Bullies

Hellooooo

So as may notice by the title this post is about bullies. I not going to give it a witty,clever title because, well it doesn't deserve a good title. I, personally have never been bullied properly in my life but I have been downgraded by people before so I'm sorry if you think I shouldn't post about this because 'I don't know what it is like' but some of my friends do and they have given me an insight into what goes through their minds. 

Firstly let's just get one thing straight, bullies... you are not cool, clever or funny for picking on a minority, you are selfish, evil and loathsome people that deserve to be punished. It's bullies that drive people to do awful things such as self harm or even feel that they'd rather die than be who they are. This is sick and wrong, that you should have so much power and influence in their life that they feel that they have to change themselves. Because they're different from you, have different tastes, look different, learn different, love different, live different. No one should be bullied because no one genuinely deserves to be bullied because of who they are. So what if they have a bad family, like the opposite sex, look a certain way that gives you no right to pick them out and target them, because last time I checked no one is perfect and if someone targeted you because of your insecurities or your lifestyle choices you wouldn't be nearly as cocky or as mean as you are now. Consider that bullies, what would you do if someone said that to you?

When I was younger (year 7- year 9) there was this one person (who I will obviously not name) who would pick on me. She was older than me and hated me for some bizarre reason and me being me I didn't defend myself, because I can't. I'm quite a weak person. This may have something to do with the fact I never grew up having to defend myself but still she made me think" why does she hate me?" "What have I done?" And I can bet you a lot of bullying victims feel the same way. Let me tell you right now. You don't deserve to be pushed around by someone, you are not alone, they're ARE people who will help, who will understand, who will know what you're going through. Never think you're alone because you're not. 

Bullying needs to be tackled in schools, if you see someone, even if you think it might just be a joke being bullied. TELL SOMEONE. Because I can guarantee the victim won't want to report it so it's up to brave souls to help those who can't help themselves, to make sure they are not alone.

If anyone is reading this I hope this helps or encourages you to help someone

Music and my life...

Helloooo!

So today I thought  I'd share what my music obsessions are right now and just a little bit about how bigger part music plays in my life. From when I was just a little music was a passion of mine. Not singing. Let's just get one thing straight I CANNOT sing, I literally sound like a cat being run over by a steamroller. Yeah that bad. I mean listening to music back when I was around 8 I went to my first concert; Meatloaf if you don't know who they are you should be ashamed of yourself. I loved and will always love Meatloaf, I think they are just... oh god they're so talented. As I got older I broke out of my comfort area which was mainly rock such as Meatloaf, AC/DC & The Darkness which I had started listening to because of my dad who is also a massive music addict. 

Once I joined high school I was introduced to the modern charts, and slowly the charts started to dominate my music tastes. I mean I still had all my older tastes embedded into me, but my I-pod was now being dominated by the likes of JLS, Black Eyed Peas and David Guetta. It was only when I was around 13 that I realised wait I hate a lot of the songs in the charts and I'm the brainless idiot who's downloading them so I can be one of the 'cool' kids. When in actual fact I had a bunch of friends who loved similar music tastes to that of what I had before the chart pressure took hold. I began to discover new groups that were amazing and I listened to almost continuously for example...

• Mumford and sons- heard of them before but never really got into them 
• 30 seconds to mars- Jared Leto you fine specimen 
• Skrillex- yep from Mumford and sons to Skrillex that how far I go

That's just to list a few. Music has played a huge part in my life, I could not live without it, it makes me happy when I'm sad, it makes me let go of everything going on around it lets me see a world beyond the one I'm living in. That sounds cheesy but it's completely true. Also for anyone out there who tries to call me restricted in my music tastes try scrolling don a few of my playlist you'll find something along the lines of alt-j, Skrillex, Katy Perry, Mumford & sons and Linkin Park to name a few. So don't tell me I have crap music tastes because I don't, your music taste can't be crap it's your own opinion I mean there are bands that are batter than others but don' go criticising other people's music tastes if you haven't experienced theirs first.

Concerts I've been to....

• Meatloaf
• The Wanted x2
• The Proclaimers
• Adele
• Madonna
• One direction
• Sigur Ros
• Black stone cherry 
• Scouting for girls

August Favourites...

Hellooooo

I do apologise for not blogging very much I have been holiday (whoop whoop) and the house we were in didn't have a good enough internet connection to upload pictures and stuff. But today I got back so i decided I'd post my monthly favourites.

Beauty Favourites . . 

Barry M nail Gelly's- from left to right Prickly Pear, Greenberry & Blueberry
all £3.99

First up is the Barry M nail Gellys. These are something that god himself must have fashioned because quite frankly they are AMAZING! they go so creamy and are opaque colours as well so no putting on about 10 coats for these you'll need 2 at most. I think they have a really amazing colour range and for £3.99 they are well worth it!

Maybelline dream fresh BB cream shade-light around £6

Next in beauty is a BB cream. I went to Northern Ireland this year and we did a lot of walking and beach days so I needed a BB cream just to cover up on those days instead of wearing a foundation. I found this and guess what I really like it. I gives a really nice feel on the skin and it does have coverage in it. One thing I would say is the colour range of it isn't great but apart from that it's really good.

Thirdly and finally in my beauty favourites is something from a brand I never thought I'd like. It's brand Barbara Daly make-up which you can find at Tesco I think. Well this is their high impact mascara and let me tell you it does what it says on the tin, or tube in this case. It gives really good volume and length to my stubby eyelashes so it's perfect for me!





Other Favourites . . .

music wise I think it has to be between 2, the first being Ellie Goulding, I think I've had burn on replay for the past 2 weeks I love how unique her voice is and her style. Plus look at her.... she's gorgeous!





Number 2 in the music department would have to be Greg Laswell. Not particularly well known I think but I love his voice and his music is so relaxing to me. My dad listened to him and thought he was really depressing in his music but I love listening to saddish music, not really sure why though. 







In the YouTube department I have been watching a lot of Essie button, she is a beauty blogger and actually has a blog of her own she's really big right now so I've been watching her constantly for the past month. Another beauty blogger is voussontbeauetbelle I've been watching her religiously this month, I think she's so naturally funny and her hair is to die for!!! Last YouTuber is someone only this month I really watched and that is Sawyer Hartman. I saw his channel a lot then watched a collab he did with Tyler Oakley so I started watching his videos and now I'm hooked, he is a phenomenal photographer and camera man and his Thru My Eyes videos are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

well there you have some of my August favourites hope if you're reading this you enjoyed it.
