The Dream Tag

(photo from google)

This tag was floating around the internet a while ago and I have to be honest I have hit a bit of a “writers block” therefore I thought I would do another tag post. I enjoy answering questions and these are super easy to do when you have no time whatsoever. I have a show in less than two weeks so everything is a bit hectic at the moment but I wanted to put up a post anyway. I am a dreamer and always have been. I always find myself dreaming of the secret life I wish I had.

 

1. What are you currently day dreaming about?

Florida, I’m going back to my second home in July and I cannot wait. I’m dreaming of walking down Main Street, MK with a huge smile on my face, dreaming of meeting all the characters and having just a great time. I’m dreaming of being free and not having to worry or stress out because stress doesn’t exist in Disney World

2. What three items live in your dream wardrobe?

A pair of Christian Louboutin, I think they are every girls dream tbh. A white midi tutu skirt, something I probably couldn’t pull off even if I tried but I love them and they look so classy if paired with a nice top and heels. The last thing would be a Prada handbag, I just think they look so classy and have always wanted to own one.

3. Who's your dream celeb look-alike?

There isn’t really an celebs that I would love to look like if I’m completely honest.

4. In your eyes, who's currently "living the dream"?

I think those who are actors full time are living the dream whether that’s on stage or film or tv. I hope that one day I will be one of those people. Also those who are currently in a production on Broadway, that’s would just be amazing!!

5. What do you dream of more; love or money?

I get that money doesn’t buy you anything but it would solve a lot of my problems in life if I didn’t constantly have to worry about my finances. Love is something I guess everyone wants, myself included but these days money is an essential and you don’t get very far without it. I guess I would say I dream a lot more about money than I do love.

6. Your dream holiday escape?

Of course, Florida but I would love to go back to New York and explore everywhere I did not get a chance to. I love would love to do a road trip around America. I’m not one for wanting to go to places like the Caribbean or anything like that.

7. Who's your dream YouTuber collab?

I’m not a youtuber therefore I don’t have an answer for that but if I were I would love to collab with Miranda Sings.

8. Did your childhood dreams ever come true?

Yes they actually did, my ultimate dream was going to Disney and I got the chance in 2005 and my other dream I’m living just now. Acting full time was always a dream and its currently what I’m doing with my life.

9. If one of your dreams could come true right now, what would it be?  

To get into HND next year. It all depends on my show in two weeks and my graded unit so fingers crossed.

 

Thank you for reading and I realised I mentioned Disney way too many times but I’m addicted to Disney so too much isn’t really a problem to me.

5 Great Things About My Week!!

(Image source)

Hello everyone!!

I thought I would do a different kind of blog post today and tell you 5 things that have been great this week;

Rehearsals  -  This year for my final production at college we have took on "4:48 Psychosis" by Sarah Kane which we will be performing in 16 days which is not too long away but this week it finally has came together. We only have a few more scenes to finalise and then we are good to go which is amazing considering how tough a year we have had.

New Lecturer - a week ago, my college got a new lecturer who has taken over my voice classes and he is amazing. There is something about him that I really like, and he really cares about not only my class but also the work we are doing. He gives great advice and I feel like if I had him from the start of the year college may have been that little bit better. I think Friday was one of my favourite days at college so far and there have been many good days.

Juice Detox - I found a Glasgow based Juice Company that specialises in a Juice Detox and decided to try out a 3 day one this week. Everything about it I loved (apart from not getting my third day on time which I'm not too happy about as it meant I couldn't finish the Detox) it made me feel like I had been wiped out from all the badness.

New Clothes - I purchased a lot of new clothes this week and I think I had a delivery every single day, which made me very happy as I never get mail. I felt my wardrobe needed updating even though most of the stuff I bought was plain black for college.

My College Friends - I have a few close friends that I have known all throughout my school years but my college friends are just amazing!! From the very first day as a whole class, we connected and this week has just been another great week with them. It is as though we have known each other our whole lives and I will miss them all dearly when things change next year.

1. 1. I hope you enjoyed hearing about the top 5 things that made my week great!!

The Netflix Tag

(photo from google)

Hello everyone!!

So it’s been over a month now since I last put up a blog post which I am feeling slightly annoyed at myself for not sticking to regularly uploading. It’s been a hectic last few weeks with auditions and rehearsals therefore blogging hasn't really been my top priority. Today I thought I would upload a tag that I have seen floating around lately which is the Netflix tag. I have gotten back into watching Netflix in the last week or so and thought this tag would be an appropriate post to upload.

 

All Time Favourites

I love Orange is the New Black. I have rewatched a handful of times and love it I really enjoy going back and watching the first two seasons of Skins (another of my favourite shows)

Current Addiction

I watched Ugly Betty while it was on TV but rekindled my love for it a week ago and cannot get enough of it. Reminds me a lot of the Devil Wears Prada, which is a film I like a lot.

Wishlist

I wish I could watch Saved by the Bell even though I have the full box set I sometimes cannot be bothered getting up to get the disks. If there was a section for 90s, TV programmes my life would be 10x better.

Net Peeve 

The US and Canadian versions are so much better than the UK version which irritates me as I do not find that very fair. Just because we are the UK doesn't mean we don’t deserve a wider variety. Another thing is how long it takes for a new episode/season to go up on Netflix, I feel as though I've been waiting years for the new season of Orange is the New Black.

Marathon Essentials

 A nice comfortable place to sit/lie, I like to watch Netflix on my bed with either my duvet or my cosy Primark blanket. Snacks are must whether they are healthy or not, I loving banana chips at the moment. Another key essential is time, you can’t settle down to watch a large amount of a show if you have something planned.

You Should Watch

For sure Orange is the New Black, I never get hooked to programmes but this one was an exception. There is nothing else I can really think of that I would really recommend.

Christmas Excitement!!

Do you ever just get so festive and excited about Christmas you can't contain yourself? Well that has been me this week; suddenly I got this feeling about how excited I was about Christmas. Over the last few years, I have not gotten this feeling and was beginning to think the spirit of Christmas had disappeared and the true meaning of Christmas was lost but not this year. I can officially say I think I am done with my Christmas shopping this year (which is a first) unless I truly want to spoil people this year. I have been singing Christmas songs non-stop and have bought a few festive jumpers. The only thing I have not done yet is put my decorations up but only two more days for me and then I can get my tree up and things. This year is the first year in a while that I can truly go out on Christmas presents for people and not worry about money problems, which has been lovely. It is also the first year that I have had a job therefore I have experienced Christmas shopping from behind the scenes in a way, dealing with other peoples shopping problems rather than my own. Next week is the last week of college of 2014 and I am so ready for a little break, it’s been a crazy experience the last few months but I need to relax for a while. I cant wait to finish up so I can probably get into wrapping presents and doing some festive baking/crafts. I am planning on making some cookies and cupcakes with my little cousins then hopefully making some clay baubles for their tree. I have planned a full day for us to do exciting things but knowing me something will come up and I will not get round to doing it. The purpose of this post is to really say how exciting the festive season is for me this year and I hope that every year will be like this. I also wanted to break up my posts before I post another Christmas tag post. I know tags are repetitive on my blog but when I have been as busy as I have been trying to get posts up has been a difficult task therefore tags are easy to put up. Once I have finished from college though I’ll have a little more time to put that extra bit of effort into my posts.

Thanks for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!!

Secret Santa Ideas

Hello everyone!!

Last year I unintentionally done “Blogmas” where I blogged everyday until Christmas day. They were all Christmas related posts and I really enjoyed doing it even though it was a little harder than expected. It would make sense to do it again this year because I have a lot more people viewing my posts than I did last year but that is not the case. Since going to college and getting a job, I hardly have any time to sit down and put time into my blog, which is why in the last few months I have not been that active. I really thought I would do it again this year but I am not able to make that kind of commitment.  To make up for it I am planning to do as many blog posts as I can in December, most will be related to Christmas. I am hoping (fingers crossed) to do some Christmas baking posts because I have so many recipes that I am dying to share with you all.

This being the first Christmas post I have decided to kick it off with a Secret Santa gift guide. We are doing secret Santa in college this year and it can be hard to find gifts that are suitable to not only to your person but also to your budget. Our budget is £5, something I did not stick to and have gone over. Each item I am sharing with you today is under £10 to fit with most people’s budget. My guide is mainly aimed at females but if you do happen to get a male you could easily turn my ideas into male friendly. 

Socks - New Look , nail polish/ lip bullet tree decoration - Topshop, Soap & Glory Bauble - Boots, Bath bombs - Lush, Vanilla Bath Set - The Body Shop, Wine Gift Set - Tesco, the Snowman & the Dog white chocolate - Thorntons

The Fairytale Tag

Hello everyone!! I have seen the fairytale tag go about for a little while now and decided since I'm a huge Disney fan I would do it.

Snow White - Do you consider yourself beautiful?

I would say I'm far from it but maybe I shouldn’t put myself down like that haha.

Sleeping Beauty - How many hours do you sleep at night?

Depends on how tired I am!! I normally get around 6-8 hours per night sometimes less, sometimes more.

Cinderella - Do you have a curfew?

Nope. If I'm out I don't tend to say out that late anyway and normally I'm home before 3am. I am not one for saying out all night.

Rapunzel - Do you love being outside?

Yeah, I love being outdoors. There is so much more to see and do when you are outside. I love exploring and travelling so being inside is boring for me and I get fed up easily.

Red Riding Hood - Do you trust strangers easily?

No, I find it hard to trust people who are not strangers. I guess it’s due to growing up my parents were really strict on the whole don't talk to strangers thing.

The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids - Are you easily fooled?

Nah, its way too hard to fool me.

Beauty and the Beast - What makes someone beautiful in your eyes?

I think everyone is beautiful in his or her own way and for different reasons. No one is the same therefore there is not one type of beauty.

The Little Mermaid - What would you sacrifice for love?

If I loved someone that much I would pretty much sacrifice anything for them. Again, with the whole trust thing I would need to really love them and trust them 100% for me to give up something.

The Frog Prince - What do you find disgusting?

Disrespectful and selfish people really disgust me. 

Jack and the Beanstalk - Do you have any plants?

Not really, my dad has quite a few dotted around the house but plants are not really for me. They look pretty once they have bloomed but I don't really have the time to look after them

Puss in Boots - Do you have pets? If not, do you want them?

I have one dog, a Staffordshire bull terrier, Sasha who I LOVE to pieces!!! She is like my best friend and I honestly don’t know what I would do without her. My dad also has a lot of fish, one I was rather close with, Terry, but it died. I would love another dog either a French Bulldog or Pug or both.

Bluebeard - What is your weak point?

Trust. I find it so hard to trust people and I recently wrote an essay for my first semester at college about myself in outcome one and discussed my issues with trust. Being an actor, trust is something you have to have with not only who you are working with but the people you are presenting in front of. It can be sometimes hard to deal with because it puts a barrier in front of me making me not perform to my full potential.

Pinocchio - What is your biggest wish?

Of course many people wish to win the lottery and I'm one of them, a little extra cash would be lovely. I would also love to do a road trip around America and go back to Florida (one of my all time favourite places). I want to make my family proud by achieving my dreams of becoming a full time actor.

Peter Pan - What is your mental age?

I think it’s probably around 8. Most of the time I act like a child but I do know when to be serious. I LOVE having fun therefore acting like a child is completely fine by me just most people think I'm crazy!!

The Star Money - What is your most valuable possession?

My DSLR, it is my baby. I have such a passion for photography and love taking it with me on adventures to capture everything I see.

The Snow Queen - Who is your best friend and what would you do for him/her?

I would probably say my older sister (I may not be hers but I don't mind). She is one of the very few people who can make me laugh till I almost wet myself. I honestly don't know what I would do without her, despite our arguments we have such an amazing bond and I would do anything for them.

The Princess and the Pea - Are you sensitive?

I can be but I tend to hide behind a shield and just laugh things off.

Godfather Death - What qualities make a good parent?

As long as you are loving and patient you can be a good parent.

The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes - Do you like parties?

I like them to a certain extend, sometimes when I'm in the partying mood it can be fun but other times I just can't be bothered. Most parties get a lil boring if the music is rubbish or the atmosphere is not great.

The Emperor's New Clothes - Do you care a lot about your clothing?

Not really, fashion is not really my strongest point. Don't get me wrong I love looking at pretty outfits and wearing beautiful dresses but most of the time if I'm comfy then I'm all good to go.

The Brave Little Tailor - Do you consider yourself brave?

Yeah, I would say I am fearless! I have not ever found anything I'm scared of so yeah I would consider myself brave.

Thanks for reading & hope you do it as well!!

Halloween Room Decorations

(excuse the mess)

Hello everyone!!

Lately I have been on the hunt for some Halloween decorations to decorate my room with and I found a lot of great things in various places. I found the best places to go to were B&M, poundland/world & Wilkos, they have such a great selection. I decided this year unlike previous years that I really wanted to spice up my room, I do have some more decorations to go up but need to find the time to put them up. The bats and spiders were meant to glow in the dark but you have to have them up close to your eyes to see them glowing so in my opinion they aren't so great. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what decorations I have put up in my room!!

Halloween Themed Clothing Items

Hello everyone!

Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year and I have been browsing lately on the hunt for some Halloween themed t shirts/jumpers to wear and decided to share them. The first one combines my love of both Disney and Halloween; it is a black jumper with a silhouette of Mickey Mouse holding a pumpkin. The next is a short sleeve black top with a glow in the dark skeleton on the front, I got a similar one to this last year from Primark and wear it all year round. The next is definitely the cutest and it is a white top with a cute little cat with bat wings saying, "BOO!” The orange jumper saying, "BOO!" is from ASOS and looks so warm and cosy; I love how bright it is as well. The ghost one makes me chuckle a little bit as it is a spin of the saying "if you've got it, flaunt it" only it is in the theme of Halloween. I threw the socks in because they are super cute and you can never have too many pairs of socks. I am now off to purchase one of two of these despite having no money. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing some Halloween themed clothing items. I am hopefully going to be putting some baking posts up sometime in the next week or so as I have this week off college so will have plenty of time to do so!

Top Eight Things I love about Autumn!!

Hello everyone!!

Autumn is such a lovely time of the year. It is the time for relaxing after a summer full of fun and before the rush for Christmas. I have always loved autumn, ever since I can remember it has been my favourite season. The little things about autumn make it so special. There are so many things that I love about autumn and I thought that I would write a list of them. 

1. Crunchy leaves

The sensation you feel when you are walking, you step on a leaf, and it crunches puts a huge smile on my face. I do not know why I love it so much but I do and it is rather sad because whenever I see a leaf I walk towards it just to hear the crunch.

2. Autumn colours 

I love them. As soon as it hits autumn and the shops start filling with clothes coloured from orange to burgundy to brown, it makes me happy. They are not the brightest of colours but it does not matter because I love them. My favourite for this season is cobalt blue; it is a pretty colour all year round but especially in autumn.

3. Pumpkin spiced lattes from Starbucks.

 It is literally autumn in a cup; it is the perfect drink to have in the colder days as it warms you up on the first sip. This drink is probably my all time favourite drink from starbucks.

4. Beanie hats

 As I mentioned in my autumn tag I love them and as soon as autumn hits I venture out to buy a new one. I recently bought one from primark to add to my collection and it is rather cosy.

5. Halloween

 It is my most favourite thing about autumn so it had to be included. There is something about Halloween that automatically makes me happy. My favourite thing to do in the autumn season is to chill on the sofa watching Halloween films. I went out at the weekend and spent a large amount of money on decorations but it is for Halloween so it is acceptable. I think what makes me love it so much is the dressing up part, I love putting on an act and being something/someone else which explains why I am acting student.

 6. Salted caramel

 Whether it is salted caramel hot chocolates or salted caramel sauce, I love it. As soon as I hear that something has salted caramel flavouring I think of autumn. It’s such a weird combination of flavours that work so well together

7. Guy Fawkes Night

An annual celebration filled with bonfires and firework displays. I am not the hugest fan of fireworks as I think they are dangerous but I love the whole atmosphere that surrounds that night. Every year I go to one of my local parks with my friends and the rest of the city to watch the firework display and its great fun.

8. Dark lips

One of the only times that I can actually pull of dark lips and not look terrible is during autumn. I have been wearing them a lot recently and I just think they look great. My favourites of the moment are Makeup Revolution’s “Rebel with Cause” and the Revlon lip butter in “Red Velvet”.


Hope you enjoyed hearing what my top eight things about the autumn season are!

Autumn TAG!!

Hello everyone!!

Today I am going to be doing the Autumn Tag 2014 that I seen a few people do and  decided because I love tags & Autumn I would do it. As it is autumn and of course that is my favourite season I thought it would be appropriate to do an Autumn Tag. 

  1.    Ok, we are talking coffees – what is your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks? 

I love Pumpkin spice lattes; they are delicious and always make me feel so cosy. Every time I get it, I automatically have a smile on my face because it just makes me so happy. I also love the smell of it when I open the lid, it just screams AUTUMN!!!!

2.    Accessories – what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves.

As soon as it starts to get colder, I tend to start buying beanie hats. They are a staple for autumn/winter time, they make your head warm but some of them are awesome looking. I love the ones with a bobble at the end.

3.    Music – what is your favourite music to listen to during autumn?

My music taste does not really change throughout the year apart from Christmas time when I sing Christmas songs all day. Autumn time just calls for the same music I listen to all year round.

4.    Perfume – what’s your favourite scent for this time of year?

This is a hard one... I do not have any perfumes that smell of autumn scents but lately I have been loving Philosophy Living Grace. Even though it is a rather fresh scent and normally associated with summer, I have been wearing it a lot lately.

5.    Candles – what scents will you be burnings this season?

Anything with Cinnamon & Pumpkin in it is all I burn. When I was in NYC earlier in the year I picked up a couple of Bath and Body Works candles in Mahogany Teakwood and have saved them just for Autumn. 

6.    What do you love most about Autumn?

Crunchy leaves & Halloween are my favourite!!! I also love the colours (oranges, burgundy, purples etc), pumpkins, the changing of the leaves, baking things with cinnamon flavours. Oh, I just love everything about autumn.

7.    Favourite makeup look?

I love darker lips, like a berry colour. I really like using a lot warmer colours such as orange in my eye makeup as I think it just looks so pretty.

8.    What are you looking forward to most in autumn?

I am so looking forward to HALLOWEEN this year, even though I always do. I'm most excited about all the things I have planned to bake. When I was younger, we used to always carve pumpkins but as the years went on that tradition faded, so maybe this year I will carve one again.

Thank you all for reading & I hope you do it too!!!

I'M BACK!!!!

Hey Everyone!

It has been such a long time since I sat down and wrote a blog post, over the last few months life has been crazy. I had to take a break from blogging and at first, I did not imagine taking such a long break but I did. In a way I am so glad I took a break, it let me just relax and enjoy life for a while rather than feel pressured to upload a blog post. Even though I do not have as much readers/followers as other bloggers, I still felt I needed to upload as much as possible. I do want to get back into blogging because I enjoyed it and it felt so rewarding after each post I uploaded.

I'm going to start by updating you on my life a little bit and what has been going on since my last blog post.  In May, I sat my exams then travelled to NYC with my family. The whole trip was amazing and I fell in love with the city. Before I went I was not that fussed about the city and didn't think I would like it that much but I was completely wrong, it was everything and more. A city is full of life and has so much to see and do, which I why I really want to go back. The weather was amazing and it was super hot so I would love to go back in winter when its much cooler. Then in June, I travelled to Bruges, Belgium with my school. This trip was amazing, we saw many great sites such as the battlefields, cemeteries and the trenches. All things I have wanted to see for years, as I have always been interested in history. The city of Bruges is beautiful; it was rather small but it was such a lovely city to visit and would love to go back with my family to show them the sites that I saw. I also went to see my idol, Dolly Parton, in Manchester. Ever since I can remember, I have loved Dolly so seeing her live in concert was a dream come true. The whole night I was up on feet dancing and she even sung my favourite song, Coat of Many Colours. This summer I took a few trips to Alton towers and ventured to the countryside of Scotland. In August, I received my exam results and done amazingly well, much better than expected. Even though I done great I made the choice of staying close to home and not going, off to Inverness to go to uni. I started college a few weeks ago studying acting and Performance and love it. The group of people on my course are fantastic and we have all became like the best of friends which makes everything so much easier. Overall life has been great and in the next few months things will be getting a little crazier but just now I am having so much fun and I do want to bring blogging back into my life. Of course, my next blog post will be a tag because you know how much I love them but I will be doing other posts.

Thank you for taking the time to read this & hope you enjoyed!

The SUMMER Tag

Hello everyone!!  I'm sorry that for the last month or so my blog haven’t been filled with lots of posts but with exam time, NYC and other things which have been in the way it has been hard to upload and I really hope you all understand. I thought it would be a nice way to get back into the swing of things by posting a tag because you all know how much I love doing them. Hopefully soon I'll have some posts up from my New York trip and I also will have a blog post on my Prom so look forward to seeing them. 

I saw that the lovely Georgina from makeup-pixie has created another great tag. Over the last few weeks it has been rather warm and I decided that since its offically summer I can do a tag related to my favourite season!!

What's your favourite thing about Summer?

I love the fact that I don't need to worry about anything. I'm free to do whatever I like. I love how the days feel so much longer and it doesn't get dark that quick. Its also my birthday in the summer so that’s another thing that’s great.

Do you have a favourite Summer drink?

Strawberry lemonade or iced coffee/tea are my go to summer drinks. While in NYC I drank a lot of Strawberry lemonade to cool me down and its rather refreshing.

Is there a location you like to go to each Summer?

I love exploring the Scottish countryside as there is some lovely sights to see. Last year we found a lovely little spot just past Aberfoyle. It was such a great little find and it will be somewhere we will continuously go each year.

Favourite makeup look for Summer?

For summer I hardly wear any makeup, most of the time I tend to wear none. Its rather uncomfortable if its warm weather and I prefer to not wear any. On the odd occasion, if I wear makeup I still keep it to a minimal. Waterproof mascara is a must and a nice bold lipstick.

Dresses or skirts?

Dresses, I think they are just so easy to wear. Skirts do not really suit me and I don’t ever think they will. I’m not the hugest girly girl so seeing me in a dress is a rare sight but I do enjoy wearing them.

Sandals or ballet pumps?

In the summer I tend to wear mostly sandals or flip flops. I think my feet look odd when I wear ballet pumps so you will either see me in sandals or trainers most likely.

Do you prefer to wear your hair up or down for Summer?

About 90% of the year I wear my hair up because its such a hassle to wear it down. When its warm I hate wearing it down because it goes crazy and makes my neck sweaty so I put it up to keep it out the way.

Deep smokey eyes or bold lips?

I’m a bold lips kind of girl, wearing a bright lip just brightens my mood. I love wearing a bright pink on my lips, I feel it just screams SUMMER!!! I'm yet to try an orange lip and have actually made it my goal for this summer.

Favourite perfume for Summer?

I really like Game by Davidoff Cool Water and have done for some time now. It just smells really fresh and lasts all day which is perfect for summer.

Last but not least, favourite music for Summer?

Anything but slow songs are what I listen to during the summer. I like really upbeat/dance music when driving in the car, it just makes me so happy and especially when its up loud.
