Sorrrrryyy

Sorry I haven't posted in a while... I have been feeling quite ill over the past two weeks and I'm getting so much college work to do and hand in now I have to priorities with that at the moment so I will get posts up as and when I can. 

Some of you will know (if you follow me on twitter *hint hint*) that I have had a stressful and bad week last week with a large amount of college work and then on Wednesday night my rabbit Tink passed away. She was more like a dog than a rabbit but we were all really upset and shocked but she wasn't herself and she is out of pain now. 

Then Friday night we had the dreadful news of the attacks in France that literally saddened the world and thinking about everyone at that awful time!! Also, about the other events which happened on the Friday night, thinking and praying for everyone effected by these events. 

(This is my own image took in 2013 from my trip to Paris with my school. Quite proud of this too!!)

But hopefully I will attempt to get two posts up a week, trying my very best!! Thank you all for your support and for you all for reading my blog too!! Appreciate it so much!!

I am soooo sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have just been so busy, ill and just not in the right frame of mind to write a good enough post for you all that you will enjoy. But now I am feeling much better and there will be more pots coming your way too!! I may have to do a time table of when I have enough time in the day to be able to write and upload a post so that I can fit everything into the day and not to leave you all without a post for ages!! 

College has just been getting a lot busier and I have started my placement in a primary school now every Thursday and Friday and I am loving it!! But there will still be posts. I am hopefully going to be doing a lot more things as I tend to find myself doing a lot more in the run up to Christmas as it is almost a month away in just a few weeks... EXCITED!!! 

I hope all of you have been okay and thank you to you all for your support on twitter of over the last week and a bit, your comments have been so helpful, Blogging community is the best by far!! So glad I started Blogging and met all of you wonderful people and your blogs. Well done to everyone and expect more posts soon!!

 Have a great weekend!!

Autumn Days

Days are getting shorter, Nights are getting darker. You know what that means don't you? Autumn is here... then WINTER!!! I am so excited for both of these seasons, they are my favourite time of the year! Well Winter is my overall fave but then Autumn is the run up to winter which Makes you even more excited!! 

As it is Autumn very very soon, I am obviously going to write an Autumn post!! Also suggested by Jasmine at Blogsallbeautyy (Go check her out, her blog is Great!)

First of all, I know most of us girls have different make up choices to chose from for different seasons. So why don't I show you the products I have started using for this season. 

This Eye shadow pallet, that was also featured in the August Haul, has different shades which can be used for every season which is why I love it so much and been wearing it almost everyday!! As you can see by the delves in the segments, I have used 4 shades more than the others. The 2 shades at the beginning of the pallet to the left are the shades I was wearing all the way through August and I loved them! The other two darker shades towards the right end of the pallet are what I have been starting to use with a little lighter colour to the inner of my eye. These colours are great for Autumn and Winter.  

The next product I have started using is a liquid foundation by L'Oreal instead of the Dream Matte Mouse by Maybelline as I find that in the summer months, liquid foundation doesn't really work for me but the Dream Matte Mouse did so I used that for the summer and now I am going to start using this for Autumn/Winter months. This is the True match foundation by L'Oreal in Beige and I have used it for about 2 weeks and I really like it. It took me a while to get used to but it complements my skin really well in my opinion. (and my Mam thinks so too hahaha) 

And of course you can't have your foundation without the matching concealer too!! I really like this concealer works really well too. 

I haven't got a very good image of how I have been wearing my hair a lot more but I know I have posted this image on Twitter so some of you may have seen it. I got this look from Zoe (Zoella) from her YouTube tutorial and I really liked it and it looks cute and Autumn and Winter are cute seasons so it reminded me of that hahaha!! It can't be just me... Also this outfit can fit into the autumn season too and this wasn't even planned that way. 

Of course no Autumn days are complete without candles burning all around your house to make it extra cosy and warm when the weather outside isn't all that good. These are currently the candles I have out. I do have another candle but it wouldn't fit in the photo. Every single candle I have in my room is a Christmas candle apart from the purple candle called Black Plum Blossom from Yankee Candle, which is like a spring scent. 

And to finish it all off, My favourite, Fudge Hot Chocolate with Mini Marshmallows and Squirty Cream, Can't go wrong really can you?

So there it is, most of the things I will be using/Wearing this Autumn and winter, I love all of these!! If you have any Autumn related posts, send me your blog links I would love to read them!!

Do what YOU want to do!

When I first started college I really didn't know what to expect. I was really nervous and I didn't really have anyone the whole of my first year at college apart from Kev, because I had fallen out with all my "Friends". 

I know that some of you may be in a similar situation because I have spoken to some of you on Twitter. When I was in year 11 I chose the college I wanted to go to because at that point, all of my Friends were going there too and I didn't want to be alone, also they were doing the subjects which I wanted to take at the time. 

After completing my first year at college, hardly having no one to talk to, being on my own and constantly not wanting to be in college at all as it didn't make me happy, I realised that this was not what I wanted to do at all. The college I went to was a sixth form and it was more like school than a college. It wasn't enjoyable and all the teachers kept talking about was exams and university every single lesson and it made me even more anxious and made me panic. A lot!! 

I then thought to myself, after completing my last exam and leaving college for the summer, that I did not want to go back there and I shouldn't of been a sheep and followed the crowd from the start. But I had to learn that for myself as I didn't know what to expect from my first year.

You have got to chose the Subjects or Course that you want to do and not what everyone else chooses. If you feel like you are alone and don't feel welcome or comfortable in your college then the best advice I can give you is to switch colleges and find a college more to your liking. (This is what I did) If you have fallen out with all of your friends or you can't stand the people in your year group, which is sometimes the case, then going to a completely different college to everyone else would be the better option. 

It can be daunting starting a college all on your own and not knowing anybody but you soon make new friends who are much friendlier than your old friends and most of the time, different colleges offer a wider variety of courses to chose from.

I was in this exact position and now I am in a totally different college on a Childcare course, I am much happier and feel as though my anxiety levels have crept down slightly. I do have to get up really early to get the train but it is worth it as the college is so much better with so many lovely people too!! 

If any of you need advice or anyone to talk to about situations like this, please send me a message on twitter or a comment below I would love to be able to help you because it's though making a decision on your own. 

I hope this post is helpful, I felt as though I needed to write this post to try and give a little advice or guidance.

Have a great Day/Evening/ Night

P.S- Don't be the sheep that follows the crowd, be the sheep that goes on it's own adventure.

It's been a while

Hey guys, sorry its been a while I have either been very busy with college or other things, or very tired because of college. Starting a new college and getting into a routine again is tiring!! But hopefully I will be more organised soon!!

Iv'e been meaning to post a while now and I did have a post all written and ready to upload yesterday but for some reason it disappeared or deleted so I am halfway through writing it... again!! I really hope you understand, hopefully once I am back into a routine I will be able to figure out when I can upload posts so they can all be regular days. I will try my hardest to write posts and upload them when I can but I am not going anywhere!!

Thank you all for reading my blog still it means so much!! I didn't even think anyone would be interested in reading my blog, I hope you are all enjoying it!! It has even had a make-over too... 

(If anyone knows how to work blogger more than me and how to set out more 'attractable' layout designs, please message me on twitter, I would be so grateful.)

Also, if you would like to see my write about certain posts please, give me some suggestions I would love to hear from you all!! 

(This Gif was cute)

Thank you so much again for reading my blog and being patient with me with writing posts, I promise I will become more organised soon. Hope you are all having a great weekend so far and be careful and safe if you are out and about!!

(P.S. Another new post later once it is finished, for the second time)

Adventurous walk.

Last week after I had finished college, Kev met me at the train station so we could go to the shop before going back to his. 

On the way back from the shop we walked through the back fields, which would of been okay if I was wearing the right type of shoes for it but I wasn't. I was wearing the complete opposite and was wearing my small healed ankle boots and my feet were killing me!!

Once we got to the top of the hill the view was great!! This picture doesn't do it much justice...I need a proper camera.

We also made friends with this gorgeous horse, who seemed to like Kev more than me. It was a friendly horse, otherwise we wouldn't of been able to go near it and the owners wouldn't have put it out on the field either. We noticed that the horse couldn't even reach the bucket of water their owner had left out for it, It's a good job it wasn't a hot day or it would of been so dehydrated!! 

We both love animals so we decided to help it. I'm a weakling so I could't push the bucket of water and Kev only just managed to be able to push the water closer. It was surprisingly heavier than I thought.

We walked even further along the field and saw more horse's but they were fenced off into another field and other the other side. So me being me I decided to Neigh really loud at them so they would come over hahaha!! Kev's words were "What's that going to do?" and at that point the horse's came over!!

This horse had really weird but amazing eyes!! As I went to take a picture it did try to bite me (I think) but then realised she was the mother of the cute foal in the top picture so I didn't bother her in case she felt threatened. But this picture I got of her was quite funny hahaha!!

When I looked back at the horse's they just looked soooo cute!! The foal with it's mother and the other two horse's cuddling each other!! It's just so cute, so of course I had to take another picture.

I Love animals so much!! I wish sometimes I lived on a farm so I can have different types of animals like little sheep and pigs too!

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

August Haul

Sorry it is a bit late but just been settling into a new college and it has just been a busy week. 

Instead of just showing you all what I have been loving each month, I am going to show you all what I have bought in the past month and whether I like or Dislike them. 

Stationary:

I have already done one year in college, but because I really didn't like my old college and had a bad year there, I moved to a much better college so I wanted new everything to aim at having a better college experience. 

So I had to get new stationary (of course). I go to Wilkinson's for all of my stationary because it is reasonably priced and do good quality things. Like these pens, sticky notes and sharpener in the photo. All of this probably came to around £3. 

(Papermate are really good pens to write with)

I also got this new pencil case from Wilkinson's too because I loved the design of it and loved the little pom-poms on the end of the zip. I literally am like a big kid but it's cute. Also it isn't too big or too small and the right size to fit into your bag.

Fashion/Beauty:

I have only just started to try out eye shadows as I didn't know how to apply it properly or have the right type of brushes for it, but since I have been watching tutorials of how to apply it properly, I wanted to buy some nice eye shadows to try out that weren't too expensive.

I found this pallet in T J Hughes by Technic for £1.99 and I find that these work amazing!! I'm a fan of finding good make-up that is also cheap! Don't always have to go for the expensive ranges.

The next place I went to was Primark where I was on the hunt for a new bag for college because my zip broke on my other one (which I still love). I Did look in other places before I looked in Primark because the bags I previously had got from there for school either broke on the first day or when it rained, got soaked right through. 

But then I saw this bag and it was the type of bag I was looking for and a decent size bag too. After using the bag for a week now, it is a really good bag and does it purpose well!! Also I really love the design and the colours too. I also picked up this scarf too because it is starting to come in colder now and I really love the colour of it.

I find that my hair gets really knotty really easily, and most of the time, just putting a brush through it doesn't make it any better. So when I went into Home Bargains I found this 'Easy Tease' de-tangler and I find it works really well. 

I also bought some Argan oil spray which protects your hair from the heat of your hair dryer or straighteners. Spray it on while it is wet and blow dry it and it makes your hair feel so much healthier!! 

The last thing was this hair piece from Primark for when you have a bun in you hair you can place it around your bun to give it some decoration. I Have used it once and I do like it but I think the flowers could have been a little smaller.  

Other items:

If you have twitter and see my tweets, you will know that I bought these two books together and the first one I have read is 'Paper Towns'. I read this one first because the film was due out the week that I bought the book and I like to read the books first. 

All the way through the book I was so intrigued and I loved the story and I was really looking forward to the end of the book to see what happened to Margo, I'm not going to give anything away in case any of you haven't seen the film or read the book yet, but I was a little disappointed with the ending, I thought it was going to be a whole lot different and better. But the whole of the book is great I just really didn't like the ending it could of been better, but hey! that's just my opinion, let me know what you guys think!! 

(I haven't seen the film yet)

I have only just started reading 'Girl Online' and so far I am really enjoying it!! I will let you know what I thought of it in next months post maybe...

Over the holidays I have been really bored with nothing to do and because I do get stressed a lot, I wanted to try out one of these Stress relief adult colouring books, and iv'e got to say they really do relieve all of your stress!! I am even ordering a different book with different designs in later on, or maybe add it to my Christmas list... Yes, I Have already started that too. Here is one of the colouring pages I have done so far. (not finished yet)

And finally, because my college isn't just a 5 minute walk around the corner any more and it is more like a 20 minute train journey,(which means really early mornings) I thought it would be a good idea to buy a Power Pack to be able to charge my phone up if it is running low at college instead of trying to find a free plug socket. I have only used it twice and it does work well, but I am going to test it out more to see how far It will actually charge my phone to before running out.

(I bought this from Mankind just in case you were wanting to find one, this was £7.99, a good buy)

So there you have it, these are the things that I bought last month and what I think of them so far. I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe gave you some ideas of what to buy on your next shopping trip into town!!

Have a great Day/Evening/Night
