Yep, those dreaded folk, the ones that work hard during the week and are willing to pay normal prices for their drinks. Those people that you'd never dream as a student that you could be.

And then BAM! Suddenly, you are one of those grown ups.

You may not have seen it coming, the transition may have been very sneaky, but it takes over at some point and when it happens to you, you'll be as shocked as I was.

 Now, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with being a student, or even just enjoying a week night out. I'm not here to judge anybody.

With photographs like this, I could never judge.

 In my days as a student/teenager I LOVED going out during the week, it was the best! How could it be THAT cheap?!

Because who doesn't love the bouncers on a night out?! Don't worry, I did know him!

 I went through a period where I was out nearly every night(and I still to this day don't know how I afforded it or how I survived it!), and you just think to yourself "never again"... Then, inevitably you would do it to yourself all over again at the next available opportunity, because all of that pain coming your way the next day, it will totally be worth it.

Told you I can't judge

Then comes that special day when you realise, it is totally NOT worth it. And you come to terms with the fact that, indeed, you are too old for it.

I'm not sure if there is an actual age where you are classed as being too old for these kinds of nights out, or how you even define it. I personally think that it's all to do with your mental age and state of mind. I'm not judging anyone for still loving that lifestyle, a lot of my friends still do it.

However, I think the time has come for me to accept that it is totally over.

And I'm not even sad about it.

So, here are the realisations that came to me as I stood in a sweaty nightclub on a Monday night surrounded by these carefree, weeknight partygoers, absolutely hating life...

1. Wow... This club is so freaking busy... And warm, man is it warm in here. There is no way there is air-con in here, I feel like I'm walking through an invisible wall of stranger sweat. Is it also necessary to have to keep touching people and have them touch me?

2. I need to hold on to any part of my friend(Laura), because if I lose her, I'm literally running out of here and into the first taxi home.

3. Well, CLEARLY the ID'ing process in this nightclub is failing, because these people all look about 12, there is no way in hell they are legally allowed to be in here.

4. I am going to need a lot of alcohol to get through this night.

5. Aaaaaannnnd the bar is about 5 deep... Amazing...*resigns self to queueing for 20mins*

6.Finally get to the front of the queue and then some bimbo pushes her way to the front, flashes bar tender a smile, gets served first obviously. Great, a twelve year old who can't be legal to drink has managed to get served before me. Because I am a decent human and I'm not drunk I will not be *THAT customer* and complain, because I know that gets you nowhere.

7. Why do people insist on elbowing you?! Is there really any need?! I'm just standing here, keeping to myself, please remove your elbow from my boob it won't get you served quicker.

8. FINALLY I have been served!!!

And this friends, was my thought process on my last ever week night out. Apologies for the length, but I wanted you to really feel my pain with me as my youth rapidly slipped away. And also, thank you if you made it to the end! If you did, I get the feeling you are feeling the same way! At least now you know you aren't alone!

I do want to say though, that I am so glad I went on the night out, it was for my best friends birthday and I wouldn't have missed it for the world! I'm more than happy to go out, especially if it makes her night a little bit better. Just maybe next time we could take a raincheck on the student night... That could be fun :)


I'm not trying to put a downer on it, I promise I can have a good time, this was just a fun post to mark the end of an era.

Let me know what thoughts you have on this subject, let me know I am not alone please!

We have them!! We finally have them!!

And oh were they worth the wait!

Who hasn't been dying to see the first official pictures of our beautiful little Princess! And to top it off, it wasn't your typical royal portrait. In true Kate and William style, the portrait was so full of love and joy, with that personal touch that they add to everything, Princess Charlotte was presented proudly in the arms of her gorgeous big brother in these stunning first photos!.

To make them even more special, the pictures were taken by their beautiful mother Kate, who is a keen ammatuer photographer, you can just feel the family pride at releasing these first official photographs, giving the world a tiny glimpse into their private little family. With her adorable big brother beaming down at her with such love, these pictures are just too sweet, I genuinely felt my heart explode into sprinkles of glitter and confetti, like seriously... Just look at these!

I would just like to say a big thank you to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for giving us a peek at their beautiful little Princess and for ALL THE CUTENESS IN THE WORLD!!! I wish this little family all the love and happiness in the world and hope they enjoy the privacy that they all deserve during this special time!

Love,

Okay, so we all know how important our eyebrows have become to us in the past few years. With the current Queen of the Power Brow Cara Delevingne, along with countless celebs and models sporting the look too, the pressure on the brow is bigger than ever!

She's Current Queen of the Power Brow and she knows it!

The reason your brows are so important are not only for their practical purpose, but for their very important aesthetic purpose(have you ever seen people with their brows removed?!).

If one of the most beautiful people in the world can't pull it off, I think I'll avoid this look!

I Dreamed A Dream would have been more of a freaky nightmare!- No offence Anne, you're still a babe!

Nobody would have trusted him to run the country without his strong brows, I'm tellin ya'!

They frame your beautiful face, giving you definition and shape. For these reasons you need to look after them and give them a bit of TLC every now and again.

So, here are my tips for keeping those brows on point!

(These pictures were taken in natural light, hence the difference in the brightness)

As you can see here, the difference to my brows isn't huge, I like to go for a bold, yet natural look with my eyebrows. I just think that it works so much better with all my different makeup looks. As you've got a reasonably simple look with your basic features, it means you can go more dramatic with areas like the eyes. After all, you'd rather people appreciate your beautiful eyes than stare at your big scary brows!

So here's the complete finished look!

I feel so blessed to be able to do things like this with the people I love the most, making memories and discovering new places with your loved ones is so special and something everyone should do if they can!

It really was a dream come true. It was tiring, we crammed a lot into those eight days and there is so much more that we wished we could have done, but it was so worth it! There is just too much to talk about when it comes to both of these cities! I had actually written a much longer post than this, but realised it was just too difficult to describe! Paris and Amsterdam just have a beauty about it that cannot be explained, it just needs to be experienced.
