30 day drawing challenge.

So hi...

When I was in high school I drew a lot! probably bad as it was during classes or form time, but it meant I got a lot of practice in, and this continued quite a bit into college as well, but I've all but stopped drawing now and it's rather upsetting, I miss it but I just don't know what to draw anymore. So to combat this I decided to gave myself a 30 day challenge. That is to draw daily with themes I've made to inspire me each day.
I'll probably be starting at the beginning of august so it's nicely in time with the month, though I'm also wanting to get started. I'll be posting my daily drawing to DeviantArt Once They are done probably the day after so I can upload it. I have been considering learning digital rt as well as I do own a drawing tablet. Anyway as further motivation for me I've decided to share the themes and this plan with you all as I kinda can't escape it then,
Old drawings One digital one pencil:

30 Day Themes!
Day 1 Myself
Day 2 My friends
Day 3 Scenery
Day 4 Anatomy
Day 5 Flowers
Day 6 Backgrounds
Day 7 Yoko Tattoo (Personal tattoo design)
Day 8 Guardians
Day 9 Fashion
Day 10 Seasons
Day 11 Nights Out
Day 12 Tokyo Ghoul (Anime)
Day 13 Adventure
Day 14 Vocaloid
Day 15 Love
Day 16 Sketches
Day 17 Animals
Day 18 Realistic drawings
Day 19 Colours
Day 20 In the Rain
Day 21 Angels
Day 22 Attention to details
Day 23 Getting fit
Day 24 Demons
Day 25 Summer Memories
Day 26 Intellect
Day 27 Technology
Day 28 Gods
Day 29 My favourite
Day 30 Self Portrait

And those are the different themes I've chosen, I may chose to do these 30 days on page and then once I start feeling more confident with my art and drawing abilities I may do another little 30 day challenge using my tablet.

Do you have any challenges you set yourself to build your confidence in a hobby?

Life's Unexpected smack in the face.

So hi...


You know when you're feeling super motivated about life and you're really getting into your productive groove and enjoying life and then BAM Life comes round and give you a big smack in the face that brings it all to a halt.

Well that's what happened to me Monday night. I've had such an amazing summer and done so much, I'd just gotten my third job and I was ready to balance earning money and making making memories and adventures with my friends.
This was all put to a bit of a stop when I fell off a skateboard Monday night. I was learning to ride and had actually gotten decently good, and then as I went to get off the board which was moving pretty slowly I somehow cause a great amount of pain to my foot. Living by the idea of not seeking help as it's just the way my dads taught me I got my dad to collect me from the park and just sat at home on the sofa, But the pain got worse Tuesday morning, I couldn't walk and my foot was numb and felt like dead weight from the knee down.
Dad got home from work and rushed me to a&e where I found out I had cracked a few bones, and so got a cast put on it. This was a ridiculous downer as it meant I couldn't move or do anything really. Wednesday was a depressing slow day, stuck on the sofa in an empty house with no company and feeling absolutely awful. Thursday Morning I then received a call telling me I needed to come back into hospital as they had found some other issues with the ligaments in my foot.
I rushed in to then end up waiting 3 hours to be seen, once I was I was told the injury was actually a lot worse than first thought and I would need surgery, and even with surgery I was likely to experience arthritis when I was older.
As you can imagine this isn't something a 19 year old like me really wants to hear. But I was admitted to hospital, had another scan and was told I would have the surgery the next morning, and so spent the afternoon stuck in a hospital bed. The night was rough, I couldn't sleep and was woken up often for drips and other things. The at 4am I was told I'd be prepped for surgery, which was a stupidly slow process. I wasn't ready till around 6:30. I then was visited by the doctors, who I expected would tell me about the surgery, but no,  was told that actually I didn't need surgery and the ligament issues I had been called in for were actually fine and would heal naturally. I then had to wait around from 8am till 4pm for staff to discharge me, After being told I was ready to leave at around 12.
And here I am back home writing this post, stressed, annoyed and in a giant foot cast.
I wasted Thursday and Friday being panicked for no reason.

This also meant I couldn't get blog posts sorted or other work things that I need to get done to earn myself a bit of a living, it was so infuriating that so much time and resources where wasted while I was wrongly in hospital.
So I'll be home bound and immobile for about 4 weeks the doctors told me, This is a lot of the 'core' part of summer, which is so upsetting, while my friends are out and enjoying themselves i'm stuck here feeling a little down and unmotivated.
I will at least be able to go out for my birthday still and will have the end of august to enjoy the rest of the Summer but I can't help but feel a little disappointed, Accidents are expected with skating however and that's something I have to deal with.

At the very least I get to boss people around and my friends are lovely enough to come visit me and have a chilled night at mine, so I don't feel to left out!
Jordine even has often to bring me up a Mcdonalds one day the babe.

Have you ever broken a bone that's really effected your motivation and drive?

A week or so in make-up 3#

So hi...

Once again been a while, rather than forgetting to photograph like with the outfits, I've just straight up been not wearing make-up all that much, or not enough to be worthy of photographing. Think I'm finally progressing with my make-up though which makes me happy, let me know if you agree or not?

The Monthly Round Up: June

So hi....


June has been a stupidly busy month for me, which you may have guessed from the severe lack of posting, which although I'm slightly annoyed at myself for I'm still amazingly happy with how my month has gone. It was completely full of going out, catching up with friends, hardly being home and a whole load of working. I've been working 2 jobs (which has just increased to 3) And trying to make the most of seeing friends as some of them were only home for the month of June and have already gone back to uni. So I hope you'll forgive me. June has honestly the best start of Summer I could have ever asked for, comfortably continuing what has been the best year of my life. I'm continuously reassured of my happiness with the closeness of my friendship group and the memories we've made. There's also been a lot of future talk within my friendship group, of how we can see ourselves as friends in the future, and how we would let our kids hang with any of our friends we have now, those talks feel so mature and make me so proud of my group of friends and how responsible we all are to do well in our own lives but still keep our friendships strong. If you didn't know, I have a group of about 10-14 friends who I've been close friends with for about 7 years now.

So yeah June was an amazing month, and although I'll be working my butt off, I hope July will be filled with just as much memories and adventure.

How was your June? did you miss me?

Instagram Healthy Food Diary.

So hi...

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed that I have been posting all my meals lately. This is because I've started to use my instagram page as a way to track what I eat and keep a food diary. Along with this I've also been following weekly meal plans that I found from Weight watchers. I decided to do all this as I've struggled with my weight most my life, or as long as I can remember. When I was born, I was actually 2 months early and so was tiny when I came out. Doctors didn't actually think I would survive and I was kept in the hospital for a while. Because of this panic my parents told me they used to give me a lot of food and things so I would grow normally and okay. Well that worked a little too well, From junior school I was bigger and a little taller than most of the other children. And although everyone shot up in their height and I didn't I still have always been what I consider pretty big. I've tried a number of things before but I never seem to shift.

This has always cause a lot of insecurities for me and although now I don't consider myself to be obese or anything ( I'm size 14 comfortably in 90% of clothing) I'm still, like most people rather unhappy with my body. So I decided to revamp. I've changed a lot of my eating habits already in the past year. I rarely drink anything but water ( and usually have about 5 bottles of water a day) and I don't tend to have processed food as I've gotten into the habit of eating fresher at uni.(minus the odd takeaway)

These still haven't been able to shift the weight I want and so here I am. after that long super personal ramble, Telling the blogging world my plans. This way I feel I'll be much more motivated to keep up to the meal plans I'm following and more motivated to generally improve my fitness and health.
Feel free to follow me on my instagram page. I may start to post my weight loss or gain after another month or so.
I'm hoping to lose around 3 stone of weight. And I think this can be done healthily in around 4-5 months, Let me know your thoughts on that?

I've also lost 8/9lbs within the last 2 weeks already purely due to the fact I got a tongue piercing, making eating solid foods quite difficult, so I didn't eat at all for about 5 days apart from the odd yogurt and soup. As I was still keeping myself busy and active I'm guessing that's the reason for the weight loss but it's a head start I guess?

With any luck I'll be writing an update post to this one with happy news and much slender fingers!

Bit over personal today but is there anything you've struggled with that you want to or have changed?

Blogging everyday in May.

So hi..

I've seen around the interwebs at the beginning of May a few people deciding to blog or vlog (eg: lilly pebbles) everyday for the month of May. Now as someone who only posts 3 times a week on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I've never really considered doing something like this as I worry about ideas and posting just for the sake of posting. HOWEVER, I've been recently been doing really well with pre-planning and organizing on my blog, I've been good with writing my blog, having decent inspiration and keeping shizz scheduled. I had my posts planned for the whole month of may and still had a few ideas for what to do after. So I thought I'd challenge myself to blog everyday for a whole month. I've already been doing this pretty well so far and do have a lot of posts planned for the whole month. I'm also pretty proud with the posts, I don't feel like I've made up posts or random ideas just for the sake of it and they are posts I think will still hold some interest for readers.

So yeah, look forward to a whole bunch of posts from me this month.
Here are links to the posts so far!
May 1st: The Monthly Round Up: April
May 2nd: Summer Wishlist 2015
May 3rd: I Missed this day to due mourning a friend's passing.

Primark Haul!

So hi...


I hope you guys enjoy hauls, This is my second ( after the Superdrug beauty haul here) and I have another one planned for a make-up revolution haul as I went a bit crazy on their site the other day. Anyway for now we're talking Primark, I have to say for a stingy student like me primark is just so good. Of course the quality isn't absolutely amazing but the products do last a fair while when treated kindly and they are so so cheap! so probably about 2 weeks ago me and my flatmates had a little wander around and I came out with £40 well spent.

First of all as a basic necessity I picked up some tights, nice and simple. Next I picked up this gorgeous multi-chain necklace! It's actually so pretty, It's like a statement necklace but at the same time it's so simplistic and cute, and i love the little part at the end of the necklace, It's just all round pretty.

After I picked up these cute floral slip on shoes, I'm recently really loving patterned slips on's and unfortunately primark was way too packed and messy for me to properly have a good look around the shoe section but I did get time to grab these in my size and get out of there, they are as expect don't have a super thick sole but they are definitely super comfy and great for when I really can't be bothered but still wanna make some effort to get about the day.

I also picked up a home item in the form of this super summery Duvet set, I seen it a while back on gabs from VelvetGh0st's Instagram and I immediately fell in love with it! I also found out it's reversible, one side is bigger multi coloured pineapples, while the other side is grey coloured smaller pineapples, two looks in one! amazing, It's currently on my bed sheets and it makes me happy.

Next is clothes where I surprisingly only picked up two bits, mainly because I just couldn't deal with being in there too long as it was hectic and I think my friends felt similarly. The first thing I got was this super cosy harry potter print top, which I'll be mentioning tomorrow so I won't talk any more about that!

The other thing I got was quite a risky purchase but it was only £5 so I didn't feel it would be much of a lost if I didn't like it.
It's this white playsuit with a pretty neon coloured Aztec print and I thought this would be great for the middle of summer on a super hot day when I'm out and about with a nice jacket and some cool sandals ( which is on my list to buy! )

And those were all my purchases from Primark recently! Though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dying for anther cheap shopping spree, especially with my uni year nearing an end, I think I might treat myself!

New Piercings! Life update.

So hi...

This is probably the first post I've straight up said is a life update but I really like these kinds of posts generally and although my life isn't the most exciting, I quite like the idea of updating you guys a little more than the very minimal update I give in my monthly round up posts. With that said, I finally bit the bullet and got two new piercings! I previously (warning possible TMI) had my nipples pierced but have in the last 2 months removed them. Apart from them I've always considered having a tongue piercing, and since forever I've wanted my ears pierced. I had them done for about a week when I was i think 5-6 but as I was a child I immediately lost the earrings and so they just closed. My mum had promised me ever since that she would get them done for me again but alas, that never happened...

Before:

So Last Wednesday I decided to head down to Modern Body Art after a decent amount of researching and got 2 piercings. I found a lot of slack online for most of the places in Birmingham, which I was really shocked about, I had intended to get the piercings done at blue banana but the horror stories a few people gave online was off putting, they gave the valid point that it is not a place dedicated to piercing but a fashion shop with a piercing place stuck to the side. The place which had the least negative views etc was Modern body art, which you may be able to guess is mainly a tattoo parlor. Someone had said 'if only they were as enthusiastic about piercings as they were tattoos. But I wanted to get them done and I didn't want to wait till I got home. I found out that they did a deal of every piercing for £15 on Wednesday which was good enough for me so I went.

Straight After:

And honestly it was a brilliant experience, the guy was knowledgeable, and patiently waited while I prepared myself for the tongue piercing. the place was super clean and professional and I'm really glad that I chose to go there. So Yeah I got both ears done which was pretty painless and then the tongue piercing, compared to how much i worked myself up it really didn't hurt, even after a week it hasn't really hurt all that bad once. I'm so happy I bit the bullet and got them. I'd been playing with the idea of a tongue piercing for a while but held back for a number of silly reasons, including the fact that I have cuts in my tongue, which you might be able to see from the pictures, but it's always been like that as far as I remember and the guy who pierced it said it was no problem.

After a few hours:

I'm also considering getting my septum, but as that is a super obvious right in your face piercing I bought a fake one a few weeks back that I'm waiting to arrive.
SO yeah, what do you think of the piercings, I'm a super big fan, despite that the parents aren't all that fond!

Any piercings or even tattoos that you've thought of for ages then just gone for it?

The Whole Make-up Collection: Base Products.

So hi....

Going to talk about the base products today, probably the smallest collection I have. These are my foundations blush/bronzer and all that shizz.

Let's first talk foundation. I don't use foundation all that often, I'm a lazy concealer and powder only kinda girl. But I do own three foundations.
First is the Rimmel Wake me up foundation in Ivory, I love this foundation but it's ( if you couldn't tell) a little bit too dark, i love the coverage and everything else on it but when i bought it I just picked up the lightest shade there and that it still too dark I can mix it with the match perfection foundation however for a more well matched colour.
Speaking of the second foundation I own is the Rimmel match perfection foundation in light Porcelain, this foundation is kinda runny and a little too light for my skin, which makes it a good mix with the wake me up colour.
Lastly is the Foundation I'm currently using which is the Maybelline Super stay better skin foundation in Ivory. This has a decent coverage and is the best colour match so it's what I'll currently make the effort to use.

Next I'll cover all the other bits since I currently only have one of each. For concealer I have the Rimmel wake me up concealer.
I also had the collection lasting perfection concealer however it's run out and I have yet to find a store that has the fair shade that hasn't been used to replace it. The wake me up one does a pretty good job however so it'll d for now.
For powder I'm pretty loyal to Rimmel's Stay matte powder, it does the job well and I couldn't really ask for much else.
I also have the MUA Pro-base Primer, thought it's nearly run out and in all honesty, I didn't feel that it made much difference. I am on the look out for some good primers however so any suggestions down in the comment section would be appreciated.
Last but not least is the Two faced no make-up make up palette, which holds my highlight, blush and bronzer all in one, I love this little palette as its extremely useful and easy!

And we're already done... I told you it was a small collection. I am on the look out to expand it greatly but I feel like with base products it's very important to get it right and not waste money because you picked the wrong shade or something.

My Spring Essential Accessories.

So Hi...

With Spring quite upon us and Summer soon to follow, I thought I would put together a few of the accessories which will always be within reach during these warmer (we hope) months.

 So a few small beauty products first. For the bolder feeling days where nothing but a red lip will do I've picked my Nars lip crayon, I've been addicted to using it since getting it from Paris! Second Is my favourite nude 'my lips but better' Colour is ... from collection. I really love collection, I have a few of their products outside of the 'holy grail' lasting perfection concealer and they are all affordable and good quality! maybe I'll do a look from their products in the future! LAst is a peachy orange colour from Miss sporty, which although i'm really not fond of the brand I love the colour of this and the smell, it sounds odd but this lipstick smells really nice as you're applying it. As well as lips I've included a nail varnish, This is a similar shade to the orange/peach lipstick and is in the shade 'peachy keen' from MUA.

 Next are what I suppose you'd call the fashion accessories. First and necessary! Sunglasses. These ones are currently my favourite pair as I love the Cat eye and I actually got them out of a magazine a while back, bargain. I want to greatly expand my collection soon however. For necklaces I've picked out my three current favurites, The bottom flower statement is from Asda funnily enough and is something I think will really bring together a pretty spring or summer outfit. The Camera necklace is something I've recently talked about here. it's a simplistic necklace that goes with anything and fits my personality so perfectly. The last teardrop necklace is something I've rediscovered. It's a necklace I've had since forever, s I have no clue when I got it or from where but I recently wore it and loved it, It felt very summer and made me feel quite the cool girl if I do say so myself, so in summer i'm gonna whip it out a bit more!

Now for the more practical items. First are these skullcandy headphones that my sister gave to me. I love these as they are prefect for drowning out background noise without actually sounding all that loud to other people. Its also the perfect size that my head doesn't feel like it's being crushed and i get a head ache which is what most over the head earphones tend to do. And a rather basic, face wipes, Judge away I've mentioned many times my love for the convenience of these. I tend to keep a pack in my bag for more than just my face but anything, I basically use them like baby wipes in summer.

And that's most of the items I think i'll be reaching for this Spring/Summer time.

What are your spring/summer essentials? let me know down below!

Its been quite a good month though, The eventful days were spread out but the chilled out days were also very much welcomed. we all had a assignment due last friday, which meant the 2 weeks before were pretty stressful, though I was lucky enough to finish that assignment early. I've spent the last few days of march at home catching up with family and friends. couldn't ended it a better way.

How was you march? let me know down in the comments below!

Starting a Uni Scrapbook.

So hi...

I've always been the type of person that envied the cute little friendship scrapbooks I'd see people do or the creativity on Tumblr and in peoples diary's and work. SO when I seen Lilly Pebbles talk about the scrapbook she had done for the year of 2014 I got super motivated. I though that since I had just gone through a major change in my life ( aka uni) that it would be the perfect opportunity to start up my own little Uni scrapbook. 

 I got a load of free prints from various sites. Many photo sites will give you free prints when you sign up and then it's just a small postage fee, I got about 150 in total from two different places. I then picked up a number of cute little pieces from the nearby wilko. there are all relatively cheap, I think my favourite is the little ribbons. I also want to get some nice patterned washy tape soon. So far I've gotten most of the pages for 2014 finished, I'm thinking about showing a few of the completed pages once my first uni year has been finished. It's not a super flashy or creative scrapbook, but I'm proud of it and enjoy doing it.

The Monthly Round up: Feb

So hi....

February has been a pretty good month. It marked the 'proper' start of uni lectures and seminars again and it ends with a visit to Paris. My Best friend and Cousin Jordine also visited me in Brum for  weekend and I also got to go home for a week and catch up with friends. It was a rather happy and eventful month. With the last two months being so good 2015 is looking rather pleasant. though IT's  been a good month, I lack photographic proof but forgive.

Me and Amber after pub grub// Jordine in Brum// Pranking Joshes room childishly//

Habits I Want To Make.

So hi....

I don't think I've mentioned it too much over here on my blog but if you follow me on twitter you would have probably seen my praises of how much better I've been feeling over the last 2 months or so. University has really done me a world of good, the responsibility and the whole level of control you get from being in a different city and living independently is just something that really sat well with me and due to that I've felt more and more content with myself as a person and have got a real sense for what I want out of life and where I want to go with uni and just life in general and it's super nice. In relation to that I've developed a few things that I really want to make into habits that will become apart of my everyday routine.

Morning walks. - I'm not the worse morning person but at the same time I'm not really the best. I want to get into the habit of waking up early and going for a casual little walk to wake myself up

Reading the news in the morning. - I always feel really out of the loop with news, I just don't watch the news in the mornings or really watch it in the evenings either and we don't have newspaper in the house, So I'm always unaware of whats really going on, and I just want to change that and know whats happening in the world around me.

Read a book chapter a night. - Trying to renew the little reading challenge thing that I did a few months ago but in a different way, to properly wind down before bed I want to read and just relax away from the laptop and my phone.

Learn a new skill every few months. - This is slightly random but there are so many things that I want to do and know and I think it would be amazing to spend a few months at a time dedicated to different skills I want to learn and then gradually practicing them.

Relearn to read sheet music. - I suppose this could be linked to the skills point but I used to read sheet music when I had piano and violin lessons, but over the last 3-4 years I have almost completely forgotten which I feel is a shame as I loved being able to play off of sheet music.

Read more journals for uni. - This one is not only to make sure that I feel that I've done my best in my uni work but because the course I'm doing ( Psychology and Criminology ) is something that I picked because I do find it interesting, so I want to engross myself into it as a subject  and topic more than I am at the moment.

Listen to the radio in the morning. - Another random odd one, but I've been putting the radio on while i'm reading the news on my apps in the mornings to help slowly wake my self and it's just nice as casual background noise, It's especially nice recently with all the festive music, helps put me in a great mood in the mornings.

Make proper use of my time, Organize. - Quite a really general one here but I really need to make better use of my time and be a lot more productive and organised, I always think how there's not enough time in the day but really it's just that I don't make good use of the time.

Do you want to change any lifestyle changes, since It's new year, are you going along with the usual, new year new me shibang?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

The #Bhmbloggermeet

So hi...

Last Friday was Black Friday, now it's not supposed to be much of a thing in England but it's apparently exploded in the last few years with a load of brands offering discounts and deals to us UK customers, As well as this madness I attended my first ever event which was exciting. It was the Birmingham Blogger meet Organised by Abbigayle over at stealstylist.com and was hosted by The Body Shop. I was so honored to be invited as such a diddy little space on the internet and it was such an amazing evening focused more on the interactions between bloggers rather than brands brands brands.
We started the evening off with a little challenge called ' What does your cupcake say?' We all had to think of a cute little phrase to write on a little note and was put into our cupcakes. I chose to write 'Life is sweeter with cake!'
I foolishly forgot my camera in the rush to get the train in time so You'll have to manage ith the slightly more awkward phone photos.

After we had a little brief of what the event was about from Abbigayle  and then a little brief from the body shop staff about the body shop, we also got told about the 3 Christmas collections released for the Christmas period. The 3 collection are Glazed apple, which was a gorgeous fruity scent that just screams christmas. Vanilla Brulee which was so sweet in the pots but were much softer in scent once put on the skin and my personal favourite, Cranberry, this scent smells similar to their strawberry scents but not as sweet and well more Cranberry like, Another very Christmas feeling scent.

Briefing over with we had a little question ice breaker in which we all answered a question based on the sweet we had chosen earlier on.
After we were split into groups to experience little stations, the stations were Hand massages, Facial Skincare, Makeup and then hands and nails. I really enjoyed all the stations and got to know a lot more about what the body shop ranges offer as well as some make-up techniques which I could always use!

We then got to shop, with an amazingly good deal of 50% off everything at it's original price. I picked up a little Skincare goodie which I'll be showing either as it's own review or in a haul post!
Along with this deal, You guys also get to experience the goodness with a screen shot of this photo!
it's running until December 3rd So be quick!

It was an amazing night and we quickly ran out of time which was sad as Abbigayle told us she had a few more games planned for us, But we all said we could do them next time!

A cute group photo was taken and we then received a goodie bag, Which contained a cup from starbucks, allowing us 20p off drinks with the cup as well as a cute chocolate reindeer lolly. A bag of popcorn supplied by Propercorn and some sample pots of 3 body butters in the seasonal scents by The body shop.

I was amazingly grateful to be invited and even more grateful to receive a little goodie bag as well, It was a lovely night and I got to talk to a few fellow bloggers like Tash from As told by Tash Pantz, Rebecca from The Glossary , Amy from Haus of Amy and Emily from Good girl gone Brum

Brilliant evening with Brilliant people, Perfect.

We'll talk soon lovelies!
