1. A good film

As a teenage girl, I love most movies everyone else does... except The Hunger Games. Shocker, I know, but I just don't like them! The books were good, but I just don't get the movies. My favourite films of all time are The Kings Speech and About Time, though Harry Potter is my favourite series. For a night in I'd recommend About Time. It's amazing. Especially because the lead male actor is Irish. Domhnall Gleeson is just ❤️. The storyline is the perfect balance between sci-fi and rom-com, and the cast are brilliant

2. Tasty food :)

Where I live, nothing beats Dominos. McDonalds don't deliver and I'm not a huge fan of Apache. Supermacs is fine but I don't care for Papa Johns, and for a night in, I like pizza :) Dominos might not be the cheapest takeaway, but they have great coupon codes and meal-deals.

3. Blankets, Pjs and slippers!

Coziness is a must :) Grab as many blankets, duvets and pillows as you can find, and build a fort on your couch :P Throw on you favourite or most comfortable pajamas and put on your slippers. You are now dressed for a great night in :)

4. Mini-spa

Everyone loves to be treated to a mini-spa :) You'll most likely need nail polishes and face masks, but you could also try face-scrubs and night-creams. Recently I've been reading about pore-strips, and I think they'd be perfect for a pamper session during a night in :)

Wallpapers #1

I'm so sorry that I haven't been blogging much lately, but I've fallen in love with a new hobby. I have just started to make iPhone wallpapers and lock-screens! I honestly don't think they're very good, but I only started a bit over a week ago :)

Let's Talk Blog Challenge | #3 Birthday Box | Things I'd Like To Try

It's crazy that it's week three already! This challenge is hosted by Sarah Hamersley from AtTheBeautyDesk, and you should really check out her blog- I love it!

-♥-♥-♥-

1.  Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

This foundation appears in so many YouTube beauty tutorials, and I really want to try it out. It would take quite a but of effort for me to get it though, as I think that the only shops in Ireland that stocks Nars makeup are Brown Thomas and House Of Fraser, and the closest Brown Thomas is over an hour away from where I live, and the closest House Of Fraser is almost four hours away. In Brown Thomas this foundation is €40, and on the Nars website it's €41, so maybe I'll try it next time I'm in BT. I have no clue what shade to get, so ordering online is out of the question ;(

2. Benefit Boi-ing Concealer

I have incredibly bad dark under-eye circles, and I hve a feeling this concealer will do the job. It has gotten great reviews everywhere, and even though Benefit suggest their Erase Paste for under-eye circles, I really do need te industrial-strength coverage that Boi-ing gives. I also have a lot of redness and a very uneven skin tone, (don't I have skin from hell!) and Boi-ing looks as if it would cover up all my imperfections :) I'm so excited as Boi-ing concealer is 10% off in Debenhams. You only save €2.40- it's down from €24 to €21.60- but every euro saved is, well, you know... A euro saved :)

3. Nisim F.A.S.T Shampoo and Conditioner

I cut my hair to slightly below shoulder- length at the end of February, and I really miss my long locks :( My hair also grows really, really slowly. I don't think my hair has even grown an inch since the start of March. I've read about these products all over the internet, and the reviews are mostly good. I'm hoping to grow my hair seven inches. It's a very unrealistic target, but hopefully in a few years I'll be back to my long tresses. I really want to try the F.A.S.T shampoo and conditioner but they are extremely pricey. In Boots, a 300ml bottle of shampoo and conditioner set comes in at €32.99, so I don't think I'll be trying these products out for a while...

4. Blonde Dip-Dye

Okay, so I do have strawberry-blonde hair, but I think that a blonde dip-dye wouldn't look too bad. You might be gagging at the thought of ginger fading into blonde, but in my school picture way back in 2007, and the flash went a little bit wrong and it kind of made it look like my hair faded into blonde, and honestly I love it! I'll probably get it done eventually :) What do you think?

5. Rimmel 9-in-1 BB Cream

Some days I just can't be bothered going through my usual beauty regime, so I just apply BB cream. I have an old one from Penney's, but I think I'd like to try a better brand of BB cream now that I've become more committed to makeup :) This BB cream sounds amazing, as it claims to do 9 actions. Pretty great right? It retails at €8.95, so honestly the price isn't too bad for all that it promises to do. I think as this is quite reasonably priced I'll be purchasing this sometime :)

Let's Talk Blog Challenge | #2 Summer Essentials | My Summer Playlist

I'm so sorry that this post was late, I had it scheduled to post yesterday at 8, but something went wrong :( Anyway, Its here now and I hope you enjoy it and have a listen to some of the songs I mentioned.

 I can't believe it's week two already! The Let's Talk Blog Challenge is hosted by Sarah Hamersley from At The Beauty Desk, so have a look around her blog (it's one of my favourites!). Anyway, I have put together a little music playlist perfect for summer day on the beach or wherever you find yourself this summer :)

-♥-♥-♥-

1. Summer Paradise - Simple Plan And Sean Paul

This song is by amazing. It has such a lovely Caribbean feel, and I can just imagine singing this song on a lovely warm day by the sea. Since the song came out in 2012, I have been welcoming summer with this song, and it just feels like the perfect song to celebrate summer when it finally arrives in Ireland after what feels like eternal winter.

-♥-♥-♥-

2. SING - Ed Sheeran

I think that this song is more suited to a party atmosphere somehow. It's quite different to what you'd usually expect from Ed Sheeran, but nevertheless I love it. I can't wait for 'X' to be released on the 23rd of June, and the song I'm most looking forward to is 'Nina', as I have a feeling it's about Nina Nesbitt ;)

-♥-♥-♥-

3. Way In The World - Nina Nesbitt

Even though it's not one of Nina Nesbitt's newer songs, it's still one of my favourites. The lyrics are just so true and the song is so catchy! The music video is set on a beach, and I would just love to have beaches like that in Ireland. We don't have much boardwalks or seaside arcades over here... Anyway, this song is just so beautiful and summer-y that I had to include it in my playlist.

-♥-♥-♥-

4. Riptide - Vance Joy

I have adored this song since last September, and I haven't stopped listening to it since. I have to say I'm not a very big fan of the music video though. I love the concept of having the whole song portrayed literally, but the theme gets a bit too dark for me. The song id quite abstract, and I guess without the music video it would be quite hard to imagine what "all my friends are turning green" actually means.

-♥-♥-♥-

5. Big Bad World - Kodaline

I really wanted to have a Kodaline song in my summer playlist, but I couldn't decide on one. I chose this song at random, and I've started to love it even more than High Hopes. I think that it's so true like all of Kodaline's songs. I have read through some of the comments on the video, and people are comparing them to U2, saying that 'They are probably the best musicians that ever came out of Ireland'. I 100% agree :)
