Cruelty Free Bargain Beauty

Cruelty Free Bargain Beauty Beauty products and make up are items that many women (and some men) love to use on a daily basis, whether its simply to cover up a pesky spot or to go full glam with a smoky eye and contour, there's a beauty product available to meet your every need!

A personal favourite destination is Gdansk in Poland! Me and five friends recently visited the  beautiful city and accommodation, flights and spending money for three days amounted to only £150! More popular of destinations such as Paris will make a far more significant dent on yo

This weeks post will focus on something which is often viewed as mundane and boring but which if done properly can save you a lot of time, money and effort! The supermarket shop is something we all do however the way we shop differs vastly. Having worked in a supermarket myself as well as being a student on a tight budget I have collected 6 top tips which can help you save on your next food shop... so let's get down to it. 1. Up first is a tip people often don't think about when doing their food shop, you see the item you've been looking for, reach for the first one you see and put it in the basket. A great tip to help you cut down on waste and save money however is to ALWAYS check the use by date.

From reducing the price of your weekly food shop, to all the tips you need for a budget holiday abroad, this is the place to come for all the dollar saving hacks you could ever need. Before the money saving tips commence however I thought I'd tell you a bit about me in 3 facts: 1. I'm 20 years old and as crazy as it sounds honestly feel like I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis already! I have no idea what career I want to pursue, I have no idea if my degree will help me in any aspect of adult life and like many 20 year olds I feel  totally out of depth in the adult world incapable of dealing with every day 'adult' tasks such as paying bills and dealing with landlords, but
