She Inside - First order of many (I hope)

I have visited the Sheinside website many times and have always been tempted to buy things but after reading many mixed reviews online, I have been put off. But, one day I spotted a couple of things that I really wanted so decided to take the plunge.

One thing that concerned me was import taxes and such, I was very relieved when it arrived and I had no charges to pay.

Next up was delivery times. I believe they are based in China. but I could be wrong. Either way, orders are being sent from abroad. While the website says delivery times can be from 5 to 15 days, many complained saying they took many weeks, I was pleasantly surprised when my parcel arrived yesterday, it would have been a week since I placed that order, which puts it at the lower end of their delivery estimate which was great.

The prices are pretty reasonable and from what I've seen so far, the quality is good. I have yet to try them on properly, but I am going out for a meal tonight, wearing 2 of the things I ordered, so this will test what they are like.

This is what was in the package,

The items don't show up clear enough so I will leave a direct link to the item on the sheinside website.

First up is a simple Black Elastic Waist Zipper Ruffle Skirt Click Here To Go To Website

To go with the skirt I picked a Black Long Sleeve Lace Skull Pattern Sweater Click Here 

And for the warmer months a White Ruffle Sleeve Vintage Floral Loose Dress Click Here

I'm really looking forward to trying them and seeing how the style and so on. Fingers crossed everything goes well, and I will be ordering from them again. Just a quick note, a lot of the items they sell seem to come in one size, of the three I ordered, only the sweater had a choice of sizes, so I'm not sure what the fit of the others is going to be like.

Aims for the year - overcoming stressful situations and year plans.

I know its a bit late in the year to start making resolutions but I have been busy pretty much non stop for the past few months and I hope things will be settling done soon so I can get some tasks done. I have a few things that I want to do and they range from overcoming personal battles to reviewing products and making haul posts/videos.
Here goes,

First off I want to try and overcome some personal issues and to do this I need to face my demons. I guess you could say I suffer from a form of anxiety. On a general day to day basis I'm ok, but when it comes to new things, I can have minor panic attacks. Going to places such as the doctors and dentist can have a bad effect on me. I'm not scared of them, I just find it really intense being there, I can get all hot and flustered, my heart races, I feel like I cant breath and my head spins. It very hard to explain it and even harder to explain why it happens. Just writing about it now is making me uncomfortable, but I'm hoping to try and manage it better, and the first step is to write it down.
I have the same reactions when I go to shops for the first time, making phone calls or even using the drive-through at fast food places. Job interviews are the worst, and it doesn't matter how much I want the job, or how prepared I am, I always end up a sweating, shaking mess and the more I think about it the worse I get. I am trying to put myself in new situations to try and ease it but its very hard, but my aim this year is to keep trying.
I also have OCD, which isn't that bad generally, as most people don't notice me straightening things, or counting my steps etc, but when I get stressed it gets worse and I don't know what to do with myself sometimes.
It's at this point that you tube comes in. I was hoping to make some videos to try and help me and to build up my confidence. But even though I am talking to a camera rather than directly at people, I still find it hard, and I'm pretty shy so I usually avoid cameras so it's probably not the best thing to try and do. But I would like to do more things on there, I believe the more I try, the easier it will get, and maybe I'll even get some followers which could help me through it. I have some things on their way so I may just do a quick haul recording and stick to doing a full review in blog form.
On a more positive note, we have been looking into buying our first home. We've viewed some houses and been to the bank, the next task is to find our dream home. We are in no particular rush so hopefully we will find the right place. I have been planning however, I have my room plan scrapbook filling up, and I keep buying bits here and there to make it easier when the time comes.

Wow, I have been rambling a fair bit now. If need be, I can go into more detail on certain aspects and maybe even talk it over with someone, I'm always open to opinions and suggestions. The sun is shining so I am off for a walk. Take care, x

Jewelcandle review and discount code

I have just made my second purchase from http://jewelcandle.co.uk/ as I loved my last one. Part of the reason for getting another is because a family member wanted one so I thought I'd get her one for her birthday. This review is based on the first candle I purchased which was the Santa Clause one, which at the time was on sale. There are two sides to these candles, one is the candle itself which can burn for 10 hours and they smell lovely, but not too powerful, and the second is the surprise inside. I have chosen the rings on both occasions. The sizes tend to be the most common sizes so you may have to get it re-sized if it doesn't fit.

I'm impressed with the candle, the smell was lovely, the ring was nice but too big so I doubt I'll wear it and it's not quite my style so I wont be paying to get it made smaller, one downside is the price, the rind candles are about £25 which is pretty steep, I understand that a lot of good quality candles do sell for a lot but to me its too much for 1 candle, even more so as I would rather have 2 to make a symmetrical look to the display in the room. However, I do like them enough to purchase a new candle, this time I have gone for one of their limited edition candles in pink cherry, as well as the one I have chosen as a gift. I will update when I have used this one and let you know what I thing.

Here is a discount code for you to get 10% off.

Holiday Season

Its been a busy few weeks and it's going to get busier. Iv'e done about 95% of my gift shopping, a few are still in the post and I need to get 2 from town then Im done, I then have the mammoth task of sorting then wrapping them all. As usual, Ive gone over the top, I love to spoil my family and always go mad and this year is no different. 

Hopefully things will calm down soon and I can get some decent posts up. 

Happy Holidays

Another Lush haul - online purchase

I made my first purchase at Lush on Sunday, and I liked it so much I placed an order online. A write up of my visit to their store can be found HERE. It's a combined haul from that shopping trip. 
I didn't get any samples while I was in the store which I was disappointed about as there is so many products that's Id love to try but cant afford to buy them all. So I decided that when I make an order online I would request a few.
Their delivery times were rather impressive. I placed the order at about 2.30PM on Thursday and when I got home from work yesterday (Friday) my parcel was already there. It was all packaged well and there was a small black paper bag with the samples I requested.

As you can see, I purchased a few bits. They are as follows,

Fairy Tail scrub

Snow Fairy Shower Gel 100g

Christmas Eve Bubble Bar

The Hair Doctor Hair Treatment

Volcano Foot Mask

Sugar Scrub Shower Scrub

All are available on their website www.lush.co.uk

I hope to try all of the items over the next few weeks and I will write a review of them once I have tried them all. If there is a specific one anyone would like to know about, feel free to let me know and I can do a smaller review on it asap. 

Today's Haul and loosing my Lush Virginity

I've been shopping again, woohoo. The purpose of the trip was to get some Christmas gifts. which I did succeed in doing, but I did get a decent amount of things for me too, so I ended up with a few bags.

I received a Boots gift card for my birthday last week so we went there first, it was pretty busy and hot in there so I didn't get to look at much. I was hoping to get more than I did,  but as I didn't fancy fighting past everyone,I just got a few things.

The texture spray was part of a buy one get one half price and I was after a styling wax for my brother so I got this spray to make good use of the deal. I've never tried it before so I don't know how it will work with my hair. The nail varnishes are all by Barry M, they were also on an offer, which was 3 for 2. On the left is a Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Guava, and on the left is Matte Nail Paint in Vanilla, I picked these two as I try and pick colours which can be used all year round. Lastly at the top is just a clear all in one Basecoat, Topcoat and Nail Hardener.

Next I went to Primark. One of the bags in the pictures above contains gifts but I tucked them away so I didn't get a chance to take a picture, but they should be in my haul video if I ever manage to get it to upload. Some bits were from the sale racks and others are from the current range.

On the left are a few t-shirts, 2 are long one of which could actually be a dress its that long. The other 2 are shorter. In the middle are 7 pairs of tights in total. I want to try and wear some dresses and skirts this winter so tights are a must, and they are all different colours to liven the outfit up. Next to them is a peace belt. I actually thought it was a necklace as it was on the jewellery stand amongst the other necklaces, so that's how I'll wear it. There's a pair of red hot pants, not sure how I'll style them for autumn/winter, but at £2 I thought I may as well get them anyway. Below them is a white fluffy jumper, can't remember what what the actual feel of it is called.

These two items are my favourite things that I got from Primark, The jumper is really warm and cosy, and the 'necklace' adds that little bit of detail. doubt I'll ever wear it as a belt, so it will remain as a necklace to me.

Finally I went to Lush. I am no longer a Lush Virgin, YAY!

I've been on their website a few times lately and managed to hold off buying anything until I visited their store. I was a little bit disappointed as I wasn't able to get any free samples. There was a few products that I wanted to try but as I was getting a decent amount of bits anyway and couldn't afford to buy more. I was told they do offer samples but I guess on this occasion they didn't so I just picked up the bits I planned to buy. You can get all of these items on their website HERE.

The lady on the till was very friendly which is nice as some places they just throw things in the bag, so it was nice to get good service.

I got 5 things in the end, the Candy Mountain Bubble Bar wasn't on my to buy list but I thought I'd give it a go, but I may give it as a Christmas gift, I've not decided yet. I left it in the bag as it was very glittery and didn't want to get covered in it again. I originally went in to get the Popcorn Lip Scrub but the smell of the Bubblegum one was amazing so I got that instead. I'll have to make sure I don't eat it all instead of using it properly. I'm really looking forward to using all these products and hopefully I'll do a review on them soon.

I did film a video to show things better but it's corrupted somehow, so I may make a quick one again if I get time. I'll add it below if I manage to get it to work.
