   Okay, it's been almost a year since I posted my first blog post on here and I thought, why the hell not celebrate with an update! My first ever post was 25 facts about me and with it being a year ago, some things are bound to have changed right?
  So here are my more current 25 facts!

Becoming An Adult.

What is up my little sparkly fairies?
Not much?
Yeah same here... Apart from the fact I am yet again meeting my best friend next month to celebrate my birthday in MIDDLESBROUGH!!!

Okay so I live in North Wales, near the border going into England, and I made a vow to myself to meet my friends that I have either met through the internet or to visit my friends that have gone to university out of North Wales.

I leave my little hometown on the 3rd of June, on a two hour car journey out of Wales, to see my dearest best friend (in the whole wide world btw, be jealous.), even though my mum and brother will be with me on the car journey down (maybe up?) it's still a huge step for me since I will be staying away from home for just under a week.

I'M ACTUALLY GROWING UP.

Did I mention that I will also be TWENTY YEARS OLD??!!!

Nope, I didn't.

I want to be a teenager forever. *cries*.

But in ten more years I'll be THIRTY.


       no thanks.

ANNNYYYYWWAAAAAYYYYSSSS...


Not only will I be seeing my best friend (in the whole wide world incase you forgot..), I will also be seeing one of my idols. Well, idol sounds cliché, what I mean is, twin/inspiration/vocal princess, Ariana Grande.

This will be my second ever concert (my first one ever being Justin Bieber, don't judge me okay? I was like 15... How could you not love that hair.....)

I have never been so excited in my life.

Not only about that but were even planning our joint 21st birthday together already!!!!


MUCH PLAN.
SUCH MERCH.
MUCH SUCH EXCITE.

But what I'm trying to say is that, I can feel that I'm maturing, I no longer love little pop bands, I'm no longer obsessed with pink fluffy things (well, maybe a little), I appreciate stuff like candles, cushions and home decor? When did this start to happen? I now prefer vanilla and wood scents over fruity, pungent teen perfumes. What is this life?

I'm even starting to enjoy watching documentaries. DOCUMENTARIES!!!!

Jeez, a year ago all I could think about was pugs, getting drunk and boys.

Nope not anymore.

I'm all about Golden Retrievers, enjoying a cool beverage at home wrapped in a blanket and well still boys.. but in books. (Y U NO EXIST RON WEASLEY?)

I'm blabbering on, oooooooopsiesssssss.

I even feel that grown up that I'm not going to add a photo to the end of this blog post.

BUT.

Ima give you guys a few recommendations of things I have been loving since I really doubt I'll be doing a May Favourites because I'll be too busy ageing.

Sooooo here you go!

Yours Sincerely, My little kitty eared pea heads....

2015 Favourites!

♡ GOODBYE 2014 AND HELLO 2015! ♡

☼ IT'S SPRING!! ☼

Okay, I've been a bad blogger this year so far, I get it, but I feel that now with April coming up, I owe you guys a favourites blog and since I haven't done one this year, why not throw them all into one big blooming blog? Sounds fair enough doesn't it?

Before I get started, I NEED to make some changes to this blog, I was thinking a new name and layout so if you have any ideas then please leave them in the comments below! :)

MAKE-UP & BEAUTY

FOUNDATION/BASE: Okay, I've said this before and I'm saying it again, The Body Shop All in One BB Cream in the shade 00. It is the palest one of them all yet it is too dark for me without tan but with me always applying false tan, this cream literally makes your face glow as if you have just got in from sunbathing, you literally need a pea sized drop of it and it covers your face perfectly set with the right powder!
Another item I have been using LOTS & LOTS is the Dream Satin Liquid Foundation by Maybelline, I use the shade Ivory (obviously..), I don't really know why I stopped using this because it is amazing, the coverage is brilliant and it blends amazingly, it doesn't look cakey and it is flawless, paired with the FitMe powder, I used to get compliments with it all the time, seriously get it, you won't regret it.

POWDER: I'm not gonna lie, I have been very short on cash this month and a girl needs powder regardless of what the outcome looks like and I found a cheap powder to replace my absolute favourite FitMe Powder, so I found the Rimmel Clear Complexion powder in the shade 021 Transparent, it doesn't have the best coverage (obviously) since it is clear, but pair this with the Dream Satin Liquid foundation and you're sorted! 

CONTOUR: This has to be the best contour kit I have ever laid eyes upon, it is the Barry M Flawless Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit, mine has almost run out & I think I bought it at the beginning of February and i've used it every single day with and without makeup, this palette is a gift sent from the make-up God herself. 

EYESHADOW: I've resorted to using bronzer for eyeshadow over the start of the year since browns go pretty well with spring based makeup and also when you have been using false tan, for this I have been using the Solar Powder bronzer by the almighty Soap and Glory! Also since it is spring, I have started using the Naked 3 Palette since the pinks and shimmer colours compliment the season perfectly!


LIPS: I have a few products for lips, a liner, balm and a crayon type balm! Starting with the Lip Liner.. If you know me, you'll know I literally always test out liners for the perfect Kylie Jenner pout and I think I may have found a pretty good pink shade. It is the very cheap and affordable Collection Lip Liner - Precision Colour in the shade 17 Clover Pink paired with the crayon type balm which is the Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in the shade 225 Sultry. Pair these two together and lightly dab the excess of the balm off with a tissue and you have the perfect Kylie pout!

As for the other lip balm, before bed I have been using the Cocoa Butter Vaseline, it does wonders for your lips and when you wake up, I guarantee you will have the softest lips ever!

MASCARA: THIS MASCARA IS AMAZING, PERFECT AND JUST UGH. I love it. It is the Benefit Roller Lash mascara! I have the small one from the magazine I bought it with in February and I must say, for a mascara as little as it is, it lasts ages! I'd say mine is about halfway full? It does everything, makes your lashes extremely long, volumises your lashes to however you want and it even curls them for you! I never do ratings but it is a 10/10!!!

HAIR PRODUCTS!

HAIR: I decided to get a different 'scent'? Batiste Dry Shampoo to have a change from using the Cherry one. When I went to Superdrug a couple weeks ago, I picked up the Eden one which is Sugar Melon & Honeysuckle and it is literally the prettiest thing I've ever smelt for a hair product, I'd say if this scent was a person, it would be a mixture of Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews. Just elegant and well, pretty.
I also bought a Tangle Teezer! I got the one thats is lilac and baby pink and it is perfect, compared to my (expensive) Denman brush, it doesn't hurt or pull at all, I literally need them in every colour going.

RANDOMS!

YANKEE CANDLE OF THE MONTH!: Stony Cove from the Yankee Home section :) 

SONG(s) OF THE MONTH: Ariana Grande ft Cashmere Cat - Adore
The Pretty Reckless - House on a Hill
Till I Hear You Sing - Ramin Karimloo

MOVIE OF THE MONTH: I watched Boyhood last month and it was amazing, if there was a film made about my families life, it is exactly that! 


PERFUME OF THE MONTH: Mesmerise Black from Avon! It's a mixture of jasmine, mandarin and a woodish scent :)



TV SERIES OF THE MONTH: Gossip Girl oh my god I'm so addicted!

MUSICAL OF THE MONTH: Love Never Dies! 

CLOTHING ITEM OF THE MONTH: Cat Ears!

OBSESSION OF THE MONTH: Disney's new Tsum Tsum's! Both the app and the plush toys! They are ADORABLE! 


That's about it so far this year! I wish you all a lovely spring and I shall see you next month with more favourites and who knows what else!

Toodle pip my little shimmery mm bops!

JUST SAY YES

Okay, I know it's been a while since my last post (four months exactly, oops..) but I'm back now! I will be uploading my monthly favourites soon which will include favourites from both Christmas and the last few months because I'm the biggest failure of a blogger ever, so with that being said, I've decided to show you guys some of my goals for the year and not resolutions because it's a little bit late for that!

My motto for the year so far has been "Just Say Yes" as the lovely Zoella from YouTube says a lot, since last year I chickened out from doing almost anything from going out to a meal to going out of Wales and just meeting new people. 

 These are the things I have Just Said Yes to..

• Overcoming my hatred of the colour Orange, I just recently bought a nail polish that is the colour of a pale tangerine! I'm still yet to wear it though..
• More exercise! Okay, I'm not going to the gym or going jogging (I legit have the worlds most weakest ankles, I can't run up the stairs without twisting them…) I've not been lifting weights (wrists the same as ankles, but not the running part, that's just weird.) but I've been doing stretching and yoga before bed lately and it may not be much but it makes you feel so much better in yourself.
• Less junk food!! Okay, I have been eating less sugary stuff but to be honest, writing this part with a Kinder Egg next to you doesn't exactly help.
• Meeting friends! My bestest friend whom I met through the tinterweb almost 4/5ish years ago came down here and stayed at my house for a full weekend! Last year it would've scared me so much to just have even met up with my Chummy with my nerves and social awkwardness but it felt so comfortable and I don't know why we didn't do it sooner!
• I got into, probably, my first grown up relationship. It didn't last long but for me to say that I actually did it makes me feel, well, grown up? (wow.) If you know me, the world of 'dating' scares me. A lot, because it either leads to marriage or heartbreak. If you have been reading my blogs you will have known that I have NEVER been in love, nor do I intend to at this given time. I realised the other day that I chicken out when I get scared and just tell the truth straight out. I never seem to be ready for one, and for some people thats never enough of a reason to end something. 
• I went to London, without my Mum?????? Yep, I went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour in January with said 'relationship' above. I don't know if I'm too close to my family but it was such a huge deal to go somewhere without them. 
• Rekindle old friendships. We all drift apart from high school/college friends and it never hurt anyone to start a little conversation with people you have shared your deepest secrets or little jokes with.
• Smile more to strangers. This will sound so cheesy but a smile can make someones day, whether it's some guy that looks like they're having a bad time, or an old woman that thinks you're a teenage thug thats going to rob them. Like love, I am as violent as a fluffy cloud, ur ok… :)

Here are some things I want to Say Yes to in the future.

• Travel more.
• Lose weight. 
• Be more creative with my hair.
• Try jogging.
• Wear shorts!
• Learn to like my flaws.
• Meet new people.
• SEE MY CHUMMY AGAIN.
• Go to college.
• Go to London to see Les Mis.
• Find a job doing something I love.
• Find my own place?
• Be with someone that will push me to do what I wanna do in life.
• Don't feel bad for things that turn out not the way you wanted it to.
• Become less awkward.
• Become more confident.
• Wear more coloured clothes!
• Try to care more about situations, I seem to not be fazed in the slightest when people try to insult me, I just don't have a heart okay?!
• Find more hobbies!
• AS LAME AS IT SOUNDS, I really want to just lie down with someone and look at the stars or watch the sunset. I think I just wanna live in a movie?
• Go outside more.
• Catch a real tan without dying of heat.
• Go on holiday!
• Go back to the Studio Tour (Hogwarts Express duh!)
• Write more blog posts!!!

So that's it, my goals for 2015 so far!

I hope you enjoyed this post since it is my first one of the year,

*hides face in disappointment*

Do you have any goals? Or do you think you may want to achieve some of mine in the coming year? If so let me know by posting them in the comments below and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see them :)

Thats it for now my little squishy bum gummy droplet star shines!
