Ciaté Mini Mani Month

Although I promised myself that I wouldn't get excited about Christmas until exams finished on the 4th December, I can't help it - everything's just so damn Christmassy! 

Today, something really exciting arrived through my letterbox, the Ciaté Mini Mani Month advent calendar. 
I'm sure that if you haven't been living under a rock for the past couple of months then you'll know just how crazy the world has gone for beauty advent calendars - it seems to be the 'in' thing of the year. I'm not complaining though! 

Ciaté is definitely one of my favourite nail varnish brands, I think that the quality of the nail polishes and treatments are excellent value for money and I can't wait to try the new make up collections! 
Can we take a moment to appreciate the packaging please? 
Thank you 

SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THE CONTENTS (if you're nosy then go on) 

So, inside the calendar are 3x nail treatments, 17x nail polishes, 1x mystery full sized bottle of nail polish, 1x glass nail file and 2x nail toppers (I think this is just glitter to you and I). 
The colours are featured on the description below 

So, if you're looking for a last minute advent calendar (or a Christmas present for a beauty addict) definitely have a look at this... 
Not sure it beats good old chocolate though ;) 

Hope you've all had a wonderful November. Have a lovely lovely 1st December and let me know what lovely advent calendars you have/ what you'll be up to this festive season.

What I've Been Up To

If I'm being entirely honest, not that much has happened so far this year. I haven't been to many places in 2018, instead spending my weekends at work waitressing and revising. However, as we're now 7 months (?!?!) in to 2018 and I haven't posted on here for a while, I thought I would write a post with a few of things that have been happening - or what I can think of off the top of my head.  NOTE: You might want to skim read this, I've rambled quite a bit   January  The year kicked off with trial exams as soon as we returned to school so I ended up spending all but one day of the Christmas holidays revising. I am glad that I did the revision that I did as not only did it help me enormously in the trial exams, but by the time I came to revise for my final exams, I didn't have to start from scratch with revision resources as I had re-read some of my Literature books, made revision cards and refreshed the content from the previous year. I do still think i...

My Views on Oxford

There have been very few posts on this blog over the past year. Probably the biggest reason for that is being incredibly busy after starting university. Now two terms in to my time studying Law at Oxford, I feel as though I can reflect on the ups and downs since I arrived and give my thoughts on the university as a Northern, state school student. Quick note: these are my experiences only and may not reflect those of all students  The work  I feel as though this is the most frequent question: is it hard? Quite frankly, Oxford wouldn't be able to maintain its prestige if it wasn't hard. But realistically, university in general is hard. Living away from home, making new friends, finding your way around a city whilst juggling work and extra-curricular activities is always going to be difficult. However, Oxford does take this up a notch. Oxford students generally are not allowed to take on paid employment during term time, with exceptions of working occasionally for th...
