NOTD: Cheap but not chearful

Here I'm wearing a black polish by Wet N' Wild for 99c with frenzy by Sinful Colours. I like using glitter top coats as they finish any look. I think they are best worn for the night time and celebrations however they can make a nice change from wearing a matte colour. I'm being brave and jumping straight into a winter shade however white and black can be worn all year round. This summer I have been loving my orange nail polish by Rimmel London as it compliments a tan perfectly. Also today I received my first pedicure with white nail polish which was super relaxing! Monochrome is definitely here to stay .

GCSE Results Day

On Thursday I finally got my results that I'd been working hard for. As I'm still in Florida I got them collected for me and I got to see a clip of my friend receiving hers at school. I got 4A's 6B's and 2C's, I'm happy with these results with the exception of my two B's in English as that was unexpected. However I have secured my place at sixth form where I will be studying Geography, English Literature, Biology, and Photography. 

It's definitely different receiving your results separately from others as you don't get to experience the atmosphere and to share your happiness with your friends who you've been working along side with. However I was able to recieve my results in the quite of my own home and wind down. I didn't celebrate much but as you can see I was taken out for a meal at a European restaurant which sure was good.

I have also been doing lots of Back To School shopping so I have bought myself a wardrobes worth of clothes! I'm starting to get excited to return home on the 29th and as soon as I'm back in England I'll be looking to get a part time job. If you received your results I hope you got what you wished for and if not don't stress about it too much as you will still have options.

Hope you're all well

River City and Jags game

Hey beautiful people, here's another update of my time in America. This pictures are actually from a couple of weeks ago but basically I got the opportunity to see the first Jacksonville Jaguars game of the season. We didn't win and the play wasn't great, I found it hard to keep up sometimes as I'm not accustomed to American football. The first set of pictures are from Jacksonville Landing which is the skyline of Jacksonville and is quite nice to relax by.

Last week I was helping out at a Middle School and will continue to do so this week, however my GCSE results on Thursday are the big deal of the week. I hope everyone gets the results they're looking for, and don't be nervous! Also I'm a real lucky girl as I found some brilliant finds at Goodwill the other day and my neighbour came around with bags of clothes for me to choose from, I'm so set for Back to School now!

Hope you're all making the most of the end of summer

Tybee Island and Savannah

Last week I went to Savannah in Georgia to look at it's history. It was where a scene from forest gump was filmed on the bench. But the thing that really interested me was the architecture and layout of the place as it is unlike anything I have seen. The area looks pretty run down and the buildings on the river look like those we had before the world war! But it's so intriguing to look at and think that those had been there a long time. I also loved that the roads were cobblestone as it adds to the 'ancient' feel of the place.

Then we headed up to our main destination; Tybee Island. This was where The Last Song was filmed with Miley Cyrus. I loved both book and film so it was lovely to be able to walk along the beaches at twilight as it felt almost surreal. The people and set up is just so beautiful and really gives the impression of it being an island. It's all fun and games there; by day you can run in the sun, by night you can live it up. What I mean to say is that it's a really relaxing place to be.

July Favourites

Hello girlies!! Hope you're all enjoying summer, I'm loving it here it Florida (more pics to follow). July has been the first month this year for me without having any exams. I've been buying lots of things to treat myself and in preparation for college. Baby lips are so old now but aren't sold in the UK so I had to pick them up since they're so raved about. I love them both the first gives a good pink tint and the second is to stop my lips getting burnt (not a good look, trust me).

I already have the St Ives apricot scrub at home but I needed something for while I'm here and so far I find this one is much better. Unlike the apricot one the scrub is gentle yet absorbs dirt very well. I suggest using it with a good moisturiser as it may make your skin dry out. It seems to be doing the job and I like that it's green tea as that stuff is good for you! ;)

Forget lucky charms these things are gorg, I may have eaten too many boxes however so this month I'll be back to museli and special K but these taste real nice as the chocolate isn't overpowering. If you like cocoa pops I'm sure you'de love these.

Lastly from Bath and Body Works are these two shower gels in the scents Twilight woods and Rio Rumberry. I wouldn't describe them as summer scents but they are to die for and I plan on getting more to take back with me to England. If your in America I suggest you check these out, I'd love Twilight woods as a perfume as it's musky yet sweet at the same time....tempted to get it.

What has been your July favs??
