Book of the Week: Bridget Jones' Diary

"It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting "Cathy" and banging your head against a tree." Keeping my promise of a weekly review, this week is dedicated to the queen of chick lit: Bridget Jones. I have read Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding time and time again...

Lady Danger by MAC. My new lipstick love.

Yesterday, I decided to treat myself to a cheeky little shopping trip, and amongst my new stash of goodies was this little beauty. The one and only Lady Danger by MAC. I think it has become my new favourite lippy overnight, and here's why. I've always been a fan of the more orangey toned make up products. I think they suit my skin tone better, and I have plenty in my collection already. I was always a bit sceptical about buying Lady...

Book of the Week: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

  "We accept the love we think we deserve." I adore books. I find that there is nothing I enjoy more than getting lost in the intricacies of the imagination, taking time out from my own life to delve into the pages of fictional wonders and live the exciting lives of others, if only for a short while. Being that I am such a book addict, I decided that, once a week, I wanted to pick one of my favourite books...

Counting my Blessings

These are a few of my favourite things... Yesterday, I was browsing the internet and I came across the most beautifully put together blog, and I couldn't help but devour it. One post in particular really stuck with me. It discussed all the things that she was thankful for in her life, and it really inspired me. Lately, I must admit I've been rather pessimistic. I miss living with my friends at university,...

My First Glossybox...

This morning, I reluctantly peeled myself out of bed to answer the door to the postman. I was all ready to greet him with a few grunts and snarls, when I realised he was delivering my first ever Glossybox! Wohoo! Of course, I then silently forgave him for waking me up at such an ungodly hour (it was 10, judge me if you will), and proceeded to greedily unwrap my new treat as if I were a child on Christmas Day. Oh it was glorious! Here is...

25 Facts About Me.

As I am a complete newbie to the whole blogosphere (is that even how you spell it?! Who knows?), I thought I'd do this fact thingy, so that you can learn a little about me, and I can practice all this blogging malarky a bit more. Win, win really. Enjoy! 1. I have a 1st Class Honours degree in Ancient History from the University of Nottingham. It was the best experience of my life, and I miss it terribly. 2. I have a terrier cross named Rupert. I love him a lot. 3. I am the oldest of 2 kids. My younger brother was born 2 years and a day...

Allow me to introduce myself...

<a href="Follow">http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/8600349/?claim=2skgbawwxfv">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> Howdy. My name is Sarah, I'm 22 years old and I live in a quaint little village just outside of Reading. My life has been pretty hectic up until now. So far I have got myself a degree (well done me!), spent time visiting some amazing corners of the world, and worked my butt off to prepare myself for my next big adventure: this so-called 'real world' that I hear so much about, and which I am looking...
