So for the first time in ages I did nothing for a whole evening and I didn't even feel bad about it. It's really important to take a bit of time out of your week to collect your thoughts and look after yourself. I can't say I am the best spokes person for this idea, but I have bought loads of vegetables and started reading for recreational purposes so I'd say that's the step in the right direction...

After 2 weeks of solid dissertation writing, crying and eating noodles, I figured it was time to give at least my nails some TLC. These are the 3 latest editions to my nail varnish collection. I used to swear by Barry M's nail paint but now I have converted to Rimmel. It's got a nice consistency and although you need to give it a bit more than 60 seconds, it's pretty fast drying. In the (really shoddy) photo I'm wearing 'Mary Mary Quite Contrary' with the 'Pop Art Topcoat', which I think is amazing, I mean multi-coloured polka-dots with no hair clips or bed sheets ruined! 

In addition to the loving I have given my nails, I am also going to give guilt free, recreational reading a go, as there is only so much 90210 my brain can handle in one sitting. I have massively anticipated Lena Dunham's 'bestseller', however it has managed to remain unopened on my bedside table for 3 months. So I am off to finally start the book of one of the coolest ladies the 2010s has given us. I guess we'll see if I can articulate some sort of review when I get to the end.
