November Favourites :D

Hey Guys!

How are we all?? 
I actually can't believe that it's actually December tomorrow, I mean I haven't even got an advent calendar yet...crap.

Well, because it's the last day of the month it's only right for a favourites and although I've been doing my blog posts since January, I haven't done a single monthly favourites :O Oh well, let's get cracking!!!

Food

This month food wise I've been completely obsessed with orange juice especially the one with the bits in and I don't really know why because before it used to give me indigestion but lately I've been chugging down at least 4/5 glasses a day!! I know it's not exactly the best for your teeth but at least it's not the only thing I drink :D 

I've also been looovingggg Marks & Spencer's chilli and coriander prawns with a sweet chilli dip. Heaven. When I'd be going to my job seekers meeting it'd be about 2 o'clock and I wouldn't have had anything for lunch, so I'd pop into M&S after and buy these and although there aren't that many prawns in it because it's like a snack pot, they're absolutely delicious. I couldn't find them on the website but I'll link the main website below so you can check out any other equivalents.

Make-up/ Beauty

After all the hype of Kylie Jenner's amaaaazing lips, I couldn't resist buying MAC's spice lip pencil and I've got to say it's probably my most used thing from my November favourites. I'd also bought MAC's Viva Glam in the number 3 to put on top, but for everyday wear, I've just been mixing Spice with a moisturiser and it looks sooo flawless and even makes my lips look more plump and natural rather than a bold red lip. MAC

On my nails this month, I've really been liking Luxedo by Essie which is a really dark plum colour and I didn't want a really striking colour like pink or white to make a transition from Halloween to Bonfire night and I wanted a colour that looked like one from far away but up close it's a different colour so this was perfect for me as it looked black from far away but held against the light a slight purpley shade was shown. Although it didn't last throughout the whole month and I had to keep on re-applying the colour, the first time I painted my nails did last for little over a week with no chips. Gorgeous. Well done Essie.

Fashion

Now, I only really have 1 fashion favourite this month and that is my new shoes from Topshop. If you want to see what they look like, please go and check out My Instagram but my shoes were...perfect. Black with faux crocodile kind of skin, slip on shoes that go with basically anything. Skirts, jeans, dresses the possibilities are endless :DD

My Shoes

TV/ Music

Taylor Swift. 1989. That is all.

I've also jumped onto the band wagon, even if it might be a little bit late, but American Horror Story is vastly becoming my latest addiction with Tate having a little spot in my heart. I haven't really managed to watch a lot of it but right after this post is published I'll be watching the 8th episode in the 1st series and I must say, it hasn't disappointed yet.

Okay guys that's all for my November favourites but before I go, have a look at my Instagrammer of the month: Kristina Bazan. Aside from being stunning, her pictures on Instagram are beautiful and she also has a website so go and have a loo at that:

Fail...

Hey Guys!

 

So...I sort of suck at life right now! :'D

 

In my last blog post, I told you gorgeous lot that I would show you a pic of what I looked like on Halloween but stupid me got a bit merry and only took 1 selfie but because it was waaayyyy past my bedtime and I didn't like the pic, I deleted it. :(

 

On the actual night of Halloween, me and a couple of my mates went to a pub in Birmingham called Flappers and because I'd never been there, I didn't know what to expect and as it was a pub, I didn't want to be too dressed up but at the same time I didn't want to not be boring, I mean, it was Halloween after all! So I bought a pack of stuff from Poundland to make my self into a devil! ;) So I paired the top below from Miss Selfridge with some black jeans and black boots that I got from H&M as well as the stuff from Poundland.

 

 

 

 

As well as this, I took inspiration from a YouTube website that I watched on devil inspired makeup look and although it didn't look exactly the same and I didn't have time to purchase everything that he was using because it was last minute, I still enjoyed recreating this look and got quite a lot of complements :3

Now, after that partayy, which was actually pretty good, the next day my friend Tasmin was having a partayy at her house and then we'd be going out down Wolverhampton after, so this was the night I actually decided to make myself look at least half decent! :'D I originally was going as the Bride of Chucky, hence why I bought MAC Lipliner in Nightmoth, but when I was

getting ready the white dress didn't go at all with the boots even if it was Halloween so I quickly changed my mind to wear the same top I wore last night but with a black textured skater skirt that I bought from Henry Holland agessss ago and some chunky biker boots and decided to go as a vampire instead. And as always, the partayy was AMAMAAZZIIINGGGG!!!! And we went to Walkabout in Wolverhampton and had one of the best Halloweens I've had in a while!

 

Well, I hope that you had an amazing Halloweeeen and I'll talk to you guys soon.

 

See you guys later.

Family Time!!

Hey Guys!

It's Sundayy! Sunday Funday!

So nearly every Sunday is the tradition where me and my family all congregate around my nan and granddads house and have our lunch/dinner there, but we haven't been going lately due to both my nan and granddad being taken ill and having to go to the hospital, but we got to go today for the first time in about 3/4 weeks and they both are slowly getting better! Now I don't really want to get into detail about why they haven't been well but non of you need to panic but I can assure you, they're okay!

Now, normally we have the normal Sunday lunch with some form of a roast with all the trimmings kind of like something you'd have at Christmas, but to try and get my 3 little cousins to eat a wider range of food, my granddad and nan have been cooking more 'exotic' foods and when I say exotic, I use that very loosely. Like today, we had fish pie and vegetables, but you know when you go to your nans house and she just feeds you and feeds you until you've basically doubled your weight, that's me! God bless my grandparents!!

Words can't actually describe how much I love my family, like I'm being serious. Just getting everyone around the table, talking about how our weeks have been and what we're doing next week, just makes me feel sooo happy to be part of such a large family. Definitely not taking them for granted!

Well sorry this blog has been a short one, but I hope you've all had a wonderful day and I'll see you next time.

See you guys later.

Say WHAT?!?!

Hey Guys!

 

It's me! I know!

 

Like I told you, I'd have more time to do blogging being as I'm looking for jobs and not going to uni any more but every Saturday, me and my family like to go to Birmingham to do shopping and as Halloween is less than a week away, I needed to get some stuff for my costume.

 

Now not going to give anything away but this particular person I'm dressing up as has very dark lips and after scrolling through YouTube videos, I found the perfect video and had everything to re-create the look, apart from the lipstick. So, off I went to buy my first ever MAC product.

 

I know right! Well, I've had MAC products in the past but this was the first one that I'd ever bought with my own money and after buying the product, I can tell I know where all my moneys going to when I get a job :D Now, I know you're all probably wondering what the MAC product was and on my Twitter, I actually wanted to see if there was a dupe so I wouldn't have to spend as much on something I'm probably only going to wear once, but after seeing the colour in real life, I had to buy it: MAC Nightmoth Lipliner.

 

 

MAC - Lipliner - Nightmoth

 

 

 

Although this lip liner does look brown, I can assure you it is more like a deep plum sort of colour and as soon as I got home, I coloured my lips in and...well...what can I say. I'm not used to very very very dark lips but I actually think I could get used to it. Well, I'll let you be the judge as I'll be posting a picture from Halloween on here very soon.

 

 

See you guys later.

Time to grow up...sort of :D

Hey Guys!

So, I haven't spoken to yous lot in a while and I think it's about the right time to explain myself. Don't worry, in my opinion, it's not that serious but, you know, it's up to you to decide.

So, the last time I spoke to you bunch, I was at university and wasn't very happy with the situation that I was in even though I'd only been there for I think it was 1 1/2 weeks and part of me wanted to quit straight there and then to then go home and find a job and yeah. But, on the other side, I wanted to stay because it'd only been 2 weeks and I'd only been to 1 lecture, but in my opinion, it wasn't for me and do you know the reason why?

Because I don't know what I want to do with my life...

So, I did the 'brave' thing and after 2 weeks at the University of Bedfordshire, I quit. Don't get me wrong, the university was amazing and the people that I met there, I would consider them my new friends and I hope to keep in contact with them but because I don't know what I want to do so rather than doing something I don't know if I'll like in 1 years time, I'd rather come back home and get a job whilst I'm trying to figure me out.

If I was to give any advice, although I'm not very good at giving advice of taking it as a matter of fact, I would say wait. If you enjoy something, I'd say make sure that you're not going to be bored of it after a couple of months. Take me for example, I enjoy reading books and I have a couple of ideas for stories, when I went to my first lecture, I felt completely out of my comfort zone and whilst I sat in my room, I'd convinced myself that I couldn't do it, especially for three years.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to be a published writer, but I couldn't do the learning aspect of it as I was scared of by doing it for so long that I'd get bored of it and would never want to read another book again or have any more ideas. So, I'm no longer a student and am currently applying for jobs endlessly and because I've got more time on my hands, I can update you more often, even though it might not be exciting all the time, I'll try to make it as exciting as possible for your entertainment. Oh, okay... was it just me that that sounded a bit dirty...oh well! :D

Thanks guys for being patient and like I said, I'll be able to be more consistent, pinky promise ;)

See you guys later.

A new chapter!!

Hey Guys!

Now look, I know it's been a while since I did a blog post and I know said I'd be posting more often but because I'm starting a new chapter in my life and I'll want to keep you updated with my journey and hopefully give you an insight into this if you choose to go down the same path as me. Now I know what you're thinking, what could she possibly be doing?

University.

Although I was hesitant at the start to actually go, as I sit here in my new room, so far it's not as erm fun packed as I thought it would be and although I know I've only been here for 24 hours, it honestly feels like ages and I don't know if I like the idea of doing this for the whole 3 years. I know I haven't had any lectures yet and fresher's week hasn't started yet, but after going out last night, I don't think I can keep it up. Don't get me wrong, my flat mates are sooo lovely, but something just doesn't feel right and I really don't like it.

I can remember when I first started secondary school and in my honest opinion, I don't think it was this bad, like I'm literally sitting in my room whilst they go out shopping, it's like I don't feel like I fit in. but I'm not going to quit now. I think I'll see how my fresher's week goes and then my lectures and if I still don't feel like I'm being myself, then I'll have to sort something out.

Oh, by the way, I'm not portraying that this is what university will be like for anyone that's starting next year, but this is just my personal opinion and as I sometimes get social anxiety and suffer from slight panic attacks, I just thought that I'd try it to see if I could control both my anxiety and attacks but I've already had one because we were dancing and everyone was just crowding around me :(

I hope this post has been helpful to anyone out there, or just an interesting read tbh.

See you guys later.

Ahhhhh!!!!

Ahhhh!!!!!

So my life has been very hectic lately as you can probably tell from my lack of blogging.

*Bad Charlotte, very very bad!*

And I feel like I need to sort of explain myself as to why I haven't been here for 3 MONTHS!!!

If you know me, you'll know that I finished school recently. *Celebratory dance inserted here*And I know what your thinking, why can't she blog more because she has so much time on her hands now she doesn't have to worry about revising or exams and that is very true, but what I've found is that I sometimes struggle to think of things that I can write about.

I mean, I don't have a job so I wouldn't be able to do much shopping with no money so I can't do many beauty hauls etc but I also I don't really know if you want to know about my every day life or if I should start doing vlogging on my YouTube channels.One of my friends has recently passed her driving test and has got a car so we'd go on little adventures together, so would you like to see those? What do you guys think? Please leave a comment.

And that's it. I think...

Please go to my other social media links below to be more updated on my life and we can share little shits and giggles, but no giggles and shits...that would be awkward :/
