PRETTY YOUNG THING

'ask him his salary - collage by Amy Gamble'

There's been some massive changes to my life recently. Suddenly everythings becoming so real! About 4 years ago now was when I found out I would be going to Coventry University. I had applied to University to study Fine Art. I really wanted to go to Birmingham City University however come results day that didn't go as planned and I ended up getting in to Coventry. I was still happy because I was going to uni! 

Now my three years is over... I've just finished my course and I got my grade yesterday. I have a 2:1 degree in Fine Art. I'm now a Bachelor of Arts with Honours! 

Going to university was something I always knew I wanted to do, getting into Coventry wasn't straight forward, but I didn't let it stop me. I've now finished with the grade I needed and I'm so happy but the last year or so I have been feeling really down about uni and have been struggling with my work. Honestly I think I started to fall out of love with making art however I was so close to the end that I didn't let myself give up. 

So I managed to get everything finished, hung up and exhibited. I was so so glad it was all over but then I had to await my results. I didn't do very well in my last module which was expected but I managed to get my 2:1 overall which is amazing! I want to be a teacher and to get on the teacher training course you need a minimum 2:1.

My decision to go to university has changed my life in so many ways. I've learnt so much about the real world and deadlines. I have a title after my name now which will hopefully open up many doors for me. I want to make something of myself and now i'm a graduate I will hopefully be able to get a decent job and start my living my life.

Clinique All Heart *

(ignore my cat scratch)

I really like Clinique and recently I posted about the loose powder that I picked up from the counter in boots. Well they sent me a voucher saying if I went in for a free consultation I could get a free Lipstick. So I went straight to boots and handed over the voucher and the lady gave me this :) I think its a very decent size (since it was free) and the colours not too shabby either. I've never used a clinique lippy before but I do like it. Its very easy to apply and has lots of moiture which is necessary at the moment with the cold weather. The colour is a nice dark red colour which is not something i'd usually go for - i'm more neutrals and pinks but this goes on very nice and the colour is not over powering. When its been on for a bit it sinks into the lips and looks very natural. I love the Clinique packaging - I really am a sucker for a bit of simplistic packaging. Its a nice handy lipstick to keep in your bag in the winter months its so easy to apply so you can do it anywhere I really like this lipstick and will have a look into buying some more pieces from the Clinique counter (especially if they keep sending me vouchers ;)) I hear their mascara is very good so I might try that next :) I have lots and lots of boots advantage points so let me know what I should buy :)
