Fall Favourites Tag!❤

Back with another tag!

It's now Autumn (Fall for all you Americans) and I thought what better time to celebrate the fact that its nearly Christmas than a Fall Favorites Tag!! Lets get started!

1. Fav Fall Candle...

Okay. I have been using this candle for the last few days and it smells amazing. It gets me excited for Christmas around the corner and I just love it.
Its "Lavender Spa" from Tesco so it's definitely a bargain buy. Not sure how much it was as it was a gift but I will put a link to it here.

2. Fav Lip Colour

 

I love a good red lip. It isn't part of my everyday makeup routine but this year will definitely be an exception. Its Rimmel No.01 Red Nose Red... which makes it sound Christmasy (which also gets me excited).

3. Favorite Drink

 

As its coming into colder months, I absolutely love Hot Chocolates with mini marshmallows and whipped cream. Its definitely a "winter warmer"!

4. Favorite Blush

 

I use the same one all year round so its not really a fall favourite. Its by Collection 2000 and Im not sure what the shade is but its a simple shade that can be built up to your preference.

 

 

5. Favorite clothing item

This is definitely my favourite. Its so fluffy and warm... oh I just love it.
Its originally from New Look but I got it from British Heart Foundation 2 years ago when I volunteered there. It was only £8.99 with my staff discount and I just wear it all the time. Its white so it goes with anything.

 

6. Favorite Fall Movie

 

Its not exactly a 'fall' movie but its close enough. Elf is my favourite film. I absolutely love it. I watch it every year and it just gets me in the mood.

 

7. Favourite Fall TV Show

 

I am so sad that this isn't on anymore. Waterloo Road used to be my go-to programme to watch in the fall. I still watch repeats and its still my favourite thing to watch.

 

8. Favourite Halloween Costume

 

I don't really dress up for Halloween so I cant really answer it but when I was little I would get dressed up as a witch nearly every year with a bin bag thrown over me and a witches hat. Those were the days!!

 

 

I hope you liked this tag post. Ill be doing the Whats in my room tag too. So look out for that on Saturday on my other blog which you can find by clicking here.

A-Levels Results Day!!👌🏻

I just want to say a massive congratulations to all who have got into their choice of university!! You should be so proud!

I didn't do a levels, I went to college instead to study Childcare and IT. 

I'm sorry if you didn't get the grades you hoped for. If you are one of the ones who didn't get the grades, there are many other options you can look at. 

You can go to college and still study your chosen subject and still get qualified! Not only that the fees are a lot less than at university!

I went to Tresham which is in Northamptonshire. They have campuses in Kettering, Corby and they are currently building a new state of the art campus for Wellingborough! So even if you don't live near here, you can still study! 

Want to know more about Tresham and what they offer?

You can call on 08456588990 and tell them that I sent you :)

Congratulations to those who did make it! Tresham also offer a university centre where you can still go to do your degree and you don't have to worry about moving away!! :)

To find out more about Tresham, you can visit their website at www.tresham.ac.uk! :) 

See you on Saturday for my next blog!

Also I'm going to start doings YouTube vlogs and I'm trying to get equipment together so I can film and edit them :)

#NationalPinkDay

To celebrate one of the BEST days ever. I am going to attempt some photography... lets see how this goes.

I have collected a range of items that were in my room and the color pink. So... 

Here they are. Pink is definitely my favorite color. 

Just Pink by Next is incredible. I love the summery floral smell. 

This bag actually belongs to my housemate so I will not be featuring this again as it's going to be given to her. 

I have had this purse since last March when I was working. I popped into Peacocks to see if I could get a new purse as mine was broken. Baring in mind I used to work at the Peacocks I went into. My old manager had said that I looked suspicious, and asked what I was looking for. I replied with 'a purse that's pink' but couldn't find one. Until he basically did the 'game show' hands and showed me this one. I just looked at him as if to say I was just about to walk out of the shop feeling good about not spending... until that point. I paid £8 for it and it is worth every penny. 

Something very different. But still PINK.

I moved out of my Mum's house in February last year (2014) and I had literally no clue about using the washing machine nor the tumble dryer. So I got these to make it easier. Just pop your washing in, pop one of these in (or 2), press start and Bob is definitely you're Uncle.

I'll see all you beautiful people on Saturday when I will be posting my OOTW.

Happy National Pink Day EVERYONE!!! 💋

1 Pair of Sandals - 2 ways

Hey Beauties, 


I am so unorganised this week which will be explained in Sunday's main blog post as I reflect on my week. As a result of this, this one is scheduled. Enjoy!

Do you know when you do a thorough clean of your room (which for me is very rare), you find lots of things hidden in the back of your wardrobe. 
I used to constantly get blisters from these sandals but I still love them. They are from New Look and I got them from my cousin more than two years ago. 

Here's what I would wear them with. 

A pair of sandals, a short sleeved blouse and some denim shorts. You really can't go wrong. 

I love a short cut in getting dressed. The go-to dress I am constantly wearing is this one from Primark. It's so soft and it's been my wardrobe staple for over a year. I just love it. When it's a little chilly I throw on a light woolly cardigan and I'm good to go.

I really hope you liked this blog post. Be sure to follow me on Google+ and click like on my Facebook page. 

I post every Tuesday and Saturday on here at 12pm GMT.

I also have a main blog which I put up new posts every Thursday and Sunday at 12pm GMT.

Life as a Recovering Alcoholic!❤

I'm not proud to have been an alcoholic and I'm not making excuses for it, this is purely to show people who are going through the same struggles and have turned or thinking of turning to drink as a result that recovery is possible with or without treatment.

My story begins in July 2013. I had an unexpected visit from one of my older Brothers. He came up to my room, sat me down and told me that my Dad had suffered a pretty bad stroke. This was when it all started. I just couldn't handle the emotions I was feeling and the fact that I may never see my Dad again. Boy was I wrong?! He had suffered a bad stroke but was able to stay strong throughout it all. 
He had a Police escort from Margate Hospital in Kent to Kings College in London and on the way we very nearly lost him. I had to accept that he may never fully recover and that he may not remember my name or who I am which was heartbreaking but I had to prepare myself. 
I found a bottle of wine in the cupboard and took it upstairs with me. I just remember staring at the bottle questioning why I was about to drown my emotions and pain in alcohol, but once I took the first sip... there was no stopping me. I had at least 10 large glasses of Lambrini and was so drunk. The hangover was definitely the worst part. I couldn't even sit up on my bed. It was definitely punishing me for what I had done the night before.

After that it became a habit to just drown out my emotions and my thoughts with alcohol, I would drink multiple bottles a week. I would get paid and just buy alcohol and keep it in my room then while everyone sleeps I just drink myself into paranoia and just block everything out.

ALCOHOL IS NOT THE ANSWER!!

Thinking back now. It wasn't the only option, it was the easy option. Everyone has their ways of dealing with different things. It's natural to do this but please don't think that alcohol is the answer or drugs are the answer, they aren't the only options. 
I am not proud of becoming an alcoholic but without help I became the person I am today, the person who can sit in a pub without ordering shots or a large glass of wine, the person who can hold someone else's alcoholic drink without taking a sip or two. I am who I am. I don't regret turning to drink, as it did help drown the pain but I didn't think of the bigger picture. I've spent more than £100 on alcohol alone. I didn't even realise. I starved myself just so I could have enough to buy that bottle of alcohol to calm me down. I was an absolute mess, although I didn't realise at the time. 


I will leave some links below if you are going through the same or know someone who drinks heavily to drown out the pain too. 

To go to the contact page for Samaritans... please click here. 
To go to the NHS Website for Alcohol Misuse... please click here.

If you are worried about someone else please be there for them... it's just like mental health... you feel so alone struggling with the pain. 

Whatever you or someone you know is going through... please stay strong. I'm not going to say it gets easier but with the right help... you too will be on the road to recovery. 

Thank You.
