'm not sure if it works for 48 hours, but it's a deodorant, it stops me sweating, what more can I say?

How to look good naked Eau De Toilette: I love this, it is very musky, which I think is perfect for night time, if you're going out dancing because it lasts and smells amazing.

Clearasil ultra overnight wash: I love this, I really wish this range hadn't been discontinued because it really worked for my skin, helping to keep the acne away.

Doublebase gel: I was prescribed this for my dry skin, because it gets ridiculously dry during the winter. I loved this, a little but goes such a long way. You don't need to get this, E45 works just as well, which I've bought to replace this.

Asda protect disposable flossers: I love to use disposable flossers, they are so much easier to use than the floss you have to cut to length. I am way into oral hygiene right now, and trying different floss, so there will be a new one next month.

Spiced vanilla soap: This is so amazing! It is such a huge bar, but it's really difficult to cut into usable sizes, but it lasts for so long, and is so moisturising. And not to mention how good it smells! 

Time to unwind body soak: This was bath salts, which I'm not really a fan of, but it does smell so good. It came in a set with body lotion, shower gel, and a candle, and I have to say that I adore them, they just smell so good.

Skin system cosmetic cotton pads: These are cotton pads, what more can I say. I use them to apply my toner and wash my face at night. Nothing more to say on that.

Yankee candle in River valley: This smells so fresh, and reminds me of natural, which it should, considering its name.

Mamia baby wipes: This is another essential, that doesn't really have much to say about. I use baby wipes to remove my make-up and/or sunscreen before washing my face.

That's all I have to say today. What products have you used up recently? Let me know in the comments below.

Kim's book corner - At first sight

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

Today I am sharing with you all a review on a book I finished a couple of weeks ago, but never got around to filming.

I hope you all enjoyed this. Also please ignore my horrible skin, for some reason it's being really dry right now, and I'm trying really hard to fix it by not wearing make-up.

Kim's book corner catch-up

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

Today I thought I would do a quick catch-up of my videos from my YouTube channel. And don't worry there aren't many.

The first one is The Supper Club
And the second is The Other Side of the Story.

I want to apologise for the fact that these videos are linked rather than embedded, for some reason Blogger won't recognise my YouTube channel. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

New Years Resolutions update | April 2013

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

Today I am going to give you a little update on my New Years Resolutions! So let's get started.

My resolutions:

1. Be healthier. 
2. Be more eco-friendly. 
3. Take more pictures. 
4. Get a job, then move out of my parents house. 
5. Organise my time better. 

How I'm getting on:

1. I am getting so good at this! I workout almost everyday, except when I'm feeling sick or I'm super busy, and I eat a pretty clean diet, with the odd treat every few days or so. I love eating healthy now so sometimes I don't even need the treat, and I've always loved to exercise so this hasn't really been a problem for me. My problem was definitely the food, but I'm improving so much on this! :D
2. I'm trying I really am, it's just difficult when you live with a family that don't really care. I'm thinking of starting to grow my own fruits and vegetables, but I'm trying to workout how best to do it, whether in a window box, or a mini greenhouse. I'll work it out and let you all know.
3. I'm trying so hard to do this, but it's not working so well. I get self-concious taking pictures, but maybe this month I can stop that, or at least work on it.
4. I'm applying for jobs, but to no avail right now. I have exams over the next couple of weeks, so job applying is taking a slight back seat but I'm hoping to get one by September at the latest. Not so sure about the moving out bit though
5. I feel like I have a routine pretty much down for this. I get up early to  workout, either running or pilates, then I'll do some uni work for a couple of hours, then shower and do anything else that I have to do that day. Obviously it doesn't always work like that, because I am only human after all, but that's what I try to do anyway.

That is it. I'm improving slowly. I think it's important to remember that it's okay to slip up sometimes, it doesn't mean you've failed, just take it one day at a time.

April empties

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

So me blogging everyday didn't quite happen, did it? I'm so sorry about that, the days just seemed to get away from me, and I forgot to blog. But this month I am going to try my hardest to stick to a scheduale of blogging every Monday, Wednesday, and either Friday or Saturday, and I'm even going to write out a few posts today so they are ready for you all.
This post is late because I've been having major internet issues, particularly with the blog, so I am very sorry about that.

But today, I want to share with you all my empties of the month.

Neutrogena blackhead removing toner, tealights, Yankee candle in wild passion fruit, Blistex, and Vanilla milk body lotion.

My thoughts on each product:
Neutrogena blackhead removing toner: This is amazing! I think I've mentioned this before in an empties post, so I won't go into too much detail. I have gone through about 5 or 6 bottles of this now, and it really has helped with my blackheads and pimples. However I think it may be getting discontinued because it is getting increasingly more difficult to find in stores, so I'm trying the spot control one right now, and you'll get a review on that when I finish it up.
Tealights: What can I say? They are tealights, nothing special about them, they aren't scented but they burn for hours!
Yankee candle in Wild Passion Fruit: OhMyWord this smells amazing! It's kind of spicy and sharp and boy is it amazing! I think I'll have to buy the full size of this because I love it!
Blistex: Blistex it Blistex really, rather bland but really helps to heal chapped lips. I've been suffering chapped lips a lot throughout this past winter, and have found that this is great at healing and preventing them. I use it morning and night right after brushing my teeth. It may be bland but it most definitely works
Vanilla milk body lotion by Sugar Pop: This smells divine! I love vanilla scents on my body and this is perfect. It lingers all day, I couldn't stop smelling my arm when I was wearing it. So amazing!

That's it for this month. Again I am terribly sorry that this is so late. I'm going to try and write a few more posts tonight for you all.

Have a beautiful day

my pamper night

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

I tried posting this last night, but for some reason my internet wasn't working. But anyway today I want to share with you all my idea of the perfect pamper night.

Firsts things first, I always light a candle, scented candles are just so relaxing, so I do this most nights, but think it's perfect to do on pamper nights especially.

I then pour a bath, and whilst it is,filling up, I remove any nail polish. I do this before my bath because I can then just soak my hands in the bath and push my cuticles back when I get out.

Once I've done that I soak in the bath with whatever book I'm reading. I also shave my legs in the bath and have a good exfoliation.

Don't forget to apply your lotion, you don't want your skin to dry out. The one I'm currently using is Vanilla Milk from the Sugar Pop set I got for Christmas.

I then give myself a pedicure. I use a pumice stone before soaking, then rest my feet in warm water for 15_20 minutes. Whilst doing that I like to apply my base coat on my fingernails, giving it plenty of time to dry. after drying my feet thoroughly I apply a thick later of foot cream and my fuzzy socks.

I then give myself a facial, which I have an entire post on here.

Whilst my face mask is on I paint my nails the colour I'm wearing is London, which was limited edition.

After all of that I snuggle up in bed and either watch a movie or read my book.

And that's it, that is my pamper night routine. What do you do on your pamper nights? Let me know.

Have a beautiful day
