Exams!

Well hello my fellow readers!

It has now hit me that this time next week I'll be sitting my a level exams and I have to say I'm terrified! This years gone so quick, I never thought they'd come around so fast! I can honestly say the word panic is an understatement, I'm  so scared. I feel like there's no time to do anything and I won't know all the information by the exams. If that isn't enough to worry about, I have been set work on top of revision to cope with which is very time consuming. These probably aren't what I'm supposed to be thinking, i guess, I should be thinking positive and think I can do it! I've worked so hard this year that I shouldn't give up now!


My advise to you my fellow readers is don't be like me, calm down! Be positive and think you can do it! I know exam season is a worrying time for everyone and we're all under this pressure to do well and think we can't do it! However you shouldn't give  up when times get hard, you should just push through it! Trying your hardest is the only thing you can do, nobody should ask for more. So put in all the effort you can and you never know you may achieve that high grade that you weren't expecting. If you go in there and think you're going to fail, you won't be likely to succeed, you need to go in that exam hall and be in a positive mind set. Even if a really hard question comes up and you have no idea just apply what you know and what you have revised its all you can do.Just please don't give up! I've wanted to do that so many times but then I realise I can't, my future will depend on the grades I get, meaning I want to get the best I can. I want to do well, you won't get on top unless you work for it!

Good luck to all you readers taking exams next week, I hope you do amazingly well! Just stay positive, you can do it!

April favourites!

Well hello to you my fellow reader chums!

The spring month of April is over and across the course of the month, I've discovered some exciting products and gained new beauty favourites. If you're looking for a neutral eye shadow palette or the best hand cream, here are my April favourites.

VO5 heat protect spray 

V05 Heat Protect styling spray

  This has been my favourite for a while now which I use daily as I straighten/curl my hair often. This heat defence is amazing, it makes my hair really smooth after straightening and it smells lovely. I've basically been using it every day this past month, and I just love the feel it gives my hair afterwards, a definite recommendation.
Nivea hand cream

I bought this product towards the end of April but have been using it ever since! I love Nivea products; they have the loveliest smell and always cause my skin to be extremely smooth and feel nourished. Nivea products are apparently quite oily, however, I didn't find this product like that at all, I've been using it as a face/hand moisturiser daily and it makes my skin feel softer and healthier.
 
 

MUA Undress Me Palette

One of my make up favourites this month is the undress me palette too by MUA as I've used it like every day and its amazing value! I've already done a review on it so I won't go into much detail, but it's just beautiful with really pigmented colours that are great for a daily look.
 
 

Rimmel' Scandal Eyes eyeliner

Another makeup fave is Rimmel scandal eyes eyeliner, which I have lately purchased in April and have also done a review on. It's definitely one of my favourites as ever since I've been using it, my eyeliner has stayed on all day without fail, I just love it!
 
Ted Baker body spray 

Ted Baker body spray

My perfume/body spray type favourite is the Ted Baker body spray, it has the most beautiful smell and for this small bottle, it only costs, £2.50, what a bargain! I'm literally addicted to what it smells like, its that good, I'll definitely repurchase it again but probably in the bigger bottle so it'll last longer.
 
Collection liquid eye liner 

Collection liquid eyeliner

Recently, I've got into the winged liner look and thought it would be a good idea to buy some liquid liner. This one in particular is great with a quick, easy application that stays on all day!
 
 

Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer

This product has been raved about by many youtube beauty gurus so I was really happy when I got my hands on it! It's actually amazing, it covers really well and stays on all day, it barely looks like you're wearing any concealer at all giving it a very natural look.
 
I hope you enjoyed reading about my April favourites, what's everyone else's? Thank you for reading! <3

Mini clothing haul!

Evening my dear reader chums!

Today I went shopping with Maria to buy a few clothing items for dance and school. Primark is definitely the shop to buy the essentials of causal but cute clothing at affordable prices! If you're looking for some budget-friendly clothing, here are the items I chose on my shopping trip.

Collared white top

The first thing I bought was a cute/sophisticated blouse that has a floral pattern to wear for school or maybe with a skirt for parties. This is one of those items that you can dress up or down, where you can wear it with a skirt and heels or simply jeans/shorts. I have many tops like this in my wardrobe because I just love collared/blouse tops as they're really pretty, so I thought why not add another one to the collection.

Primark vest top 

The next thing I bought is a casual top which says geek chic on as I dance most days a week at school and needed more casual tops to wear for my lesson. Also, I thought I could wear it in the summertime with shorts to just through on at the beach due to it being rather light.

Primark green vest top 

Also, I bought another top for dance, this one in green saying dork, I usually don't wear green as its not really my colour, however, I liked this type of green, the way it looked on me and with it costing £4 it was easily affordable. I thought it would be perfect for dance and something casual to through on here and there.

Garnier body lotion 

The next thing I bought was the Garnier body lotion because it's getting nearer to summer and that means shorts weather is approaching and I wanted my legs to be smooth and not dry, especially as they're going to be seen a lot in the summer time. Garnier is usually a really good brand and their products smell really nice and work really well. 
 
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! 

Time is a precious thing!

Evening my dear reader chums!

Recently, I've been having a think about how lucky I am to live the life I have, people have it so much harder with all the tragedies they face everyday like not knowing if they're family will be fed or being seriously ill. Looking at how other people have it makes me appreciate what I have and makes me more grateful, sure I fight with my parents or have pointless little dramas about things but I'm lucky to have support from friends and family that get me through all my little 'crisises'. As the truth is life does suck at times where we all feel like were never can be happy again or feel physically and emotionally drained that we don't want to carry on, there are moments like that, however you just need to pick yourself up and stay positive and strong. Chin up as my best friend is always telling me! There is hope, I know from experience not thinking I could go on, but I'm here today, I got through it, sure I still have little knockdowns but that's life its not easy.

Time is a precious thing, it goes so quickly, spend time with the people who matter and cherish those moments as you don't know how long they'll last. Today I've been thinking about all the old times I spent with my family, all those happy moments that I took for granted. I really do miss those times and would give anything to go back, those memories will  always be in my heart. I wish I could go back to those moments with people there who are no longer here.

My Dad, Maria (twin), Me and Matthew <3

My Mum, me and Maria <3
 
Maria, nanny and I <3
 Maria and I! Twins <3       

Love you grandad! Me, Kerry (cousin) and Maria <3


 Us again, Me and Maria <3

Memories are precious, keep them close to heart. Looking back at pictures reminds me of these good times and that these don't last forever, time goes so quick! My advise to you is look at what you have now with your family and friends and spent as much time with them as possible, while you still can! Sadly my grandads passed away when I was 8 and 12 and I still miss them dearly, but I cherish those times I had with them and they'll always be in my hearts! <3

Love all my family and friends so much! Live life to the full and enjoy every moment of it, take every opportunity you get as you never know where it'll take you! Don't look with back with regret but forward with hope! Make sure you keep positive and stay strong!

Thank you for reading! <3


Work, work and more work!

Evening my fellow reader chums!

Work, work, work! I have no time at the moment for anything else but that! Who knew A levels were going to be this daunting?! I know I've probably said on my previous blogs about exam season nearing and the amount  of stress I'm under! I've just had a realisation that in two weeks I'll be sitting these ever so hard exams and I can honestly say I'm terrified! It'll be a bummer knowing I've worked hard all year to get terrible results, meaning the next two weeks will be studying, studying and more studying with a little ounce of a social life if I'm lucky!
Here's a picture of my girlie's and I in the paper last year receiving our GCSE results, just hope all these exams go well and we'll have the same smiles on our faces for A level results day!


I don't think my brain is big enough to store all this information, I don't think any human is capable of it! I knew before I came into sixth that it would be a LOT of work but I wasn't expecting this much! I'm a really emotional person when it comes to stress and worries so I'm not going to lie by saying I haven't shed a tear or two! Panicking is probably the worst thing to do at this moment in time, meaning my advise to you would be to calm down, take breaks from the revision and relax.

On top of all my academic subjects I take dance which I can say is my favourite subject as I always enjoy it. This term we're focusing on  street choreography where we all choreograph our own dance which is really fun and we get to teach each other, exciting yet worrying times. I'm a nervous person about presenting and teaching usually, however its been better than I thought. Learning everyone's dances is always a bundle of laughs! Just remembering them is the hard thing especially on top of everything else!This means tonight before I go to bed, I'll be choreographing a bit to teach my dance tomorrow so I better get the creative juices flowing!

If your exams are causing you to get in a state like myself, talk to a friend about you worries as they'll give you support, everyone needs a friend! If you need any advice about your exam worries comment down below and I'll happily give you some! I wish everyone all the luck with the upcoming exams as I'm sure you'll all do amazing! Keep revising, but don't forget to take a break!

Just try your best, its all you can do! <3

Rimmel scandal eyes eye liner review!

Evening my dear reader chums!

Recently, I purchased the Rimmel scandal eyes eye liner as I was in need of a waterproof eye liner. I've heard great things about this eye liner and couldn't wait to buy it! As the weather is windy a lot, my eyes always seem to water meaning the coal eye liner on my water line faded easily. So I decided to buy this product and I can honestly say I'm really impressed with it. Its not only affordable with it costing £3.99 but its really pigmented and it stays on my water line for nearly the whole day!


I recommend this product to anyone whose looking for a lasting eye liner that is very pigmented. I'm definitely going to re-purchase this product again as I thoroughly enjoy it and its good for daily use.  I would say the only down side is, it sometimes smudges and the tip goes blunt quite easily meaning you'll have to re-sharpen it quite often. However I wouldn't let these disadvantages get in the way of buying this product as it does really look good as a daily make up usage and is amazing for its value!
