Hey everyone!
For what seems like forever, I have been an extremely terrible blogger! (Im sorry... please forgive me) I have been super busy with, well life. Life just runs away without you realising sometimes, before you know it it's the middle of 2015!
But I promise I will get back to blogging more, I've missed talking about random things with you. However I feel a change is needed on this blog and my posts will become different from the ones I've posted prerivoiusly. (I hope this is okay with you guys)
Recently I have noticed so many of my friends getting enagaded, moving into their own places and getting amazing jobs, which made me quesion just how fast life has gone past. One moment I am sat in an English lesson at shcool reading Shakespeare, the next Im being an 'adult'...or so I'm trying my best to be.
I often wonder why life zips past us so quickly, maybe beacuse we dont realise how important the things are to us in that moment of time. Or beacuse our lives are so controlled by others influences and the socail media we brush past things, that usally mean the most to us in the future.
I guess we should all try and apperciate our lives more. Even the small things that happen daily every day. I've always wondered if I should keep a dairy or a notebook of the events that happen in my day, then I would be able to relive those times in the future.
What do you guys think..
How do you keep your memories? A dairy? Scrapbook? Pictures?
I would love to hear from you.

Donkeys on a beach?!
Hey guys!
A few days ago I made the most of the
bright sunny weather in the UK and went on an adventure to a beach near by, with my
camera and some much needed sun-cream!
When I think of beaches in the UK, I generally
think of ice creams, sandy sandwiches, burnt skin and rain, but when I arrived
at the beach the other day to my surprise I saw donkeys! Not your average beach!
These furry
little guys were giving rides for children along the beach with a guide, now if
I was a small child again I would have gotten on one of those donkeys and would not
have gotten off! But due to my age (sad face) I couldn’t, so instead I opted to take
some snaps of them and give them a ruffle on the head!

Why do we take photographs?
Hey guys!
Being a photography student you’d think I
would have written something about photography by now. But oh no I haven’t. So
I thought today was the day I ventured into this!
Photography has become a really important part in people’s lives. To take a picture, now seems to be natural as if we were all born with a camera in hand and a smiling posing face ready for the ‘say cheese'.
But why do we take photographs?
This question always seems to pop up in many of my friends conversations, and I guess there are hundreds of answers to why we feel the need and enjoy photographing things.
To make memories, permanent
To create, relive and feel emotions
To document
To smile
Why do you take pictures?
Whatever the reason may be, photography is now a vital part in life, I personally would be lost with out a camera in my bag or near me! It's become essential like a good pair of shoes!

Jars of Sweet Sugar
Hey Guys!
A creative spruce up! As spring has now
sprung I decided that a few rooms in the house needed to be brightened up and loose the
slumber of winter, so I got creative!
Trying to reinvent a room can be difficult
especially if you don’t want to repaint, buy new furniture or you are on a
tight budget. So instead I got creative; using old glass jars and filling them
up with what ever I could find in my house!
How do it:
1) To start with find several glass jars, they
can be different shapes, sizes and colours, from jam jars too old food containers.
If you don’t have any glass jars knocking around the house, they are now really
easy to buy in many stores for only a couple of pounds!
2) Next choose random things to fill the
jars up with; ribbons, buttons, rolled up
pieces of coloured paper, old jewelry, dried flowers, fairy lights, sweets, shells,
glitter. You can fill the jars up with anything so let your imagination and
creativity run free!
Once finished place them in the room, I assure
you they give any room a pick me up, and can be tailored to your own taste and
style!

Models Own - Lip-Stix
Hey Guys!
Lately I have been on a massive buying
spree when it comes to beauty products and my newest purchase is the Models Own
Lip-Stix in the colour
Beauty Blush. I have seen so many other beauty brands
with their own versions of the ‘chubby stick/ lip crayon’ but, being a huge
Models Own fan already I thought I’d add this to my ever growing collection!
This pretty soft satin pink is perfect if
your lips need a little pick me up, and a wash of colour! As soon as I applied
the product my lips instantly felt nourished! I also found the colour lasted
all day even through lunch, which is a big plus as I didn’t have to reapply
afterwards like other lip products. With the easy twist up bottom the stick will
never need sharpening, a total bonus!
I adore this product, however I now want
all of the colorurs that are on offer, but with them being £5 each I will
certainly be getting my hands on more! Apply, pout and look fabulous!
Beauty Blush |
Other colours available are;
Very Berry - a dark plum/red
Coral Kiss - a bright orange pink
Ravishing Red - a dark red
Raspberry Cool - a standout pink
Awesome Apricot - a nude pink
Pretty Pink - a soft baby pink

Pink Power - a bright pink
Purple Pleasure - a light plum
