okay, this month has gone by so quickly, yet the beginning of the month seems so long ago all at the same time - it's crazy to think that i was still at uni at the start of May! the first week or so of May was filled with deadlines and finishing second year of uni, something i can't believe has come around so quickly, but i'm so eager to be a final year student and graduate and head out into the big, wide (scary), adult world! James also came up to visit me the first bank holiday weekend of May, and it was so nice to take a break and just enjoy a weekend for a change. Since getting back from uni, i've just been working, catching up with friends, and starting work for my major project for next year. anyone who has read my blog for a while will know that i'm a little one direction obsessed, so it will come as no surprise that i bought tickets to see them again on their 2014 stadium tour. i'm going with the lovely Ellie from www.elliesramblings.com, and you would not believe how excitable two grown women are about a boybands concert which is over a year away...
I start my internship with a beauty PR company next week, which I am so, so excited for and can't wait to be in London every day, so i'll let you know how that goes in next months update!
1. Try some Soap & Glory products
i've still tried nothing else... i think that was a bit of a New Years hype and i'm just not feeling it anymore, so this might get struck off the list...
2. Try some Lush products
and so might this... although i am pretty eager to try their shampoo/conditioner bars, especially to take on holiday!
3. Do 20 sit ups every morning and every night
i'm an awful, awful person. i have been on the cross-trainer a few times, but it's flared up an old knee injury so i'm not sure how that's going to work out. i have recently come across Lucy Mecklenburgh from TOWIE's exercise twitter (@ResultsWithLucy) which sounds amazing with a quick workout posted each day, so i'm going to sort myself out some sort of exercise regime to start toning up!
4. ALWAYS walk to work. unless it's raining.
i did while i was in leicester... but since i've been home, i haven't done this, even though i live closer! nightmare.
5. Eat more healthily
i'm trying, i'm really trying. i count my calories a bit more now, and try very hard not to go over 1,000 calories a day.
6. Try and save £1000 in my savings for car/internship
i did this last month, so of course it wasn't going to last for long!
7. Don't attempt a spending ban
well i was never going to, was i?!
8. Book a holiday
i have excelled in this one and booked TWO holidays. i said in my last post that i was going to New York, but due to some miscalculations (Mother!!!!) it can't happen, so we've traded in New York for Barcelona for mine and Mum's 21st/50th. Turns out there's a Sephora in Barcelona too, which i'm far too excited for! James and i also booked our holiday, and we're going to Gran Canaria to a gorgeous 5* spa resort and absolutely can't wait!
9. Purchase a brush cleaner for make-up brushes
i haven't purchased one, but i did make my own with olive oil and baby shampoo, and it worked a treat! i just googled home-made brush cleaners and there's tons of recipes!
10. Jar project
i think i've put a couple of bits in... but not loads!
11. Watch as many films as possible off my list of 'Films I Should Have Seen But Haven't'
I got through three this month, plus three films not on the list - Apollo 13, Moon (even if i did fall asleep) & Click.

i have to say i think i might pinch your film list because as i'm going through them i keep thinking oh i must watch that!
ReplyDeletemine was just a mix of lots of lists i found online, it keeps growing too! X
DeleteOkay, not to sound like a crazy film buff but I hope you don't mind me just outlining the BEST films out of that lot! Dirty Dancing, Taken, How to lose a guy in 10 days, When Harry Met Sally, all of the Oceans films (the best), Forrest Gump (you absolutely have to watch it!), Big, Step Brothers, P.S I Love You, and Les Mis. all of them are in my favourite top 50 films ever and I'd recommend them all! :) xxxx
ReplyDeletei am so desperate to watch les mis, i think i'm going to have to borrow my friends copy of it! i think i'll be amazed if i get through this list! Xx
DeleteYeah definitely try to! The first time, my mum forced me to watch it with her and I was absolutely dreading it thinking it would be so boring but I've now seen it about five times (major crush on Eddie Redmayne).. addictive! xxx
