have a jolly olly olly halloween!!

Helllllooo sugar! Long time no speak, I apologise profusely! 

I was struck down with a killer case of a sicky bug! Oh it was dreadful but dramatics aside, I'm on the mend! I did not miss a day of work so therefore something had to have time off and that was the Internet! 

However, Halloween came and I had a Halloween party to attend, I never do much for Halloween but this year I knew people would be all dressed up and actually, it would be embarrassing to not do the same.

Every year I do manage to chuck on some ears and draw an eye-liner nose on myself but this year I wanted to step it up a notch. I wanted to dress a bit sexy so Ann Summers was my first stop, i typed "cat into the search bar and up it popped with the one outfit I KNEW I needed!

Just look at it! It has a tail for crying out loud!!!

It was in the Ann Summers sale for £20 but then with the delivery charge it would be about £25... not so good for a one night thing right? So being a bargain hunter I went for ebay! I found a size 14 for £12 or something and nabbed that right up! I was so excited when it came to my door and I promptly stripped to try it on! It was a nightmare, it was teeny (yes blame the clothes) then the zip broke. How fat did I feel right then lets all think about it - ahaha! So off it went back to the seller and I had to decide do I get a 16 or 18? Time was getting pretty short with a week to go till the party and my predicament was would a 16 not fit and I couldn't wear it full stop or would an 18 be too big and just look like a sack of potatoes. 

I couldn't find any of those sizes for any lovely prices online so I had to order from Ann Summers but a little trick I learnt folks was if you go into the store and order it through their online system (literally let me behind the till to Internet shop it was so weird) they give you FREE home delivery!! Hurrah, I hate paying delivery, bloody hate it, so it was a result for me.

One very bad thing about Ann Summers delivery is that I received an email thanking me for my order but not a dispatch email so all week i was worried about where the devil my package was!! Eventually it came Thursday (i had ordered it  Friday) for my party the next day! & it fit!!!

Look at my kitty in the corner !!

 

My friends went as a police woman (officer naughty!) and a sailor girl!! 

The party we went to was INSANE. She went all out, i wish i took photos! There were gazebos everywhere with sheets up covered in blood with knives and stuff! And they had this chill out room which was all UV and had a TV with the ring montage thing on a loop! creepy!

Mitch glowing away..

MEOW

Aw this guy is so sweet! We used to hang out and had a nice little chat it was lovely!

Officer Naughty and her prisoner!!

I left early as I had a raging headache and I wanted my bed but it was a good night and I can't lie, I loved people telling me how good I looked since they last saw me. MAKE UP <3

How was your Halloween guys?? What did you dress as?!?

EEEE now Halloween is over it's CHRISTMAS TIME <3

xoxoxo

TANNING!!!

Hey hiiii hello!! Don't mind the posing photo, that was taken after many jager bombs!! 

So this post is all about tannnnnning! It's not a how to or anything, it's just what I have and how I do it! I never used to be much of a tanner till last year, i associated tan with orange skin and now I see it doesn't have to be like that (and actually I don't mind a bit of orange!)

Naturally my skin is the pale side of Olive. My dads skin is like super dark as soon as summer hits and one of my sisters friends who is Jamaican did not think he was our dad cause he's so dark. Luckily, I take after him and I got his skin! Genetic Raffle!

I'm not big on sunbathing as I get so bored and I lay out for ten minutes and expect instant results. It's like every couple of minutes i check if I have a tan line & when I don't i sulk and go watch Friends or something. Plus the health warnings scare me a lot so instant self tanner is for me!

I'm quite a bad tanner really, I tend to just tan when i have an occasion like a night out but the last time I tanned I realised how much healthier it made me look and the confidence I get so I'm decided to try and stay tanned for as long as I can! But usually I don't have a routine on how I use it!

I do usually just have a bath cause I know I'm not gonna want to bathe after I tan till maybe the next day and it's a nice way to relax and get all the old tan off if you still have it on!

Most people say to exfoliate the day before but i tend to just put on my exfoliating gloves now and rub my knees and elbows. I'm so lazy I swear!

The pretty pink ducks are optional but I do highly recommend having them!

When I get out of the bath I throw on heaps of this stuff, however much I put in my legs and arms I put three times as many layers on my elbows! I have dark elbows and knees at the best of times (it's odd my mum has a skin condition which makes her have patches of no skin pigment and wherever she has a white patch I have dark patches which are like permanent bruises! spooky) 

The perk of this is it's SUPER moisturising and it smells like chocolate so when that fake tan smell hits it's literally delicious!

These are some of my tans! I do love a bargain so St. Moriz is used a lot! I have a few gradual moisturisers which I don't tend to use really as they were used when I was scared of fake tan and now we're best friends I don't need those pesky weaklings! 

I love the moriz mousse! I use a layer of medium and then the dark because it tends to go darker and look more of a natural dark than a dipped in mud look!

The Soltan bottle was the first tan I bought from boots! It was good but VERY shimmery but I do really love the smell of it but at £6 I can just get bottles of st moriz for that! 

The St tropez is an instant tan (must have!) because as you're well aware I'm lazy and sometimes I do not want to move and get up to tan so in the morning i'll whack that on if im wearing a dress! Its really natural and gives a good colour but nothing does beat a wear off tan! 

The last is the Fake Bake beyond bronze airbrush tanner and I wish I could afford to buy this all the time!! It does make a lot of mess as it gets into the air so the whole bathroom is like brown not just where you sprayed it so i think when I live alone I will use this always but for now I cannot be doing with the agg from my mum and sister about why everythings "orange".

Silly pale peasants hhaha!

So this is the mess after using the fake bake, it doesn't look TOO bad though right?

eeeeek it looks like a murder scene!!! There is just so much wastage with this product though! It kills me having to put all that down the drain! 

At least with my Mousse tans the wastage in the mit is so tiny!

and my fake tanned feet! hahah they looked so dirty for days :(

So that was just be babbaling about fake tan for a bit! I'm really gonna try and remain tanned cause i LOVE being so brown and it makes you look so much slimmer and healthier. Quickly going to become addicted!

What tan do you use?!

Any you could reccomend?!

Have a fabulous day today and if you ever miss summer just crack out the tan!
