20 random facts about me


I have seen so many of my fave bloggers doing this tag and I love reading them because I'm such a nosey person! So I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. I can't think of 50 things about myself because I'm no where near that interesting, so I'll stick to 20!

  1. My full name is Hannah Jayne Sinclair. I really don't like my name. I have the most common and boring first and middle names ever. I've had two best friends with the same name... that shows how common it is. 
  2. I have just turned seventeen, horray for me. 
  3. I have six cats and two dogs; I really am more a cat person though. I will probably be the old woman with hundreds of little kitties everywhere.
  4. I'm full of useless movie trivia.
  5. I love anything to do with the sea: sharks, mermaids, whales, anything. I think I should have been born a mermaid, because I'm a total waterbaby.
  6. I make lists for everything because I love being organised.
  7. I'm really tiny, not even five foot and have size 3 feet. 
  8. I'm doing a-levels in English literature, history and sociology. 
  9. I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks, and didn't go to school for 3 years, because it got so bad. It really annoys me how people don't realise how much it can affect someone's life.
  10. I've never ever broken a bone (touch wood).
  11. I shaved the side of my hair twice, I don't regret it but growing it out isn't fun. 
  12. I saw Noel Fielding in Camden market, biggest cliché ever but still greatest thing.
  13. I used to have nine piercings, I still have seven of them
  14. I love everything about the 1940s and 1950s
  15. I have really varied music taste, but I have a huge love for acoustic music
  16. I absolutely love buying stationary, I'm obsessed and people tell me off for buying it, especially when I don't need it! 
  17. I'm the most organised person and the biggest neat freak ever
  18. I'm petrified of snakes, I can't even see them on TV or pictures, they make me feel so scared I cry.
  19. I want to be a teacher, or work for a museum (preferably the V&A or the Imperial War)
  20. I constantly want to change my room, it's never quite how I want it to look

L'oreal Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray


Salt spray seems to be the new big thing, and I was curious about how good it was. So when I popped into Tesco and saw this on offer, I couldn't resist. Naturally, I have curly hair but it gets too tangled and messy without brushing. When I brush it though, the curls drop out. I thought this would be great to just give my hair more volume and that perfectly messy look.

I applied this dry hair and sorta ruffled it, just to give it some texture/volume. It instantly gave a beach-wave look, which is exactly what I wanted. I really liked how it gave my hair a little extra something. However, it did start looking like a mess later on but that could've been the wind though.

Overall, I did really like the product. It didn't really like the feel of the product on my hair, but I liked the results. The thing that I disliked most about this product was the smell, it smelt kind of like alcohol, which isn't great. I will use this again! I will probably apply it to damp hair and twist my hair round my fingers, like it suggests next time though.


p.s. how just brilliantly cute is this hair bow that my friend Khanada made for my birthday?! You can also wear them as bow ties, but I love it clipped on the front of a high ballet bun!

Ryan Gosling, hello. You should check out her etsy for some really beautiful handmade pieces from her and her Esme!


Do you think salt spray is as good as everyone says?

Barratts' Floral Wellingtons



These wellies are super cute! With a Cath Kidson inspired floral print, who can say no? They are perfect for this time of year with all the snow! For only £15, they are such good quality. They feel so much comfier than my Hunter wellies, which can feel a little tight on my feet/legs. I've fallen in love with these, and now I'm hoping for more snow so I can wear them!

Birthday Wishlist

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

On Saturday the 26th, I will be 17! I can tell excited you all are for me... I've usually got pages after pages of thing I want for my birthday, but this year not so much. I am totally in love with these Topshop sunglasses, they're so fifties and seventies inspired. They'll be perfecto for my holiday. I really want to see whether Urban Decay deserve the hype, so I thought the Naked palette would be a good way to try it. How cute is the little apron? I love baking, and always end up with flour and icing all over me because I don't have an apron. Well done H&M your home department is on point. I can't resist studs, can anyone? This little coin purse is so adorable. Of course there has to be nail polishes on my wishlist, you can never own too many!

p.s. I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I've been sorting my blog out and I'll be getting a new camera for my birthday so I promise I will be better!x
