When is a joke not a joke?

Hey, some of you guys might think this is stupid but people have there own opinions and this is mine. 

 So I can take a joke but when is it not a joke anymore where is the line and how do you know you have crossed it. 

I know I'm guilty of saying things in a joke and then crossing the line and having to deal with the consequences. But everyone will cross the line at least once in there life some more than other. Is it appropriate to call some one a slag or a slut for a joke? I don't think it is some people can shrug it off and forget. I can do the first part but the second part te forgetting is hard. For me all I think about after that is did they mean it, was it a joke   

Personally I'm gonna try and stop saying thing that I don't mean and not let things slip out as a joke. 

Thanks for reading love you.

The Hotel Room

I'm laying on a bed in a hotel listening to my dad snoring and people running down corridors. Don't get me wrong I love the hotel and the bed is really comfy but I am so tired from the 4 hour journey, and long day at 3 different history museums. Me and my family (plus some close family friends) have been in France for 14 days. We stayed in one area 1 night and then spent nearly two weeks in a lovely house where we enjoyed a lot of good BBQS, curtesy of the dad's, and a lot of sun. Now we are spending 2 nights in Caens to see a lot of history things to commemorate the war. My point is my family my drive me up the wall with the snoring, moaning and lovey dovey scenes in the car but this holidays been better than I expected. It has been fun packed and relaxing.  I have loved it and my family and even though I have spent two weeks with minimal internet it ha been a small price to pay for what a good time I have had without it. 🌅❤️💤

Body Image...

So the big issue is getting bigger and I don't know why but I wanted to take a big leap and talk about something serious for once. I watched a programme last night surrounding body image in young adults it was mainly about it in men but I don't know anything about that. But in girls I do so I looked more deeper into it to realise that it was getting more serious. 

Personally, I think that it is because of all the ads on TV or in shops.  And also all of the manikins are so small that it's not reality and makes us think we need to be that size. But none of that world is real for all we know the signs could be photo shopped and for the manikins well they aren't even real people (if you look you can see the pins they put in the clothes to fit them)

I am not a size 8 sometimes I don't fit in a 10. But that doesn't matter people aren't gonna like you when you as thin as a stick. Sometime I have days when I don't feel positive about how much I weigh but my friends always say to me that I'm not fat and that things like that should be banned from being said. I am not saying go eat 1000 burgers but nobody needs to be like the models on TV. Your beautiful whatever size. If you are going though any bad body image problems then don't worry go to your friends and tell people. If you hold it inside in till it gets worse then it could be to late. 

Here comes for the stats that nobody knows what the hell they mean. But these ones aren't that complex. More than 90% of 15-17 year old girls want to change at least on part of there appearance (body weight the highest part). 80% of 10 year olds are afraid of being fat. Does a 10 year old even know what fat really is? Isn't this to young to worry? Nearly 12% of teen boys are using supplement or steroids. I know people experiment but with things that could send you into hospital isn't good. About a quarter of girls aged 15-17 would consider going under the knife for beauty (plastic surgery). Part of this must of come from the fact that a lot of actors have had it and never change but it still isn't good. The last one 7 in 10 girls think that they are not good enough for looks, school or a relationship.

Just to finish there is help out there and people can always help. Anyway hope you all didn't mind a serious post and that it was not to boring. Hopefully, it helped at least one person.

Late April Favourites!!!

Hey, So it's that time of the month again. And I am sorry late with them I did mean to put this up last weekend but here they are. Before I go on I want to say that I am so happy some of you have checked out my YouTube channel and if you want to I will leave the link at the end of this.

This is an old bag and it has recently made a return into my outfits. It has enough room to hold all the stuff I need and goes with alot of outfits.

 These two pairs of shoes are both quite girly. The first pair which are white are old but I have found a new love in them styling them with sporty spring looks.
The converse are new this month and go with most outfits. They will always be on trend and will be worn.

This is a chocolate bar which is good if you don't have to much of it. It is an american brand and has really good flavours.









These are just two body products one is a roll on and one is a body spray.

 This is just a hair clip which I use when I curl my hair and it really holds so I keep it close.

These are 2 lip products the small one is clinique and is a dark purple and the bigger one is a M&S and is also quite dark. I like these even though it is getting warmer this was probably the last time till autumn to wear them.

This blends in to the grass. It is a green eye liner which isn't usual for me but I have been using alot for underneath my eyes.

 This is my new purse from Egypt which my grandparents got me. It is really nice and the inside is really big and can hold alot. ( Not that I have any money) LOL

This is hairspray and is good for hold when it is not for long periods on time. It is one of my favourite hair brands and this has been helping me alot this month.

That's all and there isn't many. Please go check out my channel where the video will be up to see. I love you guys.

Chubby Bunny Challenge Experience!!!

Hi, I fell really ashamed I haven't posted in like a little less then a month and I am sad I have missed you but if you subscribe to me on you-tube then you will have seen me and know I have been busy. It was my birthday last Saturday and me and my friend, Lydia, did some shopping and celebrated and we filmed on what should of been a day off. If you haven't already seen the video then here is a description. 

The chubby bunny challenge is where you have to try and get as many marshmallows as you can in your mouth and after each on you have to say chubby bunny. It's hard.

We did loads of rounds so that we used up the whole bag and we were nearly sick especially Lydia. Hint: if your gonna do it don't use the marshmallows above. I won but Lydia had a challenge at the end and won that, it was a bit of a all or nothing so she won that way. But as she says I have a bigger gob. LOL!!! I advise not to do it, it's horrible and I mean that as in throwing up. But at the same time it's a laugh.

Hope you liked the change from fashion I certainly did. Keep checking this out.
