Note to self...never forget your car keys!

So last week I went to London to meet my university friend Hannah. After spending a lovely evening scoffing pizza and the following day exploring the wonderful Camden market buying lots of bargains I decided to head back to Guildford. 

So I walked the 30 minute walk to the hospital where I had left my car parked for the couple of days when I noticed that I couldn't hear the jingle of the bell that's attached to my car keys. I rummaged through the mounds of crap that's in my bag and realised I had left my car keys in London!! 

At 9pm I couldn't exactly go trawling back to London as I had work the next day at 7am! So the whole weekend I spent squatting at various friends houses! Now I'm one of these people that takes about 10 pairs of underwear with me when I go to stay at people's houses. I always get funny looks about this but you just never know what is going to happen!! I finally proved my point! 

So two days later I had arranged for Hannah to meet another friend of mine as he was in London so it was all set 1.30 at Waterloo station burger king. She was very excited that I set her up on this little blind date!...So all was going well until I got a text from Hannah saying I'm at Victoria station Burger King and he is at Waterloo Burger King!! There's a reason that girl is blonde! If you want to read about Hannah s little adventure then go to her blog (Loveletters and Snippets). 

So on my homeless weekend I would like to thank my dear friends for dealing with my stressful situation and making sure I didn't sleep on Guildford High Street! 

I would also like to share with you a recent purchase of mine which I got in London with Hannah. He is called Piles the Panda, because he is a Panda (obviously) and he makes me smile! So I hope he makes you smile too! :D

M.A.C Cosmetics- ''gotta have it!''

BONJOUR

So I have figured I'm pretty pants at this blogging malarky! I have quite frankly been uber busy,with nursing and trying to fit my social life in I struggle to find the time to blog! But on this dull spring morning I am for once not covered in bodily fluids at work and am lying in bed with not much to do! 

I have just watched this weeks 90210! I absolutely love this programme! I think the story lines are realistic and enticing and the fashion is always sexy! The only thing I dislike is how skinny and pretty they all are! Its like a world full of pretty people and all the ugly people have been banished!! 


So whilst I have been away I have done a incy bit of shopping! I managed to spend a whopping £80 in MAC the other day! But I feel this is easily accomplished considering all of their products range between £10-£25. But it is just sooo irresistible and lasts forever!! One of the prioducts I'm loving at the moment is from their new collection VERA. 

MAC VERA Pearlmatte face powder
''Embossed with her signature ladybug motif, this powder could only be  M∙A∙C Vera. Three shades in both pearl and matte finishes. Effortless to blend, provides a dynamic highlight for face or eyes. Limited edition.''



I love this Product, you can't really see it very well in this picture but it has 3 sections, the outside section works as a highlighter. The shop assistant said you can either mix them all together or use the middle sections as a blusher and with a smaller brush or your finger use the highlight to accentuate you cheek bones. It works really nicely and Is a great summer must have!

Another purchase from MAC was a Lipcolour from the SHOP M.A.C collection. I love wearing lip glosses, colour, sticks, balms and I couldn't resist buying a new lipcolour when I saw this Light Pink one which I thought would compliment the new blusher I had just purchased. It is called M.A.C Kissable Lipcolour, it is a non sticky Lip colour so its not a gloss but its not as thick as a lipstick. It sometimes needs to be smoothed with your finger or lip brush as can look a bit smeary but with some gloss over the top it looks amaze! 

''Delicious...flows on with the slick ease of a gloss. Has a look as creamy and pigment-rich as a lipstick. Shop  M∙A∙C's fun packaging sets the style - and seals the deal!  Limited edition! ''



I also brought a new top from river island. It is a monochrome black and white long line vest. It looks great with a pair of leggings, jeans or a high waisted body con skirt. I love the geometric shapes and it goes really well with a grey and black geometric blazer I brought also from river island. 


Right I need to stop being lazy today and head to the gym! I will try update you all soon! 

Muchos Love
