Seen's as I've only just started to commit to this blog, I thought it would be nice to give myself a little challenge were I post my monthly faves! I love watching Youtuber's unveiling their monthly obsessions so I thought WHY THE HELL NOT?
Also, because it's my first official post on this theme, i'll keep it short and sweet!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Highlighter: STARLIGHT.
Okay, if you don't know what ABH is or you've never heard of it...what fucking planet are you on please? I discovered this through all the bloody make up tutorials I watch, and when I see the state of the pigment I was like...WHY THE FUCK DON'T I HAVE THIS?!?!
It retails for £28 and you can buy it from Cult Beauty, or if you're feeling adventurous and dont mind waiting for what feels like a year for your shit to arrive, you can also but it from the american make up site Sephora (loads more colour choices with it being an american brand)
If you're as obsessed with make up as me, you should never question yourself or anybody else as to why they have more than one Highlighter, because one is never enough okay?
This Highlighter was £3.00 from Super drug (UK), its fucking amazing okay? The pigment speaks for itself okay...
You're a fucking liar if you deny wanting his highlighter! :')
If you're one of these people, please leave you filthy muggle.
In no particular order I have made a little montage of GIFs of the feels we all go through, probably on a daily basis!
Sitting there on a Sunday night and realising its Monday in a matter of hours.
When you're on a night out and your jam comes on.
When your name gets announced for Karaoke and your mates a fewmin' coz' they wanna get off.
When you have an annoying relative/friend that you just cant be assed speaking to and they go in for the awkward hug.
When you're in a club and kiss a stranger in front of your mates, and your bezzie lets the whole group know you just necked someone.
When you're dying to leave the club your mate suggested because its a dive, and turns out its closing time because the lights come on! (Not that dives are shit, my favourite place is The K and The Raz so I cant say anything...)
When you see a dead fit lad from across the room...
When a cocky lad thinks he's fucking hilarious, and you just wanna...
When you're forever alone and all your mates are getting off with other people and you're just there with your drink like...
When a lad you used to see walks in and you're trying to get your mates attention...
I know these were mainly based on nights out, but come on we can all relate to these!
If you're a big Harry Potter fan like me, here's a link to the official Sorting Ceremony in which you can be sorted into one of the Houses at Hogwarts!
I literally haven't written anything on here since January, as Jeffree Star would say 'It's been a moment'...
I've been majorly procrastinating and not bothered to write anything on here, mainly because I've been too lazy to do so, plus I've spent all my 'free' time watching Make-up Tutorials.
Anywhom, I'm writing a bucket list so I'll put that up as soon as anyone can be assed reading it :)
If you know me well, you'll understand the absolute hell I've had with my hair over the past four fucking years.
I've been many colours over the years; some on purpose, some by accident. It's all trial and error if you're not a professional. Me personally, I have never been to a hair dresser to get a colour on it, I just don't trust it! The amount of horror story's I've heard where hair dressers have fried someone's scalp with bleach or put a wrong colour dye onto your head literally made not want to ever go the hairdressers (ngl haven't been in 2 and a half years, my mum cuts my hair).
I prefare myself to do it, that way I can blame it on myself because I know it's me who's made the mistake, I honestly feel so much better about the situation.
I'll say it now, In all the years I've been dying my hair; I've never made a mistake. Before doing anything I did my research on the type of dyes to use, technique and the little odd bits like what conditioner to use afterwards I'm quite organised like that tbh.
I've been plum purple, blue, midnight blue, black, peroxide ginger and bleach blonde (the peroxide ginger and bleach blonde being the error).
It took me a little over 4 years to completely strip black hair dye out of my hair, and this consists of growing it out as much as I possibly could and then bleaching the little bits left.
To cut a boring 4 year story short, if you're considering dying your hair black...PLEASE DONT DO IT! YOU'LL GET SICK OF IT AFTER TWO YEARS LIKE I DID! PLUS ITS EXPENSIVE AS FUCK TO KEEP UP WITH IF YOU HAVE NATURAL BLONDE HAIR! SORRY ABOUT THE SHOUTY CAPITALS BUT THIS IS HOW I WOULD SAY IT IRL!
I've now only decided to dip dye the ends of my hair purple, when I can be bothered I will do a little tutorial on how to do it, but right now I'm just showing it off.
I feel like this blog was a little bit pointless, I did warn you in the description. Not even soz, I'm made up with the colour of it!
So, it's now 2016. All of the resolutions I made over the years, well I can honestly say I never fulfilled any of them. I always set my self a resolution that consists of quitting smoking or start eating more healthier and actually attending a gym instead of paying rediculous amounts of money each month, when I haven't even been to the induction yet....still not achieving it.
I feel that a lot of people come up with a New Years Resolution as a sort of path way to a more happier year than the one before, but does it really? I mean it probs wouldnt have had a huge impact on your life anyway because you didn't even begin to try it? You procrastinated your way through the year and kept on telling yourself 'Yeah, I'm going to start me NYR on Monday' when really you couldn't be bothered...and that's okay!
Instead of not feeling like you've let yourself down, or if you don't give a flying f anyway, just don't make a NYR in the first place! Who the hell are we trying to impress anyway? Just take each day as it comes and set goals that are fun and enjoyable, because let's face it...resolutions are bullshit. They're not fun, they're not cool they're just ways in which we try and better our selves, but it's fails each time.
If you ever made a resolution and you stuck to it, congrats! If you're like me and are lazy and keep putting it off then congrats too! 2015 was a boss year for me, and I wouldn't change it for anything! And it was mainly because I didn't set a resolution...I had goals I wanted to achieve and I done them because I had no pressure weighing me down.
So, as Shia LaBeouf would say...JUST DO IT!
And also some wise words from the great Joe Strummer 'The future is unwritten'
Seen's as this is my first ever blog, I thought I would take all of my 2015 memories and shove them all into one big post.
Now, this is year has been pretty productive for me; mainly because I never leave the house (I know, I'm weird but idc)
So, lets begin.
JANUARY
Slipknot Concert @ Liverpool Echo Arena, Thursday 22nd January.
Okay...I need a minute.
Right, Slipknot are my all time favourite Nu/Heavy Metal band in the whole entire world. After seeing them live for the very first time in January, my whole music world was near complete! I've been listening to Slipknot and Stone Sour since my little Goth phase back in 08' (yeah lets not talk about that) and I can honestly say, Corey Taylor (Lead Singer of both bands) makes cry...His voice sends chills down my spine...not to mention how fucking hot he is, anyway back to the story.
Right before the concert I was rrrrotten, I had only been drinking since 5 in the afternoon...but on an empty stomach which is boss lol.
I'll cut a long story short, I sobered up as soon as I heart their intro song 'XIX'. When Corey started to sing I started screaming, like howling, like only dogs could hear me at that point.
I literally lost it.
The highlight of the convert was for 'Spit it out' when everybody had to get down on the ground. Clown, one of the percussionists in the band had jumped off stage and walked through the crowd with one of his drums, I'm pretty sure he had an argument or a fight with one of the fans because there was a commotion where he was, and this was literally right behind me.
I can honestly say that this was the best night of my life. For ages I wanted to go one of their concert's but my mum didn't want me too because she thought it was to dangerous haha! But the honest truth? Its one of the friendliest crowds I've ever been in, everybody is there for the same reason; Music. Not a lot of people understand bands like Slipknot because they think its too scary or whatever- somebody actually said the to me once- and because not a lot of it doesn't run mainstream like House Music or Hip-Hop, it gets a bad rep for being violent or too aggressive...but everyone in the arena is pretty much in the same boat, they're the friendliest people you'll ever meet!
Soz for boring you like.
Anyway, next!
JUNE
Download Festival, June 12-14th 2015
Down-fucking-Load!
This was the Highlight of my year. Living in the UK and seeing Slipknot TWICE IN ONE YEAR is a fucking miracle on our side!
Me and my mate Vicky had stayed in Donington Park where it was held for the whole five days the festival was on, and it was fucking boss!
We'd arrived on the Wednesday. The first two days where amazing and the weather was perfect, everybody was rotten and having a brilliant time.
Then it came, Friday 12th. The first picture you see in the collage is of me and Vicky and her friend from the Kiss Kruise, Clem. That picture is of us queuing to meet Corey Taylor. This was a dream come fucking true; My idol. We had to buy his book -which I didn't mind because I had his previous books- just to meet him. So 4 and a half hours had passed...*WOAHH, HOLD ON A MIN, WHY DID YOU WAIT THAT LONG JUST TO MEET HIM YOU ASK?* Well, because hes my fucking hero thats why....
The bastards only went and cut the que off RIGHT WHERE WE WERE STANDING. But thats okay, he probs had a lot on his plate, the fact he had to get ready for the set tonight, probs eat and get hydrated and stuff, its fine Corey, I forgive you.
To this day, Vicky's still fuming haha.
The actual Slipknot set was mind blowing, it started to rain...and then it started to pour...then absolutely lash it down. Earlier on in the day I had changed into converse...BIG FUCKING MISTAKE. When it had finished, I was ankle deep in slushy mud. WORTH IT.
Here's a what it looked like:
Ngl, it was fucking awesome, It felt like I was in a movie hahaha.
I was that rotten when they where playing, I'd rang my sister singing -well screaming more- 'Plug in Baby'...Yep.
Btw I use the word 'Rotten' alot, if you're reading this and dont know what it means, here is a definition:
ˈrɒt(ə)n/
Adjective:
1. Suffering from Decay
Informal:
2. Very Bad
Adverb:
3. To an extreme degree: Very much.
Rotten: DRUNK
and in this case, meets all three definitions, I.e:
Suffering from decay: The hangover the next
morning from being 'rotten'
Very bad: v good decision at the time, not v good
right now, v bad.
To an extreme degree, Yes! rotten to an extreme
degree in my case.
OCTOBER
BINGE Book tour, Tyler Oakley Meet & Greet Friday 30th October @ Waterstones, Liverpool.
Tyler is my Queen. I went to get my book signed all by myself (independent woman an' all that...).
I met these two lovely girls when queueing and had the best laugh with them, thanks for keeping me company if you're reading!
When I finally got to Tyler, he just had this glow coming off him, plus I've never seen such flawless skin ever before.
I just looked at him and said 'Can I have a hug please?'...total fan girl melt down, fucking horrendous hahaha! He just laughed and said 'Of course!' and gave me the biggest hug ever!
This is the picture I got with him...he took it for me, such a gent!
I have a second picture where he is laughing at me because I started to make this awkward but really excited face...then I just walked off and he was like 'Aww okay byeee...'.
Sorry for being so awkward Tyler...
Xoxox
NOVEMBER
The Amazing Tour Is not on Fire! Liverpool Empire Theatre, Thursday November 5th 2015.
This picture is literally the only one I could get. You where practically thrown out if they caught you taking pictures of the live show, I tried taking snide ones but there where stewards with torches ready to burn me at the steak...anyway!
This show was worth all of it, I've never laughed so much in all of my life. They said they where filming it and its going to be released, so soz, I'm not putting in any spoilers you'll just have to wait. Impatient little buggers!
<3
So that's pretty much it!
Sorry for the long winded blog, but hopefully you enjoyed it because any blog after this wont be as exciting as I hardly ever leave the house, so apologies in advance!
