Sorry for the squinty eyes, it was so sunny yesterday and when I tried to take the photos at the other end of the garden they looked over exposed!

This is what I wore yesterday to attend two BBQs! Yes two, I have now overdosed on meat and do not want to eat another burger in the foreseeable future! The maxi dress and sandals are from last summer. The dress was a complete bargain, I brought it in the River Island sale reduced from £50 to £10! It is a bit tent like but its so comfortable. Perfect for days when im stuffing my face! I am so excited to be pulling out my summer clothes, it feels like I have a whole new wardrobe!

If you follow me on twitter you will be aware that I have managed to get an internship! I am so excited, so much so that I think I phoned everyone in my phone book on Friday to tell them the good news. I will be working for a parenting website based in North London. I will finally be a city girl, I have only ever wanted to work in the city so even though it will only be for 3 months I am going to be achieving one of my dreams! It is based right next to a shopping centre which can only mean bad news to be honest. Hello no more wages! I will still keep my job in retail at the weekends so I won't be completely skint. I also get a little bit of money from the internship so really I will not be any worse off. Still earning the same amount of money. I will be starting either this week or next, eeeeek cannot wait!

I recieved my naked skincare goodies yesterday and they all smell so nice! I love the packaging, it was obvious a lot of time and effort went into it! I used the shampoo and conditioner this morning and am going to try out the hair mask later on in the week. I am going to do a review of the hair mask but if you want reviews of any of the other products just let me know!

What did everyone else get up to over the weekend? Anyone used Naked skincare before?
