I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Hi girls so I know I haven't wrote anything this week, but lately I haven't been in the mood for writing beauty posts. Lately I feel that I have been hiding behind make-up and that isn't what I think make-up should be about. I feel that this blog should be about having self-confidence and showing your true beauty inside and out. Yet lately I feel I haven't been able to do that and I don't want to be hypocritical. However I do still want to keep writing blog posts so I have created a new blog for some of my other obsessions which can be found here.
Please check it out if you want to keep reading my fun posts. If you want to know what I'm doing constantly then follow me on twitter here

Tag: Halloween

So I know Halloween was on Monday but I found this tag and really wanted to do it. Here it is, the Halloween Tag. Enjoy.


1. Favourite Halloween movie?
I don't really like scary movies so I don't have one


2. What age did you stop trick or treating?
10 but I wish I could still do it now


3. Favourite Halloween costume you have worn?
Probably the year I dressed up as a devil. I loved that one.


4. What are you going to be this year?
Halloween is obviously over but I dressed up as a Dementor. It wasn't a great costume, as it was cheap and homemade but it was fun anyway.


5. Do you like going to haunted attractions?
Yes, although I do scare very easily.


6. Vampires or werewolves?
Seriously? Why is everyone so obsessed with Twilight?


7. Favourite Halloween candy?
The UK don't really have Halloween candy but I do love the toffee apples even if I didn't see any this year *sad face*


8. Do you decorate your house?
No simply because Halloween isn't a big deal in the UK.


9. Least favourite costume
I don't really have one


10. Have you ever repeated a costume, and what was it?
Yes. When I was little, pretty much every year I would be a Witch, with the odd exception.


11. Do you believe in ghosts?
I believe in life after death if that counts


12. Scariest Halloween?
I don't have one really. Although one year we went to The Chester Dungeons and that was pretty scary and I was only about 12 at the time.


That is it for this post. I hope that you enjoyed it, even if it was a little bit late. 


Talk to you all soon

October Favourites

Happy November beautiful people. It is obviously that time of month again (not that one fortunately) I know that I don't do these every month, simply because I don't have new favourites every month. Which is why I think I should just do Ins and Outs posts, although they can be slightly different to Favourite posts. Anyway, I don't have many favourites but what I do have I thought I would share with you all.

First thing I have been loving for about 2 months now is lip balm. To me it is a perfect obsession for this time of year because the cold dries out your lips and you don't want that. I am constantly re-applying my lip balm and I love it. I have used up about 1 and a half full lip balms recently and I have never used up a single lip balm in my entire life. I feel that is an achievement.

The second thing I am loving at the moment is the Pedicure System available from Agros. This is not only for use on your feet, but also has a nail buffer attachment which I use on my finger nails. It is amazing and is much better and quicker than those 3 section buffer things that I used to use. The other attachments: a pumice, a foot file and a foot brush, are perfect for my feet. They are really helping to make my feet soft. I haven't used on my feet in a couple of weeks and already they are getting dry and chapped again so I am definitely going to start using it again.

Other things I have been loving is wearing make-up. I stopped wearing it for a while but I started wearing it again last week and love it. I won't start wearing it every day again because I don't always have time but I will be wearing it a lot more again.
I have also been loving my skin care routine but more on that in tomorrows post.
I am obsessed with two songs at the moment: Abigail's song by Katherine Jenkins and O Children by Nick Cave. I have listened to these on repeat basically all month, with the occasional break and a different song, like today. But I can never bore of these songs, they are truly amazing.

Links to wear you can buy or listen to some of the things mentioned:
The tube lip balm is from Primark so there is no link but they are only £1 so I would go buy some :)
Pedicure system
Abigail's song
O Children

I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know your favourites of the month in the comments below.

Talk to you all tomorrow

Nails of the week

Hey there girlies,

Here is my nails of the week.

This week I am wearing New York by Nails Inc. It was from their Diet Coke range so unfortunately is unavailable now *sad face*

I chose to wear a hot pink colour this week, even though it is more of a summer colour, because tomorrow is Halloween and I have decided to dress up as Barbie for school. I chose Barbie because it is appropriate for school time, otherwise I would've gone for something a bit more like my Dementor costume.
You will see the outfit tomorrow and I am really excited for it!

Talk to you all tomorrow

Study series #2: My biggest tips

So girlies I planned on doing this as my study area but I'm in the middle of organising it at the moment so I don't feel like I should do it. It will be ready for next weeks study post, so look out for it.
Anyway today's post is my two biggest tips when studying.

Tip number 1:
Find a place where you don't get distracted but you feel comfortable. For me I work better on the floor when I'm not using my computer but I always work at my desk when typing. Some of you might find it better sitting on your bed, but I don't recommend that because it can be hard to concentrate on your bed. Another thing about working on your bed is that it might either make you want to sleep, or stop you from sleeping when you're not working. I try and have an area for work and an area for pleasure because for me that is the best way to get me to work effectively and it also helps to differentiate between work and pleasure, stopping me from getting distracted.
You might even find that you work better out of the house and at the library. I love working in the library and do feel like I get more work done there.
It is entirely up to you where you study but just think of a place where you won't get distracted. Never forget that you do need to be comfortable otherwise you won't be able to concentrate.

Tip number 2:
Pray before starting any homework. This one is obviously optional depending on whether or not you are Religious. I obviously am, hence why this is one of my biggest tips. I feel that praying for motivation and patience before starting any work helps me a lot because I feel God is with me, helping me to keep working, and without Him I couldn't do it all. I'm not going to force any of you to start praying, but I really do suggest it. Even if you aren't religious, give it ago and trust me you will feel brilliant and really work hard.

I really hope these tips work for you. As always let me know your tips so I can get better at studying. Also if you do try either of these out, let me know if they work for you.

Talk to you all tomorrow with my Nails of the week.

Tag: What's your fragrance?

Hey girlies,
So I have literally just read this tag on ElleandBlair.com and thought that it would be a fun post to do, simply because I love fragrance.
Onto the questions:
1.Fruity, Floral, Warm, Spicy or Food smell?
   Fruity/floral in the summer and Warm/spicy in the winter

2. Body spray or perfume?
    Perfume because it lasts longer. Although sometimes I find perfumes can smell chemically so maybe I choose Body spray

3.  What's your all time favourite perfume?
     Far Away by Avon. I feel like it is perfect for both winter and summer because it isn't too spicy or fruity.

4. What's your all time favourite body spray?
    I think it's called Kissed by Avon unfortunately though you can't buy it any more, but I do love the Vanilla scented body spray by Boots, it is so yummy.

5. What fragrance are you wearing right now?
     The Vanilla scented body spray from Boots. I normally wear both perfume and body spray but today I felt more natural so just put on some body spray.

Well that is it for this post. If you have done this tag leave the link in the comment below, because I would love to read it. If you haven't I tag you to do it because it is so much fun!

Hope you enjoyed this post and I will talk to you all soon

Nails of the week

Hey my gorgeous girlies!

Here is my nails of the week for you all! I think I have posted this colour before but I love it and it is what I am wearing this week so I'm doing it again!

I took a picture of my nails with the flash on and off, not sure that either are that good, but I feel like you can get  the right colour from the picture of the bottle.

The colour is Beatrice by Andrea Fulerton nail boutique which is exclusive to Superdrug.

I love this brand, about as much as I love Barry M or Avon. The texture is really good and it lasts a while without chipping, which is good if you only change your nail polish once a week.

I highly recommend this brand and colour! I feel that the colour is perfect for Autumn/winter and for Halloween (although I'm painting my nails black for my costume) The brand is really cheap, costing only £4.99 and you can buy it here.

Let me know what you think!

Study series #1: Outfit #1

Hey girlies so this weekend I have planned on doing as much school work as possible so I don't have to worry about it over the week. I want to have everything done before going back to school after half term, but I do want to relax and have some fun as well, hence why I am hoping to get all of my work done today and tomorrow. Although, just to contradict that, I do plan on filming for my media coursework and spending an hour a day on my English Literature coursework. But the rest of it will be completed tomorrow.
Anyway onto today's post, which is what I wore today.

Obviously it isn't all that exciting because I wasn't going anywhere but this is what I wore:
Top: just a plain white vest top from Asda George which cost about £4
Bottoms: Just some plain navy sweat pants from Primark and cost about £8-ish, I've had them a while so I don't remember.
I left my hair down today but normally I would have it in a bun or in a top knot just to keep it out of my face.
On my feet I actually didn't wear anything but I do normally wear my fuzzy socks just to keep my feet warm.

This outfit is just a really comfortable outfit to wear whilst studying, there is no 'faffing' about just really simple and easy to wear.

Just thought I would share where I ended up studying, because I took a break to eat my lunch so I sat on the floor then was too lazy to move again ha-ha. I am actually planning a study series so I will go into more detail about my study habits then. But that is just a sense of where I studied today.
Just realized that this could be the beginning of that series! Ah great plan Kim!

Anyway I am off for a nice relaxing bath after a hard day of studying and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

P.S. This will be a weekly series until I have given all my tips, just like all my series' will be.

How to survive early mornings

Hey girlies how are we all?
I wasn't sure whether or not to post this today or not but I decided that I would because I miss blogging. Plus I may be procrastinating but shh.
So as you can tell this is about how to survive early mornings. This is especially good if you, unlike me, are not a morning person. I know it is nearing the end of October and you all have your own morning routines sorted but in my opinion you can always improve things. I am always looking for tips on how to improve something I already do.
So onto my tips:

First of all I suggest getting up at the same time every day that way your body can adjust to getting up early. By getting up at the same time every day you get used to it and you aren't as tired when you get up, although I know that sometimes you just can't wake up. Try getting up at this time 7 days a week, or if that is too daunting I suggest still setting an alarm for weekends so you are still getting up at a certain time. Your body will appreciate it.

Following on from time, I would also suggest going to bed at the same time every night as well, but I know that isn't always possible. I know that for me I go to bed at a different time every night, just depending on how I feel, but I do try and stick to a rough time, say between 10 and 1 works for me, but it is entirely your choice the time you go to bed. Obviously I wouldn't stay up too late, because you do need to make sure you are getting enough sleep, because if you don't it is not only bad for your health, it is bad for your skin and can make you grumpy and no-body wants to speak to a grumpy person.

If you want to sleep that little bit longer I suggest doing these two things:

1. Shower at night. If you are like me and take 20 minutes in the shower then another 20 minutes moisturising and getting dressed then showering at night will save you so much time in the morning. Even if you only take about 10 minutes to get showered and dressed, it is still that extra 10 minutes sleep which is always good, especially if you are staying up late doing essays for school.
2. Get everything organised before going to bed. That means if you take your lunch to school, make it the night before. Choose your outfit and lay it out ready to put on when you get up. Make sure your bag is organised and has everything you need for the next day in it. If you change your make-up on a daily basis, decide before going to sleep. 

That leads me onto my final point, keep make-up simple to save time putting it on in the morning. Save the extravagant make-up looks for when you have more time to get ready, i.e. weekends. This will, again, mean you can sleep that little bit longer. You don't even have to wear make-up to school, but I know it might seem like an unthinkable option to some of you, which is why I said simple make-up.

Over all I think the best way to survive early mornings is to do everything you can the night before. Honestly it saves so much time. 

If you are a night owl, and you follow these tips you will soon become an early riser. As your body gets used to waking up early, you start to feel more alert first thing in the morning. And soon you won't have to rely on that morning coffee to give you a kick start because your body is already awake. 

I hope that this post was helpful. Leave me your tips on how you survive early mornings in the comments below, I love getting new tips and improving everything I do. 

Talk to you all soon!

Oh My Gosh Guys I have a new laptop! :D I am so excited to have my own laptop again.

It feels like so long ago since I last updated this blog but I have so many ideas. Before my old laptop broke I had an idea to do a back to school series but obviously I won't be doing that, however I do have a bunch of ideas that I am going to do. And they are:

• Tips on being healthy/ health series
• Outfit of the day series
• What I bought series
• Organisation series
• Motivation tips/ 'My Motivational wall'
• In's and Out's
• Skin Care routine
• How to survive early mornings
• Winter essentials series
• October favourites
• Nail of the week series

As you can see I have a few series which means I will be able to do my 'blog post' schedule again of at least 3 posts a week. 

If there are any posts which you would like please feel free to leave them in the comments below.

I am really excited to start writing again, I really have missed it so much. 

Talk to you all soon!

So Sorry

So I know I promised at least 3 posts a week apart from when I was away, and I have been back over a week now and this is my first post. But I promise I have a really good excuse, my laptop has actually broken, for good I think. It will not switch on. Instead it goes to a blue repair screen then shuts down when it can't repair :( I am extremely upset about this because I don't like not having my own laptop (I'm using my dad's at the moment) plus I have lost all my pictures! Yes I know! "How can you not have backed it all up!?" but I was getting round to it when it stopped switching on. Although I do have an idea of how to get my pictures back, not sure it will work though. If it does I will let you know what it is.

Anyway this is just a post to explain that I will still be posting, but maybe just not as often, after all I don't want to stop my dad using his laptop. Hope you all don't mind.

Talk soon

What to carry in your bag when travelling

As promised here is my post about what to carry in your bag and what make-up to take.

Normally I carry a huge bag and fill it with everything, including the kitchen sink. But obviously I can't exactly take a huge bag to Soul Survivor especially as I already have to have my roll mat on my knees on the journey back (it really will not fit into my case =/) 

So this is the bag I am using instead. It is quite small but can hold so much! Which is bad when you are trying not to carry much with you ha-ha.

I always carry a book with me and I think I already mentioned that I will be taking 2 books with me because it is a long journey. This isn't the book I am taking I need to go and pick it up from the library, this is just to show you what I am taking. 

Obviously you need your purse. I would actually recommend taking a smaller one but this one has all of my cards and I have a lot of important cards, not sure I'll need all of them though, but I like to be safe. I might switch everything to a smaller purse if I do I'll let you all know, but again this is just tips on what to take.

Make up time! There is practically nothing there, no eye-shadow or blusher. But obviously you can't be taking a lot of make-up with you and to be honest you probably won't even wear it everyday. You'll be lucky to wear it once, which is why I am contemplating not taking any, but if I do this is what I will be taking. L-R:  Nail file, primer, foundation, concealer, eyebrow pencil, lip balm, mascara, lipgloss, pen, tweezers Bottom: Make-up bag to keep it all in.

If I don't take all of that, the 4 things I will definatly take are the nail file, lip balm, pen and tweezers.

Finally a mini bottle of perfume is needed. This is the Far Away perfume, which is my all time favourite which also matches the body lotion and shower gel I am taking with me. 

Other things you may need, which I don't because someone will be home when I get back, is keys, so make sure to leave space for those, especially if you have a lot of key-rings like me ha-ha. Also you need your phone, so that you are able to be contacted in an emergency or if you need to keep in contact with some people.

Well that is it for this post. I might try and post something tomorrow, not sure what about yet though, then that will be me until I get back. If any of you are at Soul Survivor C come and say hi :)

Talk soon

Keep safe

You are all beautiful

Packing for a festival!

Hey girlies. As promised here is my festival packing post. I'm going to post the pictures in the order that I am packing them, because I am starting to pack today. Obviously there are things which I am not packing until right before I leave but most things I can pack today :)

This is my sad and empty suitcase right before I started packing. Little did it know it was about to get stuffed haha 

Ok so the first thing I packed was my blanket. This is mostly for night because I like to keep warm. However, on the last night there is a theme and this years theme is Disney. I don't have a Disney outfit so I am wearing this as safety pinned as a cape :) 

For my clothes I found it easier to pack them, then take the picture. So when going to a festival you want to pack for both extremes of the weather (especially in the UK) so I have packed leggings x2 and a pair of shorts, and like 3/4 pairs of tights.For tops I am going for the fail-safe option of tank/vest tops which are comfortable and paired with a jacket or cardigan will keep you warm-ish. You want warm pyjammas and fuzzy socks for bed time, but I am also taking a jacket for bed too because I am always cold.

I then remembered shoes. I am only taking 2 pairs, wellies and sandels. I will live in the wellies but its a good idea to take sandles just encase you feel like a change of shoe. As you can see the wellies don't fit in my case so I will be wearing them on the journey.

My toiletries from top left: Baby wipes-always good to have encase you can't shower, Face cloth-obvious reasons, wide toothed comb-when you do wash your hair you need this, Mini brush-obvious reasons, Face wipes-same reasons as the baby wipes, Spot treatment-only necessary if you have bad acne like me so optional, Body lotions-when you do shower you should still try and moisturize, Mini shampoo-So you can wash your hair, you also need a mini conditioner which I am picking up tonight, Disposable razors-you still need to shave, I am only taking 3 to save space, Dry shampoo-same reason as wipes, Moisturizer-always necessary, Face wash-obvious reasons, Body wash-need something to wash with, Deodorant-well you don't want to smell, Wash bag to put it all in. Oh and don't forget a mini tube of toothpaste and your toothbrush, not pictured but still 100% essential.

I know it seems a lot but almost all of it fit into that tiny wash bag and it is all necessary, honestly.

See it all fits!

Finally you need a sleeping bag (I'm borrowing mine from a friend which is why it isn't pictured), a roll mat (I don't have one so I am using a yoga mat instead), a torch, cutlery and plates and bowls, (I'm only taking the cutlery) 

This is my case all packed. I am going to a Christian festival so I have my bible and a notebook in there. I also have a book, because I love to read (that isn't the one I am taking just showing my full case) I am taking 2 books, 1 in my bag and 1 in my case, they are mostly for the journey though. 

Oh yeah and you will also need towels, which for some reason I completely forgot about until just now, and I suggest taking an old phone just encase you lose it, you won't mind so much if it is an old phone.

As you can see my yoga mat doesn't fit into my case so I need to think of something to do about that, if you have any suggestions please leave the in the comment section.

I am going to do a post on what I am taking in my handbag and the make-up I am taking tomorrow so be sure to check back for that post.

Thank you so much for reading

Talk to you all tomorrow.
Keep safe.
DFTBA.
You are all beautiful.

Quick post

Hey girlies I swear I was going to do my festival packing post today, but I just went to take the pictures and found that my camera's batteries are dead, and I am going out (brave I know) in an hour so I won't have time to do it tonight. However I swear I will post it tomorrow when I get back from the hospital. I might try and take the pictures tonight so I can save time tomorrow but not promising that. However I do promise that it will be posted before 6pm tomorrow British time! So be sure to check back tomorrow.

Keep safe and DFTBA xx

UK Riots

So I had wanted to do a post on what to take to a festival today, but instead I want to talk about something a lot more serious and important; the UK riots.

I'm sure you are all aware that there was riots in London last night. In fact they started 4 days ago. However last night everything just got out of hand. The riots spread to Birmingham and Liverpool last night, and today they are in Manchester. That is why the title is not London riots, but UK riots. There is also small riots in other places in the UK, like Kent. Even thought they are small they are still significant.

I do not understand why people feel the need to do this! I will never understand why some people think it will make a difference. If you want change, this is not the way to go! All that these people are doing is making life difficult for everyone, including themselves!

It all started because the police shot a man (I'm not sure why, but I'm sure it was a good reason, although I don't agree with it) but now people have lost that. They have forgotten that they were doing this for a reason, and now they are just doing it. Even if they hadn't forgotten that they were doing it for a reason, I still do not agree with it. Like I said, this is not the way to get change. If you want change, you do NOT go hurting other people, stealing or anything else like that! It is wrong and I really hope they get punished properly!

Tonight the police are armed with plastic bullets and are prepared to use them. I am glad they are doing this, but it is sad that they have to! I don't like to believe that humans can behave like this. They are giving our country a bad name. They are making people over the world lose respect for our country. I am ashamed to be associated with them. As always the minority are making the majority look like horrible people. It makes me so angry that they do this. All they are are cowards. They are scum, and deserve to be punished properly. Do not just put them in prison, that is not a punishment here, our prisons are like a holiday. Do something that will make them suffer, show them that it is wrong to do things like this. It is the wrong thing to do. I know I keep repeating that but it is so true.

I really wish that I could do something to help, but all I can do is pray, and I hope those of you who believe will join me in that. I know it isn't a lot but it is all we can do at the moment.

Please everyone stay safe. Do not go out into the middle of it. Preferably stay home. Pray for the innocent to stay safe and for this to end soon.

Keep safe everyone

What I bought today

Hey girlies! So I know I said that I was going to be doing an Outfit of the day post today buuuuut I woke up really late. Like I woke up at the time I was supposed to leave! So I wasn't wearing any make-up and I don't like having my picture taken without make-up on. Therefore I decided to do a "What I bought today" post.
I didn't buy much, or anything "girly", you know any beauty products or fashion products. But I did buy some other stuff that I thought I would share with you all, because I did promise a post today.
Anyway on with the post.

I got this simply because Jo is on the cover. I was in W.H.Smith, looking for anything Harry Potter, and my friend pointed this out. I freaked out and bought it. It has an interview with her about her heritage because she is going to be on "Who do you think you are?" on Wednesday. So I am going to check that out. I might read all of the magazine, and see what it is like. I've never bought The Radio Times before so I'm not sure if it is any good. If you want I will let you know what I think, although it probably won't be that interesting of a post.

I went into Waterstones specifically for this. I have wanted this for a while but never got around to buying it. But I decided I just had to have it. If you can't quite tell what it is, it is a Golden snitch with a sticker book. The snitch is on a stand, but you can't see it in the picture. It was quite cheap so its obviously not the best quality but I love it anyway. And I will never use the stickers, they will forever be in the book!

Whilst in Waterstones I also bought "A Child In Time" by Ian McEwan because I have to read a bunch of books before going back to school and I had decided about a week ago that this was one of the books that I wanted to read. I am excited to read this and will probably start reading it tomorrow. I have about 5 to read in about 4 weeks so I had better get started haha.

Finally I randomly bought this bear from Build-a-bear. I kind of regret this buy, because I wanted to buy a Harry Potter scarf, but after buying this I couldn't afford it. It is cute though. And whilst in the shop, we were approached by one of the staff, who must have been a Potterhead. My friend was wearing a Horcrux necklace, and he came up and asked if it was from Harry Potter. We got excited but we didn't get to speak to him because he walked off then disappeared :( I am tempted to go back and speak to him haha. I mean it is always good to make friends, especially if they are Potterheads.

That is all I bought today, but in the next few days I will be buying more stuff because I have a few things I need before going to my festival, so I will probably blog those.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

Talk soon

Again I don't know what to write but I really wanted to blog today so I have decided to say that I am on Pottermore! I got on on Tuesday, and was so excited!! I'm still waiting for my second email so I can actually use the site, so for now all I can do is log in. But I don't care! I am one of the one million users who get early access!! So freaking happy!! I can not wait until I get to use the site, it is going to be amazing! =D If any of you guys are on comment me your username! =D

So I don't just want to leave it there, but I don't know what to write! I have an outfit of the day post planned for tomorrow, and I have just thought of a couple of ideas for posts, so I am going to write them down now so I don't forget.

Anyway I'll talk to you all soon

So seeing as I didn't Blog yesterday I thought I should write one today. Thing is though, I have no idea what to write about.

Recently I have found HogwartsRadio, and I (stupidly?) downloaded all of them! From episode 1! There is 109 plus some live episodes and I am only on episode 23. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love them, they are really good. But I kinda wish I was caught up. They are talking about The Half-blood Prince. You know their expectations of it, what they hope is going to be in it, and because I know what is in it, I don't feel part of the discussion  so I really can't wait to catch up. I put them on my phone so I can listen to them all the time. Although my battery doesn't last all that long, meaning when I'm out I need to be careful not to use up my battery. So fa, though, I haven't been out, listening to them, since I found them, so I haven't had that problem. I am, however, out on Thursday, so I will be listening to them on the bus. I'll probably only get through 1 and a half, but, lets face it, its better than none.

Anyway like I said I have no idea what to write about, so I am off to go and make myself a cup of tea (yum)

I'll talk to you all soon

Would you rather: Beauty edition 2011

Hey girlies so I have decided to try really hard to put up more posts. I want to do every day but I know that won't happen very often, so I have decided no less than 3 a week! I just thought about doing BEDA again but then I remembered that I am away for a week during August and won't have a computer or my normal phone with me because I'm at a festival so that won't be happening. That will also be the only week with less than 3 posts.

Anyway today's post is (as you can tell by the title) a Would you rather tag. I think I have done this before in a video (not sure) but I decided to write it up anyway :) So here goes:

1: Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks and lip-glosses or all of your palettes and eye-shadows?
Palettes and eye-shadows simply because I don't always use eye-shadow when I wear make-up but I always use the other stuff.

2: Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
Never be able to cut it again because I don't have the type of face that suits short hair unfortunately

3: Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
On me a pink cheek looks better and more natural so pink cheek.

4: If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or make-up?
Hmm clothes probably because I always wear clothes whereas I don't always wear make-up.

5: Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
Eyeliner as lipstick because it seems more logical (although none of this actually is logical)

6: Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Well we don't have a Sephora in the UK but I think it might be similar to a department store like Debenhams, maybe, and if it is it has more brands to choose from so I'm gonna say Sephora.

7: Would you rather only use one eye-shadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?
Lip colour because that is easier to work with than eye-shadow

8: Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
This is hard because I love summer clothes but I would probably freeze if I wore summer clothes in the winter, because I do live in the UK. I guess in winter you layer up, so I could just wear less layers in the summer so long as its winter clothes, right? Like long sleeves? I like that idea so I will stick with that, winter clothes in summer.

9: Would you rather dark nails or bright nails all year?
Dark nails, I wear that more anyway.

10: Would you rather give up your favourite lip product of eye product?
Eye product. Like I said before, I always wear lip products but not always eye products.

11: Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun?
Pony tail. That's how I wear my hair most of the time anyway.

12: Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?
Never paint my nails. I can go weeks without painting my nails but always have lipgloss/balm on.

13: If you shaved your eyebrows would you rather have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
Hmm sharpie them in everyday, I guess. I would just look weird with no eyebrows.

14: Would you rather live without make-up or nail polish?
Nail polish. If I am going out I like to do both my make-up and nails. But sometimes I forget my nails, yet I could never go out-out without make-up on, because I hate having my picture taken without any make-up on.

Well that was the tag. Hope you enjoyed it. I would love to read your answers to these questions, so if you do do this tag leave a link in the comments below.

Thank you for reading.

Talk soon

I broke my right ankle and it sucks

I am totally fed up! I am fed up of wearing sweat pants, and looking like crap! I completely do not recommend breaking a bone, especially in your leg/ankle/foot. Especially if you like wearing skinny jeans and/or heels. I miss my heels and jeans. I can't even wear leggings cause I'll stretch them :(

Something else I miss is exercise! I never thought I would say that! But right before I broke my ankle I was exercising everyday and was planning on starting a more varied work-out routine and become healthier and fitter but then I went and broke my ankle and I can't to day any proper exercise. I mean I can clean but that is it! I want to start cycling, running, and so much more but I can't and it is so upsetting :(
Before I had a weight-baring cast I had to hop, with crutches, everywhere, even just to the bathroom. That was when I realized how unfit I actually am! I could only hop for a few minutes and had to get carried the rest of the way because my arms or my left hip began to ache so much. It was horrible. That was when I decided; I need to get fitter. I need to exercise more and eat healthier! And I will start eating healthier, as of right now. I feel like if I tell the internet I have to keep to it because so many people could find out and if I fail I will be failing in front of so many people.

Anyway this was just a post venting about how much I hate having a cast on! And I cannot wait to get it off. Which isn't until 11th August (right before I go away)

Let me know, have you ever broken a bone? If so how did you get on with it?

Anyway I will talk to you all soon

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - my reaction *SPOILERS*

Hi everyone hope you are all well. I was planning on doing my outfit and nails I wore when I went to see this but I have a broken ankle so I didn't take any pictures of my outfit. However I have decided to wear the outfit again when I get my cast off and do a post then for you all. I also wanted a video to go with this post but I haven't gotten round to filming it yet, and I am wide awake so decided to write this, and when I upload the video, post that seperately :)

Anyway onto my thoughts on the final :( Harry Potter movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. I have now seen it twice, once the day it came out, and once today. What!? I had to see it the day it came out! And my boyfriend wanted to see it so why not see it with him? :P

Umm I love it! There are somethings I am dissappointed with, like they didn't show Fred dying (not sure if I'm happy or sad about that really) in the Princes tale they didn't show the letter (although they did do something better) they changed the kiss, and they also cut out my favourite bit from the trailer, the bit where Voldemort holds Harry and says "why do you live?" and he replies "because I have something worth living for!" I love that bit and I couldn't wait to see it in the film, but it wasn't there! Please someone tell me I am being an idiot and it was there! I have to have it there! It's my favourite bit from the trailer! Oh and another thing I didn't like was when Harry snaps the elder wand in half. Ok there are 2 things wrong with that bit: 1) it's supposed to be indestructible, so how is it able to be snapped in half? and 2) in the book Harry uses the elder wand to repair his wand, then put it back in Dumbledore's grave, how does Harry fix his wand now? That really annoys me!

Anyway enough of the negatives because although I did disagree with that stuff there was so much that I loved about it too! Like the Princes tale! It keeps making me cry. That is the scene I will forever cry at! It was so beautifully done and Alan Rickman deserves an Oscar nomination for it. I have fallen in love with Snily (thanks to my friend) and I cry at the chapter every time I read it, so actually watching it was hard. I couldn't control myself, I just sob every-time I see it. And I tear up every-time I think of it, or of Snape/Snape and Lily. Although they did it NOTHING like I had imagined, I love it anyway. I love the emotion on Snape's face in every memory. And when he sees Lily, lying there, dead, and he just falls against the wall crying, it breaks my heart and I can't control my tears. I'm actually wanting to cry now, just thinking about it. It's such a powerful scene and I literally only know of 4 people who didn't cry and they were all male, who aren't necessarily the biggest Harry Potter fans. One tiny, little, thing that does annoy me about when Snape dies is that he looks away before he dies. Yes he sees Lily's eyes one last time, but he looks away. He isn't supposed to do that, its supposed to be the last thing he sees. But like I said, it's one tiny little thing and I can get over it.

I adore McGonagall and Neville in this film, I mean I love them in all the other films, but in this one we get to see them fight, they have turned into bad-asses! and I love it! My favourite line from them, happens to be when they are together Neville says "Boom?" and her reply? "Boom!" and I just love it! I also love the way McGonagall says to Molly, after making the status come alive (mind block, can't remember the spell) and she just turns to Molly and says "I've always wanted to use that spell" the way she says it though, its like she is a little kid, all excited, and it makes me love her even more. A line I love from Neville is when he is on the bridge, and the death eaters can't get through the protection charms and he just yells "Yeah, you and who's army?" I love it. Neville has really grown up and he is so strong now. He now leads Dumbledore's Army. He truly is a Gryffindor in this film. How can you not love Neville?

Another thing I loved was Helena Bohem Carter, when she is playing Hermione as Bellatrix. The way she does it is incredible I mean not many actors can play other actors roles, if that makes sense. But Helena did a great Hermione. You could tell that it is really Hermione, throughout the entire scene and I love it so much. I love Helena so much, she is one of my favourite actresses and this just made me love her more. Isn't she just amazing though? How can you not love her?
I love how in love with Voldemort Bellatrix is, but obviously, he doesn't feel the same way, yet she won't give up. I really like that about her, she doesn't give up on what she loves. I think its a really great message that Jo put in there, even though its through one of the villains. I think that is why she did so well with Harry Potter. She teaches us something through all her characters. Not many authors do that, especially in children's books. But Jo does and that, in my opinion, is what makes her appeal to such a wide audience, and is why she has done so well.

I love JK Rowling so much. She is my inspiration and my hero. I would love so much to meet her one day. I owe so much to her, because without Harry Potter, I don't know where I would be. Harry Potter has always been there when I am down. I turn to my books to keep me sane, to cheer me up and to make me feel less lonely. It is such a huge part of me and I am so upset that it is over. But the final film may have been released, but in no way is that the end of Harry Potter, the legend has only just begun. And we still have Pottermore, and Con's. I am determined to go to a Harry Potter con. at least once in my life. I will go!

Anyway I should go I have a hospital appointment at 9:30am and it is now 1:06am don't know how I am going to be up in time but oh well.

I will be filming a couple of videos tomorrow and will be writing another post soon.

Talk soon and remember
"Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home"

Long Live Harry Potter

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 World Premier - my reaction

Wow! That is all I can say! It was so emotional and it kind of left me feeling a little bit nostalgic. Apparently it was the biggest premier that London has ever had. And to be fair you could totally tell. It covered Trafalgar square, which is where everyone arrived then went through a "Diagon Alley" which unfortunately wasn't shown :( I wish they had shown it because I would've loved to have seen how they re-created it and if they did it right.

Imagine that full of people and you will see exactly the scale of the premier. Unfortunately I can't find a birds eye view of the premier but this was taken, maybe a day, before hand and you can already see it starting to fill up with Potterheads! =D

Almost everyone looked beautiful. Well in my opinion only one person didn't but I know other people loved her dress. I am talking about Bonnie Wright, (Ginny Weasley) I really didn't like her dress. I felt it didn't suit her at all. I guess it is my opinion but I thought the dress was ugly.

I guess it is kind of elegant. But I still don't like it. I did however LOVE Emma Watson's dress!

I mean isn't it absolutely gorgeous? Sort of reminds me of ballet. Which I love! And I have to admit her hair is starting to get better now that it is growing out. I hated her hair when she first got it cut but now that it is growing out it is starting to look really good and if I am honest I don't think she could wear that dress with long hair, well at least without a lot of effort being put into an up do. I just love her dress =] And I really like Jo's dress too. It was beautiful and looked amazing on her.

She is so beautiful and I love her so much. She is the reason for this huge premier. Without her none of this would've even been possible. If you follow me on Twitter you would've seen just how much I love her and how she is my hero and inspiration. She inspires me everyday with Harry Potter and I want to thank her so much for creating this world and I will never stop loving Harry Potter and I will always return to Hogwarts.

After everyone had arrived there was a surprise for everyone. Warner Bro's CEO (I think) made a speech. Then the 3 Davids made a speech, then Dan, Emma, Rupert and Finally Jo. It was beautiful and made me cry. Emma and Jo were crying before they even started their speeches and Rupert choked up during his. It really was beautiful and the best ending to the best premier. These 2 pictures of Emma are absolutely beautiful in my opinion and I feel they show everyone just how much Harry Potter means to people.

 I feel that they show that it is such an emotional end. Harry Potter has been her life for 10 years. And now it is over and her emotions are exactly how Potterheads everywhere feel right now and during the premier. I'm not going to lie I was crying. What finished me off was what Jo said: "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home" I couldn't hold it any longer and I sobbed. I don't know how I am going to cope on Friday I am going to be in pieces. It really was beautiful and I am even more excited to watch it.

If you haven't watched the premier I recommend looking for it. I'm sure it will be on YouTube. And if you have watched it let me know what you thought.

Talk to you all soon

Hey girls how are we all? Ok so this is an old outfit I wore it a few weeks ago and tried to post it from my phone but is wouldn't work and I have only now got round to uploading it on here.

I was at a fancy dress party for a YF social and as you can tell by the title it was a jungle theme. A bunch of us decided to go as explorers/"I'm a celeb..." contestants =] It was a really good night, I had a load of fun! =D

Anyway here are the pictures =]

Yes I am awesome! ha-ha I couldn't take serious looking pictures so I was being all posy ha-ha.

Everything I am wearing was from Primark simply because its cheap and I knew I was going to be ruining the back of the shirt, anyway, with marker pen =]

Hope you enjoyed this post. There will be another fancy dress outfit of the day soon. It will coincide with my nails of the day post which is also due soon =]

It is the one mentioned in my last post.

Anyway this is just a super quick update because as you (should) know it is mothers day and I'm gonna chill out with my amazing mummy =] Just wanted to let you all know where I have been. And now you know why I might not update very often, although I will try and upload more often.

Outfit Of The Day #5

Hey everyone this was supposed to be uploaded last night but I didn't take the pictures until I was about to get ready for bed, and it was dark, hence the bad quality. I am most likely to wear this outfit again because I love it so much and when I do I will re-post it with better pictures. 

Sunglasses - I won these last year they are 'Who's behind those fosters?' Think you can buy them from Superdrug =] they are Aviator glasses = 

Jacket - I'm not sure where it is from I have had it for years and it was my mums before that. It is real leather so that is why it has lasted so long LOL

Top - I bought this in September from Primark =] It is white with ruffles on the bottom =] I love this top =]

Leggings - Just plain leggings from Primark

I also wore my Ugg boots but I had taken them off before taking the picture LOL and I was wearing a 'pearl' necklace with love written on it from Primark but you can't see it.

Like I said I love this outfit so will probably wear this again and post this again but with better pictures.

Let me know what you think in the comments =]

Outfit Of The Day #4

Umm ok so they wouldn't rotate =/ Sorry about that =/ But you can see them well enough I guess =/

Anyway on with what I am wearing:

Earrings - Dorethy Perkins, they were on sale so I'm not sure you can buy them anymore
Necklace - Primark, thought I would add colour =] but you can't buy it anymore because I bought it last year =/ sorry =[
Cardigan - Primark, this is so comfy I love it so much =]
Lace top - Primark, I love how this looks, it is really summery but the darkness of the navy means it is still perfect for winter =]
Leggings - Primark, I live in leggings they are so comfy =] Primark leggings are dirt cheap at only £3 I love them =]
Boots - They are my Uggs which I got for Christmas so I don't know where to buy them but you can check online =]
