Love ...Hate....TAG!!

I was tagged in a tweet the other day by Amy, @Missionamills (her blog is in her bio) for a Love/Hate tag, were you tag different bloggers for them to do the same. 

The rules of this tag are simple. When another Blogger nominates you to do this tag, you must state 10 things you love, and 10 things you hate... Simple isn't it? Then to carry it on, tag another 10 Bloggers to do the same. 

I think this tag is such a great idea as it lets us get to know each other more and fun to write about!! 

10 things I love: 

1)My boyfriend (kevin). We have been through so much together that no one our age should have to go through. We have our up's and down's but I wouldn't change him for the world!! 

2)DISNEY!!! Of course most of you who read my Blog will already know I have a love (obsession) with Disney, can't get enough of it!

3)Animals. They are just so cute! If I could, I would have a house full of them but my house is too small and I don't think my Mam would be very happy about it hahaha!!

4)Food. Can not forget the love for food haha!! I try to eat healthy all the time but it always gets ruined, mostly by pizza.

5)My Mam. She has helped me through so much not just this year but the whole 17 years. Times get tough but I always have my Mam.

6)Floral designs. I love flowers they are so beautiful! But I can't have flowers because of my hay fever so I will stick to getting the floral printed clothes and hair pieces. 

7)American Candy. It is probably the best candy ever!! I wish they sold this in every shop instead of travelling out of town to find an American sweet shop. 

8)Mugs&Cups. Every single time we go shopping I think I come back with either a Mug from the Disney Store or Nice cup with a straw. (You probably know the type of cups I mean)

9)CHRISTMAS!!! It is soooo close to Christmas I can't contain my excitement. I want the tree up now. 

10)Socks. My Mam is forever telling me to stop buying so many socks. I end up buying them because they look cute, I think I have about 20+ pairs of socks.  

10 Things I hate:

1) Thunder and Lightening. I absolutely HATE it!!! 17 year old and when it is stormy I still have to go and get my Mam to hide under her arm from the flashes and noise. 

2)Weight. I hate the fact that when you eat food it makes you put on weight. why can't it just keep us at one size so we can eat as much as we want. Like pizza.

3)Iphone chargers. I think a lot of people will agree on that one. They just break constantly!

4)Feet. I can't stand it when people stick their feet in my face or touch me with their feet. Bork!!

5)Fake friends. I've come to realise who my real friends are and its most likely not to be the ones who are your "Best Friends." 

6)Seagulls. I live right on the coast so we are surrounded by seagulls and I can't stand them. Swooping down on you in the school yard just to get your food and poo on you. No thanks. 

7)Anxiety. Living with anxiety is awful. When you feel like an anxiety attack is happening basically stops you from doing what you want to do and brings you down.

8)Slow replies. when I am texting or typing I am really fast at replying but it feels like you wait for an eternity for someone else to reply to you. 

9)Moths and Spiders. HATE HATE HATE!!! If there is a huge spider or moth in my room someone else (most likely my Mam) has to come and kill it for me. 

10)Waiting. When you have to wait for like a year just for another season of your favourite TV show to start again... Annoying!! 

So these are my top 10 things I love and Hate. I am going to tag the 10 Bloggers on twitter and then will leave them in the comments.

I hope you enjoyed this post. 

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

What's wrong with Musicals???

I really don't see why some people slate musicals? You can never ever go wrong with a good musical. 

I Love musicals so much!! I think ever since I was little I have always, always loved musicals. I haven't seen every musical out there, but I probably do know most of the songs since I constantly listen to Musicals and Disney and most of the time, Disney movies are kind of Musicals as well. 

(Not really relevant to the topic but...) 

Wednesday at the pub quiz we go to, I was saying all day to kev the music round will be Disney, because I have been waiting for the Disney theme round for agesss, and when they said theme was Disney I literally screamed and they handed me the sheet and I was in charge of the answers. 

There were two song titles I got wrong from "Bed knobs and Broom Sticks" and "Marry poppins" But i was pretty sure the song they sing at the bank in "Marry Poppins" was called 'Tuppence' ....Obviously not. 

I think my top 5 favourite musicals have to be (Excluding Disney):

-Grease 

-Les Mis 

-Dirty Dancing 

-Sunshine on Leith  

-Hairspray 

If I wasn't so shy and I was a more outgoing person, I maybe would of chosen the acting route maybe, I can't sing I can dance a little but I would of loved to be part of a musical or production!!

Some people just can't understand why musicals are just so good!! When I was a kid I think it was Disney movies that started it, then High School Musical and then it took over from there. There are soooo many musicals I love. You just can't help but sing along to them, I don't get why some people hate them Hahaha!! In November I am reallly hoping to see Shrek the musical, it would be soooo good!! 

If you know of any good musicals that I may not have seen please comment them below!! I hope you all love musicals just as much as I do!

Hope you have a great Day/Evening/ Night

Dismaland- Yes or No?

I was thinking about doing a post on Dismaland and when I took to twitter to ask what you all wanted to read someone mentioned this and I thought 'Why not?'. 

For those who might not know what it is, Dismaland is a different type of theme park made my the artist Banksy. Now when I heard the name to this them park I thought 'Well this doesn't sound appealing' and when I looked at the photographs of inside the theme park I was so freaked out. It was like it was wanting me to be scared of the Disney Castle and The little Mermaid. But I guess it is meant to be like that to be the UK's most disappointing theme park.

I don't even know why anyone would want to go into the theme park. I reckon it would be good for Halloween events or like scare zones for Halloween like they do in Universal for Horror Nights. It has certainly got hidden messages around the park in my opinion as that is what every artist aims for in my opinion. Like the little remote control boats that have lots of people on as though it has a hidden message or wants you to feel a certain way. 

When I have been doing my research, I came across a picture of a killer whale jumping out of a toilet into a small little paddling pool for kids, and to me this gives a very strong message across and kind of links with Sea World in Orlando which I don't agree with either. Yeah it's lovely to see the different animals but their enclosures and tanks are just wayyy too small for them and they are trying to open another Sea World in Dubai which I don't think should go ahead. 

To me, this really freaks me out and I don't like it. But hey! That's just my opinion, there may be people out there who really like this sort of thing and intrigued by it, but personally I don't really like it. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. 

I'm not going to post any photos of this, Just in case there are watermarked or in need of permission to use them. Let me know your views on Dismaland.

Thunder Storms are the WORST!!!

I am literally so scared of Thunder and Lightening and this year only we have had the most horrible Thunderstorms ever!!

About 3 month ago we had a really bad Thunderstorm and my Mam was late home from work so I had to phone up her work to see if she had left yet and to tell her to hurry up home. (She was finished work anyway so it was fine) 

But on Saturday Night we had the most terrible Thunderstorm!!! Honestly, it seemed like it lasted for about 3-4 hours! I didn't even dare walk around the house on my own. 

The lightening was that bad it was hitting the flour outside in my garden and lighting up the full sky like purple/Pink/Blue! I didn't get any photos because I was too chicken to look outside my window and take photos... So instead I sat in the floor cuddling my rabbits and dog because they were literally running around like mad!!! 

If you live anywhere in the North East of England or Midlands, I think those places were battered by heavy rain and Thunderstorms and even places that don't usually flood with rain were not even accessible due to the flooding. It was MAD!!! 

(This isn't a video from the other night but this is pretty much what it looked like)

I just hope we don't get any more Thunderstorms because this one was terrible and hate them all!! It can't just be me who is scared of thunder?! 17 year old and I still get scared hahah!! 

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

Suffering with Anxiety

Hey!!

I have written this post because I know a lot of people around my age are suffering with anxiety problems and for that to be leading to depression, so I thought it would be a good idea to write about my experiences suffering wit anxiety and the ways that I tried to control and overcome the feeling of anxiety. 

I do suffer from anxiety and I used to be unaware of what to do when this feeling overcame me. I used to have really bad panic attacks half way through last year and they continued. Many situations in life can cause you to feel like this. For me, it was the fact that I had fallen out with all of my friends and the new ones I hung around with didn't even bother with me. That is also the same for this year that no one has bothered with me but I have coped in many other ways. I did also have problems with exams, teachers, family problems and lots of other little situations but everything does get better!! You just need to find the right coping mechanism for this. 

There are many ways for you to be able to control your feelings of anxiety and panic attacks. I did go to the doctors for some help with mine because I didn't know what to do and I found that they didn't really help me but someone in college did, and they gave me lots of advice on anxiety and how to be able to control panic attacks and it has really helped me. 

One technique which I thought worked well was blowing up a balloon or blowing into a paper bag. I found that these worked to control your breathing patterns and to calm down the nerves. Also, having cups of tea really helped me and I have started to drink it a lot more, and the technique I am using now is actually the Rescue Remedy black current flavoured pallets which are just like jelly sort of sweets to help calm the nerves and all have natural herbs in and are 100% not addictive!! (which is good as some medications can cause that). You can purchase these at 'Holland&Barrett's'.  

I do recommend that if you suffer from anxiety and panic attacks you do try these, as they will help in so many ways and really calm your nerves. If you want any more advice on suffering with anxiety please feel free to message me through twitter or email and I can get back to you asap!!

You don't need to suffer alone!! I hope this post has really helped because I know these sort of problems can get pushed aside and forgot about.(unfortunately) 

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

Disney Releases :D

I am so looking forward to all of these Disney releases coming so soon!! I have literally been waiting so long for Incredibles 2 to come out... I'm pretty sure there was a second Incredibles Play station 2 game unless I'm just imagining things... 

Over the next couple of years Disney and Disney Pixar are releasing so many good films!! Incredibles 2, Finding Dory, Toy Story 4, Cars 3, Pirates of the Caribbean and probably a lot more but they are the only ones I can think of right now... OH! And also can't forget Beauty and The Beast which I am literally dying to see as Beauty and The Beast is my favourite Disney film EVER!!! 

I don't even care how old I am going to be when these new films come out, I will probably be 19/20 years old , but I am going to the cinema to watch it!! The cinema will probably be full of my age group instead of little kids because we have waited for sooooo long just for these films to be released!!

What I am also looking forward to is the new lands that they are bringing to Disney World and Disney Land. Disney land is so much closer to me than Disney world but one day I really want to travel to Orlando, Florida just to go to Disney World (and Universal). 

If you don't already know, they are bringing many more lands such as Star Wars, Toy Story Land and Avatar. I know that they have already shut a lot of rides down at Disney World like Voyage of the Little Mermaid, the Animation drawing building and the Jack Sparrow ride which I have never actually had chance to test out and never going to get chance to now hahah... oh well I'm sure all the new rides will be worth it (hopefully). 

One year I really want to go to D23 Expo as well as it would be such an amazing experience and be surrounded by people who will be just excited as you are when Disney release new things. I didn't even know something like this existed until this year which I feel bad a out but I am sooo glad I found out about it!! 

If anyone knows of anything else Disney are releasing and I haven't mentioned please tell me!! and share your thoughts with me if you are excited as I am, because right now I feel like a 5 year old again and it's great!!!

(this isn't even relevant but I laughed for ages)

Bye Bye Summer

Last week and the beginning of this week, the weather was beautiful!! We hardly had any rain, yeah it was slightly windy some days but it was still lovely and warm. The sun was out and hardly any clouds in the sky so it was really warm during the day which was lovely!! 

Now we are back to the miserable British weather, were it constantly rains all day and its dull and gloomy outside...It's been like this all day! So I've been stuck in the house all day, tidying up and helping my Mam since she was daft enough to break her foot. But I don't mind this weather, when it is the right time of year for it like Autumn/Winter time. So I'm guessing summer will be over sooner than expected since we are due to have a heavy rainfall over the next few days.

Last week I took these two pictures of the sunset from my bedroom window and it looks amazing!! I just had to share these with you all because the sunset is beautiful! I did try to get a time laps of the sunset but it didn't work properly... I will try to do that another time though. 

                   

I hope everyone got the grades they wanted if you were collecting AS/A levels yesterday!! 

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

Good Luck!!!

Sorry this post is slightly late, our weekly quiz ran over time so I didn't actually get home until about an hour ago. Unfortunately we didn't Win we came 4th... but this week the questions were bad, very bad. 

But I just want to wish those who are collecting AS/A level results tomorrow, Good Luck and I hope you get the grades that you had hoped and worked hard for! I will be also collecting my AS results tomorrow and they hadn't even crossed my mind or been worried for them at all. I am slightly nervous but it could go either way I just hoped I haven't failed completely. 

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! 

(and good luck for those collecting GCSE results on the 20th!!)

Have a good Day/Evening/Night

Recently Watched Films

Last week I decided to watch two Disney films which I had not yet seen. I really don't know why I hadn't watch them until now because they are amazing!! 

The first film I watched was Wreck-It-Ralph and it's probably one of my favourite Disney films now it is soooo good. I just loved the fact that the film was based around the characters inside of old and new arcade games which was different and I think it really worked for the film. I also liked the fact that Disney are making films where there is a turn for the 'Bad' character in the film and for them to turn out to be the Hero of the film. If you haven't yet seen it, it's a must watch film, I really enjoyed watching it. This was also one of the films that was on my Disney film list to watch and I'm sooo glad I did. 

The second film I had watched last week was Maleficent. I have never actually seen Sleeping Beauty the Disney animation, but I have seen the ballet of Sleeping Beauty and read the story, So I know the story line. But Sleeping Beauty is also on my Disney Film list, so i will get around to watching it. 

I thought Maleficent was also such a great film! (Kev was the one who chose to watch the film and he claims he doesn't like Disney hahaha). At first I was so confused because I didn't know Maleficent was meant to be a fairy and when the it got further into the film I felt really sorry for Maleficent as the person she thought she had fallen in love with (Aurora's Father) cut off her wings and that is why she had so much hatred for the king and his daughter. 

The film is a must watch because it is so great and getting to see the different side of Maleficent makes you love her rather than hating her. Even though I didn't get to see the last 20 minutes of the film because my Mam came to pick me up... It is still such a great film even if I didn't get to see the ending. 

It is slightly like Wreck-it-Ralph with the storyline of the 'Bad' Character ending up being the Hero of the story. If you watch or have watched both of these you will see what I mean. 

I really loved watching both of these films and I hope to watch more Disney films I haven't yet seen and tell you all what I thought about them and what you all think as well!! 

Have a great Day/Night/Evening

Triple Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Okay guys here it is, been saying for days now I will post the recipe I use to bake my Brownies and I'm finally getting round to doing it!! 

So first of all you are going to need your ingredients:

• 190g- Unsalted Butter 
• 140g- Dark Chocolate 
• 50g- White Chocolate 
• 85g- Plain Flour
• 40g- Cocoa Powder 
• 50g- Milk Chocolate 
• 3 Large Eggs
• 285g Golden Caster Sugar 

Also, of course you are going to need Scales,oven (or brownie maker), bowls and other utensils but I will include these in the steps. 

1)  With a small pan, melt the butter and dark chocolate on a low heat. Stir regularly to stop butter burning. Leave aside to cool. 

2) Sift the Flour and Cocoa Powder in a separate bowl. 

3) Chop the Milk and White Chocolate into small chunks. Or, place into a bag and hit them with a rolling pin. 

4) In a separate bowl, whisk the Eggs and Sugar together until pale and fluffy. Then add the cool Chocolate and Butter mixture and fold together. 

5)Add the Sifted Flour and Cocoa Powder and fold together again. Once folded, add the chocolate chunks. 

6) In a Brownie maker, leave them about 10 Minutes then to check if they are cooked, stick a knife or spatula into a brownie and if there is mixture left on it then leave them for another 1-2 minutes. 

7) For an oven I would leave them for 10 minutes on 200 degrees and if they are not cooked, leave them for another 10 minutes until they are cooked. (place the mixture into a greased baking tray or trays.)

I did use a brownie maker for mine but should be able to cook them in an oven as well. I hope you enjoy making these brownies (if you do) They are delicious!!

You can see my other Brownie post from the 5th of August and there are images there.

Beware! It's back.....

So it's that time of year again when I get to hear nothing but football related conversations, even though I hear them alllll year round, it gets worse now since the football season has started again... 

I actually like football and I really don't mind watching it either, as long I know who the teams are and what is going on. I've learnt more about it since Kev plays Fifa constantly and and talks about football... Had no choice really Hahaha!! 

The only thing that is going to annoy me about the football is the chants that never seem to end and because they are sang that much they get annoying (and Kev sings them alot). Also because some of them are catchy and I end up singing them myself. 

Oh, and the fact that I probably won't get replies to text for ages when the football is on now... Girls with boyfriends who are football mad and always on Fifa will be able to relate haha!! Someone help me when Fifa 16 comes out in September!!! D: 

At least Newcastle are playing better this season too! Hopefully they will stay that way and don't go downhill, again. 2-2 against Southampton and none of them were own goals either, unlike Manchester United where there only goal was an own goal... 

(I best leave that there or Kev will shout at me for that hahaha!!) 

Some people who read My blog may not be into football but I thought I would mix it up a bit, I did say I would write about anything hahaha! 

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

When Boredom hits...

Summer holidays drag sooo much!! 

You look forward to them for the whole year and then when they finally arrive you have nothing to do. I think I could of died of boredom about 10 Million times. 

My last AS exam was the 2nd of June and I have been out with a friend once since we broke up from college because they don't seem to invite me out places or even speak to me for that matter. 

Anyway, since most days I have been stuck in the house bored with nothing to do, I decided that I would write a list of Disney films to watch for the rest of the Summer holidays. I tried my best to go in chronological order, starting with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and ending with the most recent Disney film to date. I did't realise how many Disney films there actually is!!! The list goes on foreverr!! 

This is how long my list is!!(I may have missed so films out which I realised earlier. If I have missed any more please tell me!!) 

So because I have such a great social life this is what I decided to do. I actually thought it was a good idea because I haven't seen some Disney films like Dumbo and Pinocchio. (Bad? I know!)

My favourite Disney film of all time is Beauty and The Beast, I love it soooo much!! Belle is my fave princess and when I went to Disney Land Paris with the school me and my old friends ran so far just to try and get a picture with Belle and Snow White before they went into the Princess Pavilion but we failed. So this is what the picture ended up looking like... 

Hoping to go back to Disney verrrry soon though, just because I reallllly want to!!!

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

Brownie Making

Best thing my Mam bought when she was shopping... SHE BOUGHT A BROWNIE MAKER!!!!

This gif fits so perfectly to what I was like because brownies are my absolute fave and now I can make them from home easier!!! But I'm also like this when my Mam comes back from doing the shopping as I will have more food. Hahaha!
If I could, I would literally eat brownies all the time, but I can't because I'll get fat which is sad because I just love brownies. But now I have a brownie maker I will be able to make me brownies more healthier. (Hopefully)

You don't have to have your own brownie  maker to be able to bake them, you can always use the oven, but the maker is so much quicker. If you live near an Aldi, I would go and hunt in there for one that is where this one is from. I will upload another post later with the recipe.

In school I used to be really good at cooking in Food Technology. I made home made pizza, chicken risotto, chocolate éclairs and I can't even cook now.

If you guys have any recipe's for me to try please send them to me because I would really love to be able to cook again without giving anyone food poisoning. (Which I have done by not cooking chips properly... Sorry kev hahaha) 

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

July Favourites

Sorrrry this post is slightly late, but I was busy yesterday so there will be two post's today.
Each month when I write about my favourites of that month, I will mention all my favourite things about that month. I won't just be talking about the products that I have been loving, I will talk about the music, fashion, websites, games, films and just everything that I have loved about the month.
(Mixing it up a bit)

I don't want to write a whole lot about each of these products but I think they are all amazing products and have really good coverage.
The Fix and Perfect primer by Rimmel London, is great for my skin, as I get dry skin quite often and it helps it a lot!! This Primer also goes well with a Matte foundation as it Mattifies your skin as well which also helps for your foundation to last longer.

I find that liquid foundation doesn't stay on for as long as I would like it to, so I decided to try out the Dream Matte Mouse and I find this has really good coverage and stays on practically all day. I got this tub just before the start of July and still have almost a full tub left and use it nearly everyday. It's not really for everyone but I find this foundation better for my skin.

This Eye liner is probably the best eye liner I have come across. It is from the Scandal Eyes Rimmel collection and I think it does it's job brilliantly! It is a waterproof eye liner and stays on all day and doesn't smudge, which is great and even in warm weather and if your sweating it doesn't come off. Although, it doesn't last long when you use it every day.

I got this hairspray to try as it was on special in boots and I couldn't be bothered to go to the other shop in town to get my usual hairspray and I'm glad I didn't. It holds your hair perfectly in place and does what it says on the canister, It lasts a long time and the smell is lovely! Well worth a try.

This lipstick is probably my all time favourite!!! I love this colour so much and really suites me (I think). It is a Rimmel lipstick and last a really long time and in my opinion, it lasts longer than the 8 hour lipsticks. This colour is Heather Shimmer and I love it soooo much, I highly recommend it!! 



Also this month I have been loving Walk The Moon's new song 'Shut up and dance with me' its sooo catchy and such a good song. When I'm getting ready I think this is the first song I play on full volume to get me into that good mood. 
I haven't really got much left to write about this month but I will for August. I really hope you enjoyed this post it't not the best, I know but it will get better. If you want me to put anything else into my monthly favourites please leave me a message, I would love to have suggestions. 
Have a great Day/Evening/Night
