Its been a busy week this week what with juggling work and being at uni. My little blog has hit some small milestones this week as I reached my first viewing milestone. I also had someone tweet me with some positive feedback to say they really liked my weekly happiness posts. Now that made me happy!

1. Having a nice nap. This is a seriously
underrated past time that is only really acceptable if you are a toddler or a
student. For some weird reason I’ve been really tired all week and I had a much
needed afternoon nap. It made me feel so much better. I think I need to listen
to my body on this one and accept that I need a little bit more sleep then I’ve
been getting recently. Working early shifts for a few weekends in a row
probably hasn’t helped as it doesn’t give me a chance to catch up. This magical
nap left me feeling like a brand new person. If you feel like crying because
you are too tired then I would suggest grabbing a nap when you can.

| Salted Caramel Milkshake in Hipster Mason Jar (note:fake drink rings haha) |
2. Went with some of my old friends from halls
to a new restaurant that’s opened up in Southampton called Shrimp and Burger.
With that name the contents of the menu don’t hold many surprises as this is a
burger bar. What makes it interesting is the fact it’s clearly trying to
compete with the infamous 7Bone which in my opinion is both highly overrated
and overpriced. If you are looking for the same hipster atmosphere as 7Bone but
vastly superior quality food then look no further. I was extremely impressed
with the value for money and the taste of the food. I ordered a Salted Caramel
milkshake and a pulled chicken burger with fries. It was all delicious and the
service was great. Plus you can actually get a table unlike in 7Bone where the
staff are also exceptionally snotty.

3. This week was my friend Naomi’s 21
st
birthday and I met up with my girlies at Wild Lime to celebrate. Copious
amounts of wine, cocktails and Prosecco were consumed and I had such a lovely
time. I love spending time with these girls and its even better if theres an
excuse to get dressed up involved. Happy Birthday Naomi! You are literally so
adorable and I love you!
4. A few weeks ago I popped into my local
Clinique counter to grab my free trial of their new Beyond Perfecting
Foundation. As a massive fan of Clinique I am super keen to try anything new
they bring out. I am very impressed with this foundation. I normally use their
Superbalanced Foundation in Beige Chiffon as it gives a sheer coverage and is
oil free. While I still love my Superbalanced, the advantage of the Beyond
Perfecting is it offers heavier coverage for days when my skin is not looking
so great. Plus you only have to use the tiniest amount so I think my free
sample might last be a really long time.
5. This week my boyfriend and I had a super
cosy night in with PJ’s, the duvet and Dominos two for Tuesday. Literally my
idea of the perfect date which is tragic I know.

| Its just too pretty |
6. In my Pink Parcel which I wrote about last
week there was a MUA eyeshadow palette in Romantic Effervesence. I’m in love
with it and I wore it every day last week. The best thing about it is it only
costs £4 and considering its price tag it is very high quality. I’ve got
designer eyeshadow that does not stand up to this. As it costs so little it is
definitely worth giving it a go as it’s great for everyday use.
