Hey guys!

In my mind, I have always had this constant debate as to what to do with my hair. Some days I want to go all Kylie Jenner and chop it off so it's the length of my shoulders. Other days, I will say 'Noooo, I love having long hair because I can do so much with it'. I can never decide! 

My hair length is currently just below my elbows, with no layers at all and a middle parting. I have had layers in the past, however I was never too fond of it because it would look nice once I left the hairdressers, but as soon as I washed my hair and it dried, I felt as though the layers did not look as nice.

I have been looking at several different hairstyles as well as different dyed hair in which I could maybe get some inspiration and change my hair up a bit in 2015, but we all know that I'll end up keeping it the same. Enjoy!

Hey guys!

So I recently purchased the Rimmel London Match Perfection Illuminating Concealer as my previous concealer had ran out and I just could not find the concealer I had owned at first, anywhere! 

So I saw this in Boots and I have heard quite positive feedback about this concealer so I just had to try it out for myself! It is the Rimmel London Match Perfection Illuminating Concealer in the shade 010 IVORY.

• Covers up any blemishes.
• Easy to blend in using fingers.
• Does not go powdery or cause dry skin when I apply it. 
• Does not look cakey when you apply it onto the skin.
• Brightens my skin.

Hey guys!

So I hope you all have had a great New Years! So 2014 is now over and I find it hard to believe that it is 2015 already and we are now already on the 6th January! 

I'm definitely going to make this year a lot better than 2014 so let's hope this year is a great one!

Rather than saying that they are New Year Resolutions, I have set myself some goals for 2015 which I am starting or continuing on from 2014 because I want to keep it up for as long as possible, a few of which will be ones that I am carrying on. A lot of these are mainly long term goals which I have set for myself and I know that they won't be easy, but I am determined to carry them out and keep them going!

1. Blog a lot more than I did in 2014
Blogging is one of those things I am really enjoying ever since I started back in June 2014. I feel as though it's a place where I can express myself in several ways, whether it be makeup looks (I am in the process of writing so many!), or lifestyle related posts similar to my Overcoming Insecurities post which I written back in October 2014 (you can read it here). I feel as though I have a lot to express, but it takes me a while to process it so I can write it down properly, this is why I have 33 blog posts published, but over 15 unpublished because I am in the middle of writing these!. But hey, you learn as you go along! 

2. Overcome my insecurities + Become more confident
I have been insecure about myself for as long as I can remember. I was a happy child from Primary school until around Year 8 in Secondary school. Something changed then about how I began to feel and see myself and I can state quite a few reasons as to what caused that change. Over the past two years, I have managed to slowly overcome those insecurities, but there are still a lot of days where I feel self conscious which does upset me. Recently, I have just been tired of feeling insecure about myself and my lack of confidence in certain situations. I know that it can't happen instantly overnight, but my goal for 2015 is to learn to become content with myself as well as grow my confidence, speak up for myself a lot more and just be happy and positive like I was in primary school. 

3. Become fitter & healthier
This was included in my Health and Fitness post I had written. But I am wanting to become a lot healthier and fitter in 2015 and for the long term of my life. This includes exercising a lot as well as starting to eat healthier.This doesn't mean completely stopping eating junk food, just cutting down a lot more and eating a lot more healthier foods. I have been working out since September 2013 but there tends to be times where I stop really quickly or slowly begin to start stopping. This year I want to be able to keep working out at least 5 out of the 7 days of the week and hopefully keep it up in the long run and not stop!

4. Become better at make-up 
Make-up is one of the things that my blog is about, however, I feel as though I haven't written any make-up look posts, mainly because it does take me quite a long time to get everything prepared and write step-by-step instructions as to how I did a certain look or eye look. This is why I have been considering doing videos for how I do a certain look and I have been considering this for a very long time but I just can't bring myself to do them. Maybe sometime this year!

5. Be open to more opportunities
In 2014, I had a lot of opportunities given to me, whether these were from family to go off and do things with other family members or cousins or since I started my blog and had gotten emails to try new things. However, I was quick to say no because I would end up thinking 'what if something goes wrong'. This year, I have decided to become more open to trying and taking part in new opportunities. And instead of thinking 'what if something goes wrong', I have been told by a very close cousin of mine that 'I should always think about the positive side of any opportunities I am given because I never know when it could change my life'. And it definitely does make me think 'what if I did take the opportunities I was given back in 2014?'

6. Save up!!!
If you know me really well, you would know that I prefer to save my money rather than spend it and over the years ever since I was 5 leading up to now, I have been given money for Christmas, my birthday, Diwali, Raksha Bandhan as well as money from doing things around the house. And I have been saving saving saving by putting all of these into a piggy bank I have, despite me being incredibly tempted to spend it at certain times, I am so glad I did decide to save over the years because something I want to do when I turn 18 is travel and visit a new place, whether this be with a friend or a cousin! And because I have been saving up since the age of 5, it definitely has given me a lot of time to save up as well as me still having 2 more years to go! Something which is on my wishlist to hopefully buy this year is a new camera so I can take better quality photographs for my blog. The camera I am hoping to buy is mainly the Canon 1100D or 7D which I have been wanting for quite a long time.

7. It's not the end of the world
This I included in my 14 Things I Learnt in 2014 post. Recently, I have drifted apart from friends of 11-14 years and if I am honest, I am fine with it! This also applies for school. One bad grade is not the end of the world and you have your whole life ahead of you and the world has so many opportunities to offer to you. You just have to seize them at the right moment!



I hope you enjoyed reading this post and also have a great 2015! What New Year's goals have you set yourself? I'd love to know! 

Hey guys!

So it's been longer than I usually would write a post, but I have been soooo busy this Christmas, however I have managed to find time to write one! I also hope you all had an incredible Christmas with your family and friends!

This is a follow-up post to my previous post I did called '14 Things I Learnt in 2014' which you can read here if you haven't done so.





...and as I'm writing this post, I'm reminiscing this year all over again and I cannot believe how fast this year has actually gone. You could say I have an equal amount of positive memories and negative memories from this year, it's basically been an emotional roller coaster of incredible good moments and some rather crappy moments. There have been times where I have felt incredibly emotional or so confused or many days where I just feel really down. But from all of this, 2014 as well as 2013 have been incredibly eye opening, both positively and negatively, as well as unforgettable in a positive way. So much has happened and I have found out that there is a lot more to people and the world than meets the eye. 

BUT, despite it all, I have decided to end this year on a positive note rather than a negative note and I am actually sort of glad that everything that has happened this year, happened. 

At the start of this year, I decided to continue my education at college after completing my GCSE's and I'll admit, I was terrified because I had no clue who out my friends would be going and if I would make friends on the course I am doing, the reason being that I am very shy and I find it difficult to introduce myself to new people and present myself out there. This also adds onto one of my 2015 goals which is to become more confident and learn to be content with myself and who I am. I have so many different ideas and creations, I want to be able to put my ideas and opinions out there and even if people do not agree, I want them to give constructive criticism in ways in which I can improve! 

But since I started in September, I have made quite a few friends as well as still being friends with my friends from my previous school because I found out they were attending the same college as me too! I have learnt great lessons and I have found out that people who you'd think would stay in your life forever, won't. No matter how close you are or were. And I'm so okay with that! I have found that eventually, friends go down different paths and make different friends and so do you.



If I am being honest, I cannot wait for 2015 to begin. Yes, 2014 has been good, but I would love for 2015 to be 1000x better than this year has been. And I don't really do new years resolutions, instead I've set myself goals for 2015. A few of these being that I am definitely going to write more blog posts a lot more often and improve the content that I am writing about as well as stop procrastinating with things and a lot more! But if I just say it in general, I want 2015 to be a positive and happy year. I also want to be able to be open to more opportunities and say YES to them! 

Hey guys!

Hey guys!

So I know I said that I wouldn't be writing many blog posts for the next few weeks due to me being a lot more busy with college work, but I just couldn't resist and I just had to write one!

This is something I thought I could introduce monthly rather than weekly! I absolutely love listening to music and sharing some of my favourite music with others. I managed to squeeze this one in and be able to write it despite it being shorter than my usual posts.
