11/52

Now that I've handed in my dissertation, I feel like a giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and this week has definitely felt calmer, despite being busy preparing for my trip! I've spent most of the week trying to get ahead of myself work-wise so I don't feel too guilty about taking six days off!

I thought this week I'd use this post to share all the happy moments of this week!

1. I saw a nutritionalist this week to find out if there were any changes I could make to my diet that would help with my anxiety, which has been pretty bad the last few weeks. She had a lot of interesting things to say, and I'm starting to make a few changes to both what I consume and how I consume it, to help feel better. I have to say, I feel better in myself already, so if you guys would be interested in hearing any of the tips, I'm happy to share them with you!
2. I got to attend a pretty exciting event on Saturday with Nip and Fab, where I was invited to a top secret London location to meet their new brand representative Kylie Jenner. I got to meet up with the wonderful Katy & Charlee, we ate delicious burgers at GBK, and chatted all things blogging. Hanging out with bloggers is the best, they don't mind when you pick a restaurant based on it's Instagram potential, or when you rearrange your food to create the perfect Instagram. 
3. Also, said Nip and Fab event left us with buckets of popcorn. 'nuff said.
4. With my birthday coming up this week, the last few days have been filled with lots of sneaking around from my loved ones! The boyfriend disappeared for a few hours on Friday on a secret mission for my mum, but he did come back with a little treat for me, a bag of Eyk Eton Mess Candy Kittens. These are amazing on many levels, they're natural, gluten free, Eton Mess flavoured, pink, and they're shaped like kittens. Amazing. 
5. I won a £50 Etsy gift card this month, and I've spent a lot of time trawling the site for the best way to spend it! I haven't spent it all yet (although I have bought a LOT of planner stickers), so any recommendations are welcome! 
6. I've had a lot of good lunches this week, a delicious Honest Burger post-dissertation-hand-in pitstop, a sushi & curry hangout with my babin' friend Daphne, a Wagamama date with The Boy as well as my aforementioned GBK blogger date. I'll be eating beans for the rest of the month, but it was so worth it. 
7. It's been SUNNY this week guys. What a revelation. I've worn my sunglasses four days this week. Long may it continue. 
8. The sunny weather made it seem appropriate to pull my Bath and Bodyworks Coconut Leaves candle out of hibernation. I burn this and pretend I'm sunbathing on a tropical island. Bliss.
9. I've been searching for some dresses that are more day-time appropriate, that I can wear with tights but also without when it's a little warmer. I checked all the usual high street suspects and found nothing, but did find two gorgeous striped numbers in Primark, for a bargain £5 each. Primark saves the day again.
10. I filmed my MAC Lipstick collection this week, and it made me fall in love with all the lipsticks all over again. I feel a week of bold lips coming along!

This next week is going to be so exciting for me, I have my birthday, my trip to Disney, and some more exciting plans, I can't wait to share them with you! Make sure you're following me on Instagram so you can keep up with my adventures!

Have a wonderful week! x
