Holiday mode: On!

Hola Señoritas! So, in less than 2 weeks from now, I go on holiday! I'm going to Bulgaria on the 29th June for 10 days with my parents and my gran and I can't wait. Holiday mode is definitely switched on.

I am so excited to be able to just get away from my home town for a while because it is honestly the most annoying and boring place in the world. I really enjoy getting the opportunity to go abroad every year and it is a great privilege considering many people cannot afford to go away.

So as I said, my holiday mode has definitely been switched on. I have been buying clothes non stop for the past few weeks( I might write a blog nearer the time showing some of my favourite clothes I got for going on holiday) and I have also been rambling on about it to loads of people.

There are many things I am excited for about going on holiday, so here they are.

Getting a tan. The thing I am most excited for is getting a tan. Living in Scotland means I have the palest skin known to man, as we rarely get any sun, and I hate fake tan so I never put it on. But going on holiday means I can get a nice, real tan and come home looking so much more bronzed than everyone else.

Cocktails. Bulgaria make some of the best cocktails I have ever had. I can't wait to sit by the pool or outside at night with a Pina Colada whilst having a good time with my family.

Going to Pacos. Pacos is a little restaurant not too far from where I am staying and I can't wait to get back and have their amazing spaghetti bolognase again.

So all in all, I am very much looking forward to my holiday and it can't come quick enough. I hope everyone else has a good holiday if they are going anywhere too.

Much love x

Recent faves

Hola my senoritas! Usually, I would have wrote a weekly blog mentioning what I got up to that week. But seeing as I haven't been blogging because of exams, I have decided to squeeze it all into one blog.

This past month, apart from sitting exams, I have been getting up to lots of things. I have had an amazing past few weeks with friends and seeing people I don't usually get to see very often.

Katrina's Surprise 30th

On Saturday 16th May, I went to my good friend Katrina's surprise party. She had no clue and her reaction was priceless! Quite a few of my good friends which was really good. It was amazing catching up with people and also having a dance and a sing on the karaoke.

Friends
I didn't know what to title this part, but I have spent a lot of time with my good friends Rachel, Danielle and Clare. I really enjoy just sitting in someone's house and listening to music with my favourite people. Beats going out getting steaming anyway.

Nicola's Party

Rachel asked Danielle and I to go to her friends 18th party. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it as I knew literally no one going, but it ended up being an amazing night. I definitely seen Rachel in a different light that night anyway.

Filming VEDJ with Clare
So my friend Clare has a YouTube channel (check it out) and decided for the month of June she was going to post a video every day. So I agreed to film a couple videos with her. We filmed the 7 Second Challenge and also did a cover of the song I See Fire by Ed Sheeran. It was really fun and enjoyable to do, but I won't be choosing to post videos myself anytime soon.

I got up to a few more things such as a charity night, but I plan to keep them for a later blog in June.

I'm back

I can't believe it has been almost a month since my last blog! All I can do is apologise for my lack of blogging over the last month, but school and exams took priority so I had to spend all my time revising.

Luckily though, I have so many blog ideas coming up in June, which I hope people will enjoy reading.

This is a very short blog as I just wanted to say sorry for the limited number of blogs but I promise that the numbers will quickly pick up again.

Oh, I also want to add in. My good friend Clare is doing a video everyday in June (VEDJ) over on her YouTube channel so go check it out, you won't be dissapointed.

Much love x

Revision, friends and more revision!

Hola my amigos! As you may or may not know, it is exam time in Scotland. So I have spent the majority of this week revising for upcoming exams in the next few weeks. But, as promised, here is my weekly favourites. This week, I didn't do many exciting things, but I hope that after exams are over, I can get back to being able to doing more exciting things than just revising.

Night in with friends

On Monday, Danielle asked my friends Clare, Rachel and I all over to hers. We chilled, listened to music and had a good laugh. We do this a lot and I love it so much, getting to spend time with my three best friends. Love my chikkas!

Shopping
Summer is so soon, and I was so unprepared for it when it comes to clothes. So on Thursday, my mum and I decided to go shopping. I love buying new clothes and trying loads of different things on. I bought quite a lot and love it all (some if it will be in a summer clothes blog later). I love going shopping with my mum because we get to spend one on one time together and have a laugh.

Revision

I hate revision more than anything, but one night this week, I sat down with a cup of tea and revised for a good solid few hours. It felt sooo nice afterwards knowing that I had at least gotten somewhere with it all.

Night with Rachel
Danielle went to her dads this weekend, and Clare had her cousin over from Ireland, so Rachel and I were lost for things to do. So we decided on Rachel coming round to mine for a nice night to chill. We decided to eat loads of crap and watched The Boy in the Striped Pjamas. I love that film and it is a right tear jerker. If you haven't seen it then I strongly suggest you do!

Well, that's been my rather uneventful week, but next week is looking to be much better.

April Favourite 2015

Hola my señoritas! As you know, we are well into the month of May, but I thought it was time to share my April favourites with you. Last month I tried quite a few new products which I love. Usually, with products such as makeups or perfumes, I am really picky and tend to just stick with the same ones all the time. But in April I decided to try some new things and was not disappointed.


Barry M matte top coat

For my friend Danielles birthday, I bought her the Barry M top coat. I loved it after trying it but never got round to actually buying it. Last month though, there was an offer on at Superdrug which was buy 2 products and get 1 free. So I decided to finally get this top coat. I love it so much because it takes a shade that is usually really shiny and bright and makes it matte. It is especially nice over pastel shades such as light blues or purples. It costs either £2.99 or £3.99 so it is really affordable.


Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Rocking Curves Mascara

With mascara, I am really unadventurous. For the last 3 years I have used the same mascara from Avon, because I found that it made my eyelashes look really nice and long and didn't clump them together. However, last month I ran out of it, and it would be another two weeks until a new one arrived. So I went down town and bought Rimmel London's Scandal Eyes Rocking Curves and wow I love it! It leaves my eyelashes looking super long and it doesn't clump them together like other mascaras do. The shape of the brush also makes it super easy to apply. It costs only £6.99 so it is really cheap which is a bonus.

Bodyshop Moringa Body Mist

I've actually had this for a few months but I never really used it because I was too busy using DKNY perfume. I've been using it a lot this month though and I love it. It is in the scent Moringa and it smells so good! I also have it in the shower gel and the body cream which was all in a pack. The scent isn't too overpowering which is good and doesn't fade during the day. For the mist alone it is around £9 I think so it is a good price and I recommend.

Dunnes Candles

As you may already know, I love candles and wax melts. I was in a shop called Dunnes and notices these little candles and decided to buy some. I got them in the scent Vanilla Pod. They have 18 hours of burn time which is really good for a candle of this size. And the smell is amazing. They cost only £1.25 which is amazing too.

Take Out Of Me EP

So in February, I went to see Orla Gartland(I wrote about it in my February faves). A man named Martin Luke Brown was supporting and he was handing out his EP for free. I gave it a listen and fell in love with his voice. The trouble was though that I had a CD copy of his EP so could only listen to it in the car. But in April it finally was released on iTunes It is really cheap at only £1.99. My favourite song on it has to be Thorns. If you've never heard of him, I highly reckon you go give him a listen because his music is amazing.


Looks like I have seriously rambled on in this favourites blog so will leave it there. If you like the sound of any of these products then I recommend them all.

My First Time Tag!

I was going to do a weekly favourites blog, but this week I barely did anything as I was busy revising for my History exam. So instead i've decided I want to do the 'My First Time' Tag. I've seen a lot of YouTubers doing this and I though it would be fun to do aswell!
