How is 2014 only a couple of hours away? That's crazy. It feels like yesterday that 2012 was ending and I was ringing in the new year lying on my sofa, oh so badass, I know. I kind of don't want 2013 to end, it was such a great year for me. I feel like 2013 was the year that I was genuinely happy, I really took my happiness into consideration and weeded out all the bad aspects of my life and even though it sounds cliché, it really worked. I look back on this time last year and I can see that a lot of things have changed.
The one thing that hasn't changed, however, is the fact that I didn't keep my New Year's resolutions. None of them. So I'm writing here, right now, I'm gonna keep them this year. To help me keep them, I'm gonna write them here and come back to this post next year and let you guys know which ones I kept and which ones I didn't, so here we go:
Work hard in school
Eat healthier & drink more water
Exercise more & not be as lazy
Use the internet less but blog at least once a week
Take more pictures & make more memories
Okay, so there they are. I don't know how I'm gonna do them all but I'm certainly gonna try. Let me know what your resolutions are or do you not have any?
I wish you all a happy new year and I hope 2014 treats you well, see you then! Lauren, xo.

Hi everyone. About a week ago I was in Superdrug browsing around and I noticed they had a 3 for 2 sale on ALL of their make-up products so of course I used this as an opportunity to buy myself all the stuff I needed atm. Although I bought everything about a week ago, I wanted to wait until I'd used the products so that I could give you all a little mini review of them as I decided to try out a new mascara and a new concealer (you'll see that I was very late to hop onto both of these products but hey what can ya do, eh?)
Maybelline Falsies Mascara
I was hesitant on buying this as I was so comfortable with my last mascara but the little lacy pattern on the cap broke me. I'm a sucker for cute packaging and I'm glad I am, hahaha. I literally fell in love with this the first time I used it. It's everything you want from a mascara - lengthening, volumising and no clumping. It's perfect. :)
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer
I've been wanting to try this for a while but I put off until I was finished with my last concealer and I wish I would've tried it sooner. I can literally see this concealer lasting me so long because the tiniest drop goes the longest way. This is by far the best concealer I've ever used and for being super cheap, I can see myself buying so much more of it.
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
I picked this up because of the 3 for 2 offer really but I've been using this powder for about 2 months now and I love it. Just like the Collection concealer, a little goes a long way and it never leaves my face looking cakey so that's a plus in itself! :)
F&F Boots
I haven't worn these boots yet but I really needed new ones and these were too cute to leave behind. If you'd like me to do a post on how I style these boots comment below and let me know!
Thanks for reading <3
As you know, Christmas is coming up which means that I had to do a little online browsing. I came across a few things that I'd really like to get and I just wanted to tell you a little bit about each of them. Yaaaaay. :)
MICHAEL KORS LADIES FELICITY WATCH MK3227 £175.56: I was browsing through thewatchhut.co.uk and I came across this lovely watch. I instantly fell in love with it's pretty but sleek design. I feel as though the grey and rose gold compliment eachother really well. This is definitely something I'd like to see perched under my Christmas tree.
River Island Quilted Winged Colourblock Tote Bag £45: I'm not one to carry bags but that's mainly just because I literally don't have any that I like that much. When I saw this bag I instantly knew that I would get so much use out of it. For one I know it would go with everything I wear and it's also just way too beautiful to leave lying in your room.
A Question Of Organic Paris Sweatshirt £75: Now. Can we just talk about this jumper for one second. Oh my gosh. I am literally SO in love with it, it's not even funny. At £75, it is a little but on the pricier side of things but I know that I'd probably wear it every other day.

Now that that the leaves are starting to brown and fall off the trees whilst it starts getting dark at 7 or 8, it's evident that autumn is here. Autumn is probably my favourite time of the year (other than Christmas obviously). I just wanted to do a little post about why I love autumn and I also wanted to share some of my autumn music favourites with you guys. :)
The one thing I love most about autumn is wrapping up all nice and cosy and spending nights at home, sipping tea and watching movies. There's just something about it that makes my heart feel warm and I literally crave the feeling throughout the year.
HALLOWEEN, well that isn't obvious at all is it??? I love Halloween, it's such a fun time of year! I'm more excited for this Halloween than I ever have been before 'cause my friend is having a party and we're all gonna dress up and oh I'm getting all too excited right now. I'm also super pumped for my costume (which I'm keeping secret for now ;) but you will find out what it is haha), I've been itching to wear it for so long and I'm so glad I finally can!
Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Can we just like, take a sec to indulge on these? Oh. My. God. Last year, Starbucks in the UK brought out the Pumpkin Spice Lattes and woah, I got hooked. I was hesitant to try it at first but so many people were raving about them so I just had to and let me tell you, it was a veeeeeeeeery good decision. If you haven't tried one, PLEASE do, you really will not regret it. :)
I have so much more I love about the fall/autumn time but we'd be here for ages if I wrote down everything. Haha, but I do want to give you a little peek at what music I love for autumn so here we go.
Move - Little Mix // All Too Well - Taylor Swift // Treacherous - Taylor Swift // Tattooed Heart - Ariana Grande // Leaving California - Boys Like Girls // Autumn Leaves - Ed Sheeran // In A Song - Hunter Hayes // Demons - Imagine Dragons // Roar - Katy Perry // Closer To Me - Megan and Liz // Nervous Girls - Lucy Hale // White Horse - Taylor Swift // Love Story - Taylor Swift // Haunted - Taylor Swift // Last Kiss - Taylor Swift //
Let me know what you love about autumn and what music you're loving atm. :)
