Be Happy, Be Inspired

Hi,
 I wanted to share a few pictures of the makeup I wore to my work christmas party, 
Before                                                   After




 



I used a Catrice Palette previously mentioned here for the shadows and the glitter eye liner is by Collection. The photo's do not do it justice, the glitter liner is gorgeous. The black liner is by 17 and I used Clinique High Impact mascara, That's about it!

*excuse the terrible skin/spots. 

Thank you for reading.

 *I'm going to moderate this a little as I'm in the UK and some of it doesn't make sense. 

1. Favourite Candle scent?
I'm loving Sandal wood at the minute.


2. Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate?
Coffee all the way, the only thing that gets me out of bed on a cold morning.



3. Do you switch up your makeup routine for the season?
Generally my skin gets a little drier so I switch to more moisturising products. I tend to wear different perfume as well, less sweet.

4. Favourite Christmas food?
I'm a big food lover, so its pretty hard for me to choose a favourite. lets just say the whole christmas dinner ensemble. 




5. Hats or scarves?
Scarves. Hats just make my hair a mess.

6. Most worn sweater?
anything with a hood generally.

7. Must have Fall nail polish?
Again, I love nail polish so choosing a favourite is pretty hard. I tend to favour darker polishes, gun metal grey, dark purple, but an all time favourite is Rage by Orly. It's so pretty and perfect for the party season. 



8. Football games or jumping in a pile of leaves?
Going to have to decline both of those. Do people really jump in leaves?

9. Skinny jeans or leggings?
Leggings or tights (Primark's Extra Cosy tights are perfect for winter.)

10. Boots or Uggs? 
Has to be boots. I never caught on to the whole Ugg boot thing, plus they seem so expensive for a glorified pair of slippers. 

11. What is your #1 favorite thing about winter?
I love wrapping up warm, and watching all my favourite xmas films. and snow. 



12. Do you have a song that gets you in the Christmas mood or just a song you're loving at the moment?
Slade's - Merry xmas Everyone is the one. 

Thank you for reading.

Hi there.

so... it's been a while hasn't it? what 3, 4 months? 
I've been meaning to update this blog for a while but it just hasn't happened. Better late than never right? And what better time than just before Christmas! well I say that it's still a month away but I'm so excited I could burst. I'm thinking about doing a few tag posts to get me back into the swing of things, but I guess I should do a little update first. 

I'm working full time now, which is good. I'm really enjoying it and it's not in retail which is awesome. Last week I graduated, which was actually pretty cool. The ceremony was as the O2 arena (indigo2). My mum came to stay with us for a few days and I took time off work to spend with her and my brother, it was lovely.

                                              

Other than that I'm just working, and enjoying my weekends off. 
I'm going to keep this brief, so maybe this will be a comeback? Maybe not. But for now, hello! Happy holidays! And thank you for reading.

xoxo

Firstly, Just take a few minutes to take in what you can see above…




Ok, Ready?… good. When I heard that Five Guys were opening a UK branch I was so excited to try it. If you haven't seen this, and subsequently this please go and watch it and then return. Anyway… so Five Guys.. We decided to go on a Friday lunchtime, initially we thought we'd have to queue for quite a while, being that it was lunchtime, and a Friday, and 27 degrees, but actually it was surprisingly 'fast' which is how I like my 'fast food'. 

I won't go into too much detail about the restaurant because I don't think it's relevant, it has a busy atmosphere, lots of staff, lots of customers. You can eat in or take away etc it's a nice place and the layout is nice but it's not the kind of place you go to for the atmosphere. You go for the burger, and the one I had yesterday quite frankly could have been handed to me by a tramp in the street and I would have devoured every inch of it the same way. 
I decided to go for a bacon cheeseburger, with lettuce, mayo, and grilled onions. I also had a side of 'light' fries, but more on those later. 

The burger comes with two patties as standard, or you can order a version with just one. All the ingredients are prepared fresh the same day, the burgers, salad even the fries are hand cut in the morning. They even have a board telling you where 'today's potatoes' are from. Apparently, they don't have fridges, because everything is so fresh and they do not need to keep anything long enough that it needs to be refrigerated.  I can't confirm whether that is actually true but it was written on the wall so? Either way, I'm impressed. 

The burger was amazing. I literally can't fault it in any way. The meat was juicy and tender, the toppings actually stayed in the bun. I was so impressed with how well it kept its form, like literally, nothing spilled over the edges and it didn't fall apart as you were eating. I don't know how they do it. The combination of toppings was perfect for me and you get to mix and match so you can pretty much have it however you want for no extra cost. Talking of which... Was it worth the £8+ price tag? I'd have to say I'm still undecided on that one,  it was amazing but £8 amazing? I don't know. That's pricey for a burger. Even in London, that's expensive. But it was a damn good burger. From the toasted bun to the crispy bacon. Everything just worked for me.

Now I want to discuss the fries... I have to say these were a letdown. Don't get me wrong they had a nice flavor but they just didn't 'bite back'. They just weren't crispy enough for my liking. The portion was huge even for their smallest and if I'd have known I would have gotten some to share rather than had my own portion. Depending on your viewpoint having big portions may not seem like a bad thing, you get your money's worth but at the same time if half of them are just going to go to waste I'd rather just not bother. I wouldn't get fries if I went again because they didn't really do anything for me. 

I did however love the drinks machine (as sad as that sounds). You basically got a choice of about 50 flavours, from regular to diet/zero of all kinds like coke, Fanta, sprite etc, and then a choice of different flavors Inc lime, fruit punch, vanilla... And loads more. I liked having such a variety. So thumbs up on that one.

Here's how I rate it:-
The burger: 8/10
The fries: 4/10

Overall I'd say it's definitely worth a visit, as for whether I'd go again? For the burger, yes. If Patty & Bun were closed... But it is still worth the initial visit and like I said... The burger is really good. I just think for a fast food joint it's a little overpriced. 

Anyone else been to Five Guys yet? 

As always, 
Thank you for reading.
