Moon Child

I am obsessed. I love the moon. Always have. My Mum loves it too and we always call each other if it's a particularly good moon or a full moon, our favourite is probably the waxing or waning crescent moon because I was convinced it was the cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland when I was a kid.

ANYWAY.

This isn't really about the moon.

This is about Boho Moon.

I came across this cute little jewellery site on Instagram, as I do a lot of little jewellery sites lately and I had been following them for a little while and had a look on the site and spotted a few items I wanted!

So, on Friday I think it was, I just decided to go order the stuff I wanted and just happened to check my Instagram before I did and there was a half price code!!! Was made up!

YAY for sales! And my items arrived super fast!! I ordered Friday night and they were here this morning! (Monday), and they were packaged really cute too, with little moon shaped confetti and everything!!

Oh, and did I forget to mention, delivery is only £1 no matter how much you order!! (within the UK, £5 flate rate to the rest of the world!)

Here is what I picked up!!

I'm in love with all of my pieces, especially the necklace because it just reminds me of my Mum and being little!

I should have gotten her a moon too, but I got her a compass, which she loves!

I was heartbroken that the Moonstone Poison Box ring was sold out. It's so beautiful!

But hey! guess I'll just have to keep checking back!

You should definitely check it out, they have some beautiful pieces and are so reasonably priced! Also keep an eye on their Instagram for discount codes! Their username is just @bohomoon 

Happy shopping! :)

....and yes, I'm loving piclab right now, still need to work my camera out!

Washed Up Mermaid. Bleach London Review.

So, 'Washed Up Mermaid' was one of the Bleach London Colours I got for my birthday and I was dying to use it after looking it up!

I saw a girl once at download and she had turquoise hair, it was the prettiest hair I had ever seen and ever since I have been wanting it but been too scared to do it! 

So, when the Bleach London temporary colours were released and they said they were supposed to last 2-10 washes I couldn't have been more excited! 

Now, it's taken me a lot of effort and time to get my hair blonde and in the condition that it's in, so after reading mainly negative reviews on this colour about staining and leaving a green/blue cast on your hair that is near impossible to get rid of, I bottled it a bit I'm not gonna lie, I really did. But my sister was like 'Oh just do it'...so I just did it.

It's weird, I haven't had crazy coloured hair in a long time and this is definitely different for me and when I first did I, I hated it. 

I'll be completely honest in saying my expectations were high, but I was disappointed. It's really pale and wishy washy, completely patchy and I'm a trained hairdresser so I'm pretty aware of how to apply colour correctly. Some of my hair is still blonde, some is blue, some is green :/ (excuse the lack of make up, I was more concerned with my head!)

I noticed it seemed to just slide off my hair as I was applying it and not really taking, but I soldiered on anyway. It said to leave it on for 15 minutes but because I thought it wasn't going to take I left it on for half an hour, I think I should have left it on a lot longer. It didn't damage my hair in any way, smelled pretty pleasant and was quite conditioning. It was really easy to use and you get a fair amount of product and I think it is definitely worth £5 and it's great for a short term/weekend/school holiday change!

 I think I will try other colours (I already have Rose and Blullini waiting to be cracked open!) because I've heard good things and I think that although I was disappointed in this particular one, and I'm not the only one, that maybe it's just this colour and it all depends on your base colour and hair condition at the end of the day so I'm not totally discouraged.

Weird thing is though, I hated it in daylight but at night it looks boss! Really Mermaid-y!

I had to put my flower crown on (obvz) because I think the colour looks so pretty with the colour of the roses!

I'll do an update with the 'Washing Out Liquid' when I try to remove this and le you know how it goes!! 

How do you like the Bleach London Colours??

xx

P.S I still haven't figured out my new Camera so sorry about the phone pics but you get the jist?!

Insomia and TV

Well, I'm back to not sleeping very much at all ....SO.... I've been catching up on a looooad of TV shows and I thought I'd share my faves!!



I've become obsessed with  My Mad Fat Diary on E4. And yes, it is for blatantly obvious reasons. I feel like I can relate to Rae's character a lot.
I love the way she thinks about things and the way she talks about things.
Then there's the whole Rae & Finn thing.
I am in love with Nico Mirallegro. Like, I love him. I don't even care. I just do.

And then there's the soundtrack!!! It's like listening to my childhood!!! AMAZING.

Then there's Parenthood.

What a cast!! I absolutely adore this show, I don't know anybody else that watches it but I love it.

I'm a huge fan of Lauren Graham and Mae Whitman and the fact they're mother and daughter just puts the icing on the cake! 

I'm now caught up on all five seasons!! If you want a show to watch that will make you laugh and cry and wish you had a big family then this is the one!

Revenge.

I know, I know, I'm late to the party at Grayson Manor but hey! at least I showed up!!

I decided to give this a go on a whim while I was waiting for Pretty Little Liars to come back on and I got sucked straight in! 

I can't even give you a reason why I like it. It's so absurd. but I do! 

The Haunting Of....

I love anything about ghosts and hauntings etc. I have ever since I was a little kid. Anything that makes me feel a little nervy or unsettled is great!

I love Kim Russo (@THEHAPPYMEDIUM on twitter) who is a phychic medium and she takes celebrities back to the place they had a paranormal experience and she invesigates what happened and if there are still spirits around.

Obviously this won't be everyone's cup of tea but I think she's the sweetest!! ...and yes, I've watched EVERY episode.

Pretty Little Liars

This is an obvious one. I've watched this since the very first episode aired and as much as it's doing my nut in at the minute, I can't stop watching because it'll drive me crazy if I find out who 'A' is on twitter or something. I'll have to witness it with my own eyes after investing this much time!

True Detective

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson????

What's not to love??? It's kind of like a film that was just waayyyy too long so they've chopped it up! It's a gritty, serial killer, detective series and I love it!

I have been watching more but I don't want to make this too long! Maybe I'll do another one sometime or with the films I watch when I can't sleep!

Now, go grab a cup of tea - "tea fixes everything", as Finn says ;) and get comfy and check them out!!

Let me know what you think!!

If You're Happy & You Know It Clap Your Hands.....

Are you happy?

I never know where I am to be honest.

Sometimes I am really, really happy and will just get a little light bulb moment and I'll stop in my tracks and  just grin and feel soooo good, then other times, not so much.

I plan on my little light bulb moment becoming a more permanent fixture this year. Obviously I know you can't be happy ALL the time. But why not like 99% of the time??

I've let other people bring me down and make me feel insecure and sad and really bad about myself, be that me feeling like I'm not good enough for them or about how I look.

I've decided no more though. Enough is enough.  I'm at a point where I've stopped and had a word with myself.

I had to question why certain people could make me feel certain ways, and then I realised, it was because I let them.

I was always really down and it was horrible. I struggle with anxiety and depression anyway, but it wasn't that.

They made me feel soooo good when we first met and then that wore off pretty quickly so I started putting it down to me, I was doing everything wrong, I must have changed in some way?? It never occurred to me that it was the other person changing. So I tried and tried and still couldn't figure it out, which brought me even lower because if I didn't know what it was, how could I fix it?

It's only recently I realised how much of my time I actually spent feeling really sad about how this now completely insignificant person thought/felt about me.

What a waste!!!!

All those nights I sat in my room not wanting to leave, I could have been out, moving on, moving up!

It made me really angry that I actually wasted my time in the first place, but you learn and grow I guess, so it wasn't a total waste, just went on a lot longer than it should have.

I know now, that anything is an upgrade from that situation and as long as I can be happy with myself, if someone does change the way they think/feel about me then there's not a lot I can do about that. That's them, not me. So I don't think I'll be wasting much more time worrying about it.

Life really is just too short to waste time worrying about other people you have no control over.

I'm moving on and feel pretty good about it, out with the old in with the new ;)

The funny thing is, I now know it wasn't me at all. I tried and was nothing but nice. I suppose some people will always just be wolves in sheep's clothing.

So, FUCK IT. Just LIVE and breathe and be grateful for the good things you have in life....If you stop and think about it, you'll see you have a lot more than you realise.

I am so thankful for who and what I have, I really am a lucky girl.

New Year

I know this is late and that January is almost over but YAY I have my new Chromebook finally so I can do some stuff!!

SO I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year.

I learned a lot from New Year this year, about some people I know knew, like, literally on New Years.

It made me so sad for a while, but you know what?? I've been feeling this sad since this person came into my life so I've kinda just turned sad into angry, which probably isn't healthy, but it feels much better than feeling super shitty about myself.

SO yes, things are a little different. And it's good.

A lot of my friends are going through things with boy's at the minute, and obviously it all feels like life and death because we're at that horrible age where we feel like we should be getting on with things by now and being grown ups and starting to get serious, and believe me, I've been feeling that way the last 2 years myself but hearing them all upset and stressing about things and trying to make things work has really made me re think things. I loved someone, but I wasn't happy. When they were saying they loved me and meant it, it was just words. I know that now. I just don't get it, if you're this stressed over things so often, why are you doing it? It can't be good for you? and it can't be what's right for you? I understand relationships go through patches, of course they do, but you have to look at it realistically if its every week or two?

I know some of them just don't want to be alone after being with someone for so long but I'd rather be alone than treated like a second thought all the time.

ANYWAY, I'm just rambling there. Yes, I have fewer people in my life now...kind of.

I recently caught up with an old friend and although we're just friends, he opened doors for me, moved my chair and bought our tickets and stuff and I was sooooo weirded out. I have never experienced that before. Honestly. When I told my friends, they were genuinely sad that I was so shocked by this. I am not high maintenance in any way, I am happy with food, tv and a laugh, so I think I've always just settled and assumed that because that's what I'm used to, that's just how it is. But it was so nice, I can't even explain.

I thought all chivalry was dead. Apparently not, and I am SO glad!

I've not been up to much really this month.

I have got a few things in the sales which I will share with you in another post or two when I get them all together!

I've bought a fair bit of make up, some clothes and bedding and.....erm.... I don't even know!

I haven't really made any resolutions this year either, I just want to make myself happier this year, I think that's my plan.

I  made myself a playlist earlier and I've got it on now and I LOVE it.

It's got random stuff on it like;

The Eagles, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Fleetwood Mac, Now, Now, Cyndi Lauper, Avril Lavigne, Jack off Jill, Marilyn Manson, Kittie, Ashlee Simpson, Lily Allen, The Kooks, The Libertines, Razorlight, InMe, Demi Lovato, The Killers, The Strokes, Brand New, No Doubt, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Ellie Goulding, Glassjaw, Norah Jones, B52's, Funeral For A Friend, The Verve, Otis Redding, Lorde, R.E.M, Drake, The Cranberries.......

To name a few haha.

It's public and it's just called 'playlist' haha good luck finding it! If you do though, it's a good'un!

Well, I'm gonna get on with my room listening to my playlist haha.

Nice to just post something :)

Sunday.....

Hmmm... I still havent really figured my blog out. I don't really know what it about or if it's even about anything in particular at all and my posts are pretty sparse because sometimes...... I just don't know what to write.

So, I think I might start a Sunday summary kind of post so that I can at least write one post a week.

I guess it will probably just be about what I've been up to and that sort of stuff. (they may be picture heavy occasionally with drunk/trashy pics!)

SO yeah, here goes week 1.

This has been a weird week, I've not actually done that much...

 I've kind of been unofficially offered two jobs, so that's good...because I'm skint. But we'll see if anything actually  happens with them.....

Went out last Saturday with my two best friends and it was such a good night! Even if my feet were in agony the next day! Thats what dancing in heels til 6am does to you!!

Then had a little girly night in with Vicky on Friday watching tv which was nice!

Saturday and today were pretty sweet, actually, pretty amazing. But a bit of a mess. Oh, and I just happened to fall down the stairs - infront of someone!!! Embarrassing doesnt even cut it. Oopsyyy.

However, I've just had one of those moments when you say something and as soon as the words leave your lips you want to shove them back in, ARGH!!!!

Well here's some pictures from this week!!

Little bit of Christmas in Liverpool

And a couple from Halloween

So yeah, that's about it! :)
