Haul

Hello everyone! It’s been a long while since I last posted a video (4 months, to be precise), so I thought I’d start off the new year as I mean to go on. Kind of.

I was very lucky to have been gifted quite a few books for Christmas, so I thought I’d make a quick (ha ha…) video showing you all what they are, and also to tell you about my reading goal for 2015 – which is adventurous to say the least!! My reason for going all bookish on you is because I probably read a maximum of 10 books last year, which I think is probably the least ever books read for me! I am a total bookworm and I fully intend to reinstate my hobby into everyday life.

Let me know what you think in the comments – did you get any books for Christmas? Do you wish you read more? For me it’s mostly time constraints – I feel like I have so many things I want to do and reading requires at least 30 mins commitment every time you sit down (or in my case, half a day!). Anyway, before I ramble so much you won’t watch the video, here it is.

Hey everyone… you may have seen it already (I uploaded it on Friday and put it on Facebook but somehow didn’t get round to posting on here… I’m sowwy!) but I have created my first ever VIDEO! Yep, that’s right, I decided my rambling could no longer be confined to the written word – so you get to have EVEN MORE of me (if you want – no-one’s forcing you, hehe 😉 ).

What do I have planned for my new channel? – Though this was little more than a half-formed thought a week ago, I’m beginning to get an idea of what I want to use this channel for. At the moment it’s going to be more of the chatty things; reviews of beauty products will in general be confined to my blog, but things like hauls, monthly favourites, rambling thoughts and other things will be making appearances on my YouTube channel. I am open to suggestions so if you are as nosy as I am, please give me as many as you have!

…Hope you enjoy! If you do, don’t forget to thumbs up the video and subscribe to my channel for more – I’m hoping to upload a new video every week 🙂

Okay so today I decided to catalogue my indie nail varnish collection. I will warn you now, it’s a long one!! At the time of writing, there’s 25 pictures, (this has taken me FOREVER to edit!) and I do plan to update it in the future as I buy more polishes. I hope I don’t need to say that this isn’t a boasting post, I personally love seeing other peoples’ collections and learning their tastes in colours, and seeing their favourite brands, etc. etc. so I find this type of post interesting. Plus there are polishes in my stash that don’t get enough love, so I thought it would be nice to create a little shrine  showcase of them. 🙂

Grab a cuppa – hope you enjoy!! 😀 In no particular order:

Emily De Molly: Violet Days, Falling Skies, Super Vixen, Pyrite, Cosmic Forces, Oceanic Forces, Dark Depths, Black Forest, Serenity.

Don’t hate me… I’m so late with this post I may as well merge it with my April Nail Polish Haul… oops! March saw me cutting down my spending a little, as I was only paid half wages that month due to some time away from work. Even so I think I managed to pick up some very pretty pretties!

I know, I know… it’s already near the end of March and I’ve only just got this up – whoops! I am extremely busy at work, I am just about to be promoted to Team Leader (yay!) which will possibly take up even more of my time so I need to find a way round pleasing my work time, my blog time and of course my personal life, all at once.

So here is part 2 of my February haul… this part is the ‘salon haul’ I mentioned in part 1 – a lovely lady who was closing down her beauty business kindly allowed me to buy all the following polishes from her for a total of £80, which considering the RRP of most of these polishes and the fact that most of them are barely used, is an incredible bargain! I am so grateful 🙂
