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.

March Favourites!! :)

HI, hope your all good and well. So I know I have already done a video for this but if you haven't seen it here it is. 

 The first items are so cute. They are 3 little camper vans. There not new I have had them a while but as it is my first favourites I thought they must go in. I don't know where I got them but I love them and are never getting chucked out.

In the video the powder isn't in it but I do love it. But the true favourite is the blender brush. It is so smooth and does it's job really well. The brand is Clinque and it's not new but I found it earlier this year and have used it more and more and deserves to be in here. 

Right so this product is from the Aussie collection and works really well on my hair. It says curl defining but I use it on straight hair because I don't curl my hair. But it really softens and makes your hair glow.   





These are new in my closet and I only got them this month. They have a little star on them and are just plain black. I am gonna wear them all summer and are going to be my main sunglasses in France.  

This is another hair product and it is mousse to use before use dry your hair into curls. But saying that I do use it just to give volume to my straight/wavy hair.  

  
These 2 books have been sooo good and I know this is going to sound geeky but I love to read. The one of the right is called 'The Opposite Of Amber' by Gillian Phillip and the other is 'No Ordinary Love Song' by Alison Prince. They both have really good story lines but I wouldn't recommend them for younger people. 








 If you haven't read this where have you been for the last month. I f you get to the shops now it might still be there. Zoella | Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle Blog Is the person on the front and she is one of my favourite YouTubers and has such good style check her out the link is there.

This leather jacket has come out again this month and I have wornit in the cold weather. Of course cause I live in England it rains ALOT so this jacket is so stylish and detailed. It's from Matalan.

These 2 lip care butters are so nourishing. They really take care of my lips well even thought they have been really dry lately. 

If you follow me on instagram then you will know I love this and it's colour. It is from soap and glory and the colour is punch bowl. 

These make-up wipes are really smooth and don't irritate my skin or eyes. I don't know what shop there from.

These joggers are in the haul so if you want to know where there from look there. They are real comfy so go get them.

This flannel shirt is over sized and I wear it all the time over t-shirts or anything really. It is so comfy and you can wear it with anything. 

These were a really early birthday present from my mum and they are 2 of the best movies ever and I can't wait for the last ones to come out.  

I have missed out pictures of my slippers but they are in my video.

Things We Should Do

I didn't know what to do today in this blog but then I thought I should do a things I should do or things I want to do blog. Basically it is things like music and reading and it won't be for some people but there will be different ones all the time that you might like.

1.) Listen to different music. I have started getting into random music lately and I love exploring on Spotify (A music app). In the picture there is some of it.

2.) Have a clear out every month or so. I have started having one now and I have found things I never knew I had. I have got rid of loads.

3.) Play more sport. It doesn't have to be sport just getting outside is good. It is a simple thing to do yet I don't do it a lot. 

4.) Read more. I know it sounds like a geeky thing to do but it isn't really and people who don't are the ones who won't get as high level. I already do read a lot and it is like a movie in your head when a book is really good.

5.) Watch less t.v. Now I must admit I watch a lot of t.v and I should cut down and I am trying not to get in to more programs but it's so hard cause the t.v calls me. LOL

6.) Think before I buy stuff. I think it's safe to say I'm a shopaholic. I need to say to myself do I need it or what will it go with or I will end up with no money.

7.) Not be afraid to make mistakes. We are young now is the time to make mistakes. Fall in and out of love with random people. Wear something horrible to a party. Put on ridiculous eye-shadow then put a picture on instgram. 

8.) Laugh whatever the joke is. Making people smile is simple and lighten up have a joke don't take life to serious. 

9.) Be yourself. Make your own decisions and don't follow other people.

10.) Don't judge people. Everyone is fighting a battle you don't know about so get to know them before you judge them.

Hope you liked it leave a comment.

 This all of the fuse group and   this was our last group shot before the show. We all had to say bye to Amy our dance teacher because she left that night and won't be teaching us again. I think we would all like to say thanks for teaching us and we will all miss you very much.

My Day Out

Hi guys, I was sitting in the garden writing this but then I tried downloading my picture and it wouldn't let me so I'm back sitting in my room with the sun though a window. :( Anyway' today I have been out on a walk so this won't be fashion blog just a load of pictures really.  Sorry!

We all went down Darley Park and we picked up my dog on the way he had a good time sniffing and running with other dogs.

The sun was so bright out in the open and everything looked so summery. We stopped  off where the park is to get a drink and then carried on.

I won't say who the women in the edge of the picture is cause I might be endanger of getting KILLED. But she had a good time.

BTW people should go out walking or just out in the sun more. I know I am the one writing a blog all the time but I want to be outside getting a tan. :)

Thanks for reading I won't be able to do a blog everyday because of school. Also wish the fuse crew and me good luck tomorrow at the dance competition interface.

Affordable comfy home wear!!

Hey, hope your all good. :)Today this post will be about affordable fashion but fro at home which means it's not gonna be dressed up. Just something to put on at the weekend when you are watching tv or reading to all my geeks out there like me. No one needs to dress up and where loads of make-up so here goes to see me with nearly no make-up :) 

Out-fit 1:    In this picture I have cropped the top and just put on    a pair on black joggers. It was really comfy and I could of worn it all day. Obviously, you wouldn't wear it somewhere important but for house work  and lazing around it is good.

These simple black joggers from the haul blog are really comfy, and only cost £10. Any pair of black joggers would be comfy and would work. They are from Matalan. 

 

This t-shirt is cool I got it in a size bigger because I like the turn up sleeve top a bit big  so that you can where them with leggings and it covers my butt. :) This top was in the t-shirt section in Primark and I think it cost me £6 but it was a while ago there are loads of different style ones though so just find a design you like and you could do this. 

Out-fit 2:  This outfit I wearing right now as I write this and I love it and I wear it at home after along day of school. <3 <3 It's again simple and don't need to take a long time getting changed or trying to look good it's only for home. 

These joggers are the same as the ones in the first outfit but grey, they have pockets both sides and are comfy like I said. They are £10 as well and are from Matalan.

This top is the same style as the first one and is also a little over-sized just how I like. This one I got a little more recent so might still be in store at Primark and I think it cost me £6. I love it and I don't think it matters it's superman just own it. 

Out-fit 3: This outfit is different to the rest it's not a t-shirt and joggers but it's still comfy ans works with the items from anywhere not just these. It's a bit more expensive then the rest but is still affordable.

This picture is a bit blurry but they are leggings and these are from M&S but all black leggings are the same so any would work.

 

This jumper was a present for Christmas so I don't know where it's from but it is really comfy and fluffy. Any jumper will look good and it don't have to be strips but I like this one best with leggings. 

Thanks for reading put another post up soon leave a comment for any blogs you want.
