The Fashion Tag

Hello!

Today im doing another tag, which is the fashion tag. These questions may not be the original questions, but I liked them so that's what we're doing!! Ok, lets go!

1) Top 3 favourite clothes shops: Primark, New Look, Top Shop

2) Shop you don't usually buy from: Urban Outfitters

3) Last accessory you bought: Silver arrow earrings from H&M

4) Do you own something you've never worn? What?: Butterfly Necklace from New Look

5) Do you think a lot about what you wear or do you just like being comfortable?: I like being comfy, so I usually wear a T-shirt and a hoody, but I still think about what im wearing. I wear a lot of black, white and dark colours, or at least try to. So I guess both.

6) My wardrobes mainly full of: T-shirts.

7) Most comfortable item of clothing: My red hoody

8) What hat would you never wear?: A beret (they don't suit me at all)

9) What's your style?: I'm not girly. I don't really like pink that much. I wear dark colours most, and tend to stick to skinny jeans and T-Shirts. I don't really know what my "style" is.

10) Favourite T-Shirt:  It looks better on than just on my bed. The patterns like a faded picture of dandelions with a dark background. I really like it.

11) Favourite dress: I cant show you this because im going on holiday in 5 days (!) and its been packed. But in case you want a description, it is red and has black roses all over it.

12) Favourite jacket: A khaki coloured jacket, which has a bronze coloured zip and a colourful panel at the back. This was from















13) Favourite shoes: My Doc Martin style shoes from New Look.  You've all seen them already. Iv talked about them a lot too!

14) Favourite earrings: my silver arrows which I talked about above.

I hope you enjoyed. I'm quickly going to mention, im going on holiday on Monday, so there MIGHT not be as many uploads as usual, but I will try. I'm going to do a proper explanation on Saturday, but I thought I would tell you quickly now.

As usual, please comment what you thought below. If you have any suggestions please say. And don't forget to subscribe! Bye! xx

Let's talk about: My teeth

Hello!

This week I have finally, after 3 years of waiting , been told that I'm going to get braces soon. My teeth are not great. My teeth themselves aren't bad but its just how they look. I hate them. They are jumbled up, in the wrong order, in the wrong place and I hate it. But it's getting better. So, today I am going to talk about my teeth and yeah!

Growing up, I had ok teeth. generally in the right place but when I was about 7 and I started loosing more teeth, it took them quite a while to grow back. I had two big gaps on the top of my mouth (where teeth had fallen out) and one tooth in the middle at one point. It wasn't a great look.

Because they took so long to grow back, my remaining teeth started to move around. That's where the problem started. Because they had more room to move, by the time my teeth grew back, there was already a tooth half in that space, so it went on a weird diagonal angle so it could fit in.

Now, my teeth don't look awful, but I still don't like them. It's always took a little bit of my confidence away, especially year 6 and over (age 10). I didn't not want to smile, but I've learnt to smile with my mouth closed, so people wouldn't see my teeth as much.

But now iv accepted it. It doesn't change me. Im still me, I just don't have lovely straight teeth like most people YET. I will one day but todays not that day. tTat's the whole point of this post.

YOUR APPEARANCE IS JUST A PART OF YOU. It doesn't make you, your a personality underneath, that's just the first thing someone see's. But on the inside and out, no matter what you look like, your still a great person, even if you don't think it.

I hope you like this post guys. there will be another part when I get my braces, so look forward to it!

Thanks guys! Please comment below any ideas for other blog posts (it doesn't have to be beauty). Thanks again! Bye xx

Beauty Haul

Hello!!

Today I went to town and I bought a couple of things. I went with my friends who also have blogs so I'll leave the link to their blogs below. Let's go!

We went to LUSH first and I bought the Melting Marshmallow Moment bath melt (try saying that quickly!!). This smells a lot like the Candy Mountain bubble bar that you can buy at Christmas. If anyone doesn't know, a bath melt is like a bath bomb but it doesn't fizz, it just melts (obviously!) into your bath and leaves you skin SUPER soft!! This was £3.95. I can't wait to use this!
















Next we went to Boots. I wasn't planning on getting anything, but all of my friends were buying lip balms and at the moment I love ANYTHING Watermelon. I'd heard about the Nivea Fruity Shine lip balm in watermelon on YouTube, and I'd heard it was really good. So I had to buy it! It looks a Dark Sparkly pink but on your lips it is a very sheer pink.It smells amazing and it was £1.79, which I think is good. 













Then we went to Superdrug. Again, I wasn't planning on getting anything. But I saw the NYC Cream Stick blush, and my friend told me it was really good. It was £2.99 and I got the shade Soho Pink, which (as you will see) is more of a dark, natural pink. I didn't want anything to obvious as I don't wear blush often. I'll tell you what I think of it on another blog. 









Finally, we went to a shop called Savers. I don't know if this is a chain or not, but hopefully it is! It is a shop were (obviously) you save money on products which you can get in your normal shop. I found these Little Mix nail wraps (which I wanted to buy about a year ago and couldn't find them again!) for 79p! I think they are usually £4!!! BARGAIN ALERT!!! The design is really cool; quite cartoon-y. Again I'll tell you what I think of them on another blog. 
 
 












I did buy some things for Mothers day but I've decided not to show them in case my mum see's!

If you want any reviews of one of these products please comment below which one, and I'll do it in the future. Also, I've been noticing that a few Americans have been reading, so if that's you, please say hello! I would love to know that your there!

I hope you have a great mothers day and thank you for reading. xx

Change of plan

Hello!

Iv just decided that I don't want to just do reviews on the weekend. Now I know that this is all quite sudden and iv seemed happy with it before, AND iv only been doing it for a couple of weeks, but im just not happy with it.

When I set out to do this, I didn't want to be the typical beauty blogger, I wanted to do beauty, but also funny blogs, fashion blogs and everything else! I didn't and don't want to just stick to writing in one category.

I hope this is ok with everyone. Please comment what you think below!!! xx

I regret it!!

Hello!!

I wanted to do a post on things that you and I may regret buying or doing. Im sure all of us regret doing something. I certainly do. And trust me, there are one or two moments that I will never get out of my mind. OH, the regrets are so real!

First of all, shopping! Most of us love it. But love it or hate it there will be something that you've bought thinking

"YEAH!! That'll look great!!"

And then when you get home, you realise that maybe that purple and green tartan jumper doesn't look as nice on you as you thought... So the lesson learnt here is not to buy things straight away without thinking properly. Why didn't I learn that sooner? :(

Secondly, the embarrassing moment when you do something that you think will be funny, and then mid way rubbish joke, you say to yourself

"What am I doing? Why am I saying this. Im not even laughing. WHATS GOING ON?!?"

But you've committed to your non funny story by then, so you have to just roll with it...

I remember one time I was shopping with my friends and we saw this boy we knew with his dad. So randomly I shouted "Hey ______." I didn't even know him. now that I think about it, im not even sure I said his right name!

Finally, Boys. Me personally, iv been out with people who I regret going out with. (if you know me please do not point out who they are) But at the time, you think its a good idea, and there is nothing wrong with that! Yes, it was a stupid idea, but you will learn from it. I certainly did!

Another thing when it comes to boys is that now the moments that I thought were a bit cringy, were actually quite cute. The first time I held hands with a boy, I was so nervous, and it sounds stupid but I had no idea what I was doing with my hand. But it was cute. And now I wouldn't have changed it for the world.

So basically, the lesson here is to think about what your going to do before you do it, if it has to chance to backfire, but not to regret everything, because you will learn from it.

I hope you enjoyed reading. Comment below what you thought of this style of blog xx

Review on 5 seconds of summer (album)

Hello!
 
As a Big lover of the Australian band 5SOS (5 seconds of summer), I had to listen to their album. Although, this isn't their newest album (LiveSOS is the newest), I felt that this is my favourite album at the moment, and I had to do a review on it!!
 
First of all, the cover is amazing! I love the X going across them, and the colours are really cool.  I love the cartoons in the background. I think it shows that they aren't completely serious, they still like to mess around. And they don't look too bad in it either do they ;).
(don't lie, there has to be one of them that you like the look of)
 
 
Now onto the music! They are, as they call it, pop-rock, meaning not heavy metal (almost shouting and there is not really a tune) but pop with more guitar and drums. I love it! But some people don't. Baring in mind, I listen to Paramore, and bands like Blink-182 and Good Charlotte, who are punk-rock (they were around in 2005 or near then).
 
The music involves a lot of guitar and drums, but it isn't overwhelming. They have the slow meaningful songs (amnesia and beside you), they have the more pop songs (don't stop and she looks so perfect) and they the more rocky songs (social casualty and end up here). If you don't like loud music this album isn't really for you.
 
Even if you don't like their style of music, I really do recommend giving "beside you" a try. Its about them leaving Australia at the age of 17,18 and 19 and moving to the other side of the world to tour with one direction and do their own shows. It is slow and just beautiful.
 
My favourite song on the album is "Voodoo Doll". It's quite fast and there is a lot of guitar. It is about a girl that they really don't want to fall in love with, but they cant help it- she is basically controlling them. I LOVE it!!
 
I would give this album 5/5, because it is the style of music I like, but if you aren't into this style, then I would give it a miss. Like I say though, check out "Beside you". You will almost certainly like it!!
 
thanks for reading xx
