30 Day Snap #29

30 Day Snap....

I apologise again for lack of pictures recently. I've realised I'm not cut out to doing a picture a day. So to make up for it, I've taken enough pictures that will cover the days I have missed. Warning, it will probably be quite long.

#18
Today I bought a new skincare routine. I have quite dry/sensitive skin, so I seem to use a lot of moisteriser. I've already got the Simple Facial Toner, which I use to clean my face, and I've just got the Simple Facial Wash that I can use in the shower and some mornings, and the Simple Rich Moisteriser, which I've read is good for dry skin. I like Simple because it isn't too expensive and easy to find.

#19
Recently I've ran out of Lady Gaga's perfume which was definitely my favourite, I thought I would find a new one. My nan gave my mum this Daisy by Marc Jacobs and I fell in love with it immediately, so it's my new favourite now!

#20
I've been to loads of Open Days lately.

#21
I've also been reading ALL of these books! I'm on the last one right now.

#22
Just bought these as my holiday books! Hopefully they're good reads.

#23
My brother bought some new speakers so he gave me his old ones. They're pretty cool!

#24
I spent most of my time cleaning my room too. I thought I'd show you what covers my walls. This is about half of my room, walls and ceiling covered in magazine cutouts. It took me a while but I love it!

#25
I bought this new heat protect stuff from my local hairdressers. Hopefully it works!

#26
Barry M Gelly nail varnish in Greenberry. I love this nail varnish, and the colour is amazing!

#27
I lost this ages ago, and from tidying my room, I've found it again. It's a travel size perfume bottle that you can put any perfume into. It's light, and small enough for your bag, but holds enough perfume. It's a shame I didn't find it before the end of the college year, it would've come in handy.

#28
I have also recently started snacking on these biscuit bars. I needed a healthier option than a chocolate biscuit and so I found these. I love anything strawberry and these bars are perfect to snack on in college.

So I'm sorry it's been a while again. I'll make sure to keep up to date for these last few days.

Sorry!

Wow I apologise for the lack of 30 day snaps! I'm pretty behind. I have been quite ill lately but I know that's no excuse.
Hopefully I'll catch myself up soon and then I'll keep up to date.

30 Day Snap #17

I can't believe it's past the middle of June! It's gone so quick already!
Today I had college and it really tired me out :( I also had my second cervical cancer jab too which makes my arm hurt. So not good day really.

This is my picture for the day. I wanted to show off my nail varnish because I love it so much. It's a w7 Matt Green one and it's amazing. Doesn't take too long to dry and the colour is bright.
I also am playing my brother's Xbox because I miss him loads :(

30 Day Snap #16

So this is me and my Dad :)

30 Day Snap #15

Today I went to my first University open day at Edge Hill. I loved it immediately and I was really impressed. They were organised, trustworthy and really fun. I love the accommodation and the course is perfect for me. I wonder if the others live up to that standard?

30 Day Snap #13 & #14

So sorry that I'm two days behind on my June Challenge. I've literally been doing college then coming home, eating and then going to sleep. Not very interesting. To make up for these past days I'll show you two pictures I took on my holidays last year. It's only three weeks until my next one :)
Sorry again and I'll make sure I try and post them daily now.

Stay Happy

30 Day Snap #11 & #12

I've been so busy lately that I haven't been keeping up with these snaps! Yesterday I got locked out my house for THREE hours :( and I have a bunch of homework.
So these pictures won't be from today or yesterday but they are pictures I have taken recently.


Both of these pictures are edited from my recent trip to London. It was my first time in London and I absolutely loved it, so will definitely be back soon.
Sorry for the pictures, they will get better!

Stay Happy,
Sarah

30 Day Snap #10

Today I went back to college and it was just an average day. Very tiring.


But this is my picture for the day. On Saturday it was my mum's birthday and she got this. It's a metal hanger that you can hang your earrings, bracelets and necklaces on. It's just plain black and I thought it looked really pretty, I even want one.
I think it's from Claire's accessories.

Photography

On Thursday I went out with my friend to catch up and I also asked her if she would model for my photography. She happily agreed and I thought I'd show you the edited results of the day!













I hope you like them :) hopefully I'll be doing more shoots like this.

Stay Happy!

30 Day Snap #9

Race For Life!
So I did the Race For Life today and I really enjoyed it. We beat our goal of 50 minutes and we were really happy that we'd done it!

I'm definitely doing it for many more years to come!

30 Day Snap #8

I've just got back from the barbecue and I had a great time (note to self, maxi skirt is not good for playing hide and seek.)
But I took this photo of a black lab called Holly. She's so beautiful and well trained. In this picture she was waiting for me to throw her ball for her. 

I'm going to bed now, Race For Life in the morning :)

Stay Happy

30 Day Snap #7

Ahhh I missed yesterday! Sorry guys, I didn't really do much and then I slept over at a friends house. 
This picture was just taken last night and it's just me and all my friends.
Sorry it's bad quality, it' from an iPhone. 


I had a great night but I'll make sure that I remember to do todays Snap aswel.

Bikinis

I've just been to Tesco for some new bikinis because I saw their new range the other day and I was impressed. I'd been looking for a bikini with frills and things and couldn't find one that looked nice on me. But then I saw these in Tesco.


And I feel in love with them immediately.
The Pink one has tassles on the edges and I don't usually like pink but I love this hot pick colour.


And the other one is a coral colour with little detailed frills around the edges and on the cups. I love this colour so much and looks amazing with a tan.

Overall I'm really happy with both these bikinis and if your looking for new ones for your holidays, check out Tesco's range. They are amazing!

Pink top- £8
Pink bottoms- £5
Coral top- £7
Coral bottoms- £5
Which is quite good for bikinis.

Stay Happy!

30 Day Snap #6

So today I did a photoshoot with one of my friends that I hadn't seen in ages. I missed her loads so I thought I'd use her to model in my pictures for the day. It was so nice seeing her and we had a good catch up, whilst enjoying the sun and taking fun pictures. 
This is one of the best ones I think:


I love this picture of Jess because it looks quite natural.
If you're interested in seeing the edited versions of these, I'll probably do a post about them tomorrow :) with all my favourites.
Thanks for reading,

30 Day Snap #5

So today I finally finished my exams! Yes!
So this picture is still a bit rushed but it's symbolic of my test paper (obviously it isn't the real one)


Finally summer can start!.... even though I still have college, but oh well :)

Stay Happy,
Sarah

Summer!

So my exams are finally OVER! I'm so happy that I don't have to spend all my time revising. It means that I can spend more time and effort on my blog, and YouTube channel. I've already planned a photoshoot tomorrow which I'm really excited about!
Today I thought I'd share with you my summer bucketlist. I started this a while ago, and just occasionally add random ones onto the end, so to celebrate the beginning of summer I thought I'd share it with you!
1. Have a water fight. This is kind of a childhood tradition of mine to have a water fight with all my friends. I thought you could take cool pictures with it too.
2. Take loads of pictures, at least one everyday. I really want to document my summer so I don't forget it. That links to the next one.
3. Keep a summer scrapbook/journal.
4. Movie marathons with my friends.
5. Have a paint fight. Not a wet one, just a dry one. This looks AMAZING on pictures.
6. Make someone smile. Cheesy, I know but it brightens my day.
7. Stay positive. I don't want to waste my summer feeling down.
8. Tie dye lots! I want to buy loads of white cheap clothes from Primark and then tie dye then all.
9. Meet new people. I want to broaden my friends list, whether that's other bloggers or YouTuber's or just other people.
10. Shop a lot. I normally do this anyway because my birthday is in summer so I usually have money.
11. Go ice-skating. I love ice-skating.
12. Have barbecues. Just chilled out days with my friends.
13. Go to a concert. This probably won't happen because I don't have any tickets but I can wish can't I?
14. Redecorate my room. My room has been the same since I was little so I want to gradually change some things around.
15. Go to the beach. I love the beach so much but we don't particularly live close to one.
16. Start vlogging. Planning to start that soon.
17. Go to the zoo. Love the zoo.
18. Go to London for the day/night with friends, and go to covent gardens.
19. Make a rainbow cake, I mean who doesn't?
20. Go camping with all my friends.
21. Make more music videos.
22. Make a huge daisy chain.

So this is my summer bucketlist. I just add things as they come to me, and I know it's not possible to do all of these, it's just things that I'd love to do.
Do you have a summer bucketlist or a life bucketlist?

Stay Happy,

30 Day Snap #4

So today as usual I didn't do much. I stayed out in the sun, burnt...again and revised to my friend. This picture was taken on my iPod so please excuse the horrible quality :) 

But this is my last day of revision!!! Yes!!! I can't wait until my exam is over tomorrow. I have so much planned for the blog and for my YouTube channel so I'm excited :) 
Thanks for reading.

30 Day Snap #3

Today was another average day. My days won't be very interesting until after Wednesday because that's my last exam so I'm free to do whatever I want after then. But today I did go shopping, for some necessities, my mum's birthday present but I also got dragged into the Superdrug 3 for 2 deal that's on at the moment. So bad of me! But it was things that I'd had my eye on for a while.


So this picture is a pretty average make-up photo. This is my new Maybelline Colour Sensation in 910 Shocking Coral. This was £7.19 from my local Boots store. These are apparently really similar to the Revlon  ColourBurst Lip Butter which I also really want to try out. The colour is just as it says, coral, a pinky orange colour. I really wanted a colour like this because they are nice and bright for spring/summer, and I really love the colour.
I also wanted one of these because I'm not too keen on full glossy lipsticks, and I don't really like lip glosses either but this a lip balm, so it's softer than a lipstick but still has good colour pigmentation. This is really pretty and I can't wait to wear it.

I also bought the Maybelline Falsies mascara, Flared, because I was running out of my current Maybelline mascara. This had been recommended to me so I thought I'd try it out. That was £7.99.
So that means that I got free a Collection Illuminating Touch Concealer in Natural 2. I really needed a concealer and I saw that Zoe Sugg has suggested Collection concealers. Although I couldn't find her exact one I thought I'd try a collection one anyway. It would normally be £4.99.
So other than that I spent the day in the sun revising with my friend and sunbathing, I've burnt again...oh dear.

Burt's Bees Review

I kind of have a thing for body moisterisers, I have so many. But I normally only wear one at a time, when really I should alternate my moisterisers more. Recently I have been using:

The Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Body Lotion in Milk & Honey.
I've actually had this lotion with me for a while, I got it when I younger and didn't really care much for moisteriser but now I have grown up, and started using lotions more often, I actually really like this one. I got this as a present though and when I've just gone to look it up, I can't find this exact one. They seem to have started selling this one but with a different formula and the reviews aren't great, but you may be able to find this exact one on ebay or amazon or something.
Anyways from looking online this would've been about £10.00.
So I really like this moisteriser. When I first started using it, I wasn't too keen. The smell is quite strong and something that I wasn't used to but after a while you kind of get used to it and it actually smells lovely now. When I'm wearing the moisteriser I get lovely comments from people, saying that I smell nice. The smell lasts all day although I wouldn't say that your legs stay moisterised for 24 hours, but after application if leaves your legs feeling soft and well looked after.
I'd give this lotion 8/10 for the nice smell, nice coverage and level of moisterisation. I recommend it if you want to try something different.
Does anyone else use any Burt's Bees products? I have their lip balm too.
Stay Happy!

30 Day Snap #2

So this is my second Day Snap. 
Today I didn't really do much again. I just had a simple day in, revising, but also taking advantage of the lovely weather in England :)


This is just a picture of my cat (he seems to be the common factor in most of my pictures) enjoying the sun going down. The weather in England has been lovely, I've even burnt a little...ooops :)

Thanks for reading,
Stay Happy!

30 Day Snap 1


Today is the first of June finally! I love June because it's usually the start for SUMMER! Hopefully England will have a good summer this year.
So my first picture is pretty random and not very good but oh well!


So I didn't really do much today. Went for an early jog this morning, went food shopping, then revised all day.
This picture is the most interesting thing that happened in my day. My cat sat in a plant pot.
Now you all know how exciting my life actually is...

Comment if you're doing this too and I can check your blogs out :)
