2014

2014 has been a year that has brought excitement, confusion and most of all happiness! I have so many good memories that have happened this year, they are all ones that I will treasure forever! 

I'll start by saying thank you to my family who have each year brought happiness to my life and have supported me throughout everything! I want to say thank you to Karen because this year I have been to the incredible Harry Potter Studios for my birthday in March and of course I had the best time of my life! So thank you! 

I want to also thank my two main friends Steve and Destiny for making my three years of college so special and making every moment a moment to remember! I also want to thank my other friends from college because without you guys I would not have the memories and stories I can treasure forever!

I want to say a BIG thank you to Joel for bringing so much happiness in my life. I know we have only been talking for 5 months or so now but it seems like I've known you my whole life! I will be forever grateful for having you back in my life and I'll be forever grateful that I have gained such a great friend! :)

2014 has been a great year, as I personally think I have grown up a lot from just trying to figure out what I want to do with my life but 2015 is going to be my year as I want to get fitter and get a job to earn money to encourage myself to travel in the years to come! As I really want to travel the world! Especially Paris!!! 

And lastly, To Everyone I have met in my life I want to say thank you for bringing me to the place I am in now because without you being on a few journeys with me I would not be where I am today! So THANK YOU and I hope you all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Christmas 2014

Hello, since I lasted posted we have all had Christmas! I hope you all had a lovely day with your family and I hope you all got what you wanted! 

I personally had a great Christmas, on Christmas eve I had my uncle and auntie up which was lovely because we don't see them that much so it was lovely to spend time with my family!. On Christmas day, I spent the day with my dad, mum and sister which was lovely to watch television together and just hang out and relax together. Finally on boxing day, I had my uncle and cousin up for dinner then my other uncle and auntie came up to join us which was great because we had pretty much all the family at my house, I did enjoy all three days because each day turned into a special day celebrated with family. 

Here is a few photos that I took on Christmas day!

Christmas 2014

So its that time of year again, when the tree comes down, candles start burning festive scents and the advent calendar starts the countdown to.....CHRISTMAS!!!! 
I love Christmas as it's the one time of the year you can enjoy festive coloured lights and festive scented candles and also enjoy mouth watering chocolates in the morning from your advent calenders. 

Here is a few selection of photos of what my living room tree is like:

ENJOY!

Growing up!

As I get older I find that responsibility and independence is 2 big steps, I and everyone in the world has to take in their lives. As I'm a very shy person, taking those two steps are very scary for me! Also I found in life, not everything happens how you imagine. As for a few years I have like someone but it has only just come to me that I have wasted those years thinking what if this happened and what would I do if this happened or someone said this. etc. By doing this and thinking these things I have really been living for that certain someone until one day he may like me back but that's wrong! that's stupid! I have wasted though years thinking about him but what I should been doing is thinking about my life and how I want to live it!. 

My life now is gong to be about me! I am going to start thinking about myself bit more and to get my life sorted! Yes I'm going to see boys that I like but I'm not going to make them a main part in my life! 
What I'm trying to say is if you like a certain person, keep your life on track and include them in pats of your life,but if your life is a bit of a mess and you don't know what you want to do in life (like me) then my advice is to start your life as a fresh, start applying for jobs and encourage yourself to do more. When the time feels right, include people in your life as you and your life will be settled and you will feel fresher and prepared to deal with other things!

I'm only 19 and I'm finding life quite difficult but I know in the new year, I'm going to sort my life out and yes it may not be perfect but as I take those steps of responsibility and independence I know my life will turn around for the good.Which I am kind of looking forward to see where my life will take me!

I really hope some of these things have helped you in some way or form,if your are going through this kind of thing yourself! feel free to comment and let me know what your struggling with (if you want too) and I will try and help and advice you!Or you can comment to let me know if you have any other advice that may help me and anyone who reads this! :D

The Christmas tag!!

           Now I'm on bloglovin I saw a thing going around which was called 'the Christmas tag!' 
                                                                    so I thought I would do as well.

                                                      1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?

My FAVOURITE Christmas movie is 'the Christmas carol' which I watch religiously each year, I will probably still will even when I'm older! I find the Christmas carol lovely to watch even though Scrooge is a nasty man but I love how the three spirits change him for the better!
My second favourite is 'the Polar Express' because come on! it a magical train going to the north pole! who doesn't love it!!

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

My family wait until Christmas morning! We start the day  at 6:30 or around that time! and we head to the living with our stockings and crackers in our pjs, we wish everyone a merry Christmas, we give my dog a present to keep her busy while we open ours! and then we have a routine on who opens their presents first, the routine is my sister opens first then me then mum then dad. Once we have opened our presents and had our crackers. We set up for the main Christmas present which is very very exciting!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

My favourite memory is when my nan use to come round for Christmas each year and watch my and my sister open our present, we use to show her each and every one and even though she didn't know what many of them of been or how it works, she had a bright smile on her face because we were happy! 

4. Favourite festive food?

This is hard because I love the tin of sweets you can get! which my favourite in the quality streets (or roses) is the strawberry chocolate sweet! But I think my favourite festive food is a good Christmas dinner! Nothing can beat a good  Christmas dinner! 

5. Favourite Christmas gift?

This is very very difficult to say because I love all the present I get and I appreciate each and every one but I think the one that sticks out is when my sister got my a signed copy of a Selena Gomez album which at the time you couldn't get in the UK.Which i ended up crying ha-ha

6. Favourite Christmas scent?

My favourite scent is the smell of fresh opened tin of roses, which is were you get all the scents from the chocolates hit you all at once especially the strawberry! Once I smell that I know its Christmas!

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

Yes, my family always have ham, egg and chips. Its not Christmas eve if we don't have that meal

8. What tops your tree?

My living room (front room) tree has a lovely red bow on top! On top of my nan's tree which sits in my family's kitchen is a big gold star. On top of my mums tree in her bedroom is a snowflake and on top of mine and my sister room (we share a room) is a  gold glittery angel.

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?

My gift as a kid I wanted was moon boots, but I never got sadly!


10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?

Mine is the build up to Christmas.I do love Christmas Day though  it's always goes too fast, whereas the build-up from the end of November that just feels magical!  This includes Christmas shopping, tasty festive treats and baking, Christmas decorating and then sitting with only the Christmas tree lights on watching TV and  of course lots of Christmas film watching weekends!  

I hope you enjoyed this Christmas tag! and plus let me know what your answers are in the comments!

My Life Dilemma (kind of)

As I'm 19 years old, I'm trying to find my path of what I want to do for my future ahead. Which is hard for me as I am not the most confident girl in the world, I'm a very shy person which for me is very hard to talk to strangers and be independent. As I get older I realize I can't rile on other people all my life! I know I have my whole life ahead for me to decide what I want to do and settle into a job/project, but I have set myself a goal to build my confidence and face my fear for a till (as I'm brilliant at money like making change), but my goal is to write up my CV and hand in my CV to as many shops as possible and then see what happens, but that thought excites me and scares me but I know I need to do it. I need face my fear and go on this journey and adventure of my life on my own, and find what I am comfortable with. I find it easier myself to type out my opinions or type to someone rather than talking to a person as I get very uncomfortable with new people (stranger not friends) and get very aware of what I'm saying or acting can make someone like me, as with typing I find I can find better words or phrases to make someone like me or something which is very weird and stupid as you would think talking to someone  (strangers) would be easier.
The one thing I am pretty confident with is art but I don't know how I can get into that at the moment. Right now I prefer art as a hobby but I would like to make my own art and have some art things like a book or art work of my own in shops around the world.
I do have a separate blog to put my art stuff on, Here is the link: http://artbyshula.blogspot.co.uk/

What made me write this to let me finally decide to type out my thoughts was watching Louise video (sprinkleofglitter on YouTube) In one part of her ('the big chat') video she said that when she writes her blog it's like therapy for her which I can see why and agree with her in a way. So I thought I would just let out what I have spoken about to my family and few of my friends. I do agree with Louise as I know it hasn't been long since i have created this blog  really but writing this blog post especially makes me feel better now that I let the last bit of it all out. I did this in one of my previous blogs called 'leaving college' which I again found it such of relief to let out what I thought.

Thanks you if you did read all this! Feel free to comment about if you have suffered with this dilemma or if you have any advice for me and other that may read this.

Christmas is coming!!!

It is the 5th of November as I write this,which is the night of bonfire night, with the celebration of fireworks!! I'm sat here enjoying a nice warm fire in a lovely a toasty house thinking about how close Christmas is to coming! which I am very excited for!! I'm not sure what I want for Christmas yet but I do know that i cant wait for the nights where I'm watching TV with a nice boiling hot cup of tea beside me, as I'm cosy on the sofa in my pj's with the beaming Christmas lights shinning in the corner of my eye, the smell of burning candles and just seeing the Christmas decorations up around the house and knowing that I can enjoy the Christmas atmosphere all month. 
I can't wait to start Christmas shopping, as I love buying presents for my family and friends and seeing the faces when they open my little surprise of a present! especially when the destroy my beautiful wrapping, which is also exciting to see! 

What I love about Christmas!

1. The snow ( before peoples footprints are stamped in the freshly laid snow)
2. The wrapping up in scarf's and coats
3.The steaming hot drinks
4. candles
5. Christmas light twinkling in the streets
6. wearing warm cosy pjs
7. wearing woolly jumpers
8. watching the grinch at Christmas time
9. spending time with your family 
10. coming home from a cold winters day out, with the heat fogging up your glasses and stinging your face and hands.

Autumn Wish List!

Today I thought I would start my autumn wish list, As it has just turned autumn I felt inspired to do a Autumn wish list full of stuff that I wish I could have. The list will include outfits,home wear and certain candles to get the autumn feel in your house.

All these outfits I will show you will come from my polyvore account:
http://shula-1995.polyvore.com/

Autumn Wish List:
outfits:

This outfit is a perfect outfit for a switch from summer to autumn, this outfit i find is simple to wear in chilly weather as you can add a coat or jacket, and in the sun. I would wear this outfit as I think this outfit is trendy but neat!
This outfit is another perfect outfit that is simple but perfect for the weather as it is still covered up for the chilly wind. I would really love to wear this as I think this outfit is simple but trendy!
This outfit is a casual going out (night) outfit! I personally think this outfit is perfect for autumn as you can simple add a coat/jacket if its too cold to wear just the jumper but I would wear this outfit as I think it is simple but cute!


Home Wear:
This image is not mine

This decoration I think is perfect to be sitting  in your bedroom, I find this heart a super simple but really effective object as it gives a warm glow from the lights, which I can imagine hanging on the wall surrounded by lit candles on your dresser.

Here's the link to the website where you will find this decoration:http://www.matalan.co.uk/product/suite?id=28393381-6d3a-402b-83da-0f338b2b3308&page=home-trend-landing

This image is not mine

These fairy lights i find them so pretty, I think this would look amazing in your bedroom to give the room a fairy tale look.


This image is not mine

I think this lantern would give the house a nice warm autumn look with a candle in it, where ever you may put your chosen lantern, I find them perfect to give a house a more warm, cosy look to it.



I hope this inspires you to get more autumn in your homes or clothes!

Trip To Lydnhurst!

Today myself, my sister and my mum took a trip down to lydnhurst, I took some photos of my time there. I hope you enjoy.

I started the morning off with a nice cup of tea (that I forgot to take a picture of) along with my lovely cooked pancake,alongside having a lovely chit-chat with my Australian friend, with my favourite book on the side to read.(I didn't read this morning he-he)

 Once we got dressed, we headed off.

This is my outfit for today! I wore my kitten crop top with my black jeans which matched my black shoes, along with my matching bag and cardigan.( all items and clothing are from primark)

This is me under some trees, after my sister parked up in the forest.
 (path way that leads to the main street of lydnhurst)
 (view from entrance of the car park in the forest)
 (view from a up hill path which leads to more car parking space)
 (view of the massive cross statue)

Once we walked to the main street of lydnhurst, we headed to Costa to enjoy some delicious lunch!

After we munched on our lunch, we headed up to the craft store ( I didn't take any pictures of-sorry) we hang out and talked to the boss (who my sister works for), mum and Karen bought some craft stuff like ribbons and craft books to look through. After we caught up with the manager we left the shop, and headed back to the forest to go back home. once we got back to the forest, we bumped into a horse that was standing by the gate just chilling!

 (how we saw the horse from behind the gate)

We went back in the car and went up to my sisters friends grave who passed away 10 years ago today! I didn't take pictures because I was mainly getting attacked by fly s but of course it is a personal thing for my sister. 

R.I.P Ben 
( I know I didn't know you or met you but rest in peace)

After leaving the grave, we all headed home. That was my day, hope you enjoyed seeing what my day was like.

My Everyday Make-Up Routine - Products

Today I  filmed a video showing my everyday make-up routine. Here is a more detail depth information about why I use these products and why I like them, etc, all the products I will talk about are shown in my new YouTube video. ( I will leave the link to my new video at the end of the this post). 

The first product is the 'All-In-One InstaBlur, 5-action perfector- face premier'. I recently bought this product from the body shop, I use this product because it makes your make-up flawless and also the premier helps with oily skin, I like this product because I personally believe it has helped  a lot with my oily skin as its prevented the illy skin and also it has helped my make-up look more fresh and flawless.

Here is the link to 'The Body Shop' website, to buy the product: http://www.thebodyshop.com/make-up/all-in-one/instablur.aspx

The second product is the 'Rimmel MATCH perfection' I have tried many foundations in my time and I have to say that this Rimmel foundation is the best one that I have used so far,as I have sensitive skin this product has not irritated my skin at all  I find that this foundation blends quite nicely into your natural skin tone. I use this product because I find it gives my skin a fresh glow about it. This product is in the colour 'Ivory' , you can buy this product in super-drug or boots.

This 'collection' last long perfection concealer is a concealer if you like heavy applied cover ups. I like /use this product because this concealer is very good at covering up all blemishes and this concealer is the only concealer that lasts all day!! You can find this concealer in super drug or boots, i use the shade 01 which is the shade fair.

The powder I use is the 'Rimmel clear complexion face powder' Once again i have tried many face powder in my time and I find the rimmel face powder so much more lighter and no too over powering. With other face powders I have used in the past i found that they made my face more orange or just too caked with make-up. I find this product blends into your natural skin tone so smoothly and gives my face a lovely flawless finish to it. I bought this product in the shade' transparent', you can buy this face powder in super drug or in  boots.


The 'Bourjois' browser is a very popular browser with some celebrities. I use this product because I love the packaging but also the product is a very light product which you can handle very easily.I use the shade 5, which I think is the one of lightest but this browser gives you an natural glow to your face without the over powering shadow of brown. the product blends very nicely and makes your make-up have a natural photograph finish. Once again this product you can buying either super drug or boots.


This 'Accessories' blusher is a very old blusher so I doubt you can get it now, but I love this blusher gives you a nice hit of shimmer in your cheeks along with the light hitting pink blush. I use this product because i love the colour and I love the finish look it gives to your face, the only problem is that I find that it doesn't pick up on photos or videos much but as it is a light  pink colour it still shows very slightly. in real life, the colour is sitting perfectly on your cheeks.


This 'Maybelline' liquid eye liner is very bold and dramatic for your eyes. I like this eye liner because I really the thickness of the eye liner as it applies quickly and gives a bold look for your eyes. As the wand on the eye liner is quite thin, it is very good for any winged look you want to create.I bought this eye liner in super drug in the colour/shade black.

This 'NYC' pencil eye liner is very bold for your under eye. I like this pencil eye liner because it gives a bold look but it also very subtle which make your eye stand out with the liquid liner as well. I bought this eye liner in super drug in the colour/shade black.


This 'Rimmel' mascara is the newest one out in the shops. I like this mascara so much more than the other mascara I have used because this one separates your eye lashes which open your eyes and this mascara also volumize your eye lashes as well. which also makes your eyes pop.

I like this 'Rimmel' eyebrow gel because it helps with making your eyebrow colour set perfectly. I like this product as it is last longing and as it is a small size , it is a product which you can take on your travels etc.. I bought this eyebrow gel in super drug.



This 'Revol colorBurst' lacquer balm in the colour 'demure'. I like this balm because it is a colour that suits my everyday make-up routine but mostly it is a balm is very smooth on the lips, I also like that the smell of the lip balm has a smell of mint.. I bought this lip balm in super drug.



Finally this is 'Tanya Burr Lip gloss' in the colour 'aura', I love this lip gloss because the colour looks beautiful on your lips and really makes your make-up look complete, the texture of the lip gloss is not too sticky either.. I bought this Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in super drug.


Here's the link to my new YouTube video, which is where you can see the products in action and how the look on me. if you do enjoy the video.
