Life through my lens #11 (Updates!)

Hello everyone,

Well it has been far, far too long since I last sat down and blogged. What with being on holiday, working and  seeing my friends and family I have been beyond busy, but in  the very best way. I though about going through these instagram collages and captioning them as usual, but a) that would take you an age to read and b) I think these picture speak for themselves and sum up a lot of my summer. In terms of updates I have a lot to tell you all!

Ok so first thing, I now have glasses. I need them for distance and for when my eyes feel all tired, meaning when/if I learn to drive I will have to wear them, I might do a post wearing them at some point! I've also been loving work, everyone there is so lovely and I feel like  proper part of the team now. I had a really lovely week in Wales (it didn't rain constantly like the forecast said) and it was so good to catch up with my family.I did try to take some outfit photos, but only one has turned out half decent so we shall see if I actually post them!

One fab thing that happened lately was finally getting to meet Lily! We had the best day in Birmingham and I have a full post on it coming soon.

 And the thing that has given many a sixteen year old a sleepless night, GCSE results. I am chuffed to bits to tell you that I achieved an A* in French, Textiles, English literature and English language, an A in Science, History, Humanities and Drama and a B in Maths! I really couldn't be happier with my results and am honestly still in a sate of shock. It is so satisfying to realize that hard work pays off and all that effort was worth it! I hope you all got the results you were hoping  for, let me know! I'll be starting Sixth form in September, studying English Literature, French, Psychology and Government and politics- I do and don't want to start in equal measures. 

I have to add that this summer has been one of the best I have ever had, I've done so much and just loved every week, I can't really express how much fun I've had and the people I've shared it with have just been the best.

I'm going to do my best to get back to blogging regularly, I've missed you all! 

What have you been up to lately?

Review: Lush Space Girl bath bomb.

Hello everyone, 

 I hope your having a good week, I know I'm so glad that Friday is on the horizon! 

I received my Mock exam grades on Wednesday- I did far, far better than I thought I had. I was so  relieved when I realized I passed (and passed well) most things apart from History - however I'm determined to work on that!

 In order to chill myself out after a rather stressful day, I broke out a Lush bath bomb, in the form of one of my favorites; Space Girl.

First off, I'm sure this is a) more sparkly, and b) more red than it used to be, but they're both pluses! I love the Parma Violet scent and the pretty lilac the bathwater turns - perfect for a detox.  Lush claims it has popping candy in it, however I'm not sure how much it adds to the overall experience, if anything at all. Unlike some other bath bombs I've tried, it doesn't leave such an oily/moisturizing feel on the skin once you're out of the tub (which for the record I quite like) so if you are not so keen on that, then this would be a winner for you. Over all, I will defiantly be purchasing this again and it certainly helped send me off to sleep after a long day! 

Have you tried Space Girl? What have you been up to at school lately?
