Reese's Peanut Butter Pieces

Oh WOW! I really did just taste the most amazing thing in the world! Reese's Pieces, Peanut Butter Flavour..


Literally, I love all things peanut butter flavoured, but these are just on another level.. The crunchy outer shell is similar to that of an M&M, but the chocolate in the center is just so yummy. It's melts so quickly and is so creamy, then you get a rush of the sweet peanut butter coming through the chocolate.. I'm genuinely considering moving to America to be able to buy these at a reasonable price!

To prove my love of all things peanut butter, I thought I'd add a picture of the peanut butter themed cake i made a few weeks ago (I'm making it again soon for my dad's birthday) I would link the recipe for it, but it's kind of my own, however if you guys want the recipe then I'll try to organize it :)

Waking Up Early

Hello everyone, I thought that for today's post, I'd talk about waking up early. I'll also tell you guys what I do to try getting myself up at 6.30 every morning. 

So we all wish we could lie in til 12 right? Unfortunately that just doesn't happen, due to school, work or other things. For me I find it a hugely difficult task and I often find myself going without breakfast just for a little extra sleep. DO NOT DO THIS. Going without breakfast is not clever, in fact it makes you more tired throughout the day as you haven't gotten energy from the food.


Annywaayy, I find it easier to wake up early if I know i have something to look forward to later on, if that be a good lesson at school or something I'm doing after school. I'm not sure why it just makes it easier for me. If I have really rubbish lessons that day I really struggle to get up, but then I try to tell myself that it'll be fine when I get home, as I can relax.

Another way to wake yourself up, is again by exciting yourself. I often find it easier to pull myself out of bed if i have something new to add to my appearance. Even if it's just a new nail polish or lipstick, it makes me want to show/see if anyone will notice at school.

Today I'm reviewing the Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation. It costs £5.99, so quite and average price for a drugstore foundation.
I love this foundation! It gives such a good coverage, yet with the right colour looks so natural. It keeps my face looking matte all day, which is great, because I hate that dewy look that most foundations give. Neither does this foundation crease in wrinkles, I find it covers them,(unless smiling but that's inevitable)  which is a bonus:). I also find that with a bit of powder, it isn't budging. 
Image of me wearing the foundation, bearing in mind I have major dark circles under my eyes and nothing covers them


This is a great product if you have oily skin, however the same can't be said for dry skin. I find that it emphasizes my dry patches around my nose. Although I don't have these any longer due to moisturizing more :) (let that be a lesson! Moisturizers do work!!).

Overall, I would definitely recommend this foundation for people with average to oily skin, it's great!

My Fave High Street/Drug Store Fragrance

Hello Everyone :) 

Today I'm going to tell you all about my go to drug store fragrance, So..? Sinful. The price is £5.99 for a 30ml bottle and £10.49 for a 50ml bottle. However, usually these products are on sale for half price! :)
This fragrance is very sweet, so a lot of you probably won't like this. However, I on the other hand have always loved sweet, sickly scents. 

To me this product has quite a subtle scent, but is very distinctive.
It's aroma is very vanilla based, but the more i wear it, the more fruity it feels, which i love. The fruity side is a subtle smell of strawberries and pineapple blended with sugar. Another side of this fragrance is a slight floral smell, like jasmine and water-lily, again very sweet scents.
 It gives off a lasting scent so you wont have to keep applying throughout the day (I find myself doing this with other fragrances). This makes it feel less like a cheap product, and more like a high end.
