When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

As a kid I don’t think I thought about it much, I probably did have something in mind like a vet or something but I’ve never been one to know what I want to do and now as I’ve finished high school I’m finding it hard to even begin to comprehend what I want to do and even though I’m doing A- Levels in Media, English Literature and English Language I still have nothing in mind.

What accomplishment are you most proud of?

I think I’m most proud of passing my GCSE’s I mean it’s nothing big the majority of people pass them in the UK, but I’m proud that I got through after worrying so much of not passing and only failing History and Maths (which I’m resitting maths so hopefully I’ll pass this year!) I’m happy about getting them over with and moving onto Sixth Form and getting into the Sixth Form college I’m in, I’m also very proud that since starting sixth form I’ve definitely became who I am, I’ve opened myself up more and I’ve branched out of my comfort zone and started talking to more people and making new friends.

So I hope you enjoyed getting to know me more and like I said last week I hope I can stick to posting once every week again!

Thoughts On Life

As of 2015 I’ve been feeling surprisingly down for it being a new year and I think it’s down to A Levels, I’m not particularly enjoying it. I enjoy the social and the friends I’ve made but I often find myself thinking what’s the point in this and when can I drop out? But I’ve realised that it’s not long until I start my exams. Of course this is going to make me more stressed and probably even more unhappy, but once that’s out of the way with and summer comes along I’ll be fine again and there will be one year left. Baring this in mind I haven’t decided if I still want to continue, I’ve decided to leave that until I get my results after my AS exams. So what’s the point in this post? I haven’t really decided I’m in a mood to write what I’m thinking and feeling and I feel like if you’re going to get this far you may as well continue and put up with it for another year, because in the end it could make a difference to my life but t the same time it might not and in the end I won’t know until later on in life if it was really worth it.

I find that life is a weird thing and I find myself thinking about it a lot and how everyone’s life’s are different some enjoy it whilst others don’t, but as I’ve realized is you have ups and downs, twists and turns like a roller coaster (yeah I’m using that example) and you have difficulties, problems, but you also will have the more positive effects like happiness, memories, friends and family. And like roller coasters what goes up must come down but to get up you have to push yourself and try, try and try some more and in the end you’ll succeed.

I know for sixth form I’m going to come out in one of two ways I’m either going to finish sixth form with really good grades and hopefully get a job afterwards, or I’m going to come out with the complete opposite and the two years will have been a waste of time and it’s down to me to decide. In the end I can put the work and effort in and it’ll pay off. 

And life is the same it’s up to you what you do, you control your life so you do what you want to do and do more of what makes you happy, you enjoy writing you write, enjoy drawing? Draw. You want to go off to uni to get a degree? Work hard and you ‘ll achieve that’ and this sounds easier said than done, but in the end isn’t life a challenge? You over come things and you get a better result out of it.  

And as well as the big and obvious things in life there are little things that matter just as much and these tend to be the things I look at to make myself much more happier and sometimes little things can completely change my day around and make me happier. For example photos are one of the things that I love and can do nearly any time of day and can make me happy. I love the idea of capturing a moment or just the way in which something looks. There may be no reason behind a picture but it can still look wonderful and speak a thousand words depending on how you look upon the image. And you may forget about a picture and look back and you can remember the memories of that day and the events that took place. It reminds me of the poem ‘Six Young Men’ by Ted Hughes and as much as that poem is depressing the way they talk about photographs is true, you can look at pictures from your mam and dad’s past and see a different time even if it’s not too long ago. And to you they may mean nothing but to them it may mean the world. It’s incredible really how everyone lives their own life’s and capture it in different ways and in a way we have the same guide lines but go in separate directions.

Everyone’s life’s are different and we’ll all experience different things and in the end things will get better if they aren’t already and as Winston Churchill said ‘If your going through hell keep going’ because without struggle there is no success.

Sorry about the lack of posts recently i haven't had much time to write and i've been quite busy with college i am going to try and sort things out and post weekly again.

What I Got For Christmas

So to start with I’m not at all bragging about what I’ve got but I just thought this would be a fun little post because I love to see these types of posts/ youtube videos as I’m a very nosey person and am always intrigued as to what other people got for Christmas so here is some of the things I got for Christmas from my family and friends.

So to start with i got this soap and glory set which I know is from boots and my mam got it on special so I don’t think this can be bought any more but in this set you get the Hand Dream- super cream (100ml), Orangeasm- body wash (500ml), Butter Yourself – moisture lotion (500ml), Heel Genius- foot cream (125ml), Sugar Crush- body scrub (300ml), Whipped Clean- shower butter (250ml), The Righteous Butter – body butter (300ml), Off Your Face – 3 in one daily purifying cloths (25x cloths), Sexy Mother Pucker- Lip Lacquer (in the colour Charm Offensive) and finally the Thick & Fast- Mascara. So far out of this kit I’ve tried the Orangeasm body wash, hand dream super cream, heel genius and the mascara and so far all of these things have been so good. The body wash smells amazingly fresh and zingy just like oranges and leaves your skin feeling very soft and smelling like oranges, the hand dream super cream is really moisturizing and again smells really nice, it doesn’t take long to dry either and I’ve also tried the mascara and so far I do like it but I still prefer my Maybelline falsies mascara.

I also got the Real Techniques Core Collection brushes, which includes four brushes which are a Detailer Brush which is used to conceal areas or can be used with lipstick to create long lasting shape and definition (according to the Real techniques website.) There is also a Pointed Foundation Brush, Buffing brush that is apparently good for full coverage use with powder and mineral foundations and then there is a contour brush, which is to be used with highlighters to contour and create a sheer finish. And as well as those four brushes you get a case for the brushes that can also be turned into a stand.

I also got these three things from Zoella Beauty, which is the Creamy Madly Dreamy body lotion, Lets Glow Fragranced Candle and the Soak Opera bath soak and shower cream. From buying other Zoella products I know this collection ranges from £5- £10 so it isn’t an expensive collection and you can get these from Superdrug or Feel Unique if anyone is curious.  

I also got two Tanya Burr Lip glosses the lighter shade is called Picnic In The Park whilst the darker one is called Heart Skipped A Beat. I also got the Tanya Burr nail polish in New York Night. My final drugstore make up is the sleek blush in the colour Rose gold it’s a lovely rosey pink shade with hints of gold in. From Mac I got the Cremesheen Lipstick in Lickable and to go with that I got a lip pencil in the shade Trust in red.

The next few things I got is a Nspa Japanese spa rituals candle and it’s in the scent Cherry Blossom And Rice Milk. Another candle I got is a Yankee Candle in Sunlight On Snow. I also got a pair of Raybans, the Impulse spray called Be Surprised. And a shower gel called Dolly’s Mixtures, which smells amazingly sweet the actual scent Is Candy Floss.

I also got a pair of black and white Vans; Marc Jacobs perfume Daisy, Prada Candy perfume and a Lynx set with a shower gel and spray.

A few other little things I got is a Lee Stafford Hair dryer which is called Blow your mind, No7 eye set my auntie got me this and inside it has an eyeliner, and an eye shadow and I think a brush for the eye shadow. And on the end there are these Baylis & Harding Skin Spa soap petals and these are in the scent sugar cane, basil and Lime and with these you drop them In the bath and they float around and eventually dissolve a bit like bath bombs and such.

And the last few bits and pieces I got is a mini impulse set with 3 different scents, three lip tint, lip balms, a primark purse which will be nice for easter/ summer and the cards against humanity cards. I also got a shared present with my dad which was a complete surprise but is a PlayStation 4 with Little Big Planet 3. As well as of course getting money and gift vouchers got Newlook and Boots.

And off my friend I got this cute little wooden sign that says ‘Santa is on his way’ a make up brush set ( which I took out of the packet so they’re now in the mug she got me in my bathroom) and she got me a cute little mug which has a little knitted sleeve for it and I now sit that in my bathroom for it to hold my make up brushes.

And that is everything I got this Christmas I love everything I got and I got a lot of surprises after my mam told me I didn’t have much I was surprised on what she got me and I had a lovely Christmas spending time with my mam and dad and just relaxing and doing nothing, I hope everyone has a lovely New Year.
