New Year New Things - Life Update!

11:48 0 Comments
So, it's been a whole 6 months since I last posted on my blog, and I don't think I've ever had that amount of time off!

Usually I post met Christmas Wishlist (I didn't really have one this year), or my OOTD posts, or I let you know when I've uploaded a new video to my Youtube Channel here!

I'm going to start this new year by trying to make more time for my youtube channel, and my blog, because I've just been neglecting them more than usual.

There are a few reasons why I haven't been so active on both platforms, which I'm going to let you know about now.

1) I have recently received a promotion at work, and am now a Senior. This means more hours and work...and best of all more money ;) This means that I haven't managed to have enough time to film and edit videos, so some months I've only been uploading once every 2 weeks, which I absolutely hated! I love uploading at least once a week, because I love filming the videos and seeing your comments.

2) I have started 2 new online courses. Now because these are online courses, it doesn't mean that I have so much spare time because I don't. They take up time, and in truth, these have had to go on the back burner also for the last couple of months.

3) I recently bought and moved into my first house. We've been living here for around a month, so just before Christmas, which was probably the worst time to ever move in! It was so hectic, and we've still got boxes in all of the rooms, and still have boxes at our parents' houses. So soon, we should be all settled, and I'll have enough time to film multiple videos a week! YAY

One great thing which has come from last year, is that now I have moved into my own home, I finally have a filming room, so finally have somewhere quiet to film my videos! Once my schedule gets settled, I'll be filming and uploading more which I am so excited for!

In the meantime, check out my first video uploaded for this year! It's a 'What I Got For Christmas' Video, and I film these EVERY YEAR!

Enjoy. And if you have any video requests, just let me know. :)

My Handbag Essentials!

11:21 0 Comments
Hi guys,

I haven’t done any blogs on my favourite handbag essentials before, but as I’ve been in holiday and have found some that I LOVE and have been using for a long time, I thought that I’d share them with you.

These items have been my go-to items, and are amazing if you like to pack lightly, or have a very small bag, where you don’t wish to overflow with products!

This handbag has been my go-to bag ever since I bought it, because it’s jusy so gravel friendly, and even though it’s small, it can still fit w lot of stuff.

I’m going to go through each product, and explain why I love it, and what I use it for.





Michael Kors Jet Set Crossbody in Oyster
I bought this bag just before Christmas, as I had been living the Gucci Soho Disco Bag, but I didn’t think it was worth nearly £800. I saw this in the store and thought that it looked incredibly similar, only more beautiful!
I purchased my bag in the shade Oyster, as I wanted something that I could use for all seasons, plus it’s pink, which is my favourite colour!
The bag is structured, so it always keeps its shape, no matter how many items your stuff in there, and the Saffiano Leather is very thick and durable, so you don’t need to worry about which type of weather you have it out in. I’ve had it in rain or sunshine, and it’s wayerproof and has held up amazingly through both, and still looks exactly the same since I bought it, and I’ve used it ALOT!
The only negative, is that because this bag is such a light colour, I do tend to get colour transfer with a pair of my jeans, but you can sort that out with just an eraser and you should be fine!
Even though this bag is pretty small, I can still fit a lot in here. I used it for my trip to London at Christmas, and it’s the perfect dimensions for my tablet, so I managed to a lot that in one of the pockets!
It’s truly is an amazing bag, and it’s probably one of my best purchases I’ve made.

Canon SX600HS Camera
I have had this camera for the past 3 years, and I bought it specifically for when I travel and for vlogging. Before this, I used to take my giant Canon 500D to the theme parks, and even though it has amazing camera quality, it was just way too big to fit anywhere, and it would kill my arm after a couple of minutes.
I bought this from Costco in a set with a gorilla pod, and I think it was around £100, which was incredible as they had only just bought out this camera when I purchased it.
The camera and video quality is incredible, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who travels a lot, or if you’re a beginner in vlogging.
When I upgrade to a newer camera, which won’t be until this one is completely dead, I’d go for another canon, but one which has a flip screen on it. That would make it so much easier for when I have the camera looking at myself, and I can see if the flipped viewfinder.

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Lip Protectant
The is the newest product that I’ve purchased out of the Essentials, and I’m already blown away by it.
If you haven’t heard of the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Range, where have you been? The do so many products in the line - like hand protectant, face lotions, face sprays, and lip balms, etc. - and I’ve only heard positive reviews about everything.
I’ve been after the lip protectant and the balm for years, but always thought that it was quite expensive. Then I saw this in a set with other travel products, and I had to pick it up.
I’ve tried lip balms in the past the seem as though they don’t really do a lot, and my lips always seem to feel more dry after using them. But with this one, my lips are so smooth, supple, and the smell is beautiful! It had a very slight perfume smell, which isn’t overpowering, and my lips haven’t felt so smooth since last summer.
I love this product, and I know that I’ll repurchase it once it runs out!


Bath & Bodyworks ‘Pretty As Peach’ Hand Sanitiser
If you have been watching my YouTube channel for a while, you will know that I’m obsessed with fruit smelling hand sanitizers. The Pretty As Peach hand gel smells AMAZING!
I’m one of those people who is a bit of a germaphobe when I’m out and about, or when I’m at work. I never used to like the chemical smell of the anti-bacterial hand gels when I was younger, and when I found out that they sell them with every scent you can imagine, I screamed a little!
I buy my hand gels from the Bath and Bodyworks Outlet in Florida every year I visit - where they’re 5 for $6, so naturally I buy 20!
If you’re not from the US, or don’t want to pay a bomb in shipping, then you can buy a Strawberry and Raspberry hand gel from Superdrug, which also smells AMAZING!
These little gels are great for travel, or for putting in your handbag, because they’re so small, but you get a lot of product in there.
I love them, I never leave the house without it, and I don’t know what I’m going to do when I run out!

Louis Vuitton Key Pouch in Monogram
I purchased this Key Pouch as a present to myself, for my 24th Birthday last January. I used to use it a lot when I first bought it, but I’ve been drifting apart from it, ever since I bought my Zippy Multicartes.
I started using this again, for my trip to Florida, in February, and I’m so happy that I took it, because I used it EVERY DAY!
This piece is pretty versatile, as you can use it as a mini purse, and you can use it to keep some necessities in. I used it as both.
When I ventured to the theme parks, or somewhere where I didn’t want to take a lot of cash to, I used it as a mini purse. You can actually fit quite a lot in there. At the same time, I also used it for some necessities, things that you might need in case of an emergency. I also used it to keep plasters, hair ties, hair bobbles, hair grips, and a lip balm/ lipgloss.
This thing may be tiny, but it can hold a lot!
Also, as it was my very first luxury purchase, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Victoria’s Secret Rollerball Fragrance in Bombshell and Bombshell Paris 
For the past couple of years, I have been obsessed with Victoria’s Secret body mists and perfumes. When they had a giant sale in my local store, I decided to go ahead and pick up one of these roller balls - it was £3, so even if I didn’t like one of the scents, I haven’t really lost out.
I’ve really been liking the ‘Bombshell’ fragrance for a while, but have always thought that the full sized ones are quite expensive, and it usually takes me ages to get through them.
I’ve bought a couple of roller balls last year, and I love how travel friendly they are, and how they fit in all of my bags. I’ve been trying to get into being a minimalist with my bags and everything I take out with me, so having one of these is a great choice!
I love the fact that there are 2 fragrances, so you can change them up, depending on what your mood is, or which you want to use for each day.
These roller balls are long lasting, and smell beautiful!

Louis Vuitton Zippy Multicartes in Fuchsia
This piece is my newest purchase from Louis Vuitton, and this was a little treat to myself, for passing my Nail Technician Course...so it was more of a 'well done' piece.
I've been after this piece for quite a while, and saw a video from Shea Whitney, about what she uses it for, and how much she loves it, so knew that it was something on my radar. As I had purchased my Michael Kors Crossbody, I felt as though my small Michael Kors use was just too big, and it took quite a lot of work to get my cards out to pay, as the card sections were very slim.
Ever since I bought this new purse, I have been using it a loving it! Even though its 1/3rd of the sir of a normal sized purse, you can fit A LOT of stuff in here. In fact, I managed to take everything out of 2 of my purses, and squeeze them into this one with no problem!
In this little gem, I can fit 10 cards, train tickets, vouchers/gift cards, cash (coins and notes), and I STILL have room. It fits in every bag, and I can pop it into one of the little sections in my Original Club Organiser. The bonus with this, is that it will never take up too much room.
The colour is beautiful - Monogram canvas with fuchsia leather zip pull and lining. It's just a stunning piece.
If you're looking to minimise your bag, or if you just want something that you can take to the shops, this is the perfect piece of you. I don't think that I'll ever go to a full size purse again!

So, that's my newest handbag essentials, and my reasons behind why I love them so much!

If you have/use these items too, let me know if you love them as much as I do. Also, if you have any recommendations, just let me know too!

Thanks for reading,
Chloe xoxo

What I Got For Christmas 2017!

01:18 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

Every year, I always do one of these videos on my Youtube Channel, because I LOVE watching these, and I know that some of you love watching these types of videos too! (I'm very nosey)

As a followup to my Christmas Wishlist (here), I do this video so that you can see which items - if any - I receive from my Wishlist. Also, you can see everything that I receive from friends and family for Christmas.

I must warn you, this year there is so much chocolate!!! Which I'm not complaining about because I love chocolate!

I'm thankful for everything that I receive at Christmas, as I know that everyone has put thought into my present. Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and I both love and hate trying to decide what to buy people every year.

Also this year, I bought myself a little something, like I do every year, and you will see it in this video. I'm so excited to start using it, and I waited such a long time for it to come back in stock!

This year, I was pretty good with buying presents and was ahead of the game. I bought both of my sisters' presents in July so I got a great early start, and all of them apart from 1 were bought in November. I always seem to never have money in December, so this was a great plan!

To see what I got for Christmas, check out the video above.

Also, we're incredibly close to 5,000 subscribers (less than 200 away), so keep subscribing and sharing, and there will be a new giveaway at this milestone!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

OOTD #13 - Christmas Eve!

13:08 0 Comments
Hi Guys,

On Christmas Eve, me and Neil decided to go out for a drink for a couple of hours.

We wanted to take in the Christmas atmosphere and go somewhere to relax, just us two, so we decided to go to The Belfry. It's an amazing Hotel and Golf Resort, where he is also a member, so we thought that this was the best place to go, as it's always relaxing, and it's lovely to see other families go there together.

They played Christmas songs on the entire time, and they were getting ready for a singer and a jazz band to come on later in the evening - which we missed because they came on very late!
It was amazing to see everyone there with their families, having fun, getting together, and it just felt extra special.

I love Christmas - it's my favourite time of the year - and this Christmas Eve was amazing!

I wanted to dress my outfit up a little, as we were going some place nice, but I didn't want it to be too dressy. These boots are the perfect item to take my outfit from day to night. I bought them a few years ago for Forever 21, and I always love wearing them.

I enjoyed this outfit so much, that I actually wore it to our Boxing Day meal too, but just changed the top to the same top but in a darker colour.

I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas, New Year, and had an amazing holiday!





What I'm Wearing:
Top: Hollister
Boots: Forever 21
Jeans: Next (here)
Belt: River Island (here)
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Bag: Michael Kors (here)

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

My Christmas Wishlist 2017!

01:13 0 Comments

My Christmas Wishlist

Every year, I always get asked what I would like for Christmas, and I always say the same thing - 'I don't know'. 
Every year, I find it so hard to actually find anything that I'd like. This is mainly because if I need something, I'll just go ahead and buy it myself. 
This year, I actually managed to find four things that I's like for Christmas, and one of them is basically just a 'filler' present. For instance, I do really like this present, but I've pretty much got something very similar to the point where I don't really need them. 

Here's the only four things which are on my Wishlist. Of course, if I don't get these for Christmas, I'll be extremely grateful for anything I receive. It's just a fun little thing I put together (which I do every year), so I can let you all know what I've been lusting over. 

Smashbox Sculpting Cheek Palette

I saw this when I went into Boots last weekend with my Mum. I was looking for something for Neil, and happened to go across the Smashbox Counter and this drew my eye straight away. 
I love anything to do with highlight and blush, and I feel like I really need to try out some more of them, and get myself out of the rut with using the same two products - Mac Springsheen Blush, and TheBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer. Don't get me wrong, these are my favourite, but I feel like I just need to experiment more with different products. 
Also, this palette is travel friendly, so I could put it to some great use on holiday in February!

Adidas Superstar Shoes in Black & Gold

These trainers, I have been loving over the last month or so. I never really thought I'd be a trainers person - I usually just stick to my white converse which I wear pretty much every day. 
I've been really loving the Gucci Trainers, but I wouldn't spend £500 on a pair of trainers - they're waaaay out of my budget and they're just too much! So, I watched a video a little while ago from Shea Whitney, who mentioned that she wasn't sure if she was going to buy the Gucci Trainers and found these as a great alternative. Since that video, I've been loving the trainers, but I do think they're quite expensive. To me, £75 for shoes is quite expensive, but because I only have size 5.5 feet, I can get away with the Youth's sizes, which are only £45. I've been hinting this to my Mum, so hopefully she gets my hint. 😏

Coco Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum

I always manage to find one perfume which I'm loving every year, and I always give the task to buy it for me to Neil. He is my boyfriend after all, so he can spend a bit extra on me! hehe 
I'm never really someone who goes for expensive perfumes, as I usually just stick to my Britney Spears perfumes which always smell beautiful, and they're pretty cheap here. 
A few months ago, I was again in Boots with my Mum, when I was just browsing the Chanel and Dior perfume counters. I've never really been a fan of Chanel perfume before, as I feel like they just tend to smell a little old and overpowering on me. 
My mum sprayed the Chanel NO5 which she has loved for years, and I decided to spray the Coco Mademoiselle, and I was in love with the scent! It's one of the most beautiful scents I've smelt, and it's just perfect! It's floral, but not over powering, there's hints of sweetness, but not too much, and it smells fresh, but not too fresh. I usually hate anything to do with florals, as I like my sweet fragrances, but this is just AMAZING! 
It is very expensive, but it's stunning! 

UGG Bailey Bow Boots 

For the past few years, I've always told myself that I was going to buy some real UGG Boots. As you all know, they're pretty pricey boots - these ones are around £130!
I've bought myself a couple of pairs from Costco which have been such good quality, and only cost me around £20, and I believe they're made from the same materials too. 
However, I've been loving these for at least 2 years, and I've always said to myself, 'As soon as it gets to winter, you'll buy yourself a pair of those', and it never seems to happen. 
The good news is, I also get student discount so I'll say money on them, but it's just quite a big chunk of money for around Christmas time.
I don't necessarily need these, as I already have my Costco Uggs which are great, but they're a little thing I'd like to get one day. 

Obviously, if I don't receive any of these for Christmas, I will be super grateful with anything I have. Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and it's the time for giving back. 
I'm not someone who only wants specific thing, as I love anything that anyone gets me because I know they've put thought into it! 😀

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Chloe xoxo
