A while back when Katie from Cheerz contacted me to see if I'd like to try out some of the photo printing products that they have available, I was so excited. Photos are my favourite thing to decorate a room - they are so personal and can bring back many a happy memory. And after a long summer of travelling, I had lots of photos that I wanted printed! With my discount code, you too can print photos of all different styles to fill your house (code at the bottom)!

The Cheerz website is super slick and easy to use. Everything is laid out so that you can find your way without a problem. From magnets to boxes, and posters to albums - you have a big choice to make, especially now that there's Christmas prints available too. Once you've picked your product, you can get to chose your photos from all your different sources - facebook, instagram, computer, dropbox... where ever you've uploaded those special moments. Once you've made the tough call, and decided which ones have made the cut, you then get the choice of which background you want the photos to be printed on, and to add some text depending the chosen box. By clicking on each photo you can zoom, crop and add filters so that edit to your hearts content.

The Cheerz Christmas Box

You can pick 30 photos to add to this little box, and customise them. I loved this little keep sake, so decided to fill it with pictures of my family.






La Boite A Photos

This one I'm excited to try my hand at as it involves more arts and crafts. This box is filled with 40 of your own photos, photo corners, string, patterned sellotape, and some pegs in a little bag. Here you can get as creative as you want, and I can't wait to hang my photos from the string to remind me of all the amazing places I've visited so far.





So what are you waiting for... what's even better is that you can use this code to get £4 off of your order, so long as you spend more than £8! It's such a great deal! These are lovely personalised gifts that would be perfect if you're looking for something thoughtful to give this Christmas.

Last week I went along to a wee Body Shop event, after mi Edinburgh extended an invite to the community of Edinburgh Bloggers. The 'VIP' Event allowed us to shop with a glass of fizz in hand, munching on some christmas cookies and get to know the stock. They also gave us an offer to get some discounted products, which sent my heart a flutter and my legs into over drive to get around each and every stall.

One of the products that caught my eye was the concealer crayon. Now being a girl who still hasn't perfected a skin care routine (although that is in progress, thanks to The Body Shop again) and has stubborn bags under her eyes - I am always open to trying a new concealer.



I was instantly interested by the look of it. A big, fat crayon that you can actually draw on your face with? The inner child in me squealed with delight! The packaging feel smooth, and all that's needed is a big sharpen so that you can keep getting more and more out of this product. Its like the gift that keeps giving!



The coverage is good. I'll admit that it does feel a little cakey on my under eyes - but I am yet to perfect the quantity needed. It covers blemishes and pesky spots well, although by the end of the day it has rubbed off slightly. Maybe this is due to the amount of time I spend covering my face as I cry over essays at the library.



Overall, I'm impressed with this product. Its been ages since I've used a stick concealer - for a few years Collection Lasting Perfection has been my go-to, but now I feel like I've found a new staple in my make up bag.

It's a little bit more expensive than my normal drug store purchases are - at £9 a pop. However, I feel that this crayon will last for much longer than normal concealers, making it well worth the purchase. And the most probable repurchase after that!

This week is the start of a new post - every Friday I'm going to be posting a food related post. Whether it be a 'What I Ate', a restaurant review or a new recipe - you'll be getting some food on you screen every Friday.

So this week, I thought I'd keep things basic with a classic 'What I Ate Post'. This is typically what I eat most days, of course my dinners vary, but I usually stick to some quick and easy meals that suit my student budget.

Breakfast

I like to have a healthy breakfast that will keep me going throughout the morning, and save me from snacking. I've started to really love having porridge, its quick and is warm for these cold mornings. To add a little bit of flavour, I sprinkle some cinnamon over it - just to give it a Christmassy taste!





Lunch 

As one of my attempts to get healthy, I've been filling my whole seed wrap with a bit of mayo, some spinach, ham, peppers and tomatoes. Full of flavour and goodness. I follow up my sandwich with tangerine.



Dinner

For my dinner, I was a little bit more adventurous. I oven cooked a chicken breast in garlic butter, and 5 minutes before it was done, I sprinkled bread crumbs over it.  Alongside it, I made a cous cous, some carrots, peppers and cooked spinach and had a blob of green pesto too. I must say that this has been one of my better meals I've made while at uni!



Of course, like anyone else I do snack  - and as my grandma sent me back to Edinburgh with a tub of roses chocolates, I did have a few of those while watching a film that night.

Have a look at my other recipes I've posted on my blog too!
