Fabulous Friday!

It's Friday! Fabulous Friday! I've had a busy one so far, but have finally found a minute to sit down and catch up with some of my favourite bloggers, and write a little something myself before this evening!

I can't function in the morning without a cup of tea, (how British) so I started off my day with an appropriately captioned mug-full, and two chocolate chip brioche rolls from Mark and Sparks. If you've never tried them, I suggest you do! They're sooo good. My mouth is watering now just thinking about them. I know there's one more downstairs but 3 in a day definitely qualifies as greedy, really. Unless you all agree that it doesn't? In which case I'll go and eat it before anyone else does...

I then did my sister a huuuuge favour, she owes me now! Basically, she has her college end of year show next week, and needs a white, floor length, evening dress for the finale. We ordered her one off ebay almost 4 weeks ago, but unfortunately, ebay really let us down this time, and it never arrived! So I went trawling around Prom/Bridal shops this morning in the hope of finding something, which I finally did. She's only little too, 5" and a size 6, which made it more problematic, so I had to get her out of college to try one on. Luckily it was a perfect fit - clearly meant to be! - so that put an end to a big stress! I honestly thought we were going to have to get a wedding dress at one point, just as well not, I may never have left the boutique if I started looking. I could see them looking at me, calling me over. (I should add that I am in NO position to even be thinking about weddings, but how could any girl not get caught up in a slight daydream whilst surrounded by these beautiful dresses?! Just me? Oh.)

After that I've went to the gym - standard - and got ready to go out once Rob finishes work. He's taking me out for dinner tonight, and I think we might go to the cinema too. I've been so much recently; there's so many good films out that I want to see. I'll let you know if and what we see!

I've posted a picture of Bailey and Billy from when I got home; they were SO excited to see me, (although they're generally overexcited at the sight of anyone) just look at Baileys face! When he gets excited he does these funny little yaps, which he can only do with his head facing the ceiling. So when he finishes yapping he then faces you again with this mahoosive grin. I've caught him mid-way between the two, haha, bless him. And Fatbill is just waddling headlong towards my lap for a nice cuddle. Please don't be offended that we call him Fatbill, but he IS over double the size of Bailey, which is funny because they are brothers from the same litter. It's beyond me how he's managed to get so enormous! He's super cuddly, and he loves being carried around like a baby. :)

I might make some brownies before Rob gets here...hmm...I've got that Friday Feeling. Where I like to eat loads of food. Haha. 

I hope you all have a Fabulous Friday! Any plans? Anyone else going to the cinema tonight? 

Speak soon!

HEY Y'ALL

Hello and welcome!

I'm Sammy. I have decided to start a blog to share my opinions, tips, and and any other thoughts that may spontaneously burst into my head. Oh, generally related to beauty, fashion, girly..things..!

I'm 21, from Essex. Stop right there if you're going to accuse me of being a stereotypical Essex girl. Yes, I have 2 little dogs,

(#fatbill and Bailey. Ma babies)

I'm not object to fake tan, well, I am if it's quite clearly fake..you know what I mean. I like a healthy glow! I like having my nails done, but not tips, no claw-like talons please. I love false eyelashes. I also dabble with hair extensions.....

However, as much as I love high heels, I don't own a pair of white stilettos, I don't carry my dogs around in a bag, and I definitely don't have my hair extensions down to my waist, all one length, eurgh..oh, and I wear my lashes for a reason, not just to pop to the shops. And, even though I've lived in Essex all my life, I've never been to Sugar Hut...Glad I've got that off my chest! I always feel the need to state everything to make it clear y'know?

Moving on.. 

I'm a professional dancer, so having good hair and makeup, and your general appearance is very important. It means I've tried and tested a lot of make up in my time, especially considering that up until very recently, I had quite aggressive eczema all over my face, so I've learnt which products are actually good for sensitive skin. For example, I can't use anything from Clinique!

So what would you like to know, beauty and fashion related? 

My favourite perfume is Marc Jacobs Daisy, and Diesel Fuel For Life for standard day wear.

The skincare product I can't live without is my Beauty Flash Balm from Clarins.

A recent find that I now will continue to buy is Lipcote; you brush it on your lips after applying a base, blotting, lipstick, and blotting again. It is AMAZING. I will definitely write about that later, it's definitely one to add to your collection!

Aaand, my favourite all body moisturiser is a tub of Cocoa Butter from the Body shop. 

I think that's it for now! Epic first post is EPIC. 

I'll write about my shopping haul from yesterday soon. :)
