Massaging, acupuncture and cupping.

So today I visited the Herbal Inn for a massage and acupuncture session (I ended getting cupping as well). This is all part of my treating myself and looking after myself rule. I got a deal from Amazon Local for £29 and I was so looking forward to trying acupuncture because I’ve never had it before.

 I went to the Herbal Inn on Oxford Street and the service was really good! They ask you about certain areas you want them to work on and ask you about injuries etc. So after answering all the necessary questions I went and had my treatment.

 First it was acupuncture, I was a little nervous because I’d never had it before, but it was fine. You only feel a little pinch when the needles go in and then that’s it. However lying down for 30minutes with them was not fun! My masseuse told me to relax and it was near impossible! I listen to quite a lot of relaxation podcasts to combat my anxiety, so I tried using one of those. However thinking about lying on your back on a beach, when you have needles in your back, didn’t make for the most relaxing image. Nevertheless it was pain free and I just day dreamed. When he came to take the needles out I barely felt them coming out! I thought there were a lot more in me, than what he actually took out. 

 Next was cupping. I’ve seen this done before, so I knew what to expect and it is as weird as it looks and trust me this picture is the more flattering of the ones I came across on google!! It didn’t hurt or anything like that but the sound kept making me laugh. So my masseuse did that for a bit and then left one of the cups on my problem section. Now I have a big old cup mark there because he massaged me and left it there. 

 So then there was my massage. It was SO good. Ugh my masseuse worked on my problem area for ages, which was just fantastic. Then did my neck and shoulders and then lower back. It was so bloody perfect. It wasn’t that relaxing when they are tackling problem areas but after that it was just bliss and it leaves you feeling so revived.

 I even got a box of ginseng things to take, which I’m actually not looking forward too. I bet it will be gross   :( But what a lovely way to spend the day! Considering was starting to snow when I was on my way there. But four hours later I'm warmed up with some tea in my hand and I'm feeling pretty good. I certainly recommend Herbal Inn, although it will leave a dent in your pocket when you pay full price!

Primark treats.

I think the Primark in Birmingham is pretty awful and I haven't actually visited a Primark in a couple of months, but last week I did pop in a managed to find myself some goodies. 

I love the flats, I haven't bought or wore flats in over a year and my feet just don't cope well in them but I couldn't resist these two. I just stare at them now because the weather isn't permitting me to show them off just yet. The dress is absolutely gorgeous for £13! Not something you'd see and think it was from Primark! No idea where I'll wear it too but you never know what could be coming my way once I graduate!

I went to Poland!

I've completely forgotten about my blog :( The good thing is, it hasn't been time wasted I actually have been working away at uni, self developing and travelling it would seem! Two weeks ago I got to visit Poland to visit a friend. Whilst it was dead cold it was lovely. There wasn't too much to see, but I did do some shopping which I WILL post about later, because it was so cheap out there. Mainly it was lovely to spend time with my friend. I cannot wait to go back in the summer. I didn't take to many pictures but here is what I have!

Horrid picture of me to prove I was actually in the country. 

It was nice to add Poland to my travel books! I post my shopping goodies next especially the dresses my wonderful friend gave me. I'm such a lucky girl.

Forgiveness?!

Forgiveness is all I can ask for, because I have no excuse for not keeping up with my blog! Ok, I just sat two final year exams and then there was Christmas and new years, all of which I spent my time revising throughout. So humble apologies! I'm glad to see my blog is still being read though! Makes me very happy! 

 I have done a spot of shopping here and there. I purchased these from New Look just before Christmas and I adore each and every single one of them!

As they were all in the sale, I'm sure they are gone from the website (no, I am not too lazy to go looking) I cannot link back. But just how gorgeous is that skirt! 

 Now, I'm at the point where I don't know what to do with my blog! You know how the new year makes people question things? Well I'm constantly questioning and pondering life in general, and alas when it comes to the blog, I have no idea where it is heading! It's just nice to have somewhere to post this stuff. So until I figure out a good direction, it will have to be sporadic posts like these! All in the midst of job applications and general life doings. You have been warned!

 I hope everyone is enjoying the weather. NOT. I hate the cold and now I have a cold, so I'm snuggling up with a book (not a uni textbook, so glad of this) and tea and cold medication.

A wishlist!

Between doing work and some incredibly procrastination, I have found some Christmas items I must have. With such a short list, I am giving it to my family, so that I can be a happy girl on Christmas day. But let's take a look at what they are are:

Gabby Sequin Dress in Iridescent Green - Motel - £58

OR 

Gabby Sequin Dress in Iridescent Purple - £58 - Motel

Body Con Dress in Island Print - £28 - Motel

Skull Embellished Jumper - £20 - Lavish Alice

Studded Black Boots - £40 - Topshop

I'm already really excited, as I am so poor at the moment! I can't decide between the Motel dresses though. I want the green because it's gorgeous, but I'm tempted to ask for purple because it's my favourite colour, hm decisions.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
