Vintage fair.

Hi guys, I'm giving up on attempting to find 'hello's' that don't sound to cringy. I went to this really cute vintage fair/festival thing today. You can stay over for 2 nights but we just went for the day and it was actually awesome. Vintage clothes,makeup, motorbikes ect. I was in heaven. Everyone was wearing bandanas and red lipstick (excluding the men lol). I bought the cutest bandana for £2. They also had the best food ever. Though I was in a considerable amount of pain with my brace so I couldn't actually eat anything, but it looked pretty damn good.

Everyone was so lovely and friendly and you can have a lovely chat with the stall owners. Everything seemed reasonably priced also.

Lol hi, that's me. Sunglasses and Jeans are form Topshop and my top is River Island. I also wore a black leather jacket and white converse .

Braces.

Today I got braces. I've had a jaw aligner in for 4 months and I am so so happy to get rid of it. I have train tracks in now and I chose the prettiest sky blue colour. If you're getting braces and you're scared please don't be. Although I was never particularly worried about getting braces as I wanted them so much, it can still be quite a scary thing. Clearly having metal and wire glued into your mouth isn't the most natural thing in the world. 

In-case you were worried about having the brace fitted it is absolutely fine. You firstly talk through what's going to happen. Then some preparations are made in order for the bracket to be fitted. This is like cleaning the teeth, and doesn't hurt at all but it may feel a little sensitive. Then you choose your colour and have it all fitted. It takes around an hour all together. 

I would recommend taking a painkiller, just to stop any little aches and pains. I took the painkiller before I went to the orthodontist which was a good decision. 

This is a crappy quality picture taken with my iPhone. Amazing snapchat commentary also. Oh no, I think they may be dimples..

Personal Makeup.

Many of the teenage girls on here blog about makeup. Which is completely normal but I'm finding it difficult because most of the girls are just starting to discover makeup so they're using small amounts and cheaper brands. This is clearly perfectly fine but I use quite a lot of makeup and have been using makeup for the last three years.Thought I'd share with you my preferred makeup brands and routine.

I don't use makeup to make people like me. I like experimenting ect. I don't feel like I have to wear makeup but I do because it makes me feel good. I feel more confident. You don't have to have a reason to wear makeup. If you want to wear it then wear it.

I wear (In order of what I put on)

Concealer
Foundation Primer
Foundation
Eyeshadow Primer
Smashbox trio colours. I brush the lighter shade all over my eyelid and the darkest the the edge.
Gel Eyeliner.
Mascara.
Eyebrow filler
Eyebrow mascara.
Pressed powder
Bronzer
Lipstain/Lipstick/Chubbystick/Lipbalm.

This creates a natural, matt look. If going out for dinner, I will use less eyeshadow and instead use a red lipstick.

Mind games and Birthdays.

Hey everyone, I never know how to start these blog posts without sounding to cringy. It was my birthday yesterday and I am very, very lucky. I got some awesome stuff and generally had an amazing day. Apart from PE in the rain and an exam that counted towards my GCSE, I had school and then my family went to Chimichangas for a Mexican. It was so good and I ate way to much. Lately I've been talking to this amazing boy and he is the most genuine, kind and attractive boy ever, he really is. Annoying that all of his friends have started texting me though. He's getting pretty annoyed about it, I am to really.

My ex has started playing mind games with me to try and get him to come back.I'm getting texts like 'YOU don't want this', 'YOU don't want to move on', 'YOU still love me'. No, I am pretty sure what I want and that I know myself better than you. It's good because this I've told the boy i'm talking to all about him and his ways. He understood completely. He wasn't even mad when I told him I had kissed him and fallen back into his trap. He asked if I was ok and if I needed anything. I have no idea what I've done to deserve him.

What I'm saying is tell the boy you like everything. Don't have any secrets. Also; don't fall into the traps of your ex. I understand all you want to do is text them because you miss them. That's perfectly normal. I miss him. I'm not going to lie. Sometimes all I want to do is kiss him and for him to tell me we're going to work it out. Don't, if it's over and there's nothing worth fighting for let it go. Find other things to take your mind of it and move on. It gets easier. Don't let him tell you what you should be thinking and what you want. Only you know what you want,

Moving on.

Steps how to forget him and move on:


  1. Delete him/block him. This means he has no way of contacting you and doing that 'thing' he does. Knowing there's no way he can text you will help you. I promise. 
  2. If there's a boy you have your eye on start talking to him. Do not start talking to someone just to help move on. This will not end well. Talking from experience. 
  3. Create a playlist about moving on. Upbeat songs work best. 
  4. Search tumblr for 'over you'. Hundreds of motivating quotes will inspire you. My tumblr is here: MY TUMBLR. I will also put some of my favorite below.
  5. Do not keep any of his stuff. If you have jumpers of his ect, get rid of them. Whenever you see them they will remind you of him. 
  6. Get fit. Do your squats and make him jealous of your HOT ASS. Also going for a run will take your mind of him. It will improve your mood. 
Ps:  Online shopping always helps.



I suddenly realized that the only way to get over you isn’t by pretending that we didn’t happen. You and I loved each other. And then you broke my heart. I’m going to kiss somebody someday. And when I do, it’ll be for me.

"And for the first time in a long time, when i was asked who i miss, the first name that popped into my mind, wasnt yours."

Reasons to get over him:
  1. You deserve better.
  2. He's obviously over you, so you get over him.
  3. He's probably ugly. 
  4. You deserve better.
  5. He's probably ugly.
  6. You're better off without him. 
  7. So you can start waiting for that real someone special.

Rest in peace.

On Wednesday, my beautiful boy got put down. He had a brain tumor which had got worse over the last few days. We bought Pickles 7 years ago when he was a little puppy.  I had grown up with him and he was my best friend. I already miss him so much and it's going to take a long time to get used to not being with him. He was the kindest, most gentle dog. He had such a personality. He was surrounded my family and at home when he passed and was not alone. He had an amazing and extremely spoilt life. I'm happy he's not in pain anymore.

Some advice for the boys.

It's currently 6am and I've been up since 5am and no ones awake yet. Damn it, why do I have to get the early bird gene?

Update on my crush is that he was calling me a bitch and a dick on his Ask.fm account, which is cool it doesn't bother me, no big deal. He then texts me saying he done it to get my attention? Right, okay it just got a little bit more confusing. I'm 99% sure there are many other ways he can get my attention other than being vile to me on social media. He then deleted the answers about me and replaces them about how much he misses me. Right ok?

Why do we live in such a messed up world? Boys, being vile to a girl isn't going to get her to fall madly in love with you.

If you like her; tell her.
If you like him; tell him.

Cactus.

Hi guys, I bought a mini cactus today and it's really kinda cute.
I have two cactus's now and I think an addiction has begun. ahah.


Feminism

For my English essay, we were asked to create a speech about something you're passionate about. Here's mine, some opinions and feedback on it would be amazing.

What is the biggest issue troubling the world right now? One of the most current and well-known issues in the media lately is feminism. It has different meanings to different people. In the dictionary, the meaning is “the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way”. Society has come a long way into achieving equality for the sexes in the last 100 years. The most well-known breakthrough is the votes for women act which was achieved in 1927 as all women over 21 could vote.
However we’re not finished yet. In fact we are far from it. Women earn on average £140,000 less than men over their working careers. We have had a woman in charge of the country as a prime minister but we don’t pay women the same as men? Unsurprising, as globally only 22% of the government are women. 

Many companies are beginning campaigns. For example: Always. The company have begun a #Likeagirl campaign which encourages girls to have more confidence while they’re growing up. A common insult to boys and girls is ‘Like a girl’. For example: ‘You throw like a girl ‘or ‘You run like a girl’. When has doing something ‘like a girl’ become an insult? Who wouldn’t be proud if they could compete in sports like Jessica Ennis, who won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics? I personally, along with many other girls, have been insulted using the term ‘Like a girl’ before.

The label ‘Feminist’ is now often seen as a bad thing. It’s seen as a group of women who hate men and believe they are better than the opposite sex. When in fact, Feminists can be men and women who want genders to be seen as the same; not better and not worse off than each other. When  women say they are not a feminist they’re saying they don’t believe that women should be treated the same as men, that they should not be paid the same amount of money as men or that they’re unable to do the same jobs as men. When in fact: they are. Many women start beginning to receive negative comments about their sex at an early age in life.

Gender inequality also affects young girls just as much. The right to an education is a basic human right yet 65million girls are not allowed the chance, purely because they are girls. Many of the most influential humans alive are women. How do we know that one of the 65million girls doesn’t have the potential to find a cure for cancer or an end to hunger? Girls need a chance at education, why are they being denied it purely because they are a girl?
                                                                                                                               
When gender equality is achieved the world will be a better place. There will be more chances to fight vaccinations for diseases. There will be more doctors, nurses and scientists. There will be a better, brighter future.

So what are we waiting for?
Let’s end gender inequality and be a greater world.
You can help.

Thankyou.

Self doubt & Confidence.

Hi guys, basically I was in PE today and I came second in the 200m sprint, which is amazing considering it's a rare occasion me taking part in PE. My teacher said something that made me think:

" I think you put yourself down to much. You say you cannot do something but you've just achieved something. If you just thought better of yourself you can do great things."

I was almost in tears at how far me and my teacher have come in like a couple months. Haha, I refused to do rugby the other month so he phoned my mum. She had a massive go because I didn't wanna do it, anyway I broke my finger by doing rugby that day and me and my teacher didn't speak for like 3 weeks haha. It's nice to have someone give you confidence like that.

I need to stop putting myself down so much in that aspect. I'm more confident because I've stopped putting myself down about my looks and my body. I need to stop putting myself down about my physical ability.

You don't just cure your self doubt in one day. Take it one step at a time. Compliment something about yourself everyday and your attitude to life will improve. You will become happier, I promise.
