Honesty blog

Hii everybody, you've probably forgot who I am haha!!!
My lack of blog posts have been due to me drowning in college, work and preparing for uni.
I'm going to try and do more blogs as it is therapeutic for me and does make me happy.

DISCLAIMER, I AM NOT GAGGING FOR ATTENTION, I JUST WANT TO VOICE AND TYPE DOWN WHAT MY FEELINGS.

Talking about happiness, I wanted to say how I've feeling recently.
I havent been extremely happy for ages, I may act like it but there is a big dark cloud over my head weighing me down.......

Between going college everyday  with the work load trebling, going to work on the weekends, trying to save money for my holiday volunteering at the hospital, and actually trying to have a social life  I'm getting more and more overwhelmed with EVERYTHING.
I feel like I am in need for a break but with exams and deadlines becoming ever closr this is the time where i need to buck my ideas up and concentrate.
Yess i know some people may read this and think that I'm being absolutely ridiculous and they have much more to worry about/ feel overwhelmed about. Yess I understand that but comparing my situation to other peoples situation will not make my situation better or easier ( if that even does even make sense).

I am going to admit this now I am falling behind in college and it is stressing me out. which work do i do, the old work but by the time i finish the old work the new work is suddenly old work, and vice versa.....
Does anyone do that thing where they are soo behind on work or have lots of work to do that they dont do it in hope it magically disappears and you get A* for it.
I am not depressed I am going to say that now, depression is feeling extremely unhappy/sad for a long period of time, I am happy sometimes but I feel overwhelmed.

What annoys me the most is people not understanding or taking me seriously when i say i feel overwhelmed, especially older people saying 'you have nothing to feel overwhelmed about' or ' do the work then' i feel like if I say anything that people are gonna think  im 'gagging' for attention. Im not btw.

Here are some things that I think are helping me calm down  and feel less stressed, for anyone who is feeling the same as me.

• going for walks, never underestimate the power of going outside for a walk on your own with your earphones in and blasting the music, it really helps me to chill out and put everything in perspective.
• going from the last bullet point listening to music, music has a powerful affect on me and can make me happier and is therapeutic for me.
• another idea is to writing what your feeling down, ( or in my case typing) actually typing this blog post has helped me as i feel like my thoughts and feelings weighing me down have been passed on to this post which makes me feel more at ease and calmer.
• Talking to friends who are in the situation as you, they will most likely be in the same position of feeling overwhelmed if they are in college. Talking about it can make you realise you arent the only one feeling like this and it is totally NORMAL

Dont think this blog post s a poor amy lets pitty her, lets make it into a positive place to give recommendations on how to relax and calm down :).


sorry for this ramberly unorganised blog post i just wanted to spew out what i was feeling :)

I promise you next blog will be more positive.

My new hairr!!!

Hii everybody!

After a year and 3 months I have finally chopped my uncontrollable mane and it feels SOOOOO much better. Ive wanted to get my hair cut for a long time I just didnt because I had to go to two weddings within two months and I wanted long hair to do nice updos or curly hair with. I had about 7 inches off my hair and I had long layers with slight feathering aswell. I love my new length hair sooo much I actually may get my hair cut more often (shock right). 
I wanted to get a lot of hair cut off because it as really dry and split ends were 3/4 up my hair which is veryy bad! 

The pictures above a obviously before i had my hair cut, both curly and straight. The only thing I will miss with having long hair is how much better it looked in a pony or a plait going down my back but other than that I love my new hair!!

About 20 people have asked me do you miss your hair or ooohh no you've got short hair. Some people are too over protective over their hair, HAIR WILL GROW BACK. 

tbh i do get the nervous my hair is too short panic attack for about 10 minutes after leaving the hair dresses but the amount of hair she took off was like a medium sized dog so I did feel bald for about 3 hours after, but I can say I prefer it better sooo much! 

I'm back!!!

Hello, Everybody 
Sorry I have been absent lately.. 
My life has been VERYY hectic lately,I got a job in the end of august working in the arcades in Redcar, I usually work one day on a weekend, but I am now looking for a second job because working only 6 hours every week on a ridiculous wage of 3.72 an hour (slave labor) doesn't get me very far. The positives though is I get paid every Friday which is better than every 4 weeks in my opinion . 

I am also 90% into applying for university (scary right) the actual uni application isn't that bad its the personal statement that is getting me stressed and I'm feeling the pressure with college work since I went into  second year, coursework WILL be the death of me.

On the 16th of august I went to my cousins hen do weekend in Liverpool, we shopped in Liverpool, on the Saturday then in the night went out in Blackpool. Next on the Sunday went to see Mamma Mia. It was soo awesome and I had a lovely weekend away with my family! 

Then on 23rd of August I went to another Hen do my Aunties a day at york doing a pub crawl! It was a really good day enjoyed having a chill day with my family and friends. 

me and mam x

beautiful mother and sister x

Then on the 25th of September I went to my cousins wedding, I was a bridesmaid and it was such a fantastic day! here are just a couple of photos from my cousins big day!

 On 15th October I started volunteering at James Cook Hospital been a TVC ( therapeutic care volunteer) which I am on ward one, looking after patients helping them move around, talking and helping with the food, this can be handing the food out or helping feed patients. It is sooooooo rewarding volunteering at the hospital because I feel like I'm giving back to the community and getting excellent experience for uni as I want to study nursing or a paramedic! 

Then on the 18th of October I went to my aunties wedding, again it ws such a beautiful emotional day! 
Here are some pictures from the day!

And thats the main events that have happened during my break!
I have 5 blog posts that I am working on right now so be prepared for me to get back on track and have regular blog posts!

New beauty haul!

HII everybodyy

I have done a TON of shopping recently for beauty products, soo lets  begin the haul!!

I heard a lot of hype about this Vaseline spray and go moisturizer, so I decided to buy it in the aloe Vera fresh. I have used it everyday and I am VERY impressed with it. Not only do I LOVE how fine the spray is and even distributes the product on the skin, the actual formula is non greasy and takes literally seconds to rub into the skin. 5* There is two other types, one is the original and coco butter. You can buy them anywhere, for example boots and tesco.

Next is this new Revlon lip product which I bought yesterday actually. It is the new Revlon colorstay moisture stain in the color 015 Barcelona. I have been waiting for these to come into the UK for ages. I got the color in a bright barbie pink. It is very glossy to start with but not sticky or uncomfortable on the lips, but the real beauty of this product is that it is a stain which means after the gloss goes throughout the day there will be a pink stain left on the lips.

Next purchase was because of the very famous YouTube Vlogger, Zoella who mentioned the Rimmel Kate lipsticks and give me a itch to buy one. I wanted a darker cherry red than I have already got, so i searched through the different colors and chose the Rimmel Lasting finish by Kate in 107. The lipstick is very creamy and easy to apply, and after blotting because the lipstick is matte it stays on the lips for a long period of time. However if it does come off it is SUPER easy to apply over as some lipsticks don't go on smooth if you apply over however this is like a DREAMM

The top photo I applied a slightly darker lip liner to darken the lipstick slightly and the lower picture is without lip liner.

OKAYY now the best bit.... confession time I may have bought 4 nail polishes in a space of 2 weeks after not buying any for 2 months!! AHWELL. 

First nail polish I bought was from Essie called ruffles & feathers which is from the limited edition summer collection. The color is a very pretty muted blue toned green which looks perfect and fresh on the nails for summer. 

Next color is from Topshop, I love topshops nail varnish because of the huge range of colors!! This color is called new wave and it is a very pretty corally orange color that makes a tan look deeper and is maybe the most perfect color for summer!! 

Second from last nail varnish is from Rimmle London and it is the semi new Sweetis crush collection which I love because it is a slightly textured nail polish which is great for people who find it hard to apply nail varnish smoothly, also textured nail polished usually last longer as they are harder wearing than other smooth polishes. This color is called 011 violet swizzle I got this color because I don't have any texured purple colors. You can use this alone with two coats or one coat over a purple nail polish. I LOVE IT.

LAST NAIL POLISH IS AWESOMEEE.

WOWOWO this polish is soooo pretty. Okay it is from Revlon and it is 485 Artsy. Honestly it is the prettiest blue glitter nail varnish I have ever seen. Normally colored glitter nail polish is either just the color and no glitter or the complete opposite and puts a pile of uneven glitter on your nail. BUT THIS IS BRILLIANT. First i love the color blue is a fav color for me and the different sized glitter particles makes the polish application look multidimensional. Everyone should go and check it out.   

Okay that is the end of this longgg haul and if you got to the end then WELL DONE YOU ARE AWESOME. 

CYA TILL THE NEXT BLOG POST 

BYEE X

Fashion fridays- outfits of the week

HI readers!
I am going to be a better blogger now I am off college for the summer ( i promise)
So now I am going to introduce a new segment to my blog with fashion Fridays. On Fridays I am going to post a blog about a outfit I like the most in the week. It may not be a Friday outfit but the best outfit or several outfits that I particularly liked that week. I will show pictures or the outfit and where everything was from. Or the Friday blog can be a fashion haul of things I have bought recently. Basically Friday is fashion. Also Friday is when the week turns over so from Saturday to Friday I will count as one week.

 Okay this week I had three outfits that I liked in particular
First one was from Saturday, when it was EXTREMELY HOT.

  This is a really cute maxi dress from newlook that I bought last year and only wore once on holiday! I found it in the back of  my wardrobe and vowed to wear it more because it has the prettiest pattern on it. The maxi dress is navy blue and it is a strapless dress which snitches into the waist,with different Aztec patterns. Then because I like to have straps or something over my shoulders I put this cute lace shirt on from Asda and tied it on my waist to give me some shape as sometimes a maxi dress can drown someones figure. 
The shoes I wore with this outfit were some leather sandals from Primark.

  They are very cute and simple with just two straps going across. I like very simple sandals and these are surprisingly comfy which is always a bonus. 

OKayy next outfit is this one on monday!

 I really like this outfit because it has different patterns and looks very cutsie. Okay the dress is from Dorthy Perkins and it is a checked black and white, and the top is a crocheted lace top from voulez vous in outfit. 
The shoes are from primark, they are very cute mustard loafers that are super comfortable and actually go with many outfits. 

 Last outfit of the week that I liked is 

This outfit was from Wednesday when I went out for a meal with my friends!!
the top is from apricot in Outfit and it has tassels and different sized crocheted and lace parts of the top and I have tucked it into a high waisted button down skirt from newlook which I got on sale! It is navy blue and come with a flower patterned belt which goes with the shoes which are the same from the previous outfit.

Just to add in I got some shoes on sale from matalan that are super cute!

They are a bright summery green color and made from suede, with a rope detail! They are really cute and go with many different outfits!

And that is it for this weeks Fashion Friday!
