Favourite Things

1. New make-up palette and Body Shop brushes! I am going to be honest, I know nothing about make-up. My first memory of make-up was bright blue eye shadow that I wore to primary school because I thought it was cool. It was in the 90's mind. Now as an "adult" my make-up bag consists of lipstick, a mascara, eye liner, foundation, concealer and a brow pencil. Pretty basic. I wish I was good at make-up but I always scrimp on it because you have to take it off every night and it is gone, not like my clothes, they are still there to hug me in the morning. But, I found this youtube video by the cotton-candy haired Victoria and I was sold. It is a highlighter, eye shadow palette, an eye liner and a eyebrow pencil all in one. I even bought brushes too. This girl should go into advertising, she could sell me anything. If next time you see me I have pink hair you will know who is responsible.

2. Routine pill popping. I have taken these pills on and off for years, firstly as a response to a really bad almost mullet like haircut, but now I use them mostly to maintain my skin as I have eczema and to sort of my nails which I destroyed by wearing nail varnish daily for 6 years, whoops. I have noticed a difference in each area these pills advertise to help, my hair grows at a crazy rate, my eczema is slightly more maintainable and my nails grow so quickly and look very shiny. They work well with my sister too, but I don't know how other people have got on with them.

3. Weekend walks. I live with my boyfriend and his course is very intensive and I always have something I could be reading so it is actually pretty rare that either of us take the weekend off, unless we have visitors. But this Saturday we wandered into the west end for a little bit of a change, he had never really seen my campus so I gave him a tour. And, although this may shock, it was warm! So warm that I took off my jacket voluntarily, March you better have started as you mean to go on!

What did you do with your weekend?
