Lil Miss Ecstatic: 21st Birthday Presents :)

Hi guys! I'm on a roll with blog posts today LOL! Anyway, my brother and sister finally gave me my birthday presents (I was 21 on 19th Jan). They bought me 21 presents! Here's what they got me:

  21 birthday mug (or whatever it is :s)

 Clutch bag! I love leopard print!

 Some teddies <3 My room is full of them!

 A coaster with my face on it! LOL

 Some DVD's

 Did I tell you? I love photos :)

 Bourjois Bronzer <3<3

Some vintage style earrings

 Mac bronzer in Refined  Golden (my all time favourite bronzer!)

 DKNY perfume

Twilight calender <3<3<3

 Coin purse. I prefer coin purses to wallets as they are much smaller and i don't like to take too many items with me (for security reasons).

 Rimmel lipstick in Red Fever. I'm wearing it right now - my first red lipstick. I love it :)

 Ferrero Rochers. My friends call me Ferrero Roshni! The coconut ones taste AMAZING!

Some slippers

They also bought me some clothes, but the photos did no justice! I might take a photo of myself just wearing them!
My bro and sis put the presents in this basket and wrapped the presents up in a carrier bag lol! 

By the way I'm not bragging or anything lol! I'm so shocked my brother and sister did this for me - it was so sweet and thoughtful! 



:) Lil Miss Pondering: In and out = and Aims of the Month

Hi guys! I'm actually meant to be doing this post in March but I'm going to be very busy so I decided to do it today :)

In:
Spring time. It's still quite chilly outside but the sun is finally out. When I see the summer I instantly think of the beach, having fun and chilling out. The days are much brighter - and this has definitely lifted up my mood :) 

Cricket. The Cricket World Cup is here! I've always loved cricket (it's quite big in Indian families!). Sometimes I'm not bothered to watch it because it's SOO long! I'm rooting for India or England to win! They are currently playing right now. Random fact: Sachin Tendulkars mother came to my 1st birthday party in India! (My claim to fame!)

Image is from here. Botanics Face Brush. I first read about this baby when Makeup Savvy did a post about it. Read her amazing review here. This brush has made a massive difference to my skin. Prior to using the brush - I had bumps all over my face. The St. Ive's exfoliator had broken me out and I was too scared to buy another exfoliator (as I have sensitive skin I have to be very careful when buying new skincare products). Now, my clean looks so much cleaner! My skin is nowhere near perfect - I still have spots and redness but it looks clean and glowy :) I use this twice a day for about 2 minutes each time!

Motivation. In the past week, I've become more motivated to study harder and more motivated to work out. When I do nothing - I feel bad, which makes me sad. If I do my studying and my workout - i feel so much better! I hope I continue to stay motivated :)

Waking up early. I've been waking up at 6.45 instead of 7am! I get a lot more things done in the morning. I am one of those 'early to bed, early to rise' kind of people (my mother has instilled this mantra since I was a child). My aim is to wake up at 6am and do a workout and do some studying. In the evenings I just like to chill, relax, read blogs, and speak to my friends. 


Soup. I've been drinking a lot of soup this month. It really fills me up and I just love drinking it. I drink the processed crap from Tesco - which probably is not very good for me! Maybe one day I'll make my own soup. Who knows? LOL 

Out:
Criticism. Finding out bad things about yourself. One thing I hate is when people criticize me (who actually likes it?). I'm sure it is good for the long term but I hate it - it makes me feel worse. I've been told that I speak too fast (lol), sound sarcastic (I don't mean to!), and the fact that I get angry at times(only around certain people). No one is perfect - but I'm going to try and take these into account and make myself a better person.

Facebook. I swear I have a love hate relationship with facebook! I actually prefer Twitter. I feel like I can be more myself. Some people on Facebook blatantly stalk you and try to find out all the gossip so I've had to limit my profile. Maybe one day I'll delete it completely but I love chatting to all of my friends and family that I hardly get to see!

Green tea. Green tea has a bit of testosterone in it. I used to drink three cups a day and I noticed my face was a bit more hairy and I had lots of spots on my jawline. Once I stopped drinking it the symptoms went. I drink the odd cup now and then - but I'm warning all of those serial green tea drinkers - don't overdrink!

New addition to my in's and out's:
Aims for March:
  1. Be kind to everyone - even if they annoy the hell out of you!! (haha)
  2. Wake up at 6am and work out.
  3. Make vegetable and fruit juices.
  4. Use DSLR way more! 
  5. Study way harder.
  6. Blog a little more (if I can) - try to do some FOTD's (i've become very shy in front of the camera lol)
  7. Carry on being confident :) 
  8. Stop rushing everything. Just keep calm.. and eat a cupcake.

What are you Ins and Outs?
What are your aims for March?

Lil Miss Cheap: Awesome Body Shop Offer *EXPIRED

What's up guys? :)
I have a lot of energy today.. I'm usually sprawled under my duvet on Thursday evenings due to sheer fatigue.  Anyway, one of my good friends told me about an offer! If you pay £12 you can attain £30 worth of products at Body Shop! It directed me to the Groupon site and I purchased 2 vouchers. I can't wait to spend it! You can buy a maximum of 5 vouchers!
OFFER has ENDED!

Here's what I'm planning on purchasing:

Body Shop Shimmer Waves Bronzer in Bronze (£16). I actually own this but it's in a tattered mess right now and therefore I need a new one! I love this and would highly recommend it!

Sandalwood and ginger scented candle. (£10). I went to the Body Shop with my mother last week and had a sniff of this. I instantly fell in love with this - it smelled very expensive!

Vanilla and Tonka bean home fragrance oil (£3.50). I have burner at home (from Wilkinsons) and I love to burn oils when I'm in need of some pampering. One of my favourite scents is Vanilla so I will be purchasing this!

Moroccan Argan and Orange Body Souffle. (£9). As I'm going to Morocco this year.. I might as well get into the spirit! I've heard many great things about Argan oil.. and I love citrus-sy scents so I would consider purchasing this!

Hemp Hand Protecter (£2.50). I've read many wonderful reviews on this product.. and as I've recently run out of handcream this could soon be in my handbag.


Shimmer Cube in warm (£16). I love neutral colours. You can wear them during the day time and during the night. I think £16 is quite expensive though, but these products would be handy for travelling!

What will you be purchasing?

Offer expires 25 May 2011.

Lil Miss Blinged Out: New bracelet from Dorothy Perkins +



♥Happy Monday everyone!
♥ I purchased a new piece of jewellery today. I wanted this bracelet for a long time! I noticed that all of the jewellery in Dorothy Perkins was 25% off!
♥ I further used my NUS discount card to nab another 20% off!
♥ All in all.. I only paid £7.49 for this gorgeous bracelet.
♥I'm going to wear this bracelet everyday. I haven't got any pretty bracelets - only big, chunky bangles (which annoy me when they rattle). 
♥This bracelet is glamorous, yet sophisticated.
♥The bracelet is made from the Ribbon and Asher company (It can be found in Dorothy Perkins)

 Have you purchased any jewellery recently? xxx
