Cafe Coco

 At the weekend a few of the girls and myself decided to take a break from revision and work, we went to our favorite cafe, the little shabby chic cafe Coco, in St Peters Walk, Northampton. It is the kind of place that is hard to pass without wanting to go in, with unique, eye-catching decor, it's definitely a place you can go to take a break and relax away from the busy lives we all lead!

 They have a huge selection of fillings with the choice of Panini's; Baguettes; Sandwiches; Toasties; wraps and Jackets, along with a huge selection of cake and pastries. They also have a large selection of drinks with your teas, coffees, soft drinks to some of the best flavoured milkshakes I've ever tasted! Everything is served with a smile in cute crockery, and i've heard they may start serving breakfast?

 We definitely recommend this gorgeous cafe to everyone in the area as you cannot go wrong with good food at a reasonable price! It is the perfect place to go for a relaxed coffee break and a bite to eat with your friends and family!

Why it's okay to be single on Valentines day!

So it's a week till valentines day, the day a lot of singles dread. But as a single I wanted to share my thoughts on valentines day, how you should do valentines, and why it is okay to celebrate being single! After all what really makes it different to any other day?

 First of all I love a printed tee and these ones are just what you need for valentines day...

ASOS £18

Missguided £15

In the Style £18.99

What makes it better? well...

• You are the ruler of your own life, you are free to do what you want and go wherever you like 
• All your attention is focused on yourself, you can focus on what makes you a better person and pamper yourself 
• Which leads you to be able to treat yourself (you definitely cannot go wrong with your own gift!)
• Its fun to be solo, you can then focus on socialising
• It's better than being in a drowning relationship (im not saying every relationship is bad, just some are)
• You can flirt with whoever you like 
• You can spend the day how you chose to 
• 50 Shades of grey comes out!
• And finally, you've probably get best friends who are on the same boat to spend it with, so why would you need a man?! 

 This link pretty much sums up why its better to spend valentines with a best friend http://elitedaily.com/women/22-legitimate-reasons-valentine-need-bff/925584/

Affordable Lipstick- Topshop and Rimmel

 So I have been looking around for make-up, lipsticks in particular, which are a good quality, last a long time and are affordable. Of course we would all love to be able to buy Mac or Chanel Lipstick all the time, but as students we have to limit our budget.

 I usually use Rimmel London for all of my make-up as I find it works well with my skin and is not too overly priced, they often have promotions on as well! I find the ones from the Kate Moss collection last for the majority of the day and always leave a nice finish, I also love the range of colours they have! A different lipstick can make an outfit look completely different!

 When out shopping the other day I decided to give the Topshop make up range a go, The white chalk on black paper packaging definitely caught my eye, I chose to get the 'Naturist' colour for a natural look in the day time and the 'Role Model' colour for the evenings, to make your lips stand out more! After using both I would definitely recommend them for affordable lipsticks (especially the 'role model' one)! They were smooth and easy to apply; they had a nice texture; they gave the semi-matte finish look I was aiming for and the colour lasted all night! What more could you want?

 Peace.x
