1.My top favourite TV program has got to be The Walking Dead, I only started watching this about a couple of months ago and ever since I watched the first episode I was hooked. I honestly watched 4 and a half seasons (as there was 3 episodes left of season 5 that needed to be aired) in 2 and half weeks, I caught up very quick and I love it. If you haven’t seen it it’s basically a zombie apocalypse with some survivors, but it’s so freaking amazing, it’s not all blood and gore but it is very character heavy, the problem is you will end up falling in love with a character then a couple of seasons later they’ll end up dying which is torturous when they’re great characters.

2. My second favourite TV program has got to be Supernatural, if you have been on any aspect of Tumblr then you will have heard of it or at least have seen a gif, I got curious after constantly seeing these ‘Winchester Brothers’ and I thought okay let’s give this ago and I got hooked again pretty quickly there’s 10 seasons so it took ages to catch up, but it’s such a good program, it’s about two brothers that hunt supernatural creatures as part of their fathers family business and a lot happens, but it’s great it’s not all action there’s some humour in it and some episodes will literally make you question if it’s actually a genuine TV program or just some made up thing.

3. My third favourite is Pretty Little Liars, now where to start? It’s so mysterious; you will literally be on the edge of your seat the entire time, so basically about 4 best friends who’s 5^th friend had gone missing also known as ‘Allison’ she is found dead and the 4 girls Aria, Hannah, Spencer and Emily they start getting messages from this anonymous ‘A’ things happen and the newest season 5 things get revealed and it’s just brilliant it’s honestly worth the watch if you love mystery and drama.

4. Fourth favourite is Modern Family I watch this all the time, it’s one of those programs I’ll turn on my tv and have on in the background and I’ve watched over and over again. I love it all the different characters it’s really good, very funny and it’s a great program. It’s about 3 different families who are family so there’s Jay and Gloria with their son Manny. Claire and phil with their three kids Haley,Alex and Luke. The final family is Mitchell and Cam with their adopted daughter Lilly. Jay is Clair and Mitchell’s father and of course this connects the family and it just follows their life’s as a sitcom and it’s hilarious.

5. And my final favourite is another sitcom and of course it’s got to be Friends. I feel like I don’t need to describe it everyone has heard of it and it’s just so funny I’ve been watching friends for as long as I remember it’s been one of those programs I’ve grew up with and I just don’t get sick of it, I love all the characters, it’s all great humour and it’s just a fun feel good TV program.

So these are 5 TV programs that I love, what are some of your favourite TV programs to watch?

Liz Earle Cleanse And Polish Review

So I recently went into boots with the intention of going in and buying some facial wipes and to have a look at some facial cleansers and I came across the Liz Earle stand. I’ve seen many bloggers blog and rave on about the Liz Earle stuff and I didn’t intend on buying anything, but after having a little talk with the woman who was on the stand I decided to buy the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish cleanser with two Muslin cloths. This was £15.50 from Boots.

This cleanser is the iconic cleanser for Liz Earle and has won many beauty awards. The cleanser works by having two phases. The first phase is cleansing any trace of make up or any muck off your face, the second phase is to Polish the cream off with the cloths in the set. The cleanser has some natural ingredients one being cocoa butter and the other Eucalyptus. This is also meant to be suitable for all skin types.

I’ve had this set for a week or so and the first time I used it I completely fell for it. Comparing it to my two Neutrogena cleansers I found straight away my skin felt more hydrated and not at all dried out; this is a problem I usually have after using my other cleansers. My skin looked more radiant and it felt so smooth my skin felt amazing especially since I had a busy day and I was tired my skin felt amazing.  When I first tried using it I had a small little break out on my left cheek that just didn’t seem to be disappearing and after using this cleanser for about 3 times I found it has died down so much that it’s barely noticeable.

This cleanser by far has been the best one I have used and I have tried so many different types of cleansers, I definitely recommend this if you have dry skin and you often find that cleansers dry your face out because this won’t dry it out it will keep your face feeling moisturised and fresh.  This is a product I’m definitely going to be re-purchasing.

For the Liz Earle 100ml cleanser and two muslin cloths it costs £15.50 but just for the 100ml cleanser it costs  £14.

Have any of you tried this product before if so what are your thoughts on it?

Favourite Places In My City

So my first favourite place to visit In Newcastle is the Quayside, I absolutely love to go to the quayside there’s so many restaurants to go to and of course you have the millennium bridge which is really nice to see on a night time as it lights up and on top of that there’s The Baltic which is an art gallery and it’s just a really nice place to take photos and walk around.

 

Another place in Newcastle I love to go to is Eldon Square and Northumberland street which is a shopping centre and a high street, I go here a lot on my breaks during college or if I have an early finish, there’s loads of different shops, food shops etc and near Eldon Square there is an area called monument which has a statue called ‘Grey’s monument’ which is nice to sit at and relax by during the summer whilst your shopping.

Another place I like is kind of just a yearly thing, there’s a park in Newcastle called the Town Moore which well it’s just a land of grass but every year during the last week of June they have a funfair there which is called ‘The Hoppings‘ which I have been to quite a lot, i used to go a lot when I was younger but my parents and I stopped going as it was quite expensive and usually the weather is utter crap whilst it’s here. Literally the fair gets set up and the sky turns grey it happens every year, but I went with my cousin last year and it was really fun I did a post on it which you can find HERE If you’d like to see some pictures and to see my experience.

Another favourite of mine is St James Park which is a football stadium, I find it really cool and the fact that when I was younger I went to the football shop and I met the Newcastle manager (at the time) Kevin Keegan which I got a Newcastle Football shirt signed, also I went to a football match which was just a charity match (England vs. some other team) and I remember it well because of the fact that Sir Bobby Robson was still alive at the time and I saw him sitting on the opposite side of the stadium which was very cool unfortunately a couple of days later the news struck that he had passed away.

My final favourite in my town is based on the pure sight of the area it’s near monument and Eldon Square and it’s called Grainger Street and it’s just such a nice street, the buildings are so nice and it just looks stunning I love the look of the buildings and down the street there’s more high street shops such as Urban Outfitters and Space Nk, etc. but also there’s Grainger’s market which is massive and I’d love to get a picture of the inside you walk through and your hit with so many different smells such as spices or cooked food.

So this is a few of my favourite places to visit in my City, What are some of your favourite places where you live?

April Favourites

So April has come and gone and i've realised my exams are in under two weeks, which is absolutely terrifying especially since most are two and a half hours long and the fact i haven't exactly done any revision yet, but that doesn't mean i haven't had any favourites for this month so here are my favourites of April.

So my first favourites are the two Nail Polishes by Barry M which are apart of their quick dry collection, i bought them in the colours Pole Position (right) and Full Throttle (Left) and i absolutely love these nail polishes i've used both colours throughout April as they're such light colours that are quite perfect for Spring. They last for such a long time too and they just go on so easily and have such a nice finish.

My second favourite is the Mac Jacobs Daisy i got this for christmas but i've been saving it for Spring and again it's such a nice scent for the spring and summer as its such a nice sophisticated florally scent that is subtle, it's definitely a new favourite of mine. 

My TV favourite of the month has got to be Game Of Thrones, i've been wanting to watch this for so long but i've been watching different TV series that i just haven't had time and since my sky got cancelled i've had time to actually watch it i've almost finished season two and i love it. i can't describe how good it is but it is, but there is a lot of violence and quite graphic scenes that can be quite off putting about the show. 

Another Beauty Favourite of mine was a recent purchase but have instantly fell in love with and it's the L'Oreal Superstar Mascara and i love this. there's two ends to the mascara and they're labeled one and two. Side one is used as a primer which instantly makes your eye lashes look so much more fuller and then you use side two which of course is the mascara and i have really short eye lashes so it can be hard for a mascara to make my eye lashes look long, but this one is so good it makes my eye lashes look so full and long it's definitely a product that i'm going to be re-buying in the future. 

My final favourite of the month is going to be a fashion item and it's got to be my Denim Jacket. since it's warmed up and it's spring i've moved away from my leather jacket and have been wearing this jacket more and it's been a nice little swap for my everyday outfits. 

So these were my favourites for April, what are some of your favourites from last month?
