I don't know

Hey everyone I really want to write a post but I have no idea what to write about today. I am supposed to be doing homework, which right now should be reading The Great Gatsby, but I am so sleepy and the book is not that great (from what I have read) that I just can't do it =/ I am definitely having an early night tonight. And by early I don't mean 11 o'clock I mean 9 o'clock. 11 o'clock is late for me and I know that that is not normal for an 18 year old but I am a day person so ya know =P I went to sleep about 11 last night which is why I am so tired today cause I have been up since 5:40am for work so going to bed at 11 is not that great when you have to be up so early ha-ha. I have work tomorrow morning as well plus up late tomorrow night (well for me anyway =P) so I definitely need an early night tonight =P
I am trying to watch a video be SWalkermakeup but it won't load =[ I really want to watch it =[

Oh I just remembered I finally have editing software. I am so excited to use it properly. I used for my haul video but only to change the format. I can't wait to try editing with it. I have never edited a video before so I am probably going to fug it up ha-ha. Oh well practice makes perfect right =P

I am in such an organising mood. I can't wait to do it tomorrow. I kind of have tomorrow planned and because I have nothing else to write I am going to tell you all =P
Ok so obviously I have to go to work but when I come home I am getting changed and doing my make-up and filming 3 videos. Going to edit them all tomorrow but only upload 1. I am then going to clean and organise my room. I am getting 2 black bags, 1 for bin and 1 for charity and I am going through everything I own and deciding what to get rid off, including make-up. The only things not included are my books and anything Harry Potter =P. I am also deep deep cleaning my brushes. I am going to try something different to clean them but I don't want to say what it is until I have done it encase it doesn't work ha-ha. If it works I will do a post on it showing you what I did. I will take pictures tomorrow whilst doing it. Then after I have done all that I am off out to my friends church group which I now go to so you could say it is my church group too ha-ha. I will be there until about 10 then I gotta come home and get ready for bed which seems to take forever lately ha-ha, then I am off to bed. My life is super exciting isn't it =P I bet you all wish you had my life =P JK JK.

Anyway I am off I don't want to bore you all any-more. Talk soon

Kenneth Tong - Boo Loving yourself - Yay

Hey lovelies so I was on twitter last night and saw that people were ranting about someone called Kenneth Tong, and simply because I am nosy I decided to check out his twitter account to see what they were talking about. And I have to say I am disgusted by what I saw. His whole page was about 'monitored anorexia' and that to be successful you have to be a size 0. It made me really quite angry and I wanted to have a rant about it but decided I would wait until today and write it as a Blog as I can say more about it. Plus I was in bed at the time.

OK so first of all there is no such thing as 'monitored anorexia'. If you become anorexic you are really ill, mentally and physically. You can't monitor anorexia. You are only anorexic if you are already ill. Not just trying to lose weight.
Second of all you do NOT have to be a size 0 to be successful! To be successful you need to be healthy and happy. Being a size 0 is NOT healthy and it is NOT sexy or womanly. Do you want to look like a child? Curves are what make us women. And do you wanna know something? Men find it sexy.

I find it horrible that this man is making girls have 0 confidence. Why would anyone want to do that? Also why would you want a 'thinspiration'? Be who you are. If you are naturally skinny then enhance it. If you are curvy enhance it. No matter what shape your body is you need to be proud of it. Don't try and change yourself to be successful or because some jerk says you need to. You don't! You should be proud of your body.

One thing in particular which was a recurring tweet of his, was that curvy people can't be successful. Bulls**t! Hello ever heard of Beyonce, Jordin Sparks, Oprah, J-Lo, Kimberley Walsh? They are only a few and look how successful they are. And guess what? They are curvy! Of course you can be successful if you are curvy! Success has nothing to do with your size, it has to do with your brain, your skills and your talent. If you are judged ignore them. No-one should judge you. No-one has the right to make you feel bad about yourself. You are the only person who has the right to judge you. And even then you shouldn't be hard on yourself. You should love yourself.
Wanna know the best way to be successful? Be happy, healthy and confident. Confidence is the best thing anyone can have. People who are successful are successful because they exude confidence. It is sexy and shows you want what you want and you will get it. People love confident people. All the best people exude confidence. And its not hard for you to do that too. All you have to do is learn to love yourself.

So next time you are getting dressed look at your body and say "My body is sexy and I don't need to change anything about it"

Remember stand tall, be confident and you will be successful.

Love you all

December Favourites

Hey lovelies how are you all? I know, I know I have not posted anything in such a long time and I am ashamed *hangs head in shame* But with school and Christmas. I have just not had much chance. Plus my charger for my laptop broke again so I had no laptop for a week. So yeah that is my excuse for no posts =/

Anyway I thought I would do a December Favourites post but I am ill so I am not going to get pictures for you but when I will also be doing this as a video soon so if you wanna see the products I mention I will do a post with a link =] Onto the favourites =]

Ok the first thing is the Garnier nutritionist caffeine eye roll on. OMGG this is amazing. I am the type of person who always has bags and dark circles under my eyes so I thought I would try this and I fell in love with it. It doesn't get rid of the circles but it does get rid of the puffiness. I want to try the tinted one to get rid of the circles. The roll on leaves you looking awake and fresh which is what everyone wants so I totes recommend this =]
Next is the Superdrug Tea Tree and Peppermint spot stick. I am a teenager. I get spots. Its part of life. But obviously I don't want spots so I decided to try this. I needed face wipes and this was on offer with them so I thought why not? And I do not regret it. I think it is really good, it really does help get rid of any spots and stop new ones forming. I don't use it all the time just if I feel a spot coming up or I have a huge spot that is disgusting. But I have to say that for the price it is pretty good. Obviously there are better versions on the market but you will have to fork out for it. With this you get results and half the price so if you are a spotty teenager or you get spots (especially time of the month ladies) then I recommend this. After all it is only £2.99 and is on offer right now for buy 2 for £4.49. Bargain! =D
Next is a saviour! E45 cream. If you live in the UK you will know that the weather has been terrible. Perfect for Christmas though LOL. Anyway with the air being so dry and being out in the cold then going into a house with the heating blasting or vice versa really dries out your skin. So E45 cream has been great. Unfortunately I started using it a little but too late and my skin was dead and I had to go to the doctors and was prescribed a different cream yesterday. If you are not like me and leave it too late to get some E45 cream then it would be perfect for you but I left it too late. Oops. Still love it though and recommend it to anyone who has dry skin.
Last favourite of the month is a make-up product and it is the Body Collection Sultry eyes in Mocha. Obviously I have not been able to wear make-up much because of my dry skin but when I do this is what I reach for. It is amazing. You can do a smokey eye or a neutral day time look. It is so great. Also it is really pigmented which I love =D
Oh almost forgot. Another favourite of mine is the Nivea lip care essential (the blue one) Best. Lip-balm. Ever. All I am gonna say. It is so moisturising so you have to buy. Just saying LOL

Ok that is it for my December favourites. Hope you enjoyed the post. Leave your favourites in the comments or link me to your post. Love reading and watching favourites videos. Gives me great ideas =D

Talk to you all soon.
