Curls, curls, curls!

You're in store for a lucky treat today my lovelies ;) I have managed to find some time to type up a post before I head off to Morocco next week!

Yesterday I ventured into Central London to pick up a few bits and bobs for my volunteer holiday in Morocco. I had straightened my hair the day before and had an urge to curl my hair with my Corioliss Curling Wand. So I sectioned my hair and then curled the ends bit by bit and then ran my hair through the curls to loosen them up for a more tousled effect. I really liked the looseness of the curls and it looked so natural.

Obviously it rained as soon as I stepped out and even with an umbrella, the rain managed to make my bouncy hair...flat although I was surprised the curls were still there. Anyways I got back home and a few hours later I was due to go out for an Iftar meal at Mango Tree (it was delicious!) with my sister and aunt. So I quickly re-curled my hair - this time the results were like WHOA! There was definitely more volume and the curls were more tighter hence more bouncier.

Back to my hair, to be honest I don't tend to use my curling wand so much and this is primarily due to time because of my job. I am a primary school teacher. (Although I am off on holiday now so I will be experimenting more with hair, makeup and nails!) I'm more of the fuss-free type when it comes to styling. I dislike hairspray and my sister knows this so well! I tend to use it only for occassions/events otherwise my daily style consists of applying serum, mousse, scrunch and pin up!

If I do get a chance, I'll update my blog in Morocco. If not I have recently jumped on the Instagram Bandwagon so add me {sweetsarii87}. I'll try and update as much as possible :)

I'm off to central again to meet a lovely friend of mine who is over from Bosnia at the moment and we're SO excited about going on the London Eye (especially since I have lived here for 6 years and still have not found the time to be a tourist!) and hopefully doing Iftar at Tinseltown..yum yum!

Enjoy your summer for now lovelies,

Summer Makeup {1}

So I have named this Summer Makeup {1} as I have a feeling when I get back from Morocco I will be changing my makeup hence numero {2}!

The weather as of late has been sweltering although saying that my makeup has surprisingly stayed on better than I have expected. So here's the lowdown of my makeup look at the moment.



Face: LM Primer, LM Tinted Moisturiser in Sand, LM Secret Concealer 4, MAC Moisturecover Concealer in NW20

Cheeks: NARS Blush in Madly, TBS Baked Bronzer in 01, Sue Moxley Baked Highlighter in Miami

Eyes: Collection 2000 Liquid Liner in Black, Models Own Eyelash Curlers, Revlon Photoready Mascara (my fave mascara ever!), GOSH Eyeliner in Blue Grass (think it is discontinued?)

Lips: Sleek Tinted Lip Colour Pot in Peach as base, MAC Jazzed Lipstick, UD Pocket Rocket Lipgloss in Clear

Et voila! I like how it's just an uber natural look with a splash of colour. ( I have posted a second photo so that you can see the deep turquoise liner on my bottom lash line.)


Hopefully I will be blogging when I am back from Morocco...or I might even surprise you all but for now take care and enjoy your summer!

Love Sara xx


NQT year DONE. School is OUT. Summer is ON!

Apologies - my bad as I have not blogged in a whole long while! The summer term in school is by far the most busiest. Honestly there is zero time to sit down and relax for 5 minutes! Although I am pleased and relieved that I have passed my first year as a teacher and it has been so enjoyable! Yes, school is finally out for the summer!!

What have I been upto? Erm...to be honest lazing around since Wednesday and going out for Iftar with friends. I think the tiredness of the term is slowly catching up on me. I have actually been having proper lie-ins for like the first time this year. Although they will soon be phased out once I get bored! It has been really hard trying not to think about school work for September and even when I am on the net I find myself veering to Amazon or School resource websites ( sad I know!) But I have been reasonably good today...

I was in Paperchase the other day having a mooch around the card section and it got me thinking that I really should get back into card making. I used to love it so much but then when I started working it took a back seat. So one of my aims this summer is to create a mahoosive collection. Yes I am being serious and possibly sending a sample to Paperchase (fingers crossed!) Alongside that aim, I also want to create a website for my art work....although I need to crack on making some more art if I want to showcase it to the public. We'll see...

I'm also off to Morocco in 10 days which I am so excited about. I will hopefully be teaching out there for 2 weeks as well as fitting in some sightseeing. I will be blogging when I get back now but before then I have a makeup post about my latest makeup.

That's all for now...

Love Sara xx
