Hello everyone, I am really sorry for the lack of posting yet again, I have been extremely busy with everything, but as it is half term now I will be hopefully doing more hauls and extra things as my mother tells me we'll be going shopping soon, so fingers crossed that will happen! But, I just thought I'd let you guys know what I've been so busy with.
For the past three weeks at college we've been doing the directing festival which is when you work in small groups of 2-5 and perform a show on the last week of the directing festival. The whole point of this section of our two years is to react with our second and first years. The first years (which is my year) perform a play that your directer chooses for you to do (the second years) which we will do the same next year (choose a play to direct with our future first years).
My directer was Rob and my two cast members were Izzie and Freyea and it was so much fun working with them and the show went incredible and it was just amazing. Also, everyone else's performances were fantastic and the best feeling was coming into the hall and hearing all your team clapping and cheering because you know that everyone is supporting each other and that is the best feeling when you're a performing arts student. So that pretty much took over my life for the past few weeks.
Secondly, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! (I know it was yesterday, haha) I just hope you all had a great day and night whether you spent it with a partner/boyfriend/husband/girlfriend/wife or friend/friends. I spent it with my girl Heather and we had such a good night and laugh and it was such a lovely way to spend Valentines Day! We also gave one another small gifts, I bought her a chocolate heart lolly and some smelly soap and she gave me a book called What Alice Forgot and it looks super interesting, so I might start that today. She also bought me a chocolate rose and a new mug that says 'Bee Mine' on it! Thank you Heather! They're so cute!
Valentine's Day hair and makeup ^^
Just for a little extra info you guys, I am having my haircut on Wednesday and then the dentist on Wednesday, ugh! (kill me now)
I'll talk to you all very soon, bye for now!

Hello everyone; it is now February which means January is done and dusted, which means it's time for, my January Favourites!!
I don't know about you but I felt that January has flown by and not much has happened really, except for college nothing exciting has really happened. Anyway, on with my favourites of January...
1. Mango and Papaya Body Spray!
I got this spray for Christmas from my girlie Jess and I absolutely love it! I have pretty much been wearing it non-stop through January because it smells refreshing and makes me feel more awake when I smell it. I will probably wear it a lot more in the summer though. But I've been loving this very much so thank you Jess.
2. Elena Gilbert Vervain Necklace
When I first got this I thought maybe it was something from the Vampire Diaries and then I started watching the boxset and it actually was and I'm not going to lie, I did fangirl just a little bit. Anyway, I've been loving this necklace from Heather, which I was also given for Christmas.
I just love how unique and vintage it is because I don't have any other necklace like this and it's from my favourite show so I cannot complain! Thank you very much Heather, I love it more than you will understand.
3. Bubble Bath and Shower Crème
I received a lot of these for Christmas but these two are my favourites out of them all.
I love... Mango & Papaya
I adore the mango and papaya bubble bath because it makes your bathroom smell fresh and inviting and it creates so many bubbles
Fruity Berry Foam Bath
I love this one because the smell reminds me of a drink I used to have when I was younger and the smell is quite rich and strong but still creates loads of bubbles and smells beautiful.
4. Kodaline: In A Perfect World
I've wanted this album for ages and the finally my mum went and bought it and I absolutely love it. Every single song on this album is perfect and Kodaline are just a lovely band and they write beautiful songs. Kodaline are definitely my new favourite band of 2014 and I just love them!
I would advise you all to go out and buy this album because it's perfect!
(I have also been loving OneRepublic: Native but unfortunately I do not have an image of it because it's in the car, haha)
5. Rings
These three rings are what I have mainly been wearing this month but I really want to find some different ones to wear as these rings are very much going out rings, I wouldn't say they're everyday rings. But either way I've gotten back into rings as in December I didn't want to wear any jewellery and now I am getting back into rings, necklaces and bracelets etc; I've been really loving rings this month.
6. The Vampire Diaries boxset
I already knew this would be in my January favourites because The Vampire Diaries is just too perfect for life basically. I have been loving this so much and I've been watching it non-stop and I am going to watch some more of it today.
I am quite surprised of how quick you actually get through it because I've watched all of season 1 and season 2 but I've only been watching it for a few weeks. So far season 3 has been amazing and I can't wait for season 4 although I have seen most of it I think, it's weird to know my obsession started at season 4! haha! But I am also buzzing for when season 5 gets back on my TV screen here in the UK! But overall, been obsessed with this!
7. Beauty Box brush set
As you can see all of these brushes have had a lot of usage through January and they will probably will throughout the rest of this year. (I am sorry that they are dirty as I haven't cleaned them yet) but they are small brushes, so they do not take up all the space in your makeup bag, they are nice and soft which feels lovely against your skin.
They were white and pink as you can see from the middle one as that is the one I use for blusher, but all the others have lost their colour. But I loved them because of the white with the pink ends as they looked so beautiful, cute and girlie. Overall, been adoring these brushes this month.
8. Maybelline: Big Eyes
I haven't had this for a long time, only the end leg of January but I absolutely love it! It is my favourite mascara at the moment (mainly because I've thrown all my others out, haha). It does everything it says it does and it lengths your lashes, what more could you want?
If you guys want to see more in detail about this product look at my review below this post.
9. This pinky highlight shade in MUA: Glamour Nights
I have absolutely adored this shade for highlighting my face: down the nose, cupids bow, chin, and the highest points of my cheeks.
I used to use Shy in MUA's: Undress Me Too pallet but I felt that it was too shimmery and made me look caked as it is an eye-shadow and they're not meant for your face. So instead, I thought I'd give this one a go and I just love it! I know it's not a proper highlighting shade but it does the same job and makes your face look really nice and glows perfectly in the light and makes your face look beautiful! I've just really been loving highlighting.
10. The Tomorrow People
Okay guys, this is probably my biggest favourite of the whole of January because this show is freaking amazing!
I decided to start watching it because I wanted to get into a new show and it was also from the creaters of The Vampire Diaries, so I thought I'd watch it and from the first episode I was obsessed! I love this show so much and it is nothing like I have ever watched and the actors and actresses in it are also amazing.
Every Wednesday is a joy for me to know this incredible show is on and I am just obsessed with The Tomorrow People. Can't wait for more series of it to come and for all the series to come out on DVD etc. This is probably my new favourite show now!
Okay guys that's all for my January favourites and hopefully I'll have some completely different ones for February. I'm not really sure what I am going to post next, I'm sure I'll figure something out. Anyway, for now, goodbye and I'll talk to you soon!
