A day in the life...

So its Saturday, I thought a do a bit of a day in the life type post. Mostly because i'm incredibly bored of revision and i'm taking a little break so why not make a post. This is purely little bits of my life from today.

 Stacks of revision, is anyone else feeling the pressure of looming exams or essays? My second year assessments start on the 9th May so definitely starting to get the fear! I've spent most of my day in my room reading through notes and making revision cards, also researching for my dissertation proposal. I don't hate revision, I do like learning and studying, as lame as that sounds but I hate the thought of having to remember everything for one single exam, makes me very anxious, oh well preparation is the key!


So I've had this on in the background today, really good film, it's based on The Borrower's by Mary Norton but based in Tokyo. I adore Studio Ghibli films, particularly directed by Hayao Miyazaki, my favourite is Howl's Moving Castle. Definitely give these a go if you're looking to watch something a bit different, the artwork is amazing and the music is always good.



Okay so I was a bit naughty, I took a walk this morning just to get some air, and somehow I ended up in Boots with this in my hand...Anyway its Revlon's Lip Butter in Peach Parfait, I saw it when I bought Berry Smoothie a few weeks ago but held off until I'd tried Berry Smoothie. Well I loved the product so I picked up this today. It was £7.99 which i'm happy to pay because I don't often find lip sticks or glosses that I like. But I love these so much, mositurizing and the colours aren't too in your face. Peach Parfait is a lovely buildable peachy pink colour with a slight shimmer but again as with Berry Smoothie not highly noticable.


Last but not least i've been stuffing my face with these bad boys today. I consider myself to have a reasonably healthy diet...and then exam period comes along and it goes out the window. These are soo good, ridiculously unhealthy but oh well, they taste amazing. I don't know how readily available this flavour is in the UK I buy mine from a retro sweet shop in Taunton and apparently they also stock them at Fizzy Lips in Bristol so i'll have to have a look!

Anyway I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend :)
