Thinking time...

Hello everybody...

So it's the 1st of February the month of "love" but to me it's just a usual month. Today's post is going to be a more chatty/thinking post as I feel like I need to get something of my chest. However I do not want you to worry I just feel that express my feelings. 

So I have been doing a lot of thinking recently and my minds full of lots of questions that make my mind wonder. One of the first question that's been whizzing around my head is "love".

There are many questions like "what is love?" And "how do you know when your in love?" But also questions like "can you just instantly stop being in love or just it slowly fizzle out". And the truth is I believe  that only you know what/ when you are in love  and know one can decided that for you. 

You may ask why am I writing this kind of post today, and the truth is that there are so many people in relationships yet there are so many people coming out of them and it just makes me think that are people jumping into relationships before they are ready or do they truly think they have found the one. 

I am not an expert in Love but then again who is?  I just felt the need to get it off my chest as I have been thinking a lot  about different things and I suppose writing on here makes my head clearer!

Thank You  all for reading, leave comments down below what you think of love, I would be really interested to see how other look at it.

What's on my IPhone 5c...

Hello  again everyone... 

So I have had my IPhone now for just over a year, and I have completely fell in love with it! I have decided to do a what's on my IPhone but I guess you already knew that by the title.


This is the first page when you unlock it.  On the top line I have music, it's the very first on because I simply don't use it! I mainly use my iPod for music so it not really a necessary app. Next to that is my clock which I use for my alarms so I'm not late in the mornings.  After the clock is maps and the iTunes Store, I don't really use these as much but I find the maps are useful when I am ever lost! 

The next line is apps that I don't really use  except the email which I use but I'm awful at checking my emails! The third line is probably my most used line on this page, this line helps me oraganise my life and let's me write down any idea I have! 

The final line is consists of camera, which I love on here; then settings, navigation and extra which consists of the apps that you can't delete as they come with the phone.


I literally never use any of these apps in either of these folders! 


On the second page I have  my main social medias and my photography folder.  Unfortunately my Facebook is a private personal account but I do have a snapchat, twitter and instagram  which my users are adventures205 on all social medias! (Not self promoting ahah) 


On the first line I have a folder saying stuff (I didn't know what else to call it).  In this folder  I have  2 games flappy birds and reverse the odds. Yes I know what you are all thinking why has she still got flappy birds but I still love it although I am not very good at it! I also love reverse the odds because not only does it help research for cancer it also is a great game!  Also in this folder I have blogger and bloglovin which i love the fact that  I can keep up to date, this has only been a recent download so expect more post to come your way!  Then finally in this folder I have  sound cloud which I like to listen to covers of songs or remixes of songs. 
 In the next folder is all of my photography apps that I like to edit my pictures on. 

 The first app is a fun app where you can change the hair colour on your picture,  this I think is a great app when your bored.  
After photo is where I add words to my photos, I don't really use it as much as I should do really but it is always handy! 

Whitgram and square ready are apps that make your photos and videos square so that they can fit Into the Instagram border. And finally Polagram is an app that prints your photos from your phone, Instagram and Facebook  and makes it into a Polaroid shape! 

Thanks for reading, comment down below what your favourite apps are or what apps are good so I can check them out!

So my Women Crush of this Month is...

...Emma Watson.

Emma Watson is a beautiful British actor and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, who co-hosted a special event for UN Women’s HeForShe campaign. The HeForShe campaign is a unity movement for gender equality. This involves upon men and boys to help end the persisting inequalities faced by women and girls globally. All though her U.Nspeech was in September I still think that she is an amazing woman.  (To those who haven't watched the speech I've linked it in!)

I also watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower which she plays the character Sam.  This was the first time I had watched this film and I would definitely watch it again however Emma’s most famous character she has played is by far my favourite is Hermione Granger.

 

So that my women crush Wednesday what’s your? Leave a comment down below also let me know what you think of this idea!

Something New.... Man Crush Mondays


Hello again everyone,

Yet again this week I am trying something new on here, I have an idea that the first Monday of every month I would do a man crush Monday and the same with the first Wednesday of the month will be Women crush Wednesday, however it’s not going to be randomly selecting people it will be based on things that have happened, things I have seen/ heard for example films I have seen.

 

So this month’s Man Crush Monday will be...

...Channing Tatum.

In the month of October I have re-watched 21 jump street many times, I have also watched 10 Years , Dear John and finally She’s the man. All four films include Channing Tatum so that why he is my Man crush Monday.  Not only is he good looking male, but he is also a great actor in my eyes; the next film that I want to watch with him in is White House Down.

So there’s my Man crush Monday, look out for this week’s Women Crush Wednesday. Also comment who your Man crush Monday is, I’ll be interested to see.

Something Different ......Liebster Award!


Hello again everyone,

I would just like to say a big thanks too Anna from awkwardgirlx for the Liebster award. I know this is a bit different from my usual post but it’s a great way to make new friends in the blogger community.


Here is my set of questions:

1.)    What made you want to start blogging?

My blog is something I really want to get going for a long time; knowing that living life to the fullest, being able to say yes to opportunities and being able to share them with people who are interested.

 

2.)    Favourite makeup product/brand?

I’m not going to lie but I’m a bit of a bronzer addict! My favourite Bronzer is the Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder from the Body shop.

 



3.)    What's your favourite song right now?

There are so many songs that I am loving right now; it so difficult to choose one. My favourite Artists are The Vamps and I love their new album (Meet The Vamps Album) but I do love their cover of Mr Brightside.
 
 
 
4.)    Why do you like blogging?

I love Blogging because you are able to express your feelings/emotions and your life experiences to people that will enjoy knowing about it. I also love blogging because it makes you meet new people.

 

5.)    Describe yourself in one word

Friendly?

 

6.)    Favourite movie?

Pitch Perfect or Taken (I know 2 complete different types of films)

 

7.)    What is one celebrity that inspires you and why?

I don’t really know if you can class Zoe Sugg as a celebrity but she was the first blog I started reading all those years ago and I still read her post now. She inspires me because she has grown from anxious teen who wouldn’t dare to go out or do anything unless she is wearing makeup and now she embraces the world sometimes not wearing any at all and this confidence has grown throughout blogging and YouTube.


 

8.)    Favourite perfume scent?

Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs

Halloween Zombie Make up Tutorial


Hello everyone,

So my favourite time of year has come around ever so quickly, meaning that I have a chance to dress up.  In today’s post I will show you how I got from this

 

Too this:

 

As you can probably tell from the title I will be showing you a Halloween tutorial of a zombie Disclaimer I am no professional makeup artist, I thought this would be quite a fun idea to play with.

So the first step was to do my normal face foundation routine, however instead of using my normal coloured foundation I decided to use lighter foundation so that it gives the affect of being dead.

 

I then set this foundation with Rimmel London Stay Matte.

 

Then using the sleek natural pallet I used the lightest creamy white shade to enhance my paleness.  Using a fluffy brush I swept the colour across my forehead, down the bridge of my nose and on my chin area.

 

After that I use a bright green colour from my Marks and Spencers palette that I use every year for Halloween. I put this colour all over my lids, into my crease and in my inner corners. I then drag this colour further down under my eyes.

 
 
 
 
I then use the dark blue colour from the same pallet  and blend the green and blue together to create a bruised kind of effect or at least try to. After blending the dark blue I use a light blue to high light the brow bone and the inner corner.

 

The next colour I use is the dark purple colour; I used this just like the dark blue and blended it into the green and blue.  Keep blending the colours together to get your desired look.


After getting your desired bruised look, I used a raspberry shade eyeshadow along the water line and along the lash line. I thought this was affective because it made the eyes seem to be irritated, I then went along the waterline with a black eye liner. I then added one coat of mascara without curling my lashes.






Then for my lips I used a Rimmel London lasting finish by Kate lipstick in the shade 08 Rosseto and then added a black eye shadow on top to tie in all the colours.  I also used the back eye shadow as a bronzer to define my cheekbones.


 

And finally for my hair I decided to make it as big and messy as I possibly could. Another idea that you could do is tie your hair up in to bunches and dress as a zombie school girl?
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
So that it my finished zombie make up. I really enjoyed doing this make up tutorial so if you want to see more looks then comment on what you would.
