<br />
Dear Father Christmas..<br />
<br />
I don't have much on my wish-list this year, maybe a new pair of boots seeing as I'm currently wearing last years, which have no soles and make my feet smell like death. Oh, and maybe a bum like Khloe Kardashian? We all want one of those, right?<br />
<br />
It's been a crazy eighteen months, I'm sure you've been keeping tabs. This time last year, the thought of anything Christmas related filled me with dread, for reasons I'm sure you understand, but things are different now. I'm different now. This whole year has been filled with wonderfully amazing adventures and I have stored away countless memories, that I will forever be grateful for. I have been on so many adventures, I met the most incredible person who has become my world. This year, Father Christmas, I cannot wait to wake up on that December morning and spend the day with my family, and so many of my favourite people.<br />
<br />
What I would really like, is to be sitting around our Christmas tree watching smiles spread across my loved ones faces, drinking a hot chocolate in my pyjamas until noon, a not-so peaceful Christmas lunch with my bat-shit-crazy (sorry) Gran, an evening with those who have welcomed me into their family with open arms.<br />
<br />
You see, I already have everything I could ever wish for. There is nothing else I need. I really don't mind if you'd like to skip my house this year, though I'll leave you a mince pie or two, there are others in the world that need your love more than I.<br />
<br />
Although, if you could just drop off those boots...<br />
<br />
Yours truly,<br />
<br />
Charlotte Rose<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Oh my God, can we just? Who doesn't love rose gold? The packaging on these beauties, melts my inner shallowness for pretty things. Add on to the fact, that these are all dark, vampy colours and damn, I am in lipstick heaven. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have always been a huge fan of Makeup Revolution, ever since they ploughed their way into the UK and Superdrug in 2014. They're cheap as Hell but the products are insanely brilliant. I have far too many of their lipsticks and their eyeshadow and blusher palettes and this week I decided I needed more, obviously.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have been lusting after these rose gold pretties for some time now after snooping around on Instagram, so when I waltzed into my local Superdrug and saw them stacked on the shelves, it was like it was meant to be. Did I mention the fact that it was 3 for 2 on ALL makeup items? I almost died. I think there are five colours altogether, but there were only four available and I chose to go for the gothic, darker shades. Diamond Life, Red Carpet and Private Members Club literally glide onto your lips and are seriously pigmented for a £3 lipstick. I'm not going to comment on the longevity much because basically, no lipstick lasts very long on my lips. Maybe I just talk and eat too much, who knows, but all three colours are stunning and I have definitly rekindled my love for Makeup Revolution.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I spent this weekend adventuring around London with three of my favourite people. Days in the big capital are usually a mad rush for me, Oxford Street meltdowns and panic Christmas buying, but this time it was a little different. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've never seen Big Ben (up close anyway) nor have I been to Buckingham Palace. Everybody wants to see where the Queen shits and sleeps, am I right? It was lovely strolling through the streets and taking in the sights rather than pushing my way through Topshop and wanting to punch everyone in the dick.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It was refreshing to be away from work, even if it was just for two days. It was the mini-break I needed and I'm ready to face the Christmas retail with fresh eyes and a clear(ish) mind. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I thought, seeing as it's been what, a little over three years? Since I started this little Internet space, I'd give you a little insight into me, myself and I. I'm stealing this little tag from the beautiful Sarah over at <a href="http://www.seethestars.co.uk/">seethestars</a> although I'm going to split it over a few posts.</span></div>

Anxiety plays a big part in my day to day life and is something I've decided to be a little more open about. The last eighteen months have been insane and it has taken it's toll, emotionally and physically. Sometimes it's suffocating, other times it's just a little irritating but I am learning to fight it and most of the time, I win. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">B - Books</i>. Oh my Lord, books. If I could spend my days wandering round Waterstones reading every last page, I would. I have now ran out of space in my room for any more books, which is an issue because I just keep buying and buying and buying. I feel like there is little better than starting a new book and falling in love with the characters, living in a little dream world and losing yourself in a fantasy for a while.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i>D - Different</i></b>. The difference in me, in the last eighteen months is crazy. This time last year, I would not of thought I'd be where I am now - which is happy. I was a shell of myself, compared to now. It's insane.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i>E - Emotional</i></b>. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, shall we say. Whether it's happiness, if I'm upset, if I want to rip someones face off - everyone knows about it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i>F - Family</i></b>. - My family have been my rock. I was devastated when I had to move back home but it has been incredible. I have loved being around everyone, I've loved coming home and knowing there is probably someone there waiting for me. I'm definitely a 'home bird' and couldn't imagine moving too far away from the mad house. </span></div>

Well , hello there. It's been a while, hasn't it? Oh, how much has happened in the last eighteen months. I'm not quite sure where to begin.<br />
<br />
Rather than go into every little detail, I'm not sure I'm quite ready to bare my soul to the world just yet, let's just say I had the very worst twelve months followed by the very best (almost twelve) months.<br />
<br />
As so much has happened, I think I'm just going to break it down and maybe write as and when I feel like it, rather than one huge (emotionally draining) post. However, I am back. I have fallen back in love with writing again. My posts won't be on set days, nor am I putting any pressure on myself to blog a certain amount of times a week. When I feel like writing, I will write and I will put my all into it. I've missed having this little space and I'm so excited to back into the swing of things (I have posted a few times already) and I'm looking forward to rambling away again and pretending that someone, somewhere is listening. <br />
<br />
The last (almost) two years of my life have been one hell of a rollercoaster, but I'm here and I'm ready to face whatever else this crazy, fucked up world has to throw at me. <br />
<br />
But for now, I'm going to get into bed and binge watch Black Mirror until my eyes burn and eat two full bags of chocolate buttons to myself, because well, who the fuck cares? <br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I recently signed back up to Birchbox and vowed that I would start using the products instead of letting them build up in a drawer and then throwing them all away. I have a few favourites that I've found myself using most days, which is unusual for me!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The Hammam Ritual range has been around for a while, however I think they may have re-launched with some newer products and packaging. This body mud smells incredible, I love the smell of eucalyptus and I feel so refreshed and clean after using this in the shower. You can either use it for exfoliating or from what I've seen from other reviews, you can use it as a clay mask, leaving in on for a few minutes and then rinsing it off. I'm just using it for exfoliation at the moment and it's doing the job so far!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've never been one to moisturise, especially in a morning because I've never found one that soaks in quick enough before I need to apply my make-up, however, because of Trilogy's Vital Cream, times are a-changing. I think you're supposed to use this twice a day, I actually just use it when I remember, which is probably a few times a week. It soaks in quite quickly and if I apply it before the rest of my face, it makes my primer feel like silk and my foundation does seem to go on a little easier.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My hair is either really oily, mostly at the roots, or really dry, mostly at the ends. The last six months I've been trying to take better care of my mane and I've been getting it trimmed more often, but still find split ends from over-heating and styling. I've used Fluoro5 Elixer Oil a few times now and I've noticed that my ends feel a lot more soft. I use a little on my ends just before I kill it with my hairdryer and it does make me feel a little better about myself - cause we all like to think we're looking after ourselves. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm a massive lip-addict and I have more lip products than I can count, so what's one more, eh? I've tried a couple of LOC's products and have never really had any complains. This is a really cute, light pink colour and I find if I use it with a lip balm underneath it lasts well past lunchtime. It doesn't dry out my lips, it's more of a high-shine than a matt and I find myself wearing it most days at the moment, instead of my usual vamp red. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Did someone say Lush delivery? It's almost Halloween, which means it's almost Christmas, which means Lush is in overdrive. It's been so long since I bought anything, I just had to make an order. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><strong><em><a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath/pumpkin">Pumpkin - Oh my! Pie!</a> // </em></strong>Despite what people have told me, this doesn't not smell like pumpkin pie. It doesn't smell like pumpkin anything. It smells like lemons and oranges and anything citrus. It does actually smell amazing - and I'm not one for citrus scents. Can we just pause and sigh deeply at the fact.. It's a freaking pumpkin. It has Halloween written all over it and as soon as I saw it, I needed it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/never-mind-ballistics"><strong><em>Never Mind the Ballistics</em></strong></a> <strong><em>//</em></strong> As far as I know, this is make my bath look like a rainbow vomited in it. No issues with that, whatsoever. So half the bomb is normal, the other half is smooth - which I haven't seen before? Even smoother than the bubble bars. I get scents of lime and a kind of peach? It uses cocoa butter so my legs will end up feeling like silk, rather than a gorilla's armpit. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath-bombs/monsters-ball"><strong><em>Monsters' Ball</em></strong></a> <strong><em>//</em></strong> His eye fell off :'( I was literally heartbroken when I pulled him out and search frantically in the box for his eye, but it wasn't there! WTF Lush? To say I don't like citrus scents, I'm pretty sure all of these follow that theme. Monsters' Ball smells really fresh and clean actually and I imagine my bath being all kinds of blue and purple - more unicorn vomit than rainbow. Again, no complaints. Who doesn't love unicorn vomit?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/bath-bombs/golden-wonder"><strong><em>Golden Wonder</em></strong></a> <strong><em>// </em></strong>I think Golden Wonder is my favourite bath bomb of all time, I come back to it every single year. I feel like a princess when I use this beauty with all the glitter and the stars in the middle - it 100% reminds me of Christmas and I have to stock up on at least 30 of these before they leave in the New Year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://uk.lush.com/products/christmas/lord-misrule"><em><strong>Lord of Misrule</strong></em></a> <strong><em>//</em></strong> Slightly more spicy than the others with black pepper oil, it's another scent I'm not normally fond of. Again though, it reminds me of Christmas, cinnamon and spices and everything rustic. Did I mention.. There's popping candy. It turns your water a deep purple and leaves your skin feeling incredible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">I cannot wait to try these out - what's the betting they won't last the week? </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOWxpwrEXlE2lClrOZTIfZtmTsHsOSdlHBLXLnMGTqB5BsVFWD8iZYKDmGuIPr7gQWOkBxBEXGdzGGDOsMYzYP8vyS5DLv7BBTUk9NNXwkojDIvQCFWuZBcWNIC-a58rQ-AynC2e44EW0/s1600/books.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOWxpwrEXlE2lClrOZTIfZtmTsHsOSdlHBLXLnMGTqB5BsVFWD8iZYKDmGuIPr7gQWOkBxBEXGdzGGDOsMYzYP8vyS5DLv7BBTUk9NNXwkojDIvQCFWuZBcWNIC-a58rQ-AynC2e44EW0/s640/books.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This year, to date, I have read 33 books. There is something so comforting about lying under the blankets, fairy lights twinkling and opening a new book. A new story. A new adventure. I am forever living in a fantasy world (lets be honest, it's far more exciting than the real one) and falling in love with people that don't exist. Obviously, (even though I'd love to) I cannot go into detail into every book I've adored, but I wanted to share with you, my three recent favourites - a little insight into my over-sized library.</span><a name='more'></a><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Under Rose-Tainted Skies - Louise Gornall</span></em></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I feel like this may be the most brilliant book I've read all year. I'm not even sure I can put into words, how much I fell in love with Norah and Luke and their story. For someone who suffers with anxiety, reading about Norah's struggle with OCD and agoraphobia and experiencing her falling in love, it was heart-breaking but it was also one of the most inspiring, hope-filled stories I have ever read. Teenage romance, mental health and a girl with the most amazing amount of sass, this book was heart-wrenching, hilarious and beautifully written. Incredible.</span><br />
<br /><br />
<em><strong><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Faceless - Alyssa Sheinmel</span></strong></em><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After losing her face in a fire, Maisie is one of the first people in the world to receive a face transplant. Being a teenager is hard enough, imagine having to start over at 16 with a brand new, disfigured face. This book is so inspiring. I must admit, there were times when I wanted to grab this girl by her shoulders screaming 'Do you realise how lucky you are?' but there were others when I wanted to scream at everyone else, 'Do you understand what this girl is going through?'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We all want to be beautiful, we all want people to look at us and like what they see - this book proves vanity can be overcome and that the way we look isn't everything. </span><br />
<br /><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The City of Bones - Cassandra Clare</span></em></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The Mortal Instruments series, are 100% my all time favourite books. This is, your perfect fantasy world. There are werewolves, there are vampires, there are witches and warlocks - and keeping them all in line - are the Shadowhunters. Isabella, Alec and the beautiful Jace, along with Clary (who has no idea what the fuck is happening) spend the majority of the six books, fighting for their lives. More teenage romance, demon fighting and the beautiful Jace, (are you sensing a theme here?) have captured my heart and when I finished the series, I spent a long time thinking, what do I do with my life now? So.. I got a tattoo. NERD-ALERT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Have you read any of these books? What did you think? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It's Sunday and the last few days have been heaven. I am now wrapped up in my dressing gown, headphones in singing along to anything I can find, scrolling through Bloglovin for some inspiration. I feel incredibly content.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- <em><strong>Goose Fair</strong></em>. Dinky donuts with Nutella, too many spins on the Waltzers and getting thrown around by a mechanical bull. This Saturday, Luke and I, along with some friends, took a trip into Nottingham and had an evening at the fair. Once we decided we'd had enough of being thrown about on ridiculous sized rides, we walked into town and had quiet time at The Dice Cup, a board game café where we all got grumpy when we didn't win.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- <strong><em>Birthdays</em></strong>. A family meal for Granny's 85th saw me laughing more than I have in months. Sunday was spent watching a blonde haired princess prance about singing 'Baby Alba, Baby Alba' and blowing out her 3 birthday candles. It feels amazing to be a part of this family. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- <strong><em>A week of quiet</em></strong>. I now have a whole week off and it is so amazing to finally have some me time, after a few very stressful months of work. I have a few plans, but mostly the week will be spent sitting in my pants binge-watching Now TV and Netflix.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- <strong><em>Dark evenings</em></strong>. I feel like all I want to do lately is put on my pajamas, light all my candles, sit under my blanket and read until I fall asleep. I love it when the days get shorter and the world becomes a little more crispy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />

It is officially Autumn. There is almost nothing as beautiful as watching the leaves change from green, to orange, to red before falling and crunching beneath our feet. Glimpsing the sunset on our way home from work earlier each evening, the skies turning from pink, to orange, to black and star filled. Feeling the temperature drop and being able to wrap yourself in 18 layers, watching your breath turn to fog.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Hot chocolate with excessive amounts of cream, woolly hats, dark cosy evenings, pumpkin carving, extravagant scarves, bonfires and fireworks, oversized jumpers, crunchy leaves underfoot, gingerbread, frosty morning air, the browns and golds, fairy lights and candles burnings, woodland walks and dare I say it - Christmas.<br />
<br />
I am more than aware that first, we have Halloween. Anything skull shaped or laced with black makes my heart leap for joy. However, after doing a little shopping today and wandering round the Christmas sections, eyes wide and heart shaped, I just couldn't contain my excitement.<br />
<br />
This is my favourite time of year and the next few months are going to be filled with adventures, cosy evening snuggles and a feeling of content that I never thought I would find.<br />
<br />
Hello Autumn, let's not fly by, shall we? We'd all like to enjoy you for that little bit longer.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245234420855555836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133771946921734817.post-34568183970744771032015-08-30T16:27:00.000+01:002016-10-02T23:01:28.942+01:00Life Lately<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So it's been 3 months, almost to the date, since I last blogged. What a 3 months it's been. This summer has been the biggest roller coaster of my life and I don't think I'll be getting off any time soon. But in the mean time, I thought I'd pay some attention to my little Internet space. I've missed you guys.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In July I ventured to Benidorm with my friend Kerry, what an experience. We went Friday to Monday and it was actually brilliant. A quick mini beach-break was just what I needed. I may have spent an entire day throwing up my hangover, but other than that, it was perfect. August was my 6 year anniversary with the one and only <a href="http://www.sianmariebeauty.com/">Sian</a> and we took a walk to Black Rock among other adventures. The view was beautiful. This summer has also seen a new pair of feet step into my life, let's see what happens. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">August saw Sian and I jet off to Palma Nova with my family. Such an awesome week filled with relaxation, a lot of sleep and some mini-adventures. It was amazing to spend time with my family, especially my sister. That girl has been my rock. The views from our room were beautiful, I'll have to put some more pictures up at some point, who knew Magaluf had a nice side. Celebrating our 6 years (all month, obviously) Nugget and I ventured to Sherwood Forest, which is so pretty at this time of year. I have also eaten a lot of pizza these last few weeks - New Feet's fault. </span></div>

I'm back at the gym, I'm completely gutting and re-decorating my room, I have so much to look forward to and also, so much to be thankful for. I'm really gonna try and blog once or twice a week, but bear with me, life keeps getting in the way. Let's see what happens.</span></div>

I brought this in <a href="http://rosecharli.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/sephora-haul.html">Sephora</a> when I popped on over to Vegas in February and I have used it pretty much once a week since I got back. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't actually suffer with dry skin, but whilst I was in Vegas, my skin went ape shit. It literally dried up overnight and after wanting to try Origins for ages, I YOLO'd it. It's quite a thick cream (you literally only need a pea sized amount) which put me off at first, but it felt amazing whilst applying. Instantly I could feel my skin drinking it up. I've never used an 'overnight mask' before so felt weird not washing it off like normal, but I awoke in the morning with significantly better skin. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even though this is designed for dehydrated skin, I still use this once a week. I find that my foundation goes on perfectly the morning after using it and there are no clingy dry patches. At £23, it's not that expensive and it's been what, 3 months since Vegas? And I don't think I'm even half way through the tube. I will definitely be re-purchasing this once I run out!</span></div>

As well as spending far too much in <a href="http://rosecharli.blogspot.com/2015/03/sephora-haul.html">Sephora</a>, I also ventured into the NARS store. Big mistake. I had myself a little makeover and ended up spending $120.. Well, when in Rome and all that (or Vegas in this case).</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I only went in for a foundation, I wanted to try something high end, that wasn't MAC. I ended up purchasing the <a href="http://narscosmetics.co.uk/en_GB/sheer-glow-foundation/999NACSGLWF01.html?dwvar_999NACSGLWF01_color=7845060406#start=11">NARS Sheer Glow Foundation</a> in the shade <b>Gobi </b>(which let me tell you, is about as pale as it gets - get me on that sunbed), the <a href="http://narscosmetics.co.uk/en_GB/soft-velvet-loose-powder/999NAC0000018.html?dwvar_999NAC0000018_color=7845014249#start=2">Soft Velvet Loose Powder</a> in <b>Beach </b>and the <a href="http://narscosmetics.co.uk/en_GB/lipstick">Audacious Lipstick</a> in <b>Olivia. </b></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When she used this on me in store, I loved it. But she's a make-up artist and I'm a girl who can't even draw her eyebrows on right. I hate it, in fact, I've given it to my sister now. I'm gutted because there was such a hype around it. It doesn't matter how much I exfoliate or take care of my skin, it sticks to every single dry area, the coverage is awful and I just can't get on with it. I also think it makes me look ill, even with a darker powder on top. Sorry NARS, I won't be using this anymore.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Again, the coverage on the loose powder isn't great. I don't like to use too much in case it makes me look a little 'cakey'. I like this more than I like Sheer Glow but again, it's not something I use every day. I'll use it every now and again to mix things up a little. The colour is more me which is good, but I also don't think it lasts all day, I can see a bit of shine coming through after a couple of hours. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">And so we come to lipstick, which I adore. Everyone knows you need at least 184 red lipsticks in your collection. Can I just say, the packaging on this in amazing. Its so sleek and magnetic, yeah, you heard, it's magnetic. I also love the little 'NARS' imprint on the actual lipstick itself. With a lip balm underneath, this glides on like silk. You need a good lip liner as it does bleed after a couple of hours and I do find myself having to re-apply (but I do that with every lipstick). This is one of my firm 'night-out' lipsticks and I'll definitely be re-purchasing when it runs out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So I didn't love everything I brought, but you live and learn and I now know that just because it's more expensive, it doesn't make the quality any better. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, just because I haven't been blogging myself, doesn't mean I haven't still been obsessively reading other peoples. I'm still scrolling through my Bloglovin' everyday to see who's posted what and today I thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you guys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://mascara-and-maltesers.blogspot.co.uk/">Mascara & Malteasers</a> || I have been obsessing over Belle's blog since day one. Her love for mascara amazes me and her internet space is my first port of call if I'm looking for a new one. If her writing isn't enough to sway you to become a full time follower, then just take a look at her face. What a beauty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://sm-beautyblog.blogspot.co.uk/">Sian Marie's Beauty Blog</a> || My favourite blog of all time and yes, I am bias. One of the first things I do when I wake up in a morning, is get myself onto Bloglovin' to see if she has posted anything. My current favourite is <a href="http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4348286690&group=0&frame_type=b&context=blog_profile&context_ids=&blog=10323157&frame=1&click=0&user=0">20 Things I Would Tell My Younger Self</a> - check it out, it's a giggle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.thewonderforest.com/">Wonder Forest</a> - If the name isn't enough for you to instantly love this blog, then just take a look at her <a href="https://instagram.com/wonderforest">Instagram</a>. Who knew you could create such beautiful pictures on a phone app?! She posts a lot of blog advice, self-help tips and I have yet to read a post that I don't love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://timetoseethestars.blogspot.co.uk/">See The Stars</a> - One of my all-time favourite munchkins, Sarah is currently on a break, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't still scroll and scroll and scroll through her endless perfect posts.

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I feel like May didn't even happen, anyone else? However, here is what I've been loving over the last month. I was brought <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/author/lena-dunham/450545">Not That Kinda Girl</a> by a friend of mine for my birthday, after finally getting round to reading it, I read it in the space of two days. Lena Dunham is one of my favourite woman and everything that comes out her mouth has me creasing with laughter, give it a read! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've been taking better care of my skin over the last couple of weeks and have been using </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory--Face-Soap-and-Clarity--3-in-1-Daily-Detox-Vitamin-C-Facial-Wash-150ml_1364150/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Soap and Glory Daily Detox</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> (almost) every single day. I use it at night to take my top layer of make-up and I've noticed a real difference in the condition of my skin. I've had it a good month now and there's still so much left, I'll definitely be buying this again once it's all gone. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Next up, make-up, obviously. In my <a href="http://rosecharli.blogspot.com/2015/03/sephora-haul.html">Sephora Haul</a> I mentioned that I'd brought the <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_154614000099_-1">Too Faced - Better Than Sex</a> mascara. I started off just using this on nights out but got addicted and it's now a daily staple in my make-up bag. Is it better than sex? Well, that all depends on who you're bonking, but it's pretty damn good. My lashes look longer and a lot fuller when using this. I'm gonna do a full review on this for sure. Following closely behind is <a href="https://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/the-porefessional">Benefit's POREfessional</a> which has also become a daily staple in my routine. I never really used primer before this and it makes such a difference when I apply my foundation and on gym days, I'll just put a little of this on to stop <strike>me looking like death</strike> the shine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Last, but definitely not least, whilst in Superdrug last week I treated myself to an <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/lips/lipstick/amazing-lipstick-rebel-with-cause.html">Amazing Lipstick</a> in the shade <b>Rebel with Cause</b> by Make Up Revolution. At £1 I wasn't expecting much, but this really is 'amazing'. I use a lip balm underneath and it glides on. I do re-apply at lunchtime at work, but I always do once I've eaten. It barely bleeds, unless you've had it on all day and it's such a beautiful colour!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I cannot believe it is May. We are almost half way through 2015? Jeez, that is cray-zay. Seeing as I've been a little distant (hello mini-break) I thought I'd ease us back in with some Instagram snippets. Have a lovely Sunday!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">A lot has happened over the last few weeks, but in ways, not much has happened either. I spent May Bank Holiday with my parents over at Newstead Abbey, the sun was shining and the scenary was beautiful. I had my first night out in a long time, which resulted in a very drunk Sian from <a href="http://sm-beautyblog.blogspot.co.uk/">SM Beauty</a> - maybe we'll discuss this more in future posts, hilarious doesn't cover it. Also, Sian and I went to see McBusted which, even though I had the Plague, was bloody brilliant. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here we have part two of my Vegas Diaries, the last few pictures in this are pretty bad quality, obviously I was having an off day. The décor in The Bellagio literally took my breath away, probably because of how large and open and brightly coloured everything is. Definitely one of my peaks of the trip. </span></div>

Bear and I jetted off to the wonderful world of Las Vegas. What an experience. It was honestly the best trip yet, by far. Even though I found it extremely overwhelming, after a few days I was in my element. You may have seen my <a href="http://rosecharli.blogspot.com/2015/03/sephora-haul.html">Sephora Haul</a> (if not, get yourself over there) which was just a slice of the excitement I got to experience. I'll be splitting these posts up cause they're gonna be picture heavy. I'd also like to point out that I am definitely not a photographer, all these were taken on my Samsung.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We stayed at the Crown Plaza in Gatwick the night before our departure and I am telling you now, this was 100% the best bed I have ever slept in (minus the pillows). You literally sink about a foot into the bed. I got in and said to Bear 'I need this bed'. His reply? 'Don't worry, I've already googled the mattress company'. What a legend. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We stayed at Planet Hollywood, which I do do do recommend and this is the view from our room window in the day (obviously). We upgraded to the 'penthouse' suite, which was definitely not a penthouse, just a bigger room with a strip view. The view at night was worth it. The Eiffel Tower (well, a model of) which is half the size of the real thing, has a restaurant half way up and is utterly beautiful at night.</span></div>

So of course I got myself down to Lush and purchased a bubble bar! Our first breakfast on the Tuesday morning (no idea of the restaurant name, we thought it was The Sugar Factory but turned out it wasn't). Yes, it tasted as good as it looks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As it's recently been Chinese New Year, everywhere, literally everywhere, is decorated for the occasion. It really was beautiful.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The first two days in Vegas were spent checking out our own hotel, Planet Hollywood, which holds the Miracle Mile shops and a casino, which we took full advantage of. We looked round Ceasers Palace, which has The Forum Shops (so many shops!), The Bellagio (the famous fountains are to die for, so beautiful) and the Paris, which was next door. All three were beautiful and huge and just, wow. We ate at the Spice Buffet in our hotel, which wasn't amazing, but still good enough. It was a brilliant start to our week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you're a reader of this blog, you'll know that last month I travelled to Vegas with my boyfriend. There will be a full post on this, but I'm still sorting out photos so bear with me. For now, you can have this. I went overboard in Sephora, my first time in the shop and in America so why the hell not?! Buckle down, this is going to be a long one.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Surprisingly, I brought a LOT of skincare! I use the same things everyday and thought it was about time I spiced things up a bit and treated my skin. I needed a new cleanser and when I saw <a href="http://www.sephora.com/face-cleanser-P248404?skuId=1217710">First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser</a> at $10 for the 55ml size, I thought I'd give it a try. Never heard of the brand before but who can pass it up at $10?! Also for cleansing, I've been wanting the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/take-the-day-off-cleansing-balm-P126301?skuId=886267">Clinque Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm</a> for ages as I've never used a balm before - actually can't make my mind up on this product ATM, full review coming up soon! Next, face masks. Can I just say Origins is immensely cheaper in America, I very nearly brought everything. But I settled for the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/drink-up-intensive-overnight-mask-P389343?skuId=1376003">Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask</a> seeing as my skin was so dry whilst in the desert. I've used this twice and actually quite like it! Next I got my hands on a full size pot of <a href="http://www.sephora.com/super-mud-clearing-treatment-P376409?skuId=1473735">GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD</a> which I have been wanting since I tried their YOUTHMUD. Last but not least in the skincare section, we have <a href="http://www.sephora.com/detox-brightening-fizzy-powder-wash-P389546?skuId=1629286">NUDE Fizzy Powder Wash</a> which is a grainy powder which you add water too and it turns into a paste. Very messy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Eyes, eyes, eyes. I've been DESPERATE to try the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/better-than-sex-mascara-P381000?skuId=1533439">Too Faced Better Than Sex</a> mascara for so long and it was only $20, I should of brought 3 really. I also (accidentally) picked up the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/gifted-amazonian-clay-smart-mascara-P286101?skuId=1328913">Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay</a> mascara, I thought I was buying the Lights, Camera, Lashes (they're all in the same box) and got back to the hotel and was like, oh. But fear not, I am not disappointed, it's freaking amazing. Review coming. Finally for eyes I treated myself to this <a href="http://www.sephora.com/picture-perfect-duo-P275309?skuId=1271998">Tarte Perfect Duo</a> which includes a pair of eyelash curlers and a mini version of Lights, Camera, Lashes, YAY!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Technically I brought <a href="http://www.sephora.com/the-porefessional-P264900?skuId=1259068">Benefit POREfessional</a> at the airport, but I'm including it in here. I've used this plenty of times but have never owned a full size, so now I do! Secondly, whilst in Vegas I had a makeover in the NARS store (more on this in another post) and came into Sephora when I decided I wanted the bronzer she used. Now, I don't know if I was being an idiot, but the NARS stand had literally no bronzers except Laguna, so I looked elsewhere. In comes <a href="http://www.sephora.com/shimmer-bloc-P154303?skuId=940502">Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc</a> in Golden Mosaic - trust me, it's stunning.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I brought this for one of my bumpkins as a birthday present, then decided I needed one too. I've been wanting to try something by Kat Von D for forever and was tempted by the palettes, but resisted and told myself I have too many. I saw this when I was paying and thought it'd be a nice starting point to trying her range.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Last, but most certainly not least, I picked up a couple of the Sephora masks. I could easily have brought all of them at only $6 but I restrained myself. I'm looking forward to trying these, especially the Anti-Fatigue one!</span></div>

I have reviews coming up on every single item, so watch this space. Whilst here, I'd just like to take the time to say how wonderful every member of staff in Sephora was, they're all extremely friendly and ready to help and it made the overwhelming experience a little less scary for me! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, over the years I have claimed hoards of make-up, most of which I like to take with me when I travel. For that, you need somewhere to store it. This little beauty, is the single best make-up bag I have ever purchased. £6 from Primark, the patterns and colours drew me straight in and when I opened it up, I knew I was buying it after about an eighth of a second. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Inside are three zip pouches, each able to hold quite a lot of junk. I should really have included a picture with it full of my crap, but yano, I just don't think ahead. Basically I filled the bottom two with make-up (at least 8 red lipsticks) and the top one held my jewellery and essentials such as grips and bobbles. I literally didn't take any other bags (other than my suitcase obviously) because this holds everything. It also has a really handy hook, which means you can hang it up wherever you please. It rolls up and fits easily in the bottom of my case and will now be coming with me whenever I travel. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Reading // <b>The Letter by Kathryn Hughes </b>I'm only a few chapters into this and I'm already hooked! This cost me £1 on Amazon Kindle (seriously check the deals out) and it's well worth the money. I've also recently read <b>Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn</b> which actually really disappointed me. Maybe I had set my hopes too high? It was just very slow. The film however, was pretty darn good!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Listening to // For Vegas I made myself three playlists; Uno, Dos and Tres. These included a HUGE mixture of artists such as Westlife, Youmeatsix, Jordin Sparks, ADTR and so many more. There's 100 songs in each playlist and I love every song so I don't even need to skip. So basically, I've just been listening to those because there's such a large variety! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thinking about // Getting organised! Now I'm back from Vegas, I can bump my saving up and we're also talking about getting the house cleared out and cleaned up ready to begin the selling process at the end of the year. I'm also seriously feeling the love for blogging now I'm back so I'm hoping (even though I say this every month) that I can keep up with it and bang some regular posts out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Loving // Everything really, I'm feeling really positive at the moment (even though I am currently severely jet lagged whilst writing this) I'm really looking forward to the months ahead. I'm also loving fluffy socks, baggy jumpers and pineapple hair. Seeing as I travelled so much last month, my signature outfit was leggings, baggy jumpers and my hair slapped on top of my head. So comfy and so effortless!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Watching // Still Girls and also Walking Dead is back! I'm also still loving Banana (think it may have finished now but I need to catch up) and it's brother series Cucumber. Also, whilst travelling to and from Vegas, I watched a whoooole lotta films including; Gone Girl, Tammy, The Book of Life, Maze Runner and loads more but I'm too tired to remember and I loved ALL of them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Looking forward to // The whole of March! It's my birthday <strike>(I like candles and cats FYI)</strike> and I have a big night out planned and a day of shopping with Bear. It's also my bumpkin's birthday so we traditionally have a spa evening which I am insanely excited about. And last (but defintiely not least) I'm having a day out with my blogging bitches! We're off to Nottingham for an Annie's burger and a round or two of golf. And <strike>maybe</strike> some shopping. March is going to be good!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am a massive worrier. I stress about everything and sometimes suffer with anxiety, which seems to get worse as I get older. After having a couple of really bad 'anxious' months towards the end of last year, it seems I am finally getting a grip. As I seem more calm lately, I really wanted to share my ideas of how to relax, especially if you're feeling worried or stressed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Organisation</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is something that really works for me, I live by plans and lists. Having a schedule that I keep to is a huge stress reducer. Knowing what I'm doing and when I'm supposed to be doing it takes away a lot of the worry and anxiety from social events for me because I have taken the time to think about it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Take a time out</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This could be watching your favourite TV show, going for a run, shutting yourself in a dark room (if that's what you're into). For me, it's running a bath with too many bubbles and settling down with a good book. I dedicated Monday nights to 'me-time' and really feel that it sets me up for the week ahead. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Learn something new</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have recently been teaching myself to cook - and have learnt that I'm pretty damn good at it! Having something to stimulate your brain is essential. It could be anything; a new language, learning to dance or a new sport. It's inspiring and motivating and can boost your confidence insane amounts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Eat well</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I don't mean dieting, I mean eating good food. Since Stuart and I ditched the frozen crap and started teaching ourselves to cook fresh, I feel incredible. I have noticed a difference in my skin, my attitude, my mood, my sleeping pattern. It is unbelievable how much your diet affects your whole life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Let it go</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Just let it go. It really is that simple. I recently read a quote by a man named Ajahn Chah; There will never be a time when life is simple. There will always be time to practice accepting that. Every moment is a chance to let go and feel peaceful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">And it is. It is so peaceful.</span><br />

Waterstones is a dangerous place and I <strike>try to</strike> avoid it at all costs, otherwise I will leave with at least 4 new books. I don't need 4 new books as I have a set of shelves in my bedroom dedicated to my books that are 'waiting to be read'. I should probably read those first, before spending 8 hours dragging Stuart round book shops. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">However, here are 4 new books. In my defense, I only brought two of these. Starting from the bottom we have <b>The Iron Trial by Cassandra Clare</b>. The writer of both the famous Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series, which I am a insane fan of, has written something a little different. Keeping with the magic theme it seems, but a little more, shall we say 'fairytale' like. The cover of this takes me back to feeling like a child and there are little illustrations above some of the chapter titles which fills me with a childlike joy. Another Cassandra Clare book (I seem a theme here) that I was dying to get my hands on last year was <b>The Bane Chronicles.</b> Again, if you're a lover of her stories, you'll know that Magnus Bane is an extravagant, cat-eyed warlock who has been on more adventures in his 300 years than you've had hot dinners. The hardback contains 10 short stories of his journeys and mis-fortunes and again, I am dying to read this. Also, can I just mention, is there anything better than a hardback book? I think not.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Moving onto a more serious genre, I picked up <b>Just what kind of mother are you? </b>by <b>Paula Daly. </b>This is about a mother who was looking after a friend's daughter, who is now missing. Since Christmas, when I got my Kindle, I have been loving thrillers so I can't wait to get my teeth into this. It has been described as 'hypnotically gripping' and as that's a huge compliment, I'm hoping it lives up to it! Lastly we have <b>Gone Girl </b>by<b> Gillian Flynn. </b>Apparently this is now a film? I wasn't aware of that when I purchased it, but I now need to watch it! I brought this for a friend for Christmas and decided to get myself a copy as well (I do this countless times) and it has been described as 'addictive' and a book that I will be 'begging people to read'. That is some praise. Again, another thriller that I can't wait to get started on!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'd love to feature more posts like this on my Internet space, I am an insane book fanatic and if it's something I love, I want to share it with you guys. Let me know if you like this sort of thing! If not, I'm probably going to post it anyway :) </span></div>
