April Favourites 2014

April Favourites 2014

1.  Thorntons Harry Hopalot chocolate bunny - seeing as it was Easter this month I thought it was only right that I included an Easter product!  Dan (the boyfriend) got me this and the funny thing is, is that I got him the exact same thing!  Great minds think a like aye!

2.  Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder - ok I know that this product is highly hyped about in Blogger world so I thought I would try it out..the first day I bought it I dropped it so it smashed absolutely everywhere so it's impossible to use without making a mess :/ it retails at about £4 so you can't go wrong it keeps the shine away on my face and does matteify it however I don't think it lasts all day so remember to carry it around with you! My shade also is 001 transparent!

3.  Pantene repair and protect dry oil - I was looking for an oil/conditioner or just something to put in my hair once I've washed it while it's damp so I picked this up to use as an oil/serum and oh my god it makes my hair so shiny and soft!  In my opinion I wouldn't say that it has repaired my hair in anyway or protects it but it does make it incredibly soft and it's cheap also.

4.  Fiji Water - this stuff is the bomb seriously!  I know the Kardashians drink it but seriously I discovered this a few years back but I've only just recently been getting back into it and take it from me, it does actually taste better than normal water and I'm usually the first person to tell someone to shut up if they say something like that, ha!  But no honestly it's so refreshing and the packaging is beautiful!

5. Collection - does it all waterproof mascara - I wanted a new mascara so I popped into Boots and picked this up seeing as it was cheap, I didn't know what to expect from it but it has turned out to be quite a good mascara!  The finish it leaves on your lashes is good, it makes them quite long and volumized but sometimes clunky and it dries out quite quickly, ah well!

6.  Nivea powerfruit refresh shower gel (flavour - goji berry and cranberry) - omg this stuff is just amazing!  The smell of this fragrance is just so nice and refreshing to use especially in the morning!  It's just so creamy and lovely ahhh!

7.  Mac lipstick in "flat out fabulous" - if you seen my wishlist #1 then you will know that this product was on it!  I plucked up the courage to spend another 15 quid on a lipstick and it had to be this one, I'm just so obsessed and the finish of it is beautiful!  It's very matte so make sure you pop a lip balm underneath it! It's a dark pink but bright at the same time?!  AWFUL at describing products

Wishlist #1

Wishlist #1

Recently there have been so many things that I have been wanting including fashion and beauty bits but to be honest I just haven't got the money atm to get them seeing as I'm saving up for Dan's 18th :( anywho if I had all the money in the world I would by these  4 things especially:

1.  Vagabond Dioon Elastic Chelsea Boot - These boots are just..literally I need these in my life.  They retail in Office at £90 which to be honest isn't that bad seeing as they're real leather.  I just think they could be a classic piece to have in your wardrobe and I can see them going with absolutely everything I have.

2.  Mac Flat Out Fabulous Lipstick - This lipstick is a matte finish but like ultra matte?  To the point were you put it on your lips and forget its there and try rubbing both lips together and its virtually impossible.  The amount of times I go into Mac and put this lipstick on.. but really wear a balm underneath!  It's a plummy pink colour?  Absolutely shit at describing colours ha!  This will definitely be on the birthday wishlist if I haven't already forked out £15 for it! Seriously 15 quid for a lipstick?! wtf 

3.  Chloe Perfume - I am in love.  So classy.  End of.

4.  Naked 3 Pallet - The amount of bloggers that I have seen raving about this product is unreal and tbh I can see why, I'm so jellyy of everyone who has i it :'( so many pretty colours I would have ours with fun with this pallet too bad its like 40 quid :( 


                                      What's on your wishlist? x

summer loving ~ 18/4/14 ~ ootd & BBQ

It officially feels like summer today, we've got the blue skies out and the sun wahoo!  I wanted to stick with jeans but wear a top that will keep me quite warm so I went with a h&m white tank on top and my trusty Joni jeans on the bottom and keeping it classic with my dm's!  I love the top especially because it's so airy and has cut out sleeves so you can see a bit of bra keeping it quite miley Cyrus and rock like ☺️ 

  

                      The outfit 

My hair was unbelievably greasy and I just couldn't be arsed washing it so I blitzed my hair with dry shampoo and threw it up in a shitty bun and it turned out like that 😝 I'm working on it ok ! 

                      The makeup

Even though it's summer now I still apply the same makeup as I would in the winter but I would do a light nude smokey eye but still keeping it real with the eyeliner! ✌️ 

                      The BBQ ! 

Youve gotta love a BBQ ! 

We had ones of your typical sausages and burgers but you know what they already look like so yeah ☺️

My way on how to ignore bullies and just general arseholes

I can guarantee there will be one time in your life where you have felt shit and down due to someones actions and words.  It might have been a one off situation or it still might be happening right now, I'm sorry to tell you but if you are still getting ongoing abuse from someone for no reason whatsoever then this is bullying.

People wanted me to write a blog post on how you can ignore bullies and how to deal with them, I think people are looking for answers due to having no idea on how to cope with these horrible dickheads.  In school we are taught that bullying is wrong and that it shouldn't happen so why does it still occur?  Why do people still feel the need to make fun of certain people and discourage them for no reason?  Well, people are fucking horrible that's why.  Some people feel big and clever to take the piss out of more vulnerable people, people who they know won't say anything back to them.  Bullies tend to find targets and victims, these people are more likely to be quiet and stand out from the crowd however they might just be shy individuals.  

Often the bullies themselves are popular people and people tend to look up to them because they are popular and they immadiately think they are cool, because the bullies are the ring leaders in most cases people will do whatever they are told by them and just follow them.  Bullies will find someone who will be quiet and can say things to them and they know this person won't say anything back then other people will join in to bully them.  Often, people can bully people for the way they look and dress, when I was growing up I used to get absolutely slated for how I dressed even though I wouldn't call it bullying.  I took it on the chin though because I realised that these people saying this are just lonely fuckers who have nothing better to do with their time.  One thing I realised though as to why bullies do what they do is because they are looking for attention and praise and they want to feel big, by doing this they put other people down.

Ways on how to cope with bullies:

1. Stand up for yourself.  As soon as you stand up for yourself they will back off, trust me.  Standing up for yourself takes so much confidence and it's a fucking scary thing to do I know but it has to be done in order for them to fuck off and leave you alone.
2. Do not get physical.  This will not sort anything.  You might want to start a fight with them to show them that you're not as pathetic as they think you are but this will just be the worst thing to do because you will get in so much shit for it.
3. Be clever.  You could walk straight up to them and just go 'aww, such a shame that you have to be horrible to me to make yourself feel better.' this will shock them, especially in front of their friends.
4. Stick your middle finger up to them and just say 'fuck you.' I've done this many of times and no one bothers me now :)

~ self confidence ~

The amount of bloggers that I have seen writing about 'self confidence' & 'self esteem' is just unreal.  Nearly every blogger will make a post about these 2 things sooner or later and this subject is something that's quite personal to me.  I'm not going to sit here and type about how I've been through lots of shit about my image and be all melodramatic but yanno shit happens and bad things have been said about me and my style but worse things could have been said so yeah anyway let's get onto it...

One thing in life is that one day you're going to realise that other people's opinions shouldn't influence you in any way shape or form!  I would like to say opinions don't matter to us but in most cases they do.  We're human of course we're going to listen to people's perspective on us and it's going to hurt at times if they say something nasty but the difference is, is knowing how to deal with it and being able to take it as constructive critism.

If you are someone like me who likes to dress in your own little way and you dot follow the latest fashion trends then you might have had some people in the past make comments on your style, ( i definitely have ) some good comments and some bad.  When people say nice things about me and the way I look and dress it makes me feel good and more confident however when I was younger and I had these comments thrown at me it made me feel fucking shit, thinking i was a weirdo especially growing up in liverpool and expecting to be a proper scouse bird, well nah that's not me however on a night out i do like getting all done up anyway that's a whole different subject!  As I've became older I've realised why people pass comment in a nasty way about you, it's because they're just simply boring bastards who are just Genuinley jealous that they don't have the bollocks to stand out like you.  

Next time someone says something offensively I want you all to put your fucking finger up to them and tell them to get a grip.  Don't stoop to their level and insult them because you wouldn't be much better but just realise why they're being like that with you, brush it off your shoulders and don't give a flying fuck! ✌️
