making choices for you

I've never been one to love the whole education environment, not because I was incapable of learning or that I was unintelligent but because I got so bored of having to sit in a room having someone talk at me for hours on end, I just wanted to go and actually DO. I think some of this frustration may have come from the fact everyone was made to learn things at school that you would never use in day to day life, I'm sure you've all heard the line about being so bloody happy knowing how to use Pythagoras theorem but having no fricking clue how to manage your finances or to even how to write an appealing CV.

Easy as 1, 2, 3...*

I've always loved Clinique as brand, whether it's because their products were the first I stole from my mum's draw at a young age or just because the quality of their products is so damn good. So when I had the opportunity to try out their 3 step range I obviously wasn't going to pass up, the routine consists of a liquid facial soap, a clarifying lotion and then a moisturiser in either a lotion, cream or gel formula depending on your skin type.

I decided to make it my goal this year to try to go abroad to at least 3 different places, I am awful when it comes to impulse buying which then evidently leaves me with not a huge budget to plan to go away with. But this is all changing and a savings account has been created, hello yes I'm adulting.

Last month I visited Madrid, the city is beyond beautiful. You only have to stray a few streets away from the centre to find hidden wonders, houses of every colour under the sun, bars tucked away in corners, it's definitely a city made for exploring.
