In September, myself and seventy-six others made our way to North Wales for a four day Geography Trip. The sole purpose of this trip was to collect data for our coursework. So in other words, seventy-seven students from Greater London trudged over to North Wales, to dig up some soil and put in it a microwave for a few minutes; why? Because data collection. 

Although the trip involved early mornings and hard work, followed by more work and even later evenings, the trip itself was a lot better than expected. Although we did have very low expectations... But in between the bagging of soil and the measuring of gradients, there were a few very lovely moments spent with lovely people who I have had the joy of knowing for the past five years.  

Despite being in one of the most remote, signal-less, wifi-less spots in North Wales, the trip itself was quite refreshing. I suppose there's something about sitting on a sand dune amongst prickly marram grass in the pouring rain with your geography class that's slightly pleasant. And I think it's fair to say that I now understand the phrase 'soggy sandwiches' on a very personal level!

Wales is such a beautiful place. We stayed in Snowdonia National Park and the sites there were so scenic and picturesque! I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to visit Wales as I had never been before and I know many people have very little opportunity to travel and visit new places.

So although the trip was utterly exhausting, it is one I will never forget as we had so many lovely moments of playing cards and going to bed late and taking selfies and drawing in the sand with poles and hiking up dunes and falling down them again just for the sake of collecting some soil.

This Lavender & Tea Tree Moisturising Face Lotion by AA Skincare is advertised to be a light, easily absorbed lotion to moisturise, tone and restore skin. It is also said to be ideal for spot prone and blemished skin yet suitable for all skin types. The product comes in a 100ml plastic bottle with a plastic pump and plastic lid and sells for £6.96.

My Thoughts // The product smells great; the Tea Tree comes across quite strong and there are subtle hints of lavender. The consistency of the product was thinner than I expected as I usually use really thick, heavy moisturisers but I really liked the lightness of the product. Considering the consistency of the lotion, you only need to use one pump of the bottle and that will be plenty to smooth onto your face and neck. The lotion sinks in relatively quickly (five minutes or so) and gently soothes the skin. I usually apply the product and then brush my teeth to give it time to fully sink in before applying my makeup.

I've been using the Face Lotion after I cleanse my face in the morning and evening and I have been using it as a replacement of my moisturiser. 

The Lotion is paraben free and contains ingredients such as Tea Tree oil to clear the skin of spots and bacteria, Rosehip Oil to help rejuvenate the skin, and Sunflower Oil which is high in Vitamin E which helps to keep skin feeling soft.

I was really impressed with this lotion as it's really light on the skin and it's really refreshing. The Tea Tree really attacks the size of spots and although the redness of blemishes still remain, the product does really well to minimize the size of spots. 

I honestly do think this product is worth the money as it is paraben free and is in a typical drugstore price range.

I really like this jacket as its perfect for the autumn that has just started to sweep over the UK. Its lightweight and the fabric is thin and is suitable to wear over a top or thin jumper underneath. As the fabric of the jacket is so thin, however, I wouldn't wear this in winter as it wouldn't be warm enough!

The khaki jacket sells for £44.99 but is currently reduced to £24.99, therefore saving you £20!

I love the toggle draw cord fastenings at the waist. The string gives the jacket a pop of colour, and by pulling it in at the waist, the coat looks really flattering.

The fabric is 100% cotton which makes the jacket really soft and comfortable to wear. The coat sits high on my thighs and the sleeves come to just below my wrists. I'm 5ft 4 and a teabag in height and I'm wearing a size S (small) and I usually wear a size 8/10 in jumpers and coats.
