Just keep swimming.

Hello :)

Hope you are well lovelies

I'm just having a quiet Sunday so going to do a lil update.

I went to this restaurant with my mum, stepdad and boyfriend on Thursday, my mum insists we eat here on every birthday or similar occassion -.-

 I wore just plain black leggings with a small heeled shoe/boot and my pale pink blouse from H&M, oh and my watch by Ice. I usually wear bigger heels but I am just a tiny bit taller than my boyfriend so I feel like a giant next to him in my high heels :( 

I didn't really want to dress up much anyway, it was a quiet evening so it didn't matter too much. The bag I have is one I use most of the time, unless i have some extra things I need to take which won't fit in, in which case I will use a larger one one. But this is one of my favourites, it's so versatile and works with a lot of my wardrobe, it was from my local market for £10.

 They had this long tank by some of the tables so I was taking some pictures of the fish they had some weird ones in there but they kept hiding.

 How I forgot to take photo's of the best part (FOOD) I do not know, maybe 'cause I was super hungry ^_^

Anyway I had some Jasmine tea after the meal which is so yummy :)

Yesterday I went to help my boyfriend with the Christmas shopping which he had barely started. We managed to get most of it done thankfully. Then we went to the cinema to watch The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey which was really good  and quite funny, definitely worth watching. We then went for something to eat at Pizza hut and he also surprised me with an early present aww :)

I admit I much prefer action games than these horror type games, I just completed Red Dead Redemption which is a very good game and storyline. But he knows I love Silent hill, the movies, but I have only played on one of  the games once and got really freaked out. But that was years ago. So I thought I'd give it a go..

..I managed half an hour, if that.

 I got really scared playing this by myself, I am not usually a wimp when it comes to horror I have seen a lot scarier films but when it comes to playing scary video games it's another story. Yet I am determined I am to complete it, maybe I will listen to some upbeat music whilst playing it haha!

I got my nails done yesterday too. I did want to get something Christmassy like red with ribbons and bows on so they look like presents but I thought it's best to get something wintery instead because it will probably look dumb after Christmas otherwise. So I went a little dark with a jet black and lots of sparkles :)

I had a few silver snowflake stickers put on too, I wish I had white to stand out more but they are still very pretty anyway. What d'you think? ^_^

Ooooo Christmas eve is tomorrow, I'm sososo excited.

I will be posting different things in the new year, not gonna tell, so check back soon :)

Just want to wish you's a Merry Christmas if I don't post tomorrow too. 

So, Merry Christmas girlies, hope you have a lovely one.

Love, Zoë ❤

Leaving you with a catchy classic ;)

6 more sleeps

Hey, so only 6 more sleeps 'til Christmas who's excited?! I feel like a big kid haha. All preparations nearly done, just got to wrap a couple more presents. And need to get my nails done I need some Christmassy ideas for them hmm.
Anyway I had my final day in college today so since all the work was done we put on a little buffet ;)

Everyone brought some food in and we all chucked in a couple of quid to buy our tutor bunch of flowers and   a card with chocolates. To our surprise she also got everyone a little Christmas bag too which was sweet. Only took a couple pics here of the buffet, I have been so tired, lazy and fat today...

Was very yummy but not all eaten so I took a couple of cakes home :3

 Anyway I will do an update at the weekend at some point but going to go see a couple of my friends tomorrow and Friday. And it's also my stepdad's birthday tomorrow so we're going for a meal. Can you believe I couldn't find a card anywhere with stepdad on the front! ?

So anyways if you're reading hope you have a nice Christmas all the best :)

Much love

Zoë x

 A bit of Cash ;)

Lenses!

Hey girlies,
firstly I apologise for not doing any posts in the last couple weeks, I have been really ill with a flu type thing and had no energy whatsoever. Spent last week coughing my guts up, so not pretty! I just got a bit of a sore throat still but I am a lot better so thought I would do this post.
I got bored of wearing my green lenses all the time so I decided get some new ones I wanted to get more natural looking colour so I got brown, which is also my natural eye colour. I got a diameter of 14.5 so my eyes will still stand out yet be natural for a change. The previous ones I wore were by Geo they aren't the most comfortable but they are good lenses and the colour is really nice. I get my lenses from Honey Color. Never had a problem with them always delivered on time and well packaged. They also give you a cute free lens case with every pair of lenses purchased. I have a collection building up...

Anyway I got these lenses by Hyper, in the platinum series. They are called Hyper Platinum Brown and cost me £14.09 with £12 extra for express shipping (4 working days). 

They came in this box

inside were these 2 containers containing the lenses in solution. - I took this after I had removed the metal lids which seal them in properly.

With them I got this cute frog contact lens case ^__^

And this is how they look on my eyes...

Well they actually look a lot darker but the camera flash makes them look lighter hence making my pupils look really big haha! I wasn't sure about these lenses when I first tried them, I thought they were a bit alien like, but after wearing them a few times I like them a lot. They have a natural colour and give that cute big eye look :) They are so comfy,I have worn them for 8 hours and my eyes do not feel dry or irritated at all.

Just realised this is my first review :o

Sorry if it's not great or very informative just wanted to share :)

Here are some other pics :)

ta-rah for now :) xxx

The drops of rain they fall all over

Yes the weather has been wet today and also little bit of snow but also got my Blink 182 tat :D

Cannot express how much I love this band spent like half my life listening to them and never get tired.

Might seem a bit crazy or OTT to get a tattoo because of that but why not it looks really cute.

It is on the back of my right leg. This is just before i cleaned it up when I got home

The right way up haha

I also got another tattoo I was going to get my boyfriends name tattooed on but I have seen how this can be a bad idea, not only that I think a smybol or image is more elegant and meaningful so I chose to get the infinity symbol, which looks a bit like the number 8 but sideways, just to say like forever. I think it's romantic, let's hope he impressed I haven't told him yet he's not a lover of tattoos.

I think it's quite pretty because it's so small. I was advised not to go any bigger because if it is on the crease it can affect the tattoo over a short time period. I took a risk in having it done because she also said some people end up with patchy tattoo because the skin here is different, like if I had it done on the top of my finger she said it would be ok but even if it does go patchy on the side of my finger I can have it touched up free.

 This one was way more painful than on the leg. The other didn't really hurt much at all. Also it only cost me £30 for both tattoos. So happy with them. I use Bapanthen as an aftercare cream which is just as good as the other tattoo creams and I keep them in cling film for the majority of the time. I apply these at least 6 times a day. Any way that's all the updates bai <3

Lights

Lights, Lights, Lights,

Got these in the post today! They're from Ebay. They are little fairy lights with lanterns on sooo cute but they're a Christmas present for my cousin, however I may invest in some myself :3

 I didn't want to remove them from the box in case I couldn't get them back in as neatly

 These are when they're switched on.

I also got these glasses from Ebay. It was buy one get one free. I bought them for my friends birthday she wants to go for a night out in fancy dress as geeks so I will wear a pair of these not got an outfit yet though. I think the pink suits me better not sure.

Just took this of a different makeup look I did before I went to the cinema to watch Rise of the Guardians on Tuesday which was awesome ;o

I did have pink blusher on but can't see it here.

Also aware my contacts look odd here haha! I'm getting bored of them going to buy some brown circle ones soon and embrace my natural colour ^^. However my hair is another story and I am sick of bein all natural,  haven't dyed it in over a year to prevent damage I used to bleach it a lot and have it in short style and bright colours which is nice until the frazzled ends from bleaching and constant straightening. It's getting boring now, any suggestions?

Anyways I'm so excited for today, I'm getting 2 tattoo's done by a great artist who has done my previous tattoo. Don't think I'd go to anyone else. I am going in about half an hour so will post pics this evening at some point :)

Manchester and Markets

Hiya girlies, hope you are all well.

Here's a beautiful song to listen whilst reading :D

I had a great day in Manchester saturday I didn't get much shopping done though. Regarding outfits, I only got some shoes. I saw them a while back and wasn't too keen on them but they have grown on me and I decided I want a pair, however my mum took the opportunity to buy them for me and I can't wear them 'til Christmas now boooo haha!

I took some pics before though

Here they are :

Only £35 

 Not how it looks

large platform 

 Spike coated heel

They are so comfy. I didn't think they would be, looking at the height, but the platform takes a lot off. I can't wait to wear them. I got them in the Arndale, I think the shop was called Diva shoe or something like that. Never heard of it before. It was one the bottom floor anyway. Or alternatively you can get them very similar from Missguided. There are other similar ones too if you go on the footwear section.

I also got some earrings from Primark for £1

These pics are from the markets.

 Gorgeous lights

I didn't take any pics at eye level because it was so so so busy all you could see was people everywhere. It was very claustrophobic. 

 Manchester was rammed, as you can see -.-
It was a good bar though they have mulled wines, coffee, teas, hot chocolate, fruit punch and food.

 Not really sure what this is about

I don't think I will be going to Manchester again any time this Christmas, I will stick to online shopping or shopping in my hometown. I've made a few purchases from ASOS so I will show you them when they arrive which should be sometime this week ^^
