I knew you were trouble...

Now I firstly have to say.. I have been slacking a great deal on my blog! I really love writing blog posts so I am sorry I have neglected it! But I am back! 

The song I have been obsessed with this week is Taylor Swift - I knew you were trouble

It's bloody amazing!

Now I bought my Iphone5 and it arrived on Monday and I was SO EXCITED!! I absolutely love it and the first thing I downloaded was "Instagram" ;) I am completely obsessed and although I don't really understand it yet... I have no idea how to follow people but I am learning!

You can watch my new haul video here!

So moving on to a sadder note, as you have probably heard, I lost my nan last Tuesday. It is still very raw and everyday she is on my mind! Some days are fine.. and others are very hard! It's the first time I have lost anyone with the knowledge of what death really is. I am one of those people that grieves in private... and is strong for anyone else that is upset! I like being a rock for people. I don't really want to get too personal about my nan, Teresa, as it is quite a private matter between friends and family :)

But I do want you to tell that I have been working on a personal poem about my nan with my cousin, and we're going to read it out at her funeral! Which is on the 27th of November (next Tuesday) I'm hoping I will be able to read it without choking up.. because as I said I'm not one to show my emotions in front of lots of people.. especially a whole church full of people! But it's one of those things where I won't know until the time comes and I'm standing in front of everyone reading it out!

So I spent a lot of yesterday writing out stuff for the poem, it's so hard trying to capture everything you want to in one poem... there is so much you want to discuss but then it can't be a novel! It has to be witty, heart felt and to the point!

On another point, myself and Shane made fajita wraps last night and it was so yummy! I like being surrounded by people at a sad time like this so having friends round cheers me up!

I must say the food was delicious!

I hope you like the images.. and the one of the child and the lady is my nan and me when I was a baby.. obviously ;)

Hope you liked this post!

Weekend In Photographs - Hastings

Hello guys! Firstly, I just want to say thank you to you for looking/following my blog! I always have a burst of enthusiam for blogging but never keep it up! But this time, I am loving it and for once, not feeling like I "have" to blog, I get excited to sit down and upload the photographs and type away! I don't know, I guess it's kind of therapeutic, and the inner Carrie Bradshaw in me can come out! Although, don't expect any life changing, inspirational quotes from me, they sometimes pop out in a blue moon, but for now, this blog is kind of like an online diary.. and I am loving it!

So on saturday morning, I woke up at 6:30 (horrific on a saturday morning) and got ready to be picked up by my dad to head to Hastings! Me and my cousin Holly shared the iPod the whole way there, which was roughly around 2 hours. It is surprising how having good music on a journey makes the time go so much quicker! When we arrived and met my aunty Jane in her lovely home, I love the style, very shabby chic and cute! We had a lovely cooked breakfast and chilled on the sofa to watch "Man on fire"... one of the best films.. ever!

We then went around the old town which has loads of antique, vintage shops which I loved. There were so many faux fur jackets for around £30 and I was desperate for one, but sadly they were all too big! But I couldn't believe the price, in London they'd cost a fortune! Also, when I eventually move into my own home, I am definitely going to Hastings to find pieces to  furnish my place, it was very affordable and had the whole shabby chic style going on. Love it!

Then we went back, got dressed into something more smart and headed out for some drinks in a pub. I must admit, the wine did go to my head as I was running on an empty stomach.. but that was soon sorted when we went to "Fagins Diner" a really lovely restaurant and the food and service was great! We then headed over to a pub with a live band, I felt like the scene from Titanic when Jack and Rose are downstairs dancing on the tables.. it was so fun and everyone was just dancing away to great music. We continued on through the night until it was time to make our way home. It was one of the best nights I have had in a long time, definitely want to do that again!

The next morning, we headed out for a lovely cooked breakfast. It was bloody gorgeous. Not really much else to say on that behalf! We then had a look around some shops and popped into a friends beautiful apartment. It was incredible! Like a rockstars pad...

Towards late afternoon we took the dogs out for a lovely walk, I'm not too sure where it was but all I know was we were basically walking along a cliff edge and we could see the sea along the way, it was beautiful! And wasn't cold which was a plus! 

So after that, we retired to the lounge where we watched "The last of the Mohicans" it's a favourite of my dads but I must admit.. I wasn't hooked! We then watched X Factor, had a bite to eat and headed out the door around 9pm to go to Gatwick. Sadly, not to jet off on holiday, but to pick up my dad's girlfriend.

So after what was an amazing weekend, full of family and laughter, it is monday and I have work in a few hours! Back to reality. But it is weekends like this that make me realise how life isn't so bad, and how I am truly very lucky to have such an amazing family. However, having such a good weekend put into comparison how boring my everyday life is, and how I am just so desperate to do something about it!

This was a bloody long post.. and if you have gotten this far I do congratulate you! This may be slightly boring for some but I enjoy reading back the posts.. as I said, like a diary!

Hope you enjoyed the photographs and the writing!

Thank you!

Everyday Face!

I created a video of my everyday makeup routine! My skin is never perfect and is very acne prone, so I thought I would do a video showing how I cover up my bad skin! And hopefully, not in an overwhelming "cake face" kinda way! More of a natural coverage! :)

Harry Potter Studio Tour

My friends and I booked tickets for the Harry Potter studio tour! We booked it a few months before going and we all thought it was going to take forever until we actually went! But soon enough it was the 6th September and we were all so excited!

The Harry Potter Studio tour is based in Watford, where most of the filming of Harry Potter took place. It was just so magical being in the same sets/rooms that all the cast have been in! Especially in the great hall, knowing all the amazing, talented actors/directors/producers/special effects people have been was over whelming! Now I won't give too much away as you should definitely go check it out for yourself, and I can't even begin to explain how magical it was being there, but hopefully the photographs provide some insight into how incredible it was!

So we just had to try butter beer and my thoughts on it were a bit.. :S

It was "okay".

It was weird! Creamy and thick on top, fizzy and caramel like on the bottom, it was drinkable but I wouldn't be back up for seconds! ;)

If you'd like to see a more detailed tour of the Harry Potter Studio's, then I have just uploaded a vlog about it. It was like a follow me around kinda day/video, so check it out here.

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Thank you.
