(Not-so-)Weekly Favourites

Hello my lovelies!

It's a time of peace again! I finally have a chance to share with you just what I'm loving this week/month: reviews, recommendations and whatnot all included ^_^

Shot glasses. However, not used in the conventional way but rather a student savvy way. I discovered one meal time that I had no room on my plate for a puddle of ketchup and craved for a pot to put the sauce in when I suddenly spied my little collection of colourful shot glasses which I had picked up at Tesco's before heading to uni. Little did I know just how perfect they would also be as sauce pots! A cute and trendy way to have your meal, that's for sure.
I've jumped on the bandwagon recently and got myself an Instagram account and boy-oh-boy do I love it! Whether I'm posting selfies or random snaps I can't get enough of it. You can find the Instagram app on most phones these days for entirely no cost so get downloading and follow me for randomness by searching for tammybecks.
I am love love LOVING bath time at the moment and what better way to bathe than in complete luxury? The Soap&Glory Calm One, Calm All Bubble Bath is the original pink scent which isn't overpowering but rather relaxing and sweet and paired with the Clean on Me Shower Crème it's pure pleasure. The bubble bath is super bubbly (and the bubbles last FOREVER) plus it's like bathing in a pool of silk. Fortunately, it's not too expensive and you can find Soap&Glory bits and pieces in Boots so it's super easy to find in the UK. I have also been loving Lush bath bombs at the moment however simply cannot choose one favourite so I suggest you go along to your local Lush store and choose a scent for yourself.
Railcards are complete lifesavers. I recently renewed my 16-25 Railcard as I took a trip from Chester to York which can be rather expensive but with the 30% off that this railcard gives you it makes life a lot easier - especially as a student with a very tight budget. If you don't have a railcard and find that you use the trains on a regular basis the 16-25 costs around £28 for one year or £70 for 3 however you can get a discount if you have an NUS card OR if you get a Santander student account you get one free!

I do have a very large amount of other exciting loves to share with you however I'm going to put them all in the next post (that way I'll actually have 2 weeks consecutively! .. Maybe) so do come back soon to find out more! 

If you'd like any more details about the things featured in this post, don't hesitate to get in touch by either commenting, sending me a message via the comment form or email me (find all of my contact details here!) aaaand don't forget to like, comment, follow, share etc.

Love you all!

Guess who's on YouTube!

Hello my lovelies! 

Yep, as you may have guessed by the title, I'm now officially on YouTube! It took a whole afternoon of filming with the lovely Meg but my first video is now up and there for your pleasure. It may not be perfect but it's not terrible for a first attempt.

The lighting isn't perfect and I had to edit with Movie Maker because my software decided to crash and the YouTube editor doesn't like my files... but it's finalised and I'm proud of it.

So here it is... Enjoy! 

Please watch. like, comment, share and subscribe. It would mean a lot!

Hello there Mr Sunshine!

Hello my lovelies! 

So I know that Britain doesn't exactly have the best weather.. but lately it's been so lovely and bright outside that anyone would think it's Summer! All this sunshine has got me in a jolly good mood and I'm once more full of energy and motivation. 


Over the Winter months and during cold and dreary weather, if you're anything like me you lose all energy and have little to no effort to do anything. Everything becomes a chore and you just want to vegetate in front of the tv, drinking wine and eating chocolate (and boy oh boy is that the life!) but you do realise that it's not exactly the healthiest way to live so every now and then you'll do something a little active but nothing too out there...
Then comes the sun and suddenly everything is wonderful! I'm fully motivated to be more active, post for you guys, job hunting is much more consistent and work is piling up and getting done rather efficiently. Not only that but rather than spending time sleeping all day (which I do rather love), it's time to get moving and grooving. The gym is back on the scene in a regular manner, yoga becomes a fun time activity and food? Well, it's still not completely healthy, but at least I'm making more of an effort! 


Sure I may not be going out partying as much, but I am spending more time with my gal pals while sober and I'm getting to see more of Chester (as you may have guessed from the picnic post) which is lovely. 

I know this was a rather random post, but I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of these cropping up in the near future...


Also! A huuuuuge thank you to all of you who follow the blog, I have recently hit the first in what I hope will be many milestones with 100 followers on bloglovin! I know right! You guys are simply the best (dun dun dun.. better than all the rest.. *cough* sorry, couldn't resist) and I just love reading and replying to all your emails and messages so please keep on sending them! Find all my contact details here.

Keep an eye out for guest posts in the near future and get in touch if you'd like to feature, aaaand keep an eye out for a few changes around here some time soon as my blog will soon be having a makeover (squeee I'm so excited!), so be prepared!

I love each and every single one of you!
