Q&A a day snippet

I have this rather cute little journal which asks you a different question every day and it lasts 5 years so you can see how you as a person have changed from year to yeah. I have only been using this journal since the start of 2015 but I decided I'd share some of the questions and answers with you because sometimes I like to get a bit inspirational. 

Janurary 2nd - Can people change?
Definitely, I have seen myself change so much in the past year both in good ways and bad.

January 25th - What makes 'you' you?
I am determined, happy, kind and motivated. Or at least that's what I like to think!

February 10th - If this day was an animal which animal would it be?
A laid back guinea pig.

March 26th - Who do you aspire to be like?
I don't  aspire to be one specific person I just aspire to be someone who is confident, happy and successful.

April 5th - ________ was inspiring.
My family.

April 24th - Is life fair? Yes? No? Sometimes? Not today?
Life isn't always fair but it's how you handle the unfairness which counts. 

April 27th - What 'type' of person are you?
I like to believe that I am a fun, exciting person who is great to be around but I know that isn't always the case.

May 1st - Messy or Neat?
Metaphorically neat realistically messy

June 2nd - Should you trust your instincts
I think so because if you don't and you get the decision wrong then you'll be kicking yourself for not trusting your instincts.

July 22nd - Where do you go for good ideas?
Your imagination, let it run wild.

August 10th - What are you running from at this moment?
Nothing, you shouldn't have to run, you should be able to face anything.

September 18th - A decision you made today? 
To be confident, don't doubt yourself and just say it.

September 23rd - Write down a quote for today
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird. Like electricity, electricity sparks inside of me - Billy Elliott

September 30th - How do you get out of a rut?

Be positive and go out there and take every opportunity, can't find any opportunities? Make them.

I hope this post inspires you to stay positive, see you next time!

Throwing a Party

Yesterday was my 15th birthday and I had a few friends over for a sleepover so I really wanted to do a post where I talk about some of my favourite bits about parties. This post is gonna be a bit of a diary post, a bit of a chatty post and a bit of a 'how to host a party' post so its kind of a bit random.

One of the things which I think is vital to a party is sitting down and watching a good film, so we watched Pitch Perfect 2 whilst munching on popcorn. 

Having a party is an absolutely perfect excuse to order in foods and pig out on loads of sweets and chocolate, so we ordered in dominoes and bought plenty of sweets and chocolate.

What I love about parties is that you have all of your favourite people gathered together so what makes it even more fun is when you have fun and play silly games. We had a just dance battle but of course we chose all the random bizarre songs like what does the fox say and that weird russian song. We also played a few rounds of heads up which caused a lot of laughs you can see some pictures above.

What's your favourite thing to do at a party? 

Top 5 tips for a Pamper Night!

 At the end of a weekend on a Sunday night all you want to do is pamper yourself and savor the last few moments before you have to go to school. Which is why I've put together my favourite tips for having the perfect pamper night.

1. Face Masks

I absolutely love using face masks, they make me feel so fancy and leave my skin feeling really good. I really like the Montagne Jennesse masks because they are only a pound and I can usually get 2-4 uses out of them!

2. Sweet Treats

In my opinion you're not treating yourself if you're not scoffing cookies and chocolate!

3. Netflix or Movies

I am a definitely the sort of person who is really into films and tv series, my favourite series on Netflix are currently Gossip Girl and Once Upon a Time. I actually have a whole post on my Netflix favourites which you can see here.

4. Relaxing bath

Add a lush product or some bubble bath and relax. What I love about relaxing baths is that they give you plenty of time just to chill and think and plan.

5. Hair Styling

This may sound really random or like a sleepover when you were 10 and you'd say 'let's play hair styling!!' Ok, I'm going off on a tangent here, but what I actually mean is I often enjoy spending some time straightening or curly my hair.  

Au revoir!

 

Autumn Fashion Trends

One of the things I love about autumn is the fashion, I love the autumnal colours and the fact that you can wrap up warm in lots of layers. Today's post I'm going to talk about some autumn fashion trends that I love

Checkered Shirts - I absolutely love checkered shirts and I own a fair few myself. I love that you can wear them in so many ways, unbuttoned over a top, underneath a wooly jumper, by itself or even tied round your waist. I think checkered shirts are so simple yet they look great, they are definitely one of my autumn wardrobe staple.

Black Jeans - I think I am about the only person who doesn't own a pair of topshop black jeans, they are rather expensive but the quality and fit is like no other. Black jeans look good with anything so they are perfect, they are number one of my shopping list.

Sleeveless Duster Coats - I've never seen these coats before but I really like them, I think they look great with high neck long sleeved t-shirts and high waisted jeans. Duster coats are very versaitile because they can be dressed up or dressed down.

Turtle Neck Jumpers - The jumper in the picture above looks so comfy and so simple, I love the neck and the shape of the jumper. It's is perfect for autumn because it keeps you warm but you can still look really good.

Tartan Scarves - What I love about tartan scarves is that they can jazz up any outfit, they're practical, stylish and perfect for autumn. This is another thing which is right at the top of my shopping list.

What are your favourite trends for Autumn?

Songs of the Summer

Considering the torrential rain and thunder we've had over the past few days where I live, I think you would agree that summer is officially over (sob sob). So today's post I'm going to talk about my favourite songs of the summer.

OMI - Cheerleader

 This song is one of the biggest songs of the summer, everybody knows it! I admit that it was very overplayed but I love this song because it has such a relaxing chilled vibe and the trumpet solos are so good!

Fetty Wap - Trap Queen

This song was kinda my summer music guilty pleasure, I mean if you think about it the song isn't that great but its just so catchy! I don't know what was so catchy about it but every time it came on I just wanted to dance! I certainly wasn't the only one as this song got so popular.

LunchMoney Lewis - Bills

I started dancing just thinking about this song! This song is brilliant, its so catchy which means its perfect for creating funny video stars. What is also brilliant about this song is that young or old, male or female everybody can love it!

 

5SOS - She's kinda hot

I'm so surprised that this song didn't become more brilliant, i think it's a really clever song and I love the whole concept and the vocals are fantastic.

 

Pharrell - Freedom

Like every song Pharrell has ever released this song is brilliant and uplifting, it has such a good message and I really love the collection of voices used in this song. I also think the intro in this song is so unique and catchy, if you haven't heard of this song you should definitely check it out.

Avicii - Waiting for love

Waiting for love is a great song to go running or power walking to, it has a great uplifting tempo and the instrumentals are insanely good. It's also a great 'sing-a-long song' that you can easily join in with after only hearing it once.

Kygo - Stole the show

I'd never even heard of Kygo before but this song is just perfect! The singing, the tune, the lyrics, the video, I absolutely love everything about this song. I would 100% encourage you to check out this song.

John Newman - Come and get it

I think John Newmans voice is amazing and in this song you can certainly hear this. I think this song also has such a good tune, which you can definitely hear in the whistled sections of this song.

Little Mix - Black Magic

It's kind of obvious that this song was going to feature, i mean it was number one in the UK for so long! I'm not the biggest little mix fan but I really do love this song, personally I much prefer the acoustic version of this song.

I hope the weather isn't too awful, as it gets into autumn but at least the fashion this time of year is amazing!

My Lush Wishlist

Lush, lush, lush, just like practically every teenage girl I love lush and could easily spend all day in there. So I decided I would create a Wishlist of the lush products that I plan to get my hands on next. There are 10 items on my list to buy at lush and here they are.

Herbalism - After trying the Angels on bare skin cleanser I've wanted to try another of lush's fresh cleanser and this one looks amazing! It is a fantastic vibrant green and it includes some amazing ingredients like nettles, rosemary and chamomile.

The Comforter Shower Gel - The comforter is one of my favourite Lush products ever so it makes sense that I want to try the Shower Gel version. I smelt it in store and it smells delicious, it is blackcurrant which is perfect for winter.

Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds - This bubble bar looks amazing and the fact that it is a bubble bar means it will give you a very bubbly bath which is exactly how I like it! 

You've been Mangoed - I've had my eye on this bath melt for ages, it smells of mangoes which is soo good. It's mix of cocoa, avocado and mango butters sound so moisturizing, the products seems just heavenly.

The Experimenter - I love bath bombs that make for an exciting bath, I love the bath bombs that are full of glitter and bright, exciting colours.

Karma - Like the Experimenter this bubble bar also looks very exciting, it will definitely leave your bath a fun colour! It also includes lavender, orange oil, lemongrass oil and pine oil, so this bubble bar must smell so fresh and natural.

Black Stockings - Over the summer I manage to get a slight tan and I want to maintain it by using this gorgeous tinted massage bar. This solid body tint is said to give your body a natural golden glow.

Marilyn - Marilyn is a pre-wash treatment to keep hair shiny, bright and conditioned. I really want to try this product because it includes lemon, chamomile and saffron infusers which are not only fantastic brighteners but they also smell great and are really moisturizing.

Cupcake - Recently I have really enjoyed using face masks, but I've only ever used the cheap ones you get in packets. Therefore I would love to try one of Lush's fresh face masks and the cupcake mask is chocolate flavoured and you can't go wrong with chocolate.

So there it is, the 10 things on my Lush wishlist. What Lush products do you want to get your hands on? Or what are your favourite Lush products that you have tried?
