Update on my life - August 2013

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well, sorry again for the late post been a bit crazy. This blog is going to be a very different one for me, as this is going to be telling you guys what has been happening since my last blog. So hope you enjoy, oh and I have a twitter account now set up for my blog site it's @fran_helsing, so feel free to talk to me on there if you want :)

Anyway down to business, firstly I got into university which I start in September so in last than a month now. Was so nervous when I got the letter through I started crying when I read the words "confirmed place at Southampton Solent." I tried to get into university for about 1 year and to finally get it, it was like "oh my god, I've done it". I have dyslexia too which I know shouldn't be an excuse but I'm not going to lie A-levels are very very hard. This is why I completely understand what people younger than me are going through. So yeah I guess at the moment I am excited to meet people and get started on the course which is Psychology (Counselling). However, I am nervous what if people don't like me which I know sounds silly and stupid but when people meet me I'm quite shy. I look forward to university though as I have friends who are in their second and third year at that university already so I should be okay anyway :)

Another thing I have been sorting out is my gaming and stuff. As some of you are aware I did a blog about my history of gaming (http://franhelsing.blogspot.co.uk/) which I stated that I am considering getting an x-box 360 or a Playstation 3. I gave it some thought and I decided to go with an x-box 360 as there are some great deals on at the moment and I'm use to the controller. So soon hopefully I'll be doing game reviews and giveaways if I get enough views.

In addition, I have some sad news. As a result of me getting into university. I've been saving up like mad to buy my own stuff. So I'm not buying much make up and clothes till end of September time. So there isn't going to be much in terms of blog material. This is why I'm going to ask you to comment on here or twitter me and tell me anything you want me to do. It can be anything like a room tour both uni room and my family home bedroom, cooking blogs or do outfits of the day. I am also considering that in 2014. I might start a Youtube Channel which I have been wanting to do for a year now. What do you guys think? 

So that's an update on my life, I hope that is okay for the moment. Sorry for the lack of blogs, I'll promise to do more I promise past September time. Please share this link too, that would be amazing.

Love you all,

Fran Helsing! x

My favorites of July 2013

Hi Everyone,


Me again, i hope you are all well and enjoying the weather :) This is my favourite of July. First of all, where the hell has this year gone?! This is crazy soon it would be end of summer and then Christmas.........Not good! Well it is, but you know what I mean (hopefully). Before I start, I just want to say I'm not being paid for mentioning these products or people, I got the products with my own money which I have earn through work. Anyway, enjoy this Blog :)

Skin Care:-

I have two skin care favourites of July. The first one is the Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter1, the reason I love this product is because one is smells amazing (I love the smell of strawberries) and two it really helps add moisturiser to my upper arms and thighs so yeah really love it, would get this product again when it runs out. The second is the Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub Body Exfoliator, I love the sugar crush version of this product, this is such a lovely product as it smells like pancakes which I love :) it does the same job as the sugar crush but I prefer the sugar crush version of this product but I really do love them both.


Make - Up:-

Face: I have been looking for a moisturiser which has SPF as none of my foundations do that are suitable for this type of hot weather anyway. So I went to Superdrug and got the Garnier Moisture Match Protect & Glow for normal Skin with SPF 20 it comes in a yellow bottle type thing. I love this product was it helps protect my skin from the Sun which is always a bonus but when I put make up on it looks great.
Eyes: It has to be the Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow in And On Bronze. I love this product, it is so easy to put on if your in a hurry in the mornings. I normally use my index finger to able on my eyelids and put a bit of mascara on and I'm good to go with my eyes. So Yeah! Been loving this product a lot this month and would consider buying more from that range.

Bourjois, Colour Boost in 04 Peach on the Beach

Lips: I've been loving the Bourjois, Colour Boost in 04 Peach on the Beach. This is like a coral pink (Shown in picture), it's not really clear in the picture but it is quite shiny and adds a bit of colour to my lips when I'm off out on a date night or meeting up with friends.

 Nails:

For my nails I have been loving Big Spender by Essie which is a beautiful deep pink colour which some of you might not be like it's not a summer colour. Your right it's not but it allows to suit two different proposes, it is suitable for day and night time and I don't have time to change my nail vanish everyday so I went for it and it stayed for about 5+ which doesn't happen with me and other nail varnish as it chips after a few days. 

Another nail product I've been loving in July is the Magic Nail Polish remover (1 second) by Bourjois. I got this product because of the 3 for 2 in Boots. I can not speak highly enough about this product it is great if your in a hurry and want to do your nails quick or don't like making a mess by using loves of cotton buds or cue tips trying to remove all the nail polish off one nail. I can see my using this product for the rest of my life (that's how much I love this product).

Drink/ Food:-

I have not done this section of my Blog before but i have been loving the Boots Shapers Still Cranberry and Apple Drink. I am a nightmare for drinking water and I'm not a lover of it i only drink it when at the gym which is bad i know. Anyway I was thirsty and in Boots and I picked this up and I as soon a i drunk some I was like "OH MY GOD" I really liked the taste and was really hydrated just by a couple of mouth falls. It has 37 calories which is more better than most fizzy drinks so if I can I get this drink instead of getting a fizzy drink. 

In terms of food been loving the restaurant Nandos. For those who don't know what Nando' is, it's a Nando's is a South African casual dining restaurant group originating from the Mozambican–Portuguese community with a Portuguese theme. Or As I say, A posh and healthier version of KFC :P haha. Anyway, I love going there because the staff as so lovely and helpful. I have never had a bad meal there was is good, I think in July allow I have been 3-4 time maybe but yeah if you haven't been; Go To One! You'll love it :)

Movie:

in terms of film, The one I've been loving was Lawless with Tom Hardy. I am a Tom Hardy fan. The story is about three brothers and how they go about selling and making of moonshine when it was illegal to do so at them. I have to say this the evil detective/cop played by Guy Pearce, I was SO HAPPY when he died! I was a Asshole! Really well played though. All the cast did well as their characters especially when story of this film is based on a real life story. This film is good, I didn't feel bored at any point, good story line. There was a lot of blood and stuff in the film which was okay but if you are not into those types of film then. Overall, I would give this film a 9/10.



Moment:

Finally, my favourite moment of this month, has to be going to Brighton on holiday with my boyfriend. We went away for about 2 nights just the two of us which was lovely but spend a total of 2 extra days together, which was nice as we don't normally spend that much time together as we both work. Yeah Brighton is a really lovely sea-side town in England, We did a lot of walking but the hotel we stayed at The Thistle is so lovely, and really helpful. The room with no view costed us about £109 each so the total was £218 but that included gym and swimming pool :) Yeah was just really chilled, had chips on the sea front, went to sea life centre, had breakfast in an American diner type place. The funny moment about this holiday was the fire alarm going at 6AM and my boyfriend being like come on "let's go" and  I'm like "I'm in shorts I need to change!" :P luckily we were not outside for too long in the cold and we just went back to bed afterwards :) haha.


That's everything I think, I hope you have enjoyed this blog and write down in the comments what your favourite moment of July was :)

Seeya Seen,

Love,

Fran Helsing! x
