Going Out Prep

Last week on Friday I went on a night out for the first time in forever and it got me thinking about what is the best way to get ready for a night out. I thought I'd share with you my own personal insight into how I get ready for a night out on the town.

Let's get started. 
The first thing I like to do when getting ready for a night out is have a bath. A shower is quick and easy but I feel with a bath I could do a full pamper session of washing my hair, body, shaving and doing a face mask. Just anything to prep my skin ready for a night out on the town and my most crucial part of a night out is making sure I smell good. That's why I always have to have a bath before going out on a night out. 
While I'm getting ready, I always like to have a cheeky pre-drink to get me in the mood and my drink of choice is always rum and coke. More specifically this was Malibu which is one of my favourite rums. 
The first part of getting ready is doing my hair. First I have to dry it with my TRESemme hair dryer which I've had for years now and I just blow dry it to make sure it's all voluminous ready for the next step which is curling my hair. I like to use my Lee Stafford corkscrew wand as it gives really nice ringlet curls. Although, I decided to go without heat gloves when I was doing it and ended up burning my wrist while curling my hair which has reminded me to never make that mistake again. The hair turned out really nice though and very voluminous though so there was a silver lining in the end. 
Now is time for my favourite part of getting ready for a night out and it's the makeup. I always like trying something different to my everyday look. On this particular night I went for a blue eyeshadow look which I was really proud of. The palette I used was one I got from Amazon by Prism Makeup called Fantasy which has lots of different colourful shades in it.
Finally, it's time to get my going out bag. This is a clutch with a strap that you can put over your shoulder. It was one bought over ten years ago from Amazon. I absolutely love it for a night out because it surprisingly fits a lot but it's easy to hold and you can put it over your shoulder. I just have a few essentials like my purse, phone, lipgloss and tissues in there which is pretty much all I need for a night on the town. 

There we have it. That is how I prepare for a night out. My favourite part is definitely doing my makeup. Let me know what your favourite part of getting ready for a night out is. I would love to hear it in the comments below. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I'll be back soon with another post. 

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
