Today was a lovely day, me and my bestie finally got a day off work together so we went for some pancakes at Boston Tea Party, it was so lovely to get to hear about everything she has been doing because recently I haven't seen her much. The sun also made an apperance so we decided to walk back from the station and then because we were in a crafty mood gave these origami dresses a go. We followed this tutorial which was super simple.
As a Graduation present, my Grandma took me for a Mad Hatters style tea party, it was great and I especially loved the building. The room we ate in was 1940s style and absolutely beautiful and downstairs they had a war time bistro full of memorabilia which took my Grandma back. Im definitely heading back for a steak their! I couldn't recommend the place more.
http://www.netherstowehouse.com/ 'Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.'
Ephesians 6:10-17 Today has been an okay day. Its strange going from uni to work, and a lot of my freedom has gone since moving back into the family home and I really value those days where I can be with friends and go do what ever I want, where ever I want. I think this time of transition between places is difficult and easy to get stuck in a rut, but I keep reminding myself nothing is forever, hopefully soon I will get to embark on another adventure, I just need to save to afford it, and try really hard not to forget who I have become over the past three years away!
I absolutely love the little squares of turkish delight, its such a treat and I particularly love the rose flavour. Anything rose flavour or scented and I melt and these two products from lush do exactly that to me, they smell good enough although I don't recommend trying it. I look forwards to having a shower with these because I know afterwards I will just smell delicious and also they leave my skin silky smooth. The Argan oil leaves a protective moisturising barrier that lasts for ages and although its slightly greasy its not overly powering'ly so. At around £15 a pot they are expensive but truly worth it!
Do you have any favourite Lush products? Im a bit of a lipstick hoarder but these are a few of my favourites, I tend to go for natural but better lip colours, my most resent addition is Estee Lauders Crystal Baby which is a pretty nudey peach. My favourite bright colour is a fuchsia pink called insanely it which is from Mac's sheen supreme collection, and potentially my all time fave is Patisserie from Mac in a Lustre, which is a nudey Today was my graduation. I was so proud of all my fellow students and really sad that University is over so soon, when the older students at freshers week told me the time would fly, I would agree but I didn't truly realise how quickly it was going to go!
I found wonderful friends who have taught me so much, and flatmates who were their through the laughs and the tears, they became some of my most loved ones, I will miss our dinners together and vegetating watching trash TV, listening to their days and telling them about mine, I was hugely blessed to have had the chance to live with them. I had a new romance, with all its butterflies and goofy moments learning about this new person who turned out to be truly great person who made me laugh a lot and brightened many a day and then unfortunately a new heart-break which taught me a lot about myself and encouraged some essential changes in my life. I joined a new church which blew my mind away, and introduced me to some of the most inspiring people and grew my faith, I was really blessed because they really made me feel apart of their wee family. I learnt new skills, from sewing to cooking and spent lots of nights far to drunk. Although at times it was really difficult I would happily do it all over again and wouldn't change a thing. So too everyone who has had their own journey CONGRATULATIONS! We did it! |
