CRANK IT UP!

RIGHT, so here we have it!! JUKEBOX HAS ARRIVED!!

I got my copy a bit late due to 'unforeseen circumstances' but anyway when I first got to listen to it properly I was actually so amazed at it!!
Here is the track listing:
Track 01- She makes me wanna
Track 02- Do you feel what I feel
Track 03- Teach me how to Dance
Track 04- Take a Chance On Me
Track 05- Go Harder
Track 06- So Many Girls
Track 07- 3D
Track 08- Take You Down
Track 09- Innocence
Track 10- Killed By Love
Track 11- Never Gonna Stop
Track 12- Shy of The Cool

So, my favourites on the album? hmm.. well the entire album is just brilliant but if I had to pick 3 favourites I would probably choose: Do you feel What I feel, Take A Chance On Me and Shy Of the Cool. I think for me, I feel like their is a whole lot of emotion packed into this album. One disk containing so much emotion!! It's just great!! You have that aspect of love but yet there is so much energy in some of the songs too which is just great!! OK now JLS clearly aren't everyone's cup of tea but I think a lot of the songs, for example Take A Chance On Me, everyone can relate to in some way. Music is open to so much interpretation. Just take a generic lyric from the song and add your own interpretation to it!

Try it, I'll give you a few to try out from the song Take A Chance On me by JLS:

-'Reach out take my hand' think about: friendship, love, trust.
-'You give 100 percent but you've never seen a cent' think about: working hard but not feeling rewarded, trying so hard to please someone but nothing works, not feeling like your work is appreciated
-'But you cannot get past the fear' think about: not wearing something because you don't know what people will think, being too scared to do something you really want to do.

So, do you see what I mean. Music is open to so much interpretation. Everyone has their own take on life. Next time, when you listen to a piece of music, crank up the volume or listen to it quietly but whatever you do, listen carefully and think about what makes that piece of music so great. It could be the lyrics, the backing track anything. Just make it mea something to you, make it personal. Every artist wants their fans to relate to their music not just listen to it!! Try it, it will work!!

:D

Prom Pictures :)

So I promised that I would upload a few picture from my prom which I had taken at my house and then edited. It has been a very long wait but they have arrived so I shall post a few of the jewellery. Enjoy & comment if you wish :)

Here's a picture of the earrings I wore. You can also see the lovely detail on the dress.

This is a full length of the dress. It is a cross between english and asian style. (Chopped my head out of the picture)

Here's a close up of the hand jewellery I wore. It was brought from an asian jewellery store.

Presents!!

So, my Dad went to India for 2 weeks because there was a family wedding over there. He brought me back some amazing presents so I thought I'd share the most amazing ones with all you lovely people :) Feast your sparkly little eyes on these!!

A set of silver bangles- There are 16 bangles in this set, 2 are chunky and the rest are thin but some have some great detail on them!

This is a set of 8 gold bracelets- It has 4 chunky bracelets in and every single one has great detail on.

This is a set of 4 gold bracelets with coloured gems on. I totally love the turquoise colour!!  

This is a more simple set of bangles. There are 16 in this set- 12 plain and 4 with the diamonds on. Great elegance!

Now I totally love this bracelet- It's a clamp bracelet and the detail on it is just amazing!  I love the colour too.

Just a simple clamp bracelet with an added sparkle:)

Nails Inc. Nail varnish

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!! :)

Full size bottle- available in most beauty stores

This is the sample box 

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!!!!!!
