How-To | Compassion, Sponsoring a Child

As most of you probably know, or have sussed out by now, Kate and I go to church.

Within our church we support a lot of charities and Christian businesses. Which, if I'm being honest, I'd never really paid attention to.

It wasn't till one of the leaders in the church got up to speak about an organization called 'Compassion UK'. 

TGIF // Friday Favourites

So I decided it was about time I made myself switch from my normal ginormous handbag to something a bit smaller and more colourful for summer. So I chose this bag from New Look. It's orange and small and that's about all I needed to know to buy this. I wouldn't say I'm loving using a small bad, I find it means that I spend half my day playing tetris trying to fit everything I 'need' into it, or bringing a tote bag with me so I can bring my laptop etc,.

I bought a pair of white trainers from Primark, this pair is the most similar still available. I have a pair of Stan Smith's which I love but I needed a cheap pair that I wouldn't mind wrecking. These are super comfy and cheap enough that I don't feel bad if they get ruined quickly.

I picked up this fake tan from Boots the other day. Usually I buy the St Moriz one where it develops over 6 hours and then you wash it off but I thought I would give this one a go and wash it off after 1 hour for a light tan. It came out really well and not at all streaky. Although I think next time I would leave it on for a wee bit longer.

I have been loving these Precious Metal and Solstice palettes from Sleek. As soon as I have even the slightest tan I go highlighter crazy. And these two palettes are gorgeous!

So there we have it, my Friday favourites all of which I'm coincidentally wearing/have used today.

What are some if your current favourites?

History of Art is cool // I need a better title

As a frequently mentioned person on this blog Kate finally annoyed me into writing another post. This is all her ideas and so you can blame her if it is boring or rubbish!

I'm the younger sister and I'm just coming to the end of my third year of University (of four) studying a joint honours in History and History of Art. Something I get asked regularly is what exactly does a History of Art degree entail, to be honest most people think it's a skive. So I thought (or Kate thought) I should write a post about my degree for anybody who wants more information as it is not a subject taught in most schools.
