I'M BACK | LIFE UPDATE

Hey guys!!!! Sorry I haven't posted on here in a while, I have just been so busy and just had no motivation to do anything. Things have really got to me recently but I am a lot happier now and I am ready to start posting on here again and filming again for my YouTube Channel.

I have just been feeling so low the past couple of months, I was in a job that I loved just whilst I am off university for the summer but it was only a 6 week contract and I was so sad that I had to leave because I loved it there. It was the best job I've ever had and I finished in June so when it ended I was just like 'what am I going to do now?'. I don't go back to University till the 1st October so I had quite a while left. I didn't think I was going to get another job at all. About 2 weeks later my stepdad got me a job in warehouse and I was only there for 3 days, I was covered in bruises and it was just so horrible to work there! As much as I wanted a job, I didn't want to stay there at all so I left. So then, I was applying for more jobs online and about a week later I had a phone call for an interview and I went in and I got the job straight away. I was working for a company where I was putting all the prices on the stock ready to go into the shop. However, I hated it. I was standing on my feet for 8.5 hours a day at a desk, not moving at all. It absolutely killed my feet and my back and going home was the best part of my days and going to sleep. Again, as much as I wanted to have a job, I hated it there and I left within 3 weeks. The management weren't very nice and really didn't care about you, the training was terrible and the staff never told you that you were doing a good job, they only spoke to you when you did something wrong. I had no friends there either, there weren't a lot of English people who worked there and the girls I was with spoke in their own language a lot of the time so I barely spoke to anyone. 

I didn't quit that job just because I hated it, but my mom was moving to Devon. I was going to stay at that job for a couple more weeks just to earn some more money and then go to Devon to my mom for a few weeks but I just thought 'fuck it'. I was so unhappy in my job and at home too because a lot was going on at home (I live with my auntie, uncle and cousin). So, I thought I may as well go with my mom now until mid September. I am SO glad I made that decision. Money wasn't a problem for me I just wanted a bit more extra cash so I could do more shopping lol but I can live without that for a few weeks till I go back to University. So now, I am in Devon, doing nothing but lazing around. I am enjoying the rest of my Summer with my mom until I go back to University. It is also so lovely here as well, I am so happy I chose to come here. I am also glad to be away from home for a bit because I needed some space from it all. 

I lost my memory card for my camera a few weeks ago so I have a new one on order, as soon as it comes I can concentrate more on my blog and on my YouTube channel as I have PLENTY of time to do it at the moment. I have also gone shopping like mad with make up so I have plenty of make up to work with for my videos! I am so excited.

On the 19th September I am going to Zante for a week with one of my best friends and it is the first party holiday I have ever booked so I am counting down the days until that. Then, the 1st October I am moving into my new house with my friends from University which is something I have been looking forward to for such a long time. I am also dating someone too... ;) things are going really well. I have never had any luck with guys and this is the first guy I have liked in such a long time so I am hoping things work out for me this time.

So yeah, things are finally looking up for once for me and I am so excited to get back on it with my YouTube videos on my blog! See you in my next post!

MEN, SEX & RELATIONSHIPS

So today I thought I would write about something different, for the ladies obviously. I want to talk about men, sex and relationships. Lets be honest, we love all of them. I want to tell you some of my experiences and some things you should know or should already know from your own experience if you can relate. I hope you girls & guys enjoy this post.

Us girls (and guys if you're reading this), come across a lot of dickheads in life. I have met guys who come across all sweet and act like they like you when in fact they just want to get in your knickers. Then, they will just fuck you off and never speak to you again. I have met guys who will say they want you to be with you but never actually ask you to be their girlfriend officially (which is VERY frustrating). I have met guys who think it's okay to come and go whenever they like, one minute they want you, the next minute they don't. It is very true to say that they always miss you when you're gone and when you no longer want them anymore. they realise they have fucked up. Guys can be absolute twats and I've had so many bad experiences with guys. However, all of these have definitely been learning curves for me and I can now tell who is a dickhead and who isn't. In my opinion, I don't think guys know shit about us girls OR it just takes them a long time to figure us out. 

I think us girls are so much more sensitive than guys are and I think we catch feelings a lot easier than guys do too. We love to have the attention off guys, we want them to show us off to the world on social media, we want them to turn up at our door with flowers (I have never been bought flowers lol). But not every guy likes to do this, I think guys keep their emotions to themselves a lot of the time and us girls love to be open about everything. HOWEVER, I don't think every girl is an angel, so please don't think I do, because I know there are a lot of girls out there who are complete dickheads to guys when they think the world of them. I am just saying all of this from my own experience and I know that a lot of girls will be able to relate.

 I was definitely the type to make most of the effort whenever I liked someone and it pissed me off big time. Thank god I am no longer like that anymore. I don't let anyone ever take me for a dickhead anymore. I am a woman who works hard for her money and goes to University with a lot of ambition in life. I haven't got the patience for dickhead guys in my life who think its okay to mess with my head when I have better things to think about.

The saying goes "you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince". Which I think is very true. A lot of my friends are in relationships and some of them have been with their partner for like 3+ years and it drives me mad that I am still single and waiting to meet the right guy. However, I realise that I am 19 and that I still have plenty of time to find the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

 I feel that I haven't found the right guy yet because of my weight, and that's my opinion. I barely ever see any guys interested in girls my size (like a size 16) and that's just from my experience. It's very rare I ever see any man with a girl who's not like a size 8-12. It baffles me, I may be wrong but that's just from what I have seen. That's the reason why I think I am single. HOWEVER, I don't have a problem with sex. Some guys seem to love my curves and my body during sex so why am I not good enough to be someones girlfriend? I don't know, but I think I have a nice personality. I am not a horrible person and would never do wrong to anyone, so I get confused as to why I'm actually still single, lol.

I am not the type of girl to say 'every guy is the same' because I don't think that is true. I believe that there are so many good guys out there who will love you for who you are, I just think it's hard to find them.

I think it is going to take me a while to actually settle down with someone who makes me really happy. Even though I know I will find someone one day, it gets so boring being single at times, especially when I am surrounded around friends who are already in long term relationships. My longest relationship has been 4 months... like seriously, that is nothing compared to other people. I don't even know anyone who's had a relationship as short as mine. But I just hope I meet my perfect guy soon!!

PIXI Glow Tonic Exfoliating Toner | REVIEW


I saw a lot of people say good things about this, so many bloggers were buying this and giving it positive reviews so I thought I may as well get it and see if it's as good as people say it is.

This product is supposed to help tone, firm and tighten the skin and remove dead skin cells for healthier looking skin. It is also alcohol free and for all skin types.

Toners can be used to remove any last traces of product, dirt and grime while helping to clear your complexion of any build-up that is hiding.

This product really does get rid of a lot of dirt which is still there at the end of the day after you have washed your face. It just shows that washing your face isn't the only thing you should do because it doesn't get rid of everything. It is very pleasant to use and I honestly thought that it would have irritated my skin but it has done the complete opposite, it's just like putting water on your face. It's very hydrating and leaves your skin feeling smooth and feeling so much better. I have been using this for a few weeks now and I have noticed such a huge difference in my skin. It feels better and looks better too. I would say that you should use it both morning and night to get the best results. I have been using it every morning after I have washed my face and I have used it every night after I have washed my face too. Your complexion just looks and feels so much more radiant and your face just feels and looks so much cleaner and it is such a great feeling.

It is definitely something I would recommend to have in your skincare box at home. It is a little pricey at £18 but it is definitely worth it and the bottle isn't small either. It is something that will last ages!

Too Faced 'Better Than Sex' Waterproof Mascara | REVIEW


I love Too Faced products, the packaging catches the eye and the products are always so good. I wanted to buy this mascara for so long, just look how amazing the packaging is, it is so beautiful!

I was debating whether to buy it for such a long time because on the website it charges taxes as well as the price and it was completely putting me off buying it, but then I came across Debenhams! I had never shopped on Debenhams before and honestly, I had no idea they had all the top make up brands on there, so I was so happy I found it because it was free delivery if you spend £30 or more so I bought this and I bought myself something else as well. It was £19 and I am going to be honest, I don't think it is worth it. 

The packaging is beautiful and you can't go wrong with it but the actual product isn't all that. I am really gutted because I expected it to be a really good mascara coming from a popular make up brand but it flakes a lot and that is the biggest downfall of it. It is definitely waterproof but even after 3 hours, it flakes and I had to keep wiping black from under my eyes. Also the wand is huge, and it's very hard to actually put the mascara on without getting black on your eyelids and as well, it's hard to get into the corner of your eyes because of the wand being so big.

I am not the only person who has said this I have read lots of other reviews online of other people saying the same thing but I really didn't want to believe them so I bought it anyway, but they are right. Unfortunately, I won't be repurchasing this product, however, I am going to buy the original 'Better Than Sex' mascara to see if there is a difference and to see if that one is better than this one, and I am really hoping that it is.
