It’s been so long that I’m unable to recall when I last presented you with a haul post, so I’m bursting with excitement to publish this post today, especially as there’s also a situation of which threw in a little added euphoria for myself. So exactly what mischief have I been engaging in this time?



After experiencing a seizure for the first time last night I’m understandably feeling rather out of sorts today, therefore I hope you’ll understand my wanting to keep today’s post relatively brief. Evidently I have been shopping, it’s been a long time coming let me tell you! There’s a few bits and bobs I’ve been wanting to pick up so I decided to venture to the Crown Point in Leeds, followed by the White Rose Centre. I’ll get right in with my purchases but first, as any Pokemon Go players will know, it’s ridiculously exciting when you acquire something new for your Pokedex. Whilst travelling between the two destinations via Dewsbury Road I found a Jigglypuff, also if you’re from Leeds; how many Pokestops are there in Beeston? Seriously?! I’m astounded, also slightly disheartened to discover that the pub my friend had her wedding party at a week ago is actually one of the many Pokestops.. I could have been stocking up on much needed balls at the same time, dammit!




All of the above were from Hobbycraft and I’m extremely enthusiastic about using them soon for an upcoming post, keep your eyes peeled!




I got two of the cups, of course, one for Echo and Eden to share and the other for Lennon. I can assure you this is fair, since Eden is already overweight due to being a lazy lummox! They’re SO big, smell delightful (can I actually be a rabbit, I want a taste!) and honestly well worth the money, I’d have expected something like that to be £8 at least, not £4 per cup. The muffins are for my little babies, Chase, Chance and Jeremiah! Mommy couldn’t buy herself treats without bringing anything home for her children now, could she?!





Of course no shopping trip is complete without a trip to Primark and considering that my current mascara and liner is almost completely used up it were actually a requirement! The jumper has a beautiful fleece lining on the inside which is perfect to snuggle up in and the vest has astounded me, with the original price of £5 but being marked down to £3 in the sales it were already a bargain, so to arrive home and discover that actually it only cost me £1, well I’m speechless! The heels I simply adore, I have the same pair in a brown colour but when I saw these in my current favourite burgundy colour, well I have two words - MUST HAVE!




Due to losing my lip ring earlier this year and since then losing a lip bar also, I really needed to purchase a replacement. Claire’s do have lip bars but I wanted a ring specifically therefore I’m cheating a little and opted for the cartilage rings instead, since there’s barely any size difference at all. Whilst doing so an impulse notion formed inside my head... What about getting my cartilage pierced whilst I’m here? Within seconds I found myself looking at the different studs available, choosing my birth stone and somehow appeared in a chair ready for the piercing to take place. Of course depending on the jewellery of choice this presents a difference in price, I’m really happy with mine. No, it doesn’t hurt, I barely even felt anything and it’s just cute as a button, or a birth stone, whatever. Gotta love spontaneity! Oh and I received a 20% reduction in the earrings due to a voucher given to me after the piercing, therefore shaving off £1.80 from the total of the rings.




Do I ever have a haul post without a couple of books thrown in? The above are all of course, as usual, from Asda, with After You and Fool Me Once being a part of the 2 for £7 deal. I’ve wanted to get my hands on After You for SO long therefore seeing it there, just waiting for me, it were perfect and an absolute necessity! Speaking of necessity - Harry Potter. I simply had to, didn’t I? This enchanting example of course isn’t included in the 2 for £7 deal, obviously, and is retailing at Asda for £10.


Is there anything of which caught your eye? Have you been pondering any piercings yourself? If you’d like to ask any questions then please don’t hesitate, likewise if you’d just like to chat then I’d adore that too! My apologies for a less talkative post today although I’m sure you’re able to appreciate the reason why.

Two things today, firstly a mini book haul, it’s been a while, right? Secondly - the perfect opportunity to get somewhat involved with an upcoming blog post.. I can sense a poll coming along!



It’s been an incredibly long time since I published my last book review (to read this please see ‘My Map of You’), due to the current chaos of which is my life recently I’ve also found that it’s been just as long since I’ve had the chance to relax with a good book! This greatly perturbs me but fear not because I will sample a book again very soon and I want you to help me decide which! Below are the blurbs for each of the above books and I’m holding a Twitter poll to determine the next on my reading list, of course this means one thing... Book review!





Is there anything in this list of which you’ve been wanting to read yourself? Now is your chance to get me to give it a test drive first! Be sure to head over to my Twitter (@Disaster_Davis) and get voting, the poll will close in seven days, on Tuesday 9th August at approximately 7:40PM GMT .

I’m sure we’ve all at least heard of Boohoo by now, if not, are you even on this planet? The widespread popularity of this particular online clothing retailer is astonishing and with only a couple of days in which to find an exceptional yet not too pricey outfit I figured it were finally the time to climb onto the Boohoo Bandwagon!


I’m one of those people of whom is incredibly cautious when shopping online and especially when using somewhere new, usually finding myself a little jumbled due to returns policies, size guides and the other usual suspects! Will the item fit? Is it a reputable and safe retailer? How difficult or costly will returns be in the event that my order is nothing alike that of which is portrayed on the site? I’m able to spend an infinite amount of time over analysing the answers to these questions and many more, before finally missing out on fantastic offers and sales or simply not having the audacity to take the risk and order that dream dress from somewhere I’ve yet to buy from. After a little contemplation, lack of time and the urgency to acquire a new outfit for my friends birthday celebrations, I had no other option but  to finally take the plunge and oh, how I’m delighted that I did. So, just what exactly are my reasons for my new found obsession?




I stumbled upon the above pieces in the sale section and were initially dubious about them based on the fact I would be unable to wear a bra with them. I took the risk regardless and I’m thoroughly ecstatic for having done so. Both outfits exceeded my expectations rather than being compromised. It turns out that overall I’m elated with the company and I will definitely be buying from Boohoo again, I couldn’t recommend them enough! I would like to add that I made the choice of buying these and I have in no way been pressured or influenced into giving a positive review, all views in this post and throughout the rest of my blog are and will always be my own, I am in no way affiliated with the company.


Have you had the pleasure of experiencing Boohoo yet? I’d love to hear all about your own experiences. Do you have any other recommendations for me?

This is expected to be another short and sweet post as my spending has been rather limited between being consistently underpaid by work and the fact that I've been on a shed hunt. I have however allowed myself a few things this month and I bet you could have a rather accurate guess at what may be included. too



As I said, this haul has proven incredibly sparse, obviously there had to be a book purchase involved though, is it even possible for me to go a whole month without buying literature? I hope to have a little splurge on new cosmetics sometime soon, once I have stabilised my finances, exciting times ahead! Have you read any of the above books? I’d love to know of your personal thoughts before I get a chance to dive in myself. As stated above, I'm currently on a shed hunt therefore if you know of anywhere with great value on quality sheds then I’d love to hear from you, leave me a comment below!

The title of this post says it all really and I'm pretty certain that you've guessed... Yes, today is another haul. I just can’t contain myself so it seems!




As you will have picked up above, there’s currently a promotional offer in Boots on many of the different cosmetics lines. I'm unsure about every different brand, although on the Max Factor and Bourjois they’re currently offering three for two, the cheapest being the item you get for free. I took advantage of this on my Bourjois products, getting one of the felt-tip liners for free! If you would like to know anything more about any of my purchases then please don’t hesitate to ask me, you can contact me on any of my social media’s linked to the right or simply leave me a comment on this post!

It may be appropriate for me right now to consider rehab for my ever developing shopping obsession, I’m turning into a first rate purchase monster! The following items are from the past month collectively, of course not including that of from my previous haul “Shopping and Gelato Date”. On reflection there doesn’t seem to be much here although this is due to the fact it’s my Mother’s birthday soon therefore my shopping focus has been on stock piling her birthday presents, rather than too many treats for myself!



As always it’s been a pleasure for me to share my finds with you, has there been anything of which has grasped your attention? If you would be interested in a review of any of the above books then please do let me know and of course, don’t forget to keep an eye out for next week’s monthly favourites where I will be featuring the above Bourjois item!
