So this months issue of GLAMOUR magazine came with a lovely full size bottle of Nails Inc. nail polish. The colour I received was 'Basil Street' and I totally love it!! It's a nude/light toffee colour and it applies really well onto the nail. After just two coats you're all set!
The colour is great for mutli-wear i.e you can wear it for a casual coffee or a night out with your friends! It matches every outfit and I really recommend it to everyone :) Also, I've had mine of for 3 days now and there isn't a single chip in sight and I use my hands a lot because I do a lot of writing, washing up etc. Definitely a recommend buy!!
Love your nails. :)

Garnier BB Cream
So, I received my free samples of Garnier BB cream last week and my immediate reaction was 'Oh, i like the packaging!' It was in a sort of, fold over card board box and it had little quotes from reviews on it and it had pictures and things on it.
Inside the little box was a little pocket where the samples were, there are 3 sample sachets which would probably last about 2/ 2 and a half weeks. There's also a £1 money off voucher for any purchase of Garnier BB cream and a few other products. Pretty useful if you like the sample :)
Finally after checking out the packaging and everything, I opened up a sachet and tried it out. I had a pretty big spot on my nose on the day I got it so it was great timing! So, I put it on and well, it was pretty damn great! It gives an incredibly light coverage but its enough to cover spots/blemishes. It is also really easy to apply and blends in really well so you can say goodbye to any smears!! It's also really handy to carry around with you because, due to it being just like cream, it absorbs into your skin and if you wanted to keep touching up throughout the day, you can because it doesn't look patchy at all and you cant tell if you have more than one layer on!! It's also really easy to take off and because you don't have to put a lot of it on, you don't have to struggle scrubbing it off your face because it's so light! Oh, and also it has SPF 15 so it's great for the daily protection that your skin needs!
The only criticism I have to it is this: when I put it on one day, after moisturising, it really highlighted a bit of dry skin that I had around my chin, this was quite annoying because I took it off put on more moisturiser and re applied it but it STILL looked dry. But then, after letting my skin settle, it did go away which I was pleased with.
So, all in all it's a great product and I will definitely be buying it once I've used up my samples!! I definitely think it's well worth buying because it really is a great all-in-one!!
GO BB!! :)

NOOO!!
woops.. it seems that my phone isn't working. It's a blackberry, hold the insults please. hahaha!!
So, my keypad hasn't being working properly for a few months now but I've been coping with it. And now, it just won't do anything. I can use the trackpad but its practically useless!! My whole phone is just frustrating me and I'm up right now trying to figure out how to fix the damn thing!!
I attempted using a hairdryer to 'dry it out' because apparently the problem is caused by water/moisture but NO! it hasn't helped :(
I feel like smashing my phone into pieces but I guess that would be even worse!!
I have to stick with this phone until february when i get my upgrade. I might ditch blackberry and join the iPhone revolution!!!

Believe in Yourself
After realising tha your life is what you make it, you want to do nothing but make it right. I've never been quite the confident person and I know it's something I need to work on. But my confidence is a working progress and seeing new faces at college has definitely boosted me up one step. The idea of being with totally new people in practically all of my subjects was pretty daunting but I've told myself from the start that I'm not going to pretend. I'm not going to be they shy one sat alone in the corner anymore because I don't want to be like that. Yeah ok so the first day wasn' great, I barely knew anyone and to be honest I didn't speak to many people but I've made friends in a few classes but only because I told myself I would do it. I became comforted by the belief that I would be able to do it and now, I've done it. I've mixed with all kinds of people in my lessons and I totally love it :)
The work load has been hard but I'm handling it (I hope!!). There are some people who I can already see falling behind, not handing in work and not turning up to lessons on time. I'm glad to say that I'm not one of these people. I've kept up to date with my work and am soon to start a piece of coursework for film studies- a 1500 word essay on 5 minutes of film. It will be hard but I've had enough practice with essay writing for film so I'm confident enough to say I will be able to do it.
I've followed my gut instinct when being at college. I've learned to just go with it and not wait around but, most importantly, I believe in myself. I believe that if I try my VERY hardest I know that I will do well. I'm going to get the grades I want because I'm going to put in as much work and effort as possible. Nothing's gonna stop me from being at the top. Forget target grades because I want to exceed them. I have all the support I need, teacher family and great friends. As long as I saty on track, their should be no problem.
So, my message to you? Just go for it, if you want something, go and get it. Don't waste time waiting for someone to come and help you up, just get up and go. It's your life, believe in yourself, set your own goals and go after them. Chase your dreams before its too late, you know you want to, go on, I can see you edging to go so JUST GO!!!!!!

Aaaaahhh What A Day!!
Sunday 25th September 2011. Train Leaves at 9:55. Destination: LONDON EUSTON!!
Oh yes, LONDON!! Sunday was the day that me and my AMAZING friend Abi went over to London. We had tickets for Buckingham Palace where we could have a tour of the state rooms & see the Royal Wedding Collection!!
We got to the train station around 9:45am and waited for our train to get to the platform. When it arrived, we sat our little butts down and got ready to have a great day; one which we will remember for quite a while!!
The journey was ok. There was a group of men sat next to us who were drinking beer and it kind of smelled but it was managable. I did feel a bit sick on the way but no vomit so it wall ALL good :)
We reached London at about 11:30. This was great timing because we had enough time to catch the tubes to take us to where we needed to go and we still had pleanty of time until our tour of the Palace which started at 1:00 pm. We got to the palace at about 12/12:15 and so we decided to sit in the park and have a little snack and rest. When it got to about 12:45, we went back to the entrance for the palace tour and swiftly made our way in.
We went through the security check and of course it just HAD to beep on Abi. Not me though, obviously her metallic structure is a problem.. hahaa.
We got our audio tours and made our way through. The entire palace was just AMAZING, like nothing I have ever seen before!! And the Royal Wedding Collection, well don't get me started on that, amazing, jut amazing!! So much detail ad thought went into everything!! When you hear about the ins and outs of the AMAZING wedding dress you realise jut how amazing it is!! Wow, just WOW!!
We also got to see the 'Royal Fabergé' collection which was OUTSTANDING!! So many little figurines and amazing pieces with so much detail and precision!! A favourite of mine was a little indian elephant with a man sat on top. It was SO small but yet nothing was missed. Every last wrinkle was on the elephant!!
So, after the tour, we made our way out of the palace and walked over to Clarence House. We didn't really get close to it due to the security and guards but it was nice to see it in real life haha!! After seeing Clarence House, we went over to a park and decided where we would go next. We also managed to see a few little squirrels!!
Next up, we made our way over to see Big Ben and big it was!! We only saw it from a distance but we were close enough to see how amazingly big it is!! There were a few of those annoying chinese tourists around so we quickly made our way to the underground as we were now heading to Covent Garden!
We very nearly got lost but we soon realised we were looking at the wrong tube direction thingy and found the right one!! So, when we got to Covent Garden, we looked for Lilly Allen's shop 'Lucy In Disguise' but we failed to find it and we actually got really frustrated!! But at least we tried!
After we this, we were slightly stuck about where to go. We had about 2 hours before our train home and we needed something to do so, we stopped for a hot chocolate in Starbucks and then made our way into our future. Yep, that's right, our future.
But before we got there, we were rudely interrupter by a lady trying to give us free tickets to a 'film' about why people are paranoid. She wouldn't take no for an answer!! Silly woman!!
Next Stop: RADA & UCL.
Royal Academy of Dramatic Art & University College London. The university Abi inspires to go to and the university I inspire to go to. AND it just so happens that they are only a 5 minute walk away from one another!! Pretty cool I know and to top things off, there is a hospital right near the two universities so we know we are safe if we decide to go to the universities!!
So, after being wowed by our universities, we looked at our clocks and realised it was half 6!! We needed to be at Euston train station for 7 and we were running late!! The next 20 minutes were a mad rush on and off tubes but we reached Euston train station in good time and we even beat the train!! haha!!
We sat on the train when it arrived and had a relaxing journey back! Our feet were just about to fall off when we got on the train but it was DEFINITELY worth it!! We had such an amazing day and I would more than love to do it again!!!
I'm so glad I have such an amazing friend to share such an experience with!! :D
I cannot wait until something like this happens again!!!!!!!!!!!

This sunshine is AMAZING!! Totally loving this week. It's funny how it's been predicted to snow mid october but yet we are experiencing a week which could be the hottest in so many years!! Waheyy!!
Unfortunately I've been stuck in college all week so haven't got to enjoy the sun as much as I would have liked BUT I did get out in it every chance I could :D
Hope everyone has been enjoying the sun as much as me or even more :) What's everyone done to enjoy it?? Drop a few comments if you want.
Keep smiling while the sun is shining!!

I'm back ;)
Hello!!
I'm so sorry for neglecting my blog recently. I haven't posted in AGES!! I've been SO busy, I've started college so I've had a lot of work to do, my first week was the worst!! I was bombarded with essays and assignments but worry not, I got them all in on time and I got good marks for them all!!
The subjects I'm studying are: Film Studies, Sociology, Psychology and Law. All are A-Levels :)
The next 2 years are gonna be pretty intense now. People say that even university is easier than A-Levels!! Woohooo... NOT! BUT, studying A-Levels DOES come with an advantage!! I get about 12 hours free a week. They're called 'study periods' but I don't study in all of the 12 hours haha!! EXAMPLE: today I went into town and went shopping in 2 free hours that I had!! Pretty cool right?!
So college isn't too bad, the first week was hard; I didn't know anyone in my lessons and generally felt like I knew no one in college. I've started to make more friends but everyone already has their own friendship groups so I can't just go and stay with them at lunch times and things haha!! I'm kind of enjoying college but I'm not massively enjoying it. I think it might get better with time but hey, I just need to stick it out for 2 years and deal with it I guess hahahahaha!!
So, sorry my blog is a bit dry today but I will try and do a few when I get a bit of spare time. College is tiring me out a lot so I tend to come home, do a bit of revision (yes I'm already revising!!!) and then I have dinner and just try and relax. It's hard because when it gets to about 9:00 pm I start to feel really tired but I know that if I go up to bed, I won't get any sleep!!
Anyway, sorry for not blogging lately but like I said, I'll try and keep a few blogs coming!!
It's all love fellow readers ;)
