May Aims

So hi...

So er, I'm a little late with this post. BUT I do have a good-ish reason, my Wifi went ka-put at the beginning of the month and I've had no Wifi at my flat for the last few days, it’s been weird and all kinds of boring yet productive at the same time. But my FOMO was definitely through the roof which really sucked. ANYWAY, New month new goals, kinda. Let’s get on with it.

Eat well and Exercise: So I mentioned going to the gym with my flatmate before, and well it just hasn’t been happening, so that was a fail. I'm starting to think I might brave going alone, as I'm often awake in the middle of the night these days and a little gym visit may do me good to tire me out enough to sleep and get some exercise in. Don’t get me wrong I have been exercising, but not nearly as much as I’d like.

Revise fortnightly if not daily: As much as I would like to believe in myself to revise daily, I'm being realistic with myself to know that probably won’t happen. But I think I could definitely get myself to revise at least every other day. Exams for my second year at Uni are literally round the corner and I need to get my butt in gear.

Listen or read the morning news: I really made the efforts to read and listen to the news more often a few months back, but I have kind of fallen out of the habit and I’d like to get back into it, It’s nice to just know what’s going on in the world and it’s interesting to.

Continue Streaming: So I've been live streaming on a site called twitch. I'm planning a separate post to really explain it but it’s been a ton of fun. The community and friendships I've built on twitch have been amazing and I enjoy streaming so much. Even if I'm just a little bit rubbish at it. I mean I can only go up right?

Continuing learning and developing my art: I've really been pushing my art out in April, a cause of this has definitely been the live streaming but I feel like I'm getting more ideas and itching to draw more often and it’s amazing to look back at pieces and already feel myself progressing. I'm also learning more and more about how to get the most out of Paint Tool SAI, which has really effected the quality of my art as well. I'm looking forward to keeping up this productive streak.

Experiment with my make-up: As I mentioned in my April round up, I've really fell in love with make up again, I was starting to get really lazy with my make-up. I just felt that my make-up looked a little rubbish no matter what I did, and it felt a little pointless putting it on. It may have been due to buying some new make-up, or that I had randomly decided to look through my stash and try on some older products. But either way I'm loving doing my make-up and trying out different colours and looks out. I want to keep up with this re-found passion.

Embrace life and Opportunities: when I went to Ireland and travelled alone by plane for the first time, I had planned to write a post about travelling alone and making the most of life, but never got around to it funnily enough, though I'm still planning to do that type of post. But either way I want to push myself more, to try and make the most of each day, to do something each day that I can look back on at the end of the day and say ‘Go me’. I just feel more and more that I'm never getting any younger, and why delay plans that I could be making now?

And those are all my Aims for May, quite a variety I think, and all pretty doable aims I think. The only thing that’d stop me achieving them are my number one enemies, Laziness and lack of motivation, though my motivation has been great… So it’s more just my never ending laziness.

The Monthly Round Up: April

So Hi...

A little late with this post as my internet got ruined by a bin fire at the bottom of my building that burnt from the internet cables, I'm actually writing this at Costa, it's strange.

April was a pretty quiet month for me, Uni was finished in the first week or so, and I had not that many plans to actually go out. So a lot of my month was spent inside. However I did enjoy the month amazingly. I streamed a lot on twitch and I rediscovered my love for make-up which was dying out a little. This relit fire also meant a new passion for my blog, with a load more ideas for post series and general plans for the May and the summer months.

Although there was not many photos to share because I can only spam you guys with my selfies oh so much. April was an amazing month. I have a few plans and ambitions from the month that I’ll be revealing through their own blog posts but I've never felt more accepted. And I've never wanted to travel somewhere so much as I do right now. I kept up my crack down of not drinking for a whole month, which I'm proud of myself for as I had a few times where I could have broken it.

I was rather bad with attending the GYM however, but that's to be added onto my May aims post!

How was your April? hopefully a little more busy than mine!

Sunglasses Galore

So hi...

Although it doesn't really feel like it when you look outside the window, summer is fast approaching. As such I decided to dig out my sunglasses with the hopes that it would encourage the sun to make a few appearances. After digging them all out I realised, damn. I have a fair few pairs of sunglasses, which you know, I'm willing to show off to you all. I'm pretty sure they were all mostly from Primark and under like £2/3 but they do the job and I like them.

These 5 are the actual proper pairs that I own. I also have 3 pairs of bright blue glasses that I've acquired from my student union but I don't really feel like I'll be wearing them casually. Sorry BCUSU. All of these were primark except the purple pair which I actually bought in spain last year as I had forgot to take some with me. The white and pick pairs are also pretty new and unused an I had gotten them at the end of  summer last year and so I didn't actually get a chance to wear them all that much. My favourite pair are just the normal black pair, because I'm boring and they are the old faithful pair that can go with any outfit.
I like to think I have a pair of sunglasses to suit any mood or outfit I might fancy in summer.
Do you own more than 1 or 2 pairs of sunglasses?

My Dream Festival.

So hi...

I love music. Music to me is just so essential to my life and I absolutely love the adrenaline and feel of experiencing Live music at festivals and gigs. It's an amazing experience and man oh man if I could afford it I'd probably go to some form of gig or festival weekly. It's also coming up to Festival season with summer quickly approaching and the people over at TickPick contacted me and asked me a super interesting question. What would be my ideal festival?
They asked me to think about who I would have if I could set up my own little Coachella, cleverly name 'Faux-chella' What would be my perfect music festival?

Now I listen to a hell of a lot of music, I'm definitely a person that needs some form of sound around me al the time, and I don't tend to stick to one type of music genre, it changes nearly daily. As such trying to decide on only a few select artists who I would have to all in one place if I could was actually really difficult. I kept trying to think who I would be sad if I couldn't see, or who I've loved for a long time vs people that I'm only loving recently.
Once I had decided on my chosen performers, the kind people made this cool little personalised poster for My own 'It's all about the little things Festival'
Ain't it pretty.

Now let's discuss my choices a little. I thought long and hard about this to cover all the music I'd want to hear.
Bring me the horizon- These guys fall into what I would say is my 'main' genra of music that I commonly listen to. I actually saw them back in november and out of the decent amount of gigs I've been too it was by far the best experience. The overall atmosphere and vibe was phenomonal and there's just something about that sort of surrounding that makes me feel so alive. So I'd always be happy to bee them again.

Panic at the disco- P!ATD is just P!ATD. How do I even explain these guys. They covered my overdramatic teen angst with the tunes 'I write sins not tradgies' and 'Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off' and still right all the right buttons now with the new album Death of a bachelor. Even if it's only brendan now I still adore them. fun fact: I'll be seeing them at Slam Dunk in May, I'm excited.

Hasley: This is one of the newer ones. Well, not a new one completely but I'm currently obsessed with the album Badlands. I actually knew a fair few Hasley songs, just never knew they were hasley songs? you know when that weird sort of thing happens, well yeah. Now that I know I can't stop listening to her and I feel like watching and singing every lyric would be great.

I prevail: Probably one of the smaller editions to this list but I actually discovered these guys through the Cover they did of Taylor swifts 'Blank Space' and instantly fell in love, They just do good tunes. and the clean vocals are god damn amazing. I think they would be an amazing live performance.

Ninja Sex Party: Now if you haven't heard these guys before, you may be slightly worried when looking at this name but I swear these guys are an amazing comedy band. It's made up of two people, Danny Sexbang and Ninja Brian. I'd say you should listen to their Take on me Cover. and then everything else because they do amazing catchy dance tunes.

Arctic Monkeys: This is another hard to explain one. I mean, it's Arctic Monkeys. They do all the good music. and I've missed so many opportunities to see them as well that I'm really just dying to. I've always loved them.

Lana Del Rey: This is another old favourite. Lana has such a memorising voice and makes me want to experience that typical 'american dream' summer. So cool, so effortless.

Fall Out Boy: when the hiatus happened, I won't lie. I got a little teary. Fall out boy are kind of in the same boat as P!ATD for me in that I adore both their old and new music and it would pretty much fufill my Teenage dreams to watch them before. I won't lie, I was a fan of Pete.

Melanie Martinez: Another case similar to hasley in that I had stumbled across a load of her songs but not known they were all by the same person or that it was Melanie. She songs and music makes me feel like I'm super cool and sassy and really, that's all I want in life.

Marina and the Diamonds: Last but not least to be added to my Dream festival is this empowering queen. Marina has style, an amazing voice, strong as hell songs like 'How to be a heart breaker' and she's just a queen. why wouldn't I want to see her strut her stuff.

And that would be my line up. This was a super cool concept to think about and write up. thanks to TickPick for giving me the question and making a cute little poster for me!
You can head over to Tickpick for Concert tickets, NFL tickets and more!
Getting festival tickets can be a pain in the butt sometimes, so it's always nice to have a place you know you can go to.
TickPick describes themselves as:
TickPick is a no-fee ticket marketplace that is changing the industry. We're growing rapidly thanks to cheaper prices and an amazing buyer experience. 
and you can find them at: TickPick.com 
What would your ideal Faux-chella festival be?

Superdrug Beauty Haul

So hi...

So I've been in major need of a few make-up bits for a while now but have just kept putting off visiting superdrug to buy some due to wanting to save money or just not having the time or just straight up laziness. But my concealer was basically empty and I was dying for some new bits. SO I went and made a little order on Superdrug, and may have picked up a few more things than I had planned to.... Whoops.

So my original plan was that I wanted a new concealer, Preferably collections lasting perfection one as it was always out of stock when I had gone in store the last few visits so I thought as an online order I had to get it. I had also planned to pick up a blending sponge as I've never tried them and lastly on my list was to browse a new foundation to try. I've been getting bored of my current one and wanted to try something new. but I ended up getting those things and a few extras. by accident of course.

Makeup Revolution:Antibacterial Brush Cleaner.
This was the first addition to my basket. I'm super bad with washing my brushes, it's probably the chore I hate most when it comes to make-up, so when I saw this I was immediately interested in the potential of a way to make cleaning my make-up brushes easier. I'm actually looking forward to cleaning my brushes just to try this baby out. yay to being lazy!

Makeup Revolution: Fortune favours the brave palette.
I'm a sucker for pretty looking packages and make up, this one is definitely a because it looked super pretty purchases. I've actually been really feeling trying out different eye shadow combinations and stuff recently as well and these colours are so damn gorgeous.

Makeup Revolution: Ultra Sculpt & Blend Brush Collection.
As I mentioned before, I was looking to get a blending sponge, and I noticed this little set and thought I could do with some new brushes as well. It's like a perfect little set for the whole face!

Wake Me Up Foundation: in Light Porcelain.
Now I actually have this foundation already, but it was in the wrong shade, way too dark. I actually quite liked the formula of it, so I thought I would try it again in my actual shade.

MUA Luxe Strobe & Glow Highlight kit.
A bit of an unsure purchase here, just to encourage myself to use highlight more, the look of this product is also super nice.

MUA eyebrow pen: in blonde.
I'm not actually that big when it comes to eyebrows, I only got mine plucked at the end of last year for the first time, I just never had ant issues with my eyebrows, I think they are alright, or I did. I've now started wanting to tame and shape my brows a little more, so an eyebrow pencil would be good.

MUA Hide and conceal Concealer: in Fair.
This is more a re-buy, I've been using this while I haven't been able to get hold of collection lasting perfection concealer, It's a good'un and conceals all my face nasties well.

MUA cover and conceal wand: in Fair.
Another concealer, I went a little crazy I know. This is just another one to try out, It was pretty cheap and it doesn't hurt to try out new things right?

Collection lasting perfection concealer: in fair.
And here it is. My favourite concealer, following a common trend among bloggers, but I really can't help it. It's a damn good product that does it's job well, what can I say.

Collection lasting colour lipstick: in fig delight.
Because if anything I definitely needed more red/cherry toned lipsticks in my life right. OF COURSE. This beaut from collection is a lovely brown toned colour and it makes me feel super sophisticated and classy.

MUA Luxe whipped velvet lips: in Majestic.
Whoops, another actual red colour? well damn. that must have just slipped in there, it would be a shame not to make use of it now right? right.

Rimmel Kate Lipstick Nude collection: In 42.
I've never been a nude lipstick person, I usually stick with reds or dark purple colours, I always think that nudes would just make me look pasty and washed out but I've had a nude pink colour before and thought I would give this nude colour a try, It seems like the perfect pinky brown nude, and actually looks pretty close to my actual lip colour which is cool.

Boohoo Summer wishlist

So hi...

Another wishlist post today! To be honest this is more of a general clothes wishlist than a summer one but hey ho, it is coming up to the summer now so it seemed pretty appropriate. I'm pretty much obsessed with Boohoo, I don't know why but I just find the site the easiest to shop through and I love the clothes on there so ya know.

I'm liking to just window shop at the moment though, also since I really want to change my wardrobe into a capsule wardrobe I'll hopefully not be buying many clothes ever anyway so you know. but that all depends on how well behaved I am.
