Tanya Burr Lips and Nails

Hello Lovelies!

I have no excuse of me not uploading but in my defence my scheduled posts did not go up :( I have been very stressed lately as my exams are coming up in a couple of months but its Easter Break at the moment so i thought i would write a few posts.
 It was my birthday on the 11th and i got some vouchers and i stumbled into superdrug and picled up some things from Tanya Burr's collection by eyeCANDY. I got 1 lipgloss {Smile,Dream,Sparkle} and 1 nail polish{Be Bright,Be Happy, Be You} Can i just say how much i adore the names Tanya chose!
I have been wearing these non-stop since i bought them last week and they are amazing.

Lip Gloss:

They have the nicest applicator. Doe Foot always makes it easy to apply. The colour pay off is excellent and the pigmentation is incredible. They are all affordable with a drug store price of £6.99. Defiantly worth every penny and i will defiantly investing in more :)


Nail Polish:



I apologize for the appearance of my nails no matter what i will always be terrible at applying nail polish! Be Bright, Be Happy, Be You is such a easy colour to wear and it very spring which s great for this time of year. The main reason I loveeee this nail polish is how fast it dries and how it takes two coats to get the colour pay off desired. It also has a desired shine and i just love every aspect of it.

I have been watched Tanya Burr since 2009 and it is amazing to see her with her own line of products. She deserves it so much!
Heres the links to her products:

Anxiety

Hello Everyone <3
I know there are a lot of these around since last year when Zoe Sugg (Zoella) made a video about anxiety but i want to share my story with you. 
I was 4 years old when my parents decided to split up and I was always a daddy's girl despite being closer to my mum. This was 3 days before my birthday. I spent a lot of time in my room crying and that's all i really remember from my 5th birthday. Any way my dad left our house and i slowly became distant. It started at school, my primary school wasn't the nicest when it came to me thinking saying stop it, snap out of it and its okay would somehow help my mind go back to normal. I finished Year 2 and the biggest change started when in September. I felt really alone and i was starting to lose a lot of weight, my two best friends at the time were getting worried when i was constantly tired and looked grey everyday. I coped though. That Christmas was the worst. My dad had gone and i was diagnosed with anorexia at the age of 5 years old. I found this out on Christmas Eve. I got to spend Christmas Day at home, all i remember was lying in bed with a drink of fanta fruit twist ( i now hate that drink) having constant nose bleeds, with stomach aches and head aches and i can still re-call thinking i don't belong her. On boxing day at 7am i was taken back to hospital where i spent 3 days with doctors, nurses, psychologists, dieticians, consultants and people who i bet didn't even know my name. I have 2 older brothers and a sister and they had to spend their time with my grand parents and my uncle and all i wanted when i was in hospital for my dad to come visit me, he never did. but one of thing that scared me the most was going be to school. I had 9 days before i had to go back and i was laying in a hospital bed thinking about death. All the teachers knew but they didn't treat me any different but i was aloud milkshakes in school to help me gain weight! I had a substitute teacher for 8 months because my teacher broke her leg and wasn't able to come in to school. This teacher was the best and was the only teacher in my primary school that i though physically cared, but whilst this teacher was nice to me mentally i was still so alone. My friends knew, then my whole year knew, then the whole school knew and i felt different to the person i was just a year before. i felt like everyone was staring at me and was judging me. I was stupid and i only realise that now but that is why i have anxiety.
But now okay that is all behind me and to write that was so hard and i actually have a few tears in my eyes as the past isn't a place i generally go to and i usually avoid it but ever since then i have suffered with anxiety. I have since come from there and in the past 6 months i have had 2 panic attacks which is a record as just 14 months ago i would have had one on average about 3 times a week. I also am no longer under the hospital for clinical anxiety.
But just because my anxiety is better doesn't mean my mind doesn't wander and i often think if i go away who would care. And i realised there would actually be a few people who would and i know now that my mind as muddled as it is, is slowly making its way straight again.
I have some amazing friends and once i started talking to them i told them about my anxiety and what to do if i have a panic attack and i was expected people to not talk to me once they find out but i was wrong as i have more friends than ever. But if you know anyone who is suffering from anxiety or if you are suffering from anxiety here are a few tips on how to help calm down.
  • Focus on breathing, don't try and hold your breath and focus on deep breathes. It will slow down your heart rate back to normal and will help you calm down. Holding your breath will NOT help.
  • Talk to someone, it could be a friend or family member and if you are still at school talk to a teacher. No-one will think differently of you. Don't suffer in silence it will hurt you more in the long run
  • Think about something you like for example: A TV Show, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joe Sugg and other YouTubers. Anything that makes you feel happier.

For Friends

  • They need support okay, dont talk to them like they are babies. Treat them like adults.
  • Never hug them, unless they ask you too. For me i always just wanted to be left on my own don't hug them because it will make them feel like you pity them or feel guilty. Let them be and just talk to them.
  • Telling someone it will be okay or to stop it or to snap out of it, is not going to make them feel any better, it will make them feel like you don't care. Our mind is not going to become less confused because you say it will. these things take time.
  • Don't leave them. If you know a friend or anyone suffering from anxiety and they let you in don't judge them, don't leave them to fight this on there own. They need support. They will get through it as long as they have someone to help them get there. It's a lot easier to do this when you have someone else there.
Everyone is perfect. Sometimes we don't see it but someone else out there does.
Here are some quotes which always make me feel better about myself.


You have to keep looking forward and not think about what could have been.



I think Nicholas Sparks books hold some of the most meaningful quotes.



The two above are from the fault in our stars and the first one has a true meaning and i put the second one in to show that somewhere out there is your own Augustus Waters who will be willing to give you a speech like this <3

Weather :(

I have being meaning to write a blog post every day. But from Monday until now, were I live there have been floods, snow storms, hail and of course my school being the weird one hadn't closed and with my mum at work everyday I don't get any lifts home. This has caused me to have had a terrible head cold and I have had a mind block along with 900 other people in my shool (not exageratting either there are 1.5 thousand people in my school) as well as our teachers thinking it is a good idea to set homework everyday this week so I have 15 pieces of homework to do and I also need to find time to revise for a maths practise exam. I need a high level to stay in my set and get the correct grade eventually so it is importnant! I also have 5 student teachers and 4 of which are boring and 8 people in my group have had detentions for falling asleep in lessons and the other one no one can understand so we sit talking for the whole lesson. 
And today has been very eventful as I have been interrogated by my 4 best friends and been forced to admit something which was really embarrassing ! 
I really want to start blogging more and scheduled posts aren't working out for me but I am trying honestly. Anyone that's my life in a nutshell. 
Stay Perfect. Lots of lovelies Internet!

Easter

Hello Everybody <3
Easter is one of my favourite times of year is Easter because of all the amazing chocolates there are! And theres pancake day and obviously their lent as well. Easter and Christmas have such amazing food options but Easter for me is better as I was Born during the Easter period too! My birthday is April 11th if you were wondering ;) 
I also am a huge chocoholic and I mean c'mon mini eggs, creme eggs and them really cute milkybar cows! But January isnt even over and Easter is already started to come in as the shops are selling chocolates and as in the UK we haven't had snow yet and it isn't freezing cold everyday for me it feels like Easter. However in about a month Cherry Blossom will be out and then Shrove Tuesday will be among us and it will all be really happy! My birthday is also very special to me and as i am at school on my birthday for the first time in 7 years it is going to be really special as all my friends will be there! (Also teachers go easier on you when its your birthday)
However since they have started selling the chocolates I have taken this opportunity to stock up early. So far in the past 2 weeks everyday I have ate at least 3 creme eggs and if you dont know what these are, here is a quick description. 
It is a chocolate egg with egg white in the middle and its so niceeee :)
I am literally obsessed with them. Ooops :/
Anyway this morning i went to the shops and got a pack of 6! I have already ate 1 of them but here is what the eggs packaging looks like. My mouth is watering just at the sight of them.
I will probably have about 200 of these over the next few months. haha. 
I hope this makes you get excited for Easter :)
Another Post! Aren't you lucky! I am going for one post a day sometimes more or maybe sometimes none but I am going to try, just for you :)
Stay Perfect. Lots of lovelies Internet!

My Favourite Author!

Hello Everybody
Considering my other post got deleted (sorry!) I thought to make up for it I would write another one as my laptop was in front of me!.
I have decided to do it on my favourite Author and my favourite books of his!
Surprise Surprise my favourite book is The Fault in our Stars. John Green is also my favourite author at the minute. I have read Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines and of course The Fault in our Stars.
Each of these books effected me and im still trying to figure out if this is a good thing or a bad thing!!
I have borrowed my dad Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska as he also loved The Fault in our Stars and i am so excited for the movie I already know it is going to be amazing. But i think the part that really made me cry was the friendship between Gus and Isaac because Isaac didnt want to live in a world without Gus his best friend there beside him, which i think is really sweet. If you have been living under a rock for the past year and dont have a clue who or what i am talking about here are some pictures of the books I have with me!
In an Abundance of Katherines it was the first chapter when he was dumped by his 19th girlfriend and for some reason it made me cry and i don't
even no why to be honest!

No 7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream Review

Hello Everyone :)
Two posts in one day aren't you guys lucky!
Today I am going to be reviewing one of my new favourite products. I have been using the No 7 Beautiful Skin Range for a while now but the one product i have been reluctant to buy is the Day and Night Cream, however for Christmas my moisturiser had run out and because of my very dry skin if i don't get another one you can see dry patches and my foundation doesn't like it and decided to stick to it. But luckily for me I still have the 'Perfect Skin' so i get spots but not really bad and concealer usually covers it but this Winter my skin has been really bad so I am back to using foundation, which because of my extremely pale skin is hard to get exactly right. I always have foundation a pale one and a slightly darker one for Summer days. But of course if i dont moisturise i wont get enough oil meaning my make-up looks very cakey and no one wants that. But i have heard mixed reviews on the Day and Night Creams so when it came to Christmas and my mum got me the Day Cream. I have used it every day for 1 month now and it is quite honestly one of the best moisturisers I have ever used.
I am very picky when it comes to Skincare and I have to get everything perfect and this is actually a difficult task but i have been absolutely loving the cleanser and exfoliator from the Beautiful Skin Range but everything else i use is either Clinique or Origins as they work best with me. But the quality of the No 7 Skincare is amazing and its a fraction of the price of something from Origins! I have Normal-Dry Skin is Winter and in Summer i have Normal-Oily but i cant picture them working as well in Summer personally!
Here is the what the product is the packaging is really nice :)
Also it lasts a really long time, I have been using this for a month straight and it still looks new! p.s excuse my terrible nails :(
So thats it for this post guys :) Stay Perfect. Lots of Lovelies Internet!
