Had My Appendix Out, Fun Times!

Hey guys/girls, firstly I'd like to apologise for my lack of posts, I've been crazy busy with work and classes for the past couple of months so I haven't really had energy to do any blogging which is a shame but, I like sleep so yeh...I shall be making some lifestyle changes so hopefully by the grace of God I will have more time and energy to spare on things which make me happy such as eating...and of course blogging :-) 

Secondly...I had my appendix taken out yaaaayy!!! No not yay because that means I can't go to the gym for a month....but yaayy because I am alive and well, thank God! It all started a couple of days ago, I think, I had really bad pains all over my stomach, it felt like burning, or as if something toxic had leaked inside and was flowing around my system (I used that explanation with the nurse, she seemed slightly confused but got it)......but yeh, it hurt A LOT....and being the person I am, I fobbed it off as too much stomach acid or something like that...then the next day I had a HORRID migraine and my stomach hurt so bad but I just assumed I was tired and had a nap..woke up on day 3 (barely slept anyway because of the stomach pains keeping me awake), the migraine was gone but the pains were still there...I'm used to having some sort of acid related stomach ache, hence me ignoring it for so long..but I planned on seeing my GP the next day so was relatively calm about it. Spent most of the day in bed, and then went for dinner with my work friends, still in pain but trying not to be a Buzz-Killington...on the way home I couldn't  take it, the pain was too much to even walk so I called my brother and asked him if it would be too dramatic to call an ambulance...he said no, so I did.... and a couple of hours later, I was told I'd need to be operated on. To cut an already long story short, they operated on me the next day and now I'm in bed watching crappy movies.

Sorry, kinda waffled there as per usual...but the main reason I'm posting this is just to say that you shouldn't take your health for granted. If you feel something isn't quite right with yourself health-wise then consult your doctor or get it checked. It's much better to be safe than sorry. 

On that note..I'm going to do something useful and by that I mean watch more films

An Open Letter To My Future Self

Hey ya'll,
               do you still say that? Well I don't see why not, it's only 3 months since you wrote this. Firstly, looking good!! I see all that gymming and eating healthily is really paying off, see, who told you you couldn't do it??? Me? Oh, shame, my bad, well look, getting on a treadmill after an 8 hour shift isn't that exciting so you can't blame me can you? Well you didn't listen to me anyway so whatever... I see you've finally fixed up your hair as well, PRAISE JESUS!! Don't know how you thought it was acceptable to roam the streets looking like you slept in the mouth of a lion..with a cold.

Right now I'm sitting here eating too much chocolate and watching stuff on YouTube, I'm assuming you're doing something more useful like blogging, or learning something new, because that's what you wanted to do. I just thought I'd write you a little letter to say well done for getting through this all in one piece, I'm so proud of you for putting in the effort, and I can see your life is heading where you want it to be, and thank God for getting you through it. How's the guitar going? Have you bought one yet? If not, don't worry, there's still plenty of time....and the acting? Good to see you growing, soon you'll be on the big screen :-)

Anyways, I'm about to go to bed because I have to be up at 6, remember to keep on looking after your family and your loved ones, and don't waste your time comparing yourself to others. Also say hi to all your lovely followers, I see you've gained a couple more, yaayy..

Try and keep up with these 3 things: 
1. Bless someone every day, doesn't matter if it's a big gesture or a tiny one, just do it because you don't know what people are going through
2. If you're not actually hungry, and you don't want it then don't eat it...it's a really unhealthy and wasteful habit so stop doing it.
3. Stay positive and keep singing praises no matter what you may be going through, you will never be put through what you cannot handle 


Bye bub

Review: Best Beauty Buy Of 2013!!!

No, I'm not lying...this is the BEST beauty buy I have bought all year both in value and ahhmazingness 

Before I start, you need to know two things about me
1. I am INCREDIBLY cheap
2. I like variety (this will make more sense as you read on)

Let's get the ball rolling..so, I have been searching far and wide for a nice new lip colour, preferable a lip pencil...I saw a bunch of different ones, Rimmel had a few nice ones but I didn't feel their shades suited me...Sleek had a bunch of nice shades but I didn't want to pay £4.99 for one lip pencil (refer back to point #1)..and the Natural Collection lip pencils were only £2 each, but I didn't like their shades or the texture much

So. 

What did I do? Where did I turn to? 


EBAY!!!!! Yeeeeehhhh Buddy!!! 

Just have a gander at this fabulousness... 


Here are all 12 swatches (please ignore my unattractive dry looking hand)


These are my top 6 shades (in no particular order)...please excuse the shoddy lighting, it wasn't very bright outside so had to use unnatural lighting. Also, the shades don't have a name, they're just numbered so I'll make up my own

1. Nude
 























2. Barbie Pink
 



















3. Deep Plum





















4. Burnt Orange
 


















   5. Oxblood
 


















           and lastly 

6. Ruby Woo "dupe" 






















Like every product, there will always be pros and cons so it's only fair to list them both:

Pros: * The colours are stunning, and has a wide variety of shades
          * Love the matte finish
          * Long lasting 
          * Ridiculously good value for money 

Cons: * My favourite shades are bound to run out soon so I'll have to buy another set (but that's not really a con now is it?) 
            * The slightly dry texture means you have to apply lip balm before putting it on 
            * Certain shades need to be built up


So after all this, guess how much it cost....go on....

Ok, I'll give you three options...now be realistic here there are 12 of these epic lip pencils 

A) £15.99
B) £2.59
C) £8.94

The answer is....B!!!! I know right, frickin epic!!! 


Check it out, they've got even cheaper options:

Let me know what you think <3

P.S: My pleasure :-)

Outfit Of The Day: All Work And No Play

Hello hello hello....I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible because I am all kinds of tired and when I reach a certain level of fatigue, the filter between my brain and mouth/hands (in the context of typing/texting etc...not inappropriateness) diminishes... I've probably mentioned this many a time but just thought I'd let you know in case you are a new visitor :-) 

So, today I went to work. This is what I wore. Minus the coat (that is on my wishlist). Really should have taken a photo without it but what can you do?? 




Coat: Miss Selfridge
Striped Top: H&M 
Shorts: Miss Selfridge
Tights: Either New Look or House of Holland 
Shoes: Office 

Also ever so quickly....I want these shoes...I want these shoes so bad




And this hat...It makes me feel über snazzy in this weather :-)

Appreciation Post: Wake Me Up

This beautiful song is by Avicii ft Aloe Blacc, I loved the original and I came across this cover by Zack Knight which just brought a whole new meaning for me...Love it <3



Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)
