I also got a pair of Birkenstocks in pink! I haven't got much to say about them because my step dad bought them for me but I do really like them (mainly because they are pink!)

FASHION | OOTD
Summer is now in full swing and I must say its been full of good news; I passed my first year of university and I'm very happy with my grade, I finally got a job and after only working there 2 days I got some really good news from them, one of my flatmates wasn't going to live with us in second year due to being on placement but he has now changed his plans and will now be living with us for second year (MADHOUSE!) also I've got some really exciting things planned for my blog so all in all I'm a very happy girl.
If you've been reading my blog for a while you'd now I've had some issues with doing OOTD's and getting them up. Well, I have finally found a solution and that is getting my 8 year old brother to take them! I'm actually impressed and after taking today's OOTD he has now decided he wants to be photographer haha!

BEAUTY | BASIC EVERYDAY MAKE UP ROUTINE (SUMMER EDITION)
For the past few days in the UK temperatures have been getting as high as 31 degrees (which is very hot for us). I don't really want to be out in the heat wearing lots of make up so my routine is very different to my make up routine for cooler weather which you can read here.
I start of by putting a little bit of the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer under my eyes and I blend it using my finger. Personally, this is the perfect light concealer and when I have it on I don't feel like I'm wearing anything. I then fill in my eyebrows with Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in dark brown and then I clean it up with MAC Studio Finish Concealer in the shade NC45. In my tear duck I put a little bit of No7's eye shadow in Champagne and then I line my upper lids with Maybelline Gel Liner, depending on how I feel I might do a thin line or a really dramatic flick. I then pop on my eyelashes which I get from any Afro-Carribean hair shop and that's it. I have really oily skin and it gets extremely oily in the summer, especially on my T zone so I avoid putting make up on my forehead and my nose.

LIFE AS A STUDENT | FRESHERS WEEK
I've decided to do a series on a my blog called Life As A Student, where every Monday leading up to freshers week I will be doing advice posts for all freshers, students and anyone that wants to know really. You can read last week's one here, also I'd love it if you messaged me or commented and told me any university related topics you would like me to cover. Today I'm going to give you some tips for freshers week and along the way give you little snippets of my freshers week.
Try and arrive in the morning or mid-afternoon. Going out clubbing with people you only met a few hours ago is actually quite scary. Moving in in the evening whilst everyone is getting ready to go out may be an awkward experience. I was the first one to arrive and I spent about an hour walking up and down the corridor shouting ''Hello, is anyone here?!'' convinced that they were all hiding from me!
Leave your door open/Bring a door stop. This tip didn't really work for me because I was right at the end of a narrow so no one ever came near my door but I do know that it worked for some of my friends living at other halls.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to. You don't have to drink! Due to medical reasons I didn't drink during freshers; I still made friends though and I still went out. To be honest getting absolutely wasted everyday of the week isn't me anyway, if you're having fun I don't think anyone will notice you haven't drunk.
Go to your course inductions My course inductions were absolutely pointless and I really didn't need to go :) but being the great influence that I am, I encourage you to go to all of them.
Explore your new city. If your completely new to the city why not check it out during the day. I done this twice and realised what a beautiful city Nottingham is and I also got lost!
Freshers Flu. Now I didn't get freshers flu *woohoo* and neither did my flatmates but I have heard it makes you feel absolutely dreadful. Don't wait till you're too sick to get out of bed before buying antibiotics.
Go to Freshers Fair. How can you say no to freebies! Its also where you find out about societies so I would really recommend you go to freshers fair and join a society. If your too scared to go to trials/auditions or society meet and greets by yourself why not ask your flatmate if they can come with you.

Be nice. Not everyone has a loud personality, some people can be very shy and find it hard to make friends please please please don't leave anyone out. I really do feel sad when I see someone is with a group of people and they look left out. It won't kill you to ask them if they're alright, even if they're a complete stranger you can ask them if they wanna stick with you or hold their arm or hand whilst walking through the club.
