Hello and welcome to m February Bullet Journal post!
If you didn't see my last post for January, then check it out here.
So for this month, I'm just going to run through what my spreads looked like, and also any additions I have made for the beginning of March!


So this week was the week that I realised keeping up with how many hours sleep I'd had and what I'd eaten was getting a bit difficult. I also thought that my notes section was getting a bit useless because I could just write it in the day sections...


... so I scrapped the sleep/meal tracker all together, and replaced the notes section with a quote section, where I will write a quote that is relevant to that week.


So as you can see here, I worked a lot alongside uni so I put in a quote about being tired.


I wanted to switch up my weekly thoughts page and have some kind of structure, but for this week I was too busy to keep up with that idea!


This is the spread for this current week, I'm happy with everything in it, and I have marked it with a pink tab to show it is a new month! How is it March already?


Here is a better idea of my thoughts page, I blurred it out because it's personal haha. But I'm writing the day, and a quick overview of the day and my feelings.


So because it is March, I have done another monthly overview, and it's my birthday this month!!! I turn 21!
On the next page, I have a 3 Day Rule page. This means that is I see something I like, I will write it in here with the date, and then 3 days later I will come back to it and if I still want it, I'll buy it, if not then I won't. I'll put a tick or a cross as to whether I bought it or not.
I haven't done a spending spread because I didn't us it in February AT ALL, kinda annoyed that I wasted a page haha!


My final 2 pages so far look like this. On the left I have chores for the month, so things I want to get tidies up in my room! And on the right I have a self care tracker for the month. While I have the weekly tracker of things I want to do, these are the things I feel I should do in order to look after myself. Rather thsn have a green/red system like my weekly tracker, I am just going to mark the box if I've done it, or leave it blank if I haven't.

I hope you enjoyed this post, I really like doing these and hopefully I'll stay on track and have one monthly for you!
See you Monday!

Hello there! Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? I've been so busy with uni work and other things in my life that I just haven't had time to post! I do have a backlog of photos for post though, so hopefully I'll be back to my usual schedule.
Today I am showing you how I got this blue and purple eye look, so let's jump right in!



First of all I used Peach Smoothie by Makeup Geek as my first transition colour.


I then put Buon Fresco from the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette over top of this.


Then I put Lolita from the Nyx Hot Singles on top.


I tried to then put a bit of Fantasy by Colourpop right through my crease line, but I had forgotten how difficult it is to blend, so I wouldn't recommend doing this.


In order to try and soften that purple line, I used Passionate Purple from the Elf Loose Pigments.


I then put Coconut from Colourpop all over my lid.


To make the transition softer, I kept adding bits of the elf pigment and the Colourpop shadow, blending and packing until I was happy with the outcome. Then Input Solstice from Urban Decay on top of the Coconut shade to make a duochrome look.


I lightly smudged some of Nyx Karma Sutra on my lower lash line, but I wasn't too sure on it.


To highlight my inner corner and brow bone I used Hemisphere from the Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette.




For my lips, I first rook Power by Nyx.


Then I put Solstice from Urban Decay on top!








And there we have it! I hope you enjoyed this look, and I will be posting more soon!

Hey there and Happy Halloween weekend! Today I have a look that was inspired by pumpkins! I love pumpkin carving and I'm going to be carving on this weekend and I'm super excited!!
As expected, this is an orange look, and I used my new Milani eyeshadow, which I love! I'm definitely going to buy some more at some point.
I hope you enjoy this and that you're feeling super spooky this weekend!


First of all I used Peach Smoothie from Makeup Geek as my transition colour because it's such a light shade.


Then I used Substitute For Love from the Zoeva Cocoa Blend palette just a little bit below this to add some depth.


To brighten the orange tones, I put LOL by NYX all through the crease.


On my lid I put Bella Mandarin all over and blended it up into the LOL shade.


With a thick pencil brush I used Faint from the Naked Basics palette.


On the outer corner, up along the tape so it creates a sharp line, I blended in Beans Are White.


I did a really long wing because as you shall see...


I put 4 round face glitters from PS from Primark. You can always do this with eyeliner to create little dots, but I had these so I decided I'd use them!


I then blended Faint along my lower lashline.


And there we are!


On my lips I used one of the new NYX Liquid Suede's in Alien, it's a gorgeous black, I love it! (we all know I love them anyway haha)



I hope you enjoyed this post, and that it's got you in the mood for Halloween! This is obviously a more wearable look, but I will be doing a few looks over the weekend, one of them being my look for my costume, so keep an eye out!

Thanks for reading

Hello!

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I visited the butterfly farm in Stratford-Upon-Avon. It was really nice to do something different, and there were so many pretty butterflies, as well as koi, birds and two iguanas! I also went into the Caterpillar Room where the caterpillars cocoon themselves, but I avoided the Arachnid House and the Insect House because I'm a scaredy cat!

I thought I would share with you the photos I took from the day. I would definitely recommend going here, but dress light, no jackets otherwise you will boil to death as it is very warm inside. The best thing about the farm is that the butterflies, birds and iguanas can roam free, they are not constricted to just one small cage, there is plenty of space for them to fly and walk. But don't make my mistake, I accidentally fed fish food to the birds! Silly me!

You can find the website to the butterfly farm here, and students and seniors get a discount (yay!!)





































Thanks for reading, and let me know if you visit here in future, I'd love to know what you think!
