Introducing Drifting Rose Petal

Hi Guys!

As you may have already noticed I have changed my blog name...ooooooh controversial I know.

I felt like when I created PrettyLittleHighStreetFinds I didn't have much direction with what I wanted to do with my blog and how I wanted to attack this crazy world of blogging!

I feel like now, although I'm still sooooooo bad at posting regularly and maintaining my blog that I know what direction I would ideally like this blog to go in. I have recently bought a new laptop which by the way I am absolutely in love with! (It's an ASUS one and it looks like a mac book but a hell of a lot cheaper!! That's as technical as I get with it all i'm afraid)

I am still working on how best to tackle my Post Education series which I am so desperate to get published before September.

I think although I adore beauty and fashion and this blog post is still centred around my love for beauty blogging however I do think that my blog is going to become more of a lifestyle blog, I am better at writing about lifestyle things and I have more inspiration to create blogs based around life.

I also want to start a series called Thoughts for Thursdays. Which is my take on the lovely SprinkleOfGlitters Motivational Mondays.

So please stay tuned, i know this is again another update blog post but I wanted to update you all.

Thanks for reading, see you soon

Update...what's coming up?

Hi guys,

Opps yet again my blog has taken a MASSIVE backseat in my crazy life! I mean I haven't actually stopped in god knows how long!! But anyway, I just want to update you on what's to come on my blog in the next few months!

I really want to do a series on post 16 education and the post 18 education and the choices you have to face and I want to try and help you with those decisions the best I can. 

I have absolutely loads of blog posts I have started writing and never finished that I want to get completed and post. 

When I go away I'm hoping to do Los of blog post writing and hopefully some blog posts on what I'm taking with me. 

I'd also like to do a day in the life blog post.

And work desk essentials would be a fun one! I don't think there's enough cool posts about us working gals! 

That's all I can think of at the moment but ideally I would love to post all of these and get into a good routine with it all but you never know!!

Thanks for reading:)

Using my And

Hi Guys,

You should see the backlog of posts I have half written!! They will get to you at some point!

Earlier this week I tweeted about The Use your And campaign supported by Venus. Not only do they make the best razors apparently they support great campaigns such as this one. This was bought to my attention by many bloggers which I follow and I decided to really think about my 'ands' because I am more than what I seem, and so are you! This campaign is all about realising "one dimensional labels limit your potential" 

Your not meant to be one thing and one thing only, it's your life and you can be as many things as you wish, it's your life and you need to embrace everything which makes you you!

So here's mine!

I am a Daughter and a Sister. 

I am a Fraud Anaylst and a party girl.

I am hardworking and enjoy lazy days.

I'm an aspiring baker and blogger.

I like fashion and I like being individual.

I am a girlfriend and a best friend.

I am an explorer and a girly girl

I could probably think of a lot more things which I am but I'm going to leave it there. This week think about your 'ands' and let me know in the comments yours!! I love reading other peoples!

Here's the video which drives this campaign and it really warms my heart, it's only a minute long so please take the time to watch it.

Thanks for reading, have a great day!

Love,

The Perfect Staycation!

Hi Guys! 

This is a bit of a different blog post and I am super excited to see what you think.

A staycation? You may be asking, it's a word that was used ALOT in 2014! A staycation is a holiday within your own country. (Like a vacation but your not going abroad...just incase your still confused ) There was a lot of talk last year about exploring your own county and saving the environment by having a Staycation rather than jumping on an emissions fueled plane.

I'm not against going abroad at all, in fact I'm quite fond of it however I am trying to be more adventurous and explore the UK more this year too. 

The last weekend of January my boyfriend and I packed our bags and headed for a long weekend by the coast. More specifically, a weekend in the beautiful Bournemouth. 

The multi coloured beach huts all along the seafront. 

We got the train down on the Friday morning, I did take the day off work but hey, it's holiday and I'm entitled to so many days so why not! The train from London Waterloo cost me £30ish return which wasn't too bad at all.

We stayed in a Travelodge right by the seafront which was lovely! I love a great hotel experience as I really have a thing for hotels but I have a massive soft spot for Premier Inn's and Travelodges! They're affordable, great quality and really great for a weekend/long weekend away. We stayed in a large double room and it was lovely!! The bed was super comfy, the bathroom was nicely decorated and clean and the room provided us with everything that we could have possibly needed... Tea and Towels!! 

Whether you work full time or you are in Education book yourself and friends/family/boyfriend or girlfriend or even go on your own!! Just find one weekend this year to go for a long weekend by the coast! Sometimes I think it is exactly what you need, breaks everything up and chills us out!

One of my summer goals this year is to visit as many places in the UK as I can, it's actually a year goal rather than just a summer goal and I think. 

Why don't you try it too? You can even explore somewhere just for the day! When I was younger if the day was meant to be a hot one mum and dad would take us to the Isle of Wight for a day! 

There is so much to see in The UK and I really haven't seen that much of it in the grand scheme of things and I would love to change that! 

I'm going to leave links to the things I needed when booking my Bournemouth staycation and also some of the things we did and I would recommend! 

I am going to try and do a blog post about everywhere I visit in the UK this year, a. Review on the place and what I did! 

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed this blog post. Any places you think I would enjoy please leave me a comment!

Thanks,

A Lush Review - Unicorn Horn

Hi Guys!

Following on from my last blog post about Lush's Melting Marshmellow Moment Bath Melt (if you haven't already checked it out then please do!) I decided to tell you all about Unicorn Horn today, and I cannot explain how excited I was to use this and how excited I was to blog about it. It is just soooooooooooooo pretty!! 

Unicorn Horn is again from Lush's Valentines collection, I haven't been in since so some of the products unfortunately are a bit backdated that I will be telling you about. 

I really hope that now you understand my excitement! It is the most beautiful bath thing I have ever ever bought! 

Unicorn horn is actually a bubble bar, which means you pull chunks off or just run it under the hot tap and it creates bubbles, so you can get plenty of baths out of it! 

The colours in it are incredible and the colours run all the way through it. This bubble bar is great for if you need something to brighten up your bathroom and if your having a rubbish day it is sure to relax you and brighten up your life too! 

It leaves your skin feeling great and super soft which is lovely, and it turns your bath a beautiful pinky colour leaving behind trails of sparkles. 

The smell is not super strong again which I like but it smell is an acquired scent I think. It's a mix of Lavender and something very very sweet but somehow it works and I can't get enough of it. 

Although this was only part of our Valentines Collection here in the UK it was launched in Japan about a year ago do hopefully it comes back next year or just for a different occasion which would be ideal. 

Overall rating for this lush product is a definate 5/5. I cannot explain to you how much I love this beautiful bubble bar!

Thanks for reading. 

Any lush recommendations for me? I'd love to hear them!! 

Love

A Lush Review - Melting Marshmallow Moment

Hi guys, 

It's currently a very lazy Saturday morning and I decided that writing a blog post is what a very lazy Saturday morning entails to be perfect!

I feel like on my blog I haven't explained to you my love of all things Lush.

I ADORE Lush and all their weird and wonderful bath creations. I have a lush bag which hangs in my bathroom which I regularly refill with more and more pretty bath additives. (Ideally I want to get a cute wicker basket to put them in but that's just not practical in my bathroom) I have one rule in life... Never let the Lush bag get empty, you never know when you will be in desperate need of a great soak and without a Lush product, it just won't be a great soak. (This isn't up for discussion I'm putting my foot down and being stubborn!!) 

I have to admit though, I'm not very adventurous when it comes to Lush. I mainly stick to their middle table of goodies most of the time occasionally branching out to a bottled shower gel. (My favourite of course being the trusted Snow Fairy!!) 

But today, I want to talk to you about... *dramatic music would be appropriate*

Melting Marshmallow Moment - the bath melt from the Valentines Collection. 

I bought this thinking, meh we'll give it ago. I had a bath melt over Christmas and loved it so although this didn't have a distinctive smell and was almost pretty "boring" for lush but I bought it anyway. 

Oh how I was wrong, prejudging bath melts is bad!! This is possibly my favourite bath additive EVER!!! It is so suble with the smell, I mean it's almost snow fairy, watered down, with a tiny hint of marshmellow if you sniff hard enough. It doesn't whizz around or leave things in your bath but when you use it, it melts nicely leaving your skin feeling amazing and your bath smelling well...lush!

I think this one was £3.25 which isn't at all bad, I think that's why I love lush so much. It's all great value for money. I also think that with this one you could break it up and only use half/a quater and still have the same amazing bath just more left for another time. Although I just shoved it all in because I was feeling super reckless. 

So I think that is my first lush review done! I want to review all the lush products I buy so hopefully in the next few weeks you should get one lush review a week and if there is anything you want me to try out please leave a comment below. If you have any recommendations for me as well with lush products let me know, i would love to branch out to their other products just have absolutely no idea where to start!!!

Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed! Any comments please leave them below or message me on any social mediaaaa!

Love,

Happy New Year from Planet Emily!?

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year!! This is coming from planet Emily where apparently it has only just turned New Year...

I know, I know I have a lot of explaining to do!! After blogmas being the biggest fail in the history of all blogmas fails I lost a lot of motivation with my blog, which is super annoying!! December into January just flew by! I kept telling myself I must make some New Years resolutions and begin a fresh for 2015 and I have kept telling myself that because in my world it feels like it should still be the begining of January however it is actually the 9th Feb!! This year is just flying already!

So this is a massive Happy New Year from me to you!! How's your year been so far? Broken any New Years resolutions yet or have you been super good and kept them all?

I decided I wanted to try being vegan for a month, I did not realise how hard it was!! I am so determined to do a whole month at some point this year but I really need to be more organised because becoming vegan requires a lot of planning. I did two weeks of strict vegan and then cheese started to sneak back into my life, although even now I still don't eat a lot of meat compared to what I used to. So that's a challenge which I want to do at some point this year, but fully so expect maybe a vegan diary blog post collection, I feel like it would quite interesting? Let me know.

I've been to Bournemouth for a long weekend! Any of you who have been reading my blog for a while will know that I wanted to visit more places in the UK last year so this year I have carried that resolution over and so far so good! I would defo recommend Bournemouth! Super lovely.

I booked a holiday with my best friend to IBIZA! This isn't till July but I am so excited!! 149 days to go! 

So there you have it! Happy New Year to you and this is the end of my first blog post of 2015! It's been a little update really hasn't it? 

I've decided that I really want to make something of my blog this year so watch this space! Any blog post ideas or reviews you would like more to do please leave a comment below!

Thanks for reading!
