Wonder Day: Saturday: A Bit Of A Catch Up

Long time no blog so I thought we'd have a caught up, so pop the kettle on and prepare yourself for a brain explosion ;) 

Uni Fair

• Year 12 (that would include yours truly) when on a trip to Hull university for an open day type of thing and a Uni fair. I'm not going to lie, it sounded pretty boring and I thought it was pretty useless to me as I'm not entirely sure I'm going to uni in favour of going to a police training school. Also finding a Uni that has a Policing course is like trying to find a black cat in a coal cellar. The struggles are real. Anywho, as I was walking around the fair I was pretty convinced that the Navy stand would be the only one to hold and interest or usefulness as that's plan B. oh I was wrong. I was the wonderful and best kind of wrong. After my friends had finished talking to this women at the Canterbury table the women asked me what I wanted to do, which first off made me jump because I'd been day dreaming and wasn't prepared for human interaction. I lazily told her I wanted to be a police officer and she just went "yes we do that" and pointed to the board behind her where it said "policing". My face light up to say the least. The more I found out about it, the happier got! It's a medieval city (I'm obsessed with knights and swords and stuff), It's a beautiful location, it's far away (adventure is out there!), it has a boxing gym, an of course it does my course!! woo hoo! When school starts again in September my big sister said she'd take me down to see it as she lives in London, it can't wait! :)

Tv, Books & Media

• Game of Thrones season 5 has been and gone and it was fabulous as always but the day after episode 10 I cried at school in my law lesson (you'll know why if you've seen it) and it was embarrassing and my bestfriend couldn't stop laughing at me haha.

• Teen wolf season five has started and I'm yet to catch up as there are 4 or 5 episodes out and I've only watched 2.. so yeah. It seems good so far although I'm struggling to remember some stuff from the previous seasons but boy I've missed it!

• I also recently got Netflix which I'm now obsessed with and I'm currently on season 3 of Orange is the new black which I'm also enjoying.

• Currently reading: Heir of Fire, Pawn of prophecy and Off to Neverland

• Instagram- I'm getting back into drawing more and instagram more, both my art account and personal.  One of my art goals this year was to be more creative and not just replicate a picture and I think I'm finally starting to do that and I have a lot of original ideas that I just need to find time to create :)

• I've also become a little obsessed with an app called depop which is like ebay in instagram form but I'll talk more about that in a later post.

School and work

• I've broken up from school now for 7 whole weeks but I still need to finish my law course work... oops. Also I'm most likely going to working just about everyday thought the holiday so it's not really going to be much of a holiday which sucks but at least I'll be rich.. until winter that is haha.

Clubs

• Boxing-  I've been enjoying boxing a lot more lately and finally decided that i do want to fight competitively but I have to wait to get my braces off :( I've bee putting thought and time into my fitness and I do believe I'm improving :) I also starting dating one of the boxers there which I never thought would happen but he;'s super great and I'm super happy :D Any who, I think I might do a "what's in my gym bag" and "workout inspiration/ tips and advice" kind of posts soon. 
•  Sea Cadets- Unfortunately the Navy section in CCF shut down at my school so I had to move into the army section which is all good and dandy but it isn't me. I'm Navy to the bones so when I was told that Ma'am was reopening the Navy section in town but as a sea cadets unit I was the first to sign up, literally! I really love it too, it's even better then the Navvy section used to be because we're not ran by school so we get to do a lot more like sailing an stuff. We are also joint to another cadet unit who we go sailing with an everyone there is so nice and involve us as if we'd known each other forever, it's great! 

 Room

• I finally painted my room with help from my mum and I'm starting to fix it you so stay tuned for Room posts!

 Fashion

• Last thing, at the beginning of the year I said I wanted to discover my fashion style and myself in general and I'm happy to say I've done that or at least more so. Again I'll probably do a separate post on this.  

 Okay well I started writing this donkeys years ago and just got around to finishing it! It wasn't as long as I thought It'd be either. I've really missed blogging but I'm getting back into it, I just need more hours in the day and less work!

Whale, that's all for now,

Thank for reading and I hope you enjoyed ^,^

Have a super fantastic day!

Wonder Day: Saturday: A Bit Of A Catch Up

Wonder Day: Friday

 

 I wanted to do an actual post but I haven't got any photos prepared .. and I don't really know what to blog about.. but yeah, it's Friday so I'll let myself off and instead just kind of pour my sleep deprived thoughts into this post :)

• School is killing me. Hard. I always seem to have billions of assignments and homework and coursework and other boring thinks due in and I'm always two steps behind where I should be with things... I put the Pro in Procrastinate.  

• My best friend is the only reason I haven't died in maths yet because she's hilarious!

• I think I might make a revision/study post about good tips and advice and stuff because I have my mock A-level exams after Easter so it will hopefully put me in the spirit as well as hopefully help you. I also want to a fitness motivation/tips post as I could do with improving my fitness in order to recover from the lack of boxing training I did the majority of last year due to work and exams and then Christmas so I need to get on top of that, but I think I could help in some way as a I'm quite an active person :)

•  Tomorrow my plans are to: 

1.  Get paint-  I'm redoing my room as soon as it's warmer.. so stay tuned for roomspiration and decor posts ;)
2. Plan post and take blog photos in bulk- This will most likely consist of a lot of colourful lists
3. Practise/play around with photography- Aiming to be more tumblr ;) Inspired by a reading account I saw on instagram, how she put together photos where so cute and eye catching. I think it's instagram.com/_halfbl00dprincess ..yeah it is.
4. BLOG. DRAW. READ. REPEAT
5. Maybe homework.. ew

•  I'm currently sweating as my younger sister just taught my big sister and me a dance to Uptown Funk (she's an amazing dancer.. yet she wants to be an actress..) the dance is awesome! I can wait till the next party I go to!!

• Lent started like a week ago and I gave up chocolate, like I done for just about every year since year 5 or 6 (or some time in junior school). So no more mini eggs for a while :'( I honestly don't know how I can go on much longer without in my life!

•  On that note, I also finished all four seasons of teen wolf and season five doesn't come out until summer! Ugh!  

• I'm so ready for spring, speaking of which, have you see the Frozen fever trailer? I don't care if it's overrated, I'm excited!

• I hope I actually get stuff done this weekend so it won't drag on, so then I'll have more blogging time 

• Currently reading: Throne of glass (finally got time to read it, I'm nearly 3/4 of the way through and it's so good!)

And..... I think that's everything bobbing at the top of my mind, well at least all the ones I csan put into words easily.

Thanks for reading!

Hope you enjoyed  ^.^

What's on your mind?

Hope you're having a super fantastic day!

Wonder Day: Friday

Wonder Day: Wednesday

Nothing interesting happened today but I just felt like blogging so here's a super short summary :)
..

• Wednesdays are usually my lazy day at school because all I have is double PE second and third period and after that I can go home. Today wasn't that case, I didn't even have PE because my lessons were cancelled, instead I had to catch up on some maths homework I'd missed from last week. It took me FOUR hours and I haven't even finished!.. which now I think about it is quite embarrassing.. haha

• I've had this eye infection called a "sty" all week (which in my opinion is the ugliest word ever) and it's been SO painful. It's also meant I can't wear makeup which I honestly wouldn't care about if I weren't trying to get better at it, it's like trying to get better a drawing with no paper or trying to do magic with out a wand..

• I started watching Teen wolf on Saturday night and was going for "I'll watch 2 a day" kind of plan but that plan started to go down hill quickly as it's been five days and I've watched 18 episodes.. that's not too bad but I've not finished my daily does yet ;) I love the show so far, I don't know if it's because of the supernaturals or the hot teenagers but I love it! and I totally have a crush on Scott *fans face all girly-like*

• I'm currently polishing my army boots. I HATE polishing my boots.. no matter how long I spend on them you can never tell I've even attempted to polish them! I'm  tempted to cheat and use quick shine muhaha ;)

• Ive been loving my Barry M chai nail polish but I'm going to have to take it off for tomorrow *sigh* I'll defiantly be repainting them of Friday!

•  Hmm.. what else has been happening lately..

• I'm still addicted to mini eggs and now my dad keeps bringing me them XD

• Ooh! and My chummy started a blog today! (WOO!) So give her some love here :D 

• I realise while typing this that I appear to be in some kind of uninspired slump (BOO) ..  maybe it's because I'm tired or because is January or maybe it's because I have so many things I have to do and so many things I want to do but not enough time that I'm actually malfunctioning.. aha I don't know what it is but I DON'T LIKE IT! I would much appreciate it if I returned to my usual overly happy self

• My dog just randomly started licking my toes.. haha okay?

• Currently reading: Throne of glass

Okay whale that's pretty much what's on my mind, sorry if it's boring or depressing it's be a "meh" week aha

I'm probably gonna watch some more Teen wolf now ;)

Hope you enjoyed reading ^.^

Tell me about your day in the comments

Have a super fantastic day!

Wonder Day: Wednesday

Mini Makeup and More Haul

 On Monday I popped into town on my may home from school and went into Superdrug. I originally went in there to pick up a real techniques miracle makeup sponge that I've heard so much about but when I got there, there was none left! *sign* But did I leave empty hand? well no -probably should of- but no, no I did not. :3

First of all I'll get the boring (but useful) thing out of the way which wasn't from Superdrug. My mum picked me up a diary which I asked her for so I can keep track of my blog posts and when I post them and all.. this is going to be very useful I'm sure, for blogging as well as other stuff that I need to do on certain days. I prefer to hand write notes rather then type them, probably because I have an obsession with stationary (especially notebooks) so I use very opportunity to use

them!

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher Rose D'Or 34 Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher Rose D'Or 34 

(£7.99)

When I was browsing the Bourjois stand I came came across this magical looking blush and it was so pretty that I couldn't just leave it there. It's a gorgeous shimmery pink colour which is a statement I thought I'd never make, I usually hate pink. But when it's this magical looking how could I resist? I put it on my cheeks early and I can tell you that I doesn't look as shimmery on as it does in the pot, instead it gives you natural and very girly looking Rosy cheeks. I'd also like to point out how neat the container thing is, it's very solid (which I found out the hard way by dropping on the for in the middle of one of the isles and then having to chase after it as I rolled away /).<) You also have to push a button to open it which is handy if you put it in your bag as it's not likely to go everywhere and give you super pretty maths homework (or whatever you have in your bag). I don't think the price is too bad either and when I got to the till, because I bought another £7.99 product from Bourjois I got about £4 off which was a pleasant surprise!

Bourjois Smoky Eyes Trio Eyeshadow Nude Ingenu 4 

 (£7.99)

 Next Thing I picked up was one of the Bourjois Smoky eyes trio.. Pallets? I don't really own any eyeshadow and since I'm quite new at makeup I thought I'd go for neutral colours and a trio will be easier to learn with as they're designed to go with each other. They are all quite shimmer so I'm sure about how subtle they'll be on, but subtlety has never been my my thing plus I'm sure they'll give me super sassy smoky eyes ;) I'm no good at describing colours but I'd say the lighter colour, "the illuminater" is and creamy beige, the middle colour, "the blender and stretcher" is a chocolate bronzey kind of colour which in the light shows hints of gold, and the darkest colour, "the sculptor" is just a darker shade of the middle colour only more brown. :)

 

The struggles of only having 5 fingers available and 6 colours..

Little Mix Eye Love Palette Shade 1 

      (£2.50 in shop)

 I picked up this pallet not even seeing that it was Little Mix, I don't mind though I quite like some of their songs (especially Salute.. that's my jam!) This pallet consists of 6 basic neutral looking colours, all with a bit of shimmer in them but again I'm not fussed. The colours left to right are; Feather, Sunkissed, Golden sand, Dazzling brown, Cocoa dream and Black bird. In my opinion the names match them quite well so I don't need to struggle describing them (whoop!).

          Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Chai

          (£3.99) 

Ooh I just love this colour! I've been wanting a grey nail polish for ages after seeing someones nails on instagram. So when I was going past the Barry M stand my eyes lead me straight to this beauty. It's funny, when I was little I used to hate grey but now I love it! And this is a beautiful shade of it, though I'm not sure why it's called chai.. Not only is it a pretty warm(ish) grey but it's a Barry M Gelly nail polish which is probably my favourite brand of nail polish as they're are very pigmented, come in loads of colours and don't chip very much even on my clumsy days okay that's every day but on my EXTREMELY clumsy days :3 My point being I can go days chip free which is all I need as I have to take my nail polish of on a Wednesday night anyway because I'm not allowed to wear it at CCF (Combined Cadet Force) on Thursdays :( I wonder if I where camouflage nail polish, would they notice? ;) Anyway, I'm looking forward to applying this on Friday!

Okay whale that's all for today..

Hope you enjoyed reading ^.^
