March Favourites

Favourites, favourites, favourites - it's another one of those posts! My favourites things I have been LOVING this month - aka March!

Now I know this is mainly a beauty blog but as always they'll be a few extra's thrown in there - like to keep you on your toes don't I!

First up Simple's Shower Gel! I have been having trouble with dry and irritated skin lately and I thought maybe the highly perfumed shower products (aka soap and glory) I had been using may have had something to do with it so I may the choice to try out a more 'simple' shower gel!

This has made a great difference, my skin seems to feel alot better and I'm going to keep on using this for now - especially as it is discounted in Boots at the moment to about £1.30 - time to stock up!

I did a whole post on this perfume nearly 2 months ago now - and I am still LOVING it! It is Vivienne Westwood Cheeky Alice! This is my go-to perfume every morning at the moment, it is such a great everyday scent! (My full review is here.)

Now who isn't obsessed with Cocoa Butter?! Palmers is a brand I have used and I recently picked up their snazzy lip balm! This stuff has been a total lifesaver the last few weeks for me - with the drastic changes in weather and works air-con/heating my lips have been getting so sore and chapped and this has been seeing my through and helping me avoid that horrific "trip-lip" (as I like to call it)!

Not only does it keep my lips hydrated and smooth whilst prevented chappedness but it also smells yummy and keeps my lip a gorgeous shine! I've already bought another one for when this runs out!

Next up is my Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream. I bought this back at Christmas in the half price sale and up until the beginning of March it had kind of been sitting in the corner! 

But I have told myself I need to moisturise this face alot more - especially at night so this has been my go-to product before I hit the hay at night! It smells lovely and fresh, isn't greasy and keep my skin feeling hydrated and plump - this stuff is yet again another barry bargain!

Ru Paul's Drag Race. 
Holy moly I have been addicted to this show! This past month or so I have watched ALL 5 seasons on Netflix.... yes I wasn't kidding when I said I was addicted! (I need to watch Season 6 asap!) This is like my dream show, like America's Next Top Model but for drag queens - ahhhh my god it's SO good! These guys are hotter girls than I'll ever be - and they are hilarious! 
Fav seasons have to be 4 and 5! I LOVE Sharon Needles, Wilam, Alaska, Detox, Jinyx Monsoon!

The Pretty Reckless - Going To Hell. I have been waiting for this album for MONTHS! You all know that TPR are my fav band so of course I have't been dissapointed! Amazing band, amazing album - I HAVE to go and see them at the IOW Festival!!

So there's another month's favourites for you guys - I feel like it's a bit thin on the ground this month so I apologise for that - being on a spending ban means alot less buying and trying new things (sad face).

Kirstie's Travel Diaries #16 : San Fran Shopping & The Pretty Reckless Gig

Catch up with #15 here.

Day 16 (15/03/12)

Our first full day in San Francisco and unfortunately the weather was not in our favour (some of these photos were taken on other days, who wants to get their camera out in a down pour?!)
With an exciting evening ahead of us (keep reading) we thought a chilled day out exploring our surroundings and checking out the mounds of shops around us was a fab idea!


The night before we had mainly been looking for food outlets so fashion, beauty and other exciting things hadn't really caught our eye - so today when we actually saw what we were living by we couldn't believe it!
We headed out from our hotel and popped into the H&M which was just a few doors down - I swear H&M is always exactly the same no matter where you are in the world the stock is exactly the same!
Furthur down the hill we found an incredible Forever 21 store - it was literally 3 or 4 stories high - so beautiful!
Then over the road to Westfields! Yup it's not the England that has those, there is one in San Fran too and it is bloomin' well awesome!

This mall had everything and I mean everything! I could have spent days and millions in here - loves it!
As we were strolling round one of the department stores we got into a conversation with some of the workers who told us that BRITNEY had been in there just a few days before - I cannot believe we missed her by just a few hours!!

A place I fell totally in love in Westfield's was - Yoppi! A DIY frozen yogurt place - I am dead serious when I say I was full-on addicted to fro-yo! Some many flavours to choose from and incredible selection of toppings, yum!

The one thing I didn't like about shopping in the mall was the amount of people trying to sell you stuff - ahhh leave me alone! Although a woman sitting my friend down and starting to straighten her hair did make me laugh.... alot.

Daytime coming to an end we decided to head back to our hotel and get ready because - we were off to see The Pretty Reckless!

A couple of months previous when we were back in England, they had announced their tour and the fact they were playing in San Fran the day after we got there was just fate so my friend bought me tickets for my 22nd birthday (what a babe!) and we had been so excited for it ever since!

Now the day was here, so I headed to the off lincense - got some vodka and we headed back to our room to get ready!

 Back at the room we had the genius idea of ordering Dominos to our hotel via their website - and yes it worked and it was amazing! (we were turning into pro hotel regulars!)

Ready - we called a taxi and were on our way to the Bottom Of The Hill club! It wasn't that far away and we were a little nervous as we weren't sure what to expect - but I was so excited it wasn't long before I didn't care where we were and we were in the queue outside chatting away to everyone!

There were a few support acts (who of course we had never heard of) and then it was time for Taylor and her guys to hit the stage! The club was super small - so we had an amazing view - I loved how intimate it was in there!

The were amazing - and my love for them grew even more! I felt so lucky to have seen them live and so close aswell - best birthday present ever!

Now we were exhausted so it was time to call a taxi home (after going outside to spot Taylor strolling upstairs after a smoke of course!) - we had a seriously early morning so it we went back to our hotel, ate the leftover pizza and hit the hay!

NEXT TIME : Tour of San Fran, The Golden Gate Bridge & Alcatraz!
