Manchester Visit

Hi everyone,

I'm currently sitting in a hotel in Manchester as I'm visiting for a few days to shop. So far it's been a really enjoyable experience. It's strange really, I come from a very small town, it isn't a village or anything but it's small :) Theres such a huge difference when shopping here compared to the North East. Even Newcastle which I thought was an amazing city is not as good as here. I'm loving this great piece of retail therapy right before school, it's perfect to quickly purchase some new key statement pieces for Autumn and Winter.


Tonight, I'll be watching 'The Rise of The Planet of Apes' I think thats the title and hopefully it'll be a good one. Fingers crossed! Afterwards I reckon I'll be checking out the night life as this city could potentially be on my University list.


Also I wanted to share another tip with anyone who is moving away for their studies and perhaps living in dorms or their own place. I know that the TV licenses are expensive and many students choose not to pay them and do without a TV and instead use their laptop which is a great idea. My tip is to start to invest in lots of box sets or DVD's so that on the days that you have spare time or want something in the background while your getting ready then you can use them. It's also perfect if you need your daily dose of TV, I actually don't want that much TV but I love a good box set which you can watch regularly any time you want :)

Some of the box sets I'll be investing in over the course of this year are:
  • True Blood
  • CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York
  • Sex and the City
  • Will and Grace
  • Friends <3 love it!
  • Gossip Girl
  • Greys Anatomy
  • Damages
  • The Hills and The City
  • The Big Bang Theory
  • The Inbetweeners
Good Luck everyone! I fully recommend you all visit Manchester it's a wonderful and exciting city! Hope my tip helps someone!
Love Beth

my second year of college plan

Everyone is in the same situation right now, we are all excited for the new start in September or October for our studies and we all want to make the start fresh and almost a new us. For example those with a new hair style or a new wardrobe. I'm the same and I thought it would be cool to show my plan and what I want to do to improve my studies. I do this every year and sometimes stick to it for awhile but eventually I never follow through with my plans. haha! Anyways I thought some people might enjoy it or even do it too!

  • write out my personal statement and my University applications
  • choose the five Universities I would like to apply to go to
  • new bag for College
  • new files for my work
  • break in several shoes
  • buy a pair of cream loafers
  • new tops 
  • driving lessons! 
  • study for my theory test
  • get my hair cut and dyed lighter
  • buy The Colour Purple and Macbeth also read them!
  • buy German Dictionary 
  • buy highlighters
  • buy pencils
  • buy pens
  • buy paper
  • buy memory pen 
  • buy extra hard drive
I recommend everyone do these lists they help immensely with organising and preparing for the new academic year. Lots to buy but this is the perfect time to buy everything as there are a lot of good deals in stores, with some things I've noticed to be more than half price!

Good Luck!

Nail Polish Looks

Hi everyone :)


I have recently gotten into painting my nails doing my third finger a different colour on each hand and most of the time with glitter or sparkles! I think this is such a cute and eye catching look and I have some pictures to show you! I've been doing it all summer and I'm addicted!

So before I show you the pictures I'm not the greatest nail painter in the world! So it might be a lil messy! haha! Usually I clean up my not so steady hand with a cotton wool bud dipped in nail varnish remover :)

Sorry if these images aren't very clear, I didn't use my camera, taken on an Iphone.



Now for the messy one! Hoepfully you can still see the look :)


Here's a list of some of the looks I think would compliment each other
  • pink nails and two green nails with silver glitter
  • lilac nails with two silver nails with sparkles
  • red and two black nails with gold glitter
  • white and two icy blue nails with sparkles
  • plain nails with gold glitter 
  • orange nails and two yellow nails with gold glitter
Hopefully this idea will inspire you
Good Luck!
Beth xoxo
