I can't believe it's that time again where I'm sharing with you all of my favourites from this month which has just flown by! It's April tomorrow, absolutely crazy! However, this does mean we are a month closer to my birthday, wooo! A lot of the things I have been using throughout March were very similar to February, however there has been a select few products which have stood out and I have used on a daily basis; for the whole month!

 So firstly I have absolutely been loving That Lame Company; insane amounts. I ordered over £30 of prints, notepads etc from there and to be honest, I'd happily buy more right now. My favourite thing to use right now is the "I should have done this stuff yesterday" notepad; as it's A6, it's so much easier to carry around and it makes my life so much more organised.

 I have also been loving Joan Collins' Class Act Mascara. I have a full review of this live on my blog, however I had to mention it as I have been using it every day! It doesn't leave my eyelashes looking clumpy, but oh my; the volume and length is incredible. I love the way this leaves my eyelashes looking. False lash effect? Definitely.

 Another product which has made a huge difference to my life is the Hairapeutix hair treatment! I thoroughly enjoyed using this throughout March and the results I had made me incredibly happy. I was a bit wary to begin with because of it being an oil and usually my hair is pretty rubbish when it comes to any oils but this makes my hair feel so silky soft. Literally, I can't put a hair tie in without it falling out because my hair is so soft afterwards!

 Technic's Juicy Sticks has been my go to lip product throughout March. I wouldn't say it's completely matte, but it gives you a lot of moisture! I love how easy it is to apply this and how you can chuck it into your bag or a pocket and it's there when you need it. It's a very natural shade, very much a "my ip but better" shade; it's gorgeous.

Last but not least the Technic colour correction palette has made a re-appearance into my makeup bag. I've been using this a lot recently for any extremely red blemishes on my chin and to brighten up my under eye area instead of using a thick concealer. It has worked wonders on the days where I do not want to wear a lot of makeup, especially when I'm only popping to the shops.

What has your favourite product been throughout March?

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

I haven't shared a book review with you guys in what seems forever! So today I'm going to share with you my thoughts on one of the books from the Pretty Little Liars series; and of course it's Twisted! I believe this is the ninth book in the series if any of you were wondering.

So I have had very mixed emotions about this book compared to all of the rest. This is when they've thrown in a few hidden twists which you really do not expect, and a lot of this book contains a story line which isn't in the TV series. Therefore, if you're like me and reading the series after watching them, you're going to be extremely confused!

Unfortunately, I do not want to give you too many details about what goes on in this book and what's different to the book than the series, as this would be unfair for anyone who does want to read the series which Sara has brought out. So I'm not going to give you too many details. But I just want to know, why did they kill off Toby and his sister from the very start? Who is the random girl in this book who isn't in the series? And why does Allison have a twin who is actually the real Allison? Someone please tell me.

Would I recommend it?

I will always recommend reading the Pretty Little Liars books, they're absolutely incredible. This book however is extremely confusing and a bit pointless, but I am looking forward to reading the next book. So yes, I recommend it to you, along with all the rest.

Would I re-read it?

Out of all the Pretty Little Liars books, I personally wouldn't re-read this one; it just didn't make any sense to me.

What do I rate out of 5?

If I could rate it out of 5, I'd give it a 3. The content was still pretty amazing, but it didn't line up with the TV Series, and they've sort of gone on a random rampage into nothing while also confusing you in the process.

Have you read this book? Let me know what your thoughts were.

I'll see you soon

 I personally love Kiss Nails. I've tried them before and they're definitely a brand I'll always go back to for good quality, beautiful nails which last over a week. I used to find glue on nails would ping off and break very easily, however with these; they're long lasting, the colour doesn't chip and I don't have to worry about them pinging off if I'm a little bit heavy handed. Working with children, this is also a big issue but I don't have to worry when I'm wearing these.

I also absolutely love glitter. Usually no matter what colour I have on my nails, I will always find a glitter to go with it because I'm obsessed. I also love when you have that typical one nail which stands out from all of the rest; usually the ring finger. I think it gives your nails that added beautiful touch. Whether you want to wears these on a daily basis, or even for a special occasion; you don't have to worry about having grubby nails, because they look absolutely stunning with anything you wear! I think they'd be absolutely perfect as wedding nails! (Note to self for the future).

Have you tried out Kiss nails before? What do you think of them?

I'll see you soon

Something I wanted to speak about here on my blog is working out and who I'm using as inspiration to work out. I used to follow Lucy over on Youtube after seeing Anna Saccone Joly's results from having Lucy as a personal trainer; I thought it was incredible how she managed to tone up and look amazing after having two children.

Happy Motivational Monday to you! The past weekend has been a rough one for me and no I haven't had a hangover. I definitely haven't felt like myself even though I spent the whole weekend with my boyfriend. It's safe to say I was in one of those moods where I could have slept all day and I wanted to spend the whole weekend in bed, in my pyjamas with no care in the world. However, instead I spent the weekend in my cosy clothes, with no makeup on, my hair up, having naps during the day on my boyfriend's sofa.

I feel I could tell you a lot happened during this week, but honestly, I can't! I had a pretty standard, boring week. However, I'm sure university are trying to make me hate it a little bit more every time I go in; I'm sure of it. Who tells you that you do not need to present your presentation and that you can submit your presentation three weeks earlier, and then when it comes to the deadline they ask you to go get your presentation back because you need to present it. Who does that?! I really cannot stand when people go back on what they say to begin with; it drives me absolutely insane.

So this weekend I am currently spending the weekend with my boyfriend, helping him to stay sane while looking after his 11 week old puppy. Lets just say this weekend has been eventful and quite boring at the same time (Don't worry, he's bored too). Not only are we unable to go to the shops or go anywhere without a puppy, but he's either asleep on us or chewing absolutely everything that he comes too. However, Milo has finally met Willow and pictures can be found over on my twitter (@kimberleyjessca).

While it's the typical weekly round up Sunday, it is also Mothers Day! I would just like to say Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there; whether you read my blog and you're a blogger/mother or whether you're not a blogger but you do have children! I hope you all have a wonderful day and do something relaxing! Also happy mothers day to my mum! I'll see you later xxxx

Have a wonderful day and let me know how your week has been!

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

Some of you may be thinking this is the weirdest post you've ever seen in your life, but it's something I wanted to talk about here on my blog as I feel it's a topic which is sensitive for many people. For years and years. I spent every day worrying about the tiniest spot on my face, or even if I just had a mark on my face; it bothered me. I know I personally wear concealer because I know it covers my spots, or at least makes them look a bit less visible than what they are without concealer on. Let's be honest, if I have a spot, it's going to be as red and as a big as a tomato, but on my chin or cheek; always. This is no exaggeration either. 

So obviously many of you know that I work with children and around a month ago I was sat on a bench with a bunch of girls who I work with. We also all know children are very innocent and tell you everything that they see or hear. This girl, who is a wonderful girl I have to say said "You have spots". Clearly pointing out the obvious and telling me something I already knew. I didn't get angry and this comment didn't phase me because well, everyone has spots. So I said to her "I know I do, and one day when you're older, you're going to have spots too and I'm sure your sister has spots, and I know your mum has had spots and this is something we all have to grow up with." And honestly, she seemed really shocked, sort of thinking "really? I don't want to have spots" and then her friend says to her "I'm six and I have a spot".

From this moment I sort of let go of the fact I have spots. I stopped letting it bother me. I used to go to my boyfriend's house, take off my makeup and say "sorry, I'm having a bad skin day and I have loads of spots" but I don't anymore. I've accepted the fact that a week before my period, I have spots; it happens. If I'm stressed, I have spots. But I'm not the only person in this world that has them, yet we all tried to hide them like they're something to be ashamed of.

Why do we spend so much time worrying about something which is so natural? Something which absolutely everyone has to put up with. Men have spots, young boys have spots and they can't cover them the way us girls do. Yet we cover them because usually the case is, we're worried about what other people are going to say about our skin. But who gives a monkey? It's our skin, it's our body, and spots do not change us as a person, and they do not make us "ugly". So why is there this big stigma about them?

We should be showing children that it's okay to have spots when you grow up, not showing them that we have to hide them every time we get them. 

How do you feel about having spots? Do you hide them or embrace them?

I'll see you soon

Recently I was kindly sent the Joan Collins Class Act Mascara and honestly, the packaging just makes me so happy (I'm talking the actual mascara). So, I personally had never heard of Joan Collins before I started working with a PR company, however I found the products very intriguing because they look very high end, but I'd say they're a mid range brand. I couldn't wait to try this mascara out! Mascara is definitely that one product which I cannot leave the house without wearing.

Joan Collins claim "A smooth creamy, no clump, no shed formula, this mascara coats each lash evenly to define, enlarge and shape into a flattering curl creating a natural look that lasts and lasts."

So, I completely agree with how this mascara does not clump and it does not shed. Whenever I have worn this mascara, I haven't had excess mascara underneath my eyes by the end of the day and I haven't had clumping eyelashes. Hooray! 

Let's just talk about the packaging for the second. It looks incredible. Not only does it look very expensive, but it feels it too. It's not your typical plastic packaging like many high street brands. This is metal, it's gold in colour and you can tell you're paying more than a fiver for this mascara. It's absolutely wonderful. Here's a quick mention; this is £20. So only a couple more pounds than a No 7 mascara, ahh!

Now, this mascara has a different wand to any wand I have ever seen. Not only is there lots and lots of bristles, but they're not plastic like many mascaras you usually find. I'm not entirely sure what these bristles are made from, but because they're not a strong, thick plastic; it's so much easier to coat your lashes evenly without clumping. I've also found I'm able to pick up them tiny little lashes in the corner of my eyes too. This may also look like a straight wand, but it isn't! The wand is actually curved so the bristles are twisted around the "stick", as I call it. I find it really intriguing how they make these wands! It's definitely more of a high end mascara then what you'd find in your local Superdrug.

Have you tried Joan Collins products before?

This post features product(s) which I was sent for review purposes, however all opinions are my own.

I'll see you soon

I know many of you are still interested in how Willow is getting on and I'm always asked so many questions so once again I'm sharing another update with you now that she's fourteen weeks old. So last week Willow had her last injection, thank heavens! To be honest, we cannot complain; she was always an absolute angel at the vets and never had an issue when it came to going there. Last week she actually sat on the scales as soon as she was lifted onto the table as that's her usual routine when visiting the vets! It definitely cracked a smile.

Willow has now reached that stage of pulling on walks! But when she's walking on her own, she isn't as bad! It's weird how a dog just randomly starts pulling when the previous five weeks she hasn't pulled. However, we're keeping our fingers crossed and hoping she'll get out of the pulling stage. Or she'll just stay that way forever, we'll see.

Soon it will be the time to meet Milo (my boyfriend's Red Welsh Border Collie), he is absolutely stunning and three weeks younger than Willow, meaning he's very small compared to her even though it's only three weeks! We're too worried she'll squish him!

If you're interested in German Shepherd's or Huskies then let me know! Although we've had German Shepherd's before, it's definitely a new adaption having her as a husky too; there's definitely many characteristics about a Husky which are completely different to a German Shepherd! And wow, she is going to weigh a lot! Last week she weighed 11.5kg meaning she's probably 12.5kg or 13kg today. Insane! I wish I lost weight the way she puts it on.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I'll see you soon

So not only did I create my blog as a place to escape from everything that's going on around me, but I also created my blog as a way to let everything out. Basically like a diary, but instead of having my words sat somewhere where no one is reading them, hundreds if not thousands of people are reading them instead without saying a word; and this makes me happy. People are listening but not talking and sometimes that's all you need.

Unfortunately I'm an extremely sensitive person. The smallest thing can get to me, upset me, or make me angry or I can feel a hundred emotions all at once; sometimes you just never know and to be honest, sometimes I don't even know how I'm feeling. But for years now I've known I need to learn not to care, about anything. I know to be happy in this world you need to learn to not give a crap. Yet for some reason, I still care about absolutely everything. I care about how I look. I care about what people say. I care about the useless people in my life who actually mean a lot to me but they shouldn't. I even care about having a tiny chip in my nail varnish; why? I don't have a clue.

Recently I was talking to a friend, on a daily basis and to be honest it was lovely being able to speak to someone and enjoy the conversations I'm having with them. However, the conversations slowly began to stop and then for two weeks there were no conversations what so ever. Although I know I didn't do anything wrong, and I hadn't said anything wrong; I still questioned what I had done and why this person stopped talking to me and then started to ignore my messages. And to be fairly honest, I still care now, even though I've felt anger and sadness for something that I cannot change. I've tried to understand the situation and figure out why this had happened, but with constant stressing, I still couldn't figure it out and this person wouldn't tell me. I know I shouldn't care, because if they don't care about the way I feel, or the fact they can just stop talking to me with no issue in the world, then why should I care? Because they clearly don't.

But how do you stop caring? Whether this is about the small things or the huge things. How do you become this heartless person I suppose, and feel nothing about anything?

I'll see you soon

Something I feel strongly about is going for anything which you have a passion for and going for it with your arms wide open. But at the same time, something which always creates a barrier or a challenge in our lives is fear. All the time! Fear of what might happen or the fear of what other people might think about is. So this fear stops us from doing these things which we well and truly want to do and we seem to let the fear control our lives in a way.

In my life there has been so many different occasions where fear has challenged me and it has definitely broken me but I've come to learn that we must go for it regardless of how this fear makes us feel. Because otherwise, we're going to let the smallest thing make a big issue in our life. 

Today, if you can I want you to do something which is way out of your comfort zone, but I want it to be something which you've always wanted to do but never had the courage to because of fear. If people's opinions are the reason why this certain thing is out of your comfort zone, then forget about them and their shitty opinions and think about yourself. Think about how happy or relieved you'll feel once you've stopped caring about them, and when you start to only think about yourself.

Be that person who stops caring about what bad thing might happen, and actually think "what if I didn't do this", "What if I actually have fun". Think about the positives and don't look back!

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

Can you believe it's already the 10th Weekly Round Up here on Kimberley Jessica, it's crazy how quickly the past ten weeks have gone. But as well as that; we're already half way through March. Where is time going?! My week is usually fairly boring, especially the weeks when I'm not in University however this week has definitely brought some surprises, and some happy moments too!

I started off the week by not going into University and having a shopping day with my mum instead. Although ideally I'm on a spending ban, I did pick up some beautiful Pokemon pyjamas from Primark; they're so comfy, so bright and so pretty; I love them! However, this does mean I haven't stuck to my uni work schedule but that's okay, I have two months.

Willow went in for her last injection on Wednesday and weighs a whopping 11.5kg, she however probably know weighs 12kg! If you've been following her updates, you'll remember how small she was when we first got her! Only 5kg. It's also crazy to say we've had her for five weeks already, that time has gone incredibly quickly. 

As some of you may know I was incredibly unhappy with my job. I found I was absolutely dreading going to work on the Saturday, but I didn't have to go in until Thursday, but that's how much I didn't enjoy going in. I also found when I was in work I was constantly asking myself "Can I go home yet?"

For a job which I used to love, I was completely miserable and I needed to change this. Although this Thursday just gone I went into work and was told I was no longer doing the job I usually do; instead I now work with a boy in the same class however he has Autism. 

To be completely honest, I was mixed emotions about this! I was so happy to leave but at the same time I really didn't want to leave. So now I know that I'm staying, and working with a different child, I'm really happy but I'm gutted because I was determined to leave. I'm glad I've been given this chance to work with a different child with a completely different additional need. Not only is it going to give me more experience working in a school, but I'll be given training which I haven't had yet.

This week reminded me that you never know what's around the corner, something might happen when you least expect it.

I'll see you soon

Something all of us students are always looking for is trying to make quick and easy homemade meals which do not cost a lot of money! So today I'm sharing with you quick and easy pasta with a bolognaise sauce which you can put together for less than £7, serving four people in total. This uses Orgran Super Trio pasta which includes three super foods which you need in your diet. We all know Orgran is a gluten free company and that's what they are known for, however this pasta is also wheat, egg, dairy yeast and soy free and it's suitable for vegans and vegetarians too. So for £2.99 for a super food pasta which is free from nearly everything, it's definitely worth putting into your diet!

So let's get too it;

You will need:

One pack of Orgran Super Trio Pasta

A pack of fresh mince meat (you can pick this up from Aldi for less than £3)

One tin of plum tomatoes, or a tin of passata (Less than 40p)

Around 2tbsp of tomato puree (less than 60p)

One onion (less than 50p)

1tsp of dried basil (Less than £1)

Firstly prepare your onion, peel and cut into small pieces, then add the onion and mince meat to a saucepan. Cook both until onion has softened and mince meat has browned.

Meanwhile, put the pasta into a saucepan, add boiling water and turn on; simmer once the water is boiling again.

Add either the tin of tomatoes or tin of passata into the mince meat and onion; place on a low heat until at least half has gone (the tomatoes or passata will thicken).

Once the sauce has thickened, add the basil and stir.

Strain your pasta once it has softened, and the sauce and serve!

It's really as simple as that; I'd show you pictures of how wonderful it looks but I got to carried away eating it, I forgot to take pictures!

Let me know if you try this! And I hope you enjoy.

This post features product(s) which I was sent for review purposes however all opinions are my own.

I'll see you soon

Last year before I started blogging properly I published a weekly update of how my daith piercing was helping my migraines. I'm sure none of you have ever seen those posts so I'm going to go from the beginning and catch you guys up! But I wanted to share an update with you of how my migraines are and whether the daith piercing made a difference in the long run.

So I have suffered with headaches and migraines for around four or five years now, on a daily basis. Back in February 2015 I was asked by the most incredible brain doctor near where I live to create a pain diary of how bad my headaches were every single day on a scale up to 10. I also had to write a scale of when I was on my period and whether I took any pain killers to help my headache on each day. While doing this, I also had to come completely off co-codamol which I was taking four times a day, two tables at a time. And I was only able to take paracetomal or ibuprofen up to ten times per month, but ideally not at all. 

So I done everything he said, I didn't have any pain killers apart from if I had insanely bad period pain and needed to take them. And I wrote my pain diary for a year. In February 2016, I had my daith pierced to see if it would release the pressure and stop my headaches and migraines and for a while; it actually worked. I either didn't have a headache or my pain scale was below 5 whereas it was always a 9 or 10 beforehand.

However, it has now been over a year since I had my daith pierced, and it's been over two years since I stopped taking co-codamol on a daily basis. But I'm now back to daily migraines, for the past week I've had one and they're driving me absolutely insane again. Last night I was completely reluctant to write this blog post because of how much my head hurt, but it needed to be done so I did it! And then went to sleep of course because the pain makes me feel so incredibly tired and sick.

Sometimes I wish there was someone who could make these headaches and migraines just go away. Or for someone to tell me why I even get them. It has nothing to do with my eyes and nothing to do with my brain so what is it? To begin with they said it was stress, but is it? Really? I just want to know. 

If anyone knows of anything which takes away the pressure of headaches or migraines without taking medication, I would love to know! Because I've had enough of suffering with them now.

I'll see you soon

 The notebook I decided to pick was the Notes and Dreams, Thoughts and Schemes A5 notebook for £5.49. The reason I chose this was because I love the catchy name of it and how it literally looks like you've swatched nail polish across it. It's beautiful and I could easily look at this all day. Plus, colour makes me happy so this definitely does!

 The first notepad I chose was the "Either way I haven't done this yet" pad which is marble effect! And is also very small. You can pick this up for also £5.49. I think this is so cute. It fits into every bloggers life because of the marble effect too it (this is the only marble thing I own). And well, who doesn't want a small notepad in their collection?

 I also chose the "My Essential Notes" pad for £7.49. The reason I chose this pad was because it's lined! And also I am the best note taker of all note takers. I could take notes on everything and why take notes on a rubbish A4 notepad when you have something so pretty like this notepad?

 The last notepad I chose was the Sponsored Content pad to go with the blogger mail pad which I picked up last week. Honestly, why print off and make your own excel spreadsheets when you can buy a notepad, already made and as pretty as this? Save your time! You can pick this up for £10.49 on it's own.

As I also had 8 prints to choose, I decided to go for the customisable foil prints which are A5! You can pick these up for £4.99 each or you can buy these in bundles too. I absolutely loved these because you can create your own prints from the range of four different fonts and loads of different colours. I am a quote freak and if I could have quotes covering my bedroom walls; I would. They make me feel so inspired and motivated. So I decided to pick out the quotes which I pretty much live my life by which I always want to have with me. I may actually base a blog post on each of these quotes; interested? Let me know. But definitely check That Lame Company out even if it's just for prints; they're incredible.

Have you bought from That Lame Company? What's your favourite item?

I'll see you soon

Once again I have been sent some incredible products from Technic and I'm so glad I'm able to share them with you. Each of these products are now in my daily makeup bag and I am loving them far too much. If you haven't checked out Technic Cosmetics before then I highly recommend checking their products out after you've read this post! You never know, you might fall in love with one of these products.

Firstly, Technic sent me the Pro Powder Brush which you can pick up from £4.99. One thing I absolutely love about this brush is how incredibly soft it is. I mean, it feels like a blanket rubbing against your face; as weird as that sounds. I also love the shape of this brush; it's very peculiar and a shape I haven't seen before in a powder brush. It's massive, yet angled and quite narrow. The large brush also makes it so quick and easy to quickly powder or bronze your face!

We then have the most gorgeous Technic Juicy Sticks lip crayon in the shade "Naked 6076" which only costs £2.19! What an incredible price for a gorgeous lip crayon! I am obsessed! Not only is this a gorgeous pinky/brown nude, but it's silky and smooth on the lips; juicy is definitely the right word for this lip crayon. It's chunky, it's easy to apply and amazingly, it stays on for a long period of time even though it's incredibly cheap.

 Next in line is the Eyeshadow Shimmer primer; an absolutely gorgeous shimmery base to apply your eyeshadow on top of. I really like the way this looks with a golden or copper eyeshadow in the crease. You can pick this up for £2.07 on amazon! I haven't found that it makes my eyeshadow last any longer than without using this, but it does make my eyeshadow look fabulous; so it's that which counts.

 My ultimate favourite product of them all; the Mega Lash Mascara for £4.00! I have never had a mascara before with a wand as thick as this one, but I am loving it! And I think I prefer these wands now to a smaller, thinner wand. Although this is a very large wand, it has so many tiny bristles that it still picks up every single eyelash; even those tiny ones which you cannot see! I have also found I do not have a transfer of mascara onto my skin underneath my eye either; thank heavens!

Lastly there's the pink sparkle highlighter for only £2.59; amazing! So some of you may look at this and think, "wow that's insanely bright", but honestly, it's gorgeous; so so gorgeous. I think this would look insanely pretty if you have a tan and a gorgeous blush on too! Sometimes I do prefer going for a more pink toned highlighter than a white toned one and I'm obsessed. I actually love my original Technic highlighter too; it's one I use on a daily basis. So with the two combined, swept across my cheek bone; now that is stunning.

Have you tried any of these before? What are your thoughts?

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica
