Back In Your Head

Hey loves,


Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, I worked for the whole thing but I can't complain as I need the money badly.  Today I went into my old college (university to all you British ladies) to visit my lovely friend Sheenagh, I hadn't seen her since November so it was great to catch up.  I also was lucky enough to bump into a few of my other friends while I was there which was really nice.  I have to admit, as much as I love not being in college anymore I really am missing seeing my friends every day, things aren't the same without them.  Changing courses was the biggest decision I've ever had to make but it was definitely worth it.  Have any of you guys dropped out of college or changed courses?  How did you find it?  I would love to hear some of your experiences and see how you dealt with it and settled into a new routine.

Under The Bridge

Hey loves,


Hope everyone is having a happy tuesday.  I was in class all day and then my sister and her lovely friend Leyna collected me.  We did a spot of shopping and then I had a piggy moment and bought myself a chicken fillet wrap, hummus and pancakes! YUM!!


Now I'm sitting searching the interweb-thingy for some inspiration on Geisha makeup, we're doing it in class tomorrow so I want to be nice and prepared.  Super excited to start getting into the fun makeup, we'll be doing fantasy, characters, era and lots of other interesting things.


Another short aul post from me today.  I'm off to nurse my food baby, night night.

Take it Easy

Hey loves,


I am SO sorry for my absence lately, I've not been myself and also have been super busy with work and class.  I'm back now and hopefully will be blogging lots.


Just a short one today from me.  I bought myself pure coconut oil a few days ago to treat my eczema with.  I bought a 453g tub from Holland and Barrett and it cost me around 16 euro.  I was shocked by the price of it, so hope it'll be worth it.  I have been suffering quite badly with my eczema lately so wanted to try this as I'd heard so much about it.  I have this unsightly and burning dry skin on my eyelids, around my mouth and nose and on my hands.  It's so painful and nothing I try ever works (e45, silcocks base, vaseline, shea butter).  I'm going to use it daily as a moisturiser and drink a spoon in my tea as well.  I'll report back in a few weeks with a review.


In the meantime I'd love if you ladies can give me some tips on treating my eczema.  I'd also like to hear if any of you have eczema and your experiences with it.


That's all for now,

Liebster Blog Award

Hey Loves,


So just wanted to say I have been awarded a Liebster Blog Award by the lovely Serena of http://bebrokebestylishbeslightlyboho.blogspot.com/.  I will admit I hadn't a clue what this was, but maybe now it means more people will read my blog and hopefully like what I have to say.  Thanks S :).  Right now I can't think of any blogs to award this to, there's too many that I love so much.






One more thing, if anyone loves to look at fun quirky makeup check out this girl Haley she's in my class and absolutely great.


That's all for now,


Lori

Here Comes The Sun

Hello loves,


I've decided I'm going to title each of my posts with the name of one of my favourite songs so you lovely ladies can get an idea of the kind of music I listen to.  This song is an absolutely beautiful song by The Beatles.


I started back in class today and it was a shock to my system, getting up at such an early hour nearly killed me.  Can't wait to get back into the swing of things again and sort my sleeping pattern out.


Yesterday I stayed in and got myself prepared for going back to class.  I had a comfy day with a big baggy jumper and a pair of leggings.  Here's a peak at my awesome jumper.  I got it in the mens section of Penneys.




My sister was out shopping yesterday and saw a pair of shoes that she thought I'd like.  Not only do I like them, I LOVE them!!!!  They are so comfy and will go perfectly with my Galaxy leggings.  What do you guys think?




That's all for now,

Marakesh Express

Hey loves,


I thought I'd do a little outfit post from the other night.  Photos are taken off an iPhone so not the best quality, also I MAY be a little bit tipsy ;)  I wore my trusty AA Disco Pants (as per usual) and a gold metallic top that my sister bought in Penneys.







The girl in the pictures with me is the ever beautiful Italian BABE that is Stephanie Ricci.  Check out her blog here.  She has such chic style.


Short and sweet post.  Thanks for reading.

If I Could Save Time In A Bottle..

Hey loves,


How are you all?  Is the weather crazy where you are?  It's absolutely awful here, feel like my house is going to cave in on me.


Having a quiet night in tonight watching NCIS and painting my nails.  What do you think?  Have such an addiction to this beautiful metallic purple GOSH polish.  You like the leopard mix?




Have to do five makeup looks for class and am finding it impossible to find models.  Thankfully one of the girls and her little sister are coming over tomorrow morning for me to do their makeup.  Maybe if I'm lucky, they'll let me put some pictures of their makeup up here tomorrow.


Going out tomorrow night to a going away party, one of the girls I went to school with is moving to Edinburgh to study nursing.  I'll try do a quick post before I go out, show off my makeup to you lovely lot.


That's all for now,


Lori

P.s. The title of this is the title to one of my favourite songs ever - Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce.  Do me a favour and have a listen, tell me what you think.

New Year, New Start

Hey ladies,


Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and a great NYE.  I had a really nice quiet Christmas day with my sister and parents.  We stayed in and had a HUGE feast and lots of yummy wine.  I ended up in bed at 7.30 after a glass of baileys and a few too many chocolates.  Got some gorgeous presents from my family and my boyfriend.  Think my two favourite presents are the AMAZING Blackmilk Galaxy leggings I got from the other half and my cute onesie from my sister Lesley








Last night (NYE) I had the most relaxing night ever, stayed in with my lovely boyfriend, ordered a curry and had a few beers.  Absolute bliss!!  My parents were away with friends so the house was nice and quiet.  It was great to ring in the New Year this way, rather than being rip-roaring drunk and stuck in town not being able to find a taxi.


Tonight I went out with the family to our favourite thai restaurant in Malahide.  They know us so well in there that we get drinks on the house at the end of our meal (nom nom I had midori and champagne).  Was a lovely evening but I'm ready to curl up in my jammies now and maybe read a book.  SO jealous of Mammy, she got a kindle off Daddy for Christmas.


Thanks for all my lovely new followers by the way,
Night night,


Lori

(P.s sorry for the awful photos, they're taken with my Blackberry.  Can't afford a camera, have to pay off my course which is costing a fortuuuune!!)
