Because I travel quite a bit and can't carry around a huge make-up bag I keep it really simple, also because I don't buy make-up very often and I have really bad skin I buy mostly higher end make-up, which can be expensive but I personally feel it's worth it. As you can tell my favorite make-up company is Benefit and almost everything I own is from them, I am completely in love with their make up.<br />

I am definitely a shop-a-holic and it's just not a good scene. I spend way too much on clothing and shoes and other pretty things I just don't really need (although they are fun to have). Also as an environmental studies major it really stresses me out to think about how much I am contributing to the production of more stuff and let's face it, the majority of stores I shop at are not even remotely fair trade or eco friendly. This makes me feel like a walking contradiction because I am studying for a career in conservation and here I am consciously contributing to the problem. This is why I have decided to change my shopping ways, for at least the rest of the year I am not going to buy any items of clothing or shoes unless they are sold from a fair trade eco-friendly clothing line OR thrifted/off ebay or etsy. I am hoping by doing this at the end of the year I will have a little extra cash in my pocket and a little less guilt about my shopping habits. Its a win win!<br />

Cool right? One of the many hidden treasures of Exeter! At its narrowest point its only 62 cm wide! The first narrowest is Spreuerhofstrabe in Germany which is only 30 centimeters at its narrowest which is crazy, kind of makes you wonder if someone just decided to start calling a gap between buildings a street, no?<br />
Heres a few pictures of it I stole off google.<br />

A little suspicious if you ask me..<br />

Anyway on to more important things like fun with nail polish! I am a big fan of matte nail polish and today I found out they sell clear matte finish nail polish, score! So I bought some and was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked.<br />

As you guys know I have already done my fair share of traveling this year and A LOT of people ask how the hell I afford all this. Well its obvious that traveling isn't cheap but I have picked up a few tips on how to make it easier on your bank account so I figured I would share them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRMkxv3ObFItv6gultZxVRinX4O5zDwXQS03r7NLTHuak2kEgAiKFTY91Y29k7ABqPPWmfslRiYrQH6bWKPH2AUgN1ZhBGWkXQpfJFxtzwqIPMTIjtwQ3tTSdM487qg-PgBEF8uKb4alg/s1600/68257_436700768238_504648238_4907717_7711054_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRMkxv3ObFItv6gultZxVRinX4O5zDwXQS03r7NLTHuak2kEgAiKFTY91Y29k7ABqPPWmfslRiYrQH6bWKPH2AUgN1ZhBGWkXQpfJFxtzwqIPMTIjtwQ3tTSdM487qg-PgBEF8uKb4alg/s640/68257_436700768238_504648238_4907717_7711054_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
1. <b>Research, research, research! </b>I know that this seems obvious but doing a lot of research is the best way to save on your trip. You should research everything from your accommodation, to the sights, museums etc you want to see to where you are going to eat. My favorite tool for finding good and cheap accommodation is <a href="http://www.hostelworld.com/">www.hostelworld.com </a>. This is such a great tool for anyone traveling on a budget. It allows you to find hostels and budget hotels in what ever city you are going to and tells you everything you hope to know about them. You can also make an account and make all your bookings online and it keeps track of everywhere you have been plus allows you to talk to other travelers. My favorite thing on it is the reviews of accommodation that users write they are so helpful and thanks to this website I have avoided quite a few dodgy hostels! Also remember that everything is online now a days so instead of buying a bunch of expensive guidebooks just look it up online. Be sure to research all the museums and other things you want to do because there is usually a day of the week that its cheaper or even free. <br />
<br />
<b>2. Always be aware of discounts offered. </b>One of the great things about Europe is that if you are under 25 or a student almost everywhere you go you get a discount. Seriously don't be shy to ask if there is a student discount because there most likely is and a few euros off here and there really adds up.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Avoid taking taxis at all costs because they are expensive!! </b>This can be tricky because when you first arrive in a new city it can be very overwhelming and trying to figure out a new transit system can seem impossible. So make sure at the very least you know what bus/tram/or subway will take you to your accommodation from where you are arriving. If you booked on <a href="http://www.hostelworld.com/">www.hostelworld.com</a> then it will tell you! As long as you can get to your accommodation then they will give you a map and answer any questions about the transit system you may have and hopefully you wont need a taxi at all! Also when buying transit tickets try to buy a pass based on the amount of time you will be there. Every city I have been to offers a 3 day and week long pass which will save you money. Please don't compromise your safety to save money either, if you are coming back late at night or you get lost in a bad neighborhood etc obviously you should take a taxi, make sure you use your head. <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>4. Take full advantage of supermarkets wherever you are! </b>This is one of the ways I saved the most while traveling. Almost everything I ate was either a free breakfast or groceries from a supermarket. Food is expensive and eating out all the time will drain your bank account quicker then you can imagine. Stock up on snacks and fresh fruit, bread to make sandwiches, and of course beer and you should be set! Try to only eat out once a day and if you go out then drink before hand so that you only need to buy one drink at the bar or club you are going to. I know part of the fun of traveling is eating out so try to set a strict budget for food for eating out and stick to it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><b>5. Avoid buying souvenirs when possible.</b> I know how fun it is to go crazy in a gift shop (which are attached to every tourist location you could imagine), but do you really need that ridiculously over priced key chain shaped like the Eiffel Tower? Do you really need to buy a tacky t-shirt for your uncle? No probably not, so just avoid them whenever possible. If your backpacking you probably won't have much room for them anyway.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Pack for the weather! </b>Obvious right? Maybe not If you are traveling in the winter, bring warm clothes! You may have been checking the weather of your destination everyday and it seems warm enough so you ditch your hat, mitts and scarf in favor of fitting that cute dress into your bag (which you may or may not end up wearing). Well don't do that because weather can change and BAM before you know it a huge snowstorm! Haha trust me, I know! So just pack smart because having to buy warmer clothes while your on your trip is a big dent in the bank account. And I would suggest no matter what time of year you pack an umbrella and just a light rain jacket. They don't take up much space and make sight seeing in the rain much more enjoyable!<br />
<br />
<b>7. Avoid tourist traps. </b>Try your best before you go to research some favorite local bars and restaurants in the city you are going to. I can almost guarantee the food will be half the price and twice as good.<br />
<br />
Well there are a few tips for you, like I said traveling is not cheap but if you put in the time to do proper research and planning and stick to your budget there is no reason to break the bank!<br />

If you love Matthew Grey Gubler (which lets face it if you're a girl you probably do) or if you love Criminal Minds you have to go watch these clips as soon as you can! You won't regret it, they are actually hilarious. Also Matthew Grey Gubler is adorable.<br />

It's a hard thing to miss someone so fiercely and I have a hard time talking about it to anyone even my dad and sister. What do you say? To say I miss and love her doesn't seem like enough, talking about memories is usually to difficult, people say 'you should remember the good times' but that just makes me angry because we deserved so many more good (and bad) times together, she deserved so much more time. People say 'you shouldn't be angry, you can't think like that' but why shouldn't I think like that it's the truth and it's how I feel. I can smile and act like I am okay that I am strong and I could write a post filled with happy memories (which is what I started to do) but I had to stop. My heart aches for her everyday, she didn't deserve the pain she carried with her, no body does. My mother was one of a kind she was beautiful and funny and so full of love for her 3 children. If you knew my mom please take a few minutes today to remember her. I really don't know how to finish this post, like I said the words just aren't there so I will just say please remember depression is treatable, and no one should ever lose another parent or sibling or child to suicide.Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05324036025520664117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766689247654175240.post-9306127300444441702011-02-12T06:54:00.001+00:002011-02-12T07:15:04.700+00:00The Great Valentines Debate.I think Valentines day is one of the most debated holidays there is. People seem to either really love it or really hate it, and since I am one of those hopeless romantics who adores the holiday I am going to write a little post about why maybe you should embrace it this year. I have heard the old 'it's a commercial holiday, used only to make money/everyday should be Valentines Day' debate a hundred times. And I agree that yes it is a very commercial holiday, but so it Christmas and Easter and Halloween and I don't see everyone boycotting them. And I agree too that it would be awesome if everyday were Valentines Day, but lets face it that is not the case. We so often take the people we love and care about for granted, and forget to show our appreciation for them. To me Valentines Day is a reminder to do just that, not necessarily just you're significant other but anyone in your life you care about. So this year why don't you give a friend or parent you haven't spoken to in a while a call, or do something to make a stranger smile. Just remember to spread some love to everyone in your life this Valentines Day, because it might mean more to them then you think.<br />

And then by the end of the day I was damn near crying because my feet were so cold, oops I guess summer footwear won't be appropriate for at least another month or two. I am tired of boots though, and my sneakers got left behind in Paris. I know, I have such problems in my life.Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05324036025520664117noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766689247654175240.post-50217350321688833262011-01-31T21:22:00.000+00:002011-02-02T23:42:37.183+00:00A mini update.So I have been neglecting this little blog of mine pretty solidly the last week or two. Oops! I have just been busy with classes, pub trips, a few impromptu trips to London with a few of my flat mates, etc. I have also been devouring novels like it is my job lately. This past week I have read The Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye and Slaughterhouse 5. Yeah I have been really into reading classic novels lately for some reason soo if anyone wants to send me a novel or two for Valentines day I would love you to pieces :) I can send you a few in return! I adore my classes this semester! I am taking The Monsters of Geography, Climate, Environment and Society Interactions, Living Natures and Animal Geographies. The latter two are my favorites! Plus we are going on a field trip to the zoo where my good friend Alex works soon which is going to be so fun(Universities in England are huge on field trips, I have already been on three). In other news that beautiful little sister of mine is all booked in to head this way for her March break! We are going to hang around England for a few days then head to Paris and I am sosososo excited! For those of you who don't know my sister is really cool so naturally we are going to have an awesome time! Thats it for now but I have plans for a few more posts this week so I will do my best, happy Monday everyone!Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05324036025520664117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766689247654175240.post-8057247403499352802011-01-20T19:25:00.000+00:002011-02-02T23:42:37.184+00:00Into The Wild.Well I just finished reading Into the Wild, I have never seen the movie but have heard good things about it so I figured that book would probably be good as well. For those of you who don't know its a book based on the life of Chris McCandless. After graduating from university he donated his entire savings (around $30,000) to charity, changed his name to 'Alex Supertramp' and began a nomadic life. He spent a few years travelling around America mostly hitch hiking meeting other people living similar lifestyles and picking up odd jobs when necessary. His dream was to go on a "Great Alaskan Odessy' as he called it which he did in April 1992. He hitched his way to Alaska and made his way into the wilderness with only a 10 pound bag of rice, a rifle, some books and a bit of gear. His remains were found 5 months later in an old bus used by hunters and the autopsy reports revealed he had starved to death nearly a month before his body was found. The novel is very well written but reads like an essay of which the authors main thesis is to prove that Chris McCandless was not mentally ill but instead noble for this daring act. Obviously this is a controversial topic it seems that people either respect McCandless for what he did or think of him as an ignorant and ill prepared young man who got what he deserved. I'm not going to tell you what I think because I think you should read the book yourself and form an opinion (then we can have discussions about it ;) ). My main problem with the book was how the author spent more then a few chapters going on about trips he himself had taken to Alaska trying to compare himself and his adventures to that of McCandless. He went on and on about how much alike they were (even though they had never even met in real life), he even compared their relationships with their fathers. I almost got the sense that the author was using McCandless life and death as a way to bring attention to himself because a big part of the book was about himself which kind of annoyed me. There's so much more I have to say about this book but I am hoping someone will read it first then we can compare notes! Let me know if you do or if you have already read it! :)Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05324036025520664117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766689247654175240.post-56170517047261561422011-01-19T16:01:00.000+00:002011-02-02T23:40:24.296+00:00Exeter Castle.I don't have class on Wednesdays (yay, hooray, yippee!!) So I decided to spend part of today exploring the Exeter Castle, its literally 2 seconds away from the city center but it feels like your walking into another world! The castle is huge and built out of beautiful old stones covered in bright green moss, so lovely! And its surrounded by beautiful lush gardens and hidden walking paths. It is certainly my new favorite place in Exeter. Also the weather lately has been unbelievable! So bright and sunny, the air is still cool and crisp but I have to remind myself its January, this would be April or May weather in Canada! Anyway here are a few pictures I put some on facebook as well.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katekenzie/5369753451/" title="Exeter Castle by kate.harding.kate, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5207/5369753451_8d7c6ee4d0.jpg" width="500" height="455" alt="Exeter Castle" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katekenzie/5370360406/" title="Exeter Castle by kate.harding.kate, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5046/5370360406_1a487bc480.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="Exeter Castle" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katekenzie/5369752807/" title="Exeter Castle by kate.harding.kate, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5124/5369752807_4da42b6a2b.jpg" width="500" height="378" alt="Exeter Castle" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katekenzie/5370359370/" title="Exeter Castle by kate.harding.kate, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5005/5370359370_d44ac382e2.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="Exeter Castle" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katekenzie/5369751871/" title="Exeter Castle by kate.harding.kate, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5202/5369751871_d32d738598.jpg" width="334" height="500" alt="Exeter Castle" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/katekenzie/5370358538/" title="Exeter Castle by kate.harding.kate, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5163/5370358538_526781bdde.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="Exeter Castle" /></a>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05324036025520664117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766689247654175240.post-58079371472571001112011-01-12T11:06:00.000+00:002011-02-02T23:42:37.184+00:00Got me a bike!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/56494850@N03/5348813159/" title="hybridwscaled by kate.harding.kate, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/5348813159_1428a1e003.jpg" width="469" height="280" alt="hybridwscaled" /></a><br /><br />I know what you're thinking..that looks like it belongs to a 12 year old girl well this is even more true is you saw it in real life. But I think maybe that will come in handy I mean no one is going to want to steal a 12 year olds bike especially one with purple flowers all over it..also it was the cheapest one I could find and I didn't know it looked like that till I bought it! Oh well its already making my life sooo much easier (Exeter buses are the worst and walking everywhere blows) so I can handle looking a little dorky on my purple bike. Yay bikes!Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05324036025520664117noreply@blogger.com0
