Leeds: mini haul.


I recently took a day trip to Leeds, mainly to help my friend get some photos together for uni. But who could resist the temptation of the Victoria quarter. Sadly, I only picked up the necessities.

-Mums christmas present. 
A certain Radley product she asked for :) 
-Mac Pro-Longewear concealer (NC20). 
I couldn't live without this, especially for pictures.


- Opi, This gown needs a crown.
You can never own too many silver glitter polishes.
-Seche Vite.
I've heard beauty bloggers banging on about this product for years but I've never been able to find it. I'm excited to see if it's worth all the hype. (Reviewed this I'm my last post).
- Whittard's of Chelsea instant tea.
I've been searching for apple tea for years. So glad I finally found some.
- The cosiest slippers in the world.
Christmas slippers are clearly a necessity. What would a girl do without them?

I love shopping in larger cities, it's so nice to actually be able to pick up and try higher end items without having to blind buy them online first. Leeds saw my first trip into Space NK and Jo Malone. Im now crazy obsessed with Jo Malone's Blackberry and Bay, if I was a millionaire I would have bought the entire range. Space NK on the other hand was a tad disappointing. Honestly I think you can get a better selection in the majority of department stores.

My trip to Leeds also gave me the opportunity to do some filming, so that I can get back in the swing of editing before my next big trip. If you want to see my horrific attempt at filming and editing for the first time in over four years. Click here.

Until next time.

Bartender's biggest pet peeves.

I have worked in a bar for over three years now and don't get me wrong I love it. But sometimes drunk people can be the worst people you will ever meet. Most bars/ clubs follow a standard six steps of service. Here are some the problems most bartender's experience on an average night.

Welcome.

- That napkin is there for a reason, please, just leave it.
- Theres no need to shout, click or waver your money at us, we can see you.
- If your going to ignore us when we get to you, don't call us back. You missed your turn.
- Don't ask to be next, that's you last on the list.
- If you give up your turn for the attractive female next to you, don't expect to be next.

Order.

- Tell us the whole order in one go, we don't have the memory of a goldfish.
- We love making making cocktails, but please if you order half the menu expect to be at the bar for while.
- "What shots do you do?" everything you see behind us is shotable. Use your eyes.
- "What's your cheapest drink?" The shit stuff.

Preparation. 

- If you don't want ice, please tell us when you order. If it ends up on the bar, you're on our blacklist.

Creation.

-"Is there vodka in this?" No i just thought I'd give you a glass of coke.
-"Thats definitely a double, right?" You just watched me pour it, what do you think?

Presentation.

- Why do drunk people insist on taking their drink before it's finished?!
- Please wait until the drink is made to add your straws. Most bartenders will put them in for you.
- If you spill your drink, your not getting a free one. If we spill it then it's a different story.

Payment.

- Please have your money ready. Everyone else is going to be shooting you dirty looks if you take ten minutes to get your wallet out.
- Why do drunk people insist on putting money on the bar?! You try to pick coins out of the only wet patch of the bar.
- If theres a massive sign saying cash only, it means cash only.
- Unless theres are offers on, No you're not getting any discount.


I could go on forever but it's not all doom and gloom. Working in a bar is one of the best places to work, especially if you are a student trying to support your expensive lifestyle. 

Until next time.

My favourite blogs.

It's no secret that youtube is taking over the world, I love binge watching vloggers and fail videos as much as another person.

but most of them started out by blogging, and after spending the past few years religiously reading my favourite blogs while avoiding university assignments they inspired me to start my own.

So heres a list of my favourite blogs and why I love them.

Hannah Michalak, is one of my all time favourite blogger/ youtubers. I find myself counting down the days until sunday, when her latest video goes up and the only thing that calms this craving is reading her regular blog posts.

Everybody who reads blogs knows who Kandee Johnson is. She doesn't even need an explanation. She's just amazing.

After a year of living less that 50 feet from each other we became very good friends:) and when she finally let me read her blog, the deal was sealed I knew I wanted to start my own. If you enjoy beauty, fashion and lifestyle I'm sure you will fall head over heels for Nicola's blog.


Until next time.

Hello World.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Welcome roamers of the interwebs.

My name is Rosey, Im a twenty-two year old graduate living in Lincoln.

Like most of us fresh out of education I have far too much time on my hands. Rather than continuing to waste my life sleeping and job hunting I thought I would start this blog to share the things I love with the world.

I don't really know where I want to go with this blog and I have a feeling my posts are going to be a little all over the place. What I do know are the things I love, shopping, beauty and traveling. So expect the majority of my posts to fall into these three categories.

Until next time.
