Essie - Sunday Funday



Looking for the perfect summery Sunday nail polish? Essies Sunday Funday is the answer. It's a beautiful neon coral with flecks of glitter which I love because who doesn't love a bit of sparkle? 

To prep my hands for a fresh coat of paint I used Salted Coconut from Lush. It's a gorgeous creamy coconut hand scrub. I love the smell, it's Summer in a pot! If you can imagine lying on a beach sipping on an ice cold pina colada, the ocean waves lapping in the background and the sun beating down on your face that's what salted coconut smells like - divine!

Essie is my favourite nail polish. I love the vast range of colours (I'm slowly collecting them all), how they all seem to be fairly consistent with formula, the packaging and of course the names! I love the quirky names and often the name is the final push to get me to buy the polish. Essie nail polish is rather expensive at £7.99 a pop! But often I will wait until Boots has a 3 for 2 offer on so it's not as expensive! 

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend! 

Love,

Mint Madness

Mint has been a popular colour trend for the past couple of years and always springs back around this time of year. I have been loving this trend a lot lately. Here are my top mint picks.


I think my obsession with mint started when I discovered the mint Fiat 500. I have recently passed my driving test (yaaaay) and I'm look at getting a car, this one is definitely top of my list, if I actually get it is another story, why must insurance by so expensive? *crying emoji*

I've been wanting a watch for a long time now but I'm not sure what to go for as big faces look silly on my wrists. I don't think this one looks too big and I love the seahorse. 

Bounce balls are so tasty and a good energy hit after a work out. 

I'm not one to usually go for colourful shoes like these Converse but I think they'd be perfect for Summer. 

Another *crying emoji* moment. Last night I went to buy this gorgeous mint mojito bag from Kate Spade in the sale after seeing it online during my lunch break. But when I went to buy it the bag was sold out! :( I bought the pink one instead though so I don't feel quite as bad! 

You can never go wrong with a gorgeous piece of Tiffany jewellery like this bracelet. 

I'm always on the hunt for pretty unusual kitchen bits. Love this Oliver Bonas bowl. 

I'm a bit last to the trend of Essie - Mint Candy Apple as this came out a few Summers ago. I was just never sure on this colour for nails, 

Lastly I couldn't finish this mint post without mentioning mint ice cream - one of my favourite flavours!

What trend are you loving at the moment?

January Wish List


Today's post is a little collage of all the things I am lusting after at the moment. 

To start with are these super cute short bunny pyjamas form Primark. They are so cute and I always love getting new pyjamas. 

I tried a sample of Dark Angels from Lush a few months ago and loved it - my skin felt really clean after using it! 

I've been thinking about getting one of these boyfriend style watches for ages now but still haven't taken the plunge! This rose gold one from Fossil is gorgeous but I'm still undecided if I want rose gold or silver, decisions... 

Paris has got to be one of my favourite cities ever so when I saw these cute little necklaces I knew I had to have one! I bought my Paris Skyline Necklace the other day in rose gold and it was dispatched today, can't wait for it to arrive! 

Isn't she a beauty?! I'm such a sucker for designer handbags - I just can't help it! Next on my list is this Alexander Wang Rockie Bag with rose gold hardware (are you spotting a trend here?). 

With Valentines Day looming ever closer I thought Essie - Lovie Dovie would be perfect for the upcoming season. 

If you have ever lusted after the Too Faced Leopard Bronzer but didn't want to fork out £25 the Pro Glow Purr by Freedom is the answer. With a price tag of £3.50 it'd be rude not to! 

Now that Christmas is over I am sure I am not alone when I say that booking a holiday is top of my "To Do List". I love getting new sunglasses for going away - these Pink Aviator Ray Ban Sunglasses are beautiful! I may pick them up at the airport. 

Lastly are these pair of Hunter Wellies in Thundercloud. Currently I have a pair of pink Hunters that I got for my 18th birthday. They are looking a little tired now so need to replace them. They are a little pricey for wellies but my current ones have lasted me five year so definitely worth the money! 

What are you currently lusting after?

Lots of Love,
