ANOTHER catch up...

Hey guys,

As always I will leave a link to my previous post so you guys can catch up if you haven't already. Click HERE if you're interested.

This is going to be a nice, chill post. I'm literally just going through all my favourite musicals' soundtracks on Spotify and I'm having a good old time. I'm currently on Calamity Jane, which is one of my ultimate fave films. I need to watch some more actually, I feel like theres a lot more that I haven't seen.

Anyways, this week at college we have all been 'dialling' down. We've practically ready for finishing but there's just the resubmissions and referrals and a final unit which apparently will take a few days. However we have all finished the final project which for my group was to design a bag based on 'Shed'. I wasn't happy with mine but we had a whole fashion show for all the creative and fashion students who contributed. It made me feel like a proud mum honestly. Some people I knew were modelling and to know that we all helped make some amazing pieces made me extremely happy to be with all these great creative people.

I sadly didn't take any photos but it was so cool honestly. The only issue I had with it was the people sat behind me said a snide comment about one of the beautiful ladies modelling. 'You could break that'. Like first off, she has a name - not that I know her but she certainly isn't a 'that'. Secondly I thought we were moving forward with acceptance, all the others there were so supportive and every single one of the models looked stunning, yet these people ruined it. Its all I could think about.
Still it was beautiful.

It's kind of scary that it's coming to the end of the year and I still have no idea what I want to specialise next year. I also desperately need a job to save for my cars insurance next year. It's an understatement to say that I'm crying on the inside. Oh well. I'm sure I'll get there, if not it wont be the end of the world, its cooooool.

Truth is, I've been too happy lately. I don't want a job, I don't want to spend all my possible free time at a job I probably wont like instead of being with awesome people. I do need one though, mum I know you're reading this, don't worry I will get one...soon.

I'm just loving life right now, and I hope you are all too.

It also settled in today that I could've driven to get myself some nuggets from Maccies. I almost did. But the fact that I could just go made me quite happy, although I did feel like an adult and im still unsure of how I feel on that... I'm not ready to adult!!!!

Here's a bomb af selfie (maybe two) from my makeup for Saturday night just because I actually love how it turned out. You are so welcome.

A big step.

Hey guys,

First of all, I hope you are all well. If you missed last weeks post, you can read it HERE and catch up.

Secondly, happy father's day to my dad (obvs). Well done dad, you and mum managed to create this great specimen of a human. I am so grateful to have you as my dad, even though sometimes your jokes are too bad to even fake laugh at. You support me in all that I do and encourage me to pursue anything that I want. and for that I will always be thankful. Despite how loudly you 'slurp' your cuppas, I wouldn't change you for the world. Love you lots and lots. x


Now for the actual post. If you didn't know, I live in England. And it is quite rare that we get much heat, normally nothing really above 20 degrees Celsius. However we had a few days of a heatwave a few weeks back, it wasn't too bad to be fair, only at college which is basically a greenhouse - literally.
Yeah, well now it seems to be back. It has been up to 29 degrees today and I think a lot of us are unable to function. I honestly don't know how people cope with this sort of heat. We all have a melt down, hahahah, get it?

Today my mum even bought me some shorts and a vest top so I was cooler. I normally only wear thick leggings or jeans and a t-shirt. But because of the heat I had to get over the fact that I have a bit of arm fat, cellulite, chubby stomach and thighs. I know a fair few people are self conscious of something and just stay covered up. Please don't cover up for other peoples sake. Don't apologise for your body. I know its easier said than done but when its really hot, it wont do you any good to over heat. STRUT YOUR STUFF OKAY?!

I took a photo of me today. Messy ass hair, no makeup, with these said shorts on and I don't think I look too shabby. It's taken a lot for me to get to this stage and it is a big step for me. I don't really like making a big thing of this sort of issue but I am honestly proud of myself. So why not document it. We're all friendly here anyways.



I'm going to have to finish this sooner than I thought as moths keep flying into my laptop screen and its not fun. It's actually quite terrifying. I know this post was a bit all over the place but hey, that's me as a person haha. I hope you all enjoy the sun and if you don't, it probably wont last too long anyway.

P.S. Don't forget sun cream!

Wonder Woman and Pirates Of The Carribean.

Hey guys,

So, It feels like forever since I wrote a post even though it was only last week. Anyways, here's the link for that post - HERE.

On Tuesday I went to see Wonder Woman. And I bloody loved it. Now I haven't seen any other marvel or DC movie except Suicide squad which I also loved. I would've liked to have watched all the other films before seeing suicide squad however there just wasn't enough time, and the trailer just made it look interesting so I risked it. With Wonder Woman, it's no risk. You don't need to see any other film in order to get the storyline. I followed just fine. I must say, I saw a lot of speculation in the media about this film, as it is a female strong film directed by a woman. Some were worried that if the film didn't do as well as others, it would give the whole 'female strong' thing a bad rep.

Now, I can see where they are coming from. It'd be such a shame to get this far with equality to only go a step back. But boy, they did not disappoint. And I must say the ending is quite something spectacular. Although I did almost cry. I wont say why because lol spoilers but still. I definitely was happy, because it wasn't what you expected. Id definitely recommend you give the film a try too.
FYI - its even better going to go see it with great company.

Today I did a makeup look inspired by Wonder Woman, it's not exactly how I would've wanted it to be but I was still pretty chuffed so here's some cheeky photos.

 


Also this week I saw The new Pirates film with my sister. I must say I enjoyed this too. But I could be biased. I love the whole film franchise. The only downfall to this film (and most of the others) is how long it is. It got to the point where I was sat uncomfortably in the cinema. But you could argue that is was worth it. It does move slightly too slow for my liking but I do think that if it was any different, it wouldn't be the same. Because there is a fair bit of action, its nice to have a scene that's easier to watch. If that makes sense. The ending of this fil was perfect. I know there are more films after this one but if it ended there, I would've been happy. No spoilers but I said 'Awww' out loud in the cinema...

That's my thoughts anyway, very messy but still my thoughts.

I have loved these little trips to the cinema lately, I think I'd like to make it more of a regular thing. I haven't been in so long but I remembered how much I love it. It is expensive but its so worth it, just for the experience.

I hope you all have a smashing week.

Love.

Hey guys,

This week has been lovely and relaxing. I am definitely ready for the summer break. Although I am currently feeling pretty inspired lately so hopefully I will get my final project to a better standard than the rest of my assignments. Anyway, before I begin this post I will leave a link to my previous post HERE, where I spoke about the new Makeup Revolution palette.

So recently I have been following a lot more 'body positivity' Instagram accounts - mainly plus size -  to try and fully feel great in the skin that I have and to embrace it. These people are fantastic, inspirational. They get hate daily and yet still post videos and photos to inspire us. I find that amazing. They're definitely strong women.

Sadly I did stumble across a video that started out great, really supportive and such but then she said something about thin people. I wont quote or try to because I'm not 100% sure on what she said. But she basically referred to bigger women being better than the rest. That's just not fair in my eyes. When trying to be such a role model, you should accept everyone. Every size and shape is beautiful. We should be equals in my opinion.

I saw an illustration on Instagram that said, 'big tits are cute, Small tits are cute, big butts are cute, small butts are cute, big tummies are cute, small tummies are cute'. And I love it. That is the sort of thing that should be shared around. Not that one is superior than the other.


I have also just watched the One Love Manchester concert on BBC1. I can honestly say I'm proud to be British. The attack in Manchester and London were both awful, but seeing at the concert, how we all truly come together really made me so proud. I must say I teared up a fair few times. I loved Ariana before everything happened but now I just adore her even more. I have so much respect for her. For her to hold a concert with other supporting artists, raising money for the people affected is amazing. She could've done nothing. I also read online that she is paying for the funerals of the victims - I obviously don't know how true this is but if it is I'm sure that's such a big help for the family and friends.

I hope this strong bond we seem to have at the moment stays with us. Love truly does overcome hate.

And with that I shall leave you.

Adios amigos!xo

P.S. please be safe x
