Tag Challenge: Day 23: A YouTube Video

Day 23: A Funny Video and a Cute VideoThe first video I wanted to share, was one I discovered purely due to my love for the Kingdom Hearts games (currently kicking ass in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep...completed Ventus' story, working through Terra's and then will eventually get to Aqua!! LOL). The song that they are playing is the main theme that plays through the Opening Menu, and is an absolutely gorgeous tune.The video features Kyle Landry...

Tumbleweed

Hey guys,You might have noticed that my blog has been a little quiet recently, and that is quite simply because on Monday my laptop went to the little Laptop Repair Shop in the Sky, and was going to cost way too much to repair (as in, more expensive than the price of a new laptop). So, for the time being, I am back on my old Dell desktop PC (complete with Windows XP...I have never felt so out-of-date!!) And hopefully, the blog will be back up and...

Tag Challenge: Day 22: A Website

Day 22: A Website for Kat...why is it so hard?I have to admit, that I've been avoiding this Tag for the past few days, mainly because the majority of the websites that I frequent are the bog-standard every-visits-those websites, and I didn't want to say Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, because they're just boring aren't they? I mean, yeah, we all visit them practically every single day, but what is there left to be said about them, that hasn't been...

Simple Oil Balancing Moisturiser Review

When I started out this blog, one of my main focuses was controlling my oily skin, and I've been keen to try lots of different products, from a wide range of brands, that are aimed specifically at tackling this issue. From past experience, I've become quite fond of Simple's Oil Balancing Range, having tried their Facial Wipes and Exfoliating Facial Wash, so when I ran out of my trusted Neutrogena's Visibly Clear Oil Free Moisturiser, despire being...

Veet® Hair Removal Cream Review

It's just typical isn't it, you go on holiday and as you walk out the front door, you are absolutely convinced that you have forgotten something. You've double/triple/quadruple checked that you have the essentials (railcard, money, keys, underwear), however, sod's law says that you will have forgotten something, but anything else you can buy when you get there if necessary. It is not a problem. So what did I forget when I went away last week? My...

I'm Back!!

Afternoon my Lovelies,Some of you might not have noticed, since the blog has been nicely updated pretty much all week, but I've actually just returned from a week's holiday (thank heaven for Blogger's Scheduling!), but I spent the past week in a part of Wales with no signal. I thought that it would be tough without my mobile phone or internet access (I didn't even bother taking my laptop at all! But, it was actually really refreshing.This must be...

Tag Challenge: Day 20: A Hobby of Yours

Day 20: My HobbyAfter this blog, and my writing, you might have guessed, but playing Video Games is one of my favourite hobbies. Despite that I'm actually quite a fussy gamer. My boyfriend and my brother are both HUGE gamers, and love everything from racing, to first person shoot-em-ups etc and they have collections of games that are practically sky high. Me,on the other hand, well, I'm only really a fan of RPG's...I must save so much money being...

Yet Another Pretty Tag

Hey guys, here's another tag challenge for you, which I "acquired" so-to-speak from Dreams that Glitter. I liked this one, because it has a mish-mash of beauty and non-beauty related questions :)Enjoy.1. What is your favourite fashion magazine?Oh lord. Please don't hate me, but I honestly can not stand Fashion magazines. They're just not me at all. And to be fair, they're not really aimed at people like me (fat girls that don't quite fit the idea...

The Hottie and the Nottie: September

My gosh, September already! It's weird thinking about September, because it's the month when the School Year begins, and even though I graduated five years ago, I still find it strange to not be starting a new Academic Year in September. But, it's not just education that tends to start for me in September, because September always seems to be a month of new beginnings in my life...not really sure what this month is going to bring me, but I'm excited...

Sunday Tips: Keeping your Brushes Clean

Today's Sunday Tip is courtesy of You Tub Guru Michelle Phan, and I'm passing it on because it really works (for me, anyway).In the past I've had trouble cleaning my brushes so that the inside bristles get as good a clean as the outside ones, this has been especially so with foundation brushes. I've also struggled to get the bristles feeling lovely and soft.The answer? Olive Oil.I know, it sounds bonkers, but Olive Oil is a great ingredient in so...
