Since we are almost at the end of August (I can't believe it's gone this fast!), I thought I'd do something to celebrate and round up the month. It's been a crazy kind of month, so much has happened. I've seen people do Instagram round ups and seeing as I'm a bit of an Instagram junkie I cannot think of a better way to say goodbye to August 2015. Let me know if you like these kind of posts so I can do more of them.

Warning... may include ridiculous selfies and posing. Can't help being fabulous I guess.

I took this after finally eating a proper meal after being worried about my boyfriend after his Op.

These crazy Haribos with mixed up flavours and colours.. crazy!

When I bought myself an adult colouring book! We all deserve to enjoy the things we did as a kid.

Some yummy yummy cupcakes in time for The Great British Bake Off!

Just a selfie, because as you may know, I enjoy them. Nothing wrong with appreciating yourself and enjoying the way you look.

When I set up a countdown for things so far away I.E Disneyland!!

A hot drink in my favourite mug!

When I'd lost 5 pounds and was celebrating feeling great (have probably put those pounds back on now... damn!)

Sometimes it's the simple things that look good. Plain black tee with high waisted jeans for my family day!

I wouldn't normally upload random photos of my legs, but I thought they looked quite nice in black and white... is that weird?

And finally one last selfie, because I was feeling fabulous. Well anything to distract me from being ill.

So there you have it, my August Instagram round up! There was a hell of a lot of photos, I do apologise! Hope you had a wonderful August! Let's see what September brings shall we?

Hey guys,

I thought it was about time that I did a little post, addressing you all, my lovely readers. It's been a long summer and there has been a lot of beauty posts. It's been a while since I've done a post where I've just spoken to you, the reader, and spoken about myself, my life and of course what's going on in terms of A Little Bit Of Laura.

I know you all thoroughly enjoy my beauty reviews and posts, I've seen my views and statistics rise so much lately, especially since I've gotten back into my product photography. I want to take this moment to thank every single one of you for your lovely comments! For some reason my blog template ( I think ) won't allow me to reply directly to them, but I assure you I am reading them and I love you all!




As you may have noticed, my blog has gone under a make over itself and now has a nice fresh look which I hope you are all able to navigate properly ( I probably see it differently to you). I'm actually really pleased with the look, it doesn't usually take long for me to get bored of the design or layout however recently I've been absolutely loving it!

In terms of posts, I'd love to hear from some of you. I like to get suggestions for products to review or places to go or just simple things to write about. Your opinions matter to me, so if there is something you'd like me to write about, then please get in contact. I'd even be happy to collaborate with other bloggers, perhaps you are a beginner and need a little boost... let me know and perhaps we can do a tag/challenge together!

So, my life. Well if I'm honest it's been a rather stressful summer. Work got the best of me at one point and I started to feel a tad lost. Luckily, I know when to take a step back. Then I went to visit my lovely boyfriend (he lives in a galaxy far away) and after three wonderful days together, he was taken ill and a trip to A and E later and he was suddenly on the operating table having his appendix taken out- poor thang! Luckily he is making a good recovery and is feeling much better! So that was stressful, all the worrying (of course it was much worse for him!) and not being able to be by his side the whole time was very upsetting for me.

Then there was being (and I am still being) ill myself. Back and fourth trips to the doctors, not knowing whether to worry or not and not being diagnosed. Finally I believe I have a diagnosis which at least gives me peace of mind as to what is wrong with me, however whether the worrying will stop or not I don't know- I suppose we'll have to see if I get better!

It's not all bad though, because I've gone and booked DisneyLand Paris for me and my boyfriend for next year after we both graduate from Uni! I'm so excited although I do feel slightly bad for him as he'll have to put up with my crazy ass! Although he's put up with me for this long so... (if you're reading this Luke, thank you! <3)

I also went on a lovely little holiday to Norfolk with my friends, and whilst I was still concerned about my health, it was nice to have a break from everything. We stayed in a little static caravan which was both cute and amusing, but more on that in another post!

Also my boyfriend was then well enough to come and stay with me and my family for a couple of days which was lovely! So if you were wondering where I had been, this is where. I apologise for not addressing my absense more, but I felt like I needed to get away for a bit and with everything going on, it slipped my mind.

Now, I've already bored you all for so long so I'll just leave by saying that things have been up and down this summer, but I'm really looking forward to my last year at Uni, seeing my friends and my boyfriend and hopefully all that is to come with this blog! I'm going to write another post to celebrate all the good things that have happened recently on A Little Bit Of Laura, so if you'd like to celebrate with me, then look out for it! Because I have been absent for a while, and I love you my readers, I'm going to post some bonus blog posts! *hooray, does dance*. You're welcome.

Much love to all my beautiful readers and viewers!!

 Don't you just love it when you are rummaging through old bits and bobs and gifts and you come across some awesome things that you've never thought to try or had forgotten about? Well this happened to me and I came across these lovely little Sanctuary Body Butters.

This body butter is perfect for applying after a spray tan. Its subtle golden shimmer compliments your glow excellently!

All of them smell divine and are absolutely perfect for applying after a nice relaxing bath. I found that the smell was strong enough that if applied in the morning, for example, they acted as my perfume as well, so I didn't need to waste my Prada Candy that day! I love a moisturiser that you can smell for ages AND that makes your skin feel soft yet firmer.

These pots are little however they are the perfect size for packing for a holiday or a short trip, so great for the summer holidays!

I love discovering products that you'd either forgotten you had, or you've just never thought to try. This was one of those moments and now I have four little pots of body butter to use up this summer! Yay!
