Hey guys,
 I hope you're all having a lovely start to your summer even though it's raining where I live...

Sleepy kitty

Daisies are my favourite <3

Making bouquets outside is wonderful

Roses are everywhere in my garden!

So yes, there are some photos that I took a couple of weeks ago.
 The last few were taken at the Eden Project,which Is a beautiful,beautiful place I went. Totally recommended :D
I hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures, I'm going on holiday tomorrow to Cyprus for two weeks which is crazy! I'm looking forward to it so much,but I still need to pack my hand luggage... I also haven't forgotten about the D.I.Y project I was talking about, but I did the project,took photos and then found that they wouldn't transfer onto my laptop for some reason -_- So that will be the first post I do after Cyprus.
 Love you all a lot, have a fantastic summer!

New things and mini update

Hey, just a quick post today to tell you that....

After about two months my links and about pages are finally working!
So yes, click on them and enjoy I guess!

There's so much happening this month I'm a bit in shock. I'm on holiday in two weeks to Cyprus so I guess i'm looking forward to that a lot. (two weeks without a blog post?? Ill work something out hopefully) I will come home so tanned ahh.
 And now we're left with two weeks of school, which I guess isn't that bad as no work is actually done on the last week ;) But then GCSE's start. And yes I am so excited to start them, but I still feel like I should be in year 6  intelligence wise....Like no test I ever really do in school is really good enough anymore :0 Meh, life goes on and doesn't wait for nobody.

I will be doing a little life update before I go away on holiday though. I will also be posting an early July favourites post, and on Saturday I will share some of my photography with you guys,which i'm a bit nervous about ?? . I will be posting an extremely fun fashion D.I.Y on Friday as I have a day off. Sooo excited about it oh my gosh, i'm so cool.
Also news wise, I'm getting braces on the 1st of September !?!( the day before i go back to school why) Oh gosh. Thats so soon, and i am definitely not ready to look like more of a 'eurgh' person :( I won't be one of those people who look pretty with them on which is sad. Although I am far too excited to pick bracket colours though. Maybe lilac or blue :)

Anyway I hope your week goes great! I have sports day on Friday which just means eating far too much junk with my friends.
Have lovely holidays.

Music Monday #4

Hello guys!I hope your week started amazingly (although i know Sunday is the start but nah)

This weeks music Monday is Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran.

This is from Ed's new album X or multiply. I bought the album literally the night it came out and haven't stopped listening to it since! I really do love the whole album but this one song might currently be my favourite.
 I really love the lyrics in this song i just feel that they've really been wrote with a lot of thought behind them and even more emotion. Which we all know is a common feature in Ed Sheeran songs.

This song just leaves me speechless, which I will admit doesn't happen much ;) and I love it so much i'ts unreal! I'm also v sad I'm not seeing him on tour but hey-ho, I shall still appreciate him whilst
crying on my laptop.

I hope you have a fantastic week! I love you all lots and lots
(edit made by me bc i have mad skills with fonts ye)

Music Monday And Summer Questions Tag

 

Hi guys!
 Sorry for slightly neglecting music Monday for a week (or maybe it was two??) I honestly didn't mean too! I was just so busy over half term and then I had no internet for near a week, and i think I have been in a permanent stress for two weeks! Nevertheless, This week's music Monday is here at last.
This weeks music Monday is Robbers by the 1975.
I have loved the 1975 ever since I heard chocolate on the Hollister playlist (lol) the start of last summer.
I then went home and bought the album, but I forgot I bought it for ages and only put it on my iPod last weekend! The whole album is absolutely amazing , but i think this is one of my favourite songs on it.
I really like this song as It's really relaxing but not so much that you want to fall asleep.
In the song there is also a really deep meaning. I wont bother to go into much detail about my person opinion on the meaning as i'd be here for a long time,and I don't think anybody actually cares.So I'm just going to take a quote from rock.rapgenius.com-The lovers are robbing each others happiness and chances in this world from one another.They keep giving each other second chances, “one more fights” only to rob new chances from one another.They cant move on and grow in love because they are so caught up on what they used to have therefore becoming robbers of new things to one another.

I also wanted to answer the summer questions tag that's been going around the beauty community.I saw the lovely Fee do this on her blog and though it was perfect!

1.  What's your favourite thing about Summer?

The weather is a major good point! I also REALLY like going on holiday with my family as it's just so different and exciting!

2.  Do you have a favourite Summer drink?

I love iced tea! And recently I have discovered cucumber water, which basically just washes out all un-natural toxins from your body. Which is great ;) and I have a slight cucumber addiction I think...

3.  Is there a location you like to go to each Summer?

I love to  go to the woods and into the countryside by myself and just walk and walk. I'm really lucky  that I live so close to many beautiful fields and farmland. I also love going to the beach with friends and family.

4.  Favourite makeup look for Summer?

I love the dewy look. So BB cream and groomed  brows are a great starting point. I also love a good cream blush in the summer, as if it's applied right it can last all day!

5.  Dresses or skirts?

I really like wearing both in summertime, but I don't have a preference. I just like wearing both, I like dresses as by just wearing a dress is a such a strong statement,but skirts are just so girly and gorgeous. Ahh I can't decide!

6.  Sandals or ballet pumps?

SANDALS definitely! I honestly think I own about 6 pairs.....So so pretty though. I love gladiator style sandals,and I would love a pair of birkenstocks but I can't see that happening as they come with a price tag :'( 

7.  Do you prefer to wear your hair up or down for Summer?

Up! Having hair that's sort of long I feel it a summer necessity to carry around 3 bobbles! Hahah. I do love beachy waves and having hair down though.

8.  Deep smokey eyes or bold lips?

I would say deep smokey eyes. I play around with eye shadows far more than I'd like to admit and I love wearing eye shadows to go out in! Plus I find a lot of lipsticks dry my lips out so much and never wear well.

9.  Favourite perfume for Summer?

I love, love, love wearing pretty floral and light perfumes I have recently been loving Taylor Swift's wonderstruck enchanted perfume as I t's simply wonderful and has elements of 'elegance' yet is still such a fun perfume! 

10.  Last but not least, favourite music for Summer?

Anything happy! I dont really know how to describe what I mean but any feel-good music is my go to summer music.At the moment my favourite feel-good song is Say it, just say it- The Mowglis. Such a happy and summery song ahh I just love it <3 (and yes this was the 'blended' sound track aha)

So yes there are my answers to the questions! I really liked answering them , they made me feel so summery ahh, cannot wait for summer now! Looking forward to anything in summer? What's your favourite thing about summer? Are you guys okay with my doing a double post? Tell me in the comments! I'd love to read them!

Thank-you so much for reading, have a great day!

Waterfall Braids

Hello guys, I hope you have all had a lovely start to the summer! It's suddenly become so hot !?!

I wanted to share with you guys one of my current favourite hair-styles.

I recently decided that I was bored of my go to hairstyles.Tired of having my hair in a high ponytail almost everyday, and I was certainly tired of having the 'after-high-ponytail-hair-strain'.

I have seen hundreds of different takes on the waterfall braid all over the internet,and last weekend I decided to give it a go. On my first attempt at a waterfall braid Instead of plaiting my hair I twisted it together,as I thought it would give my hair a more summery look, And I really liked it!

The next day I did the pain waterfall braid as my hair was more wavy, and the hair had more body to it.

I was a bit negative when I saw those pictures of girls with beautiful hair with perfect braids on the internet,but I feel that now I've tried it it's so easy! And believe me if I can do it with my hair (no shape :| ) anyone can do it!

I think this is a nice alternative to the 'half up half down' hairstyle, and it definitely

                     has a slightly more 'girly' feel to it- great for summer :)

                     So I really enjoyed sharing this with you, please tell me if you would like me to do anymore                            hair style posts, as I really would love to!

Thank you for reading, have a lovely day!
