Hair styles I've thought about..


PARIS is in 3 days, if you count today as well, which I do!!! It's going to be really exciting as it's my first trip out of England after coming here. You see, I was born in a uncivilised, crap country (no offence) called Burma which is covered with rain forests which made itself a rain forest: 
I was born in a city there called Rangoon and came to Scotland and lived THERE for a year then when I came to England I was half way through year 01, which makes me not...well basically a freshee judging by how long I've lived here and when children starts to talk.  >_<
Moving on, I actually wanted to post about hairstyles I've come up with to do on that day. I'm actually going to pack a Supreme denim hat just in case it's sunnier than I expected which is 14-16 degrees. So, I browsed Youtube for hours yesterday and I kind of jumped for joy when I found amazing ideas!

NUMBER 01 
This hairstyle is by CGH - Cute Girls Hairstyles and it's a waterfall braid. I really like this as if you want to keep your hair down as well as not make it look boring.



NUMBER 02
This hairstyle is a messy bun. I've had failed attempts at messy bun but this is the one for me and so it could be the one for you too.


This worked even better for me and it's still by CGH. This made me think I have to try this as its so super cute and between casual and trendy.


NUMBER 03 
This is really good for keeping hair out of your face and neck on a really hot summer day. It's really optional if you keep your fringe out (if you HAVE a fringe) or not! :) You can do this with a bandanna and other tying fabric as well.  


NUMBER 04 
I love this cos if you're someone who constantly has a hobbit of tucking your hair behind your ear then this is perfect when you want your hands free.


This is it and I will tell you some time tomorrow what hairstyle I have chosen for me and the clothes I'm going to wear. Thank you LOADS for reading >_<

Light Make-up :)

I am going to go to Paris soon on Tuesday next week to be precise and I have thought about make-up, hair ideas and clothes, months in advance - some may say I'm such a perfectionist and I kinda am. Though I don't tell my friends this but I think they can tell but I just HAVE to be right and everything I do has to be perfect. It doesn't mean I don't get in any trouble, I have been in trouble several times and got countless detentions but not as bad as an exclusion as that would ruin my PERFECT ATTENDANCE. One of my besties have had an exclusion but I'M NOT GOING TO NAME ANY NAMES!!
Moving on, when I go to Paris, as it's a day trip I will wear casual light make-up. As I have to wake up at 3 am so that I can catch my coach at 4:30 am and pack food this leaves me with very little time to do my make-up and hair! Eeeek! But when you have time you can try this quick, fresh, spring make-up idea inspired by Zoella! If you have not heard of Zoella check her out on Youtube she is very inspiring and popular on social media. You can find her on:

She doesn't usually wear glasses >_< 
First you can use the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation "Mont Blanc"  and apply it on your face with the Zoeva 102 Silk Finish brush.  


It hides spots and blemishes really well. It is used according to your skin tone. 
Next you can apply the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer 'Ivory" under your eyelids, on your chin, on top of the bridge of your nose as well and other parts where you might need it. And you can use the Zoeva 101 Face Shape brush to lightly blend it in. 


This is also according to your skin tone. Contouring your face is not only to make your face appear smaller, its also to add some colour to your face if your are pale. 
Then using the Mac 109 brush apply the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzer "Medium Deep" so that the face does not look so pale. And using the Zoeva 106 Powder brush gently brush it on your neck as well and face so that it all blends more properly in. 


That brush may come with or without your bronzer and the effects are the same whether you use it or not.
After using the Estee Lauder Pure Colour "Tease" and the Zoeva 127 Luxe Sheer Cheek brush smear the product on your cheek bones, bridge of the nose, temples and chin. 





Next using the Soap & Glory "Archery" eyebrow pencil outline your eyebrows very carefully this gives it a more full and neatly trimmed eyebrow shape. 


Most people would definitely recommend this!
For a more "look at my eyes" look you could use the Terry Ombre Blackstar "Frozen Quartz" which is basically like an eye shadow but it is in a pen-like form. To just smear it and not look too glossy you can use the Zoeva 231 Petite Crease brush to blend it a bit at the upper bits of the eye lids and the corners inside your eyes.  


If you prefer a different colour as it doesn't suit your style, etc. These are the other available colours you could find in store. 


Obviously these aren't all the colours but I would recommend them as well.
Using the Terry Ombre Blackstar "Blond Opal" outline the waterline and the insides of your eyes with the Zoeva 238 Precise Shader to blend. This can make your eyes seem bigger, the same affect that a white eye-liner does. 





Using the same brush smear the Mac Eyeshadow "Mystery" on the eye-lash line at the top and the eye-lash line at the bottom.
 



After with the Charlotte Tilbury "Full Fat Lashes 5" or any other mascara that's been making you fall in love with them apply it on the top top lashes. Focus on the middle if you wish to get rounder eyes but if you already do focus on the sides. If it's not working really well use an eyelash curler. It does help trust me! 


Then using the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara apply carefully to the bottom lashes. This mascara is designed only for this purpose so that it is more accurate :) 


For the finishing touch use the Tanya Burr Lipgloss "Chic" to add some colour to your lips. You can apply the bottom lip then press your lips together or you can go ahead and apply both for a more shinier, glossier lips. 


There are also a wide variety of colours to choose from.
I don't usually do this stuff so if you would like to read more then please write a comment however I have only done this because of me going PARIS. I will also post hair ideas and my outfits later but for reading so far THANKS >_< 

My passion for rowing

Starting from Yr 07 I fell in love with rowing... I was really crap from the beginning but I was average! My sister told me about rowing clubs on Wednesdays at our school and I viewed it as staying healthy and fit also as a hobby. My first competition was on Valentine's Day last year, I was alright... I was actually 6th out of 10 people in my year when competing with other schools. I was happy! Really happy but what let me down was when I got 20th place out of over 30 people in a big competition called NJIRC - National Junior Indoor Rowing Competition which is held every year in March and only a selected few got to go.. I was lucky enough to go but I had to work on my skills.
This year I have improved loads and that's a good thing because rowing for 3 mins as fast as you can is HARD! Next year is going to be 4 mins (God help)!! I actually reached 6th place and we were leading fourth out of everybody in the Relay (rowing). My bestie Annia, www.blonde-annia.blogspot.co.uk, was 1st place and I was so proud of her for it! We all pushed ourselves and Adela and Tess got joint 10th which shows their telepathic connection. Now we are definite to row ON WATER in around June. My sister had done that and as she and her team received fourth place, they got tickets to the Paralympics. These are their photos: My sis is the short one with folded arms by the tall man!



 I also have pictures of going to NJIRC but unfortunately they are on my phone and I am clueless with stuff like this that's why I'm planning not to take ICT as a GCSE option! However, I will find a way to transfer them and will post them as soon as I can! Sorry but for now this is how it looks like:


As you can see they are not original photos but I hope I will be finding an answer to the problem. Thank you and I will post an update soon >_<

Music pick of the Week

For every Friday I thought I should do a Music pick of the Week to get people listening to new songs every week and listening to songs that are a lot more popular and "the talk".
"Gas Pedal" by Sage The Gemini was really popular like a month ago and it always came on the radio.
For now I have two suggestions:

Happy by Pharrell Williams 


Team by Lorde 



Follow my besties

I really want you to read my best-friends' blogs as well as they are really interesting and different in their own way! I can't guarantee you that you will LOVE their blogs but I view them as awesome enough to give time and read >_<

Follow my blonde best-friend who is the most closest to me that I am like a sister to her. We get along really well, never have fights and she never bores me! Her name is Annia and I was her friend since Yr 07 - she has an awesome personality and if you're looking for make-up tips you can just read her blog and it'll help you alot!

She is eating a baguette so she looks kinda weird but this is in the playground at our school. Don't worry the floor is absolutely clean - we have conservation duties... ugh  Always making the world a better place (!) Can't blame them though I'm a litter bug. You will see more of her if you go check out her blog at www.blonde-annia.blogspot.co.uk. 
She is really artsy with her make-up and she enjoys sharing her ideas so please check them out. It does mean a lot to her! Thanks... But if you prefer to read more of a lifestyle blog check these out!
www.tess-turtle.blogspot.co.uk 
www.adelabellalife.blogspot.co.uk 
The one on top is Adela and the one below is Tess. They actually met each-other in primary as their schools were next to each other and but finally became close in secondary. The picture is kinda fuzzy so I am sorry. 

This was when we went Rochester in Yr 07. Everyone says this and she knows but Tess has the most amazing hair EVER! It's really healthy and silky and her eyes are hazel with green and I bet 100% when she grows up she'll be even more quiche. They are all my besties and I love them in a friend way. 
They have lives of their own they would like to share. Tess' blog is the most popular out of all of us as it is EPIC and also the first one to write a blog. Adela's one is really interesting as well so please go ahead and read them. As mines and Annia's blogs are kind of new we are doing our best to update our posts and as to complete as many as we can. Thanks for reading I actually have to go as I have loads of coursework to complete, will explain later :)

30. My fav mascara is Scandaleyes by Rimmel London.
31. My fav lip balm is Baby Lips Intensive Care. One of my best friends gave it to me for my birthday and I really liked it. It doesn't give any colour so it's not noticeable and won't be told off in places at school where there is a NO MAKE-UP policy.
32. I like stay matte foundation by Rimmel London because it blends in well with my face. I apply this after this lotion called Ponds.

 tone.
   33. After I have a shower, I use John Freida Frizz Ease before I blow dry my hair or even when I'm letting it air dry. I just can't risk HEAT DAMAGE.

39. I dip-dyed my hair blonde! Aaaagh! Such a change... it's nice that people like it though.
40. I live in England by the way! Not America as you can see the Baby Lips I showed you were not all as only those were only released in England. >_<
41. There are movies I am dying to watch: Thor The Dark World, Divergent, The Fault In Our Stars, That Awkward Moment and The Quiet Ones. 














42. I like to exercise very early in the morning. So if I miss jogging then the fact that I have PE first lesson on Wednesday and Friday is really good.
43. I have a connection with rowing and netball. I currently go rowing club and netball but I am giving badminton a try after as well.
44. I hate being put in a really crap team for netball at school and the game doesn't flow cos people don't know how to pass a ball or defend! What's worse is when that happens on a day I'm assessed! Not too long a go someone from my team threw a ball at me in panic - knocked off my glasses and broke one of the glass. It left a mark under my right eye. Ouch.
45. I tan and get dark really easily so I use high SPF factor even when its just 16 degrees.

47. This is my favourite dance that I discovered by Crayon Pop called Bing Bing. If this video does not work I am truly sorry!
48. I have weird yet quiche best-friends who also have blogs like me! I will do a post about that very soon so stick around or follow me and my best-friends. I will be very thank full if you do as it means a lot to me.
49. I use Baby Johnson No Tears Shampoo along with Garnier Fructis. It's cos it works with my hair really well and it looks healthy or so I've been told!
