Summer Skin: Beginners Bronzer!


Only recently I've started adding a bronzer to my everyday make up routine. I used to be quite worried about using it, for fear that I would end up looking very orange or just wouldn't be able to blend it very well and end up with a muddy looking face. However, I decided to try it and after experimenting with many different products this is now my everyday bronzer.

Summer Skin: Best Gradual Tanner!



To some extremely pale girls like me, the thought of using fake tan just brings us out in a panic. Wanting to have a natural summer glow, but at the same time not wanting to look bright orange (and as someone from Essex, this is a sight I see a lot)! 

So what's a pale girl to do? The answer: A gradual tanner! Over the past few years gradual tanners have become the easiest and most affordable way to get a natural summer glow. After trying many different brands over the years Dove's Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion is by far my favourite!

Univeristy: Is it for you?


This time last year I had just finished my A Levels and was enjoying summer, waiting for my results in August to see if I had been accepted into my first choice uni. Come August I was ecstatic, having achieved AAB and going to my first choice university,

By December? I was hating my course, missing home and in the process of withdrawing from university. So, what happened? In all honesty, I'm not really sure. I think that I simply just didn't put enough thought into my course choice, university choice, and whether university was really for me. So I thought I would write the blog post, as something I wish someone would have said to me this time last year.
