I recently did a post on Birchbox, a monthly subscription box related to beauty. Part of me cancelled this because I couldn't justify paying for stuff I didn't need, and also, a part of me wanted to explore the realm of subscription boxes further (so technically, my bank account is still suffering).
Now, as fun as it is to receive random bits of beauty each month, I treat myself far too often as it is. Therefore, I opted to subscribe to Pink Parcel, which has an element of need to it, as it is a box designed to help you during that time of the month. That's right. A little pick you up parcel for your periods!
November 2017 Favourites
Friday, December 1
Before I fall headfirst into a snowman, decked in light up jumpers and devouring every candy cane in sight, I thought it would be a good idea to give November its last bit of attention with this favourites post. I generally enjoy both reading and writing these sorts of posts, so hopefully you will enjoy this mix of things I loved in November, and maybe even try some yourself!
Birchbox November 2017 Review
Friday, November 10
When I saw in my October Birchbox that they would be collaborating with Vogue on their next subscription box, I was pretty darn excited. A list of things buzzed through my mind as to what amazing beauty products I would be receiving in the post. A few days ago, my most recent box arrived and I decided to share my thoughts on it in this post.
Aimee Was Watching: Stranger Things Season 2
Monday, October 30
So, I am a self confessed Stranger Things fangirl. Ever since I saw the first season I have been gripped by the world of Hawkins and its inhabitants. So, you can imagine my excitement when Netflix dropped the second instalment on October 27th.

Why I love Disney at Halloween
Sunday, October 29
I am fond of many things, but two of the biggest things are Halloween and Disney.
I can't exactly define what it is about Halloween that I love so much. Mainly I love being able to embrace all the things about myself which may be seen as creepy any other time of year, such as my adoration for Horror, creepy makeup looks and interest in serial killers.

Final Frightdown: Wednesday Addams
For this quick Halloween look, I am turning to one of my icons in life- Ms Wednesday Addams.
Wednesday has everything that fits this spooky season; a morbid outlook, an all black wardrobe and the signature pigtails. This makes her such an easy option for Halloween dress up. All you need is a black dress, hairbands, black eyeshadow, black liquid liner and a resting b*tch face!

Final Frightdown: Crybaby
Friday, October 27
Welcome back! My last post was a Mrs Potato Head inspired look and today's post is also influenced by Melanie Martinez. Crybaby is the protagonist featured in the songs of her album of the same name. If you are familiar with Melanie's work, you may be aware of the eccentric looks which compliment her work.
Final Frightdown: Mrs Potato Head
Thursday, October 26
For my third look in my Final Frightdown mini series, I decided to opt for a Mrs Potato Head look. Now, this isn't the Disney spud, but the reconstructed, cosmetic surgery damaged, character created by Melanie Martinez.
I love Melanie Martinez and I instantly knew I wanted to do a look (or two?) inspired by the dark sides of her album. Now, I am evidently not the first person to have created what is a botched plastic surgery makeup look, but I did take inspiration from the way Mrs Potato Head looks in Melanie's video.

Final Frightdown: Scarecrow

Welcome to the second look in my Final Frightdown posts. This mini series is for all of you out there who are still stuck for dress up ideas for Halloween.
Whether your makeup skills arenon existant limited or you just want something quick and simple to do, you are in the right place. Whilst my last post was a semi cute/creepy kitty look, today we are going for something which was created to cause fear.

Final Frightdown: Kitten
Monday, October 23
I live for Halloween. I pretty much spend every second of my life trying to make it spookier. I love horror films, creepy cute things and most importantly, playing with makeup.
I have decided to use my next few posts to create some last minute, easy to do, Halloween looks. So if you are looking for inspiration ideas as to who or what you can become this October 31st then you are in the right place.

Soph X Revolution: Review
Sunday, October 22
Soph Does Nails is one of my favourite Youtubers. She posts amazing tutorials and some very influential Primark Hauls which are responsible for a quarter of my wardrobe.
Not so long ago, she became a part of the Makeup Revolution team, adding content to their Youtube channel and also travelling to America to promote their products. It was during my recent trip to California that I, in a haze of jet lag, discovered that she was about to sell her own eyeshadow and highlighter palette in collaboration with the company. I was beyond excited! Makeup Revolution are by far my favourite company when it comes to eyeshadows, and I loved the colour selection for Soph's palette.

Autumn Favourites Haul
Tuesday, October 17
Autumn has well and truly cast its spell on us. From the falling, orange stained leaves to the huge collection of jumpers and the colour berry in shops, it is hard to resist the spookiest of seasons!
As someone who absolutely lives for Autumn, it is inevitable that I have picked up some things in stores which I wanted to share with you. Now, I haven't specifically searched out seasonal products but between my recent trip to the States (where Halloween is LIT) and the goodies Primark delivers, I have mounted a miniature pile of stuff in my room. So without further ado, let me share these finds with you.

Hello
I am back from my mini hiatus which occurred during my trip to the States.
I thought I would just post a quick piece on some things which I am planning to write over the next few months, with the hopes that if you're reading this, then you may also want to read them when they are posted!

My Disney Bucket List
Friday, August 18
Hello and welcome back!
As you may be aware, I am going to be visiting Walt Disney World and Disneyland California in September. I am beyond excited and, as it is my first time visiting these parks, I have a lot of stuff I want to fit in to my trip. With that, I present to you my Bucket List of things to do (with a video form at the bottom of this post, just in case you feel like watching an awkward emo talk about Disney).

MUA Silent Disco Palette Review
Friday, August 11
Hello and welcome back.
It's been a little while since my last makeup review, but that is not indicative of the amount of beauty items I have been buying. My bank account honestly hates me right now!
A few weeks back, I was watching one of my current favourite YouTubers (thisgirlcalledholly) rave about the MUA Silent Disco Palette. And of course, as the sucker for anything the internet tells me to buy, I did exactly that and purchased the palette.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
Thursday, August 10
Hello everyone
If you know me in real life, or have read any of my blog posts, you'll know that I am a pretty massive Disney fan.
Whilst I have been lucky enough to have visited Disneyland Paris on several occasions, I have always wanted to visit Walt Disney World. I can remember from the age of four seeing brilliant images of the piano shaped pools Disney hotels offer, dazzling fireworks in a variety of colours bursting through the night sky along with some of my favourite characters greeting guests. I have been mesmerised ever since, and with every bucket list I have ever started and scrapped with age, Walt Disney World has always been in my heart.

July 2017 Favourites
Wednesday, August 2
Hello and welcome back.
July was a month filled with weather that seemed to be just as indecisive as myself. However, it appears that whilst the rain continues to pour from a sunny sky, I have actually managed to get myself together and pick some of the things I've been loving for the past month! So let's get into it shall we?

Since I've Been Gone
Sunday, July 9
Hello and welcome back
It has been quite a few months since my last post. Given that 90% of my posts seem to start with some kind of apology for my absence, I think we can confirm that my dreams of being some Gossip Girl, super blogger will have to remain in my head!

Disneyland Paris April 2017
Thursday, May 25
At the end of March, myself and my closest pal from home headed off on a little Disney adventure to Paris. As Disneyland Paris are currently celebrating their 25th anniversary I would say this was the most magical trip I've had. There were characters on every nook and cranny dressed to the nines in the sweetest anniversary outfits, welcoming guests, spreading some sparkle and entertaining through the challenging weather.
My Vinyl Collection: April 2017
Wednesday, April 5
Hello everyone,
Almost a year ago I was gifted with the most magical possession to have graced my life, that was a smol, cute, red record player. Since then, I have built up quite a collection of records and I love them so much that I wanted to dedicate a post to them.

All Time Low: Eventim Apollo/ O2 Academy Birmingham
Sunday, April 2
Hello and welcome back to this very unloved and untouched bloggy thing. I'm sorry it has been a while since my last post, but I have been very busy doing emo things. Some of those things involved seeing All Time Low twice on their UK tour, and given how my last post about All Time Low got all soppy and heartfelt, I guess it is inevitable that this one takes the same route!

Makeup Revolution Retro Luxe Matte Lip Kits: Review
Thursday, January 19
Hello everyone,
I am finally back with my first proper post of 2017 (thanks to a broken laptop, lack of camera cable and a lot of screaming). What better way for me to begin the year than by writing up a review for a new product from my favourite makeup brand, which also happens to be my first beauty purchase of 2017!
I had been seeing the Retro Luxe Matte lipsticks all over Instagram and it was a clear that the hype was massive. I searched my local Superdrug, to which Revolution are exclusive, and found myself being unlucky in purchasing any of them! Everyday, someone new was posting all about how amazing these products were, and thanks to a little searching through the comments on posts, I found that the lipsticks were in fact on the Superdrug site, and given a spending ban I have placed myself on, I picked up only one shade in the range.

2017 Goals
Wednesday, January 4
Hello everyone,
at the start of 2016 I wrote a post regarding all of the hopes I had for the year. Generally I steer clear of 'resolutions' because I think it's a given that they never work out. Goals are just kind of things you can begin to work on, in my opinion, and don't necessarily have to be completely done and dusted once the year ends. Before I jump into my goals for this year, I want to take a look back on those I put in my 2016 post, and evaluate just how well they worked out!

I know we all want 2016 to RIP (that's rest in *broken* pieces) but I thought it would be nice if my first post of the New Year was a little summary of all the things I loved in 2016. I was going to make this a YouTube video but I am just very lazy and very busy atm and I really wanted to get this up before 2018! So here it is, my ultimate favourites from 2016:
