I thought I'd try a little different blog post considering I've wanted to tailor my blog to an even wider range of my interests, and music is certainly one of them.

One of my favourite bands ever ever ever, State Champs, released tour days for Europe a few weeks ago and the minute tickets went on sale I got my hands on one. Today, they announced that Knuckle Puck (another favourite) and Roam are supporting them, which motivated me to make this post. I couldn't have wished for better support acts and considering I have never seen any of these bands before even though I have been DYING to, so this gig can't come quick enough. I'm going to the Birmingham date so if anyone else is then see you there!

I haven't posted as much as I'd have liked to recently due to it being exam time but thank god they are nearly over. After these few weeks though I am off until September so get ready for many more posts!

So recently I've wanted to try out some new skincare products and go back to a few old favourites because as much as my old skincare routine was working, it certainly could have been better. 

I still use the same Olay Face Scrub and Garnier Night Cream which I did previously because I am yet to find something that works as well for me. (blog post about them here). I also still use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water but I changed it up to their new soothing one for sensitive skin. This is probably one of my most recommended and must have products as it cleanses and clears make-up from your skin insanely well. 

I've also gone back to one of my old favourites which I regret ever giving up. That is the Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream. I have used this product for years and every time I do my skin always improves. After leaving this product for a few months I decided to go back and I've fallen in love with it all over again.

Two of the biggest changes recently to my skincare have been the Sebamed and Magnitone products.

I needed some skincare products which would be gentler on my skin as at my moment my skin has become very sensitive. The constant change of hot, cold and rainy weather is NOT helping at all. Sebamed sent me some of their products in their clear face routine to try out. One of the things that attracted me was the neutral value they had. With most products at a pH Value of 5.5 (neutral being 7) I was drawn to the products instantly and wanted to try out something 'friendly' on my skin. I have been so happy with how it has cleared my skin and reduced the spots and impurities.

Along with this I recently recieved a Magnitone Lucid Facial Cleansing Brush. I have been wanting one of these for a long time as I had only heard good things about them. And I have been very impressed. For the first day or two your skin does seem to break out as all the impurities and bacteria below your skin are released but straight away you can feel the difference in the softness of your skin. After those few days pass your skin clears up instantly, I have noticed such a difference especially if I forget to for a day and I wouldn't go back to a skincare routine without it. A bonus with the Magnitone Lucid is that it comes with a portable charger (the white oval thing) and it's 100% waterproof!

The lovely people over at Magnitone have given me a code for you guys to get 20% off when you buy a Magnitone Lucid. The Discount Code is : EmmaS20

Who doesn't love going to London? I don't go as much as I like which means every time I do I get far too excited and join in with the constant buzz of the fabulous city. This was very much a spontaneous trip but with so much to do in London we knew that our main destination for the day was Camden Market. I had never been before so you can imagine my face when I saw the unique maze of shops and stools and bars and street food which line endless streets. I also ventured into the main part of London passing through main site seeing spots like Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly and Big Ben. This was most definitely a much needed day out to take my mind of worries and instead focus on HOW MUCH I WANT TO LIVE IN LONDON!

This is probably the most bad ass thing I have ever seen. I so wanted to go to this restaurant. Next time.

Vegan Food is normally hard to find but with the vast variety of food it is slightly easier in Camden. We found this amazing vegan cookie place called Cookies and Scream and devoured this Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich.  Website here 

I now feel like an expert with the tube (despite my raging fear).

All the goodies! Unfortunately or me,  the notebook is a present for a friend.
