Most probably my 'Aussie Aussome Volume' shampoo and conditioner, I swear by it.

I do love visiting Wales. I guess when I'm away from the busy life of cities etc, so anywhere in the countryside!

4) Favourite television show.

My Mad Fat Diary - Nico Mirallegro is gorgeous.

I guess I like writing my thoughts down. This blog started off mainly being beauty/fashion related but I hope to shape this blog towards being like an online diary.

Reading festival Summer 2k14!

7) Shorts or skirts?

Probably skirts.

8) Favourite post - Beauty, fashion or lifestyle? 

I do like beauty posts but I am very nosy so probably lifestyle posts.

To be a model. I disagree with all the skinny, weight loss rubbish but it would literally be the best job ever.

Many blogs...mainly Charlotte's Web  and Sprinkle of Glitter

2013 - a summery

Well how the time has gone by, it's 2014 already!

The year 2013 was a massive year for me, one of extreme highs and a few lows but none the less it was amazing.

I thought I would review my best bits of each month in 2013.

January - A main highlight for me was going to see Lilygreen and Maguire busk in Bournemouth with my friends Lauren, Georgia and Megan. I actually got to meet them for the first time and they lived up to my expectation. Such lovely men and absolutely amazing performers - I recommend you check them out! 

A downer was probably doing more of my GCSE examinations, which looking back now were a piece of cake but at the time I was stressing and anxious about doing well. But I am happy to say it all turned out well in the end!

 
February - A highlight in this month was seeing One Direction perform live in London O2 with my best friend Lauren. It was my second time seeing them live, first was at the Teen Awards 2012, but they again smashed it. I am not a 'HUGE' crazed fan but I do enjoy their music..and they're faces *cough* Harry *cough*...but yeah it was an incredible night.

March - My favourite month, it was the month of my 16th Birthday! On March 5th, I saw my idol for the first time, Olly Murs, perform in Brighton. I went with my friend Abbey, a fellow Olly-Obsessed. We made a banner and he frickin read it, he frickin read it! he actually acknowledged us, I cried.... I also saw one of my favourite bands live, Of Monsters and Men and I also saw Gabrielle Aplin live! A busy month I know, but by far the best.

April - The Easter holidays bought a fabulous trip to Brighton to shop with the girls. It was such a fun day out, we even vlogged it! Lauren and I had out joint birthday at Pizza Hut and after party and sleepover at hers, which was epic, so glad I can share my birthday with my best friend. We had extra fun chemistry revision sessions at school during the holidays where me and Lauren filmed our own version of Starships (nutters.)

May - This month bought the beginning of many of my final summer exams, around 15 in fact!...not much fun but an experience I have faced. This month I saw one of my favourite bands, Bastille, live in Brighton, which was one of the best gigs I have been too, such good vibes. We even got to meet him twice! This month also saw great friendships grow and our support to each other throughout exams grew and couldn't be stronger. It was also a sad time to have our official leaving assembly at high school and begin study leave, lots of crying. 

 

(May I just add I am currently writing this listening to 'Story of my Life' by One Direction...getting a bit teary)

June - The beginning of Summer and the end of exams! I spend a lovely weekend in Cornwall to celebrate a family friends' wedding, the weather was touch and go, but on the day was amazing! This month was also the beginning of my experience at my new college as we had a Summer BBQ there, which was lovely. And finally, Prom! Such an amazing night, such good memories. 

July - Summer had finally started! Beach days with friends, work and literally chilling out!

I also got the chance to go see Olly again!, Alton towers live! Got a bit sun burnt from standing in the sun for 8 hours but was totally worth it! 

August - Summer continued with more work and a lovely week long holiday to Spain.

Summer fun with all my friends.

September - The month I started my new college. It was a massive change but I have grown to love it.

October - Went to see Nina Nesbitt live in Brighton, she was incredible.

November - Went to Camden to see Lilygreen and Maguire perform, spent the day in the markets and got some nifty stuff.

December - Went on a lovely trip to WinterWonderland with some of my friends. I have never been there before but It was spectacular! We were fortunate enough to go ice skating too.

And of course Christmas, which was the best. 

Looking back now, I have been very lucky through out 2013. I have remained healthy, I have experienced a lot and have met some lovely people along the way.

Lets hope 2014 can be even better!
