May has been a bad month I won't lie, but that doesn't mean I haven't had things that I've loved


Beauty / Skincare :

This month it HAS to be

Lasting Finish Lipstick in 128 (Starry-Eyed) - Rimmel

I'm starting to become slightly obsessed with lipstick, I'll even wear it on days where I'm just in college for like 2 hours, this one is a dark plum colour and it makes me feel so confident


This is me and my friend Izzi, I'm wearing the lipstick in this photo even though its not the best quality so you can't really see the colour but never mind!

Music :

I can't pick a single album this week because I haven't found an album that I've listened to over and over so I'm going to do 3 songs I've been obsessed with

1. I Really Like You - Carly Rae Jepsen


Another catchy one, I don't know most of the words to this one but I pretend I do, I blame this obsession on Natalie...

3. Novels - Rusty Clanton



This song is so beautiful and makes me cry every time. I love his version with doddleoddle too (possibly more than the original)

Other Songs I've Loved :

1. I Wont Mind - Lewis Watson (Cover)
2. Adored By Him - Dodie Clark
3. Pas De Deux - Dodie Clark


TV Show :

For some reason I've really got in to crime shows? Like reality one's not like soap operas. My favourite HAS to be

20/20 




I just find it so interesting?! I don't even know why. Some of them are really grim but I love it!


Photo :

I have a few from this month, two a bit silly and one more serious

1. Izzi and Beth vs The Party Popper 



This was taken at my friend Beth's (who's on the left) 18th birthday party. They wanted a photo and I was like 'I'll pop a party popper over you when you take it!' (we were a bit drunk) so I did and it scared the living daylights out of both of them. Izzi's face is the best.

2. #Ian'sAngels
This was also taken at Beth's 18th Party. This is (from left to right) Marisha, Saskia, Me and Izzi in the little photo booth they had there. These three girls (and Beth) have gotten me through English with smiles, laughter and lots of love. It's the most unexpected friendship I've had this year. I don't think I realised how close we were until we were all shoved in to a room full of people we didn't know but it didn't even matter. They are three of the loveliest girls and I will miss them so much.

3. Absent Family



Unfortunately, this month saw the passing away of my Nan. She was a huge part of my life and even though we argued and the past two years have been the hardest of my life, there was never any doubt in my mind that I loved her and she loved me. From left to right this is; My Nan, Mum, Auntie Lyn and Poppa. My Nan, Auntie Lyn and Poppa have all passed away now and they were three of the most influential people in my life. Poppa and Lyn, I hope I have made you proud and Nan, I hope I can make you proud from now on. Love you always.

What's Exciting About Next Month?

Next month is when I do my A-Levels and it will be so stressful. However, just before that I'm going to Birmingham to see 5SOS on the 5th and I'm MEETING SPRINKLE OF GLITTER ON THE 7TH?!. Also Natalie comes home 3rd July which I'm counting as June because its 3 days after it so...but i've missed her

Not quite sure how all of this works but I've been wanting to start a blog for months and now I have a laptop it's much easier!

Thinking about how fast 2014 went scares me. I remember celebrating my 17th birthday in January and thinking I was getting old and I remember trying to choose which Universities I wanted to go to. Not to mention Christmas which flew by ridiculously fast, I'm not even sure it happened! However, whether I want to believe it or not, it's 2015.

2015 will be a big year for me for loads of different reasons, but possibly the most terrifying one is the fact I will *hopefully* be going to University. The thought of leaving home for a few years is possibly the single most terrifying thought in the world. I am not an independent human being, I rely on other people a lot and I probably take my home comforts for granted much more than I should. I'm also unbelievably lazy, if I can find any way to get out of doing exercise then I'll do it. Despite all these things I'm still looking forward to meeting new people and if everything goes well then I'll be going back to where I grew up, Liverpool.

Not only do I go to University this year but I also turn 18. Growing up used to scare me because I just had this image that when I turned 18, I would just turn into an adult and would suddenly be really boring and dull. That was until I met my best friend Natalie a few years ago. Nat's 19 now and I never even think about the fact that there's nearly two years between us because she's exactly the same as me.

2014 wasn't the best year for me, I spent quite a lot of it very unhappy but there were definitely good moments!

And so, even though 2014 wasn't a bundle of laughs from start to finish I am so glad it happened because it taught me to outgrow toxic friends, smile more and be thankful I have the friends that I've wound up with. On that happier note I'll leave you with some of my favourite moments from 2014!

Thank you for reading!
