Hello you beauties!

I must admit this to you, but I never really thought about what I actually want for Christmas this year and, to be honest, I haven't actually asked for anything this Christmas. I will admit, that is probably because anything that I might possibly want is too expensive to consider asking for it from friends/family (I never want anyone to spend too much money on me) or it is the sort of thing that I would love to own but would probably never use because of how much it costs and then realistically it would be a waste of money. But if I could ask for absolutely anything for Christmas, regardless of the cost, from my loved ones, then here is my short wish list.

1. A Morphe eyeshadow palette
I have a feeling this may have been on my list last year, or may have been on one (or multiple ones) of my lust lists that I sometimes do, so if you've read my blog before then you may know that I have been wanting a Morphe eyeshadow palette for so long. Who wouldn't want one!? The shade range seems so great and I've heard that the pigmentation of the eyeshadows is amazing.

2. Calvin Klein underwear
Okay, this probably sounds a little weird but recently I have really been wanting some Calvin Klein underwear. A few years ago I used to see all over social media that everyone (well, it seemed like everyone anyway) owned some of this underwear and also back then I thought it was really expensive (which I suppose it is for underwear but it is branded after all). But now I just really want to own some myself - they just look so good and so comfortable! It's a really weird request, but I really wouldn't mind if someone bought me some Calvin Klein underwear for Christmas.

3. Spectrum makeup brushes
As a beauty lover, I will admit that I probably own more makeup brushes than I actually need. But that doesn't stop me from wanting more. And the Spectrum brushes (again, some that I have been wanting for a very long time) are probably some of the most beautiful brushes I have ever seen. I have noticed that they have started to sell a few of these individually in Boots at a reasonable price (priced between £5 and £20 for one singular brush) so I could easily buy them for myself but there would be nothing more satisfying than opening a special set of these on Christmas morning.

4. Harry Potter wand makeup brushes
Yes, there are even more brushes that I want, but these ones are probably some that I wouldn't use but just want to own because they're so great to look at. I am genuinely in love with the Harry Potter wand brushes - they're just so magical (excuse the pun)! If anyone was to buy these for me this Christmas I swear I will love them forever.

5. Mermaid blanket
I am a 20 year old seriously wanting a mermaid blanket this Christmas! I don't know if you have all seen them (but obviously I will include a picture) but I found these mermaid blankets in New Look a few months ago - probably around August time - and immediately wanted one. They come in a pink or a blue-ish teal colour and personally I would go for the blue. They're around £20 each so I've never really felt the need to buy one for myself (as I've never really had the money to be able to spend £20 on one item) but I have been dropping hints at my boyfriend ever since I first saw them.

6. Mini cactus
Okay, so this item may be just as weird as the request for expensive underwear. I always feel like a room needs a plant to make it complete and at uni (when I was in Brighton and then when I move to London next year) having a plant in your room makes everything feel cosy. But I'm just not the sort of person who can look after plants very well. I did buy myself a fake lavender plant to take with me when I moved to Brighton but I genuinely would love to have a little cactus in my room, especially in London. A real plant that takes very little looking after.

So this list was a little bit longer than I originally thought it would be but this would genuinely be the full length of the list of things I would love to receive for Christmas this year. Obviously any gift I receive will be appreciated and loved but these are the only 6 items I would specifically ask for.

What is on your Christmas wish list this year? Is any of it the same as mine?

I'll be back next week with another post for you all.
Byeeee!

Hello you beauties!

Before we start, I need to let you all know that this will be my final review for this subscription box. I love this subscription, but due to the fact I am moving to Brighton in 6 months time, I will not be able to continue with this subscription, as I do not want too much stuff to have to take with me, and also I need to be saving up some money. Cancelling this subscription will give me some extra money that will give me some more financial support in Brighton. I hope you all understand.

The box was pretty impressive this month though.

The t-shirt in this month's box was beautiful - a simple black t-shirt with the animals in the house colours representing each house. I'm glad this will be the final t-shirt I will be receiving from the company. They really do know how to impress me and this is a t-shirt I will easily be able to wear on an every day basis (unlike a couple of others that I would only wear at home, aka the bright yellow one I got once).

We got a figurine of Hedwig which I feel like will be perfect for display in my room. It is so detailed and so beautiful that I'm sure it will be the talking point of any conversation with anyone visiting. We could've got the gold or silver versions - I got the silver one but I am glad about that as it is more realistic than the gold version was.

Then there was a rubber Fantastic Beasts keyring. You could get 1 of 2 designs and I got the Magical Congress logo one. I'm going to add this straight away to my car keys, to go along with my metal Hogwarts crest keyring.

They also included a set of 4 metallic coasters - all with the colours of the 4 different houses. I don't have much use for coasters in my house in Nottingham but once I move to Brighton, I intend to use them then. They look so beautiful, so even if I don't really use them, they'll look great for decoration.

Badges are always something I love, so when I saw that they included the little button badges of Slytherin and Dobby, I fell in love. These are definitely going to be put on my bag straight away.

They included the cutest stickers too, cartoon versions of the trio, Harry, Ron and Hermione, and Hedwig. These are so cute but I never have much use for stickers. I might try and find room for them to decorate my new laptop.

Then there is the Owl Art Print, which features a very snowy Hogwarts. You all know I love these prints as they're amazing to have up on my walls all over the room. Something beautiful to wake up to in the morning.

The final item in this month's box is something I am very impressed with. It is the Elder Wand necklace, and it is very detailed, but the only thing is, it is slightly heavier than I'm used to. I'm looking forward to adding this to a very simple outfit, to show it off to people I know.

I'm glad I finished my subscription with this company on a high. I'll always be a massive Potterhead, and I am really upset that I'll not be receiving any more of their boxes (at least not for a while). But if you love Harry Potter as much as I do, make sure you get this box. It definitely is worth every penny.

I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all.

I hope you all liked this post. If you did, be sure to subscribe/follow, comment and share with friends.

Hello you beauties!

Can you believe that it's almost the end of February already! I'm counting down the days now until summer (I'm getting really fed up with college now) - just less than 4 months until college is over! So today's post is the last post of the month and I'm really excited to get started with it! So here is this month's GeekGear World of Wizardry subscription box review!

As per usual, the first item I pulled out of this month's box is the t-shirt - something that we get in every month's box. The t-shirt in this box is one of the cutest ones we have ever received. It is called the 'Beautiful Beasts' t-shirt as it really is a t-shirt with beautiful animals on it. It is really simple and so really easy to wear so I can see myself wearing it a lot.

Let's talk about the print in this month's box. It is amazing, called a movie print. It features Daniel Radcliffe posing as Harry Potter and Eddie Redmayne posing as Newt Scamander (obviously this is to celebrate the release of Fantastic Beasts a couple of months ago). This print is the perfect addition to my print collection.

I was extremely excited to pull out the Wizarding World colouring book from this month's box. Some of you may know that I once used to sit and colour literally every night and I still sometimes do as it is a great activity to help de-stress. I also became obsessed with collecting Harry Potter colouring books so I am glad to add this one to my collection. The pictures in it are lovely too.

In this box we also received a Daily Prophet Reporter Journal notebook which I am happy to now own. As a writer (and also a future Creative Writing student), I am always in need of new notebooks and the detailing on the pages is beautiful. I can't wait to use this more.

Before we move onto the house themed products in this month's box, I have one final item to mention to you all. It is the Gryffindor Sword letter opener which is honestly one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. I probably won't use this (mainly because I don't receive many letters) but I definitely will have it on display all the time - the detailing on it is just beautiful!

Now we can move onto the house themed products, which surprisingly there were more than usual (usually we only get 1 or 2). For those of you who don't know, my house is Slytherin, so I was excited to see the green and silver Slytherin tie in this month's box! I have been desperate to own one of these for so long, and I even saw some when I was at the Harry Potter studio tour in London last year but I couldn't justify paying almost £23 for one! And I'm glad I didn't because now I own one and I didn't even pay that much for the whole box! I think we all know now what I am dressing up as for Halloween this year...!

The second house item in his month's box is a Slytherin (or whatever your chosen house is) scarf! I am so so happy to own this, and I know it's going to be perfect paired with the gloves and hat that we received in previous boxes. It's also perfect for the chilly, windy weather we have been experiencing recently (goodbye Storm Doris!).

The final house item and the final item in the whole box is a lovely little Hogwarts bookmark, that has a strip of colour on it to represent your house - so naturally mine has a strip of green on it. I love these metal bookmarks as I do already own a Slytherin one that I bought at the Harry Potter Studio Tour last year and I find that they hold very well in your book and looks very very pretty too.

I was really impressed with this month's box and I am still happy to pay each month for this subscription box as it is definitely worth the money. Every item in this month's box is definitely something that I will use. Definitely think about subscribing to this box if you can afford it!

I'll be back on Wednesday with my monthly favourites post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

I always get extremely excited about this box so I was so happy to open it up this month. So let's not waste anymore time, and just get on with revealing this month's box's content!

The first item (like usual) is the month's t-shirt. This month, it is one in your house colour, so obviously mine is in a green. A bright green to be exact. Which is not something that I find very flattering but it'll be great to wear on a lazy day at home. I just love the print on the front of it this month, with it being the Hogwarts logo. I'm sure I'll wear this one a lot.

The next item is a pair of socks, with these having your house logo on them. So obviously I got some Slytherin socks. I'm always loving and needing new socks so I am really happy that these are in the box this month.

There were two posters included in this months box. One is the Daily Prophet front cover featuring Dumbledore, and the other focuses on spells that we are introduced to within the Harry Potter stories and the uses for them. Both are brilliant and will make a great addition to my bedroom wall.

They also included a Gringotts Vault key which is something I am very excited about now owning this as it fits perfectly with the Galleon we received in last month's box. And it's something great to talk to my friends about, and great to have on display in my room.

Next is a tiny Weasley Wizard Wheeze's Jelly Bean jar, which I must admit I am slightly disappointed about. I thought they might provide something more exciting like a practical joke. Instead this jar is tiny. And I'm not really keen on jelly beans. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find some use for this item.

Another house product that we got was a cushion cover which is honestly one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I'm going straight out to buy a cushion to fit it so it can be placed on my bed and be great decoration for my room. I'm even going to make sure to take this to uni with me.

Finally, as per usual, they included a print in this month's box again. This month it is a Patronus print which looks amazing and I can't wait to put it up on my wall with all of my other prints that I've collected over the past few months.


If I'm honest, this box hasn't been the best but I still really do believe it is worth every penny I spend on it. I can't wait to see what they bring us next month.

I'll be back on Wednesday with my monthly favourites post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

Being a massive Potterhead, my favourite time of the month now always is receiving this subscription box! It arrived earlier than I thought, as I wasn't expecting it to arrive until after Christmas, but it actually arrived on the 21st. However, with so many posts already planned for Blogmas, I have only just been able to bring this post to you all! So I'm sorry, but I hope you enjoy it!

The first item in the box is the t-shirt. We get one every month and I always love them. This month, I'm not the biggest fan. I like everything about it apart from the colour. It says "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home" which I think is really cute. However, the t-shirt I got is a bright yellow which is not really a colour that I like to wear. I would've preferred the black one. But I'll still wear it and I still like it.

We also got an embroidered badge of the Hogwarts logo which is a lovely addition to the box but I don't really think I'd use it.

We also got a Hogwarts crest magnet in a neon colour (I got the neon orange one) which is cute and I can't wait to use it on my fridge.

We then got a Harry Potter mug (a plain white mug with a wool-y Harry Potter warmer for it) which is absolutely adorable and I can't wait to use it for my hot chocolates.

The print we got this month is a Newt Scamander one, and it is actually amazing! I can't wait to add it to my growing collection of Harry Potter prints on my wall. I will admit though, I still haven't had chance to watch 'Fantastic Beasts' yet and I feel like I'm missing out!

We also got a Hogwarts crest keyring (as you can probably tell, this month's theme was simply Hogwarts) which I think I'm going to use on my car keys once I finally pass my driving test.

The final two items are my favourite things in the whole box. Every month we always get items linked to our preferred choice of Hogwarts house, and each month I always choose Slytherin. This month these items were a beanie hat and smartphone gloves which are perfect for the colder weather. I am so excited to use them.

So, as per usual, I love this month's box. I really can't wait to see what the new year brings to the subscription box, and I am more excited than ever. I would love to know if any of you actually have this subscription box and your opinions of it.

I'll be back on Saturday (New Year's Eve!) for my final post of 2016! It's going to be a really special post, especially for me.

Hello you beauties!

I had loved this box the past few times I have received it, but for a particular reason, I was extremely excited about this month's GeekGear Harry Potter box. And it's completely obvious why - it was their Christmas edition! I couldn't wait to see what they gave us this month, and I know you can't either, so let's get straight into it.

Of course, the first item I noticed in this box (and was extremely excited about) was this month's t-shirt. The one we receive this month is a red on with the 'Magical Congress of the United States of America' t-shirt, which links with the Fantastic Beasts hint that we were given in last month's box. Now, I have yet to see this film, but I am already so excited to have some merchandise for it.

Next there is the Hogwarts House Lanyard, and like I always do, I have chosen the Slytherin house for this month's box, so I received a Slytherin lanyard. I love it, but I have no real use for it yet. Still glad to have received it in this box though.

Then we received a Harry Potter piggy bank which is honestly one of the cutest things I have ever seen. I have a lot of money boxes (my pug one will always be my favourite) but I'm sure I can find a great place to display this.

We also get a Fantastic Beasts postcard, which is lovely enough, but is honestly not one of my favourite things in the box and something I doubt I will get any use out of.

The print for this month's box is honestly one of the best things I have ever seen. It is an exclusive for the best, and is the scene of a Weasley Christmas. I am looking forward to finding a special spot for this on my bedroom wall, not just over the Christmas period but all year round!

As it is Christmas time, I was not surprised that they included Christmas cards within this months box, and the two designs (we get 4 cards in total) are just the cutest things I have ever seen. One says "Merry Christmas Ya Muggle" with a very Quidditch theme to it, and this is probably my favourite of the two (and I think I'm going to send one to my brother as I know he will love it), and the other just says "Happy Christmas" on it but also has a picture of Dobby dressed up in winter clothing. This one is cute to so I'm going to have to send on of these to someone too. I am really really happy with this addition to the box.

We also got a Galleon in this month's box! I was so excited to see this, as I've always wanted to see what a Galleon would look like. It comes in a little plastic case to protect it, and is quite heavy, so is obviously not made of plastic, which is great too. I am so happy to own this product. Now just to collect a Sickle and a Knut!

The final item is probably the most exciting out of all of them in the box. It can specially packaged, in a box designed to look like a wrapped present. It was Harry Potter's wand! I think it's great that they include wands in this box, because who doesn't love collecting wands!? I am so happy to actually own Harry's wand now too, because even though he is the main character, I never thought to buy his wand (I already have Hermione's and Voldemort's).

So I was extremely pleased with that box again this month. The GeekGear company never fail to impress me, and I can't wait to see what we get next month (just in time for the new year, hopefully).

I will be back tomorrow for day one of Blogmas (are you as excited as I am!?)!!

Hello you beauties!

I have seriously been too excited for this box. I am a massive Harry Potter fan - massive! - and so Harry Potter merchandise is everything I live for. This box is perfect for that. So let's see what was in this month's box.

Again, I chose to have a Slytherin themed box.

This box costs: £19.99 + £2.99 p&p

There are 9 items in this box

Let's first talk about the t-shirt in this month's box. It is actually amazing. It is a t-shirt that says 'I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good'. You could get a grey or a purple one and I am so happy that I got the purple one (it's my favourite colour!). I can't wait to start wearing it!

The next item I am really excited about is the 'I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good' travel mug. While it is only a plastic one and probably won't keep drinks warm for very long, it is perfect to keep drinks in while out and about. It is perfect for the coming winter months and will encourage me to drink more warm drinks during the day.

Next I pulled out a house 'Prefect' badge, which I thought was amazing-ly cool. Mine is green, for the Slytherin house. I have seen these around before and have always wanted one, and now I am glad to finally own one. I will probably wear this pin with every outfit.

Next are two posters which I am extremely pleased with. One is a house poster. Mine is green that says 'Keep Calm and Be A Slytherin'. I love this poster, and I have always wanted one. The other poster is one of the rules that Dolores Umbridge created during Harry's fifth year, which is one of the most awesome posters I have ever owned. I am so excited that they did this.

They also included some ribbon with the Hogwarts crest and all of the House crests. It looks cool, but I really don't see why they included it. I know I'll have no use for it.

Next is another AMAZING product. In the box, we got a 2017 illustrated calendar! I am not usually the sort of person to use a calendar as I usually forget to change it each month or to even use it in general. However, the illustrations on this calendar are so beautiful, so I know I will definitely be using this every day next year. I can't wait for it to be 2017 already!

Then there is a wall hanging of 'Platform 9 and 3/4' which is actually metallic, and so I feel would be greatly protected. This is really quite cool and I'm going to make sure to find somewhere to hang it in my bedroom, especially once I go to university.

The next and final item in the box is a double-sided print, which I have already put up on my wall. One side is another 'Platform 9 and 3/4' print, and on the other side has a picture of Hogwarts. Of course I chose the picture of Hogwarts to display on my wall. I love these prints that they put in these boxes. The illustrations are amazing and they're all such good quality.

Again, I absolutely loved this box and I really really cannot wait for next month's box. And apparently November's box will be their Christmas box which I am so excited about as Christmas is my favourite time of the year!

I'll be back on Tuesday with my monthly favourites for you all!

Hello you beauties!

As you all may know, I used to subscribe to the 'My Little Box' beauty boxes, but I have swapped that box for an even cooler Harry Potter subscription box. While I know it's not beauty related, I thought I would still write my monthly reviews on it, as I know some of you may still be interested in it.

This box costs: £19.99 + £2.99 p&p

There are 8 items in this box

You get to choose the house you want for the box, or choose to have a mixture. Obviously I'm a Slytherin, and so as soon as I opened the box, I saw the green tissue paper showing my house colour, holding the surprises together with a lovely 'Dark Mark' sticker.

The first item that stood out in this month's box was a lovely t-shirt. The t-shirt was an Ollivander's t-shirt and I have worn it as much as I can already. I was unsure what size to choose so I went with a size bigger than I usually get, and it's huge on me, so it's a good job I love wearing baggy clothes. It feels and looks great though and I am extremely happy with this first product.

Next is another major product in the box - Voldemort's wand! When I went to 'The Making of Harry Potter' for the first time back in June, I bought Hermione Granger's wand then and have wanted to add to my miniscule collection of wands since then. Even though they're not of the same brand, I'm so happy to have another major wand in my collection and I hope there will be more to come in the future. 

The next item is a large-ish badge that says 'Proud to be a Slytherin' with the Slytherin snake on it. This is a lovely addition to the box, but because the badge is so big, I doubt I'll wear it out of the house. I'm just going to find a special place to display it in my house.

Then I pulled out a Hogwarts tea towel! The design of this product is really special - with 'Hogwarts written on it and part of the castle drawn around it. I doubt I will use this much now, I might save it for if I ever get to go to university but I do honestly believe this is a lovely addition to the box, and is a decent sized towel.

One product I was extremely excited to see was the Marauders Map! Both my brother and I have always always wanted one of these, and now I finally have one! The quality of it is great - whilst you can't actually see people walking around on it, the detail put into the actual map and outline of the castle is brilliant, and the feel of the product is great. It is made of extremely glossy paper which I feel will make it last a whole lot longer.

Next is a cardboard glossy Azkaban Poster, which I am actually very happy about. It is very cartoon like but also very detailed and a decent size too. I have a lot of posters on my wall already, so I will probably save this for when I go to university to decorate my room, but I am very happy with the inclusion of posters in this subscription box, and I feel like it will last for a very long time.

I must have actually screamed when I saw the Hogwarts Letters in the box this month. They're so detailed and look so life like, and they gave us two as well, so it's a great idea to send one to a friend! My brother loves Harry Potter just as much as I do, so I decided to 'send' one of these letters to him and he loved it. It's a great addition to my Harry Potter merchandise collection.

The final product in this box, and again a pretty amazing product, is a Deathly Hallows Necklace! I have honestly ALWAYS wanted one of these and now I finally have one! What more, the part of the Resurrection Stone can actually turn, which I find makes this even more unique. The chain is a decent length and the fact that it is silver makes it a brilliant item, and I cannot wait to wear it more in the future.

I cannot begin to describe how much I love this box. While I love my beauty subscription boxes for the makeup additions to my collection each month, this Harry Potter box gives me an acceptable excuse to 'geek out' once a month while getting great and decent quality products for such a low price each month. I already cannot wait for next month's box already, and I would definitely recommend that you all treat yourself to this box as well. But be quick! As you can imagine, this box sells out extremely quickly (usually within a couple of weeks).

I'll be back on Saturday with my monthly favourites for you all!

Hello you beauties!

Yes, I know, it's another tag. But it was my 19th birthday yesterday, so I thought it was fitting to write about the one thing that I love the most - other than fashion and makeup of course. Harry Potter.

1. What is your favourite book?
Definitely the Half Blood Prince. I feel like it is the most mature out of all the books while Harry is at school, and makes me feel less like I am reading a children's book, and more like I'm reading a YA book.

2. What is your favourite film?
Probably Deathly Hallows Part II. It is a very dark film, and very emotional. The actors are great at portraying the emotions correctly for this film. I cried a lot during this film. Honestly.

3. What is your least favourite book?
The Chamber of Secrets. I just found this to be the most boring of all of the stories.

4. What is your least favourite film?
Again, The Chamber of Secrets. I think I was just not that keen on the storyline as I was the others, and the character of Lockhart really annoyed me. A lot.

5. Parts of the books/films that made you cry?
Many of the deaths throughout the series. Especially Fred. And Cedric.
Draco basically being pressured into being a Death Eater to save his family
The fact that the Slytherins were always so horrible to Hermione about things that she couldn't help e.g. being Muggleborn, her looks

6. If you could hook up with any character, who would it be?

Definitely Draco. Always has been Draco since day one, and will be Draco for as long as I live. 

7. Who is your favourite character?

This is a hard one, as I love both Hermione and Draco. I would have to go with Draco in the end though. He is a more troubled boy, and I feel most sorry for him. 

8. Who is your least favourite character?

Oh, this one is easy. Definitely Umbridge. I don't know how she was even let near children. Or to teach them anything. She is just the worst human being going. 

Oh, and I disliked Lucius Malfoy a lot too. He always prioritised Voldemort over his own son and this really annoyed me. Family should come above everything else.

9. What is your favourite quote?

Mine is definitely a Weasley twin quote.

               "What are Fred and I? Next door neighbours?"

10. What is your least favourite quote?

When Lucius Malfoy says 

              "Now now, play nice Draco"

because I find it extremely patronising. Draco isn't a little kid, so why treat him like one!?

11. What would your Patronus be?

I have never actually thought about this. But the quizzes that I take usually say 'Otter' because apparently I'm smart. 

12. What would your Boggart be?

Probably a massive snake, or a great big Alsatian, both ready to attack. 

13. What would you rather have - the elder wand, the resurrection stone or the invisibility cloak?

Definitely the invisibility cloak. While I'm small and almost invisible anyway, but if I had an invisibility cloak it'd be so much fun sneaking up on people. I could attack them with snowballs - oh my, it'd be so much fun!

14. Which house would you be in?

Slytherin 100%!!!

15. If you were on the Quidditch team, which position would you play?

Probably Beater. I can get quite violent when I want to, so the other team had better watch out or else get knocked into another universe. 

16. Which class would be your favourite?

I would love History of Magic. I know in the books it says it is a very boring subject, but I just love history in general, whether that be Muggle or Magic.

17. If you could bring one character back to life, who would it be?

Cedric Diggory! He was way too young to die, and I would've loved to have seen his character develop. It is obvious that Rowling only bought him in for the Triwizard Tournament, so she'd have a character to kill off. Which is so sad. 

18. What would your job be in the magical world?

I would love to be a Healer or Mediwizard, and learn how to use magical and herbal remedies from minor injuries to more major illnesses. 

19. If you could meet any member of the cast, who would it be?

I would LOVE to meet Emma Watson. She seems like such a genuinely nice person and I feel like I'd get on with her very well. 

20. Were you happy with the ending?

Kind of. While the pairings seemed cute (yes, I do love Hermione and Ron being together) but I wish that Harry and Draco had become friends. Yes, I know the hatred wasn't as strong anymore, but after everything that went off in the Battle of Hogwarts, I genuinely thought they could be friends after that. 

21. How much does Harry Potter mean to you?

It means a lot to me. It is what I grew up with, and is the only wizarding and witchcraft story that I have read that doesn't make me cringe. It is my escape, whenever I'm feeling sad, I just pick up one of the books, or watch one of the films, or go onto one of the online communities and lose myself into the wondrous world of wizardry.

Hello you beauties!

When the weather is warm, we all know how important it is to dress appropriately but still look great. So I'm here to share with you what I love to wear during the summer days!

1. One thing I love wearing in the summer months are simple short sleeved t-shirts. They can be of any sort. At the moment, I have one t-shirt in particular that I am obsessed with - it is a simple striped t-shirt that I bought from Primark for £3. I am also loving wearing Harry Potter themed t-shirts as I am a massive Potterhead. All simple t-shirts like these are great to wear with a pair of leggings, which brings me onto the next point...

2. Cropped leggings! I rarely wear any other trouser/skirt typed items other than leggings, but sometimes it gets a little bit too warm to wear the full length leggings. So I purchased some leggings that come to just below my knee which I don't find too warm for the hot weather. They're great to wear with anything.

3. Summer dresses! I'm not usually a dress sort of person (for confidence and practicality reasons) but sometimes in the summer I do wear the odd dress here and there. I love wearing very pastel and summery colours like bright blue and pastel red/pink and they're great for a chilled out day with friends and family.

4. Playsuits are my ultimate go-to during the summer months. They're really relaxing to wear but also look super cute and you can even get away with wearing them for a more formal event! I love white and blue playsuits but I also have a pink floral one that I absolutely adore.

5. Anything with floral prints are a must for the summer months. Of course, because I know I see a lot of flowers around once we get into Spring and Summer and these sorts of prints make me feel extremely girly too.

So they're my 5 go-to clothing items for summer this year! Tell me what you like to wear during the summer!

I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all (hint: it works well with this post!)!

Hello you beauties!

Summer is definitely here and with college now over until September, I am planning on reading a LOT of books. Do you enjoy reading too? Do you want recommendations on what to read? Then here is my book recommendations to you for this summer.

1) The Harry Potter series by J K Rowling
Who doesn't love Harry Potter!? Let J K Rowling take you to another world this summer with young Harry Potter and his friends as they battle evil and create friendships with all sorts of people. However, don't expect to be able to read the whole series this summer. Maybe just 2 or 3 books.

2) Am I Normal Yet by Holly Bourne
This is one of those books that talks about the harder topics (anxiety, OCD, therapy etc) but it really is a book that I have been loving recently. I have really found sympathy for the main character Evie, and I have been hooked the whole way through.

3) Suite Francaise by Irène Némirovsky
Everyone has heard of this book, turned into a film. And honestly, it was one of the best books I have ever read. It has a beautiful story to it (don't worry, I won't ruin anything!) and has amazingly developed characters. Whilst it was not one of the easiest books I have ever read, I will definitely admit that it was worth the read.

4) The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am sure that everyone has heard of Fitzgerald and the character of Gatsby. I studied it a few times for my English Literature A Level, and I know a lot of people who hated this book after studying it, but honestly it is one of my favourite books ever. It's not too long either so it is perfect for the summer.

5) Girl Online by Zoella (Zoe Sugg)
I have seen people with mixed opinions about this book. I personally love this, and think that Zoe has done a brilliant job with writing it. I love the storyline (again, I'll not provide any spoilers!) and the characters are very developed and strong. I loved it so much that I bought the second one and loved that too! So make sure you read this book this summer!

So that was a very short recommendation list for you all! I could definitely recommend more books than this but if I did, we'd be here all day and I know you don't have time for that!

I hope that you all enjoyed this post and I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

I can't believe it's August already! Another month closer to my birthday (I'm sure I'll talk about my birthday a lot between now and September), I really am excited now. Also another month off college is something to look forward to, I feel less stressed out already and summer has only just begun!

As it is the first day of August, here is my July favourites!

1. Benefit Hoola bronzer
I hardly ever wear bronzer as I always struggle to find the right shade for me, and a lot of them always turn out very orange-y on my skin (especially the Makeup Revolution one that I own) but this bronzer is definitely one that I can work with. It's very light and sits nicely on my skin. I would definitely recommend this bronzer.

2. GOSH Prime & Refresh eye primer
I used to love my Korres eye primer but during this past month I really have loved this other eye primer too. It's very easy to use/apply on the lid, and keeps my eyeshadow looking perfect for as long as possible.

3. Yankee Candles
Who doesn't love candles!? I loved candles all throughout winter, especially cinnamon and apple scents, but Yankee candle store recently had some lovely summery scents in stock. They're great to use to make those dull rainy days that bit brighter.

4. No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara
This mascara is definitely my holy grail makeup product since I discovered it in my Look Incredible beauty box in June. Since then, I have already bought another one - I love it that much!

5. Gossip Girl
I have always loved this show, but I am loving it even more recently. As I've had more time to spare as I haven't had college, I've spent most of my time sitting on my sofa watching this show on Netflix. Definitely check this show out if you have time to!

6. Harry Potter
I have been a fan of Harry Potter for a very very long time but just recently I have become very very obsessed. In June, I went to The Making of Harry Potter and I am going back again in a few weeks time. Recently the Harry Potter series has made me very happy which is why it is in my monthly favourites.

So that's last month's favourites for you all! I'll be back on Wednesday with a new post for you all!
