1. Sunflower Vans
The second i saw these shoes i knew i had to add them to my Vans collection. I can't get enough of the sunflower print, and although these are more of a summer type of shoe, i love wearing them during these colder months to brighten up the day.
2. Wild Pair Haul
One of my favourite clothing stores to shop at is Wild Pair, i buy 95% of my shoes there and i usually end up buying something whenever i stop by. Recently they had a massive warehouse sale where i only spent $100, saving myself about $500, on a pair of Windsor Smith chunky heels that i've been dying to get for a while, a leather skirt, a blue and black tartan sheer blouse, sleeveless blue and black tartan maxi dress, sheer flower print blouse, and a sunflower print playsuit. Warehouse sales are so good, definitely keep your eyes peeled for any around your area!
3. Inside Amy Schumer
The very first time i stumbled across Inside Amy Schumer was last year when i caught the season 2 finale on the Comedy Channel. It wasn't actually Amy who i saw first, but Bridget Everett singing 'What I Gotta Do' and i'm pretty sure i cried from laughing so much. I've been catching up on season 1 and 2 before i settle in to season 3 and i can't get enough of Amy.
4. The Walking Dead
I have Sophie to blame/thank for getting me back into The Walking Dead. I gave up on the show way back in episode 3 of the first season and hadn't gone back..until 2 weeks ago when i binge watched 5 seasons in a week, thanks Netflix, and now i own all four seasons on DVD ha! As a horror fan, i can't believe i let myself give up on it when it's a show that has zombies and lots of blood.
5. Growing Out Eyebrows
One of the best decisions i made back in march was to attempt to grow out my eyebrows. This of course means no, or very limited plucking. As someone who's guilty of over plucking this was super hard, because all i wanted to do was pluck. I have sparse brows to begin with so i didn't know if i would even get much growth and over plucking didn't help, but now i am finally seeing a difference and i actually have ends to my brows now. I wasn't blessed with amazing thick brows but at least now i don't have to be self conscious about them when i don't have time to fill them in!

1. Finishing Uni/Assignments
May 7th saw me hand in my last ever piece of work for university, and it was probably my most stressful assignment to date! A 24hr exam where 2x 1,500 word essays on Games Research had to be written with full Harvard APA referencing... I'll admit right now I did have a slight breakdown at 11am the morning of the hand in as my mind had pulled a complete blank on what it was meant to do. It was a surreal feeling uploading the work.. I kinda wished that, that wasn't the last piece of work as I felt far too stressed and tired to appreciate it.
2. Nick Jonas
As a Jonas Brothers fan, I'm happy to see Nick back on the music scene. I literally can't get enough of his song Jealous (especially the remix with Tinashe- see tomorrow's Monthly Playlist), and Sage the Gemini has released a song featuring him which has been on my playlist a lot as well! (Which again check out the playlist tomorrow to hear it), plus Nick has blossomed into a seriously good looking young man... (dem muscles ples).
3. Juice Plus Shakes
Over Easter break I enquired to a friend/work colleague about Juice Plus which is like protein/shake diet/lifestyle change, she's been promoting. As someone who would like to lose weight I was curious about it and so I thought i'd check it out. I've been on it for a month and I have to say i'm noticing a slight difference. I haven't had the chance to exercise as much as I wanted to as I've been dealing with some personal issues but as a non breakfast eater anyway the shakes a perfect for me as they're simple to make and easy to drink.
4. Sleeping
After having an intense start to the last term, with handing my dissertation in, then having a 2,000 word essay due and then a 24hr exam all in the same of two weeks, my sleep was very deprived. So it's been nice getting to sleep in on the days i'm not working. It's also just been great to have those really lazy duvet days haha.
5. Tattoos
The month of may saw the start of my half sleeve tattoo. I've had two session so far (one for the outline and one for the first part of colouring) and I couldn't be happier with it. Once it's all done i may do a post on tattoos or maybe a video?
If any of our readers are from the UK or London more specifically check out
Inksmiths of London! That's where I get tattooed and you couldn't ask for a lovelier bunch of people. (My tattoo artist is
Christine Davey)
What have been some of your favourite things this month?
