I thought it was about time I did another kitten update as Vinny has grown so much and has such a funny little character. When I last updated you he was due his second vaccinations which he had and we have now booked him in for his neutering for the end of November.
If you have seen me recently and noticed I seem to have a lot of scratches on my 
hands/arms its because Vinny has began biting – a lot. We have spoken to the vet about it after trying various different techniques and she said he is probably teething! We have tried ignoring him, picking him up by his scruff, tapping his nose and none of which have made any difference. We know it’s only play biting but we don’t want him to think its okay to do it, as his teeth are getting sharper, it hurts a lot! He is a very playful little thing! So we have started to put him away in the downstairs toilet room when he gets very bitey, which at the moment is calming him down a lot.
We have started letting him upstairs at night now instead of keeping him in the room 
downstairs he was in and he has really surprised us. Some nights he can be an absolute nightmare and run around in the early hours of the morning, dragging his toys around, jumping all over us but most of the time he is an angel. We try not to let him sleep much after 7pm and we try to tire him out so he will sleep once we go upstairs. We generally go to bed between 9 and 10 and he will just follow us up to bed and curl up at the end of the bed. We got him a really soft blanket which is at the bottom of the bed and he just kneads that until he falls asleep. On the nights he sleeps pretty easily, we don’t generally hear from him until we are woken up by him head butting us for attention. I love it when I wake up to him purring right in front of me, nuzzling into my face and just being very loving!
He had his first ever visit to a cattery, which I think he really enjoyed. I mean, how do you tell? I was really worried about leaving him somewhere as he was so young and tiny but he was absolutely fine. We dropped him off with my dressing gown so he could be reminded of us by the smell and he just went through a stage of only sleeping on it! When we got him back home after he seemed very happy to be back home, running around purring and giving us lots of cuddles and not wanting to leave our sides.
He still follows us around everywhere. And I mean everywhere. If i go upstairs so hang some washing, he’s right there beside me. Right now, he also has such an obsession with climbing in the bath and we have no idea why. We give him a bath clean every month or so, so we know that he is clean. He has a habit of standing in his poo sometimes so we like to make sure he is clean. And he hates baths and water so we really don’t know why he likes to climb into the bath so much. Thankfully he hasn’t done it whilst there has been water in there!!
He’s had a few more visits to the vets for his flea and worming treatments which have all
gone ok. He got weighed again in the middle of October when we went for his treatments and he weighed 1.77kg. I can’t believe how tiny he still is! We have booked him in for the end of November to be Neutered, which I’m hoping will calm him down a little. He can be so crazy, its funny. He will run around the house like someone is chasing him, stop and sit down for about 5 seconds and then be off again. It makes me wonder what goes through his mind. I also love how he sits with his paw tucked underneath like he is in this picture, it just makes my heart melt. We have tried him with a few human foods as well and he has really loved them! His favourite is ham! We have also given him little bits of tuna, salmon and chicken. But whenever anyone has ham in their food, he is sat right by your plate meowing until you get up and give him soon! Greedy!
I think that is everything on how Vinny is doing, I hope you have enjoyed this kind of post. I love writing these ones so when he has grown even more I can go back and read them and be reminded of how tiny he was. I’m so glad we got Vinny because he keeps me company when Sean is at work and just makes me happy. I’ll be back soon with another Vinny update, probably once he has been neutered. Thank you for reading,
Until next time,
Goodbye ♥
Glossybox have only gone and done it again! I actually really like Makeup Revolution palettes and have a few of them and i’m really impressed with this one too. The only thing I will say that is sort of negative is this isn’t a new palette. It has been around since the beginning of this year, I understand it fits in with the theme of this months box but i’m sure a lot of people would have preferred to have a new out palette. Saying that, i’m really impressed. For £4 this palette is definitely worth it, the
one of these. I got mine from Primark sometime this year and it only cost me £2 so when I saw this one that RRP’s at £7.99 I just think it is quite expensive for what it is. That being said, it actually does quite a good job of cleaning your brushes. You pop two fingers into the gap at the side, wet your brushes, add a tiny bit of soap or baby shampoo and swirl it round. It has two different parts, the straight lines for the bigger brushes and the small dots for smaller brushes like eyeshadow brushes. If you haven’t seen or used one of these before then I can see why you could be excited about this.
This was one of the sneak peak products that we got to see a few weeks ago and I was really looking forward to getting this. Whilst I love getting higher ended products in my glossybox, I also love receiving affordable drug store things. This is because I love getting to try more expensive things that I normally wouldn’t buy but also love getting the cheaper items because they are easier to re purchase again. Either way your getting to try products you may not normally purchase, but could end up loving them! I love Sleek! I have a few of their 
things and they have never disappointed! I love the shade of this blusher and can’t wait to start using it. Whilst it is a creme blusher in the pot, once applied to cheeks and blended it magically turns into a powder! How amazing?!
When I first saw this I really wasn’t sure what it was and actually first thought it was a creme eyeshadow! It’s actually multi-purpose and can be used on your lips as a lip balm, cheeks as a blusher and on your eyes as a eyeshadow. I think if it wasn’t multi-purpose and was 
mainly just a blusher, I would be a bit miffed that there is 2 blushers in one box. But I will probably mainly use this as a lip balm and a creme eyeshadow. I absolutely love the packaging, you can definitely tell it is a high end product. The pot itself looks very classy and it’s an ok size. Personally I wouldn’t pay £19.50 for this, but that is just my opinion. I got mine in the shade Dolce Pink, and its beautiful! You can find this on the 
I’m always really excited when I get Lord & Berry products as they never fail to disappoint! As someone who doesn’t always do my eyebrows, I love receiving new brow products to try out as I don’t currently have a favourite. I love the packaging for this its very simple yet classy as you can tell it’s more of a higher branded product, just by looking at it. The product itself feels very creamy and it’s a good sized pencil. Mine is in the shade 
Brunette, which I wouldn’t usually go for as i’m blonde, but this is quite a good match when pressing lightly. The tip of the pencil actually has 2 shades combined together to give a more natural look. I’m looking forward to getting to use this product and seeing what I think after using it for a period of time! Personally I think £14.00 for a good quality eyebrow pencil is really good! You can find this on the Lord And Berry Website.
section. This palette immediately jumped out to me, mainly because it had a big red sticker on it saying £5! Bargain. I’d been wanting a new nude eyeshadow palette for a while but didn’t fancy paying nearly £40 for a Urban Decay Naked Palette, so I was pleased to have picked this up for £5! There are 12 gorgeous shades and it’s one of those palettes that I will actually use 
all of the shades at some point. They range from pinky nudes to plumby gold shades. They are very easy to blend and have hardly any fallout, which makes it so easy to use! So if your looking for a new nude palette, reluctant to pay a lot of money for a good one, check out The Original Factory Shop!
something, I spontaneously picked these up and thank the lord I did. These wipes smell amazing and they actually feel like they re hydrate my skin. I have quite dry skin in places and since using these wipes, it has really improved. They really don’t leave your skin red and inflamed like some wipes can. For such a quick purchase, I have been using these almost daily and that is why they has slid into my September Favourites. And for a £1 for 50 wipes, you really can’t go wrong and complain if you don’t like them as its only a pound out of your pocket.
This is a slightly different favourite of mine but it has taken up my Tuesday nights during September and even into the start of this month, but I just had to mention it. I have been LOVING this programme. I never watched the first series when it aired in 2015 but I found it on Netflix a few weeks ago and I remember hearing it was really good. It was one of those times where you just stumble upon a programme but then you really get into it! Luckily as I found it on Netflix, series 2 was about to start so I didn’t have to wait too long. It’s a BBC drama where a wife, Gemma, suspects her husband is having an affair. After doing some digging her life kind of falls apart with many twists and turns. If you haven’t seen this I highly recommend you do because it will leave you questioning what is going to happen next. I’m so sad it’s now over and have heard there won’t be a series 3. However the BBC always have great looking drama’s on so i’m sure there will be something just as good to fill up my Tuesday nights on the sofa. You can find Series 1 on Netflix and i’m sure Series 2 is on BBC I Player or will follow on Netflix.
it into my favourites post. But the last few days I have been wearing it to track my sleep, heart rate and exercise. I’m really wanting to up my exercise as i’m not working at the moment, i’m not moving no where near as much as I should be. I brought this for myself at the very start of this year and wore it when I first got it for a while then stopped, until I went into hospital for two weeks and haven’t really wore it since. I just find it really interesting to see how much sleep I’m getting, my heart rate at different times of the day and how many steps I do on a standard day. If your wanting a watch that can do all that and other things then you really should consider a Fitbit. When I chose mine I instantly knew what colour I wanted as it just looked so beautiful. As mine is currently charging I am posting a picture from the 
Once we had finished out little shopping spree we wanted to have a drive to The Docks again and wanted to try and find The Beatles Statue and a museum to visit. Very tourist! We parked up and once we figured out where the parking ticket came out, we were off! We weren’t entirely sure where the statue was but once I saw a crowd of tourist looking people, I knew where it was! It was a lot bigger than I imagined and it just looked really modern and fitting in with the vibe of the docks. If your in Liverpool, you should definitely visit this! You can find it at Pier Head Dock. Once a few snaps were taken we went off on a walk to see what else we could find. We found a museum that looked very unique from the outside and as it was free entry, we had a little explore inside. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I couldn’t really find any information about what was inside, but I was pleasantly surprised. It had a lot about Liverpool’s history and what it is famous for and an overhead rail way. We then headed back to the car and made our way back to where we were staying.
In the summer when me and Sean were up in Aberdeen we had a trip to The Range one morning with his mum, sister and step dad’s mum. As we were looking round I came across this lamp and loved it. It looked like a plain and simple lamp on the outside but once turned on, reminded me of fireworks and was just something I hadn’t seen before. Sean’s step dads mum, 
Margaret, kindly offered to buy us this as a house warming present and it now sits on our bookshelf downstairs and really finishes off the room. It looks beautiful in the evening when it’s dark outside and the curtains are drawn. 
I was beginning to think I wouldn’t be getting one of these and began to give up. That was until one day when my mum found one and brought it for me as a present! So if your reading this mum, Thank you so much for that!! I love the marble effect in the smaller heart and I love how it looks on my TV Unit. 
home. I searched the next website and just had to order it. If you know me personally you will know that I have a huge love for anything zebra or zebra print. I brought this before we even viewed a house as I had fallen in love with it and figured everyone needs a door stop, don’t they?! I wouldn’t normally look through the next home website as everything is so beautiful, yet so expensive! But this was really reasonable and there was an option to save a few pound when you paid for it monthly. It cost £18 which for a great quality doorstop, from Next, is amazing! I don’t actually have hardly any doors as our house is quite open plan so he sits on my stairs and I just love him. 
Aldi candles that are very popular at the moment. They are meant to be a dupe/similar to the very expensive Jo Malone ones but instead of being a shocking £300, they are £3.99! Bargain! I have wanted one for as while as since I have moved into my own house, I’m candle mad! It’s such a simple yet classy jar and looks a lot more expensive than it is and well… the smell! The smell is so subtle yet strong it’s hard to explain. There are three different ones in Aldi. The No. 1 which scent is Lime, Basil and Mandarin. The No. 2 which scent is Blackberry & Bay. And No. 3 which scent is Pomegranate Noir. Eventually I would like to have all 3 as I think they would look great on my bookshelf. I really don’t want to light this yet and i’m going to try and hold off for as long as I can! You can find these in Aldi but they are very popular so you’ll have to be quick!
We recently had a trip to The Range in search of some Fairy Lights. We weren’t entirely sure what type we wanted we just knew we wanted them! When we got there we were faced with a few different styles but we finally decided on these heart shaped ones. We wanted them to wrap around the stairs so that part of the living room would look brighter and cosier. I have never seen lights like them, they have a metal like wire that shapes a heart to create a sort of shabby chic style. We brought two packs and they were £4.99 each. The RRP was £5.99 so we saved £2. They have really added to our home and have made the living room look very cosy at night. 
floor so we thought it would make the room cosier. We knew we wanted Grey with maybe a hint of lilac so when we saw this one we knew it was perfect! We stupidly hadn’t measured the gap in front of the corner sofa so we soft of had to estimate on the size. We un rolled one rug and thought it would be too big so went for the smaller option – and good job we did! It fits perfectly and looks great against our grey corner sofa. We have recently got some new cushions on our sofa to match the rug, lilac and grey and I really like the finished look. The rug was £34.99 which is really reasonable as it’s of a good quality and feels so soft! 
one up for a while and I’m so glad I finally have it. It feels so soft on your face and I can’t wait to apply my highlighter with it! The Bella Pierre Setting Powder looks really good too and feels so silky. I had been looking for a new setting powder and i’m excited to use this one. You can find the
with this and it will produce a natural finger blend effect. They are very hygienic, easy to clean and dry and produce less product wastage. I’m really excited to try this out and see if the hype is as good as it’s made out to be! RRP for this is £5.99 which is so affordable and potentially a cheaper alternative to a beauty blender or a foundation brush. You can buy it
As I don’t always fill in my brows this is something that is quick and easy for me to do as you just brush over your brows. RRP for this is £12.00 which nearly covers the cost of the box, which for one product is amazing. I love the packaging as it’s such a pastel minty green colour. Since receiving this I have checked out the website and they have so many different products, all that look really good. Hopefully Glossybox will send us some more out another month. You can buy this product 
I had no idea what this was when I first saw it in my box and when I saw it was a facial oil, I was very excited! I really need to get into a skin care routine morning and night as I have just been neglecting my skin lately, and this will really help me with that. The scent of this really sends me back to college days when we would do facials on each other. This one if perfect for me as it’s for dry/sensitive skin and I have some quite dry patches dotted round my face but overall i’m quite sensitive. It’s such a good size sample and feels amazing on the skin. You can buy this 
This was probably what stood out the most to me in my box as it was quite big and the reason my lid didn’t fit on properly. It came in a triangular shaped box and inside were three mini bottles and a voucher. Like i mentioned before, these will really help me get back into a good skin care routine. Along with the oil, I have used these a few times already and all together they leave my skin feeling lovely and refreshed. I will definitely be using the £3 off voucher in my local boots and picking up some bigger sized bottles. You can find Cetaphil on the boots website or for a bigger range, visit the Cetaphil website 
my make-up routine with a primer. I find that using primer really helps to prepare your face for the base. I recently purchased the Collection – Primed & Ready Primer, and I love it. It creates a really smooth base to then go on and apply for foundation. It cost me £4.99 which is such a reasonable price. It’s currently on offer in Boots for £3.99 so if your looking for a new primer and don’t want to spend a lot, you should definitely try this. 
00 – Ivory, but recently I have been mixing it to create more even coverage and a shade that suits my skin tone more. I mix it with L’oreal True Match in shade Vanilla. Personally I’m not a fan of the True Match on it’s own as I have dry patches that it clings too, but mixed with Match Perfection it’s perfect for my skin. When mixed together it’s quite full coverage and lasts me through the day. You Can Get Them Here : 
even out skin tones by covering imperfections, blemishes and any flaws in the skin. A while ago I did a little ELF haul and purchased Studio HD Lifting Concealer which I really liked. I tend to use this one to go round my brows and cover any spots or blemishes I have on my face. For under my eyes I absolutely love using Collection Lasting Perfection in shade 1 – fair, as it really brightens up those darkened under eye areas. Both are under £5 which is such a good price! You Can Get Them Here : 
atte Pressed Powder in Transparent. It’s a very lightweight powder that provide long lasting coverage. If I’m baking, I tend to use the Collection Sheer Loose Powder that I apply with a beauty blender and then sweep off with powder brush. I like to switch up a little depending on what look I am going for. Both are under the £5 mark and I’ve had both for ages and they are still going strong! You Can Get Them Here : 
cts for different things. For Contouring I tend to use the Maybeline Master Contour V Shape Duo (back in picture). I’m not a huge fan of cream contour but as it is in a stick form, it makes it a little easier. This is a great way for someone like me, who isn’t the best at contouring to really get it in the right places. I love that this has a highlighter in it too and I use this to really make sure under my eyes are brightened and to blend into the contour so it isn’t a harsh line. For bronzing I really like the MakeUp Revolution Bronze, Shimmer, Highlight (right) I sometimes use the bronzer in this to contour my cheek bones, but it is also really nice swirled together to create the bronzy glow to finish off a look. For highlighting I love the ELF Illuminating palette (left). It has two beautiful shimmery highlight shades and two bronzed shades that you can mix all together or use separate depending on the look. My favourite is the top right shade which looks lovely on cheekbones to highlight them. You Can Buy Them Here :
m in if i’m going somewhere nice. I have a fringe so you can’t really see my eyebrows anyway. When I do fill them in, I use the Sleek Eye and Cheek Palette which my mum brought for me a while back as it was on offer in boots. I use the middle bottom shade mixed with the bottom left and it makes my perfect eyebrow shade. I also use the blusher in this palette (top left). It’s such a beautiful colour. 
Roller Lash mini with my Birchbox points as I wanted to test it before I spent money on it full sized. I love the applicator on this one as it doesn’t clump your lashes together, it leaves them looking really natural. I got the Douce Punk Volumising Mascara in a Birchbox and I really like it. It leaves your lashes a bit clumpier than the Roller Lash but still looks natural. As they are both mini’s its very handy as they fit in makeup bags if your going away. You Can Get Them Here : 
only setting spray I have used but I’m quite impressed so haven’t felt the need to buy another yet. It feels very refreshing on the face and leaves my makeup lasting all day. If I had to change one thing about it, it would be the smell/scent as it’s quite plain. But if your in the market for a setting spray, you should definitely try this one! It’s very affordable at £5.99 and there is currently on offer on where it is only £3.99 in Boots. 
champagne – pink shade provides the perfect pop of colour to eyes and cheeks, and velvety radiance to the rest of your complexion.”
e and feels so soft and creamy. I can’t wait until I go to Liverpool in 2 weeks for a party, to try this out on my eyelids! The cost of this one full size product covers the cost of the box. You can visit the 
n I first opened my box this was the item that stood out the most to me. The outside design is very bright and funky. It’s a decent size product and I can see why it is easy for people on the go. Whilst is a very creamy and smooth product, i’m really not keen on the taste/smell. It’s a little minty but also something else but i’m not sure what. I don’t think I will be keeping this and will probably give it to my sister. You can find Arrow on the Birchbox website by 
tioned that you could pay extra and receive an Oliver Bonas candle, which I did and i’m very pleased with it. I had no idea what scent the candle would be so you could say it was a bit of a risk. When I opened my box all I could smell was Mint and instantly knew I had made a good choice with the candle. It’s a Bergamot & Mint 90g Travel Candle. The packaging on the outside of the candle is bright and quirky and it’s just a lovely size. It smells lovely and I can’t wait until the nights start to draw in a bit more and light it so the room feels all cosy.
