V Festival ❤

Hello again,

I just can't seem to get into the hang of regular posting! I am sure I will get there in the end :)

Well me and my besties went to V festival this year and it was AMAZING!!! I loved every minute! I even got over the horrific state and smell of the toilets!! And that is saying something hehe!

We went to Weston Park near Staffordshire it took us like what seemed an age to get there (3 hours!) Then the queues to get in were about just as long! But once we got over the tragic walk with all our rucksacks and finally pitched the ten! ( didn't quite go to plan) the fun began! However due to our extremely bad tent building skills and the wind we did come back on Saturday night drunk to find this!

Not ideal if I do say so myself! So we squished up with some of the other girls for a cosy night!

The lineup was immense here is the line up:

So as you can see many many many people most people would want to go and see! And yes headlining was beyonce! Oh my days! I knew she would be good but my god she was AMAZING! So much I shed a little tear hehe (could have web something to so with the large amount of alcohol I had consumed as well like) but serious she was immense!

She was half an hour late though so started to get some boos but she soon won the crowd back!! I loved every minute!

This woman is truly an inspiration!! I can't quite highlight how good she was I just recommend everyone to go and see her! Hehe! I even managed to bag a little bit of time up on someone's shoulders so I could get some good pics! :) eeeee I am

getting excited thinking about it!

But she can't have all the credit there were some amazing acts there and just that I went to see because obviously you

can't see them all its impossible! Some that spring to mind which were amazing were:

~ Emeli Sande

~ Rudimental

~ Jessy J

~ 5ive!

~ Maverick Sabre

~Jason Mraz (very emotional because one of my best friends have chosen for her wedding song eeekk!)

So guys this was just a quick post to get how excitable I was out because I found it an awesome experience and it was the first proper festival I had been too!

If anyone has any questions just ask :) or photos or anything they would like to share I would love to share your experience too :)

LOVE IT: Viktor&Rolf ~ Flowerbomb Perfume

Smelling lovely is a must right?

Well I FINALLY got given Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb perfume as a gift :) SCORE! I have wanted this perfume for soooooo long! I have never bought it myself because it is not the cheapest or perfumes, and spare dosh for like many of you I assume is not a regular occurrence for me. So you can utterly imagine the excitement that came over me, when I got given this.

The first thing that stands out to me is the packaging, I do love it! It portrays a pretty floral product which indeed it is! I like the way the box shows the illusion of a wrapped present that is secured by a wax stamp!

Moving to the bottle itself, I just feel like it is very well presented and girly. The liquid has a slight pink tinge, and this is carried on through the metal on the product as well, which i think is a great touch! The plastic wax stamp which is made into a tag on the bottle is also really cute. (However be careful when transporting the perfume, because it is not that strong and mine has snapped off :( Whoops)

I utterly LOVE the smell! This shouldn't be a surprise or I guess I would not be writing this LOVE IT post. It is rather strong therefore not much is needed. Floral scents come through the strongest, however it is not overpowering because I am not usually the biggest fan of overly floral perfumes. It is rather sweet but also musky, and I think it has a sexy element about it. By far the best thing about this perfume is that it actually STAYS!

The only downsides are as I mentioned before the price and the tag being weak for transportation.

So if you are looking for a new fragrance, that is feminine and sexy try this!

Price: £65.00 (50ml) ~ This price is taken from boots.

Review: Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint ~ Barry M

Nails nails nails....

 

... I just love painting them! So my newest edition to my nails varnish collection is the Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint by Barry M. I picked the shade Lychee. As you may know this is one of Barry Ms fast growing effects range.

 

I lurvvveeee my nude colours you see so this shade stood out to me straight away. The first thing i noticed about this nail varnish was when i was using it the smell is just lovely. You may be thinking what an odd thing to first recognise but its actually really nice not over powering like some.

 

Next i did find that it does not seem to go on completely even however it does seem to even out whilst your doing your other nails. It does say one coat needed however i prefer the effect of two. however i have noticed the more coats you apply the more likely it is to chip so bare this in mind :) It does dry nice and quickly though always a bonus!

 

I love this effect that it constantly looks wet and with extra shine. I think it makes your nails look like you have just had them all done especially if you have nicely grown nails. Someone even asked me if mine were fake or real?! (I wasn't too sure if i should take this as a compliment or not lol.)

 

 

The rest of the colour range i find is rather random because there are a lot of bright colours but also some pastels. I am really happy with the product.

 

What are your thoughts?

LOVE IT: Graze ~ Nibble Box

Hello :)

My mam kept getting this healthy nibbles through the post when i was back home visiting. 'Its only £3.89' she kept saying! She highly recommended them to me and gave me a code so that i got my first and fifth box for free. So the word 'Free' Instantly got me interested. I used the code and signed up for the free box and if you are unhappy with the product you simply cancel it after you receive the box and you have no commitment which i think is really good.

If you go onto the website Graze Box you just sign up and you get the option to choose between three main boxes;

~Nibble Box (which i get) ~ This is maximum variety and you get to choose from over 100 nibbles.

~Eat Well Box ~ Which is a more healthy box however you will receive a little treat from time to time.

~Energy Box ~ This is the strictest box in which you do not receive any treats only the most healthy selection of the nibbles.

You then choose the type of box you are interested in and then you get to rate all the nibbles they may send you. These are the ratings;

~ 'Bin' if you know you do not like something.

~ 'Try' if you want them to send you something and you are not sure.

~ 'Like' if you know you like it.

~ 'Love' if you definitely like it.

~'Send soon' if you cant wait for the random selection to come around for your favourite things.

Here is what i received in my first box :)

As you can see above each box you receive 4 different nibbles. The nibbles i received were;

~ The British Barbecue ~ rosemary crostini, mini basil bread sticks, fiery seeds and smoked almonds

Review:I really enjoyed these they were packed full of flavour and i even dipped the crostinis and bread sticks into my tomato soup hehe that was really nice as well :) I have rated these LOVE.

~ Lightly Toasted Pistachios ~ roasted pistachios with a touch of salt.

Review: I love pistachios so i did love these and the salt just gives them an extra tastiness mmmmmm. I have rated these LIKE.

~ Honeycomb Flapjack ~ rustic rolled oat flapjack with honeycomb and milk chocolate.

Review: This nibble is classed as a treat :) and it is a yummy one at that! Chocolate and honeycomb in the same little treat! Delightful! I rated this as LOVE. 

~ Garden of England~ mini strawberries, blackcurrants and apple.

Review: I loved the mini strawberries because they were lovely and sweet. The blackcurrants however were pretty tart a little too tart for me i am afraid. Then on to the apple i was not really a fan at all because it was very chewy and bizarre. I rated this BIN.

You also get codes given with your boxes to enable friends to get their first box free and then if they sign up using your code you then get the choice for £1 off your next box or to give to charity. :)

If anyone would like any codes just ask :)

Give it a try i recommend it! What do you think of your boxes?

Everyone loves their bed...

How dooooo,

So I was at work today and I was craving my bed. I was wishing I was there instead of being screamed at from all angles by 3 year olds. That in turn got me to thinking everyone loves their beds yet they are all so different.

What's your space like where you go to the land of nod every night? This is mine and I lurrvvveeee it! I think it just captures me perfectly!

My Safe Heaven
