MUA Nail Varnish and OOTD
So today I'm trying something completely different, both a product review and a cheeky little OOTD, I like to mix up my posts so who knows whether I'll do another one of these in the future, I'll base that decision on the feedback I get. Firstly the Nail Varnish, I've seen a lot of bloggers posting about MUA being affordable but a good quality. So since I wanted...

Puppies, Puppies, Puppies
Over the last few months I've been really broody, puppy broody that is! (keep your hat on mum!) I've ALWAYS wanted a pet dog but both my mum and brother are allergic to them so I've had to get to 20 with still no dog! I'm counting down the days until I have a little puppy (or twelve) to call my own! So here are some adorable photos of puppies...

Naughty Rachel - Skint Rachel
Last week I picked up the latest Glamour magazine (the one with Lea Michele on the front) and found a 25% off HnM ladies wear voucher. This magazine is still available and the voucher is valid until the third of April so I advise you all run out and get it! So today I went and took full advantage of this voucher. So here's the things I bought. http://www.hm.com/gb/product/14937?article=14937-B I...

No Make Up Selfie
So the Facebook Twitter trend of No Make Up Selfies has brought up a few different opinions. I have to say when I first saw it I was very cynical with the "how is a picture of you going to help" But I quickly realised how much of a good idea it was. Without the pictures this trend of donating money wouldn't spread as far as it has. So far it has raised over...

Quarantine Me!
With the changing temperature between winter and spring a lot of people around me have been getting ill. Sniffles, coughs, infections, headaches, in bed for a week etc. and I for one just do not have time to be ill with all my university work! So this post is all about the ways I try and stay healthy. Sleep - I'm not normally one for early nights and early...

Making Egg Fried Rice
Today's blog post will be about one of the easiest tastiest recipes I have found and how I adapt it to my own. Egg fried rice. Now I am HORRIBLE at cooking so for me to get this right is encouraging for anyone cooking! BBC Food - the link to the original recipe. You can see that recipe is to serve four, I usually try and make this to serve two, it's quite...

Hungry Horse
Last night me and my boyfriend (Andrew) went to the Gypsy Queen in Sheffield which is a Hungry Horse pub. I've been to the Hungry Horse chain restaurants in a few different places, (Northampton, North Wales and the Gypsy Queen once before) and I'm never disappointed. For the price I find them very good quality and very good portion sizes, if like me and Andrew...

Uni Work OD!
I had a realisation the other day of how much work I need to do for uni in such a short space of time which put me into major panic mode! Next Tuesday is coming up very fast and I have a deadline! It felt like I had no time at all but then I had an idea to help organise my time.  I drew this (very messy) week time table: Which totally relaxed me as I...

Sunday Night
About half an hour ago I just had a very strange experience, I don't know how I feel about it at the moment.  About 9:30 in the evening there was a knock at the door so I went and answered it and there was a lady stood there. She said to me "do you know any bed and breakfasts or anything anywhere? I have no where to stay" I am at university in Sheffield...

Finally March!
I can't believe how quickly this year is going! March already! I thought February would be the longest month ever, but here I am four weeks later and I've done a full month without chocolate. Definitely proud of myself with how much temptation has come up within that time. What did surprise me was that I wasn't that desperate to eat some chocolate today, I...
