My Yummy Story So Far - GoPro Competition

Hello Everyone!

So I have some very exciting news in just over a week I will be on my way to the most magical place on earth Walt Disney World! It gets even better as this is not for a holiday but I am going to be working there as part of the Cultural exchange program! An actual dream come true!

There is literally so much to look forward but one of the biggest of them all would be meeting new people and making new friends. This is an incredible chance to meet and work with people from all across the world and build up friendships. Already just through the application process and interviews I have made friends with people who I will always now keep in contact with and cannot wait to see them all in Florida!

Of coarse one of the biggest perks is FREE PARK ENTRY yes thats right free entry to the disney parks so I know where I will be spending my days off! My last visit was back in 2009 so there is Sooooooo... many new things to see and do!

Living away from home is going to be a challenge but that makes it more exciting! During the program I am hoping to achieve and build up confidence and learn new things about myself.

This is an unbelievable opportunity and I am going to spend my summer making the most of it and creating the best memories!!!

And it all started with a wish... and an application sent of to Yummy Jobs! Yummy Jobs recently contacted all participants about their annual GoPro competition and this is my entry so fingers crossed!

This video shows the journey so far and the lead up to all the excitement!! Hope you enjoy please excuse my poor drawing skills but its all for fun! :D

Why I love Liverpool

Hi Everyone,

As you may already know I am a proud scouser, Liverpool is my home town and no matter where I go in life I will never forget that. Some find Liverpool hard to understand, opinions vary from person to person but this is all the more reason to experience this beautiful city for yourself. I'm going to get straight to the point and give you guys just a few of the reasons why I love Liverpool!

(Click image for link to photo source) 

The people are super friendly

Now I suppose some may find the Scouse accent rather "rough" ?? I can assure you this is not the case. Scousers are famous for warm welcomes and going out of their way to help others. If you are lost or maybe even just fancy a chat there is always someone to talk to willing to help you or genuinely just have a gab and a laugh.

A city filled with Arts and Culture

Liverpool truly is a city of culture. With more museums and art galleries then any other UK city excluding the capital you can't miss the creativity. Now do I even have to mention The Beatles!? Everyone knows Liverpool is their hometown just through listening to their incredible world famous songs. This attracts thousands of tourists each year! and the music scene does not end there! Liverpool is filled with music and it certainly does range. Walking through the city centre you will always come across street performers and new fresh talent. Maybe you fancy a theatre visit? We have a so many venues including Liverpool Empire Theatre which is the second largest in the country. How about something a little more modern? Go for the Echo Arena. You are guaranteed to find something you will love!

Its big but not to big

Sounds like an odd thing to say but it's true! As a student I meet people from outside of the city on a regular basis. They constantly say to me how much they love Liverpool because of it's homely feel. It's the type of city were you can always find something new as its very vibrant and theres always something going on. Don't get me wrong it is big, on a night out or walking through town it is unlikely I will see the same faces because there are so many people. But isn't that great? New people, New faces it never gets boring! Despite the size Liverpool is not a city were you will ever feel lost!

Shopping, Food and Nightlife

Yes we have so much of all the things we love. As a Fashion Communication student and blogger I loveeeee shopping! I don't think I could live in a city that did not have many shops available to me because growing up in Liverpool means everything has always been within easy distance. The shops are also very involved with events in the city for example River Island have horse and jockey mannequins as well as stylist events to promote the oh so famous Grand National (yep thats in Liverpool to) As far as food and night life goes there is a lot of it! Anything to suit your needs theres hundreds of places to try and I assure you if you love a good night out you are guaranteed one in Liverpool.

Whats In my Beauty Bag / What I wish was in my Beauty Bag

Hello Everyone!

So I was recently contacted by Farfetch to enter a blogger competition. As part of this I have been asked to show you guys whats in my make up bag plus what is on my wish list.

Now I personally feel that a girls beauty bag can be a challenge! I mean for a beauty lover like myself it is quite difficult to take a stack of products and fit them all into a little cosmetic bag. I chose to focus on a couple of my most reached for products, here are the ones I am currently using on a day to day basis.

FACE:-

Foundation, Concealer, Contour... you know where this is going. Face make up applied correctly can make you look like an absolute 10 in minutes!

Loreal True Match Foundation - Benefit Hoola Bronzer - Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - Collection lasting perfection concealer - Diorskin rosy glow blush 

EYES:-

My eye make up purely depends on my mood so I have products to suit the various occasions. Some days I choose to wear eyeliner, eyeshadow you know the whole works! But other days it can simply just be mascara. Always ALWAYS have good eyebrows... They are everything!

Benefit Gimmie Brow - Benefit They're Real - Soap and Glory Lid Stuff - Anastasia Beverly hills brow dip pomade - Stila Stay All Day - Urban Decay 24/7 on eye pencil

LIPS:-

Due to the current weather conditions these are my handy little lip products. I choose to keep it quite neutral because who doesn't love pinky nude simple lips?

PS Lip Liner - Loreal Paris Infallible 2 in 1 Lip Colour

A girl can never have to many beauty products and after looking through the Farfetch I found myself browsing through their newly launched beauty selection in collaboration with Space NK.

There are seriously so many new products to choose from, the website certainly does offer an amazing online experience. I just wanted to put everything in my basket but after taking my time admiring all the products I narrowed down to a few favourites and got straight to writing my wish list!

1. Cellularose Hydradiance Eye Contour By Terry - I have seriously dark circles under my eyes, Its not good and I'm not happy with them AT ALL. But hey ho I will continue to look for further solutions! This product looks so suitable for me I especially love the metal application tip a very nice touch!

2. C+c Vitamin Cream by Natura Bisse - Dry skin is another problem for me, This results in make up fading off my face and patchy make up does not look good! Due to the extraordinary amounts of vitamin C within this product I imagine this cream would leave my skin feeling moisturised and looking radiant as well as treating my problematic skin.

3. R & Co Dallas Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner My hair is superrrr thin! It would be such a gift to have natural big thick hair but unfortunately that is not the case. I need a product that can nourish my hair, bringing it to a better condition. This is targeted to treat thin hair and make it appear thicker so I can't argue with that!

4. Hourglass The Modernist Eyeshadow Palette in Obscure First of all how stunning is this eyeshadow palette from Hourglass! I adore brown and gold tones on my eyelids when it comes to a night out. This is literally like a dream for me! I love every colour and the packaging is lovely. I have to try this!


So what do you think guys? What would your wish list be like from the beauty section of Farfetch.com?
