February is quite a boring month in the world of me. I usually spend it drowning in university assignments, hibernating inside from the cold and wrapping up warm. But whilst waiting for the warmer months to arrive, I've found lots of bits and pieces that I've really loved. Just a few bits and bobs that have made my February better! Max Factor Face...
"Just because the forecast calls for cloudy weather, doesn't means you can't dress like sunshine." Grace's Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It by YouTube sensation Grace Helbig is pretty much a fashion/beauty blog in book form. In her own unique way, Helbig takes the reader on a journey through her wardrobe and make up bag, making gags along the way. This is...
I'm not very well traveled. But then again I am 19, and ran straight into uni rather than taking a gap year. So I haven't really had a lot of time to travel the globe! But when I do finally get the time, here is where I would love to go... Australia Everything about this place fascinates me. Its huge, so much warmer...
Reading week is now upon me. I am staring straight down the barrel of a 4,700 word loaded gun. But hopefully after one and a half years of uni I know how to get through the next seven days! Here are a few of the things I do to make deadline weeks a little bit easier... Wake up at a decent time! Its...
Not your conventional superhero... Myself and my sister love a superhero movie. Except for Ant Man, she has a thing against Ant Man... But apart from that, they really are our bag. As you can probably imagine, excited didn't even go halfway to describing our excitement when Deadpool was announced! A film I certainly wouldn't like to watch with my nan, Deadpool was...
Happy Valentines Day everyone! As many of you may be aware of from previous posts, I love shopping. I'm not a huge impulse buyer, nor do I spend an awful lot of money, but it is rare that I don't come home with at least something! Over the past few months I've been trying to replace a lot of my old clothes and...
I started this blog over two years ago, and sporadically posted when I had the time. My vision when I began was to blog solely about history. But as I've got older, experienced new things, and started to post regularly, I feel I have more than just history to talk about. Books, beauty, TV, fashion, history, general day to day life. The title...
War and Peace finished on Sunday. 99% of the British population is still getting over it. So sorry if this post brings back any repressed memories... Whilst watching the show, I became mesmerized by the beautiful costumes. Everything was as it should have been back in the early 1800's. The uniforms were very accurate representations of both French and Russian uniforms. The big...
I am a child of You Tube. Well not literally, but I spent an awful lot of my time during GCSEs and A Levels watching internet personalities. I can confidently say that You Tube was my Netflix. I still love watching some channels now, despite being more wise to the business and promotional aspects of You Tube. From accusations that Zoella ghost-wrote her...
I'm going to keep this one short. 1932 saw the advent of the Australian Emu War. Yes, I really did mean to type Emu War. I've had a bit of a google, and this event really did take place! When drafting this post I was planning on giving a brief history of it myself, but after bumbling around on Tumblr I found these...
