Oops... I did it again.

For the last week, I've been sitting my first set of med school exams. I did my clinical exam yesterday and that was intensely stressful, to say the least. However, now that is out of the way,  I have a relatively free weekend, as my last exam isn't till Wednesday. So, to give myself a well-deserved little break, my friend and I went into town for some coffee.

Well, one thing led to another, and we did a spot of shopping. I went into Urban Outfitters to take advantage of the post-holiday sales and found this little birdcage shelf:


Top, back: OPI - No Room for the Blues, OPI - Goldeneye, No7 - Vivid Violet, No7 - Totally Teal, No7 - Betty Blues
Top, front: OPI - Skyfall Bondettes Mini Collection (review below), No7 - Tangy, random little ducky I found in Bath
Bottom, back: Butter London - The Black Knight, Illamasqua - Bacterium, Illamasqua - Creator, Nails Inc. - Portebello, Barry M - #293
Bottom, front: Nails Inc. - Porchester Sq., Nails Inc. - Haymarket, Illamasqua - Charisma, Rimmel London - Clearly Clear, Illamasqua - Force, Barry M - #313


I saw this first on Anna's YouTube channel (vivannadoesmakeup) and I kind of fell in love with it. With it set at £12, I had to get it -- I think it's just adorable!

Then, I was a little tad naughty and went into Jo Malone, and.... this happened:


Jo Malone Scented Candle in Nectarine Blossom and Honey

Fun fact about me: I am a sucker for scented candles. I was torn between this, the French Lime Blossom one and the English Pear and Freesia one. Finally, I settled on this Nectarine Blossom and Honey one.This little beauty did make my wallet £38 lighter but I simply couldn't resist. On the upside, this smells like Heaven. Thanks Jo! :')

Now I'm going to tuck myself in bed (I know it's early... I'm such a grandma haha) with this baby burning beside me, a nice cuppa tea and watch the latest Grey's Anatomy episode. Shonda Rhimes never ceases to make me bawl like a baby...

Hugs and kisses,
Claire xoxo
