April Photo Diary

Afternoon tea @ Bills for Mothers Day // Girls night out // Selfie // waffles at Westfield // minty fresh nails // another Afternoon Tea at our spa hotel // love a Strawberry Daiquiri // A little chocolate bunny from my boy // So excited when this arrived! // Byron burger before McBusted! // 2for1 cocktails in the O2 lounge before McBusted // obviously bought a t shirt... // buzzing // Me & Cat before McBusted! // selfie // scrounging for a cuppa.

What a month it has been. Omg. I've had such a good April. The beginning of April saw Scott return from Miami with his friends so I was very happy to have him back. However, he has realised he basically wants to live in America so we are about to book to go to New York next year because he wants to explore everywhere! Easter Weekend me & my mother went away to a spa weekend which I have done a whole other blog post on (you can read all about it here) but it was so lovely to get away for the weekend and proper relax! The weekend just gone I went to see McBusted with my boyfriend, Cat, and her boyfriend - omg best night of my whole entire life! It was just incredible, we had pretty rubbish seats (we were right up in the rafters) but it didn't even matter because the atmosphere was amazing and everyone was up dancing. I pretty much filmed every song so now I'm struggling for space on my iPhone but it was so worth it. If you're going you are in for a treat! 

Lots of love,

March Photo Diary

My 'giving up chocolate for lent' lasted 3 hours! // selfie // Costa catch up with Cat // Love a Boots 3for2 offer // I bought myself a new car!! :) // Wagamamas night with the girls // Me & my boy in o2 VIP lounge before Drake // Drake!! // Me & my boy out for dinner on my birthday // Nails // Birthday OOTD // Afternoon Tea for Mothers Day

Apologies that this is going up a week into April but I have been so busy working lately I have just had no time whatsoever to blog which is annoying! March was a very good month, mainly because my birthday is the 25th :) I basically bought myself a new car for my birthday which I absolutely love driving! I am just waiting to get my log book back & I can put my personalized plates on! I also went to see Drake with my boyfriend and a couple of our friends. It was such an amazing night and we was all very drunk!! I celebrated my birthday last Saturday night with some of my best friends, we went out  in Camden & again I got far too drunk & kept falling over!! Was very fun though :) Last Sunday me & mum went to Bills in Chiswick for Afternoon Tea, you can read all about that here. 

Hope you've had a lovely weekend!

February Photo Diary

OOTE // girls // the most amazing waffle ever... // ...and the nicest chocolate milkshake // roses from my boy on Valentines day <3 // make up for valentines meal // afternoon tea // girls // Loughborough OOTE // nails

February saw me quit my job, get a new job and get my old job back all in the space of 2 weeks... lets just say sometimes big & popular companies aren't that great to work for & I am much, much happier back where i was :). I had a couple of outings. One for my friends cousin who was up from Brighton so we all decided to go out which is the first two pictures! Secondly, I went to an amazing pancake/waffle/burger/cocktail house in Potters Bar called Pottys Pancakes; if you have never been and you are from around that area... GO! It is literally amazing. I am hoping to go back soon for a burger, a cocktail, and another waffle! On Valentines day I was surprised with a big bunch of roses delivered to my house from my boyfriend; roses are my absolute favourite and I love that he always gets me roses :) We went to an amazing steak restaurant in Leicester Square called Steak & Co. It was so romantic & we was going to stay out and have a few drinks but the weather was absolutely atrocious on Valentines day so unfortunately we came straight home, but it was a lovely evening! :) The day after Valentines day two of my friends held an Afternoon Tea Valentines day inspired theme and it was really nice to all catch up, drink tea and eat lots of rubbish! Two of my friends both turned 22 in the space of a couple of weeks so last weekend we piled in two cars and drove up to Loughborough for the weekend! It was such a fun weekend & Loughborough is seriously a good night out. In the day we went shopping in Leicester which was only about half an hour away and we got some lunch & just chilled. It was so nice for us all to get away and spend an actual weekend together because we never do anything like that :)

Lots of love,

I had such an amazing time last weekend at my Dad's surprise 60th birthday, he had no idea and was very surprised!! It was nice to spend time with my sisters & brother-in-law's as I don't get to see them much so it was good to all have a drink & catch up! I have just finished watching X Factor and OH MY GOD I am so happy Luke is through! Tamera was starting to just be a bit meh & Luke's voice is amazing, I definitely think hes going to be in the final! Anyways, I am probably off to bed now as I get up at the crack of dawn for work so hope you've all had a good weekend :) & I hope you have a good week.

Haven't managed a photo diary since I've been back from holiday so here is a mix of all my favourite pics from the month of September & October. Not a lot has happened because I was on holiday at the end of September through to the beginning of October. (you can see all my holiday pictures here)  

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC PHOTO DIARY

Yesterday morning I arrived home from the loveliest holiday ever with my boyfriend, Scott. I am super super jet lagged right now so normal blogging will commence in a few days! If you're reading this congratulations because that's a lot of pictures up there! I just wanted to include some of my favorites from holiday. My best bits include swimming with the dolphins photographed and visiting Paradise Island - a sand bank in the middle of the ocean which you can sunbathe on or snorkel around! We both snorkeled round and it was such a good day; the tropical fish were unbelievable! We were very sad to come home but I definitely missed my bed; which I will be going to shortly. So for now I will say goodbye. Adios amigos!

Photo Diary #12

 

This week I ate pie & mash; yummy <3 // enjoyed an Oreo Krushem // selfie // drunk on milk // my new case from Etsy finally came! // selfie // taking a break from studying // my winnings from roulette night!

 

So this week I've been a bit distant, the boyfriend has family over from Australia so my last week has been spent round his house nearly every night. I do have a few posts planned so I should be back into schedule soon! But I can't help sometimes feel that I have no motivation to blog; I know everyone must go through it but I don't know how to get over it? Anyways, its been quite a quiet week, not much done except spending time with the boyfriend and his family, I went to the pub on Thursday night to celebrate a friends birthday which was a nice chilled evening. On Friday night I played roulette for the first time round my boyfriends and won big time! It was such a good night and plenty of alcohol was drunk haha. Yesterday we had a BBQ party with all of his family round which was a lovely day, again many vodkas were had and it was so nice to have the sun shining all day!

 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend and are enjoying you're bank holiday! I'm off to work soon :(

Photo Diary #11

 

I don't usually buy Company magazine but couldn't resist the eyeliner freebie! // pastel nails // anniversary flowers from the boyfriend // anniversary make up // cheesy nacho goodness // haagen dazs ice cream for dessert // love a rainbow // mirror selfie // 99 flake without the flake... chocolate sauce & sprinkles <3

 

I've been a bit quiet this week, not really feeling the urge to blog much so if someone can give me some advice in how to get over this hurdle I will appreciate it! So, Tuesday of last week was mine & my boyfriends 6 year anniversary! We decided to head into London (Leicester Square) and go to the steak house because lets be honest, everyone loves a steak house! I don't actually eat steak so I had chicken but it was still delicious. Once we had eaten we took a wonder around Leicester Square; had a bit of a mooch into m&m world and got some haagen dazs ice cream which was so delicious! We then stopped to see some street performers, they were break dancers and when they were introducing themselves at the beginning and asking people to give donations at the end we thought they would be really crap, however they were amazing! They had such talent, spinning on their head and all sorts of madness!

Ive also been keeping up to date with the #augustphotochallenge so if you would like to follow me on instagram please do so; @jessicullxo

 

Hope you've all had a pleasant weekend :)

Photo Diary #10

This week I celebrated my uncles birthday (last weekend, actually) with some family // went to my dads for dinner & had strawberries & ice cream for dessert, nom // went bowling with my boyfriend & some friends // finally got my upgrade! // selfie // enjoyed a cupcake & milkshake in Brent Cross with my mum.

 

I haven't really had an eventful week. The picture of me, my boyfriend & my dad was actually taken last Saturday but it wasn't included in my last photo diary so thought id put it into this one, I think its such a lovely picture :) Wednesday night I went out bowling, it was really fun but I lost, boo! We did actually go out to Top Golf but the waiting time was ridiculous so we decided on bowling instead! I fiiinally got my upgrade, ive been waiting months because my iPhone 4 was just crap and falling apart but I am completely in love with my new phone, its so pretty. Yesterday I went over to Brent Cross with my mum as I had a bracelet I got for my birthday which I needed to change for a smaller size, turns out they didn't have that bracelet so instead they sent it off for me to be shortened. As we were leaving we spotted a pop up Lola's cupcakes stand and decided to have a cupcake & a drink. The oreo cupcake was delicious; the milkshake not so much... which was disappointing but we had a nice wander round.

 

Hope you've all enjoyed your weekend & I'm so happy the sun has got his hat on after a cloudy couple of days in the week!

Photo Diary #9

 

Went to TGIs with the work girls // popcorn brownie & oreo desserts // koppaberg is the perfect sunshine drink // fish // ootd // garden jenga // my bestest buds // laying in bed next to my sicky boyfriend :( // scrambled eggs - perfect Sunday food <3

 

I haven't really had an exciting week, the beginning of the week saw one of my bestest friends at work leave us for a better job so we said goodbye to her at TGI's with loooads of food & yummy desserts. I cant remember what day it was that decided to randomly be 30 degrees but I headed straight to the pub after work with some friends; as I was the designated driver I made 1 koppaberg last and it was delicious. Ive been taking part in the #AugustPhotoChallenge on Instagram so the picture of my fish & the collage of my friends are part of that. If you want to see if I can continue through the whole month follow me on Instagram @jessicullxo

Yesterday it was my uncles 60th birthday so I put on my party dress and headed over to Aylesbury where it absolutely hammered it down with rain as soon as we arrived, there was a BBQ, kids running around, funny chats with my cousin & boyfriend, and GARDEN JENGA - amazing!

 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend :)

So, mostly of these pictures are from this weekend but ive had such a busy one I decided to include them in a Photo Diary! I had Friday off work as me & Scott were going to Zoo Lates at London Zoo - I wont go into too much detail about that because im going to post all the pictures & what we did in a separate post; but it was such a good evening! Friday morning I decided to get my hair died & cut again, I wanted to treat myself and im so happy because im loving the colour :). I also went to a baby shower on Saturday for one of my friends' friends and it was such a lovely day, the weather thankfully held out until we decided to call it a day and bring all the sweets & lemonade inside! I then had a leaving do on Saturday evening for my friend Claire whose last day at work is tomorrow! Gonna be so emosh haha there was already some tears today! But tomorrow night after work were all going out for a meal and hopefully it wont be goodbye forever!

 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Photo Diary #7

Monday morning selfie with a plait in my hair // coral & gold combo on my nails // managed to nab a feast from the ice cream man! // finally went to see World War Z with my boyfriend & some friends // selfie // me & my boy // costas peach iced lemonade are delish in this weather // in love with this mint green colour // went to Kent to celebrate my friend Hannah's 21st!

Well I almost forgot to post this photo diary! Finished my post all about my weekend in Kent, shut my laptop down and began catching up on unread posts on Bloglovin' then thought 'OMG I need to do a Photo Diary!' haha. I feel like the last two weeks have gone uber fast and im still not photographing enough to do a Photo Diary every Sunday which I would definitely prefer. Obviously I've taken more than 9 pictures the past two weeks but they're not really worthy enough to make it. I think my summers resolution will be to photograph what I do more!

 

July has actually been quite busy for me where I've been working all week and then had something to do every weekend! I finally got to see World War Z and it was bloody brilliant let me tell you! I wasn't actually too knowledgeable on what it was about because I thought the trailer really didn't give much away but it was full of so much action and it was so scary! I went with my boyfriend and throughout the whole film I had my hand round his arm constantly squeezing it because I was scared haha. After seeing it and LOVING it I don't understand how anyone can slate it, I think its one of the best films I have seen in a long while. Last weekend I had a fundraising night to attend; it was to raise money for the Marie Curie Cancer Care and it was such a fun night, probably got a bit too merry. So last Sunday I was literally dying haha. Obviously, this weekend I went to Kent which you can read all about here so I wont go into detail about again.

 

Tomorrow is the hottest day of the coming week and im working all day, boo :(. But I do have Friday off as me & the boyfriend are going to Zoo Lates at London Zoo which I am SO excited about!

I hope you've all enjoyed your weekend and have a lovely week in the sunshine whatever your doing!

I'll be posting again in a couple of days.

So, I have had a busy couple of weeks! Last week I definitely could have done a Photo Diary but me & my boyfriend were house sitting for his cousin so I didn't have my laptop with me. I went to see Robbie Williams & Olly Murs last Saturday & it was such an amazing night! Got a bit merry & a bit emotional when he sang Angels & She's the one - what a massive cringe haha! I finally got my mitts on a bottle of Bioderma, im still yet to try it because I haven't got round to buying some face pads yet but im positive its going to be amazing. About an hour ago I got back from my first blogger meet up! I had so much fun but I will do a separate blog post on that. But just a heads up I have now a few posts lined up for the following week so lots to read.

 

How have you been enjoying the sunshine? Im now off to my boyfriends so hope you've all had a good weekend!
