Trip to Norway & Copenhagen

Hey everyone! 

Just wanted to let you all know that in a little while I will be flying to Norway to visit family and then on Sunday I will be getting the ferry to Copenhagen. 

I will be back on Tuesday and will try and post of Wednesday. 

I obviously probably won't be on here very much as I won't have much internet and I'll be busy etc but I'll catch up when I'm back :-)

2014 blogger challenge | new years inspiration

If I'm honest, after reading the first few posts of the 2014 blogger challenge, I felt a little disheartened about what I was going to write. Every post was very personal and showed a real journey from a dark time to a much happier one. 

I'm a very average girl. Not much going on.. No real problems, no real dramas in my life. So when I was thinking about what to write, I had no idea. I was pretty poorly when I was a tiny baby, I had pyloric stenosis (if you want to know what it is, google it), but that was when I was about 4 weeks old and its never really effected my life in any way as I can't remember anything about it. I'm a VERY fussy eater and some people in my family blame it on that, but to be honest my eating has never really effected me in any way.. I'm still here and healthy, aren't I?

*Image this as some scene from a Hollywood movie* 

I was looking around my room for ideas (I do that sometimes, no idea how or why it helps me but sometimes it just does, okay?) when I saw a frame that my mum had made for me. She's a graphic designer and we have many a poster of some sort that she's made around my house. In the frame was a quote she had found, which really applies to me. I knew instantly I wanted to use it in my post but then I wasn't sure how. Its not exactly a journey, more a part of me and my personality.

Not my mums original design, made this one myself

So as I said, this quote really applies to me. I would class myself as 'entrepreneurial', that makes me cringe hugely but its true. I get it from my mum. I'm always thinking of ideas of small business' that I can set up and do myself. When I was in upper school and I was too young and had too little experience to get a real job, my mum very kindly helped me set up my own jewellery selling business. It was obviously very little and didn't take off in any way shape or form but still it happened. 

I then gave a go at making tye-dye tshirts and selling them (remember when they were cool?) but the time and money spent, I wasn't making nearly enough back. 

Now I'm studying graphics at college and don't have any plans for when I leave as I don't want to go to uni, I would really love to somehow do something with my Graphics skills and make some kind of a business. Hmmmm, I can dream! 

Anyways, I guess my message is just simple that you can achieve anything if you want to. Cliché but true.

NYE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I'm currently laying in bed hungover, thinking about how much I have to do before I leave tomorrow night to go to Norway! 

I thought I'd quickly share with you some pics of my night! Whatever you did and wherever you were, I hope you had a wicked night like I did!! 

A terrible picture of my outfit

What did you do for your New Years?

Christmas Make Up - Panto!

Last year my mum got married in September, and our closest family friends gave us 4 tickets to go to the Panto. We decided that we should make it a tradition as it was so good and we had such a lovely time. We went yesterday to see Aladdin. It was really good! I love things like that.

The only slightly awkward thing is I've only just noticed I have a smudged eyebrow! 

It really put me off posting these pictures but hey-ho, what can I do!

Bro didn't want to have a picture :-(

Have you been to any pantos this year?! 

ELF brush set

I knew I was getting some kind of brushes because of mum hinting, but I wasn't sure which.. I'm soooo glad I got this brush set, I think she saw me looking at it because I was going to buy it myself! I'm yet to try the brushes (I will have tried them once you've read this.. scheduled post at its finest!) but I might do a full review in future. 

Have you tried these brushes?! 

Christmas presents - new makeup

I guess you're going to see a lot of these posts in the near future, and probably become verrrryyyy bored of them. I had some time spare this morning so I thought I'd jump the gun and get mine in quickly! I was thinking of doing a mini series but then I thought most items I've received/will be receiving aren't fashion/beauty related, so I will just do posts as they come. Enough rambling.

I got a new camera! Wheey! I was so excited but now I have it, I have to admit its not the best considering the price tag.. and maybe my expectations were too high anyway! But nevertheless, hopefully the pictures will be slightly better than iPhone quality! 

I've come to a point where I have completely run out of everything makeup related, so my mum just got me a whole new EVERYTHING! I forgot to include in this but I also got a ELF 100 piece eyeshadow set which is amazing!

All my new bits. I'm sooo super happy and I might even post a makeup-of-the-day kind of post later using all my new things! Hehe.

Did you get any new makeup?! What did you get for Christmas?
