Books of 2018, #3: A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

Hi everyone! I am slightly behind on my reading schedule of a book per month. A lot of the books I have are actually quite bulky or read slowly and with university studies and work, and the hectic week before Easter, March was almost completely devoid of reading. I'd been making my way through the…

[Chatter] Another lipstick I’ve fallen back in love with – Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Matte 111 Kiss of Life

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, I attempted some photos in the sporadic Golden Hour lighting to showcase the items but the weather was not playing nice! One moment it was sunny and I managed one photo before it vanished again and I would tweet a complaint and it would be sunny and so on...…

My Current TBR Pile, as of March 2018

When I first sat down to write this I was thinking that this would end up being a very long post. This was because it seemed like my TBR pile had finally reached the heights of my G-Dragon poster. Then I realised that I could split the pile somewhat. I tend to leave my current…

[Chatter] A Quiet Evening

Twenty Thoughts from A Twenty Swanna (i.e. it’s my Birthday.)

Hi everyone! It will be my twentieth birthday as this post rolls out. I can't quite believe that I've survived two decades of life so I'm kind of chuffed. Did I do anything particularly special? Er... no. My regular outing with Tray has had to be moved due to uni things and on top of…

[Makeup and Chatter] Lunch at The Botanist

I don't know about you, but I'm really enjoying this unintentional 'Makeup and Chatter' series. I get to talk about a good day with nice memories at a place I haven't been to before, as well as share a makeup look. Oftentimes posts with only the former don't do so well but I really do enjoy…

[Chatter] Re: Exams

Hi everyone! If you're doing A-Level mocks or modular university exams, then exam weeks are upon us and I wish you all luck! Some of you have probably even finished now so I hope they all went well. My own exams start just as this post goes up and end on Friday. Exams have never…

Cafe Visits: Javalounge

Aside from all those good resolutions for the sake of being a better person (more on that later this month), one of them is to visit more cafes. Especially local ones that can't really be found anywhere else. It seems a bit pricier than my usual Tesco's £3 meal deal (that I'll never give up,…
