Victoria Secret Body Sprays... 'Summer in a Bottle'


Hello Everybody hope you are all having a great summer so far and creating beautiful memories that will stay with you forever:) 
Back in February I went over to London to visit a friend who moved over there for college. 
I had been in London once before with my mam when I was younger but couldn't really remember it so I appreciated it more this time. 
One thing I was really excited about (after seeing my friend of course lol) was going to the 'Victoria Secret' store! I smelt their body sprays before and thought they were just gorgeous and couldn't wait to buy one of my own! 
My favorite kind of perfumes are sweet and fresh ones which was perfect as Victoria Secret body sprays come in so many fruity and delicious scents! 
I'm not joking when I say I spent an hour in the shop trying to pick out what one to get. Safe to say when I left I smelt like a bottle of the body spray myself chocking anyone who was walking behind me.

After much deliberation I decided to buy this cute little set...


Instead of getting one I got 5 mini ones! 
The size of these bottles are perfect for popping in your bag on a night out, going to work or while doing a bit of shopping:)

My favorite one is 'Coconut Passion'. It like summer in a bottle and never fails to put me in a good mood! 



Here's a little snap of myself and Hazel in front of Buckingham Palace acting like typical tourists. LOL.

The Magic of Quotes on a Rainy Day.

Happy Tuesday everyone. Hope you all had a relaxing and fun Bank Holiday Weekend doing whatever brings you joy:) I had my head in the books unfortunately, but only four more exams left and i'm a free women! 

A habit I've gotten into into recently is looking up a #DailyQuote on my morning bus journey into college. It is incredible how a nice thought at the beginning of the day can set up your mood and outlook for the day.
These are a few of my favourite quotes that get me pumped up for the day ahead and will hopefully get you over the 'dreaded Tuesday' after a bank holiday. LOL!

'Wake up everyday with the thought something amazing is going to happen!'

'Everyday has the potential to be the best day of your life, so why not today?'

Instead of thinking about all the things you don't want to do today such as going to work, going to school, sitting an exam... think of the people you will meet, the memories you could make, the laugh you will have and the experiences you will share with the people around you. Today could be the day you meet the love of your life! Anything is possible:)

'Today you are you that is truer then true, there is no one on earth that is youer then you.'- Dr.Suess
Dr.Suess quotes are just amazing and so full of wisdom. Why worry when you are your absolute perfect self!? No one else can do a better job of being you then you so stop comparing your life to others. 



'Start everyday with a grateful heart' 
We all have something to be grateful for no matter how small! It can be as simple as having shoes on our feet or actually having feet to get us to the places we want to go in life :) When we focus on what we already have and not the things we want the world seems like a brighter, better place. If we stay focused on what we don't have we will never be happy as we are always looking for more but in reality everything we need to be happy is already in our life.


'You are what you do, not what you say you'll do'

'Always find a reason to laugh. It may not add years to your life but it'll add life to your years' 

Life is too short to be taken serious all the time so loosen up, do what makes you happy and don't worry or stress about the little things. Everything always works out in the end. We are here once so why waste it worrying. 
I'll finish with one final quote that sums it all up...

'Y.O.L.O'

WetNWild Brunch!

Well hello lovely people, hope you are having a fun week so far! 


I am really enjoying writing and creating designs for my blog and it's getting exciting. I went to my first ever bloggers event last Saturday held in the Morgan Hotel on Fleet Street. It was to discuss and try out the products 'WetNWid' have to offer their new fabulous Irish customers. 
They're an American Cosmetic brand which just launched in Ireland this year starting off in Dunnes Stores and working their way into Pennys ( started from the bottom now we here! lol). I had such a great time meeting fellow bloggers and chatting about all the wonderful products in front of us. 

Obviously as a proud nail varnish addict my eyes went straight to the ginormous bottles of nail varnishes! Seriously guys they look the exact same as 'Sally Hansen' nail varnishes but wayyyyyy less expensive. All of their nail varnishes are under the €3 mark so you definitely get your moneys worth:) 


The colours I've tried out so far include 'I Red A Good Book' and 'Wet Cement'. They're part of the 'WetNWild megalast' nail varnishes.

I really like 'Wet Cement' as it's simple and looks great with a bit of tan. 


'I Red A Good Book'- Such a witty name lol. There is just something about having red nails that makes you feel so powerful and ready to take on the world! 


The best things I thought about them are:
  1. The brush is big enough to fit your entire nail so one swoop is enough to cover it all in whatever your favourite colour may be;)This makes that sticky mess when you are going over and over one nail to cover it all a thing of the past.
  2. It drys in literally 10 seconds. So no more waiting around to apply another coat!
  3. Its long lasting which means it wont start to chip for a few days .
  4. Also the finish on them is so shiny which means a clear top coat isn't necessary to get that shine! (I didn't use one on mine)
  5. The size of the bottle! I think I will have these for a pretty long time. 'This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship'-Casablanca LOL

I am definitely going to buy some new colours from this range, because as a student you're always trying to save them dollaaa billzzz;) 

Have a great weekend everyone, its almost here!! #wooo
 Xoxo
