''All I had was blonde hair and a body men liked. The reason I got ahead is that I was lucky and met the right men.''- Marilyn Monroe

Now Lush is a brand I always used to think was overpriced and just a bit of a marketing scheme. However one of my friends swore by there products so I thought I'd give some of them a go. 

Now I've got blonde highlighted hair and have recently been using the Tigi Dumb Blonde shampoo and conditioner. I love the smell of these however I used to always feel as if my hair was greasy afterwards once dried. maybe it's just not right for my hair. 

So there I was in the Lush store trying to overcome and not pass out by the empowering smell of the shop, when the shop assistant came over to me and showed me this product called Marilyn. 


It costs £8.50 a pot and mainly contains chamomile, lemon, saffron and linseed. Its a pre wash treatment and I tend to keep it on about 30 mins- one hour before washing it out!


Now this product will make you feel like Marilyn no joke! It smells so yummy, the texture and feel of your hair afterwards is delicious and leaves its so soft and silky. It is great as a once a week treatment or when you have got a special occasion coming up. 

I can now say that I have a lot more Lush products in my beauty box!

Love Bakey and Marilyn ;) xx

Shopping, Shopping oh and more shopping!

Now I am completely and utterly addicted to shopping when it came to doing my Christmas shopping I ended up spending £300 all for myself and not on one present..OOPS! Every time I go home mum always mentions something about how Mr Jack Wills seems to have all my money! I do not know what she is on about! :-p

As much as I love Jack the NHS salary quite frankly won't allow my whole wardrobe be his clothes! My fashion sense tends to vary from a day to day basis. I like to mix it up a bit. Maybe when my camera skills improve I'll give you a sneak peak into my wardrobe! :D

One of my most recent purchases and quite random was these awesome pair of DC's high tops. I love them, I feel as though I have gone back 6 years to my skater days! They were in the Schuh sale for £39.99 and I couldn't resist buying them!



Another recent purchase was this blouse, Its from Urban Outfitters and cost £45.  It can be easily dressed up or dressed down. I have worn it on a night out with a black skirt and heels or like the model in the photo with shorts tights and my new DCs!

Lots of love

So here I am...

So here I am... my names Becky aka Bakey! I have recently finished university studying to be an adult nurse and somehow after 3 loooong years of much hard work, studying and of course lots partying, I have finally qualified and somehow bagged myself a job! 

This however meant there was no returning home to mamma and pappa! I am now striving to survive in the big bad world all on my own! It's not all bad though, luckily for me some of my friends haven't graduated yet so I'm now the old, graduated, wannabe student who is literally clinging on to any inch of student life I can!

Now i'm quite new with this blogging thing so you might have to bare with me and my camera skills!

So I've created this blog to firstly keep me busy on my days off when i'm not nursing or living my double life as a student and two to hopefully share with you my love of fashion, shopping, partying, anything sweet and yummy or just something inspirational...

Please follow me if you like what you see! 

Love Bakey xx
