<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Skin care cleaning brush</b>: This is a very recent purchase, and a very cheap purchase! At a bargain price of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00G4ZUNOS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00">£2.69 from amazon</a>, I know there are more expensive and better quality versions out there but I thought id give this one a go first. It isn't the best and most powerful electric cleanser but it does the job and so far I am enjoying it! Feels like I get a very deep clean from using it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought over the next few posts I would go through what you might call my "skincare routine". I say this in inverted commas as I am incredibly lazy when it gets to taking care of my skin! However recently I have been experiencing a lot of break-outs so thought I would tackle this head-on. Some of these products are new and some my life-long friends. So, lets start with my make-up removal...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water: </b>I'm sure you've heard of this cleansing water, it is very similar to the famous Bioderma. I use this on a cotton pad to remove my make up or even just freshen up after a long day, its brilliant! Also it is very inexpensive, particularly if you buy it from Savers where you can find a big bottle for just £2.99.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Garnier Fresh Refining Toner:</b> See a theme occurring? I find I have an issue with shine, particularly in the hot summer weather we have been having, so I thought I would try this and its great! I use it after the Micellar water and it helps to get the final dirt and oil from my face at the end of the day.</span></div>

<br />
Today I thought id share what I wore to my recent Grad ball - it was such a great night and a perfect way to say goodbye to University!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9huCNRgM_50/VZvpHQENtFI/AAAAAAAARYA/hI3Z7aKC4_k/s1600/11390266_10153291257775944_4046829419429494712_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9huCNRgM_50/VZvpHQENtFI/AAAAAAAARYA/hI3Z7aKC4_k/s640/11390266_10153291257775944_4046829419429494712_n.jpg" width="531" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>The Outfit</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this dress last year from Zara but I have seen very similar ones in Zara and other shops this season! I love this dress as the white makes it a beautiful light and summery dress and it is made from stretchy scuba material so its super comfortable. Also, the low cut neck line and skater skirt style means it is very flattering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The shoes I wore are just some old strappy sandles from Peacocks a few years ago, though there are loads in New Look this summer if you wanted to get your hands on a pair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally I have a little necklace from H&M and earrings from Accessorize.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I lightly curled my hair and on my lips I have the Apocalips lip laquer in 'Eclipse'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The night was pretty good, there were acts such as Katy B and Labrinth playing as well as a funfair for everyone. It feels bitter sweet to have finally finished!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I vow that this will be the last post where I begin: "Sorry it has been such a long time since my last post...", this is a fresh start! Not just for the blog but for everything, it is a time of changes, <i>lots</i> of changes...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I have finished University</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having received my final grades a few days ago, I can now say I have a Bacheoler of Science in International Marketing! *Applause!* It has been a long time coming, and the best four years, but I officially have finished University and I can't believe it. I have learnt to much in the past four years, not just academically but also learnt a lot about myself and had some of the best experiences. Now I just need to get graduation out of the way and then it is on to new things! Which brings me onto my next piece of news...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I am moving to London</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something I never imagined would actually happen, but I have got graduate a job in London and will be moving there in August! Coming from a small country village, living in London has always been something I wanted to try, and what better time than now. I cannot wait to explore the city and meet new people, it is bound to be a challenge at times (particularly financially) but I am looking forward to the adventure. I barely know London, so it will be the perfect opportunity to blog about it as I explore, and you can explore it with me!</span><br />

Where has this year gone?! I feel like i'm a broken record as I always comment on how quickly time goes - but it really does. Particularly this year... Graduation is only a few months away!</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apologies for being so missing-in-action lately, it has truly been a hectic time. Here's a few things I have been getting up to in the past few months:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>My Dissertation</b> - It has crept up on me quickly, and has been taking up my whole life lately. Luckily, it should be done and handed in within the next two weeks so I will hopefully get a social life again!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Job Hunting</b> - this year has been a blur of application after application for graduate jobs and schemes, and it has been so much more challenging that I ever could have imagined! Though I have faith that I will find one by Summer hopefully! I am excited to leave Uni and start a new chapter somewhere new.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Starting an Internship - </b>I was lucky enough to have gained a term-time marketing internship which I can do on the side for the last few months of Uni, which is perfect! Extra experience and extra money, what's not to like.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Visiting friends </b>- As my last year of being a student is quickly moving on, I decided to make the most of my spare time and make the effort to visit friends in various places. I had a weekend trip to Liverpool recently, and last week also went to Leeds. It has made me realise how much of the UK I still have to explore!</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QnXgiuQQvpU/VRloVSY14CI/AAAAAAAARBY/81TPrWjLA0o/s1600/11069504_10153097418200944_8065249187301623592_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QnXgiuQQvpU/VRloVSY14CI/AAAAAAAARBY/81TPrWjLA0o/s1600/11069504_10153097418200944_8065249187301623592_n.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0b5tFJKoByw/VRloVdodA4I/AAAAAAAARBc/Btqi4-BPzoI/s1600/11071737_10153098241830944_8988944809377749437_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0b5tFJKoByw/VRloVdodA4I/AAAAAAAARBc/Btqi4-BPzoI/s1600/11071737_10153098241830944_8988944809377749437_n.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So hopefully you will understand how busy I have been lately! But I hope to add many more posts to my blog soon - particularly as my Dissertation will be ticked off in the coming weeks!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eventhough it's been much colder in the UK lately, I still love to wear my black skater skirt. Teamed with a cropped jumper or long sleeved top and some thick tights - it's turning into my winter staple! Also I bought this bag in the Urban Outfitters sale and I wear it literally everyday - I feel like it adds a lot to an outfit.</span><br />

I think they look so smart, tailored and chic, especially in the summer! Sadly I bought one a bit late for the summer months but im still super happy with this one from H&M. The cotton blend makes it a little less 'im in the office' and a bit more casual.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently got a new bag as a Birthday treat from my mum. We found this cute little brown leather bag in a Fossil Outlet shop for a bargainous £30! It's the perfect size to carry everything you need without over-packing and has plenty of pockets for all your bits and bobs...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So from doing this little exersise I have come to one conclusion: I carry around far too many lip balms. Small note though; if you haven't tried the little stick perfumes from Zara then get on it! They smell amazing and cost like £4 - perfect when you have a smaller bag.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My iPhone would of course also be in this stash, but I was using it to take the photo, so we can all imagine!</span></div>

All year I had told myself that I wanted to travel somewhere this summer as its the last summer before I finish University and head into the real world, so I thought it would be a perfect time to go. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I debated about asking friends to travel with or even going alone, but in the end I decided that I wanted a trip where I could where I could meet new people and be completely in control of where I was going without having to compromise with friends when it came to budget and location. Obviously there is a small risk that you will end up on a trip with people you don't get on with, but with 14 others on mine I thought that risk was pretty small. Luckily, my group was amazing and we all bonded extremely quickly - I certainly made some friends for life!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ccqq03iOjaI/VBc03BCUfNI/AAAAAAAAQJw/8NNFHszFokw/s1600/IMG_1033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ccqq03iOjaI/VBc03BCUfNI/AAAAAAAAQJw/8NNFHszFokw/s1600/IMG_1033.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And my final reason for booking through RealGap was the fact that once it was booked that was it. No working out routes, no booking accommodation, no booking transport... The itinerary was all organised for you and all that was left to do was booking flights. If you are going on your first trip alone it definitely puts you at ease as it's pretty risk-free and safe!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now the trip itself. Vietnam was absolutely stunning, I can't even describe how beautiful and interesting a country it is. With it's incredibly rich and recent history full of war and conflict, it is amazing how the country has rebuilt itself in a short time. Every place we went to was so different; Hanoi and it's crazy roads full of motorbikes and street food felt like worlds away from the quiet and stunning countryside scenery of Sapa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Itinerary had a few flaws, a few boring days where we felt like we were just wasting time, but on the whole there was a great mix of activities and excursions and also provided plenty of time to bond with the group over food and drinks in the evenings. The Vietnamese guides we had were great and taught us a lot about traditions and cultures whilst also being part of the group and, by the end of the trip, good friends.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether with RealGap, with friends, or alone - if you feel like trying something new and stepping out of your comfort zone - travel. Yes it can be expensive but as a friend of mine said the other day, it is what life is all about. Not saying you need to travel to the other side of the world either - my year I spent in France was the best year of my life so far and I am so thankful that I did it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a month in the most incredible country I have ever been, I am back! Vietnam was absolutely stunning; seeing its scenery, culture and history with a brilliant group of people made it the best month and exactly what I needed.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those of you familiar with the country, I travelled around the north; starting in Hanoi, then Ninh Binh and Tam Coc, followed by Hoi An, and then trekking through Sapa before finally having a week at the stunning beaches on Halong Bay. Every place we went was like a completely different country in itself, with completely different scenery and culture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you didn't know, I travelled with RealGap which is a company where you meet up with a random group of people and the whole trip is planned out for you. It was an amazing trip and I met some friends for life so if you are thinking about travelling and don't fancy going it alone, definitely check out RealGap <a href="http://www.realgap.co.uk/">here</a>. (Full review of the trip coming soon!)</span></div>

I mentioned this a few posts ago, but I am off travelling with Real Gap for 4 weeks, exploring North Vietnam. We start in Hanoi and end up on Halong Bay and I am <i>so</i> excited!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ever since returning from France in March I said to myself I wanted to do two things this summer; get an Internship for 3 months, and go travelling in a new country. I am so happy and lucky that I can say that my summer has turned out exactly as I hoped!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I finished my Internship of 3 months and 3 weeks. It was a great experience and eventhough the 9-5 got a bit tiring at times I am so glad I have done it and now have it to put on my CV for graduation next year. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So on to the packing...</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The weather in Vietnam is set to be 32 Celsius plus, with probably a few rainstorms as i'm encroaching a bit on rainy season! So I feel I am well prepared with my clothing so far, as you can see, I doubt I will run out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I had been smart I would have set up some scheduled posts, but alas, I have not been that organised. So I'm sure we will all survive 4 weeks without any posts! Make way for a lot more when I return in September :)</span></div>

We go every year and with the UK going through a heat-wave it was so unbelievably hot and lovely to have a few days chilling in the sun with a cider in hand.</span><div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a great weekend - eating, drinking and listening to music in the sun - what's not to love! You probably wouldn't know any of the acts as they are from all around the world; but that is the beauty of WOMAD, there is no pressure to see a long list of artists, but instead you just stumble onto some under-rated musical genius.</span></div>

She is one of those people who knows the best places to eat so I was certainly not dissapointed by our lunch at "Jak's". It has a kind of deli vibe where you pick your main and two sides. We both chose the Tuna and I had some pasta and greek salad on the side, was sooo yummy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it get's to hot weather, festivals, travelling.. I just can't be bothered with thinking about what jewellery to wear and switching it up daily. I especially can't <i>stand</i> it when you buy a new ring and it before you know it it leaves a blue trace because it's such poor quality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I generally opt for <b>Sterling Silver</b> jewellery that I never have to take off and looks good with pretty much anything! It doesn't have to break the bank either as you will see...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I apologise for the lack of posts recently but you know when life (and laziness) just gets in the way? I have been busy with work and also finally having a social life as my friends slowly come back from university for the summer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the lovely weather comes festival season. Now i'm not going to any big festivals this year sadly but there are always a few small local ones where I live which are always fun to go to with some friends. I went to 'Sherston Fest' (literally a field in the next town over) for the evening with some friends and I had such a great evening with some good music, good food, a few drinks and the sun shining.</span></div>

Since my recent stint living in France, I have become much much more aware of 'catcalling' - when a comment of a sexual nature is directed at you, most often in a public place. Girls, i'm sure a lot of you have experienced this at some point in your lives whether its the classic wolf whistle, car horn honk, or general comment about your appearance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PykNsvTve5M/U3eje4psFzI/AAAAAAAAFhg/qzeyTKt9C8s/s1600/publicspace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PykNsvTve5M/U3eje4psFzI/AAAAAAAAFhg/qzeyTKt9C8s/s1600/publicspace.jpg" height="320" width="317" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I was living in France I really noticed that it is definitely part of 'everyday life' in Europe; for me I rarely could walk around the city without hearing comments such as 'so beautiful' (when alone, definitely <i>not</i> seen a compliment), 'sexy lady', and even on the very rare occasion being followed. Don't get me wrong, I have noticed this in England also, just definitely not the same extreme.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I like to think I am quite a confident person and I can mostly brush off things like that by ignoring it, I feel it has deifnitely made me look at male strangers in a different way, especially those who are not my age. Instead of seeing them as any other person on the street, when I am alone and in an unfamiliar place, particularly at night, I feel my guard go up, which when you think about it is incredibly sad. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I know 99% of catcalling will never amount to anything more than that - it's still something that I feel needlessly makes women feel vulnerable, self-conscious, and even scared - and it's become all too frequent in today's society.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is quite an interesting video about this matter <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/apr/04/everyday-sexism-turn-tables-women-men-video" rel="nofollow">here</a> where the roles are reversed. Even-though it's quite funny to watch at parts, it's definitely thought provoking about what is acceptable as all of these scenarios are real-life experiences of women's 'normal' lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you think about Catcalling? I would love to hear your thoughts.</span><br />

However I have heard so much about the Stella perfume and when I saw it for £19.99 on Fragrance Direct I decided to go ahead and get it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is Stella by Stella McCartney in what I believe is one of the limited edition bottles so there are a few designs kicking about. I love the snake-skin design of this one and it is the perfect size for a handbag perfume! I won;t even try and describe the smell as I am terrible at that but just know that it smells beautiful - subtle yet sophisticated. Go and give it a smell when you are next in the perfume section! Definitely my new signature scent.</span></div>
