June favourites!

Image
Just a quick post because I do not have many favourites for this month. Clothes and other fashion related crap There isn't really anything for me to write about for this as I haven't really gotten anything new lately or any thing that I can say is a favourite of mine. But I have been wearing a lot of high waisted jeans lately and those are really the only types of jeans I wear now. I have also gotten my prom dress but you won't be seeing it until my next post. The only new thing that I have gotten is a necklace that I love as it has both my name and birth stone on it. There is more to it, as you can see it is a puzzle piece but I can't show the rest yet, for reasons. Music Well this is another one that I can't really write about because it links back to my previous post and all the music that I have been listening to lately are in the playlist in my last post. So go check that out here . Television and movies Lately I have been watching Net...

24 hour Challenge!

There is nothing more I like to do than to listen to music. Music takes up a big part of my life, as I literally spend all day listening to music. Whether if that is generally listening to it or just having it playing in the background; when I am doing something such as reading, writing a blog post, going through social media or doing revision. I always have some sort of music playing. I actually think I haven't gone a day without listening to music. As I listen to so much music I have a big range of different genres and singers that I listen to. One question people tend to ask is 'Who is your favourite singer/band?' and I can never answer that question because I don't have a favourite, I like music as a whole and I would listen to pretty much any type of music. Even though I say this my music taste is structured closer to R&B and Hip hop than any other genre, but I still do have a big liking into other genres. So I challenged myself to create a 24 hour long pla...

Media trailer 2016!

Image
So for the final piece of my Media coursework we had to make up a film and produce a trailer for it, My group originally started with me, Beth, Chloe and Amy but at the end it ended up only being me and Beth. I don't remember how we had thought of the idea of the plot and storyline but we stated doing the story board and script and it just came to us, well Beth was the one who had thought of what to do. So if it has any similarities to anything already out there blame Beth. The Filming was most probably one of the longest parts of making it as we had a lot of lessons when we couldn't really film anything because someone may not have been in that day so we couldn't film there part. Amy left to go back to France so we had to get Kay to be Tessa. So we had a lot of lessons when someone wasn't in so we didn't get as much filming done as we had wanted to. So Beth decided to get some videos she took in Ireland and we used some of those in the trailer. The editing took...

February favourites!

So first of all I want to apologise for not posting so far this year, this is because I am currently in year 11 and as this is my last year and I am going to be doing all my exams I have a lot of revising to do. I have also had a lot of coursework to do and catch up with so I have been really busy doing all of that. But hopefully after my exams in June I will start posting regularly again. So I  just thought you should know what is currently going on. And as for once in a while I haven't had any homework or coursework to do so I decided to do a quick favourites post. By the way these are my favourites from the past few months not just February. Clothes and other fashion related crap Lately I have been wearing my hoodies more often, this is mainly because they are all really comfortable and I like to sleep in them because when I wake up I find it easier to get out of bed because they make me warm and I am not waking up to a cold house. So my hoodies consist of my pink Adidas one...

Happy New Year!

So first things first hope you like my new design, I just thought I needed to make it more me. If you are using a desktop or laptop then the top bar sadly doesn't work, to navigate through pages go to the sidebar. So other than that hope you like my new design and layout, because I've been working on it since October. Anyway onto the actual post I would like to wish everyone a Happy New year. All I've really got to say is 'Wow'. It has been such a year thinking back to this time last year, I posted my first blog post. So what have I done since then, Well I went to see 5 seconds of summer, One direction and Fifth harmony which I have written posts for, I completed my first year of GCSEs, I met Lucy and Lydia and The Brooks, And I'm sure plenty of other stuff as well. So that Is what I did in 2015. So what is planned for 2016? Well I will be doing my mock exams in a few weeks, I will be going to see 5 seconds of summer again. Yay. I then have my exams starting...

Christmas present haul!

Image
So yesterday was as everyone knows Christmas day and we celebrated the birth of Jesus. And by doing that we all got gifts and presents from friends and family. So I guess it is time for me to show you what I got. So first thing is the top above which is from Primark. I really like this top because, well read it, It describes me really well. It is also a long top that goes to about mid thigh and the back is a bit longer than the front with slit in the side.  I got a PS4 which is my main big present which I love. Along with the games Uncharted and The phantom pain and I've started playing them both and and I really like them. I got £100 cash, which I am going to use to save up for my puppy, that is unless my mum decides that she is going to get me it.  I have gotten some boots which are from Primark and I really like them even though I was the one to pick them out.  I got Justin Bieber's album. So yay!  I h...

Most probably Home alone, Elf and The Grinch, don't know why, I just really Like these films. 2. Have you ever had a White Christmas?

Where do you usually spend your holiday? At home with my family. We never really go anywhere we just prefer to stay at home with the family. 4. What is your favourite Christmas song? All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey, Santa tell me by Ariana Grande and Winter wonderland/ Don't worry be happy by Pentatonix have to be some of my favourites.

10 Years time!

So I wrote this post back in February for Jess' blog and decided I would also post it on here because why not.  Today the question is what would my life be like in 10 years? That’s a tough question because who really knows what their life would be like in 10 years time. For example any life changing thing could happen to someone in the space of 10 years, and it could change a life for the better or worse. As really 10 years is a big space of time, 10 years ago I was only 6 years old and so much has happened since then that I would never of thought would happen. I remember so many things that have happened since I was 6 many being meeting the friends I have now and other less important stuff. I got the idea of this post from Alfie Deyes (Pointlessblog) as he made a video about what his life would be like in 10 years time and as it did for Alfie it also got me thinking about what my life would be like in 10 years. In Alfie's video he tried researching an answer and couldn...

Going to see Fifth Harmony!

Image
So on Monday as you most probably could tell from the title I went to go and see Fifth Harmony with the two best friends Jess and Shiels. And lets just say we had a great time. So as you may have guessed I am going to be describing my day to you. So the day started of being at school for a long and tiring 6 hours. And a hype Shiels singing a lot of Fifth harmony songs. After school we got changed at school and Jess' dad picked us up at around 3:20 (I think). And we went straight to London. The journey was very weird and strange as it contained conversations about school and other random crap, and also a lot of selfies of me and Shiels.  The journey also included us taking in the surroundings of London and Beth getting scared of a Lady bird and also being scared of every tunnel we went under. The journey also included going to McDonalds because why not.  So when we got to the 02 at around 5:30, we pretty much went straight to Brooklyn bowl, which is the part of ...

Album review: 5 Seconds of summer Sounds good feels good!

So 5 seconds of summer brought out a new album on the 23rd and lets just say I personally really like it. Sounds good feels good is a 17 song album (the deluxe version), and even though most people had already heard 5 of the songs from it before the rest of the album came out, I can still actually say that I love it. I really like the sound of the album as a whole and how it is about the new generation. All of the songs are or could be really relatable to many people and that is one of the main features to why people are going to like the album. So the songs (In album order): Money Money is one of the songs that came out before the rest of the album and is one of the upbeat songs from the album. I really like this song because it is really catchy and found it easy to learn the lyrics especially with the chorus. And at concerts it would seem like a fun song to sing along to. She's kinda hot Again She's kinda hot is a song that was released before the rest of the album an...

Going to see One direction!

Image
So the day my last post went up and as I mentioned in it, I went to go and see One Direction with my Best friend Jessica. And I had a really great time to be honest. After waiting 5 years of being a One direction fan and this being my first time going to see them, I have to say it was worth it and I would really like to go again. So hopefully I could see them in 2017 after their break. And I would be looking forward to do it again especially if I was with my friends as I want this to be something that I keep doing with my friends, As in going to concerts and stuff as it is a really fun thing to do and it is a great way to be with my friends and bond a bit more. So anyways on to how the day started, So as it was a Wednesday it was a school day, so even before going to London we still had a long six hours of school, But after school Jess came straight to my house, where we got ready for my dad to pick us up 3:50. I wore Some blue jeans which were £40 from River island, I wore my One di...

Clothes and other fashion related crap So if you follow me on Twitter you may know that it was my birthday last week as I tweeted about it about 500 times, again don't judge.
