Boohoo, a budget girls bestie !

Boohoo, every girls best friend.

So, in my old job, clothes was not an essential part of my job and I worked too much to warrant even buying new clothes. Wait, that makes me sound like a stripper. I just had a uniform. Yaaa know, that ol chestnut. So, after a much needed career change, fashion. The past month I have slowly become aware of how little I have in my wardrobe. And seeing that my boyfriends clothes occupy way over 2/3 of our clothes space. Summmmet had to be done. And guuurrrl, that S@#t cray. Let's just say, clothes have never been my strong point, too much bust and curve to dress, but I am slowly getting there.

And Boohoo did just the trick in helping me get there ! I was looking for quality, quantity, and money for my buck. Career moves don't always come with that desired pay cheque. Time is money people. I have heard of Boohoo before, tons of adverts, instagram, twitter and theYouYubers, OF COURSE. So thought I would check it out ... Annnnd well, after an hour of browsing a 100 pounds there, I was 12 items full. Now that aint bad.

5 Alice swing tops, of varying colours. A cardi, kimono, culottes, acid wash jeans, leggings, bodycon skirt, shift dress and a cuddly toy. I joke, no cuddly toy, but that would have been the icing. (N.B. everything is linked <3)

It arrived early afternoon, as stated on the ETA of delivery. And after my grandest achievement to date.
CONQUERING THE GRANNY SQUARE.
I was more than eager to dig in and have a fashion show. With dishevelled bed head hair and a juicy spot on my forehead, I looked the sex.

To my surprise, after feeling all morning, oh god, is this all going to fit, it did.
ALL OF IT.
Even the jeans.
I will repeat.
EVEN THE JEANS.

Happy as a cat. I did however, whilst ordering, get the tape measure out, checked the materials, to see if it was stretchy, had some give etc. So, a little bit of reading here and there does go a long way.

All in all. Love it. Fabulous quality. And probably one of the most comfiest jeans I have ever worn and body flattering tops to date !

So, if your looking for a quick closet over haul and are quite frankly bored of what Primark has to offer, check out Boohoo.

No, I was not sponsored to write this post. I would however like to thank my boyfriend for sponsoring the funds. You's the best.

Jess ! Just Another Blogger.

P.S Instagram followers, be aware, many OOTD will be 'appenin !

Summer lovin soundtracks !

One thing that always gets me giddy is some good ol tunes. And boy, I have a right old summer treat. I used to blog weekly about my music loves in my last blog, so, I thought, why not continue with the tradition ? And seeing as I haven't posted in a while, why not do what I do best ? My absence has not been all fun and frolics. Horrific sickness bugs, twice in two weeks might I add !!! have done nothing but recover my poor food intolerant tummy, worked, watched many a TV series and listened to music. Eating healthy out the window, well eating in general hasn't been the top of my list. Exercising, none of that too. And beauty, well, it aint been a pretty site I can tell ye that now. So music will have to do.

Bombay Bicycle Club have always had a place in my heart. Easy listening and a perfect summer evening accompaniment. Especially when one walks to see the sights in Plymouth, I mean, quite literally. Walking up to the Hoe on a Saturday evening, with Bombay blaring, tons of people half drunk, it was quite a contrast. But a beautiful one.

One of my favourite songs has to be Luna. I can already say it will be making my "RUN FASTER YOU FAT COW" running playlist. It's one of those songs, ya know, that just make you wanna.

This album has it all. No, I mean quite literally. Genres and Cultures it is a treat for the teets. With that ever gut grabbing electronic vibe. And even better, it's only bloomin £4.99 on iTunes. Bloomin bargain !

So long, see you tomorrow !

Lush me longtime.

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of being invited to Lush Plymouth's first blogging event. Now, when it comes to Lush, we all know I aint no stranger. As you may have guessed, from the many product mentions and reviews. But I am that gal that will want to use every product from that brand. And I mean every product. And I've done it with most; clearsil, Clinque, Origins, John Frieda, Bed head. Lush is the one that stuck, and the one that's products really have worked.

But, back to the event. This marks the first official justanothablogger outing and it true Jess form, I did everything I could to make a tit out of my self. See evidence below.

That being said, the event was a true beauty bloggers dream. We were demo'd the teams summer essentials, scoffed a sufficient amount of mini cakes and drank tea from the most sexiest vintage tea collection I had ever seen. Definitely instagramworthy.

One of the highlights was making our very own Bath Bomb. Those little Lushies, don't lie when it comes to it being "hand made". As I struggled to make mine in 3 minutes, a Lushie will make 10 in just 1. Cray to the cray. (Name that YouTuber !)

Big Blue is full of sea salt, sea weed, lemon and lavender ! A perfect dip for all you beach lovers. That perfect pick me up for those of you who are unable to have that summer getaway this year. Myself included. But for those of you who are, Lush Plymouth have prepared the perfect plethora of products to prep your pins and piggies for the glorious summer sun.

First up, Buffy. Inspired by the Brazilians bought religiously by Kylie Minogue. Yes, that's why her booty always looks so buffed. The trick, ground aduki beans, the Eco way to exfoliate. This bar is also full of cocoa butter and shea butter. So for all you lazy folk, it's a perfect all in one.

Fake tan faff = SORTED.

For those who prefer a frothy alternative, have a go with Sandstone soap. Sand, lemon and coconut oil make it a fresh exfoliator. Once you've sanded yourself down, slick yourself in African Paradise. A light body conditioner, full of mangos, almond oil, Shea butter and aloe gel. This beaut will not only brighten the skin with its natural enzymes that eat away dead skin, but will soothe sun burn with its aloey goodness.

Now not to forget those piggies, feet.They make me cringe on all kinds of levels, but you have to give them some TLC. Soak your feet in the bath, bowl, or whatever you have to hand, even the shower ! Break off a piece of Stepping Stones and then go to town on those flappers. If you like pumice stones, you'll love this more. With lemon and lime to eat nasty odours and jojoba oil to soften. It's like a bath bomb for your tootsies.

So if you are fortunate enough to engage in the sun, it's that thing bright thing in the sky, often found in foreign climates where one has to pay to enjoy it. Brits, I can assure you, it is real. One thing you must always remember is to slather on that SPF. Even if you are in the sun or not. PROTECT YO SKIN. Now Lush, the clever beans have produced the most gorgeous sunscreens that will stop you from reaching for your usual sun protecting suspects. One that has me peeing in my little panties, well, rather large panties, is Million Dollar Moisturiser. SPF 30, rich in honey, shea butter, jojoba oil, lavender oil and shiny pigments for that million look. This won't only protect your skin but will keep it healthy and balanced. Good for you acne skin types, with Shea butter and jojoba oil being non comedogenic. So no blockages baby.

If you wish to find out more about the other wonderful sunscreens, nip into your nearest Lush, even better, pop down to Plymouth. The team are lovely ! And bloggers, old and new, Keep yo eyes peeled. There is talk of more #LushPlymouthBlogs events. Yet more peeing in my over large panties.

Cheers Plymouth Team ! You beauty blogging babes !
