Turning 23

Thursday, 15 March 2018





(carrot cake of my dreams @societycafe in Oxford)

Okay, so just I'm drafting this as I sit at my desk with Lush's Cup O' Coffee coating the majority of my face. I feel pretty good about my current skincare routine (its been a week) and I've got to say that I've already noticed a difference in my complexion. I get those small red spots that just seem to stay on my face never coming to a head and I've decided enough is enough. Acquiring a new moisturiser, Glossier's infamous 'Solution' and a clay face mask I feel like I'm now on my way to having glowing skin by summer, fingers crossed.

So, I've recently turned 23.  Not that I was expecting to wake up and feel totally different, but 18 year old me definitely thought I would have my life totally sussed out by now. Not to say that I don't appreciate where I'm currently at, I do and I feel extremely fortunate to be able to study something I am so passionate about. My birthday was lovely. I went for drinks on Friday night with some close friends in London and I spent my birthday day with my family at home - which reminds me, there's a half eaten tiramisu in the fridge with my name on it, literally.









^ the places we went in London. Pizza Pilgrims and Ace Hotel in Shoreditch for drinks + dessert!

I've missed doing these roundup lists so here's a couple of things I'm loving at the moment:

I just finished rereading Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. I must've read this ages ago but it's honestly such a great book. It's made my morning commute 10 times faster. (Amazon - £5 paperback)
I got my nails done at Wah Nails last Wednesday and I'm completely obsessed with them! £55 - there are cheaper places you can go for sure but it was so cool in there, I'd definitely go again and it was such a nice treat for my birthday! (scroll down for photo)
I'm seeing so many good outfits on Instagram lately (this, and this, and this)
Been listening to a lot of music by a band called Wet, super chilled vibes ~
PAQ accessories on a budget video, easily one of my favourite channels out there at the moment (link)

Song of the day: These Days - Wet
