Return of the Rucksack

So I was delighted to find that the rucksack has made a perfectly

 brilliant return to fashion this season. I've always been a sucker for a good rucksack so I wasobviously thrilled at the news!

 The rucksack has always been around for me.

Back in high school when Mum got me the biggest rucksack to carry, despite how small I was.

 I always remember looking around the playground and seeing other children my age, just starting out, with the biggest ruck you'd ever seen, filled with stuff you'd never use. A small gesture from your mum,

 who was proud of the little big person you've grown up to be.

 

 

And then there was college.

 Back in the time of rebelious music and fashion statements that I look back at through my shameful hands. I'd cover it with whatever I could. Badges, favourite bands, grafetti and lyrics.
It was all about being a non conformist, when really looking back, we were all the same.

 

Which brings me to 2012.
I still love to wear things too big and I still love the odd scribble on a piece.
But this time it's a little maturer.
I too love dainty things. I'm not forcing myself into one style, like back in college.
I embrace all of it.

This is my first rucksack since then.
Primark - £12.
Small price, another era.

Garnier BB Miracle Skin Perfector

 

Garnier BB Cream Site

 

 

Ok, so I've been looking for a while for something that will sort my face out.. Haven't we all?
Now, television, magazines and every beauty editor has been going on about BB Creams.
Which one is the best, does it work and what not?
Well, tbh, I'm skint. And this is the only one I can afford. Just under £8, I've had it for a few days and I thought I'd share what I think.
Which tbh, isn't alot because it does exactly what it says on the tin.

 

When buying, I was told to use it as a primer.
Adding before you add your make up apparently is the best thing.
I'm not sure what everyone else has been told.
I have wars with freckles and tired eyes. And I lose, ALL the time.
I noticed Garnier doesn't exactly cover up everything you'd like but it's not claiming to be a radical new foundation. It does however, make your skin feel GORGEOUS and gives it a lovely glow.

 

I thought I'd share with you something that they included on the box.
When companies spout about testing with real customers and coming up with some percentage that you're supposed to go 'ohhhh, that's good!'. Well, Garnier have kind of done it in the ' BB Cream for dummies' kind of root. Which I enjoy. Gladly.
And although 63 subjects isn't alot to be testing something thats worldwide, I think it's a good result and something great to share with a consumer. Let's face it, it was enough for me to buy it.
Plus I don't know 63 people. So if Garnier do, it must be good.

Galaxy Sweater from She Inside

 

Love Love LOVE.

First purchase made from She Inside and it's quickly becoming my new obsession.
Regardless of the fact that they are based all the way over in America, everyone who is over the pond with me, you'll be glad to hear it's free postage! Which is truly a godsend when it comes to long distance delivery. It also tackles that annoying little issue with converting dollars into pounds so there is no confusing maths involved. Ahem.
Not a strong point.

But yes. I'm a short arse so ordering a size too big might have been a slight mistake as it's very easy to make me look podgy. I need to get out of that habbit and start ordering things to fit and not to be baggy.

Anyway, GET THIS SWEATER. Warm, awesome and erm, awesome!
