SUGAR FREE BUTTERSCOTCH CANDY

Yes, I am doing a blog post on sweets. Literally tried these for the first time today and they are so yummy! I got these today from Holland & Barrat, for like 99p really just to try them out because anything with butterscotch will be amazing. There wasn't just these flavours, there were different varieties like Rhubarb+Custard, Strawberries+Cream. Anyone that wants healthy alternatives to sugary sweets, and junk food, these are great. As well as this, Holland and Barrat have plenty of healthy alternatives when it comes to snacking, drinks, and dieting, then I really recommend that shop. Really good prices, really good quality, and super super healthy!
Yummy!



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The London Palliadium!

Now those of you who are a frequent reader of my blog, will in fact know that I am a performer and I am professionally trained in the Performing Arts Industry with the Theatretrain company. Reccently, I have done two shows, one at The Junction and one at The London 02 Arena. Both of these were amazing experiences.

But as it happens, in July 2015 I will be performing at The London Pallidium. I still am getting my head around it. This is the place where all the great entertainers of the past two centuries have performed. I am just so thankful to the people at Theatretrain. Especially to Christa, our leading director. You are incredible. Photos of rehearsals will be up very soon. I am soo excited!

Social Anexiety

As a long term sufferer of Social Anxiety, I feel like writing about it will hopefully increase my healing and others...

 Suffering from  social anxiety is possibly the worst feeling I have ever come across in my life, it leaves me in panic attacks, severe nightmares and a decreasing in self confidence all the time. It is one of the main reasons why I wanted to start a blog as it will help me become more myself throughout my blogs and when it comes to dealing with reality. I started this suffering when I was about 1, so in year 8, and I started to experiment with make-up, and I realised there was alot of things I disliked about myself. These thoughts stayed with me for a long time, and I was very enclosed with myself and cut off others around me.

I can be very distant towards my friends and family, which causes alot of worry and concern sometimes. I haven't really started talking about how I feel to anybody, until I started to have regular meetings with a chaplin called Joey who has helped me so much and I owe alot to him, he has been there for me since the first time I had a meeting with him and although I still have anexiety, I am improving because of him, and have found that I am a happier person. So I guess that shows that telling someone is the best thing you can do, don't suffer in silence, support is the best medicing for social anexiety.

When dealing with the things I don't like about myself, I get very paranoid when out in the city or with my friends, who are all so confident and at ease with themselves, that it made me very panicky and I would suffer panic attacks, these aren't so frequent with me anymore as I have learnt to relax alot more, and I do not put myself in any uncomfortable positions. Although I do get alot of nightmares still,which entale me being alone in a crowd, or pure blackness, people I know saying horrid things to me are somethings my brain just doesn't let me forget and I have found myself asking these people if thats what they think of me even though it was just a dream it carried out into my real life.

I have also had a hard time during my roles in performing arts as I do acting, singing and dance to improve my confidence and make me feel more stable, I would not participate in any activity that would make  me feel uncomfortable about how I looked, me and my body do not get on, I have done some awful things to my body, which I regret but somehow am still not happy with these things. This is actually the hardest thing I've ever had to write so I hope this is making some sense.

My main hope for this post is to encourage other sufferes of social anexiety, that it does get better. It does improve. You do not need to change. Always remember to stay positive, each and every one of you are amazing and special in your own way, never let society label you, I have put myself through this, and am now fighting against it. Just remember that you have people in your life that love you, care about you, and want whats best for you. Even though it doesn't always seem that there are. Remember that the world is not your enemy, you can shine, and don't let SA bring you down. It does not have to be this way. I promise you it will all get better in time, and I am happy to talk to anybody for advise or questions.

Ways I deal with SA:

1. TALKING TO SOMEONE- it helps more than you think
2. FIND A HAPPY PLACE- whether that be a place in your home,outside, a song,movie it can all help.
3. HELP OTHERS- help others to help yourself, the same with encourage, I helped one special special friend (IZZY) with her SA and I realised that I could use the advice to encourage her, to encourage me.

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR READING. YOU ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL!

Summer- happy times

Well the weather has been absolutely  gorgeous and I just thought I'd express that through another blog, because it has just been a great day today. I'm doing a showcase, so I literally spent all day rehearsing and just laying about with my friends which is so relaxing and fun in this weather. 

Living the good life.

Haven't really been up to much at all, this Saturday is my last week of dance before summer ends so I have to figure out some things to do on Saturdays now.  I have had a hard past few weeks so I'm glad things are finally looking up. Yay.

Hope everybody has a beautiful hot summer, remember to smile and be happy in the sun while it lasts as we all know what the English weather is like :)

Video Coming Soon...

Just thought I would let everybody know that I am doing the What's In My Bag video on Wednesday the 16th July. It will be posted on youtube but I will post the link to another new post when I've completed it.

I got the inspiration from Tanya Burr, who is a well known youtuber with her own make-up collection, to do the Whats in My Bag video to start with, because I was a bit stuck for first video ideas, and she said that that's what she started with. Clearly it worked for her, so hopfully it will help my youtube channel to become a bit more promoted as alot of people do the WIMB video.

Remember to subscribe to my youtube and give it a thumbs up.
Thank you.

Becoming a vegetarian

So last night I came to the decision that I will become a vegetarian. I decided this because I just do not enjoy eating meat, it's so fattening, and the way these farmers kill the animals is absolutely vile. 

I did think about it for a long time, and I just think that even though it doesn't stop factory farming, and it doesn't stop animal abuse, at least I know that I'm doing something positive for myself and for the animals. Animals do not deserve to be treated the way that they are, and I don't really know, I guess that this is just my way of showing I care for animals and that well I'm basically on their side. 

I'm aware that their are alot of opinionated arguments about vegetarianism, and vegan ism, even if you disagree with my views I would so love to hear them as it is important for me to get several different views and aspects in making my decision permanent, which is what I intend to do. I am not saying I want people to change my mind, as I am dead-set on staying a vegetarian for as long as I live, but I mean I just want to hear your opinions as I will remember them. I promise :) 

Even though I am just 15 and alot of you might think I am just being a naive teenager, I do feel I am benefiting myself from not eating animals as I now feel like a better, more whole person about the whole animal abuse ways. 

Thanks for reading you lovely people!! 

Influental people in my life..

So I thought I would write a little bit more about my life, in order for you to get a little bit more of an understanding who I am. Many people inspire me and my choices in my lofe. I came up with the idea of just listing and explaining them..

1. Michael Jackson
I know alot of people are very opinionated about Michael Jackson and there are alot of accusations thrown around because of various periods through out his life. I love Michael Jackson just because I believe he is extremly talented, He was a very strong charecter and had a lot of feelings, it hurts me when people call him names, as these people that throw these  names around never met him, never spoke to him, and if you did then I am sure he wouldnt live up to the names he was called. I think he was very generous and honnest,  he did alot for the sick in our world and he sang from the botton of his heart. I love him and I always will.

2. Beyoncė
Beyoncė is an inspiration purely for the girl-power she brings. All her songs have deep meanings, and they can relate to alot of people. She is beautiful, never done anything to befrowned upon. I love how she is a lovely strong person outiside of the music industry. She is one of the reasons I love to dance so much, I've loved her since she was in "Destiny's child". I remember I used to pr upactise her routines and I still know them now off by heart. I believe she will be my inspiration when I'm 50 years old. I'll tell my grandchildren about her haha.

3.Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn is my last inspiration because I just love her story about how she pursued her acting career, in broadway and screen around the same time which is so clever and talented. Especially growing up in the difficult times she did. She was also beautiful. Alot of people don't really know in depth her story, I learnt through primary research. I think she is just wonderful. I really hope my acting career is as succesful as her's was.

Thank you for reading. Remember to follow me!

Comment your influental figures below I would love to hear them!!

RAVE RAVE RAVE!!!

The Nivea Daily Essentials range, are literally the most moisturising products ever, they literally make my skin feel so soft and are suitable for normal & combination skin so really they can be used on all skin types.

The refreshing 2in1 Cleanser and Toner, are great for anywhere on the body, use them whilst in the bath or just after on damp skin. They make my skin feel so soft and are so great for travelling if you don't want to take a separate bottle, so it just makes packing a little lighter. They also absorb really quickly in your skin and doesn't leave it sticky or greasy like other products. You can get this with the facial wash gel in a set together, I believe in Boots. I don't think they are that pricey at £7, for two which is very good for the quality that they are. 

The refreshing facial wash gel, is also applied while in the bath or I like to use it as soon as I wake up in the morning if I am too lazy to do the whole, Cleanse, Tone and Moist routine. It is quick, easy and super absorbent. I love how smooth it makes my skin feel. It makes my skin look healthier, I don't wear foundation as much anymore after using this, just because my skin looks alot more toned. I recommend this to people that have problems with blemishes and spots because I find that this helps alot more than certain moisturisers.

Would like to point out that this set also came with a third product but I can not remember or find it at this point. When I figure out where and what it is, I will post the review of it after a few tries with it, and post a review later on. 

Dark Lips..

I am seriously loving dark and deep shades of lipstick at the moment, purely because I find that because the foundation I use ( Collection2000-old) makes having darker lips compliment me alot more. But obviously it depends on your natural skin type and how dark you like to go on your foundation. But in my opinion I think that deep lipsticks really suit anybody.

I love the deep reds, deep purples, burnt autumn (reddy-brown), I just find they really finish off a nice outfit. I also think that deep lipsticks really compliment any tone of outfit whether is a dark oriented or lighter with your chosen colour scheme, and that they match colours I am wearing accordingly. I find that a deep lipstick with a dark outfit just is the cherry on top and that you really cant go wrong. And with a lighter colour scheme of an outfit they really work well together if you do not want to go for a completly subtle look.

My reccomendations for where to get the best lipsticks would be Topshop own brand; I find these really stay on for a long time. They aren't very pricey, I believe they are about £8-9 last time I was in there. I would also suggest Mac's Mineralising Rich Lipstick range, these are soo moisturisng on the lips, they stay on for such a long time. Although they are quite pricey at £15 , the quality is outstanding.

Hope this helps, thank yoou.

Smokey eyes

So I thought before I really start to promote my blog I would create a few posts so there are a few things to look at, when you first view my blog instead of their being no posts to show.

This picture is actually my eye today, I went for the smokey eye look, I'm sure you all know the ways in which you create a smokey eye.

For those you don't all you need is two different shades of grey eyeshadow I prefer the Naked Pallette myself. A black eyeliner, liquid or pen it doesnt matter and of course a mascara.

So to start all you need is to get the lighter shade of grey and apply it from your lashline up to just under you're brow. Then with the darker shade you apply it in the creases and on your lid if thats what you prefer . Then using a brush or your finger blend the two colours creating a smokey effect. Comment or somehow tag me in your smokey eyes as I would love to see your way.

Welcome!!

Thanks for coming here to read my blog. This first post is just to introduce myself a bit more in depth.

So as you would have read by my little "About Me" section I am very interested in fashion, so I will frequently post OOTDs, Shopping Hauls, Make Up, and Beauty recommendations for you. I will also post where the best high street shops are, but I'm also quite materialistic so the designer labels will be posted also. Fashion has always been a part of me, I love reading Vogue, Glamour, and Elle, these really are the best magazines if you just have an eye for fashion. They are very true, they do not give out false information, and just suit all fashion types. So I'm sure I will also post reviews monthly on the fashion magazines out. I will also post my own monthly favourites, which will basically be my favourite beauty, fashion, or just random products of the past month.

I also am a big time performer, when it comes to Dance and I have been dancing since I was 3 years old, and trying to get myself trained in all genres of dance, but as you fellow dancers know it is an incredibly hard industry, and it takes many many years before you can really class yourself as a "dancer". I love dance because it is an escapism, but also because I just love to loose myself in music.  If any of you have any tips, or dance school recommendations then please comment as I am trying to find a suitable one for me. Also I will post dance reviews, shows I have seen and dances I am loving at the current time. (No Gangham Style Please). I am a big lover of the high-time dancers like Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake their moves are insane.

Obviously I will post different types of topics not just fashion and dance. To br honnest I will probably post any ideas that pop into my head.

Thank you all.
