Weekend Catch Up 4

I'm getting in a really bad habit of writing these on a Monday, woops! Last week was birthday week! Yaaaay. I've also been having lots of fun being an intern, it's really given me the little lift I needed, really enjoying it. Without giving too much away I can really see myself settling in a job like this one. Being in London all week I haven't had much time to blog, hence the lack of posts, but I've got lots of ideas bubbling away in my head:)
HOW DID I ALMOST FORGET TO SAY?! I saw The Hunger Games on Sunday at the IMAX as a birthday treat. I read the books at the end of last year and have been counting down the days until this film came out, and it did not dissapoint! I loved it so much, it was perfect. I recommend everyone reads the books and see's the film!!!! I cried like an idiot the whole way through.
Pictures here of my nail wraps, birthday sunshine, jigglypuff cake! birthday meals, birthday chocolate, birthday sunset and my crazy boyfriend.
Hope you all had a lovely week! x

Weekend catch up 2

Retail therapy in Topshop, Teenage mutant ninja turtles pyjamas, pink and gold fancy nails, the cat and I doing some late night job seeking.

Oh heyyy! ;)

How has your week been for you? I'm sorry to report that mine has been a pretty miserable one. Boo. I found out at the beginning of the week and I am being 'let go' from my current job, which to be honest has given me the kick up the bum I needed. I've been meaning to leave that job for a while now as I don't enjoy it at all and it isn't really what I wanted to do with my life, I won't say too much. The bad news is I now have until the end of this month to find my dream career, and I have to get it right this time. I'm always kicking myself for not going after exactly what I want and just settling for something mediocre. There are so many careers that I am constantly wishing I pursued, and I'm not exactly reaching for the stars with the jobs I visualise, they are completely plausible! I need to believe in myself a little more. SO after that teeny tiny rant, I have been scouring the internet all week and applying to these 'dream jobs' and it's been very stressful. Fingers crossed I hear something very soon! Until then I'm going to be poor and unemployed, so no fun for me. I'll sit at home with the cat.

The good news is my blog is doing tremendously! This week my followers have DOUBLED! Wow, thank you very much guys, and hello to all my new followers :) it really is a nice 'pick me up' to see your lovely comments after a rough day.

Something else this week that's quite exciting is I've been entered into a nail bloggers competition for Collection2000 , or just 'Collection' as I believe they have changed their name to, which is very exciting.

In other news I have been watching lots of anime and pokemon films to make me feel better. I'm allowed!

Weekend catch up!

Weekend catch up you say? But it's Monday Jess!! I know I know, but the plan is to make this a weekly type post every weekend, lets see how it goes! Not a good start.. woops.
So, what have I been up to? Lots of exciting stuff.
-At the beginning of the week I went to a very nerdy convention Hyper Japan in Earl's Court, and if you know me you'll know I love my Japanese stuff, from my nerdy obsession with anime to pokemon and nintendo. Don't judge me! haha. It was really fun, got to taste some proper Japanese cuisine and look around lots of little stalls with bit and bobs, fun day out! :)
-All week I've been writing a job application - yes it takes me THAT long! But I like to perfect these things. Absolutely hate them though, does anyone else find interviews much more fun than writing applications?
-Been trying lots of different beauty nick nacks here and there this week, reviews coming your way!!
-It's been birthday week! 3 of my friends turned 20, which meant a  lot of celebrating, and quite frankly, I'm partied out! Had a fab time in Brighton and Roehampton though. Woop woop.
-I went to the Professional Beauty Show yesterday and had a spiffing time, bought lots of goodies and met Joey Essex... I know there will be mixed opinions on that one! Personally I've watch TOWIE a few times and know who he is... that's about it!
-Went on a sneaky shopping trip, Topshop have some amazing spring/summer looks, watch this space for some OOTD's !!

Some polaroids from Hyper Japan.

Life and such things.

Ahhh major photo splurge!
Yes my friend, that is pikachu! So I've just been up to my usual things since my last blog post, and in case you didn't know... it snowed! Even though I promised myself I would hibernate during this arctic weather, my friend managed to drag me out for some snow fun and a hot chocolate. To be honest I think it was the promise of a hot chocolate that swayed my decision to venture outside. We made a lovely snow cat as well!

Other times have consisted of general geekyness. Me and my boyfriend had a Star Wars marathon. Yes you read that correctly, and I bought a new game for the xbox, Disney Universe! And oh my god, for any Disney fans out there, this is amazing. Ha I swear it's a kid's game but I've been addicted. (loser) It's been really nice just being in from the cold nice and snuggly by the fire place with a good cuppa! Guilty pleasures.

Last weekend was the weekend of the IMATS show and.... I did not go :( I was ready to go go go when I got called into work and then the snow came down, so it was a bit of a failure. I'm absolutely gutted that I couldn't go, it looked amazing, really wanted to get some bargain make up brushes. Oh well there's always next year.

Been out on a few trips on the town with my lovelies! Despite the ridiculous weather we still dressed up in next to nothing and sky high heels, I'm surprised none of us slipped to our death on the ice.

OH and last night I went to see Olly Murs at Wembley, but I think I will do a post on that for all you Olly fans :)

Catch up & chit chat

So my new little blog has been up and running for about a week now and its still (extremely) fresh!! Buuuut I have lots of exciting ideas and thoughts wizzing round my head :) so stay tuned! Really looking forward to getting my next Glossy Box so I can do my first ever official review which should be fun, the last one was gorgeous but I had ripped it apart and had a go at everything in it before I even thought of snapping a few photos. As for me I've been having a very relaxing (lazy) week off of work, I've been reading lots of books, eating lots of crap, drinking lots of crap, watching crap tv. Nice. I had a little sad moment the other day taking all my uniform and things to return to my previous job, booooo! And no, I did not get fired! The decision to leave was entirely mine but I couldn't help feeling a little bit sad. Oh well. Onwards and upwards and back to my new job next week!
Oh also, I've been having so many ideas about things I want to blog about which are not strictly related to beauty or fashion but instead.... wait for it... gaming. Because if you didn't know already, I'm a massive dork. SO the idea of starting a gaming blog has also popped into my head! It's still early days though, baby steps.
