Tired | Mini Catch-up Post.

Hello! Sorry it's been such a long time (a week, feels like more) since I posted. Life at the moment is hectic, I just started a new job and I feel so out of my comfort zone it's crazy. My spare time has consisted of sleeping, mattress buying and watching far too much Supernatural. I got through the first season in about 4 nights.

The giveaway will close in about a days time, I'll announce the winner late on Saturday night hopefully! Last chance to enter!

Hope everyone is well! I have so many posts to catch up on, I'm looking forward to it though! Will probably be Monday before I have a proper post up. Busy busy!

Hello to any new followers! Sorry it's a bit boring at the moment, it's not usually like this...

Wednesday Waffle Weeks 16, 17, 18 + 19 | Paramore, Gilmore Girls and Reviews.

So I've been trying to write this for a while now, but Tumblr is distracting me. I've not been spending as much time on there as I used to, but it has sucked me in this evening. It has been quite some time since I've done one of these posts, a month to be exact. You would imagine that I have some super exciting excuse for missing all of these catch up posts, but no, just life and work getting in the way. Not that life isn't reason enough, it is.
Work has been crap, was left in charge for a couple of weeks. Crap. On a happier note I got a new job and I start it in 10 days.
During the past month I've also caught up with friends and family which has been great. I've also been ill rather a lot, from a flu to a rather nasty ear infection that seemed to affect my entire head and body. Boo, I'm still getting over that one! Dury duty selection next Wednesday, first time I'm up for it. Scary stuff...

On to what I've been loving this month...

Music.

Paramore - Paramore (self titled album).
Hanson - You can laugh but I love Hanson, they have loads of albums. It's not all about Mmmbop, I swear!

Birthday goodies.

It was my 23rd birthday on Sunday. Oh my, I still can't believe it. I really don't feel that old and I can't believe how fast this year has passed. It's insane.
The year is definitely getting better and better as it goes on, for me it did not have the best of beginnings. That's in the past though, and so, onward!
Does that even make sense?

There weren't many things I wanted this year, but then again my thoughts are never organised enough to realise what I want until it's too late, so I did better than usual! I've had my eye on the Naked palette by Urban Decay (do I even need to say who it's by at this point?!) for quite some time. It may be apparent that I'm (sort of) new to make-up, beauty etc, and the thing I've heard people rave about the most is the Naked palettes. I've read a lot of reviews and seen many a swatch and I just fell in love. My wonderful boyfriend was kind enough to buy me it, and I couldn't be happier. It came with a little pot of the primer potion as well as a brush. I probably won't go on about it much more as I doubt I could add much more insight into it than others already have done. It's totally worth the hype! I've used it a lot this week.
I also got another palette from my friend, this one is by Technic. It's amazing too, it has a good range of eyeshadows (both neutrals and brights), as well as four blushers and a few lip colours. I'm really looking forward to using it.

We also went to see Maximo Park in Glasgow and spent the day browsing the shops.We did venture into Frasers, but it was super busy and I get a bit freaked out by that. So I stopped by the MAC counter as well as the She Uemura one, but like I said it was very busy as it was Saturday. We also went to American Apparel and Urban Outfitters, I love going there because we don't have those stores where I am. On Sunday as few friends came up to the flat then we went out dancing. Lots of fun! Then on Monday night Kyle and I went to Nandos with my parents and my little sister. She was very excited which was very cute. Overall, I had a great weekend!
Photo time!

Getting ready to leave.

Keeping up.

I really need to keep up with this blog! I actually thought I was doing alright with it this year, then I noticed I've only posted twice last month and the same for this month, shocking!

This post is just a little catch up, what I've been up to etc.
Here goes!

I normally go to the cinema a lot as I have an Unlimited card for Cineworld. For £14.99 per month, you can watch as many films as you like, such a bargain as it's at least 6-7quid for one film! I've been going less recently because of work etc. Three films I have been to see are Taken 2, Looper and Paranormal Activity 4.
First off Taken 2 is along the same lines as the first one, but without quite as much impact. You kind of know what to expect, still a great watch though if you're into fast paced action. Liam Neeson is still as bad-ass.
Looper is really original and interesting. You get into the story right away, but without feeling like you're being overloaded with information. One thing that takes some getting used to is Joseph Gordon-Levitts face...now that sounds mean, and we all know he is very handsome. It's because he they have given him a Bruce Willis nose (as he is playing a young version of him, which is very strange!) and he is talking like him too. Even his mannerisms, it's brilliant! One of my favourite actors playing another of my favourite actors, and so well. Overall, totally worth a watch. Emily Blunt is pretty great in it too. Don't want to give to much away, but I would watch it again.
Paranormal Activity 4? Meh. They really need to give it up, or at least start being more creative and actually explain something about the coven. It's just getting even more predictable. Don't get me wrong, I was still a bit jumpy and reluctant to actually go and see it, but it could have been much scarier.
Those are just my opinions though, so it obviously depends on what you like! Captain Obvious.

Also a couple of weekends ago we had our flat-warming party. It was great, really fun to catch up with people and show them our flat! This is the first time Kyle and I have lived away from our parents so it's all very new and exciting.
We took some photos too of course...
