<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not quite sure how to sum up this special winter season into words. So I'll just give you one:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not going to lie, on my way out to Gatwick airport, I had the biggest nerves, I had done this season before in Lapland, and my memories weren't the freshest. I remember being tired, stressed, drained, and just overall, a little bit sad. But boy was I wrong to feel these nerves!</div>
<br />
Yeah okay, I'm not going to say it wasn't hard work, because again, I felt that stress, that drained feeling and being so over tired, but this time around, it all seemed worth it.<br />
<br />
I think the biggest reason behind all of this has to be the little team I was blessed with. I have always, and will always say this, it doesn't matter where you are in the world, but if you have a wonderful team that feels like your family, you'll have the best time. None of us really conversed during the training period. I met fabulous people there too, and if I'm honest, I was absolutely gutted when I was told I would be placed 3 hours away from those people, but all we then needed was that first night out together, and we were instantly family.<br />
<br />
From Dance offs, Karaoke, Spanish blokes, Finnish blokes and Chicken on the floor (all berry-Juice influenced, obviously), this season in Levi started out with a bang (-ing headache, but fun all the same).<br />
<br />
The customers started flooding their way in, and looking after the hotel with the most arrivals in Lapland, we surely did not have a minute to spare to eat, sleep, think or breath. But it was all very much so worth it. (This obviously having a helping hand in losing 14lbs in 6 weeks)...<br />
<br />
There was hard days, and surprisingly, there was easier days, but all of which I will never forget,<br />
<br />
And all I can say is, if anyone ever has the opportunity of visiting or working in Lapland,<br />
<br />
Do it, as it'll be that magical place that will stay in your heart forever.<br />

Wow, what a six months to attempt to summarise within a single blog post. If only there was a way of creating a Mary-Poppin-Style blog post, where it could fit in absolutely everything, without it seeming to contain much at all and using up too much space. </div>

The friends I met and lived with were the best I could've asked for. We made a comfortable little family within our little home and it has been the summer of peace, self acceptance and love.</div>

<br />
Long story short, I met this guy, and without a chorus of backing singers, what we got up to was nothing short of a romantic movie;<br />
<br />
- We went to a peaceful little hippy-bar on the beach and watched the blood moon set over the sea.<br />
- We went to a beautiful, classy bar to when it started thundering and lightening intensely. He then drove me away on his scooter to the top of a woodland hill, overlooking the town to watch the terrific storms above our heads. The forks of lightening lighting up the sky and to top it off, the blood moon made an appearance- seeing this kind of became our thing.<br />
- The moon being a running-theme of our relationship moments, there was the night with the Lunar eclipse. That night too had forks of lightening. He took me up to the roof of a hotel with a drink to lay down, looking up. It started raining, so we kissed in the rain. Cliche.<br />
- We arranged a day off together where we hired a car and went around the island to places I had never been. He booked us into a beautiful 4* hotel for the night and had a yummy Italian meal.<br />
- He picked me up at midnight once and whisked me off to the beach, with a bottle of wine and a blanket packed. We had a beach wine-nic.<br />
<br />
There was many moments of kissing in the rain, kissing in the sea, absolute 'take-me' moments, and my stomach had constant butterflies for the past 6 months. All I can say is that, although the whole season we knew it was going to have to come to an end, I wish it didn't have to.<br />
<br />
I have seemed to be able to think a lot more clearly now, after this summer, and have learned to think with a more positive attitude, being so grateful that those moments happened, we will see each other again, and just remember the memories instead of wallowing in the fact it's over.<br />
<br />
I am so happy it's unreal.<br />
<br />
I've found a new me this year, and i'm never going backwards again.<br />

Wow! What an experience so far. Some good, some bad, but let's just say, I am so glad this island has been a part of my life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The island itself is so beautiful, from the little white buildings, the purple and pink flowers climbing up their walls, the blue as blue waters, the dusty tracks and boats resembling Jordan Belford's from the Wolf of Wall Street. </div>

The season, is so different to what I'm used to. You hear 'Ibiza' and you imagine non-stop partying, crazy nights and not a lot of sleep. And yeah, I was excited for this, but I have got the complete other end of that stick. The East coast I live on is peaceful, pretty, quiet, and traditional Spain. It has in fact, been the most chilled out of any of my seasons. A pint nowadays, feels like a mission, as opposed to the usual chugging them down like no tomorrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've discovered a chilled out sobriety and I'm loving it. I'm enjoying my job (except August, August so far can go f*** itself). I've met some wonderful friends (one of a male species in particular..), seen some spectacular sunsets, been to some great parties, and chilled out on the beach a wondrous amount of times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On another note though, on life update mode, today I did my video interview for LONG HAUL for Summer 2016. ARUBA or COSTA RICA. Can you imagine the beaches? The Pelicans? The Frogs?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Things have really been getting me down lately, with more stress than a snow-globe has flakes, but I guess I just need to look at, and enjoy the bigger life picture, right?</div>

I Don't think there's a way to sum up my year in words. So I'll let the Pictures do the talking, or such as that expression means. I wish the pictures could actually talk, like some crazy Harry Potter sh*t.</div>

I'll tell you something though, going from 30 degrees for 10 months to -30 degrees was an experience, it feels so strange to be in normal tempreatured weather now. I understand I've talked to you a little bit about Lanzarote in the past (still in love with that damned island).. But Lapland, what a place. </div>

What a week! So, every year, around the end of the month of September, every single person around the world in my job role gets informed of their next placements for the next upcoming seasons. We get to put a few choices down, but whether we get them or not is a different story. The harder you work your butt off, the more chance of receiving a choice or two..<br />
<br />
Well, through all of the tears, tantrums, friend's leaving to go home, screaming customers, days almost clicking that 'buy' button on a flight home, everything simply MUST happen for a reason..<br />
<br />
Because I'll give you three guesses where I'm about to jet off to to spend 6 weeks over Christmas..<br />
<br />
And being a Christmas baby myself (Born Christmas eve, eve..) and a complete festival freak the second it hits December first, it's easy to say I cannot stop grinning, skipping and singing those Christmas tunes..Sophielouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14618425581947066933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433742382533762289.post-63797097006158389972014-09-03T09:51:00.001+01:002014-09-03T09:51:17.330+01:00Mid-Week 'Pug me up'<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimqZ9KVoBJcnlozoI9FDgHsHXLCSTAydCbT_QtJptaUH1WEuSyohjwAKpebPPVV16NAzludNbipdcz_PFsw5henbT0MFgyJvP9uqJLCNdup_E4I4JxYCotUrdEbWNVRkAO5gUOVmGwbBM/s640/blogger-image--593457244.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimqZ9KVoBJcnlozoI9FDgHsHXLCSTAydCbT_QtJptaUH1WEuSyohjwAKpebPPVV16NAzludNbipdcz_PFsw5henbT0MFgyJvP9uqJLCNdup_E4I4JxYCotUrdEbWNVRkAO5gUOVmGwbBM/s640/blogger-image--593457244.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Anyone else feeling those dreaded mid-week blues?

Why hello there blogging world! It's been some time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I could go on and on and apologise for my lack of blogging, yadda yadda yadda, but that repetitive stuff always gets boring, so I'll spare you the yawns. I just thought I would share some recent Lanzarote experiences with you all, if you're still there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'll tell you something, I'm missing this internet confined world. I get thrills out of knowing people are actually reading my rambles, including my own mother. It's just so difficult with a lifestyle that you are busy with 24/7. Work, Play. Work, Play. Repeat. I'm shattered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm missing clothes shopping, owning decent make-up, even just the old simple #bbloggers chats on a Tuesday evening. But life does sometimes get in the way of enjoyments doesn't it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But I can't complain. Life is going rather swimmingly. I live in a beautiful black and red atmosphere full of natural beauty and magic (not including the club inhabited street I live within and the wonders of disgusting toilets, drunken holiday makers and stepping into vodka infused vomit). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I just feel lonely sometimes, a lot of the time. My friends out here are like family, but they're not. And the home comforts, well... When you've had a tough day, all a girl needs is a hot bubble bath with a Lush bath bomb, a magazine, hot chocolate and crumpets. All I have is a stubborn shower with a tendency to only 'bless' me with cold water, if any at all, before needing to plunge the plug-hole whilst washing and a strong lack of kettle, toaster or TV. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To conclude though, I am really going to try new and different things now. As mentioned, I live in a beautiful place that people spend thousands on visiting only for the week, so I'm going to get my walking shoes on (or flip-flops) and get OUT, take pictures and try new experiences and take advantage of being one lucky girly.</div>

My Gosh, it has been a while since an update on the old life abroad! I promise to update more often from now on as I do have a lot of interesting ones to write about, that's if anyone actually reads them..<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
(*Tumbleweed...*)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So Lanzarote has a Carnival in each resort just once a year, and the biggest of the 4 they hold being in Puerto Del Carmen. Unfortunately, we did have to work at it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And by work I mean, guide the coaches to the carnival then do a 45 minute stand at the information desk. Can't complain really.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The parade and floats were spectacular, from everything from men dress as Mario on scooters, to glorious glitzy glamorous costumes. Naturally, in the Spanish nature, every single person going down that strip was mind-numbingly gaziboed, filling up their abnormally large cups with sangria as they passed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We ourselves couldn't help but join in the festivities by dressing up too, from fairies, to Batman, to pirates and myself as a Musketeer on the right. The amount of passer-bys who just wanted a group photo of us all was outstanding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

If you ever get a chance to go to a Spanish carnival, or any cultural carnival, I highly recommend it. Just witnessing the bursts of culture through behaviours, costumes, language and traditions, it's something that happens every day in this world we live in, and you really need to experience these things to live at all.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Hello you gorgeous people, It's been a while! I do greatly apologise, however, you do know where I've been! Now, as a quick introduction, I know I have always been a fashion and beauty blogger, however I really cannot continue that with my job. I will hopefully have time for it one or two months out of the year when I am back in England, but for now, it's sadly goodbye. However, that doesn't have to mean goodbye to the blogger in me. So I am thinking this is time for the great switch around, in making this </span><span style="text-align: justify;">more of a pure lifestyle blog, and it more detail, a blog about my 'Rep's life'. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
(If this no longer has your interest, I suggest you turn away.... Now).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As some of you will know, I began my journey April last year when I jetted off to Cyprus to become one of those 'Holiday Advisors'. Now unfortunately, again, as some of you will know, I did not have the best experience. The people I worked with out there turned into vile, disrespectful people and this, did result in my early release back to the UK. The entirety of the 3 months I spent back at home over Christmas I was persistent I would never return to the job role as I believed every season would be the same. Plus, I had a job, a long-term boyfriend and a brand new baby God-Daughter. Then I woke up one morning, about 2 weeks before I was due to fly out, and thought 'You know what, I'm off!'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have never been so nervous in my life. Not just about the fact this season could be the same, but also incase any of this new staff would've heard bad rumours about me from last year. I boarded the plane with pure caution (and 2 suitcases 8kg too heavy) and began my journey part two.</div>

Last year only left me with a poor bank account, mosquito bites and a bad impression of both people and seasons. Yet taking that under the wing, biting the bullet and giving it a second chance was the best decision I have ever made. </div>

Not only are the people out here like my new little family, but I have fallen in literal love with this island. Lanzarote is, to put it simply, the most gorgeous, scenic place.</div>

To start things off, as I mentioned in my last blog post, I went out for my work's Christmas meal and had the unfortune of losing the entirety of my make-up collection (more or less). I stupidly had all 10 Mac lipsticks, 2 YSL lipsticks, 3 Limecrime lipsticks, my Sleek blushers, Urban Decay eyeshadows, Benefit mascaras, Laura Mercier Primer and much MUCH more in one big make-up bag which, went walk-abouts that very night. I have since contacted every place I went that evening, the police and plenty of local people over Facebook about it, and was unsuccessful. Personally, I feel somebody picked that up and thought Christmas had come early. Oh well, no point dwelling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also had a lovely night out at The Forum in Hertfordshire for my Birthday, which, gave me the lovely present of 2 friends who had completely cut me from their lives due to untrue rumours back into my life with apologies. Unfortunately again however, this was the night my nail glue exploded and 80% ruined my iPhone (still useable but crusty!). Following this, 2 days later, said phone fell from my pocket and the screen smashed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On another day, I was travelling back home from London, got out at my platform and bumped into an old work friend I hadn't seen in about 2 years (who happens to go by the name of 'Zoella' on the internet, no name dropping intended ;)) and that was nice. But 10 minutes later on with-drawing cash from the cash-point someone stole from me my bank card and cash I had just taken out. Yes, 1 week before Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On my actual Birthday day, the storms got so bad all of my plans were literally blown out of the window when all forms of public transport seemed to come to a holt. Still can't complain with the family time and Raspberry Sours consumption.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Christmas day was lovely though. Lots of lovely presents, shopped the sales, ate too much food and slept. However, I was back at work the next day for every day right until a few days ago, lovely jubly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now, putting that terrible month behind me and burying it very deep into the sand, I now have 11 days until I start my next adventure of working in Lanzarote. For those of you who may be a new follower, or just don't know, I work seasons abroad as a 'Overseas Holiday Advisor' *Cough, Rep*. So being as excited as I can be, organisation is lacking. Money's gone walk-abouts this Christmas and being the fool that I am, I left my entire Summer wardrobe in Cyprus last season. So I have been being one of THOSE manic sales shoppers, trying to put together a complete wardrobe AND make-up collection in under £100. Not going so well by the way... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Health</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now, I'm not going too into this factor as I'm not too sure if i've ever been completely open with my blog readers with what's wrong with me, and i've never been a fan of bloggers who do this whole 'I get panic attacks and here's a massive post about it that was just SO hard for me to write' thing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But however it has been awful for me lately, and in between the constant doctors appointments, councillings and health courses, I'm absolutely petrified about going away by myself again, but I believe it's something I must do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, yeah, I apologise that I have been a little absent this past month. And also appologise if I won't be blogging much when in Lanzarote. I know i'll have no wifi again like in Cyprus, however I know I will blog more than I did out there. Thank you so much for all still being with me and I hope you all had a fan-dabby-dosy Christmas and New-Years!</div>

Oooh hello you little ball of Christmas luxury, aren't you are delight! So this guys, is the Lush bath bomb 'Luxury Lush Pud' and he is a part of the Lush Christmas family, hence the holly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
He has the gorgeous aroma of what I can only describe as a warm Christmas cookie, with a hint of cinnamon. Which, of course, instantly makes you both hungry and Christmassy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, just a quick message to apologise for my absence on my blog and the twittersphere this week, it's been the absolute worst. I never used to believe in Friday 13th superstitions, I sure do now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've had my bank card and money I withdrew stolen, I've lost my makeup bag with EVERY piece of make-up in, including about 7 MAC lipsticks, 2 YSL lipsticks, 3 Limecrime lipsticks and much much more. Not to mention it was all in my <a href="http://punkypugs.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/pugs-and-kisses.html">Pug Bag</a>!! Oh and to top it all off, my precious iPhone fell out of my pocket and smashed. I don't want to ever leave my bedroom again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So if you are one of my new beautiful advertisers and haven't received your email yet, don't worry, I haven't forgotten. You'll be advertisers until the end of January on my blog, twitter and instagram!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Has anyone else tried this gorgeous bath bomb?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyone else had any Friday 13th bad luck?</div>

Well hello there lots of pictures! It's just me and the better half went for a lovely Autumn/Winter walk and I think the pictures are just gorgeous. Not the mug in them, but the colours and scenery. I think I'm rather lucky really, having grown up in such wonderful countryside, I mean, we saw pheasants and bunnies on this stroll, beautiful! (Not to mention the tea and scones we stopped off for on the way back!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, my outfit! Probably my favourite of the moment! I just live in this jumper as it is so cosy, and has that Christmassy feel to it, without it being a massive statement, tacky Christmas jumper, if you're not into that sort of thing, (I totally am, but I'm yet to get one of those!) And these jeans, well, I'm not a jean person at all, I haven't actually worn jeans in about 5 years, yet I bought these on a whim and have lived in them ever since! The material is so soft and stretchy and I'm definitely going to buy another pair but in the darker shade!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Now, I'm not one to often go into Dorothy Perkins, however, when I do, I zoom straight on over to the jewellery section, and in particular, the sale jewellery. If you know me, you'll know that I rarely buy full price jewellery and at a push, if I do, it'll be from Primark. I just don't see the point in paying £15 for a necklace when it'll probably break or tarnish or get ruined in some way. So I always purchase my jewellery in the sale but usually from either Dorothy Perkins or Topshop, as I love their jewellery the most. So, now to share a few pieces I have picked up over the past month or so!</div>

Sorry for constant shots of my boobies, I never said this blog was PG13. It also looks like I have food down my front, I don't think I did... Awks. Anyways, I think I can safely say, there's no harm in popping into Dorothy Perkins on your lunch break, as you'll probably find a bargain!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Also, sorry I haven't blogged for a few days, I planned a few wish-listy posts / ideas for Christmas themed outfits, but my Pixelmator free trial ran out, and I purchased it on my old laptop, so I'm currently struggling with finding a decent (free) program to use for the moment. Any suggestions?</div>

It's the town where I work's Christmas light switch on today, and still right up to this moment, no matter what I do, no matter how many mince pies I eat, I just cannot get into the Christmas spirit!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know that sounds so 'Bah Humbug' of me, but usually I'm Christmas Jolly by November 1st. Christmas is always amazing for me as around the same time is my birthday and mine and Will's anniversary, so what is wrong with me this year I do not know! I know I am very poor at the moment, meaning I literally cannot afford to go Christmas shopping, or go to Christmas parties or buy the entire Christmas range at Lush, so that may be the answer! But still, there MUST be some way!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I thought, the snowflake nails last week were Christmassy and all, but you can't go wrong with trying some Rudolph's!!</div>

So, I whacked on out my red, black and white nail art pens along with my Barry M 'Mushroom 310' and Barry M 'Gold 289'. I painted my nails with the Mushroom, adding white nails and some nice big red noses (like mine resembles in the winter season). Adding some black pupils at the bottom of the eyes (to make them look dopey), some gold antlers and some shine on the nose there you have 10 dopey looking Rudolphs, so quick, simple and easy, a matter of dots and spots. </div>

I am, truthfully rubbish with shoes. I hardly own any, and the ones I do own are heeled, or velvet, A.K.A shoes I can't where to work all day or in the rain. Okay yes, I'll admit, cut-out shoes in the rain don't work either, but man they are comfortable!</div>

I love wearing brown shoes in the Autumn, there's something about them that just do it for me, like berry shaded lipsticks. And the gold buckles are like the tinsel on the, shoe?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There is the great debate I have in my head every time I go to wear them: 'To sock, or not to sock?!'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That is the question.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I did however wear them with a cute dress and tights, which totally worked, and I also think putting those sweet frilled socks with them would conquer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
How do you feel about this style of shoes?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Would you wear socks?</div>

I'm a massive fan of blushers, I just love the contrast in different shades of colours in my complexion. And ever since discovering the range of 'Sleek' blushes, a slight obsession has grown. Today, I'd thought I'd show you a new favourite to my collection and that being the shade 'Flushed'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I especially feel this shade suits the season perfectly, that Autumny type of colour, mixed with adding that dark purpley 'flushed' colour to your cheeks which winter does.</div>

Good Friday you lovely bunch, I hope you're all dolling up right this second for a good night out! Or if not, doing a night in right with fluffy pyjamas and copious amounts of food that's bad for you but tastes fantastic, either or. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just a little outfit post for you all, feat the electric blue top I picked up in Primark for a whopping £5, BARGAIN. And on the subject of Primark, did you know you can now make a profile for 'Primania' which is on the <a href="http://www.primark.com/whats-new">Primark website</a> and is a bit of a lookbook in which you need to be wearing a Primark piece. Naturally, I've signed up and would be mighty gracious if you could pop on over to <a href="http://www.primark.com/user/40252/looks">my little space</a> and 'fan' and 'like' my looks and such (there's only this one so far, but shush).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, I have never owned a pair of these Disco Pants and thought I'd try out a New Look pair, as I'd never tried them before, and I didn't want (couldn't afford) to splash out on a pair of the American Apparel ones. They do make me feel a little conscious- </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*my thighs look fat*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*obvious VPL*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*MASSIVE BUM*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BUT, they are super comfortable and after a few beverages, they make me feel like the twerking queen.</div>

Now, for anyone that doesn't know, I am a massive Lush fan. But you probably did know that, because I am yet to come across a person who isn't a Lush fan. However, my ultimate favourite, are their bath bombs. I could easily use one a day, but that may break the bank a little bit (bad Sophie!)</div>

So as you may have seen over the bloggersphere, they've got their infamous Christmas range available, and among the midst of melting snowmen, penguins and fairies, I picked up Mr Claus over there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To begin, doesn't he just look adorable?! Okay, I think he endured a bit of rough and rumble in the bag, and his face has become a little deformed, but still cute right? And the smell, oh the smell, it's Christmas in a scent. Please, if you're passing by a Lush store, go in and smell one of these bad boys.</div>

So when first dropped into the tub, the bomb fizzles out a lovely light pink colour, however it then explodes out shoots of bright green, a traditional Christmas colour. It fizzes away and adds that amazing soft feeling to your bath water and skin. Then, once it's completely fizzed away, your bath is left a lovely green colour, which I felt, made it feel like you were in a massive cauldron in a potion. Which is cool. But yeah, there are some Bath bombs I have been disappointed with, and this is not one at all. So go grab this beauty, it's just £3.25, and add some Christmas into your tub!<br />

Every Monday I'm like 'wooo Monday Manicure day!' Then I get into watching something like Fresh Meat or Misfits or Breaking Bad and it turns Tuesday. And there's something that feels wrong about posting a Manicure post on a Tuesday, damn television!<br />
So I thought, since the snow is apparently on it's way, why not get into the frosty spirit on my nails?!<br />
It's a really quick and simple one to do, and I think looks super cool (haha get it?!) and fitting.<br />
<br />
So without further ado, the step by steps:<br />
<br />
The Varnishes I used were Barry M in Hologram 244, Barry M in Blue Moon 317 and the Models Own white nail art pen.<br />

Starting off with a clear few coats of the blue, topping with a few coats of the glitter to spread an even coverage. I think that already gives you a 'Brrrr Frosty' effect, but I felt it needed a few frosty flakes as well, which I did with my Models Own pen, and a not so steady hand.<br />
<br />
Anybody have any other wintery nails ideas?<br />
They make me feel all Chrsitmassy!!<br />

Happy Sunday! The day for getting all cosy, watching old films and eating roast dinners. Except I went on a long walk today and am about to devour a kebab (ew, sorry diet!) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But we all know what 'getting cosy' means, getting in a onesie and internet shopping for things you can't afford, and I decided to eye-raid the Lashes of London sale as there's some really good finds on there at the moment, a lot of which are just £10!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My particular favourite being the <a href="http://www.lashesoflondon.com/chi-chi-heart-cutout-playsuit.html">cut-out dugaree-style playsuit</a>, as they have both blue and black available and have cute little hearts linking the top and bottom. I may have to get both colours..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So whilst I slowly eat myself to a heart attack, I wish you all a happy Sunday and hope you all have some very yummy Roast dinners.</div>

For the weekend, in a 'get better' program, I went down to Eastbourne to visit some people. And Eastbourne is my happy place, especially the beach. It is such a beautiful, scenic place, and it just shows, you don't need to run as far away as your can from England to find somewhere beautiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, here I'm wearing my new tartan patterned 'dress', which, I put in quotations as it covers my bum about the same amount as I imagine Miley Cyrus would want it to. It's probably down to my longish legs, or my bum has grown in size, so I plan to just team it with leggings from now on, not the tights I'm sporting here. I'm also wearing my new bowler which I love. I've wanted one for years as I do don myself a very 'hat person', so I've bitten the bullet and bought!! (Try saying that 5 times fast.)</div>

I have lusted over the YSL lipsticks for absolutely ages, but could never quite bring myself to fork over £24 on a lipstick, considering my collection is quite large as it is. However, whilst over in Cyprus, we had the perk with our job that one company we worked with gave us Debenhams vouchers every month, and I saved up a fair amount to splurge at the end of the season. However again, I was grimacing at the fact these lipsticks cost 33 euros each, but I let myself, I mean, look how beautiful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And, I will say right now, I regret nothing! Not only is the packaging to die for, but the colour and texture (and everything) about these lipsticks are top notch! For my first purchase, I chose the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in shade Fuchsia In Rage 19 as I am a massive fan of bold lips. The glossy effect it gives, I feel, is such a classy one, and however ridiculous it sounds, you can tell and feel you have an expensive lip product on. It glides oh so easily over your lips and has quite a long wear on it!</div>

The shade comes out a little more purple-shaded than it looks in the pictures, and I find myself reaching for this lipstick almost every day. However much I tell myself 'have some variety in what lipstick you wear Sophie, you have hundreds' I can't stop choosing this one.</div>

Do you own a YSL lipstick? If so, what shade and what do you think of them?</div>

As it's Sunday, I thought, to keep in tone with the cosy day of rain, slippers and roast dinners, I'd do a little reflect post. I know it seems I've come back to blogging with a very lazy attitude and believe me, I think I have, but this is no way intentional. It is in fact, I believe, down to settling in again. Obviously, I've had to restart a job I haven't been at for almost 2 years, I've got a best friend who has literally gone into hospital today to pop out a baby (YAY) and just seeing people in general I haven't seen since before going to Cyprus. But I promise, I have so many BIG ideas for blogging and so excited for it all, it's just getting back into time adapting and keeping. Which, I haven't always been the best at anyways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, I am sending a big apology to all of the gorgeous readers, and again, I do promise you lots of posts very very soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, proceeding on. This week, as you can probably see, I met Russell Kane!! But please excuse my messy atire as wind and rain from 8am until 12 midnight when this picture was taken isn't always the best. So myself and Will received free tickets from <a href="http://www.applausestore.com/home">Applause Store</a> to go and see the BBC show <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03d5k7s/Staying_In_with_Greg_and_Russell_Episode_4/">Staying In with Greg and Russell</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now for those of you who do not know, Applause Store is a site that you can apply to see TV shows being filmed live as part of their audience. It is completely free but the winners of the tickets are selected at Random. However you have to go yourself and have to attend (well, it's just I believe it effects your future chances of receiving tickets). I think it is such a great way of a cheap night out (depending on your local train/petrol prices) and an opportunity to maybe meet and watch some fantastic people and shows. This is the first show I have attended, but I have also received some for Celebrity Juice and Take Me Out, which I am very looking forward to going to!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was such a well run, smooth evening and myself and Will were even surprisingly in the 'Priority' audience which meant we were in the on-set audience and had our picture taken for a 'roulette game' the celebs played. We were so very lucky to have gone the week that the guests were Nicole Scherzinger, Dynamo, Shaun Walsh and John Newman. As you know, I met Russell Kane after the show, however I also half met Shaun Walsh and got to be 1 of 20 people at John Newman's feet whilst he performed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The show will be aired this Wednesday at 10pm GMT on BBC, not too sure if i'll be seen but it is such a funny episode so I suggest it's given a watch! (Even if it did take over 3 hours to film a 30 minute show!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you have all had an amazing week? And look out to everybody here in the south England, the storms are coming!!</div>

1. One of my last nights out. 2. Catamaran times. 3. New hotel bedroom. 4. Smiles. 5. I met Stavros Flatley! 6. Beach times. 7. My View. 8. Beach Partayyyy! 9. When Will visited. 10. Times to remember. 11. That time we swam out to sea at 6am to watch the sun rise.. 12. I got celotaped to a pole in a bar.. 13. My hotel I worked out first has watersides! 14. That time we walked along the seabed.. 15. I didn't pack many lipsticks.. 16. Me packing last minute..</div>

So I thought I would do a quick, little 'Life the past 6 months' post via Instagram. As you can tell, I didn't use much internet at all when I was abroad, due to lack of time and wifi. I did so much more than this but I uploaded when I could. Cyprus was amazing, don't get me wrong, and it's not that I'm glad to be back to escape the place, it was to escape the people. Anyways, I'm back home to get better and will hopefully have more amazing experiences in the future.. But for now my main priority is ME and feeling better.<br />
<br />
Also, I've actually written a schedule to a more 'hopefully' organised and structured blog. Wooo!<br />
<br />
PS. I've just noticed I've hit a whopping 800 blog followers! Thank you ever so much guys, that means so so much to me you have no idea!!!!!<br />
