OOTW: Chill Out, Its Easter!

I've been looking forward to the Easter holidays since the February Half Term ended - I'm only working 2 days this holiday, and I've just got to do revision for college! Seeing as I'm not going out every day I just like to have chill out clothes on, like for revision or doing my laundry or ironing.



Rockabilly Baggy Tattoo Top, Primark - £8

Black Leggings, Peacocks - 2 for £10


I haven't got any make-up on so I can let my skin breathe for a bit and I'm totally loving just doing nothing for a change!

My hair is just a complete mess so I've tied it up into a high messy bun and let it do its own thing.

My toe nails are painted as are my nails, but I forgot to take a picture for some reason - but they are in the lilacy colour from the Barry M Gelly Nail Polishes shade 'Prickly Pear' (you can buy it here).

Well see you for my next post my lovelies!

Blogmas Day 25: Christmas Day 'Baby Its Cold Outside' OOTW!

This is a scheduled post today - seeing as its Christmas day I don't really want to be on the computer as I'm so traditional that Christmas day is about family! I thought I'd show you what I'm wearing today and what I will be doing!




Cream Fur Coat, Primark - £35


Ivory Pearls, Collectif - £15


Black Alpine Clover, Clarks - £39.99









My make-up is pretty simple and basic, I have some lovely shimmery gold eye-shadow for the glitzy Christmas effect along with some thick winged eye-liner! My lips are a burgundy colour to match my dress this is the Rimmel Lipstick in shade 107! (Cheeky little mince pie too, can never get enough!)

My itinerary for the day is pretty calm and relaxed! Mum and me get up at around 7 as mum makes Christmas Morning Cranberry breakfast cupcakes and I make pancakes! After we have all had a hot cuppa (I always have a super luxury hot chocolate on Christmas morning!) we then proceed to open presents, we don't normally start till about well 9.30-10 and by the time we finish its time to sort everything out and then start getting things ready for lunch. The dogs normally go out for a play with all their new toys until lunch time were they get spoilt rotten by me giving them around a tonne of treats (they only get spoiled on their birthday's and Christmas and they work it off so its fine!). We normally have lunch about 12-1pm and its generally just an array of things such as the ham my mum cooks and cheese and crackers and pork pie and nuts and crisps - basically a platter to be honest! This year I'm going to take the dogs for a Christmas walk because I feel I just need some time alone to reminisce everything and how much things have changed from last year. We then just put the radio on, play Boggle as this is always a tradition (and I always end up crying with laughter because my mum just writes 'new' words into the dictionary and I can't control my laughter). Me and mum then start preparing dinner just so we don't get too stressed out and we can relax. Instead of Christmas Crackers we have the idea of a table present (this is normally just a joke present which no more then £5). We split the Christmas dinner up between us - Dad does the starter, mum does the main and I do the dessert! After we just relax and watch all the Christmas programmes, I get into my new pyjamas with yet another hot chocolate and then I go to bed and relax and sleep and cuddle up!

Well I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and may all your wishes come true!

Lots of Christmas Love

Blogmas Day 20: Holiday is here!

So today I have finally finished college for 2013 and I can now begin to chill out for the next few weeks for Christmas and New Year! My last lesson today was English which I enjoy so much! English is like my most favourite subject in the whole wide world ever (apart from when I have to write essays...). The thought also dawned on me that this was my last college lesson of 2013... Scary stuff. 

Oh well I can relax now and watch some Christmas movies...

What's your favourite Christmas movie? Mine at the moment (apart from Robbie the Reindeer!) has to be Arthur Christmas!

REMEMBER - 3 BITS OF STICKY TAPE! (You'd get it if you've seen the film...)

So close to Christmas now!

OOTW: No Effort Required

I know, I know, its been what 2 weeks or so since I've done an OOTW - but I have felt so low these past 2 weeks, and I just did not feel in the mood to do anything including blogging. But now I am finally back on track, I am doing OOTW's again and scheduling posts for when I can't get to post due to the amount of work I have! Anyway - what does the title mean? Well, this week has been a lazy kind of "can't be bothered" week, so I just went for a simple neutral coloured look...






Oversized Stone Cardigan, New Look - £12.99

White Vest, Next - £4


Fluffy Socks - £2

Coral Tie Headband, New Look - £5








Who's excited for a CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY!?!?!!?! Details will be released this sunday, and what you may be in for a chance to win! 

Lots of Love

OOTW: Travelling

Okay, as I explained in some of my earlier posts, I'm doing my OOTW today, instead of tomorrow as I just won't have the time tomorrow! Tomorrow, I have to go to college for my English Lesson, then the travelling begins... I have to get the train from Lewes to Guildford... then I have to have to wait in my dad's work (which I've never been to before) for around 45 minutes when we will leave to go to Blackpool (staying overnight at my aunt's) to then travel to Burnley for my Great Aunt's funeral on Wednesday  So because of all the travelling, I thought my OOTW would be inspired by the fact that even though you can have relaxing and comfortable clothes, you can still look good too!




Yellow Spot Loose Blouse, Next (SALE) - £8


Black Leggings, Peacocks - £12 (2 pack)


Pink Patent Handbag, Next - £40


Grey Ella 'Ugg' Boots, Amazon - £15.99



My nails are painted with the Mavala 'Touch of Provence' (lilac) and the Rimmel Lasting Finish in 'Hot Shot'. I just have my hair tied up into a high pony tail, however I may opt to have a half up/half down do, tomorrow, just to make it a little more 'chilled'.

Sorry this is a super quick post, but I've been busy at work and packing today and trying to sort out my silly emotions!

Millions of Love & Cuddles!

Weekly Overview (June 2nd)!

Since I fell ill this week, I had to cut my hours down at work as I have to be super careful with the children I work with. So instead I ended up doing a photoshoot with my lovely friend Eddie for his recent project. Since it was half term though, I got paid extra to work so I am still okay financially (for now!). So, whats for the week to come? 

Today: With having some serious throat strain earlier this week, my band and myself have arranged a day of just rehearsing our new songs and just a little jam. However, we are also going for a 'band outing' to the garden centre to have a little nosy! After I'll probably just come home and relax and look at updating my Sky TV Subscription in my room *sigh*.


Monday: Today I am at work again, I have lots of appointments in the clinic department of my work so I will be drinking a lot of coffee and seeing a lot of students with their parents and carers! I have 3 annual reviews today, and I also have to help with my own brothers botox injections in his legs (oh fun). I finish work at 2 and get to come home and cook my dinner and relax in my room again, and maybe do some browsing on some blogs! (Don't forget to leave your links below in the comments so I can have a look at yours!)


Tuesday: Another morning spent at work working in the clinic again (its that time of year!) However I finish at 11.30! This is my last week before going back to college where my hours will drop again and I will be working weekends and nights a lot more! After I get home I will do some blogging, before going to my singing lesson to try and sort my voice/throat out again! 


Wednesday: I am working in the multi-sensory room again today, until 12.30 but then I will be meeting some royalty who are paying a visit to my work! I will be meeting alongside with the colleagues and students at my work, the Duchess of Gloucester (Patron of the school) and the Duchess of Cornwall! (How exciting!!!). After, I will probably come home, and cut the lawn and ring Sky up before doing some singing practice at home and then going to band practice! 


Thursday: I get a lay in!! ... Well until 9.30 and then I have to go to work for 3 o'clock till 7 and then I will go out for a meal with my colleague Esther and then come home and watch Psychobitches on Sky Arts!


Friday: Day off to get things ready for college again! Today I will be spending my day in my room songwriting, bag sorting and sorting out lots of blog posts and stuff for you all! Ah gosh! 


Saturday: Thankfully I am only on-call this weekend but there is still a good chance I can get some rest! Hopefully, this Saturday I will be helping my family with things to do round the house and hopefully I will be going to speedway with my good friend Charlie! Lets hope I don't get called off to work!


See you next week for my next weekly update! I doubt it will be as interesting as I go back to college however I will try and get some fun things to do in!!


Love

Valentine's Day Can Be Hard...

Its come to be that day in the year again were there is the segregation of those who are single and those who are in a relationship... Yup, its Valentine's Day; and to be quite honest with all of you, I am dreading it terribly. If you know me personally, you will know I had a very difficult year with relationships last year. One was a long distance relationship and the other was a long term one, which slowly turned into a on-off relationship before he moved away. I am not afraid to show my emotions after months of bottling things up about how I really felt, and the only people I can thank for helping me was my friends. 
How am I going to try and cope? - Okay, well, you can deem it stupid or silly but me and my best friend have actually sent each other a Valentine's Card as we have both recently become part of 'Singleton'. What I am also going to do is treat myself and keep myself busy. I am going to be doing a deep cleansing of my house, top to bottom. I will then bake myself, yes myself, some cookies (death by triple chocolate cookies if you really must know!) and not think about my feelings one little bit. Whether this will be successful or not I really don't know, but I will try my hardest. For me, I won't also be having my phone on me. The reason for this is, my ex who I am now friends with may text me, making me think emotionally of the past. I will try and keep strong, but please, if any of you feel like you are having an emotional breakdown tomorrow, treat yourself, indulge in something you love, because you deserve to be happy, just as much as those people who are in a relationship, if not more. Your knight in shining armour will come one day, until then just keep beautiful!

Tomorrow will be hard for myself, and for others who feel alone or upset, it can feel like everyone around you is in a relationship, and it can seriously play with your mind, just ignore it, easy said then done I know; but if you can ignore one thing, then that makes you just a little bit stronger then if you were to think about. And if you do think about the things you don't want to think about, don't punish yourself. Think of the bright magical future ahead. The past can't be changed but the future can.

You are all beautiful and amazing. And to me, it doesn't matter if one or a million people read my blog, the followers I have, each and every one of you make me happy and feel special that you actually want to read the rubbish I write about! 

Bless You All. 
Stay Safe.
Stay Beautiful.
