Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014!

Hello welcome to my New Year post! I was reading Sprinkle of Glitter's post A year in the glitter world 2013 and thought it was a fantastic idea so I've decided to do one myself. It will just be a countdown of all the months and what happened for me!

January 
To start the year of I had a loss, my cat Misty who has been in my family for 10 years after we rescued her from cats protection. It was heartbreaking to lose her and there are times now when I still cry and have moments because she is no longer here and able to share moments of my life.



February
This month I had got my life on track with some disastrous decisions for work I had finally found a job I felt stable in and was happy in. I also took an interest in blogging and started following some well known blogs, as well as following there youtube channels.

March
Was the month I began Blogging and launch Beauty, Bits and Bobs! It was a great month of Blogging and joining in on Twitter chats. I also took out a subscription for Glossybox and  starting of my blog with Glossybox reviews!

April
Was the year of gigs for me, I saw quite a few live bands and was going back and forth to Birmingham I practically lived there in April. I saw amazing bands like Taking Hayley, We Are Saviours and Page 44.



May
I celebrated my 22nd birthday by going to the Cotswold Zoo, I love going as it's such a great place for all ages. My favorite place is the bat cave as its always pretty cool seeing all the bats flying around in there little dark cave!



June
I went to Helsinki! Which was amazing I was so excited to go and it definitely lived up to expectations, I only went for 4 nights but I was able to do everything I wanted in those days and was also able to treat  myself to a lovely shopping trip at the two large shopping centres they have there.



July and August
This summer I had a nice relaxing one as I had already had my holiday for me it was about blogging and shopping as much as possible. As well as topping up my tan!



September
I went to my first ever fashion show AW13 Style Birmingham, it was amazing and all the goodies bags were great to! But I also got to meet Brix Smith who I love as she is so sweet and honest.
It was also my Blogs 6 month birthday, I was quite pleased with getting to my 6 month mark as when I started I was concerned with how people would accept me but so far it has been great.



October 
I celebrated Halloween my favorite season and time of the year, I love Autumn trends and wearing thick clothing. I also booked my holiday to Paris and started to plan all the places I was going to be visiting!



November
Was Bonfire night, I went to a great display which had a fair, some food stands and some amazing fireworks displays it was a great evening out.



December
I started and completed Blogmas on my blog which I was really happy and pleased with, I also celebrated Christmas with my family and had a great day out to Minehead with my sister. It was also a month and meals and getting rather fat!



I hope you had a fantastic year and I can't wait to be going to Paris in a week and celebrating my one year birthday on my blog. Have a Happy New Year and see you soon!

August Glossybox 2013

This months Glossybox is a HighFlyers theme with some great holiday items. I received 5 great products including one from my favourite online brand Jelly Pong Pong. The five items are from five different counties including UK and Brazil.



Emite Make Up Eyelash Curler - £20! Sweden
I saw this product on the Glossybox Facebook page and thought I really hope I don't get it, oh well I suppose you have to have one product you're not to keen on. I have extremely small awkward eyes and find them impossible when applying make up so to receive an eyelash curler I had a small bit of dread in me. But I will give it a go and see how it goes!

Urban Veda Purifying Exfoliating Facial Wash - £7.99 India
I'm always looking to try new face products as I have so many breakouts, I'm still hoping to find my holy grail face range. I've not heard of this brand before but the smell of this product is lovely, it has mint and witch hazel in which should hopefully calm my skin on its next breakout.

Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Eyeshadow and Eyeliner £10.50 UK
This product isn't available to order in the UK yet but I already know I'm going to love it. It has a large tip in order to smudge and create a lush eye design but it also works well as a liner. I'm not to sure how it will go as an eyeliner but I'm always up for giving a beauty product a go.

TRESemme Keratin Smooth Concentrated Treatment £1.49 USA
This product is a little wake up shot for you hair, for £1.49 you get a 15ml product to use once a week. You only need to apply to damaged parts of your hair and should avoid roots, as well as only leaving it on for 60 seconds you need to rinse well. Sounds like a chore rather then washing your hair but as its from a trusted brand I will give it ago and see how well it deals with my very damaged dyed ends.

Oceane Make Up Remover Pen £unknown! Not Yet Available Brazil
This product will be great for me to use around my eyes as I'm always smudging and making a mess , it also comes with 3 replaceable tips which I think is great and handy. I think this is the product I'm most looking forward to reviewing! But unfortunately its not available in the UK yet so the price is unknown!

There's been some great products this month, the reviews will be coming soon!
