New Look Purchases...

 Last week I purchased three new items from the Inspire range at New Look. Being a bigger girl myself hasn't always made it easy to buy clothes but there is so much more clothing out there now as everyone's range for the larger girl is expanding.  Luckily when I ordered they had a special offer on and I managed to get 20% off, I could have gone mad and bought a few more items as there was so much choice, maybe next month!

I chose the Hawaii vest, which is perfect for a summers day, flexible to wear with jeans or maybe a pair of shorts if the weather permits. The charcoal blazer is a smart staple piece, which can be dressed up or down. A light material with 3/4 length sleeves, perfect for the cooler summer days. The white  gypsy top is versatile, goes with any colour, a simple top I always need in my wardrobe.

Hawaii slogan vest £8.99
Charcoal waterfall blazer £24.99
White gypsy top £7.99

Montagne Jeunesse Masks

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masks
I usually buy these from Asda, there is normally some sort of offer on them and they have a wide variety of these masks. These masks were 75p each.
My favourites from this range of masks are the peel off ones, they are not as messy as the paste style ones, and i'm not going to lie...peeling them off is a weird guilty pleasure of mine. I think my ultimate favourite is the cucumber one, is supposedly helps to de-stress. It's lovely and cooling and helps to deep clean pores.

 

Give one a try, pamper yourself! x

Movies...

This week i've watched two brilliant films on Sky Movies,

Footloose (2011)
I didn't have high hopes for this film, mainly because it's simply a reboot of the original film. It's a very rare occasion if the reboot of a film is better than the original. In the case of this film, I think they've managed to do it pretty well, if it's not better then it's definetly on par with the original. A fantastic modern version of an old classic, well worth watching! It makes you want to get up and start dancing in front of the television!

Deja Vu
This is a film I had seen before but couldn't remember how it ended. It features Denzel Washington, who I think is a brilliant actor, I've always enjoyed films he has been in. He plays an agent who travels back in time to save a woman from being murdered. This film had me gripped throughout, a film definitely worth watching.

Crunchie Blast

This week my sister walked in with a box of Cadbury's Crunchie Blast ice creams. I'm not a fan of the Crunchie chocolate bars but I gave into temptation and decided to try one of these. Wow, it was so yummy, a honeycomb ice cream coated in Cadbury's milk chocolate and popping candy. Rather high in calories at 230 per stick, but absolutely worth it! So delicious and definitely will be buying these again.

Supermarket Clothing...



Over the last few years clothing in supermarkets to me has become so much more popular, and has firmly put it's footsteps into the world of fashion. Some of their clothing isn't always to my taste but then it's like that everywhere for everyone I would think. I'm always buying clothing from supermarkets, whether it's a top, shoes, PJ's or even a pair of jeans. All of the clothing is reaonably priced too. It always seems to be the way, if i'm wearing a more expensive top it's never commented on, yet if i'm wearing a top from a supermarket i'll get asked where my top is from. Shows you don't have to spend loads of money on clothes to look good! Here are a few of my latest purchases...

Both of the tops are from George at Asda,



Tribal Print Vest £8

Animal Print Cami Top £12

The shrug is from F&F True at Tesco, perfect to wear with those summery tops.


Black Shrug £10

Homemade Spicy Tomato Soup

Today I thought I'd share the recipe for a yummy soup I made recently, It doesn't look the most appetising but what soup does? It's a yummy tomato soup, but with a fiery kick.

Ingredients:
1 x Tbsp Olive oil
2 x Cans of chopped tin tomatoes
1 x Yellow pepper (diced)
3 x Carrots (diced)
1 x Onion (diced)
1 x tsp Tomato puree
1 x tsp Garlic puree
1 x tsp mild chilli powder
1 x Vegetable stock cube
Water
Season to taste

Heat the oil in the pan with the garlic puree, then add the carrots, onion and yellow pepper, cook for about 5 minutes. Once softened add the chilli powder, tomato puree, tin tomatoes and stock cube. Add salt/pepper if you wish. Add water depending on how thin you like your soup.

Blend the soup, and enjoy.
If you prefer your soup thinner add more water or put through a sieve.

Top Summer Scents

Today I thought I would tell you about my 3 top summer scents! Which in fact I love so much, I use them all year round!

Soap and Glory
This one is my most recent fragrance purchase, and what a brilliant purchase it was!
It contains one of my favourite scents, the scent that has made me somewhat addicted to the Soap & Glory range. It's just amazing, and at only £16.50 from Boots it's an absolute bargain.

Chloé, eau de parfum
This has to be one of my favourite fragrances ever, I wear it all year round but I would say it is more of a summery scent. With the main aroma being roses, it makes for a lovely feminine and floral scent. Bottle is starting to run out, will need to make sure I replace it soon, couldn't live without this lovely scent for too long!
£38.50 - £66.50

Lacoste - Touch of Pink, Eau de Toilette
This a a perfume which i've used for years, since my early teens and still love it to this day. As you can see from the bottle just like the Chloé it's running on empty and needs to be replenished very soon!
£39.99
