Celestial Kingdom

iPhone cover c/o Iconemesis

Iconemesis are a company who work in collaboration with artists in the UK to create unique and funky iPhone cases. They contacted me and kindly offered me a case of my choice, it was really difficult to decide as they have some lovely designs but I finally decided on the Celestial Kingdom design. A couple of my other favourites are the Anastasia design and Black Floral. I absolutely love my new case, my old one was falling apart and I was really bored of it, so thank you Iconemesis :)

At the moment they are offering 20% their iPhone cases with code ICON220 so if you need to buy a late Christmas present for a friend or fancy treating yourself head on over and check out their designs. 

Firmoo Glasses

glasses c/o Firmoo

Over the last year my eyesight has got loads worse and I've started to wear my glasses on a daily basis. They are a really cheap pair from Tesco which I love but I've had for years so its only a matter of time before they break :(

So, when Firmoo contacted me to try a pair of their glasses I was really excited to get involved. Firmoo are an online store selling both prescription and non-prescription glasses. The site is really simple to use and they have such a wide variety of frames at such good value. 

I was a little apprehensive about choosing my frames online as I'm really fussy with glasses; but Firmoo have this virtual try-on system where you can upload a picture of your face and 'try' the glasses on so you can tell which suit your face more. This was really helpful as a few of the frames I originally picked really didn't suit me! Filling in your prescription details is surprisingly really simple too. 

When ordering my glasses I accidentally ordered my glasses incorrectly- the Firmoo team were really helpful in solving my problem and ensuring my order was correct. I was really impressed with the quality of my glasses when they arrived (especially in comparison to my cheap frames) and delivery was really quick. I chose these frames in tortoise shell, you can't really see the colour in this photo but you can see it in the light- I did think they might be lighter than they are but as they are darker I think they look more sophisticated. 

Overall I am really happy with the service I got from Firmoo and the product I received. I would definitely recommend them.  

Now onto the good news for you guys, Firmoo have introduced the First Pair Free Program- offering new customers their first pair of glasses for free!! (You just have to pay for postage which works out at around £10) To bag your free pair follow this link.

It feels like these photo's were taken ages ago, it has been a few weeks but because of doing essays ever since I feel like it's been months! That's why I haven't been blogging much, I have things to post and will do now and then but my work is taking over my life at the moment and will be for the foreseeable future. 

I'm wearing nothing new in this post, I haven't bought any clothes really all term but am still so skint! :( my roots are horrendous too, where's that money tree?! Wore this outfit for a friends birthday in Nottingham, we went to Rock City. Haven't listened to rocky sort of music out for a long time so was pretty fun! 

Merry Christmas from Motel!

Buying For The Boy

Guys are the hardest people to buy presents for, ever. FACT. I'm always stressing about what to buy them, whether it's a boyfriend, a friend, brother or my Dad! This article suggests a few present ideas to spoil your boy this Christmas:

 (I was going to incorporate it with a few of my own ideas but since I got my new mac I'm having trouble downloading the picture editing software I normally use)

Knowing what gifts will be an instant hit with boyfriends has long been a puzzling mystery. Whilst women will usually be very vocal when it comes to suggesting gift ideas (or at least skilled at dropping heavy hints into everyday conversation), men tend to keep their cards far closer to their chest – much to the despair of girlfriends and wives everywhere, who struggle to work out what to buy their hubbies for Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries.

Of course, there are always the tried and tested options of aftershave, chocolate, socks or soap, but frankly these can feel a little bit boring. The trick is to look for fun alternatives that will appeal to the boy inside who never really grew up. As a general rule, men can be relied upon to enjoy fiddling with gadgets, so why not opt for a technological gift?

Tablet computers have become this year’s must-have gadget, and rumours suggest that Apple will be bringing out an iPad mini in the not-so-distant future - a lighter and cheaper version of the latest iPad. If the hype is to be believed, this will be a hugely popular piece of kit, likely to make handheld tablet devices more affordable to the mass market.

After making a big splash in the US, Amazon’s Kindle Fire 2 is also soon to be launched in the UK and will go into direct competition with the Google Nexus 7. With so many tablets newly launching in the UK this year, it looks as though you might be spoilt for choice – and this is one gift that your significant other is sure to love, whether they’ll use their tablet for playing games, reading the latest bestsellers or even simply browsing the web.

If you’re planning on hitting the shops in search of the perfect gift for your boyfriend, make your money go further with rewards cards from American Express UK. With an American Express rewards card, you can earn membership reward points on virtually every purchase you make, which can be redeemed in exchange for a fantastic range of exclusive rewards, including experience days and flights.
