My Week in Pictures | 15.06.15-21.06.15

Hey guys, 

It's been a long time since I wrote a post. I fell asleep halfway through writing my #WakeUpWednesdays post hence there wasn't one. 

But since I've been gone for so long, let's get straight into it.

I was lucky enough to get some work experience at a prestigious inner city law firm. Throughout my time there, I had workshops from a variety of people covering topics such as "demystifying the city law firm" and "communication skills". Along with the workshops, I also got the chance to go to the Royal Courts of Justice and watch two trials. However, this picture isn't about the workshops or the trip, it's about the food. We were given £50 to spend on food. That's £10 a day - we were only there for 5 days. I literally ate breakfast and lunch there, I probably would've ate dinner there too if the canteen was open later. The picture above is of one of the meals I had for lunch. I didn't enjoy all the meals but I guess that's because I'm super fussy.

It was my little sisters 3rd birthday on Wednesday so we had a little get together that day. However, her actual party was on Saturday. My little sister is a big Frozen fan so it was only right for her to have a Frozen cake. Not only did she have a Frozen cake, she also had Elsa's blue dress. The cakes decoration was exquisite and it tasted so delicious. I know who I'll be going to for my birthday.

That's it for this week, I hope you've enjoyed this post. May the rest of this week be as amazing as you are. Don't forget to come back on Wednesday.

See you soon,

Hey guys,

How are you? I hope you're all doing fine. I seem to have developed a habit of writing my posts last minute and I apologise. Since it's already 21:38, I'm going to get straight into it.

So let's get started.

Once exam season was over, I found myself searching for things to do because I no longer had anything that I needed to revise for. I turned to games and as you can see I've got quite far. Even though I have been playing games for almost a month, this is making an appearance this week because it's starting to get a bit frustrating. I am currently on level 94 on Farm Heroes Saga. In order to complete the level I needed 4 more carrots - that's 1 move. Does anybody realise how frustrating that can be? It was grinding my gears because I just couldn't move past it but now I'm on level 99 and I'm still facing the same problem.

This picture here is just a little insight into my camera roll. I haven't told you this before but I have 3 younger siblings - aged 1, 2 (3 on June 17th) and 11. The little ones love to take my phone and leave lovely little gifts for me to look back at. I'm not entirely sure who took this one, it was most likely my 2 year old sister. I've got plenty of pictures similar to this one that I very rarely end up deleting. Don't get it twisted, she can take very good pictures sometimes but this wasn't one of them.

Here's one of her better pictures:

I hope you've enjoyed reading this post. Keep an eye out for Wednesday's motivational post. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week.

See you soon,

Hey guys,

How are you all? I hope you're all doing great, I'm back with another MWIP and I'm going to get straight into it.

So let's get started.

This is one of the goodies I got from the Magnum Regents St Street Party. I'm absolutely in love with it, it makes drinking anything 10 times better. I believe I was able to get through 3/4 cups of water thanks to this cup. I know that's not an awful lot but it's an incredible achievement for me.

In preparation for my Slendertox Tea review, I came across these two pictures (these are not spoilers, sorry). The left picture was taken on the 12th April and the right was taken on the 4th May. It doesn't look like much of a difference but there is a little bit of definition in the ab area which shows that slowly progressing. I've definitely been slacking but coming across these pictures have made me motivated to get back in the gym and work out more often. I will be keeping you updated on my progress throughout my journey.

I hardly do anything interesting when I'm at school because there's just so much work to do and it's a bit hard to balance school work and doing some exploring. I will definitely try to get some more done so that these posts can be a lot more interesting.

That's it for this post. I hope you've enjoyed it, I'll see you all on Wednesdat. Have a great week!

See you soon,

My Week in Pictures | 25.05.15-31.05.15

Hey guys,

How are you all? This list is extremely late due to pure laziness. It's Monday, I don't go back to sixth form until Thursday so I've literally just been in bed. 

Enough about why this is late, let's get started.

Ok, so on Wednesday I got a lovely little delivery from a company that I've spoke about before. Don't know what I'm talking about? CLICK HERE.Yes, I paid for it with my own money but I used my discount code to get some money taken off (BEAUTYTEE10). I got two sets, I'm not really sure why I did but they just looked too amazing for me to resist. As you can see the packaging is absolutely gorg! The gold petals just added to its amazingness (you'll be seeing more of my made up words throughout my blog). Definitely worth the money. CHECK THEM OUT!

Guess who went to the Magnum Regent Street Party. I DID! It was totally by accident, I was on my way to work and ended up at the Street Party. It was such an amazing event, I got there at the very beginning. 12 on the DOT. However, the festivities didn't take too long to start.

Not only did you get as many free ice creams as you wanted but you also got freebies or vouchers from other brands such as Armani Exchange and Ted Baker. I got an eye mask, colouring pencils, a tea bag and a sippy cup from Ted Baker. The sippy cup and the eye mask are my favourite.

This week has been my most exciting week in a very long time and hopefully that came through in this post. I love to get out and about but my exams didn't allow me to. Despite having to go back to sixth form this Thursday, I will try to do some interesting things so that you are never able to predict my next #MWIP.

That's it for now, I hope you all have an amazing week. Thanks for reading this post. For advice/enquiries email me at beautyandtee@icloud.com

See you soon,

My Week in Pictures | 18.05.15-24.05.15

Hey guys,

Happy Bank Holiday Monday and for all my American readers, Happy Memorial Day. I hope you're all having an amazing day today. Well, today's obviously Monday so that's means that today's post is about my previous week.

So let's get started.

As disgusting as this may look, it tasted delicious. It was my cousins 6th birthday party on Saturday and it was loads of fun. There was candy floss and chocolate covered fruit and marshmallows, along with other food. The chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows had to be the highlight of the whole day.

Ok, so yesterday after a long day at cheerleading with my sister and cousin, we decided to go out to eat. We ended up going to Pizza Hut. I must say that I am never going back again; not only did my sister find some hair in our pizza but we also paid twice the amount we would have paid if we had just ordered it for takeaway. However the pizza was nice and we had a great time bonding together.

That's basically all I've done this week. Once my exams finished, I literally just spent the days sleeping, eating or babysitting. Hopefully, you've all had a much more interesting week than I did. There will be a #WAKEUPWEDNESDAYS post this Wednesday, so keep your eyes open for that!

Thanks for reading, I hope you've enjoyed finding out what I've been up to lately.

See you soon,

My Week in Pictures | 11.05.15-17.05.15

Hey guys,

I'm back with another MWIP. I feel like it's been a while, especially since I've not been posting on Wednesdays. However, exam season finishes on Wednesday and  I will be getting back on track with all my posts. 

I have so much in store for you guys, it's really hard to keep it all in. Some of it super exclusive so I can't put in this post until I finalise everything but boy, do I have some exciting stuff in store for you.

Let's get started.

If there's one thing I hate, it has to be flowers. Yes, they are aesthetically pleasing however, I've got hatfever. For those of you that don't know, hayfever and plants = my biggest nightmare. It's the constant sniffing, sneezing and watery eyes that just grinds my gears. So buying me flowers would not be a good idea.

That's why makeup is the way to my heart. You can never have too much makeup. Getting makeup as a gift is probably every beauty bloggers dream. More products to test and tell your readers about. So here's a subtle hint to anybody that would like to get me something; get me makeup. I love makeup. Please & thank you.

Alright. So since we're talking about things I love, I think it's time to make a confession. I'm addicted to nuggets. Super addicted. I could eat nuggets all day. Nuggets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

To my amazement, I was eating my meal and then when my meal was almost finished; I came across this beauty. How amazing is this? It's the thing I love in the shape that symbolises love. A heart shaped nugget, how amazing?! I wish I didn't have to eat it, it looked so good. It tasted so damn good.

I'm not going to bore you with anymore stuff about revision because I'm quite sure that you get it by now. And for those of you that don't know, I've been revising like crazy for the past 2/3 weeks.

So that's it for this week. I hope you've enjoyed reading this post and finding out about what I've been up to in the past week. 

I hope you all have an amazing week. 

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

My Week in Pictures | 04.05.15-10.05.15

Hey guys,

It's Monday, YASSSS. This post is extremely late because... well, it's exam season and I've literally been doing so much revision that I sometimes forget to eat. It's really bad, I know but your girls gotta get them grades boo.

I'm writing this in my revision break, so let's get started.

This is not the greatest picture ever and I apologise for such poor quality however me being me, this is the only picture I took before I cut open the packaging. So this will have to do. 

I mentioned in a previous post that I will be collaborating with Slendertox Tea and on Monday I received my package. I was sent their 14 day daytox and the 7 day sleeptox. I started the teatox on Tuesday and I am still on it. I will be doing a follow up post with images and more detail so I won't tell you too much but let me tell you this one thing. Do not brew the tea for longer than 5 minutes. I repeat, DO NOT BREW THE TEA FOR LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES. That's only if you don't want to spend the majority of your day rushing to the toilet or being stranded with a runny stomach due to brewing the tea too long. 

The 14 days are not over yet and I've already seen some amazing results. Keep an eye out for a post with more detail in the following weeks.

This is another super bad quality image. I honestly don't know what has got into me this week. This is my to do list for my History exam that is on Wednesday. As you can see, I still have a lot to do. I have covered more than the image shows. I must say that this is the exam I am most worried about but I believe that if I revise hard and smart enough; I will be able to answer all the questions on the paper to the best of my ability. 

Anyways, with that being said, I am going to get back to my history revision. I hope that you have enjoyed reading this post and finding out what I have been getting up to. I also wish everyone that is doing exams this season the best of luck. Remember to keep a positive mind and do the best that you can.

See you soon,

My Week in Pictures | 20.04.15-26.04.15

Hey guys,

How's your day going? I hope it's going great and if not, it's not too late to turn it around.

I've had such a busy exciting week. So let's get straight into it.

I've been wanting to rearrange my room for a very long time. My room is a decent size and I was looking for some ideas to help me with my office area. So I took to google to help find myself some inspiration. I came across some lovely looking offices and I definitely found the inspiration I needed. Here are a few:

On Saturday my family and I celebrated my brothers birthday and Baptism. It was a lovely fun-filled event with food, family, fun and games. My inner child was definitely unleashed. It was just fantastic. It was almost like a family reunion, there family members that I hadn't seen in years.

On Monday, I took part in the Bloggers Love Hub Twitter Party. We discussed the ways in which we would like companies to interact with bloggers/vloggers and similar issues as part of this, I will be collaborating with Sebamed and Slendertox Tea. Keep an eye out for a review on both companies.

That's it for today. I hope you've enjoyed this post. Remember to stay positive and enjoy the rest of your week.

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

My Week in Pictures | 13.04.15-19.04.15

Hey guys,

It's yet another late post from me. Today is Monday and it was my first day back at  college; so everything is very hectic. But let's get straight into today's #MWIP.

I'm not going to bore you with pictures of my revision notes but that's literally what I've been doing. So on Friday, I decided to do something different. Me and my little sister decided to take a trip down to Queensway and then to Oxford Circus.

Once we got to Queensway Station we got the Bus 70 down 3 stops. I have been wanting to pay a visit to the Guru Makeup Emporium and I wish I had gone sooner. The place is absolutely amazing, it's literally like a MAC store just with more brands to choose from which makes it 10 times more fabulous.

Another reason it's so fabulous is because they let you try the products in store, you can literally do a full face of make up without getting any hassle. The workers are extremely friendly and I will definitely be returning again.

After, we went back to the station and got a train to Oxford Circus. This is where I began my hunt for a BLUE dress for my brothers baptism. My mum loves everything to be co-ordinated and she just had to pick one of the hardest colours ever. I had searched 4/5 shops when I had lost hope. We went in to McDonalds to get something to eat and then we went to my favourite shop of all time. KIKO. 

If you know me, you know that I love KIKO to bits. They sell amazing products at amazing prices. OMG! The one in Oxford is massive. It even had a downstairs. The products are pretty much the same on both floors but it just means you don't have to wait as long just to get a good view of a product. I left the shop absolutely ecstatic.

On Sunday night, I was able to witness this beautiful sunset. One of the first I've seen in quite a long time. It was absolutely gorgeous. I hope to see many more sunsets this week.

That's it lovelies. I hope you all have a fabulous week. I have a surprise for you on Friday. Don't forget there will be a post up on Wednesday.

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

My Week in Pictures | 30.03.15-05.04.15

Hey guys,

It's Bank Holiday Monday. Easter's over and now it's time to put in the work. Like I said before it's Monday, so in this post you'll be finding out about the things I did last week.

Let's get started.

1) You've most likely seen someone wearing the Adidas Originals ZX Flux in some sort of colour; and if you haven't then, that's ok. As mentioned in my last #MWIP, I have extremely small feet which makes finding the shoes I want ten times harder; these trainers were no exception. I searched high and low, near and far but I still never came across a pair in size 3. It was when I had given up looking for them, that I found them. 

These are the most comfortable trainers that I have EVER had. I suggest you go out and get yourself a pair.

2) Also as mentioned in my last #MWIP, I was on work experience. What I didn't know was that I was going to end up at Barclays. I had such an amazing time and got to learn more about the company and law from a different perspective. Law isn't as boring as it may seem. My whole work experience gave me the drive to become a lawyer and work hard to achieve that goal.

3) As a beauty blogger, this is extremely shameful. I love applying makeup but I hate having to wash my brushes. I wish there was a product that could just do it for me. I literally don't remember the last time I washed my makeup brushes; yesterday was the first time in 4 weeks or so. That's just disgusting. But now that I've washed them, they feel incredibly soft and they look flawless. This picture is of my brushes before I washed them before I get questions about my definition of flawless.

That's it! I wish I could have taken more pictures during work experience but I signed a confidentiality agreement which means that I can't really disclose any information about it. I had an amazing week and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

I hope you all have a great week.

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

My Week in Pictures | 23.03.15-29.03.15

Hey guys,

It's the last Monday of March. This year is going way too quickly. My exams start in 6 weeks and the pressure is really starting to kick in.

I'm going to be adding some beauty related posts to my blog this week. I won't be turning it in to a series because I simply do not have enough time in the week to add an extra weekly series. These posts will be irregular but I will try my hardest to post at least 2 times a month in regards to beauty products.

I have an exciting week ahead, I start work experience at a top law firm today (Monday 30th March) and I'm looking forward to it. I've bought plenty of clothes so I should be doing some #OOTD posts on Instagram and possibly on my blog.

Enough about what I've got going on, let's see what I got up to last week.

1) As you guys know, I'm studying my A levels at the moment and exams start pretty soon. It is basically crunch time and I'm doing my best to keep on top of my work and do as much productive revision as possible.

2) As I mentioned earlier, I attended the Bloggers Love Fashion Week gifting lounge. It was a chance for bloggers, like myself; to network with companies and be gifted with products. A company called Kryptik Rose sent me the t-shirtI'm  wearing in the picture so I could wear it to the event. Unfortunately, it didn't arrive on time.

3) You're probably wondering what is so important about these pair of shoes, right? EVERYTHING. I have size 2.5/3 feet so when it comes to finding shoes I really struggle. I have been looking for a pair of loafers/loafer type shoes for a while but I never found any in my size. 

In preparation for my work experience, I resumed my search and I came across these beauties in a size 4. SIZE 4! I refused to accept that and checked the Topshop website for places that have them in my size. Long story short, I ended up going to Oxford Circus and I now own a pair of loafer-ish shoes. HOORAY.

That's roughly what I've been up to this week. Preparing for exams, preparing for work experience and networking. 

I hope you've enjoyed this post. Feel free to leave any ideas or suggestions in the comments section. I wish you all have an amazing week.

See you soon,

My Week in Pictures | 16.03.15-22.03.15

Hey guys,

I'm back with another #MWIP. I'm extremely sorry that this post is ridiculously late. I'm currently writing this at 22:40 GMT, which is something I'm absolutely ashamed of. Instead of wasting time rambling on, I'm going to get straight into it.

This is what I've been up to this week.

1) A while ago, I contacted an artist to help me recreate one of my pictures. On Friday, I received the final product and I must admit that I was absolutely gobsmacked. I fell in love instantly. It literally resembles the original and I couldn't be any happier. He charges £15, if you would like to get in contact with him; you can find him on Instagram at @camza_

2) On Friday night, I travelled up to Nottingham with my cheerleading for the ICC Nationals Cheerleading Competition. I must say it was a great experience. I met some wonderful people, saw some wonderful teams and got to spend some time doing the thing I love with the people I love. The picture you see is of the delicious Harvester breakfast I had. It has to be the most filling thing I've ever eaten; it's no wonder it's called the Harvester Big Breakfast.

3) I have been working on revamping my blog to make it a bit more personal and aesthetically pleasing. One step that I've done to achieve this is getting a new logo made. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I am incredibly picky so I kept asking for things to be amended, which made the process longer than I would have preferred. However, when you're paying for something it is important to ensure that you're 100% satisfied with the final result. Luckily, all my fussiness paid off and I'm 100% satisfied with my new logo. I'm yet to put this on my blog and I plan to use it on other blog related products.

So that's all the exciting stuff from last. What do you think of my new logo? Is there anything you would like to see on my blog? Anything you would like me to do during the week? Let me know in the comments section. 

Have a great week!

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

P.S;

This will be the last post that I ever upload at 23:50 GMT. This is extremely shameful.

My Week in Pictures | 09.03.15-15.03.15

Hey guys,

I'm back with another #MWIP. This has been one of my best weeks this year due to several personal reasons. But let's get straight to it.

1) Yesterday was Mother's Day and my nanny took us down to the pub for some lovely pub food. I thought that since I'm down the pub, I might aswell eat a Pub Classic; so I opted for Fish and Chips with Peas. Im literally obsessed wit fish, so I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. It was a delicious dinner with the people that I love.

2) Friday was payday, so on Saturday morning I decided to go and buy some new makeup. I ended up spending £50+ which is something I very rarely do but there isn't a single product that I regret buying. I will go into further detail about the products I bought in a separate post.

3) A few weeks ago I attended the Bloggers Love Fashion Week event l, in which I was able to network with a variety of brands. One of them was Madame LA LA, which is a tanning company that aims to give people an LA glow. They sent me their product to test out and I'm currently loving it. You're probably wondering why do I need to tan, especially since I'm dark skinned. However, I'll get in to that in my review post.

Alright guys, that's just a mere insight into what I got up to this week. I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Let me know down below if you like these sort of posts. I hope you have a great week.

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

My Week in Pictures | 23.02.15-01.03.15

Hi guys,

It's Monday, that means that I'm back with another #MWIP post. This weeks post is slightly shorter than I would have preferred but it's because I've been so unproductive. This is extremely shameful, especially since my exams start in 65 days. (Eeek, wish me luck!) 

Enough about me, let's get started.

1) This Saturday, I went to my sisters best friends 12th birthday dinner. After finishing our lovely Pizza Express meal, we said our goodbyes and headed out. 

Once we left the building we were met with heavy rain, luckily we had our umbrellas. My sister, her friend and I ran to the bus stop trying our best to stay dry whilst running through very strong winds. 

Before we even had the chance to get to the bus stop, the wind grew stronger and tore apart my pink umbrella. There was nothing that I could do besides throw my lovely umbrella in the bin.

2) During the week, I decided that it was about time I started playing with my toy. I was given the Canon 700D as a birthday present back in January but I have never actually recorded any videos with it. 

I must say that it is worth the price. It's quality is impeccable and I would like to say that it is beginner friendly.

So during the week, I recorded 2 videos which I plan to edit this week and release some time next week. Hopefully everything goes according to plan, then you'll be seeing my face on your screens.  I'm so excited to start a YouTube channel as I believe it will help me further improve my confidence and create a more intimate connection with all of my readers.

That's it for this weeks edition of #MWIP. What have you been up to? How's the weather in your country? Hope you enjoyed reading this post. Don't be afraid to comment below anything you'd like me to post about and give feedback. Also don't forget to follow to ensure you don't miss a single post

My Week in Pictures | 16.02.15-22.02.15

Hey guys,

It's Monday. And guess what that means? Im back with another #MWIP post. The last week was meant to consist of loads of hardcore revision but that obviously didn't happen.

Enough of my failed revision schedule, let's get started.

1) I feel like this quote is the best way to start the week. I was sent this in my motivational group chat and I felt the need to share it with you. Often, we give up because the process may seem too long and we haven't seen any progress. However, this quote assures us that progress will happen, we just won't be able to realise it straight away.

2) This is an outfit I created for the company Farfetch. I was asked to share their infographic with my lovely readers. Check my last post to see the other outfits I created.

3&4) On Saturday, my family and I went to my little cousins dedication and birthday party in Basildon. The pictures you see above are of the food that we were served. Overall, the food was alright; the chicken lacked seasoning and I absolutely hate vegetables. But on the bright side, the desert was delicious.

That's it for this weeks edition of #MWIP. What have you done this week? Have you been to any nice restaurants? What's your favourite quote at the moment? Hope you enjoyed this post. Don't be afraid to comment below anything you'd like me to post about and give feedback.

My Week in Pictures | 19.01.15-25.01.15

Hey guys,

So I'm back with another #MWIP. I know I've not been posting much this month but I've been really ill. I promise to post more often.

Now let's get started.

1) Last week my drama class and I went to the Donmar Theatre to watch City of Angels. I advise you all to go see it if you can. It is seriously amazing. Usually, i find musicals extremely cheesy but I couldn't take my eyes off the stage. I'm not going to spill the beans just incase any of you decide to go and watch it.

2) Hands up if you love High School Musical? I DO! Luckily enough for me, one of my favourites bird was on tv on my birthday. SO AWESOME! Call me a kid but I just love HSM, infact I love almost every Disney movie; Despicable Me being my favourite movie of all time!

3) For my birthday, my mum surprised me to a birthday dinner at my favourite restaurant. We went to Harvester and the picture you see is of the meal that I had. I know it's against my diet but it's still within my daily calorie allowance. The Original Combo meal consists of Ribs, Chicken, Chips and Salad. It's literally one of the most delicious meals ever!

4) Not only did my mum organise a surprise birthday dinner for me, she also made my birthday cake. This really touched me because I wasn't really expecting anything. She made me a plain sponge cake with red icing and the entire perimeter was covered in chocolate fingers. Cake and chocolate, yum. Talk about a double whammy!

This has to be my most exciting week of the year. Hope you enjoyed. Don't be afraid to comment below anything you'd like me to post about and give feedback. Also don't forget to follow to ensure you don't miss a single post.

See you soon,

P.S

I'm currently working on starting a Q&A segment and I would appreciate if you could send me your questions. It doesn't have to be beauty/fashion/lifestyle related. You could simply ask for advice.
