Topshop, do you want to be friends?

I've always had a pretty hate/hate relationship with Topshop.

I hated her for not stocking 'larger' sizes and she hated me in return by not stocking 'larger' sizes. It got to a point where I would just avoid going in to save myself the embarrassment of trying to squeeze my fat rolls into there clothes and looking like a pig in a blanket, albeit a sparkly tight blanket which I would have rocked the shit out of.

Whilst waiting to meet my mum last Friday, after a wee meet and greet with Mr Leighton Denny! (You can read all about that soon enough!) she asked to meet outside Topshop and for once I got there early. I stood outside for a few minutes scowling at Topshop like an ex I'm on bad terms with until I could no longer contain myself.

Yet another 4 item mini-haul

I suppose you could count these things as my reward for not smoking for 6 months (I wrote a wee post about it yesterday)

Everytime Poundland stock Stila products, I get excited, have a rummage and then I'm quite dismayed as they never have a pale enough looking shade (it's usually 'e' that I find) however this time I found 'a' so I'm assuming it's the palest shade they do. Either that or they've made an Alana shade, just for me...

I was quite surprised to find that you got a wee pad with this, I assumed it would only be the refill powder but nope, wee extra there!

Everyone and their maw has heard of Lipcote so I don't really need to say too much about it. My most vivid memory of it is stealing some of my mother's when I was younger and slathering it on, it stung so freaking much! Hopefully it's not as stingy as I remember it!

This is the rough skin remover that's in the first picture, I thought I should maybe pick some up as the state of my feet is shocking! I'm totally blaming it on work. By the time you read this post (it's scheduled) I will have covered my feet in this, then moisturiser and wrapped them in clingfilm then socks on and sleep. I've been promised that the clingfilm trick works so it bloody better!

It's a lovely 'bitty' formula and smells of menthol and peppermint, two scents I associate with foot products. I'll update you all more once I've used this a couple times. I have high hopes!

6 MONTH QUITIVERSARY

That's right folks, I haven't smoked for 6 months, half a year, 182(.6) days. FUCK YES. 

I am so freaking chuffed with myself for making it this far but I've not done it alone, my beautiful friend A also gave up on the same day. She writes a blog over at myfightwithmyflab and I'd totally recommend you give it a read. She's quite the funny writer although it is a bit graphic so you've been warned!

I've survived nights out, birthdays, grieving and still not caved so I think it's safe to say I'm all good on the no smoking front! Not going to lie, I still get the urge (especially after a few drinks) but I just sit quietly and think about how disappointed I would be with myself if I did take even just one draw. 

So here's to the next 6 months and then I'll be celerbrating a whole year smoke free!

Have any of you quit or planning to quit? Did you go 'cold turkey' or use cessations? Lemme know below!
