Crop Top outfit!

So we were going out in search of a club in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and ended up going to a really expensive club where Martin Solveigwas dj-ing. It was AMAZING! 
Here's what I wore, I got a new crop top for holidays. It was only £10 or less (can't remember) as I caught it in the sale- do love a good bargain! However, I wish I had took a full pitcure of my outfit, as I wore cute little sandals from H&M and my shorts are Levi's.

High waisted shorts that I bought off ebay for so cheap! I cut a couple inches off them & frayed them abit. They sit comfortably as they're one size bigger so the belly fat doesn't go over an ill fitting waist!


I wore a light orange shirt with my outfit for walking about outside until we found a club.

The best (decent enough) picture of me that I could find from the club.


Holidays 2012. Part one: Split, Croatia

Me and my boyfriend decided to go away for a week & a half to Croatia with a trip in the middle to Bosnia. I had the best time and was glad there was no quarrels (only when trying to be the navigator; we're both rather stubborn ha).

First day in Split, Croatia

The Riva (Promenade) to the right
Had brunch in the heart of the Diocletian's Palace, it was amazing to have lovely historical remains around us.

Got to try the yummy black cuttlefish Risotto


At the Bacvice beach
Shopping


Our cute balcony!
Cheap watermelon (about 2 pounds?) amazing!

Took a day trip to Brac island from Split. Wanted to go to Hvar but sadly there were no more tickets left :(. Brac was not as populated nor touristy so it was peaceful!
Yup we went into the sea to cool off & swim!




Last night in Split before going to Mostar & Sarajevo!! Quite like my outfit here :)




The best things about Split was:
1. the ice-cream (some amazing flavours!!) 
2. cocktails. I fell in love with Mai Tai <3 
3. food (I love fish!) 
4. warm weather but sometimes it was too hot! Can be sorted by going into the sea though!

Don't know if I would go back but I certainly would visit Zagreb (the capital & largest city of Croatia), also I would go back to visit Hvar for the clubs as I never got to :(. 
Look for my other post on Croatia & Dubrovnik :)

My night time routine!

First thing to take any makeup off:
*Superdrug Vitamin E skin care range- hot cloth cleanser. (Only sometimes use the hot cloth).

Followed by:
*Simple- clear skin oil balancing facial scrub
*Simple- pore minimising toning cleanser
*Body shop- seaweed clarifying night treatment
*Talika- eyebrow lipocils, eyebrow conditioning gel
*For any acne: Superdrugs: deep action anti-blemish gel

I swear by vitamin E products! Vitamin E is a powerful antioxident that protects skin against free environmental damage and premature aging by combating against free radicals. -Im all about combating free radicals (after learning about all the harmful effects from Home Economics at school). This product smells lovely & is moisturising!


I like Simple products because it has no perfume, colour or harsh chemicals to upset skin. This is my third tube of this stuff & is a gentle exfoliater containing witch hazel antibacterial so all good.


Gotta have a toner! It rids any last bit of make-up & this toner contains vitamins & minimises pores. 


I use this as a kind of moisturiser for sleeping- if my skin feels real dry I just use a simple vitamin E moisturiser. This is pretty expensive (like £12 in body shop I think) but I love it! This is my second bottle of it- it lasts for ages! Its a serum that feels light & lovely. It helps clarify oily/combination skin & I feel it helps my pores to produce less oil so in the mornings I feel fresh!





I started using this about 2 months ago now as I wanted to grow more & thicker eyebrows as mine were quite sparse and I couldn't get much of an arch without filling in gaps using my eyebrow set. This has worked to some extent I feel. Certainly I have grown more hairs & I feel that my hairs are alot thicker, so yey :) However this was quite expensive & from france :P ..it's got a cute mirror though!






If I ever have any acne- most times i just let my skin breathe abit more at night time rather than loading products over my spots. However if I have a big one coming & I feel I want to stop it, or make it go away quicker, I use this. Its a simple product from Superdrug- only £2-£3 and lasts for quite a while :)

So there ya go. My night time routine is quite established. Ask my pal Melissa, she knows the drill! :)
 


First post :)

Sure hello! First blog yeo!
Just starting this new blog so heres a few words about me...Im joanne from Ireland, my parents are from Hong Kong & for the past 2 years I have been living & studying in Scotland!

Ive decided to create a blog cos its summer (altho not having much of a summer in Glasgow..rain rain rain!) and Im stuck inside the flat most days bored & you know when you don't get out of your pjs early enough in the day so theres no point in getting ready for trying to start a productive day?- cos you're only going to go back into them ready for bed?- You end up slumming it the WHOLE day watchin daytime telly & refreshing facebook. So I wanted to make something productive cos Ive had one (or two) blogs beofre and I never really get into it, or found time to post things. Hopefully I can learn new things from other blogs & share what little things come from my life!

Anyways, mostly I will go on about..beauty, health, fooooood, pets, travel, random ponders & thoughts. Just little things around my daily life!

..hope u enjoy!



Hello!

You've got me on a good day cos I'm actually wearing decent clothes but no make-up :) time for pjs soon  I think!!
