Hello September

I wouldn't be lying if I said I was ready for knitted jumpers, boots and scarves.

Sometimes I just feel autumn and winter suits me more!

This September holds a lot of promise for me and I could not be more excited;

starting my masters course in Cosmetics Branding and Promotion is something I've looked forward to since I applied.

Having completed the dreaded student finance and enrolled, I am now looking for some new clothes and stationary to get me in the uni spirit!

What does September hold for you?

5 Vegetarian Recipes You Must Try

Not eating meat is something I've considered for a long time. I've never been keen on cooking it and I used to pick it out of meals a lot and eat whatever was remaining.
