Recent Purchases

Hi everyone!
I had a day off college today so I decided to go on a little Spring shopping spree with Kieran :)
I wanted to buy some new Soap&Glory products as soon as I found out that we're having our bathroom re-done. I bought the 'calm one, calm all' bubble bath, the 'sugar crush' body wash and 'sugar crush' body scrub.
There is no such thing as a good shopping trip if I don't bring at least one DVD home!!!
I also picked up some facial cleansing wipes from Primark. Two packets for £1!! I also grabbed an Alberto Balsam hair conditioner for £1 to try out. It smells really fresh and fruity, almost like a smoothie.
Everyone who knows me, knows that I am the best bargain finder. I love Primark's t-shirt bras as they are very comfy and only £2.50! They come in many colours and patterns, this time I picked up a minty one as I am obsessed with this colour at the moment.
As the Holiday Season is arriving I thought I'd look at some bikinis, because I will have to start buying clothes for Zante soon!!! This tie dye effect bikini caught my attention straight away. At whopping £4 I could not resist the urge to buy this product. I thought it will look nice with my skin tone and hair colour, and what's not to love about a huge bargain like this one?
I always have to make a trip down to River Island for some jewellery. I usually buy earrings, and today I decided to go for these. I've wanted to buy them for a while now, but they were always out of stock!!
Lots of love,

Lush Favourites

Hi guys!
So, I have recently had my bathroom redone, so I decided to get some Lush products. I got the limited edition Snow Cake soap, which is made especially for Christmas. I found it in one of my cupboards untouched so decided to finally start using it! I also got the Think Pink bath bomb, purely because it's pink and smells nice! 
This is what Think Pink looks like when put in hot water. It started fizzing and turned the water pink.
To my surprise, I found that Think Pink has lots of mini love hearts inside it, so I was bathing in the most romantic way. I recommend this to all the single gyals out there, or maybe even couples? ;)
Lots of Love,

April Wishlist

Hello lovelies!
Today I wanted to share with you guys a cute little wishlist (I love having money) which includes a few things that I will be definitely purchasing this Spring!
I'm going on a girly holiday to Zante this year and need to start doing my holiday shopping! On my wishlist there are a few things including those three gorgeous swimming costumes.
The bandage black and pink monokini is sooo gorgeous and would look fab on a tanned and toned body! (My goal is to tone up and lose half a stone). Pink is my favourite colour so at least one of my bikinis is going to be pink! 
Then there is the aztec print swimming costume. O M G. It's beautiful and it would complement my curvy figure and make my stomach dissappear! Aztec prints are still very hot this season!
Talking about hot prints, that are so oh-wow right now, I have also chose this high waisted 50s inspired lips print bikini! It's so pink and girly, just what I like! I have never owned a high waisted bikini so this one would be perfect especially as I really love the print too!
My other wishlist is full of perfume. I love perfume. I would really want to get Alien by Thierry Mugler first as I have wanted to buy it for a while now but it's so pricy it would make me bankrupt :(
I love spicy and heavy perfume so I also picked out the Gossip Girl fragrance which is oriental spicy with a hint of vanilla and sandalwood. Perfect for Winter evenings.
Lola by Marc Jacobs has always been one of my favourite scents and it suits every season, especially Spring and Summer. 
Cinema by Yves Saint Laurent is such a sweet fragrance, it smells like a baby born doll! I only discovered it recently as my friend has it, and oh my do I love this scent!!!
Lots of love,

Summer is coming!!!

Hi guys!
We can actually feel Summer arriving. It's getting warmer day by day, which means that we can show off a bit of our bodies now hehe! ;)
Personally, I prefer not to expose myself too much as my skin should only be on display for myself and my other half. Also, my daddy doesn't like me wearing skimpy clothes!!
I have recently gone out on a Starbucks date with my auntie and had a lovely catch up! I haven't seen her since November, so thought it would be nice to go out. The fact that she's the same age as me is even better :) We had so much to talk about!! I experienced the weirdest thing that day. Some random foreign exchange student started hitting on me! I have never been hit on in public before! I thought it was the strangest thing ever haha! It must have been Kate looking extra grown up that day ;)
I ordered a Mango and Passion Fruit Iced drink because I was out of breath and the weather was so warm! Kate ordered a camomile tea, which was also quite nice and refreshing.
I will definitely be taking Kieran out on a little Starbucks date as he's never had one before!! Shocker!!!!
I wanted to get my nails done at a salon for a long time now, but it's so expensive and I'm saving up so I had to hold back with splashing on getting French tip acrylics and opted for my own French mani! I used my Nailene set and that's the outcome:
Lots of love,

What I'm reading at the moment

Hello everyone!
In today's post I wanted to talk about my new favourite book which I'm also reading at the moment - The fault in our stars by John Green. I started reading it not long ago and I must say that I can't put it down, but have to due to college work overload.
This book is about a 16, soon to be a 17 year old girl who has lung cancer and meets a 17 year old boy with an amputated leg. It's a proper teenage love story and I don't want to give anything away in case you're all lined up to read this bad boy!
The fault in our stars will change everyone's lives and their perspective on life and love. The film for this book is coming out this Summer, so I will definitely be going down to Cineworld on the release date!!!
Sorry that this post is very brief, but I have been so busy lately that I have barely any time to blog :(
Lots of love,
Maya xo
