Do you think we'll be in love forever?

Hello everyone, apologies for the absence in blogging, but here's a post! Yesterday my sister visited me in Liverpool for the day, and I had a lovely time with her. We crammed a lot into the day I must admit! Went for coffee, shopping, went for a walk on the docks and to the Tate - oh and Nando's! Naturally. It was lovely to see her, and here are a few pictures from the day:











I really enjoyed the free exhibitions at the Tate, especially the one curated by Carol Ann Duffy, one of my favourite poets (see a snippet of her work above).

twenty-two: sunday nothings #5.



♥; Such a busy week I've had! Lectures started again, it was great to get back into the routine of messing around with my coursemates. Practicals start this week, so it'll be even busier!

♥; I've reorganised my Uni room and loving it atm. Feels much more "me" :) I posted about it earlier in the week.

♥; Everyone's been blogging or tweeting about snow, but sadly in Liverpool all we've had is ice and slush! It was so icy yesterday, we were slipping around town!

twenty one - tea & interiors.

Typing this at silly-o-clock as I can't sleep! It's been my first proper week back at University this week, busy busy. Nice busy though, was lovely to see all my coursemates again. Today we had a GIS lecture (geographical information systems to you and me!) which was horrendously boring as per usual. Me and my oceans coursemates passed the time reading the paper and doing sudoku ;) After this I went to my friend's flat for a brew and a natter, before going back to my own room for tea!

I bought some lovely new posters today from the union, they were very cheap so why not eh? Anything to brighten up my dismally decorated halls room...


Ok so the first photo isn't my room, this is a purchase I made on a whim whilst wandering round tesco the other day. Peppermint tea is apparently very good for you, so I thought why not. It's got a lovely flavour :)


Here is the first of my new poster purchases - a Breakfast at Tiffany's one, no less! It's huge, nearly as tall as me!



This poster has been up since freshers, I love it. Moved it on to my wardrobe (note my gingerbread man tin full of sweets!)


My favourite purchase of the day - for £3.50, a MASSIVE antique world map poster. And I mean massive! The sheet of paper to the right of it is A4, to put it into perspective...


I've moved all my pictures of the nearest and dearest on to my front wall, along with all my magazine clippings/bits and bobs to the right.

What do you think then, do you like it? :) How do you spruce up your uni rooms if you live in halls?

twenty - sunday nothings #4.


♥; Currently at home having a nice, relaxing weekend away from Liverpool. Sometimes it gets too much for me and it's lovely to be able to come back home.

♥; Lectures start again this week, it feels like ages since Christmas now. Excited to get stuck in. I'm taking modules in Environmental Chemistry, Ocean Chemistry, Dynamic Landscapes and Processes in Physical Geography.

♥; Really want to start saving up for my tattoo... wishful thinking on a loan that doesn't stretch and no job!

nineteen - i need your help ladies!


Hello there. Now, I have what is the bane of every girl's life (well ok, not every girl's!) - dry patches on my skin. Exasterbated in the winter months due to excessive heating and cooling, I'm sick of it! I currently use a bog standard Johnson's moisturiser, which is good for nightly use but just doesn't cut it for longevity. As you know I'm a jobless student, so with my very small bank balance I was wondering if anyone knows of any decent daily moisturisers? I dislike ones that leave my skin shiny, and I hope the moisturiser will sink in quickly but still leave my skin feeling supple.

Any suggestions are welcome, I'd be extremely grateful!

PS if you haven't seen already, I've applied to appear in next month's Company magazine (along with other bloggers Jess and Martha), if you wouldn't mind could you 'like' any of my images here? Thankyou :)
