I wanted to show you guys what I got in my April Glossybox. This is my first Glossybox and my first beauty box so I was pretty excited. It came gorgeously packaged in a pink box and the contents were wrapped in paper and tied with a bow. Being my first box I didn't know it would come like this but it definitely added to the surprise and plays a big part in why I'm continuing with the subscription.

Now let's get on to what I got. In this months Glossy Box I received, an Emite lip brush, a Monu Spa massage and body oil, a Me Me Me pink highlighter, a TRESemme dry shampoo and a Vichy advanced filler.I would never normally pick up any of these products, but that's the whole point of buying a surprise beauty box.

I'm probably most excited about the highlighter as I've been meaning to buy one for a while but never got around to it And the dry shampoo, believe me that little beauty is going to get A LOT of use! In all honesty I'm probably going to donate the filler to my mom as I'm sure she will be more grateful of it then me, and I've never used a massage oil before but I'm looking forward to having a relaxing bath with this one.

Over all I'm pretty happy with what I received this month, and although I would have liked it to have been more make up related, I'm going to be trying out products I've never used before and that was the idea really!

I'm going to be reviewing all of these products over the next few weeks so keep a lookout!

Have you ever tried a beauty box subscription before?

APRIL GLOSSYBOX

A few days ago me and my family took a little trip down to Bognor Regis. We all had a few days off and wanted to escape Brum for a bit. Like the children we are, we booked a 2 night stay at Butlins. I hadn't been to Butlins since I was about 7 but it was still as good as I remember!

The second day was much more fun than the first. We spent the whole of the second day in beautiful Brighton. Brighton was where I really wanted to go and we had such a nice day going on the pier and looking around the shops. We also got to have a quick look at the gorgeous Brighton Pavillion, although we never had time to go inside. I think I'd like to come back and see the Pavillion again in the future properly.

The third day we spent in Butlins and around Bognor Regis. We mooched around a few of the shops and spent our remaining pennies in the arcade before packing up and heading home to Birmingham.

I had such a good time and I can't wait to go back to Brighton again in the future for another look around!

What are you favourite things to do in Brighton?

BRIGHTON & BOGNOR REGIS

So as you may know, me and Sean ran away to Disneyland for a few days. This was my 3rd time there but Seans 1st so I wanted to make it really special. We went on all the best rides, ate at my favorite places, and acted like 4 year olds, it was amazing. 

On the first day we really only had time to grab dinner and have a look around the Disney Village before heading back for a well deserved sleep.

We did all the big rides on the second day, spending most of our time on Tower of Terror, which is my favorite. At 5 we settled down with a yummy hot chocolate and a muffin to watch the daily parade. After the park closed we had a quick dash back to the hotel to make ourselves pretty for the Dreams show and dinner at Planet Hollywood. The show was amazing. It really topped off a fantastic day and I was kind of sad we only got to see it once.

By the third day our lack of sleep because of the long journey down had really caught up with us and we spent a lot of time on the smaller rides and watching the shows. We decided to skip the parade this time and spent our last hour on our favorite rides. At the end of the third day it was time to prepare ourselves for an uncomfortable 12 hour journey home to Brum.

We had such a good time and I would 100% recommend a holiday there, even if you think you're a bit too old ;)

DISNEYLAND PARIS 2014

Liebster award logo

I've been nominated for the Liebster award by Bryony over at thebeautymagpie.com. I've seen this on a few blogs now and I'm happy to give it a go so thank you for the nomination! 




So here are the questions:



1. Where is your favorite place in the world? 

This is a tough one. I've been to so many beautiful places and its really hard to pick one, but if there's one place I could never get bored of its got to be Cornwall.

2. What beauty product could you not live without?

I need mascara. I have the smallest eyes ever and I will literally not leave the house without it. Vain I know.

3. What's a guilty pleasure of yours?

It has to be spending money. I love shopping. I love buying all sorts of everything, but my bank account definitely hates me for it.

4. What inspired you to start blogging?

I've always loved reading and looking at other peoples blogs and although I wouldn't say there was one particular person who inspired it I just thought it would be a nice thing to do.

5. Where do you see yourself in five years time?

Hopefully traveling the world with my camera and my Seany.

6. What is your favourite brand of makeup?

I buy all brands of makeup but number 7 is probably the one I buy the most.

7. Describe yourself in three words...

indecisive, impulsive, fortunate

8. What's your favourite film of all time and why?

Wow this is hard. It would probably have to be Marie Antoinette. The mixture of fabulous costumes, an amazing soundtrack and Kirsten Dunst just makes this film so perfect.

9. Handbags or shoes?

It has to be handbags. I have too many bags...

10. What is it about blogging that you enjoy the most?

I don't know, I just love capturing my life and sharing all the fun things I do.

11. Name one thing you feel really passionate about...

There's not a lot that makes my happier than traveling. I can't think of anything better than waking up in a new country and exploring. It makes me so sad to think there's places I will never see, but I am trying my best to go where I can.



Well that's all my questions answered! Now here's who I want to nominate:

nowthatspretty, abeautifuldelight, soinspo, styleandsushi, jdaisygauntlett


And here are your 11 questions:

1. Do you have a lucky number? why?

2. What's your biggest fear?

3. Where did your blog name come from?

4. What would be your perfect holiday?

5. What makes you happiest?

6. What's your favorite animal?

7. If you could only keep one piece of clothing what would you choose?

8. Do you believe in Ghosts? 

9. What is your favorite season and why?

10. What is your favorite place to shop?

11. If you could go back and change one mistake you made, what would it be and why?
