Chester Rocks

So the other day, Me and some of my friends went to see the second day of Chester Rocks. I won't post much information because you should definitely check out our Vlog, which will be linked just below. So I thought that I would share some of the pictures I took, but if you click on the link just below, it will take you to the Vlog we filmed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tetpN3R--Y . This was the first concert that I went to with a group of friends. We had such a good time and we were in full festival spirit with UV paint on our face. (Picture at the bottom).
So we got a nice spot to chill, that was quite close to the stage



So the headline act was JessieJ ! and she was amazing live. 
So the other headline act was Lawson! They were also amazing live! 
Then from XFactor the other year was Amelia Lily.
The first act was Scarlett's Roses. They're a new and upcoming band from London, if you haven't heard they're music, then definitely check it out sometime.


Me, Megan, Ellie & Becca. With UV paint across our face.
Megan, Ellie, Becca and Me. Loved our UV paint.

Summery Outfit Of The Day

So after being to Portugal, I think I brought the lovely hot and sunny weather back with me to Britain. This week has been lovely, so today as it is the weekend, I decided to go out.
I think this is my first Fashion post unless you count the hauls I have done, so here is my outfit of the day. I'm not the girliest of girls, but this is a lovely cute summery look.
 Sorry about the quality of that picture.. it isn't very good. Also, my t-shirt is a bit weird but yeah.


I have my slightly over sized denim jacket which I have only just got but I love it already. It's made by MOTO. It does have long sleeves, but I have rolled them up to three quarter because it's quite hot usually, and I think that having three quarter sleeves suits me a lot better.
If you don't have a denim jacket, then I would suggest you get one because they are great for summer, light and go with so many different things.


Then I have my Star Wars Coffee T-Shirt, which I wear a lot. This is also over sized because I like to have a few baggy tops because I find them so comfortable. The sleeves are normal but are quite long on me, so I rolled them up a bit. The caption is 'May The Froth Be With You' .. (haha). I got this to go on holiday because it's light and it's the kind of top where you can just chuck it on and it goes with everything. I purchased it from Ebay, but you can also get it on Amazon. I love these types of t-shirts and I got it in white as I don't have many white tops. 



Lastly I have on my Authentic Soft Denim, High Waisted Shorts from New Look. I got these last summer, but they do have a new version of them out this season. I love wearing them because they fit me really nice and they are super soft, so I also have the khaki green ones. I mainly wear them to tuck t-shirt into them, but I just think they are really cute and very summery.





I do also have white frilly socks on from Topshop because they go lovely with this outfit.
Let me know what you thought about this blog, and if you would like to see any more outfit of the days.

Also, I have just uploaded a new video on to my YouTube channel, so go ahead and check it out.

Escaping for a bit.. to Portugal

Just a short blog today, a small update I guess. Sorry that I haven't posted in a while but I have good reasons, I came back from Portugal yesterday.
Personally I love going to Portugal, must of been there at least 10 times now, and each time I go, I fall in love with the country even more. We (MyFamily) always go to the Algarve, either to Vilamoura or Albufeira.
This time we visited Vilamoura, so I thought I would share some pictures with you all.
I love going on holiday, not just to get a tan, but to have a nice relaxing time. Whether we go to a waterpark or just lay by the pool it's just lush. There is something about the beach and the sea that is so lovely that we went there at some point of nearly everyday.
Take a look at some of the pictures I took. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed living them.
Sitting on the rocks looking at the sea is amazing

walking on the sea's edge

just thought this was a good shot

the view I got to wake up to every morning

i just love the sea

The Rainbow Beauty Tag


Sorry that I haven't posted in a while, but I have been so busy lately! So today's post is a new beauty tag called #TheRainbowTag. Where you use colours from the rainbow and say your favourite beauty product of that colour. Now as I was choosing products, I realized I don't have anything that is Indigo, so I replaced Indigo with purple.


So the first colour is RED. I chose my BaByliss Curling Wand. This is really easy to use and it's quite cheap. I like it because you can use it to do loose curls, or tight. Also, you can change the temperature of the wand. The only bad thing is that it doesn't have a clamp, so you do have to hold your hair.



 Next is YELLOW, I picked my L'OREAL paris, ELVIVE- Repairing Shampoo. I purchased this about a month ago, and I've used it every time I washed my hair since. It's amazing and smells gorgeous. It leaves your hair feeling soft and I like it because it doesn't leave your hair knotty.

 So for PINK, I couldn't choose between these two Lush products. But as I love them both, I have added them both. They are the Lush Bubblegum flavoured Lip Scrub, and The Melting Marshmallow Moment bath bomb. Now they smell amazing, the nicest things I've ever smelt! So basically you rub the lip scrub on your lips and it leaves them really soft and then my favourite bit, you can lick the rest of your lips because it's sugar. The bath bomb smells exactly the same, and it just looks like a big marshmallow, and it turns the bath pink. If you haven't tried them, then you should.


For GREEN, I picked the BarryM Nail Paint in shade 304- Mint Green. I adore this colour because it's great for summer. You do have to put a few coats of it on to get the full colour, but it's lovely and looks so nice when you have a tan!


So for ORANGE, I picked my Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara in Black. This mascara is really good because the brush is so big. It gives my eyes good definition and it lasts for ages. I have re-purchased this 3 times now.

 For PURPLE, I have two products because I couldn't chose. So I picked TRESemme Superior Hold Hairspray. This is a great hairspray and doesn't leave my hair crispy. But the best thing about it is the smell, it's the nicest smelling hairspray ever, it's just gorgeous.

I also got stuck picking for BLUE, so I have two of these as well. I have one of  Topshop's Nail Varnish's in the shade 'AirKisses.' I wrote about this in my Topshop haul which you should check out because I gave a review about it. The colour is so bright and looks great. And I wore it for a whole week without it chipping! The scond BLUE product is the Jack Wills, Ladies Luxury Body Wash in English Velvet. This smells so nice, and it's nearly all gone now:( It isn't too dear and it's just lovely.

The last product is the RAINBOW coloured product. I have chosen one of  The Body Shop's body washes. I got the Love Etc. one and it smells delightful, girly and floral but now over powering. I put it in the Rainbow colour because it has loads of upside hearts in different colours all over it. I only got the tester size which is small and only 60ml, but I take it with me when I go travelling and it's great, I would definitely go and get a bigger one.


So that is my Rainbow Beauty Tag complete. I hope you enjoyed reading about some of my favourite products. If you have done this tag comment below, or just leave your opinion below. Thanks

Primark Holiday Haul! Part 1 For Portugal

So if you haven't guessed yet, this is my Primark Holiday Haul. So this is what I have bought over my last 2 trips to Primark for my holiday in a couple of weeks time. By all means, i'm NOT trying to brag, I just thought i'd let you know what I have bought because Primark isn't available online, so by people like myself showing you some clothes and accessories, you might spot something you like, also Primark is fairly cheap it's not like i'm doing a haul about loads of stuff from *insert dear high end clothes hop*, haha. Enjoy.
So I was a little naughty.
If you haven't figured out yet, I have a slight obsession with aztec print. So the first thing I purchased was this nude and black coloured aztec print bikini. It's from the Ocean Club section in Primark, which is basically all the holiday stuff. It was only £4 and I think it's just cute.
 Next thing I bought are these red and white wedged flip-flops. I really wanted the navy blue and white ones but the past three times I've been there, they haven't had my size so I just got the red ones. I just quite fancied ones with a bit of a wedge and they were only £3. Also, they're really comfy.
This dress, is probably one of my favourite summer buys. As some of you may know, I'm not usually a dress person but I really liked it. I have seen quite a few people with these dresses on and they just look so nice. Its a stretchy bodycon dress that goes just past the knees, it's tight but stretchy and it shows your figure nicely. I got in a nude and blue/grey aztec print. I think on holiday, I could wear it in the day time or dress it up at night. This type of dress is available in loads of shops but the main reason I bought it off Primark, is that I liked the pattern and it was only £10, which is really good because the quality is good for that price.

I then and purchased two loose fitting crop tops. Mainly because they are nice to just throw over a bikini on holiday, but also, in the summer I like to wear them with high waisted shorts. I got a plain khaki army coloured one that was only £3. Then I picked up a Disney Mickey Mouse one, which has a grey background with Mickey & Minnie mouse all over it, that was £6 but it is really cute and I can't wait to wear it.

I got these shorts. I got them in grey and burgundy. They were £3 each and are really good value. I would just wear them in the day time on holiday and sometimes I just wear shorts like this around the house because they are really comfy. If you haven't got a pair of these then seriously you should try them.

I also just picked up some footless sock things. I'm not too sure what you call them, but I like to wear them with vans because it still looks like your not wearing socks, but it saves you getting blisters. I got 2 pairs for £1.30.



The second to last thing I picked up, was these sunglasses. Last year, I bought these but in brown and I constantly wore them, so when I saw them back in stock then I went and got another pair. They are great because they block the sun (obviously) and you can still see through them easily. They are only £2, which is a great bargain.

So the last thing I purchased was the white/beige and black aztec print bag. Obviously because I needed a bag, then I had to choose the aztec one. I was looking for quite a big-ish bag because I wanted to use it as an 'aeroplane bag' to use for my upcoming holidays. So when I saw this, with it's lovely print I had to have it. It has a long strap so you can wear it on your shoulder and short straps to wear it on your arms. It was only £10 and it is just perfect and is exactly what I was looking for. So when you see my blog about my holiday, you'll bound to see a picture of it because I know that I will get a lot of use out of it.

A Day To Remember

Teenie Weenie post today. Today was one of those special days that you just know, in 5 years time, you will look back at that day and think "That was such a good day" and smile to yourself about that little memory.
I went on a business trip to Chester Zoo, which isn't that far from where I live and I went with some of my closest friends and we basically just had an amazing time.
Most people will be like 'oh a boring zoo'. Not for us, we made it so much fun.

We also made a vlog and popped it on my YouTube channel, so please check that out! the link will be at the bottom of the blog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZoetPzOxDw


This is Me, Megan and Becca and we had to stop to get a quick picture with the plastic monkey.. Who wouldn't?
This monkey wasn't special, but we were waiting to go in to a business conference and it was there, so we couldn't help ourselves.






So this is one of my bestest bestest friends.. Megan, she's like my twin and we always know how to make eachother laugh. She's the kind of friend you can just look at, and you'll think the same thing as and then laugh. It's her birthday tomorrow, so Happy Birthday to her ! x

Hannah, Haf, Becca, Megan and Me. We thought to get a nice picture in the lovely sunny weather by the Cuban flamingos. So if you are wondering what is in the background, they're flamingos.

We had such a great day so if you are interested please have a look at our vlog that is linked below.




Please check our Vlog out.. Much appreciated.

Are You Yourself ?

This is just a quick blog to those people out there that aren't the most confident of people.
 I've had life quite easy because I haven't really ever gone through anything major. I'm not here to brag at all but I had a great childhood and have never been bullied so I never really understand how people can become depressed over things.  I have a few friends that are scared to tell people things, afraid to stand up for themselves. Which is hard for me to understand because I'm quite a confident person.
One friend in particular puts herself down all the time because she doesn't look the same as someone else, or doesn't have the same figure as someone else. What she doesn't understand is that we all look different for a reason, I find that you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone else, because if god wanted us to be the same he would of made us all the same. Everyone's unique and it takes a while for people to understand that.
If you have boy troubles, if you think your not good enough because you don't think your pretty enough, or skinny enough then your wrong. Don't think that just because your different that your not good enough  Your fine the way you are. If your not happy the way you are then change it otherwise you might have to deal with it. ''Don't Be A Girl That Needs A Man, Be A Girl A Man Needs''.
If that person really likes you then they will accept you for who you are. But if they are embarrassed to be with you then they're not worth it. If that person doesn't like you because your not the 'barbie perfect' type then it's their loss.
Don't change for anyone, and be confident for who you are.
Much Love x

Topshop Haul

Thought I'd do a fashion blog today, so I decided to do a 'Topshop Haul', these are the items that I have bought from Topshop in the last 2/3 weeks.
The pictures make them quite unflattering, but I will soon be doing a 'spring outfits' blog, wear I will wear a lot of these clothes, so you can see them on.


So the first item, that is probably my favourite one is this Aztec Print blue and white dress. Now I'm not really the type of girl that wears dresses to go out in the day, but when I saw this I loved it. It fits perfectly and has a zip up the side. It's tight and then flares out a bit but not too much. It has a lace up back which looks so pretty and I think this will be great for when I go on holiday and as a lovely summer dress. So I was happy because it's a dress that suits me. Plus it was £34 pound which isn't a bad price for a good quality and detailed dress.


 Next thing I purchased was another pair of their frilly ankle socks because I think they are so cosy and they look really nice with shorts and vans. I also have a grey pair of these and I wear them a lot so I bought the white pair. On me, they suit vans and converse but they go lovely with dresses, skater skirts or with shorts. They are £3.50 each or you can get 3 for £8. As the weather gets nicer, I will probably go and buy more pairs because Topshop does so many designs of them.

 Next thing I bought was a plain grey vest, it's pretty basic, on the picture it looks huge but I can promise you it's not huge. It's just a loose fit vest that will be nice for me just to place over my bikini on holiday, or to lounge around the house in. It's good because in the summer, I just like to throw a vest and top on and this will be perfect for that. Plus, even though it's only grey, I like the colour. This was £6, or you could get 2 for £10. Now I got 2 for £10 because I got this grey one and my Mum got a dark red one, haha.




 Now I bought these leggings a couple of weeks back, but I thought I would add in this haul because I have wore them a lot and I just really like them. They're just dark red / burgundy leggings. They are quite thick and you can't see anything through them. Some days I come home and I just want something to lounge around in and these are great for that. I think they were around £18 and they go with quite a lot of things, you can either dress it up with a blouse or just lounge about in them with a vest.



This is also one of my favourite purchases. It is a figure hugging but stretchy crop top and I got it in white because I don't have many white things. I have been looking for this kind of top for a while, but there was so much choice. I chose white because I don't have many white things and it makes my tan stand out more. On me, I think this will look nice with denim shorts and it was only £8. I just think I will wear it a lot this summer because it is so versatile.

 Again, this isn't my best photography, but I got this Long sleeve Check Shirt for £29. On the picture it looks absolutely huge, but I can assure you it's only just longer than an average shirt. I like the colours and it goes with loads of things I have wore this a few times with shorts and tights, but personally I prefer wearing it tucked into jeans. The sleeves roll up and it has a top button so it is good no matter what the weather is like.
The last thing I purchased was one of Topshops Nail Varnish's. I've heard loads of  people say how good these are so I went out and purchased one. I got this bright blue one in the shade 'Air Kisses'. It dries fast and has a lovely glossy finish. It was £5 and I would definitely go and buy some more shades. If you don't own any of their nail varnish's, you should definitely go and get one. I find that the best thing about this nail varnish is that it doesn't chip to easily, so it stays pretty firm, and also the range of colours Topshop have.

Thanks for reading, let me know what you think  in the comments below.

Unplanned Is The Way Forward

Today I thought I would write a lifestyle post. A bit of advice.
Sometimes the very best dates are the ones you have no idea are going to happen. Yet, whether you're a girly girl or not, you probably have some sort of process of preparing for a romantic date with a boy, but nowadays, I find myself on days with friends, family dates, not really on dates with lads, but that's fine with me. No matter how you much preparation you put into things, they will probably go wrong.

Back to my point, for me, if me and my friends plan something perfectly it's not as good compared with the days that you don't plan yet you end up having a lovely day.
I'm just saying, don't try and plan everything out in your head, (perfect days and perfect situations) because their will always be something that messes it up. Just take everything as it comes.

I've brought this subject up because I've recently fell in love with the film LOL and the TV drama Awkward, many of my friends say that Awkward resembles parts of my life, which I agree with (if you haven't seen it then check it out! new series starts on Tuesday April 16). Whereas LOL must be the cutest film ever, I just love it so much. It's about Lola (Miley Cyrus) and her love life and how she falls in love with a lad called Kyle (Douglas Booth) - (HOT).. it's a perfect relationship by the end, and a typical way of falling in love. Trust me it is a cute film, a real chick flick. ( I recommend you watch it ).
My point is that everyone thinks that their love life is going to turn out like all these amazing love films, such as The Notebook. Films are written by scriptwriters, then can make perfect moments happen whereas in real life it doesn't happen like that. If you single or in a relationship, don't expect it to be perfect like all these films. Also don't think your relationship with someone is wrong just because it's different to what happens in films.

^...a picture of me and friends having fun last year...^
If anyone has any ideas on posts I should write, please let me know in the comments. 
A spring outfits will be up soon!

ABC.. Advice

ABC Advice
I haven't blogged in almost a week because I've been quite busy and I'm never too sure what to write, tonight I had an idea. There are 26 letters in the english alphabet so I am going to give you 26 pieces of advice / quotes. Sorry it's so long.
Some quotes are good, some are cheesy, some are daft, but does it really matter?
If your a typical teenager then you can probably relate to a lot of my quotes of advice.

A.1. ''Don't Be A Girl That Needs A Man, Be A Girl That A Man Needs'' I think this is a good quote because there is way too many fake girls out there today, people wear too much make-up, act like bitches and are just fake, nobody likes people like that.
B.2. ''People Change'' A lot of people think that everyones personalities will stay the same, but of course they won't everyone changes! People change so that you can learn to let go, even though eventually you might find out that you can only trust yourself.
C.3. No matter how detailed you plan things, they will probably go wrong. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. Sometimes even good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
D.4. ''Happy Girls Are The Prettiest'' I think that this quote explains itself. Chin up and don't let anyone bring you down. 
E.5. 'Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover'' Everyone judges eachother, just by looking at eachother and If you say that you don;t then your a liar, but  every single person has their own story, so don't judge someone until you know what they have been through.
F.6. ''Love The Life You Live'' You've really only got one shot at life, so deal with everything that gets thrown at you, no matter how hard it is, you can get through it.You shouldn't wish for a completely different life.
G.7. LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE, it's a little motto people should live by. Three words, but it explains so much. You should live your life because you never know what's around the corner. You should laugh, have good times and laughed at the people that looked down on you and love, who you want, whenever you want, but you know that sometimes everyone gets hurt. Its a part of life.
H.8. There isn't such a word as 'Hate'. Hate is just Jealousy. When people hate on you, it's because you have something that they want.
I.9. Don't waste your time trying to change the past. It's already happened and you can't change that. Life wasn't made for you to travel backwards. Look forward to what's ahead for you.
J.10. ''Be Thankful'' I bet your life could be so much worse, but it's not. So treasure it.
K.11. ''Count Your Smiles Instead Of Your Tears And Count Your Courage Instead Of Your Fears'' Be happy as who you are, if they are a true friend then they will except you no matter what. You shouldn't change for anyone.
L.12. '' I Like You'' Do not be ashamed to say it. It has to come out. You should tell them, if you don't want a reply then don't ask for one. Its better to get it off your heart before you get hurt. Falling for that person may never of been planned, but all you should ask is for them to respect how you feel.
M.13. Life is no storybook. No matter how many films you watch, your life will probably be completely different to love stories. Films are written by scriptwriters, they can make up anything they want, you've got to understand that in real life, it's never that easy.
N.14. ''Every Second Is A Chance To Turn Your Life Around'' if there is something you want to change, then go for it, don't be afraid of the answer, and never overthink things that you can't change.
O.15. ''My Life'' Everyones life is there own, make choices and decisions by yourself, depending on what you want out of it.
P.16. Success- no matter how hard things get don't quit. People who succeed, have gone through mistakes but they have carried on..they don't quit.
Q.17. Family are so important, even more important than friends. Friends come and go, but family has to stay. Deep down they will be there, no matter what you have done.
R.18. ''When People Stop Talking To You, They Start Talking About You'' when people walk out your life for no reason, you shouldn't let them back. Even if they come back with an excuse.
S.19. ''SMILE'' let everyone know that your a better and stronger person, you shouldn't have anything to frown about.
T.20.  ''Karma'' What goes around, comes around. I believe in Karma. If someone is nice to you then you should be nice back. If they bitch about you, be careful what you say.. Karma will get them, but it could get you too.
U.21.  If you are brave enough to say 'GoodBye' to someone/something, then you will be rewarded with a new 'Hello'
V.22. ''Don't Compare Yourself To Anyone Else In The World'' you are who you are for a reason, and you shouldn't have to change that but if you do compare yourself to other people then your are insulting yourself. It's better to be beautiful on the inside than on the out.
W.23. ''If Your Thinking Of Giving Up, Ask Yourself Why You Held On For So Long'' it's a true quote, just because things get tougher doesn't always mean that you should just take the easy option and quit.
X.24. ''Sometimes The Heart Sees What Is Invisible To The Eye'' looks aren't everything, personality will always shine through. 
Y.25. In your head, you spend most of your time remembering old memories and thinking of perfect situations. Sometimes that's good, but why not go out and make those situations happen? You should have no regrets. What have you got to lose?
Z.26. He's Funny. He's Adorable. He's Sweet. He's Loving. He's Awkward. He's Caring. He's Beautiful. He's Awesome. He's Perfect.
I didn't mention any name then, but HE popped into your head didn't he?

Thanks for reading, comment below and let me know of any quotes you like? Or if you would like me to do an updated version using letter for letter advice.?
