Pleasant Weekend

And finally the work is done :) All my essays for this semester/term are done. Thank the Lord :D

Except now I have revision :| But I can just waste some time on Pottermore before we get round to that :)

I was in Annan on Friday and Saturday and on the way back to Stirling we had to get the train to Edinburgh we stopped of in a pub near Haymarket station, discovered the pub had stopped food so wandered upstairs.

Yes the food was lovely (especially the chocolate fudge cake) but more amazing were these epically cool signs...

I sent this to my friend Evan :) 

This had to be sent to the mothership... perfect housewife noooot. 

I wish I could do this but no... Saturday was problematic (my hangovers are just like THE DAY OF HUNGER)

Sent to my friend Eilidh :) 

To the boyfriend :p treat em mean. Maybe this insults me who knows :(

This one had to be send to my Father because he is such an irritating person to go anywhere with because he always stops to read bloody signs! Soooo annoying! 

Anyway I have a few more posts coming up so hold your breath (just kidding, please don't) xxx

One Down

Thankfully one essay is done! 3,000 BOOM finished yesss!

To treat myself I've painted my nails in Rimmel Black Cherries and my toes in MaxFactor Odyssey Blue :)

Unfortunately the nails are still very short from nervously biting them :( sad times. But I may have just placed an order on cheapsmells.com for some new polishes and some "nail doctor" hoping it does some good. 

Oh I also got Instagram, I caved. mostly so I can have nice twitter photos :) when I actually get round to taking photos I put a link but if you want me to follow you leave your username below :) 

Right one last essay to do :) Hope you're all okay :D xxx

"I advocate glamour. Every day. Every minute"

Any guesses as to which fabulous star said this. Well she's got a teeny tiny waist and is soooo sexy it hurts.

Yup, Dita Von Teese.

Currently my absolute idol. Apart from the 16 inch waist, I have a girl crush I'm not deluded!

She states about her career as a burlesque dancer that "it's not about seducing men, it's about embracing womanhood". I completely agree. It's not just men that find her fascinating/sexy as hell, but woman watch and long to have her confidence, well I do anyway. Maybe I just wish I could dance like her instead of like an elephant... :(

I have to say when I'm wearing my "nice underwear" I definitely feel better about myself, more sexy anyway. I think Dita has taken this to a whole new level.

I want her... a lot!! Or I want to be her... One of the two will make me very happy.

How about you lot? Do you share my girl crush? xxx

The new trend in nails?

So, recently on youtube and around blogs and stuff I heard/read about Ciate's Caviar Manicures. I saw it and immediately thought it was very cool. Obviously not an everything thing more of a night time party thing.

Then I heard the price... £18 really? For some little glass balls... oooooh wait you're giving me a funnel too, oh and a plastic tray. Nope not worth the price.

Not when you can go on amazon and buy a set of coloured micro-beads like this;

These were £5.99 and considering I didn't know if I was even going to be able to do it let alone like it I felt £6 was enough to be spending.

So firstly I painted my nails in Rimmel Pulsating. I would just add here as a side note that my nails are soooo short right now because I've been madly biting them in a state of anxious terror due to my essay so they are painted shockingly. Which also resulted (I think) in poor bead work :)

I decided (cleverly) to use a colour I wouldn't mind losing/wasting.

It didn't turn out so good.

In fairness to my shoddy work I looked better in real life. It was actually really annoying to have stuff sticking out my nail. Perhaps it's my current anxious mood but I just kept wanting to pick at it.

Love you all xxx

Primark buys :)

I have to admit I very rarely go to Primark and if I do it's generally for a strappy top or some funky tights, I just generally am not a fan.

However, my friend was in getting stuff for fancy dress and I decided to go and peruse the jewellery section, thinking even if I see something nice then it won't be too expensive so I might as well treat myself :)

The first thing I saw and completely fell for was this bracelet:

It's so pretty and every time I wear it people comment on it. I'm so glad I bought it :) I think it was £2(ish).

I then saw this little necklace its sooooo cute! A wee squirrel and acorn :) and it was only £1.

This french necklace, Eiffel tower and Poodle was also only £1 and I think they were having clearances or something... Who knows, I got stuffs for a quid! :D

These were not from Primark but as I haven't had time to do a Feb Favourites I thought I'd shove these in here as I've been wearing these nearly every day. I think it's the green, it goes well with my hair :)

That is all my chums. Feel free to get in touch changingtidesofsummer@gmail.com or leave a comment. TTFN :P xxx

Superdrug Haul

I mostly buy my make-up of Boots if I'm doing online shopping but the other day I went over to super drug mostly to get an Andrea Fullerton nail varnish but the first thing I came across was this:

The maxfactor lipstick colour effect.

This is the colour Gypsy Red.

The idea is you can wear one on one lip and the other on your other lip. Or the way I'm probably going to wear it is the red colour on first then dab the gold colour on in the middle of my bottom lip as the red already has a gold sheen to it.

It is a really beautiful colour :)

I then was bullied (cough) by the internet to buy 3 nail varnishes from Rimmel as they were 3 for 2. So really it's not my fault I bought three more.

These are in Pulsating, Green with Envy and Black Cherries.

And finally the reason I was on superdrug in the first place!

Eliza. Isn't she beautiful! I was so gutted when this came out right after I'd cancelled my beauty boxes but it's fine I bought it, this beauty is ALL MINE!

Love to you all :) xx

P.S Once again if you'd like to write an essay for me let me know :)

A New Favourite

Firstly apologies for being somewhat MIA recently but work is getting heavy and it's holidays which means backwards and forwards to Edinburgh. Oh the stress. If any of you fancy doing a 3,000 word Law essay then feel free to email me... :)

So, anyway as a background, I had told my friend I wanted to go see the Hunger Games in the cinema. She immediately asked me if I'd read the book... Now to be fair normally I do but I remember reading the blurb when it first came out and I didn't like the sound of it.

However, I listen to people when they make a case so I went onto my faithful friend Amazon  and bought the three books and OH MY GIDDY AUNT am I glad I did.

I think I read this beauty;

In just a few hours I literally couldn't put it down. I had to tear myself away from it to do some tutorial work but then I was like... nah screw it I'm going to keep reading :) It was brilliant!

Even if you don't think this is the sort of book you'd like... trust me it is :P

I've already started the second one and I'm so excited to see what happens!!!

Talk to you all very soon I hope! xxx
