I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for a magazine freebie. I usually always have a browse to see if there are any magazines with good freebies that I can pick up. It's usually Nails Inc nail polishes that are floating about in almost every fashion magazine which is great for me as the polishes are usually about £8 each - winning! For a while, the freebies in magazines have been a bit poo but I think this month has to be one of my most favourite months for magazine freebies as they include three great high-end brands and three great products. Woohoo! 

I am being a little lazy as I will be doing the reviews in a separate post as I mainly just wanted to share this with you all - being the lovely person that I am - so you can all go and purchase before they all sell out.

There are so many “wedding traditions” nowadays, I bet you don’t actually know what the history or meanings are of some traditions. The most familiar tradition you’d have heard is the Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Lucky Sixpence in her shoe. Albeit most forget the sixpence element but it’s still the same. According to The Knot, this tradition is relating to an old English rhyme about objects for the bride to include in her wedding outfit or carry on her big day as good luck charms. Usually these tokens are given from your mother, sister or other relatives. Although its usually the maid of honour’s job to arrange this for you, it’s much more common now for brides to just get these themselves. If you are looking for ideas for a family member, friend or even yourself then look no further as I have a few ideas for you to hopefully suit every bride.

Planning a wedding abroad is rapidly becoming the ‘in thing’ with newlyweds nowadays, not only are you more likely (okay more or less guaranteed) to have nicer weather but the overall wedding costs are a lot cheaper. Well for the Bride and Groom anyway. Win! Usually, when choosing to get married abroad you would have already had a location in mind. This maybe your favourite holiday destination, somewhere that is connected to you personally or you may have family and friends there. Some of the favourite destinations (or the ones that I see pop up the most) are Spain, Italy, Santorini, Cyprus or the French Provence. Wherever you decide , the most important thing is make sure it’s exactly how you want it and you do your research!

Whether you are going on a weekend away, travelling with work or stopping at your friends for a cosy sleepover you are going to need an overnight bag filled with your essentials to help make your stay more comfortable. I am a complete worrier when it comes to stopping somewhere, what if I don’t pack the right things, or what happens if I forget something? So I decided to share with you a list that I follow when packing an overnight bag.

Too Faced is a brand that knows how to have fun, yet still produces high quality (cruelty free might I add) make-up, that's inspired a love of Paris, and oozes ultimate glamour and femininity. Too Face has grown into a key player within the beauty industry, creating an innovative, cruelty free cosmetic brand.

I was first lusting after Too Faced's Better than Sex mascara after seeing it in a beauty subscription box a few years ago, and after trying it, I just knew that I had found the one. Unlike other mascara brushes, Better than Sex has an hour-glass shaped brush which is the perfect silhouette to separate, coat and curls each lash, while giving extra attention to adding volume in the corners of your eyes. The brush handle is heavier than the rest of mascara, and if I'm honest, I'm unsure why, but the added weight works - and I like it. 

The formula contains collagen, to help stretch and define your lashes, to create a full eye catching look, in just one coat. And, if desired, adding a second coat will create a more dramatic look, with super long, thick, black lashes. Now for the most important part of the review, the removal. I admit, I could be absolutely head over heels in love with a mascara, but if it's a nightmare to remove, then I just won't use it again. 

The first thing I do when I get home from work, is remove all my make-up so I'm ready to curl up on the sofa and relax for the evening. So the last thing I want is to spend half my evening trying to remove my panda eyes. But you'll be pleased to know this is an absolute delight to remove, using plain old miccelar water. Just don't take notice of this review if you're wearing the waterproof version as I haven't tried it for myself.

The price is also surprising at £19.00, as for a mascara of this quality, I assumed the price tag would be over £25.00. Hand on heart though, I don't have a bad word to say about this mascara, and I couldn't even fault it if I tried. Despite me having a smutty chuckle when people ask what mascara I'm wearing, this really is amazing, and is Better than Sex.

If this was 5 years ago, I would have not in the position to write anything about saving money never mind giving you tips about it. But a lot has changed, and I’d like to think that in these past 5 years I have come really far and have learnt the basics of adulthood. Especially in terms of money. Oh sweet, sweet money!

I was somewhat of a shopaholic back then – okay I probably am still now – and I wouldn’t think twice about going out every other day shopping, eating out and partying at the weekends. Now I am a little more savvy, I mean I have a mortgage, I am self-studying towards a degree and I am also planning and paying for my own wedding (which it ain’t cheap) but don’t worry, being savvy doesn’t mean you miss out on having a social life, it hasn’t for me, so I have noted a few tips for you that help me save whilst still having a social life. Woohoo!

If you have followed my Living with PCOS series then you will know that I have been awaiting my results of my operation. Well this happened, on the 1st October. And if I am honest I don’t really know how to feel about the results. This post is probably going to sound like a huge waffle as I am just going to write my thoughts, but let’s go with it and see what happens.
So yesterday was a complete emotional roller-coaster, not only was I going to try on my wedding dress for the penultimate time before it’s finished being made but I also finally picked up my results following my laparoscopy – that was in June might I add, really NHS? – anyway, so I went to meet with the gynecology surgeon that completed my operation to see whats going on with my lady organs and hopefully I can go back to not having the worst pains ever when its that time of the month and having a normal sex life with my soon to be (very soon) husband.

Okay so I admit, this post might be a little “late” in some eyes seems Summer is well and truly over but there may be a few of you who are still planning a late Autumn break to escape the cold, wet British weather by jetting off to somewhere nice and hot. Likewise, I am off on my jollies - and to get married – within next couple weeks, so I thought I would help by sharing with you my pre-holiday beauty preparation.

Can you tell that I am going on holiday soon? With all of these “travel/holiday” related posts, I am guessing its become pretty obvious. But if not, then I am. Which is the reason I have been spamming you with holiday and travel tips, yano because I’ve been inspired and all that.

I am sat here, struggling to find the words to write or even title this post. I don’t want to be judged, pitied or people to think I am selfish if I don’t say the right words or address this issue in the correct manner. Truth of the matter is, there is no easy way to write my feelings down and there is no way to address this issue without potentially upsetting someone – probably myself – but I am going to give this a go.

My Dresser: Link
My name is Charlotte and I am a shopaholic. See that wasn’t so hard. Was it? I have urges that make me feel like I need to purchase something, so I do. When I feel sad, I shop. And it’s gone that one step further as I have actually bought something whilst asleep! Okay not literally, but I’ve woke up in the middle of the night, can’t get back sleep and purchased something whilst half asleep and then when I wake up I didn’t remember a thing. Until I saw my bank statement and my received my delivery confirmation email. Big whoops!

I often get people (even friends) take the “mickey” out of my blog. Some people think writing about whatever you want in your spare time, somewhere on the web is daft. And it may well be, but it’s my choice and I’d much rather be sharing my thoughts on my little space on the web than socialising with negative people. Ain’t nobody got time for dat!
