My week in pictures

Happy Sunday everyone!
Phew! what a long week it has been. It has been challenging in every sense of the word but I feel as if I've learnt a lot none the less. I've learnt that sometimes achieving one of your new years goals can actually turn out to be bad, yes -BAD! I got a job which I was thrilled about! but I was a little misinformed about what I would be doing beforehand and I got a morbid shock when I found out. I was completely thrown into the deep end and felt out of my depth, it left me feeling anxious and even sleepless. But something good came out of it, I learnt that it's absolutely okay to raise your hand and say "Hey, I really can't do this" -Something I was never comfortable doing before. I'm that silly kind of person that would rather suffer in silence than ask for help.

Things got better towards the end of the week when I went to my friend Áine's house warming party! and when I say house I mean small adorable flat. We all went for cocktails like the fancy people we are. (This is yet another goal I can tick off my new year list- try new cocktails). The cocktails were delicious but the staff were unnecessarily rude. I got a long island ice tea and it had all of the alcoholz, probably my new favourite drink ever!

 Anyway here's a few photos I posted during the week I thought I'd share:
1. My Cousin came over on Monday and we made baked Alaska. It was the best decision ever. Baked Alaska is heavenly.
2. My sister getting impatient with her college essay referencing (see no. 28 hehe)
3. My long island ice tea!
4. My friend Brenda's cosmopolitan that was so sex and the city, but also tasted like straight vodka.
5. Yuki being adorable.
6. Polka dot nails, excuse the overloading of clipart -I got carried away.
7. Don't normally go crazy over MAC collections (not even the recent Marilyn Monroe one) but I think I'll cave in and buy a lipstick from this one. It's themed around the comic Archies Girls.
8. Overly filtered sky, thought it looked pretty.
9. Yours truly rocking the fro. I'm trying to wear my hair au naturel more, curly madness ensues.

I have one week left until I go back to college and I really can't wait, 6 weeks is such a long break!
How was your week? :)

    1. Heard it was launching in the UK on the 7th of February, so no doubt it'll be earlier in the states :)

  2. This looks like such a fun week, minus the unfortunate job situation. Good for you for speaking up though, that's always so intimidating! I like your try new cocktails goal, mine it to try my hand at making some fancy ones at home too! Be careful with L.I.T.s though, the seriously do have ALL the alcoholz haha!
