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!

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!

Small Summer Dress Haul!
Hellooo! So today I was sat in class, not paying attention, as you do, when I suddenly heard my teacher talking about Holiday's. And so, naturally I started day dreaming of surf, sand, sea and cute guys... did I say that out loud?! Oops. Don't judge me, cute guys are.... cute?? But then I realised that I had not a single dress to take on Holiday with me this year! So as one normally does (hehe, posh!) I spent about three hours online looking at dresses. I found some gorgeous ones and some... not so gorgeous ones. So that is where you guys come in! I am going to give you website addresses to find all of these gorgeous dresses and give my opinions, so that you can look like a summer goddess and all the cute guys fall at your feet... whoops we're back on the cute guys again! Let's do this!
First up is this beautiful flowery dress from boohoo.com. I think it is a beautiful design and would be perfect for day trips to the beach or even just hanging out with your friends. The strappy straps however, may make some people uncomfortable, so I found this super cute Leather jacket to go with it from New Look, which also has a sort of flower design on it.
Dress - £15
Jacket - £49.99 (Very expensive though cheaper ones are available!)
Dress - http://www.boohoo.com/restofworld/clothing/dresses/icat/new-in/layla-floral-strappy-skater-dress/invt/azz27349
Jacket - http://www.asos.com/new-look/new-look-floral-embroidered-leather-look-jacket/prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3631400&clr=Black&searchterm=leather+jackets
Next I found this absolutely adorable dress (again from boohoo.com). It's a beautiful design perfect for day trips/ road trips. The dress comes in 5 different colors : Blush, green, lime,mint and orange. (The color in the picture is blush). It has quite wide straps and so it will probably not need a cover up. I thought that this beautiful dress needed a hair accessory
, so I had a look and I found this cute clip from etsy.com.
Dress - £20
Hair clip - £3.89
Dress- http://www.boohoo.com/restofworld/clothing/dresses/icat/day-dresses/frankie-sleeveless-chiffon-belted-skater-dress/invt/azz34200
Hair Clip - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/107592687/peach-hair-flower-coral-hair-flower-hair?ref=market
The next dress I found was this cute more formal type of dress, from New Look. I, personally think it is beautiful and would work well if you were meeting some friends, going out into town and having a nice meal out. I really love this dress and I am not sure, but I think that Zoe Sugg (Zoella) may have this dress or one similar. Again it is a coral color
and has a stunning peter pan beaded collar. I thought a nice beige cardigan may go very nicely with this dress, until I saw this absolutely fantastic cardigan from ASOS. It is stunning and I am genuinely desperate to buy this cardigan, I love it!
Dress - £22
Cardigan - £62 (I know, but you can find cheaper look alikes else where!)
Dress - http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/dresses/coral-peter-pan-beaded-collar-skater-dress_313809583?isRecent=true
Cardigan - http://www.asos.com/Band-of-Gypsies/Band-of-Gypsies-Open-Knit-Crochet-Cardigan-with-Kimono-Sleeve/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4172271&cid=2637&Rf989=4862&Rf-200=20&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Cream
This dress, I must say is very beautiful indeed. I love the slit on the dress, it does seem very goddess like. It looks like a dress that ought to be worn be an angel. Ok... I'm getting a little carried away here. I do really love this dress and think it would be perfect for an evening out, with the girls or a hot date. God, we're back to the cute guys again! It is from Boohoo.com ... again. It is also a boob-tube dress and therefore some people may not like it, but I love it! How many times have I said that now? To go with this stunning dress I picked some simple, yet stylish wedges that I am pretty sure I am going to buy for myself this summer! These gorgeous wedges are from New Look, which surprised me a little.
Dress - £20
Wedges - £19.99 (So basically £20)
Dress - http://www.boohoo.com/restofworld/clothing/maxi-dresses/icat/maxi-dresses/ella-formal-bandeau-chiffon-maxi-dress/invt/azz29749
Wedges - http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-shoes/cream-crochet-sling-back-cork-wedges-_305084612
Something I thought would be a bit of an aquired taste, but a pretty enough, casual dress for the summer was this cute one from Top shop. I shocked myself with liking this dress as it is a little out of my usual comfort zone. But, I found it pretty and girly. However, the lace detailing makes it a little edgier and more grown up, than a cutesy little girl dress. To go with this I found this adorable sun flower headband/ garland from New Look that was very inexpensive.
Dress - £34
Headband/Garland - £3.99
Dress - http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/dresses-442/photo-print-daisy-tunic-2854639?refinements=Size%7b1%7d~%5b8%5d&bi=121&ps=20
I hope you enjoyed this small summer dress hall, I'm sorry it took so long to upload but it is hard linking and finding pictures from all the websites! Disclaimer : This was NOT a sponsored post and all opinions are my own.

2 Easy School Day Hair Styles!
Hellooo! It is me again! And today I was sat in front of my mirror thinking...
What the hell am I supposed to do with this stupid hair?!
And that brings me to today's blog. Easy school day hair styles! I know that looking good at school is important so here are a few simple steps to some simple hairstyles!
Style One - The Fishtail braid!
First, make a very deep side parting and pull your hair to one side. (Doesn't matter which!) Then split your hair into two sections, we shall call the two sections A and B. Now, take a small piece of hair from the back of section A and cross it over to the middle of B. Then take a small piece of hair from B and cross it over to the middle of A. Keep repeating this step until you can't plait any longer. Now tie your hair off with a clear elastic or a thin bobble. (A big thick one will look strange.) Finally, pull the braid apart slightly, to give it more thickness and volume. As an optional step you can pull strands of hair out around your face.
Style Two- Half up, Half down!
Ok, so first you need to brush through your hair and make sure to rid it of any knots or tangles! Just use your natural parting, as it will not show anyway. Next take a section of hair from the top and front of your hair and scoop it back. Then (using a comb) tease the roots of the section you have just created. Do NOT tease too much, as you will look a teensy bit strange. Then tie the section you have just used towards the back of your head into a sort of small pony tail. Your hair should now look like this:
Well, those are my two simple hair styles! I hope you have found this useful and make sure to send me pictures of you trying out these awesome hairstyles!

Concert Time!!
The truth is, I'm totally freaking out right now! Tonight is the night of the end of year concert! Now, I just thought we'd be stood on stage singing in front of a few people. No. The stage is incredible! It really is just like Glastonbury!
So that brings me to the topic of luck!! Wish me some good luck guys!
Test Survival Tips!
Ok, so it's that time of year. No, I don't mean periods! Its the term everyone dreads because of end of year tests. Yep! Its time for those incredible, wonderful tests that we all love so much. Not. But, we all have to do them... Unless your out of school and reading this for fun in which case...um... carry on! Here are my super cool (hopefully) tips for surviving the tests!
Tip number One!
You HAVE to study. But, maybe you don't have to study for a long 3 hours straight. No. I find that the best way to study is to take frequent breaks. Study for say fifteen minutes and then have a quick 5 minute break to check on twitter, instagram or you know... this blog?
Tip number Two!
Blast your favorite music while revising, well maybe not too loud, your parents may not appreciate that! Listening to music may calm you down and ease the pressure of all the tests and revision. Except heavy metal, that will get you more worked up and scare the neighbors dog, so that it starts barking and then you'll be upset and angry and.... well you get the idea!
Tip Number Three!
When your in the tests themselves, do not panic. Keep calm and think about the latest one direction song and sing it in your head. Tests may look intimidating, but always remember: It is more scared of you, then you are of it! Keep calm and relaxed. Your brain works much better when you are relaxed.
I hope any of these simple tips helped! If they did leave me a comment! I will try to respond as much as possible!

Cute Simple Summer Eye Makeup Look
So, today I thought it would be nice to share with you my ways on how to cute, simple eye makeup for the summertime! Let's get started!
Step One
You will need to take your favorite eye primer, I am just using the Rimmel London Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, I have only just bought this and have only used it a few times. Now apply the primer all over the lid of your eye and a little into the crease to ensure that the eye shadow we put there stays all day.
Step Two
Next I am using the Urban Decay Naked Palette, I know I am very late getting this one, but I love it and have been using it a lot recently. I am just using the fist colour and applying it all over my lid. Using the same colour, I am applying the shadow to the inner corner of my eye and slightly underneath it.
Step Three
Next, I am taking 3rd colour along and applying it in the crease and blending it with the 1st colour. Make sure that apply extra to the outer corner of your eye to give it a darker, smokier effect.
Step Four
Now, I am taking the 6th colour along and applying it to the outer corner of my eye and blending with the other two colours, make sure to go about a quarter of the way onto the lid while using this colour.
Step Five
Now, it's time for eyeliner. I am using the Revlon Colour Stay Skinny Liquid Liner. You want to apply a thin line and wing it out ever so slightly when you reach the outer corner of your eye.
Step Six
Finally it is time for mascara! Right now my absolute favorite mascara is the Maybelline The Colossal Go Extreme Waterproof Mascara. It is fantastic and I am loving it especially the look of the brush and the way it makes your eyes look. Do NOT apply too much mascara as you will seem fake, apply a little to your top and bottom lashes.
That is my finished cute, simple summer eye makeup! I hope you enjoyed this and comment what you would like to see next!
