A subconscious part of my mind is trying to embarrass me

Ok ill admit it, I'm a compulsive liar. I don't mean as in i make up stories to get attention I'm talking about a subconscious part of my mind that makes me say things that aren't true without me realising. For example the other day i was having a conversation with a friend and it went a little something like this

Friend: Did you watch  ________ last night

Me: yeah

My mind: Why did i just say yes, i didn't watch that programme! I was supposed to say no now I'm going to look stupid admitting that i was supposed to say no. Quick say you didn't watch it!

Friend: It was good wasn't it

Me: I know literally thought it was so funny

Mind: SHIT WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT! I DIDN'T WATCH IT. Well it's too late to turn back now I'm just going to have to go with it.

Friend: so what did you think of the ending?

Mind: WHAT DO I SAY!! Ok calm, don't look panicked she can smell fear just say something quick!

Me: I ermmm just though it was a massive surprise, like i didn't see it coming

Friend: wait what? you didn't see it coming? I thought it was really obvious.

Mind: well you've done it now. She's going to think your an idiot, turn it around TURN IT AROUND. GO GO GO

Me: yeah well, I'm easily confused and it takes me longer than the average human being to understand plots

Friend: oh ok you should probably watch it again then

Me: yeah i think i will

Mind: phew. Now that was close.

Surround yourself with happiness ✨

By the title of this post you can tell what I'm about to talk about. For a while now I have stuck by the Moto surround yourself with happiness and have made a lot of changes in my life.

Firstly I've gradually changed who I hang around with. I noticed recently that the people I was seeing during my free time weren't making me happy and that although I had known them for years I wasn't the same girl I used to be. A lot has changed and I have grown up so now we just don't have the same things in common anymore. I decided that instead of making me happy like friends should do they were making me feel out of character so gradually I have distanced myself from them. In doing so I spend my time with friends that really get and understand me and overall I feel a lot happier. I would rather have few best friends that loads of fake friends. 

Next is diet. I am lucky in the fact that I can eat junk food and not put on loads of weight however I've found that even though I didn't put on weight I still wasn't healthy. I have now switch to a diet where I am eating a balance of foods and cutting out most carbs. This doesn't mean I don't eat bread or potatoes just that I don't eat as many. For breakfast I have either wheatabix or cooked eggs. A favourite of mine has been omelette with sliced tomatoes, I swear it's so good and makes you feel ready for the day. For lunch I have either a salad, yogurt or one slice of whole meal bread with healthy fillers. Dinner is a salad with some sort of meat and then I drink water, juice (my favourite atm is pineapple juice) or a smoothie. If I get hungry in between meals I will eat some fruit. For me I'm not trying to lose weight just be healthier. Id also like to say that yes some foods have natural fats but that doesn't mean they don't have other good things inside them for your body, so don't just instantly cut them out of your diet. 

Next is my free time. I am currently doing my a levels and am about to leave college altogether. I used to be the person that no matter how much work I have I would leave it to the last minute however I've really been trying to turn this around. I've been trying to use my free time wisely getting myself ready for when I leave college and making sure I do as well as possible in my exams. This has made me feel a lot happier about leaving education and makes the world seem less scarier. I know how daunting it is to know that your about to be an adult in the working world but I honestly can't stress enough that you can't pretend it's not going to happen. It will so make the most of your time now to prepare. 

Hope you like this quick post. Just feeling very happy atm and wanted to help spread some light on the world. 

Thanks for reading

London bound ✨

So today my dad and I decided to go to London for the day. I have decide that some time in the near future after my exams I want to move to London so for a while I've been going on day trips to get use to the underground and to learn my way around. Today we went to Camden market first. I've been a few times before but I swear everytime I go it gets even bigger! There's literally stalls for everything and there's such nice vintagey looking clothing that's cheap as anything, it's hard not to fall in love with the place. Like everything in London you have to be careful of pick pocketers and there's always a swarm of tourists but I've never had that much of a problem. 

Then we hopped on the tube and went to leister square where they have movie premiers. Not much was going on there but it was a 5 min walk to Trafalgar Square where there was music and festivities going on for Easter. It was rammed with tourists but it's the holidays so it's not a surprise. 

Lastly we went to covent garden which is a place I love because this is where loads if the expensive shops are. I love looking round and even though I didn't buy anything a girl can dream.

Oxford street haul! ✨

Whilst up in London last weekend I may have done some cheeky shopping. I love Oxford  street and even though it was rammed with tourists I couldn't resist having a look round. The only problem was because there is literally ever shop known to man on that street I had to stop myself from going crazy. I wish there was a day in the year when everything from every shop was like 5p so that you could buy your dream wardrobe. Moving on here's what I bought: 

First I bought this sports tee from primark just because I need more casual tops that I can tuck into jeans ext. I love these prints and for only £3 they were a bargain. 

I then got this collared sheer floral shirt again from primark. I also thought this would be great to tuck into jeans and skirts and thought the patterns and colours were really cute. This was only £10! 

From H&M I bought these croquet shorts that I thought were really cute and could be dressed up or down. These from memory were around the £10-15 mark but I can't remember because I got discount on them. 

I then went into forever 21 and bought these floral leggings. Now listen to this I have never been into a forever 21 before! This is because where I live the nearest one is Oxford street which is about an hour away from where I live which is incredibly annoying! So before going in I never really understood the hype but now I understand. I'm in love with these leggings and for only £8 I couldn't leave them behind. So if anyone from forever 21 is reading this please get a store I'm camberley I would be very great full! 

Next I bought this cropped high neck black top that has a floral croquet on it. Again it's from forever 21 and I think it was about £12. Also it came in White and mint green but I thought the black would be easier to wear. 

Last but not least from forever 21 I got this baseball dress. I thought this would be a great casual dress and it's super soft so I know it's going to be comfy. Again I think it was around the £12 mark. 

If you've never been to Oxford street in London and like me are shopping crazy you have to go otherwise your missing out! (Haha I sound like I'm sponsored by London or something)

Beauty things I suck at tag! ✨

Now no matter what any girl tells you she is not perfect at everything beauty wise. If your like me then there are a few things that I find so hard to do or just can't get the right technique. So here I am today to share what I suck at with you. 

1. Eyeliner 

Ok I'm not that bad and usually it goes how I planned but do you ever just get that one day where your eyeliner just won't go right! Either it's I can't get it to match the other eye or I smudge it but regularly I have to spend a couple of minutes with a makeup wipe having to sort out the mess. 

2. Curling my hair

Does anyone else get it where one side of your hair perfectly curls and then the other side is really limp. I swear I'm doing the same technique on both sides but it's like my hair hates me or something. 

3. Shaping my eyebrows

I don't know what it is but I find it so hard to get both eyebrows looking good, not looking too bushy but not too thin either. 

4. Fake tan

No matter what I do somewhere on my body it will go streaky. 

So there you go my 4 beauty things that I suck at. What do you suck at?

My new obsession

So I've been slightly MIA recently and I was going to apologise but then I realised what I have been obsessed over is amazing and I can't bring myself to apologise for it. So this brilliant discovery is Netflix. Yes I know I'm a bit late on the band wagon and I've been putting off getting it for ages until I just thought hey the first months free I may as well see what all the fuss is about. To be specific what I've spent all my free time doing is watching vampire diaries. Now I live in England and I'm pretty sure we don't get the series on our tv and I'm thinking why the hell not because it's amazing!

At first I wasn't sure I was going to like it because I just assumed it would be like twilight and seeing that it's about 4 series long I thought it would be too much loveydoveyness for me. As per usual I was completely wrong, the main story line does follow a love triangle however add in a lot of deaths and blood and it makes an addicting show. 

The only problem I know I'm going to have with Netflix it that there is so much to watch in so little time and with exams in a couple of months it's not a good combination. So if your like me an you have important things going on in a few months you might have to limit yourself to only watching one episode a day.
