Best of July

 Can't beileve the 7th month off 2013 is already over and done with already. The months just seem to be going quick and decided to sit here and reflect on everything that has happened this month. Usually, I think I've wasted a whole month doing nothing so this way, I will be able to reflect on everything that has actually happened this month along with my favourite products off the month if there was any.

Firstly, there was my prom. The most exciting event that has happened this month. Honestly could off been done with the amazing teachers who organsied it all and was such a great night. If you want to hear more about my prom: dress, hair, few photos then click here and it will take you to my other post about everything.

Photo with my brother on arrival.

With my best friend since we were 5 year old.

While in England, there has actually been some hot weather. Few days were even hotter then Ibiza and Spain therefore I thought off enjoying the weather while doing something productive. I live near lots of farm and walking routes therefore I decided to do some walking along these marked out walking routes(no jumping over fences to private land) and had a good stroll down the lanes, enjoying the sun. Prewarning, don't forget a water bottle, finished 4 miles walking and water was needed.

While my favourite drink is 7 up Cherry! This has to be the best drink out off all the brands off cherry, this has the right cherry taste to it. I can't stop drinking it and only seem to find it in Tesco, so everyone who is a lover off cherry drinks needs to get this!

Lastly, I've decided to try and ombre my hair. Big shock to my hair, since I'm such a safe girl who doesn't dare to do anything to different with my hair. This was the first try with Live Salon Style in shade 9-5 which is frozen pear blonde. My hair was literally the same colour as my shirt so in one go it changed my hair to a light brown/ginger colour. Cant wait for it to all to go blonde!(Sorry for the most unflattering photo)

Lastly, my favourite bloggers on this month. Of course I am loving the big bloggers like Zoella, Sprinkle of Glitter and Tanya Burr. However the top two who are little less known are HeyyyJune and The Lovecats Inc. Their blogs are so good so go and check them both out! Well that's the best off this month, that's it for this month. 

Don't forget to follow my blog on GFC and Bloglovin. Hopefully one day, there will be a giveaway for you all. Hope you all have a good day. 

Suffering From Prom Blues

The other day, I had my prom and now I'm suffering from the prom blues. The night was amazing, seeing friends again, seeing my teachers, everyone suited up and dressed up and being together as one again for the last time ever.

Everyone needs to go to their prom, it is one off the most amazing things ever. Specially if you have teachers like mine who spent endless hours planning my prom and the night was perfect. The dress I wore, which you may have seen before, was from vponsale dresses. The dress was custom to my size and lasted the whole night without falling down or needed to be adjusted. So lucky there wasn't any bits that were not meant to be seen or unattractive dress pulling. The clutch was from a haul before, from dorothy perkins.

Didn't know what was on the floor but full view off my dress. 

Arriving at front I was faced with a photographer shouting stuff which I really didn't hear but was a good photographer. Took some good photos off the whole event. While my actually prom was amazing, there was dancing, awards that the year voted for and a few tipsy teachers at the end off the night. The teachers were shocked about how the year was so dressed up and grown up as they were used to use in our uniforms. Even got a kisses off my teachers on the cheek like I proper adult, never felt so grown up. So overall, prom was an experience I will never forget and something everyone should go too. I wasn't even planning on going to my prom, so glad I did in the end and encourage everyone to go to theirs. It is something you won't ever forget so matter what. Going to leave you with some photos from my night.

The photographer was Frank Henshall Photograhy. A photo with my close friends and the only one from the proper photographer. All the rest off the photos are from a friend in the year below me who was invited to my prom to take photographs. I prefer her photos then too the professional.

With my best friend Harry, the only photo we have together where we are not laughing or pulling silly faces. 

With the girls just before we went into the hall.

With my best friend since we were 3 year old, having a little dance off with Harry and Lewis. 

With my best friend Lewis near the end off the night.

I was smiling while laughing, Harry and Lewis said something funny and pulled their serious faces. 

Just before me and Kirsty left to go, about the 40 photo mum took. 

All the photos are taken from my friend in the year below, how amazing is her photography skills? Apart from two photos which you can tell from the quality. Everyone needs to go to their prom, it's a day off pampering, dressing up and a night you won't ever forget. Hope you liked looking through some off my photos and if you have any questions, just ask me. Happy to answer. If it's your prom soon, hope you have a great day!

Highstreet Summer Inspiration

Finally it is starting to get to the summer weather and you may be stuck for what to wear. Maybe you just want to try something new and different. I have done four different styles from four different highstreet shops. Everything can be brought from their shops or online. Hope these give you a few more ideas off what to do this summer, it's been awhile since there has been any sun in the UK.

The first one is from Next It's a casual day time look but like a shopping day out or even a beach look

 The second look is more off a festival look or a sporty day out look. All the items are from  New Look and all more a comfy clothings for jumping or running around in.

 The third look is from TopShop. The look more off a smart and casual look all together. The patterned shorts and bag give the look a more smart look while the baggy white cami and denim sleeveless top gives it the overall look a different look.

 While the last look is from River Island. It's a more summer look with the bright green maxi skirt but not too over the top by the simple coloured from the rest off the outfit. This is always good to way at day time or at night by adding a smart jacket to it.

Well that is the first outfits. Hope you liked them and got some ideas from them to help towards your summer clothes or even your holiday clothing. Leave me a little comment and follow me on bloglovin. Button is on the side! Along with my Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr.

Silky Summer Legs- Homemade

The world of Tumblr. The place filled with  little cats, penny boarders and  quotes from your favourite TV shows. Where for me, I found this amazing little recipe to get super soft silky summer legs. At first I did not believe this would work because stuff like this never work but oh my! It worked and I couldn't stop stroking my legs. This recipe came from http://militaryfit-bombshell.tumblr.com and it is far better then everything you could ever buy from a shop for sure. You all need to try it. 

You will need;

• 1 1/4 C Sugar (Yup, plain, good-ol’ white sugar)
• 1/2 C Oil (I used olive oil, but you can use any oil, coconut oil, baby oil, canola oil)
• 3 tablespoons Citrus (Lime or lemon)
• 1-2 Razors
• 
  

1. Mix everything together in a bowl.
2. Soak your legs in the tub for 5 minutes.
3. Shave your legs.
4. Rub some of this mixture all over your legs. The sugar will help rub off all dirt and dead skin. Rub, rub. Feels like a mini massage.
5. Rinse it all off, shave again. I would use one razor per leg if you have two. You will be rinsing this razor a lot. I was GROSSED out by the amount of dead skin I was “shaving” off. It was insane! Trust me, you’ll see.
6. Rub your legs again! Second coat of wax, oh yeah.
7. Rinse off! You can use a mild soap to help get some of the oil off.
8. Lotion your legs up, and feel the silkiness!

This is perfect to get them really soft summer legs that everyone wants when wearing skirts and shorts. It's cheap, it's item from your household that everyone normally has. I have no doubt that once you have tried this, you wont't believe how amazing it is! This has got to be one of the best things you will ever try and you're welcome! I know you will love this as much as me. Get yourself ready for summer now! If you are in England, get your self ready for the tiny little bit of sun we get now and then.

Liebster Awards!

What are the Liebster awards some off you may be asking? Well I didn't have a clue what this one until I got nominated by two wonderful blogs: everything-nothing and Lucie's corner. These two blogs deserve for you to have a look out and even a follow. Well the liebster awards is where blogs under 200 followers get nominated by other blogs, they answer a set off question and tag another 11 blogs. I got nominated twice so I'm going to do both set off questions that the blogs above asked me. 

Everything-nothing's questions: 
What is your favourite book?

My favourite book is by far ‘The Help’. It’s about black people being white people’s maid and the problem that they have while working and the revenge they set out on the white people. A very funny book!

2. What made you start blogging?

I think it’s because I was reading other blogs and wanted my own. As I’ve finally finished school, I thought it was good timing to use spare time productive and will be more exciting things then just going school everyday.

3. Who is your all time favourite blogger?

It has just got to be Zoella! It was the first blog that I came across and I ended up reading most off her posts. 

4. What is your favourite hairproduct?

At this moment it is currently Got2Be heat protection. It smells so nice and does a big job.

5. What country do you want to visit the most of all the countries in the world?

6. What is your favourite band/singer?

7. What is your favourite item that you own?

Well it’s my Goofy Teddy from Disney World from Japan my brother got from his hoilday, i am just a disney freak.

8.What color of nailpolish do you use the most?

Well at the moment as it’s summer (well kind off) and I’ve a bit more tanned now, it’s this pastel green nail polish. 

9. If you could go back in time, how old would you want to be? and why?

I think it must be when I was about 5. It was the time when it was just me and my brother used to go the beach all the time, my grandparents were still here and my biggest worry was if it was too cold for my paddling pool. 

10. What do you do on a cosy day at home?

These are normally my sundays. It is all about PJs, the duvet covers being brought downstairs with hot chocolate watching my favourite TV shows and catching up on the soaps. 

11. What is your favorite TV series?

Well my all time favourite shows is Criminal minds and all the CSI’s. However for when I’m waiting for the new episode of these to come on, Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother is just a classic.

Lucie's Corner's Questions: 

1. Why did you start your blog?

I think it’s because I was reading other blogs and wanted my own. As I’ve finally finished school, I thought it was good timing to use spare time productive and will be more exciting things then just going school everyday.(Same answer as above)

 2. Something you’ve recently learned?

Recently learnt a life lesson, high school will be a long distance memory and the people in there you are less likely to ever see again so don't get caught up on the drama.

3. Your favourite band/singer?

Like above, It's Maroon 5! While for the singer it's Ben Howard.

Little Freebie- Garnier Moisture Match

Everyone loves a little freebie don't we? No matter how small or big the freebie is, everyone does love one! A great website is www.magicfreebieuk.co.uk. This website is amazing, it's mainly competition or give-aways where there is only 200 for example, and you have a chance of winning. However there is some where you just get a free sample like I did here and tells you good sales and discounts that is happening. Everyone should go on there and have a look.

 I got a moisture match by Garnier. I got three different samples, normal skin, oily skin and dull skin. It came in a little cute little folded up leaflet with the samples in the middle. It's a good size and giving me a range off different types to try. 

Front view off the leaflet

The three samples that I was sent

Fully opened leaflet, how it came

This was such a good sample. I will be definitely be buying the moisture match for oily skin. I didn't even know Garnier did a range like this, it's new and these samples have really happened me choose the right one for me. I will be buying the full size bottle of the oily skin one, they are perfect for my skin. 

So everyone should check out the freebie website and try out the garnier moisture match face lotions. I recommended them to you all.

High School Memory Box

Recently I have finally finished high school. Wow. I have been waiting for this day since the beginning off year 7 and it's came and I just thought to myself, five years have gone so quick. I'm going to admit, I am one of those people who completely hated high school and didn't have the whole school year as my friend. I stuck with it, stayed out off drama and did all the work and didn't really care about what everyone else is doing. Looking back, I've had some amazing times with some good friends who I won't ever forget. 

The build up to the ending off school was filled with people writing in leavers book (writing how we were in the same class, memories and wishing me luck for the future and where they think I will be doing). While the last day was a leaver assembly where we sang our year's song and signing shirts and a lot of photo taking. I've decided to put everything from high school into a box and will be able to look back at in a few years.

What I've put in my leaver's memory box, little bits of high school.

The back off my shirt from the last day, sorry for any penis from my inappropriate friend 

Two pages off my leavers book from my friend Lewis and Lucy, a page that doesn't have any embrassasing stories.

My two school ties, we changed ties when two schools combined as one

Some certificates that I achieved in high school, a netball one there! when I actually  ran

So here my little memory box from my last five years off school. When if you did hate school, do a little box or something! It is a big change, five years going and at a new land mark in your life. School did have some good times but I did have good friends who actually helped me through this time. Will actually truly miss the insane lot. Go and make your little memory box that you can have a look at in a few years time.
