5 Things I Want To Do This Summer | 2015 - UPDATE!

So back in May I wrote a list of 5 things I wanted to achieve by the end of the summer. It's practically the end of the summer so lets see how well I did. If you didn't see the post read it here. 

1 - Kick fitness' ass and get healthier  Done

Well I would like to think I have done this, I mean I'm still not as fit as I would like to be but I'm better. I no longer drink 5 glasses of coke a week, I've changed to sparkling water. I aim to drink around 1/1.5 litres of water a day which is great, I feel much better for it too. I can now also run for an acceptable amount of time whereas before I would get tired after 1 minute. All marathons have to start somewhere right?!

Guest Post | Drugstore No Makeup Makeup Look

Hello everyone! 

You may know me from my blog, A Sprinkle of Emily, and if you don’t then go and check out my blog at the end of this post! Today I am going to be sharing with you a natural makeup look that is perfect for the back to school season. I have made sure that this look is affordable, so all of the items mentioned are from the drugstore. :) 

Rimmel Stay Matte primer (£5.99)

I like to prime my face before I apply makeup, as it helps your makeup stay on all day. If you are wearing makeup for school it is especially important to prime your face as you may not have time to reapply your makeup throughout the day. I love the Rimmel Stay Matte primer as it really does keep your makeup on longer, and it acts almost like a glue for your foundation. 

Reviving Old Albums | Of Mice and Men - My Head is an Animal

Reviving Old Albums | Of Mice and Men - My Head is an Animal

Now this album came out in 2011 and I absolutely loved it. So did the UK when it got to number 3 in the UK charts, its now got a over 1 million sales worldwide. After listening to it on repeat for about a month, I never got bored - somehow I simply forgot about the album.  I have no idea how you can just forget a whole album/artist but I did.

It wasn't until I was on Spotify the other day listening to a Feel Good playlist that Little Talks came on and it reminded me of the uniquely amazing band that I once loved. Immediately I thought, I must share this with my blog so that I never forget it again, so here I am.

About the guest author

Hello, my name is Fiona and I had the honor of writing this guest post on Abbie’s blog.

I also have my own blog, called RecapWizard. This blog is like a map into a small part of my brain. My favourite thing ever is Netflix, so I write recaps and reviews about my favourite (or not so favourite) TV shows, films and books. And now to the actual post:

Vienna - a small city in the heart of Europe; in other words the capital city of Austria. A small, yet very beautiful place filled with things to do and explore. Maybe some of you have heard about Austria through famous names relevant to music, like Mozart, Haydn or Schubert. You also may know Austria because of people like Gustav Klimt, Maria Theresia, Falco or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It doesn’t really matter if you do or don’t know this little piece of paradise – you will get to explore some parts by reading this post. Have fun on this short “virtual tour” of Vienna, where I’m going to show you some of my favorite (and maybe not so touristy) places!

First stop: “Hundertwasserhaus”

Monthly Goals | September 2015

Monthly Goals | September 2015

Hiya! 

How's August been for you? Maybe it's just me but August has flown by! Anyway, on with the post...

Last months goals

Work harder on my blog. I personally think I have done this, I've worked on it nearly everyday and I have loads of posts scheduled but I now feel like I need more. 

Try to do as much as possible. This I'm not fully satisfied with, I would like to try more at this because I feel like I could have achieved so much more during August.
