My 20th Birthday - Haul

I would like to firstly apologise for my lack of posts recently! I've been Ill and then I was so busy for my birthday that I just had no time or energy to put enough effort into a post and didn't want to write a half decent one just to fill a gap. 

I had such an amazing birthday weekend and that is all thanks to my amazing family and friends!

I went out for the day in Liverpool with my family and my boyfriend which was lovely and did a fair bit of shopping. I've taken pictures of the things that I bought whilst in Liverpool and a few bits and bobs that I received from my family and my boyfriend's family too.

I finally took the plunge and bought the Naked 3. So far I have been so so impressed with it. I have quite small eyes and so the lighter colours seem to really compliment them and make them pop! I will be hopefully be doing a full review soon!

I love the style of the keyring and notebook that my boyfriend's mum and auntie bought me! They look lovely in my room too and I've found a nice way to display them. I was thinking about doing a 'room tour' post so let me know if you would like to see that. 

I also picked up a lovely backpack style bag from Forever 21. I love the fact that it never falls off my shoulder like my other everyday bags and It's so spacious. It's great for carrying my things around uni .

My little brother got me a custom made Smiths mug with a painting of Morrissey on that a family member did. He paints custom canvasses and so this has real sentimental value to me!This goes perfectly with the T-shirt that I bought from HMV (fangirl alert)!!!

I also popped into MAC and picked up 'Creme In your Coffee' which is a lovely Cremesheen Lipstick and MAC Iridescent powder in Silver Dusk which I am loving as a highlight or just adding a little bit to my foundation for a lovely glow.

I had such a great weekend seeing family and picked up lots of things from my wish list! I also had this amazing salad in Pret, Crayfish and Avacado! Yum!!!

I'd love to know what's on your wish list! Drop me a comment below!

LOVE

Goodbye 2013 - Hello 2014!

This is going to be a slightly different post for me. I'm aware of the fact that my followers probably don't know all that much about me, so I thought since I had a free afternoon, I would write a chit chat sort of post. I  wanted to round up 2013 in my little world and get ready to welcome in 2014 

A lot has happened this year and although there hasn't been anything major (apart from going to uni of course!) I feel like my life has changed a lot. Obviously I haven't seen my friends and family as much over the past few months and that's been a really weird change as I'm used to being at the most 10 minutes away from the people I love! I passed the 3 year mark with my boyfriend that just confirmed the seriousness of our relationship and suddenly it felt so real. Up until that point in August I did see us being together forever (soppy alert!) but it still felt kinda new. We went on our first holiday together in June and yes it was only Center Parcs but it was lovely to go away together and that was another first for us.  Next year it will be 4 years and theres something about that that seems so so much longer than 3!! 

Turning 19 was weird for me, I was so used to being 18 and I felt like it was a really fun age, plus I had really bad tonsillitis for my 19th birthday and ended up going to bed at about half 10 while all my friends carried on the party downstairs. Hopefully this years birthday will be a little more exciting for me!

As far as aims go for 2014 It's pretty simple. I want to become a much more successful blogger because I love it. I couldn't care how many followers or readers I have and although it's even so lovely to chat to some of you and I love reading your comments and replying! It's definitely the highlight of my day when I get to read through your lovely comments. Not only does it help me improve my blog and tailor what I'm writing to what you guys love but I also really like responding to your comments and checking out your blogs too! I like to get to know the people who are reading my posts! I would love to continue my Leesha Loves series and I'm hoping to fit in another series when I get back to uni. 

I would absolutely love to know if theres anything at all that you would like to see differently or any requests you have for the coming months. I'm always up for ideas and tips! 

I would also like to include more beauty reviews on my blog as again It's something that I really enjoy doing and I buy enough beauty products to be able to write as many as I can!

I need to get fit for July and that really doesn't seem like long enough! My own personal problems tend to get in the way a lot and I've been anywhere between a size 6 and a size 16 over the years! Who knows I might find a happy medium in 2014 and finally be happy with my body! That would definitely be nice! 

Then theres the simple things. I want to wear more lipstick, I would like to watch films that are outside my usual Rom Coms, British Drama's and the odd Blockbuster. I want to go for more walks and get more sleep. I want to grow my hair and always have my nails painted. 

I do want to start some sort of Love My Body series but I guess I'm half afraid of failing and then the whole series being ruined so I'm gonna have to have a think about that one. What do you guys think?

I have a lot of posts already planned for January so keep your eyes peeled and keep in touch! I will never stop loving receiving comments and emails from you guys. It blows my mind how anyone can care about what I write so I absolutely love talking to you all!

What are you looking forward to in 2014?

LOVE

Leesha
