Hello Everyone!
Right now, it's Christmas Eve! I can't explain how excited I am! In fact I'm snuggled up right now watching the Polar Express, which can I just say is the most amazing Christmas film ever! And if you say you don't like the music in that film you're lying!!
Christmas is my all time favourite time of the year! The magic, the lights and everyone seems to be happy! Yeah, Yeah, cheesy I know, but it's true! Like my dad has actually not been being grumpy for once! I just love it all, especially the food!
To be honest, I feel so christmasy right now, and that's the only reason for this blog today! I just wanted to say a Merry Christmas to everyone reading this and I hope Santa brings you everything you want! Because he's real and if you think he isn't you're lying again ahahaha!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!

School First Aiders
Hey guys!
It's a bit of an understatement to say that I'm annoyed. Hell yes I'm annoyed. I have been really ill all day, it's a miracle I haven't thrown up yet! And even though I told the school 'nurse' at 9:00 this morning that I felt terrible, I'm still sat here in school and it is now 12:35!
At the time the nurse told me to ' See how I go'. So, I was alright with that I mean it was early, she had to check it was real. At 10:00 I felt even worse, so I went back to the nurse to find that this time it was someone else! She again told me to 'See how I go'. Then at 11:20 (The end of break) I felt horrific, so I found my head of year and told her how bad I was feeling. She told me to wait until 12:00 and then she would ring my parents. At 12:20 there was no news of anything happening. So, I went to the school nurse to check. And guess what she said;
SEE HOW YOU GO!
For god's sake! I have been 'seeing how I go' for the last 3 1/2 hours! I feel like absolute hell and just thought I should share with you guys how utterly stupid my school is!
Let me know in the comments if anything like this has happened to you!
Until Next Time

Weird Friends At School
Hey guys!
So, basically I was asking around my friends to see what I should do for today's blog. And obviously they wanted it to be about them! But to be honest, that's not gonna help you guys who come here for makeup, beauty and life posts. So, I decided that I'd tell you something a little different.
Weird friends are the best. Yeah, your little group might not be the most popular people in school, but having weird friends who actually care about you is better than having popular friends that couldn't truthfully care less. It's better to have weird friends that you can have a joke and a laugh with, than people you can't be your crazy self around.
It doesn't matter if you have 7 different personalities. When you're around your friends, your parents, your crush. Weird and honest friends will love you through all of that. They even won't leave your side (unless they die laughing) when you drop a super large Fanta all over the hallways in the cinema. Yup, I actually did that. And that drink was like twice the size of my head!
Even if you're backstage at a rehearsal and you you know casually fall over nearly all the scenery because it's pitch black! Yeah, there's someone who's gonna be there through that too. Even if all they do is laugh.
Weird and super awesome friends will be there when you fall down the stairs in an embarrassing costume and nearly kill half the scenery. Yeah...
But anyways the message of this was just to say that you don't need a huge group of friends, weird, small groups of true friends will mean 100x more!
That's all for now
Bye!

My Skin Problems!
Hello Everyone! I'm back. . .again!
Now, as most of you know, I suffer from quite bad acne. This is not a result of makeup, because as much as I love it I only really use it when I am going out somewhere special or in case I am going to see certain people that day. This is just my skin being annoying! And I know that somewhere out there, there must be someone like me who suffers just as badly with their skin and the emotional side effects.
To be perfectly honest, my skin effects me more than it should. Some days I have cried and hidden away in my bedroom because I feel ugly. And I just wanted to share this with you and say that you are not alone in this. Many other people suffer exactly the same as you do and you, yes YOU are perfect! Although I can't always see this in myself every single person in this world is unique and beautiful. So what you have acne? No big deal, people should judge you based on what is on the inside not on your appearance. Be confident in your skin. Accept that yes, you have acne, but also you have amazing eyes and really pretty hair. Focus on the positives and think of it this way:
I was given acne to show people that I am that special that god (or whoever you do or don't believe in) marked me but left everyone else blank.
Just remember that you are gorgeous no matter what people say. I have had people call me spotty and a spotty scruff, but I always try and think that they might say this now, but who's going to be laughing when my skin clears up and they get this, hey?
Ignore these people, they are not worth your time and you deserve better. Stay strong. I hope this has helped!
Bye!

How To Be More Organized!
Hey guys! Wow how long has it been?! Most of you are probably 80 by now...
Anyways! Welcome back!
Today was non uniform day at school. Yes I'm from England and yes I have to wear a uniform. It sucks let me tell you. Anyway I had the issue of forgetting to sort out or iron an outfit and so I was stuck with something that wasn't... well the best shall we say. And so I decided to give you a few tips on how to be more organized! Lets go!
1. Stick little post its on the back of your door!
Putting brightly coloured notes on your door will remind you of what you need to do or sort out everytime you leave your room or look towards the door when you're trying to magic food up the stairs and to your mouth.
2. Set a reminder to do something on your phone!
This may seem a little weird but set an alert for a certain time the next day. Maybe for when you wake up, that way you can't get started straight away!
3. Use the sticky note app on your laptop!
Use the sticky note app to attatch notes to the desktop of your laptop! Its super easy and then when you go to watch netflix guess what you'll find! And no its not Aladdin.... they don't have that film....
And those are my three quick tips to being more organized! Keeping a diary also works great! I hope you enjoyed and there will be more entries coming soon! Keep calm (which is hard because Mockinjay Part One comes out next week in the UK) and I'll see you soon!

Summer Beach Bag Essentials
Bag - http://www.buymedesign.com/blog/mischa-travel-series-bags/
Now for some essentials every girl needs in her beach bag!
First up is a makeup bag. This one, I was given as a gift after I survived parents evening... more on that later. Here it is my cute Ted Baker Makeup bag. On the website, it does say it is a washbag, but I prefer to use it as a makeup bag! I think that is absolutely adorable! I tried to track it down online and I found a website where you can purchase this!Makeup Bag - http://www.tedbaker.com/uk/Mens/Gifts/Gifts-for-her/PIAVE-Small-bow-wash-bag-Dusky-Pink/p/111784-51-DUSKY-PINK
I was thinking of going into details on my makeup and preferences, but I decided that everybody has their own favorites and they can just use their own, without my influence.
Another important item for my beach bag essentials is of course sun cream! I mean, duh! My personal favorite is this one from boots. It does make your skin appear paler, but for me it is fantastic because I burn like a kebab on a BBQ! Yes, I know it is meant for kids, but it works really well! It has SPF 50 and protects your skin for up to 8 hours! Which is ace!
Sun Cream - http://www.boots.com/en/Soltan-Once-Kids-8-Hour-Play-Hypo-allergenic-Suncare-Lotion-SPF-50--1-x-200ml_1253294/
Brush - http://www.boots.com/en/Tangle-Teezer-Pink_1000439/
Body Spray - http://www.hollisterco.com/shop/uk/bettys-body-mist-body-care/solana-beach-mist-670187
Now obviously you need a seriously cool pair of Sunny's! I love this pair, however I got them as a gift! And I do not know where they came from! But they are absolutely adorable! They work really well as well! I
L-O-V-E them! They are so pretty and I have been given quite a few compliments while wearing them!
So that is it! I hope you enjoyed this little post!
Stay Awesome sauce!

Little Things To Make You Smile
Ok, so today I'm sort of having a bad day and that made me think 'Wonder what's going to make me smile today?'. Answer : Nothing. I am literally typing this in class and I just got a pretty great score on my test and not even the tiniest smile. But there are things that can make you smile. And here's a few to think of when you're down and feeling just ugh.
I can honestly say that this blog is helping me and I can't wait to talk to you later on with another beauty post!
- A crazy best friend. (That's right now pulling faces and speaking in a baby voice while trying to use publisher. Classy, Loz!)
- Food. Food makes everything better! I'm kidding of course but pizza or Ben and Jerry's can seriously help when you're feeling down! Mmmmm.... Cookie dough....
- Your favorite band. That's right blast some seriously awesome music and dance around. Or, if you're feeling too bad to dance, which gurl what happened?, just chill out and check instagram or twitter.
- YouTube. This could just be me, but a funny YouTube video can m,ake eveyrthing feel better! I recommend Zoella (Zoe Sugg) or Connor Franta!
- This one sounds ridiculous, but sitting outside in the garden is great. It makes you feel very relaxed.
- If you're at school, just forget where you are and concentrate fully on angrily saying (in your head) all the things wrong with people and the world. It helps, it helps me a lot. (Not that that's what I'm doing right now!)
I can honestly say that this blog is helping me and I can't wait to talk to you later on with another beauty post!
