Room tour!

I have been meaning to write this blog post for a while now. Ever since we moved into this house over a year ago I wanted to write a blog post showing how I've decorated my room. When I was little I was obsessed with programmes like changing rooms and 60 minute make over being very jealous of peoples newly decorated bedrooms.

A bedroom for me is a place I can call my own. A place that I can show my personality and spend time in reading books or watching TV. From the age of one to the age of fourteen I had to share a room with my younger sister which I hated terribly. She was so messy, didn't put her stuff away and I am the complete opposite. I love my things to go where I want them and for everything to be nice and tidy because I'm a clean freak like that. Which is why I take so much pride in my room because I can have what I like it in and be any colour I like.

In the past I've had my room painted either pink or purple no in between. Now i'm twenty-one I wanted something a little more grown up and something that is going to last me a good few years. So I decided to paint my room all white. It's such a safe colour to go with as it makes your room really bright giving the illusion of a bigger room. You can also add a touch of colour with the use of bedroom accessories. I went for a very girly feel with the use of pale pinks, flowers and pretty pictures.

 

Current make up routine

Every so often I like to change around what make up I put on my face in the hope that I will discover the perfect combination of products to put onto my face. Well this time has finally come and the products I have been using for everyday use has been in my opinion the best one yet. Don't get me wrong I love trying out new bases, eye shadows and mascaras because there are so many varieties of make up products to use that the best one for may not be out there yet.

Since I've started wearing make up more regularly the type of products I use has changed considerably. I never thought I would be using a brow brush but having thick, pigmented eyebrows is such a huge trend that I could not go without.

These here are what I've been using on my face for a while now and since coming back from America I have discovered new and exciting products that I cannot go without.

Whats in my bag

When it comes to blogs or youtube videos with content that contains all things make up and fashion, it's made me become extremely nosy. I love knowing what random items people have in their handbags or what latest clothing items they've recently brought. It gives you an idea about how people live their lives and their general lifestyle choice. That is why I have decided to do a whats in my bag which features a very special bag which I absolutely love.

If you read my New York post you will know that I brought an item which I have wanted for a very long time and that is the Mulberry Lily medium. When I first went into the Mulberry store on 5th Avenue it was like love at first sight. I loved the size of the bag, the gold hardware and how it sat on my shoulder.

Contents include:

Burberry sunglasses

Polo mints

pen

Fearne Cotton cosmetic mirror

NYX lipgloss

The bodyshop lip balm in sheer butter

Victor and Rolf flower bomb mini

Ted Baker purse

Mini Haul

Today I had a day off work so took the opportunity to go and get my eyebrows done cause they were just awful and went into my local town centre. Next thing you know I'm done what I went in for and went around the shops. This is a bad thing for me cause I am one of the biggest shopaholic's going and may have brought a few items.
Therefore I thought it would be a good idea and show you what I brought.

Primark

Topshop

Don't give up

One day it would be my dream to say to people I love my job. Not many people I know say that or have that said that in the past. It's very rare for people to actually like what they do, they leave school not knowing what they want to do as a career, they find a job that pays okay and end up there for longer than anticipated. I for one do not want that to happen. I want to be able to wake up in the morning, full of energy and actually look forward to my day. Not that I don't look forward to my day it's just that the job I'm at now isn't what I want to do for the rest of life.

I'm bringing this up now because the last few weeks of work have been more stressful than I can handle causing me to express many emotions in a short amount of time. I've cried, been in a panic and laughed all at once. I know everyone has there bad days at work but a few bad weeks is more than I can handle. I had such a bad couple of weeks that I felt look walking out and quiting right there and then. But then me and my boyfriend went away for a week and I relaxed, had a brilliant time and actually enjoyed my days out doing stuff and being my my boyfriend. I got back to work ( and touch wood) it all seems to have calmed down and not been too bad.

Although work now seems to be okay at the moment, that does not mean I will give up wanting to be a writer and filling the pages of my favorite magazines with words I wrote and pictures I took, writing about the exact subjects I could spend all day writing about. I wish that I could come back to this blog one day and say I write for Glamour or Look magazine or even have my own professional blog that I can say is my full time job.

If you have a similar or completely different dream to mine wherever that is job related, family related or you want to travel the world. Just remember not to give up on chasing that because although I haven't got my dream yet I will not give up in till I do.  

Life Update

The last few months of my life have been a complete whirlwind for many reasons. Some of them amazing and some not so good, hence why I haven't posted on here in a while.

First lets start with the positives. I've finally met someone (relationship wise) who I truly, truly care about and like very much. I never thought for one moment i would find someone like him and am so grateful to have him in my life.

The second factor is that yesterday I finally graduated with a degree in journalism. It also could not have happened on a more perfect day being the hottest day of the year.Which is very unusually for England. I worked really hard for my degree and i am extremely proud of my achievements. Unfortunately this was overshadowed by family drama that I don't want to go into as it's a whole other story. This resulted in me waking up feeling sad and hurt when i should of been feeling happy and proud of what I've done.

I wanted to share this as no one should be made to feel like this on such a special occasion. It should be a time to celebrate all the hard work that has been achieved surrounded my family, friends and loved ones. Instead i was in tears and filled with hurt.

If there are people in your life that make you feel like this, then you need get yourself out of that situation and surround yourself with people who will provide you with happiness and love, not hurt or sadness.

Welcome to New York

Sitting here as i type this post from bedroom it is pouring it down with rain. And when i say pouring i mean literally causing a swimming pool to be created in the garden. Watching the water fall down hard onto the ground makes me wanna be back in sunny, warm New York, where the comforting feel hits my back as i stand in the middle of Times Square taking in the glorious atmosphere of enormous buildings covered in large screens of advertisement from high profile brands.

Just like myself the streets are filled with tourist from all over the world attempting to take selfies with their extending selfie sticks as the aroma of warm hot dogs fill the air from the van in the corner of the street. Adults dressed as children's characters from Disney films approach each person that comes their way asking for photos, while shoppers carrying their goods steer to avoid. Speaking of shopping which i did plenty off felt like no other feeling. I almost convinced myself i was Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City as i made the biggest purchase of my life. That purchase was an item I've wanted for a long and i never thought i'd be able to get it was the medium Lily Mulberry bag. The way it stood perfectly on the stand and the gold hard hard glistening in the light spoke out to me and i could not say no. I walked down 5th Avenue bag in hand with the biggest smile on my face.

 
Along 5th Avenue high in the skyline was the tallest building i have ever since. That building was the Empire state standing tall among st the rest shine in the warm sunshine. Me and my mum decided we had to see the views from the very top and made our way right up to the 86th floor. The views from the very top were completely amazing you can literally see the whole of New York.

My time in New York sadly came to an end but left with some amazing memories that i will never forget. At some point in my life i will defiantly want to return to the great city that never sleeps and recommended anyone who is thinking of making that amazing trip.
