Whats In My Go To Bag // Summer 2017

Summer (well as I am writing this, it looks more like winter) is finally here which means I will be going out on lots of day trips. 

Today I am going to be showing you whats in my go to bag for the summer holidays. 

This is my bag, it is a black and white mesh print backpack which was £13 from the New Look sale! Which I think is a bargain. It is the perfect size for a day bag, which I have been looking for, for ages now. 

It has a pocket at the front and then a main part which has a zip pocket inside. 

Now lets have a look inside...

In the front pocket, is where I keep my less valuable things. I have; 

- Soap and Glory Hand Food 

-Carex Bubble Gum Hand Sanitizer

-Paracetamols 

-Tissues

-Rescue Remedies 

These are all of my daily essentials which are easy to get it and are always with me

 Now in the main pocket: 

- My phone which is the Samsung Galaxy S7

-Charlie Spray 

-Radley Purse, which currently has no money in

-M&S Rhubarb and Custard Sweets

-My sunglasses

-Radley Cosmetic pouch which has all of my hearing aids things such as batteries, case, tubing

-Maoam sweets, my favourite!

-Deodorant

-A bottle of  water 

Hope you have enjoyed todays posts 

Let me know what you keep in you go to bag

-I have linked everything as closely as I can, some of the things you can't get anymore!

Trip To Paris

Hi everyone, I have missed writing blog posts, so today I am going to share with you all my trip away to Paris.

Some of you know that I play the flute in my schools band, which I love doing so much. I was lucky enough to go to Paris for our schools Music Tour, which contains amazing people who are part of band and choir. 

Monday 17th July 2017: 

We left just after 6:30am, after we packed the coach with all the instrument, suitcases, music technology and of course all of us! We traveled to Dover, to catch the ferry over to Calais. It was great to get of the coach for an hour or so, to stretch our legs and have a walk around. Once we arrived in Calais, we traveled to where we will be staying till Friday. We stayed in a student accommodation. When we arrived we took all of our bags to our rooms and then we had tea, which wasn't the best! 

Tuesday 18th July 2017:

Tuesday morning, we didn't have our hopes up that breakfast was going to be any good! To be honest it was alright but not the best. At around 9, we set of for our first day in Paris. Our first stop was the Montparnasse Tower: 

Our next stop was to our first performance of the trip. We played  on a band stand in the middle of a park, somewhere in Paris. It was so nice, lots of people stopped of and listened to us!

 Our Final stop was to the river Seine for a boat trip. It was 35 degrees at this point, sunny pariee did not disappoint us!

Wednesday 19th July 2017:
Sunny pariee has now turned into windy pariee! Of we go to Notre Dame, to preform. I have to say, this performance was probably the funniest performance in a long time.

A random photo!

After we preformed, we then got back onto the coach to go to aquaboulevard, which is a big swimming park, with so many slides and water sports. It was great fun!
Then here comes the traffic, travelling back to the hotel took longer than expected, Paris traffic is a nightmare!
After tea, we played out in the fields or around the hotel, playing football, pinball, a group of us done henna tattoos!





Thursday 20th July 2017:

The day everyone has been waiting for DISNEY! I'm not a huge fan of rides, but I had an amazing time. It was so fun walking around Disney, shopping (I brought an Olaf bowl, a magnet and some sweets), watching the parade. It so incredible, how much effort goes into Disney!

 

We left Disney around 6:30, to go to the Dream Castle Hotel, for our very last performance altogether before people leave in September to go to university or college.
Performing in such a massive open space, gave us the challenge of trying to stay together when playing as we couldn't here ourselves or each other. But from the video people recorded, it sounded amazing!

Friday 21st July 2017:
Home time! We left our hotel at 9:30am, and got the Euro Tunnel back to England at 4:20pm. I have never been on the euro tunnel, and it was so different to what I thought it was! All the way home we sang songs and had a laugh. We arrived back home at 8:20pm. It was sad, as it was all over and I wish it went on longer as I had so much fun and never laughed or smiled as much as I did in a week before!

I will never forget this amazing time!

Hope you enjoyed reading this 

I will be doing lots more blogpost from now on.

Long Time No Speak

Hi, hello, hows you? Everyone all doing fine?
I don't really know where to start of with this post, it feels completely strange typing!
As you can all tell I haven't writern many blog post this year, which I can blame on myself. These past couples of weeks I have really missed blogging and it's been on my mind quite a bit lately on how much I have missed it.
About 70% of why I haven't blogged this year is due to because I wasn't motivated and just felt like I was rushing all of my posts and doing the same things over and over again. The other 30% is a few other factors, school as you all know I am in my GCSE years, I do take school seriously and I do put the hours in as I want to do well and that's ok, as that's what I want. Other part is my health, I am not going to go into too much detail as I will be doing blog post on some big things that have happened this year. It's nothing bad or anything, so please don't worry!

I am going to try and upload once a week to a fortnight, as I do miss it, and I love doing it, I just need to make time and stop priotising things that are not important. There will be a few changes to what I upload as I would like it to be more relatable and more giving advice to people as that a kind of person who I am.

Thank you all for still being here

Homeware Haul

Doing a little haul today. 

Over the past few months I have brought a couple of things for my bedroom.

 I have also recently moved house which therefore means I can redecorate my room and make it more me! Its currently a cream colour which I don't really mind but its quite old fashioned and I would love to make it more modern. I think I am going to have a white, blue and grey themed room as I am loving these 3 colours together at the minute. 

I went to Ikea, and brought lots but most of it is furniture, so its very hard to take photos of it. (Maybe soon I may do a room tour, let me know if you would like me to do one).  However another thing I brought, is this cactus. These come in sets of 3 and my brother has the other 2. I think plants in your room in general look really nice, if you keep on watering them and not letting the die. 

I really like this cactus as its very different and I love that it looks like it has cob webs on it. 

As well as the cactus from Ikea, I picked up 2 Skurar pots for my makeup brushes. Even though these are plant pots, I think they are great size for makeup brushes or even a pen holder. I love the design of the Skurar range so much!

Lastly from Ikea, I picked up a vanity unit mirror, to go on my new vanity. This only cost £3.50! I think that is extremely good as these types of mirrors tend to be £10/£12. Okay I know the quality of it is not that good, but it does the job for me.

From Next I picked up this photo frame for £6. Its a light blue distress type look and I quite like the distress look on decor at the minute. I popped a postcard in it, as I need to print some of the photos out from New York and Ibiza from last year. 

From B&M, I brought the wicker hearts on a string.  This only cost £1.99 and I love it. It currently hangs of my wardrobe door nob, but soon it will be on my wall.  

From Homesense I brought this photo frame. Its a blue and silver metal frame and I literally fell in love with it when I saw it, I think this will go perfectly on a bedside table once my room is done! As you can see there's a dog in the frame and that's Molly from when she was younger.

I also picked up this candle called Silent Night from the national park I went to last year. Yes I know its a Christmas Candle but it doesn't smell that christmassy, its more of a fresh sense. 

Last thing are these wicker heart lights, from Asda costing £12. These are perfect to be hanged on top of my bed and when they are turned on they make my room look so cosy! As they are not just plain fairy lights they look good just as decoration and no need to turn them on when its the Summer.

I hope you enjoyed my little haul. Most of the things I brought are linked.

A Little Walk..

I hope you enjoyed these photos. I know its not very christmassy, but not everyone enjoy christmas or even celebrate it.

My New Year Resolutions

2016 is coming to an end, which I am quite happy about as I love starting a new year even if that means I am getting a year older and time is going so fast! But then that also means more memories! 

This year I have done some amazing experiences which I would never in a million years would of thought I would have the opportunity to do. And this year has had a lot of downs but that's because I have let it happen to me. Therefore next year I am going to make it an amazing year!

Today I am going to share with you some of  my New Year Resolutions! 

Just to point out, I am not very good at sticking to things. 

>Be Much More Positive

If you know me, then you would know that I am such a negative thinker and everything I do, I would have a negative thought about it. 

>Be More Happy 

Being a negative thinker, does generally get you down, so trying to be positive will hopefully make me more happy. 

>Make tones of memories with family

This year I have spent most weekends with my family and I loved it! Making memories are great and then you can tell your children what you done when you were their age. 

>REVISE

I know revision isn't the funniest thing to do, but you only do your GCSE once, so you might as well put all your effort into it. 

>Get fitter

This may sound like a lie to do as I am a teenager but I generally think I do eat quite healthy compare to a lot of people who I know! But I would like to get fitter and I love walking my 2 dogs as well as cycle rides. Also did you know walking is meant to be the best exercise for you!?

>Live in the moment

I really do want to live in the moment not in the past or future. I am someone who tends to regret everything they do, just because I never really think things over I just do it, which is good in some ways but a few days later I will look back and be like why did I do that? 

That is just some things that I would like to do in 2017!

I also would like to blog more as I actually love it so much.

I hope your 2017 brings you so many happy memories

Festive Lips

Hello everyone! 

Its Christmas Eve!

Today I am sharing with you the 2 lip products that I have been wearing over the festive season.

I find lots of lip sticks never stay on my lips for a long time, so I tend to just start the day of by wearing a nude colour, so when it does rub off its not that obvious that I was wearing a lipstick. Also I think I am rubbish at applying lipstick, as I always and I mean always get it all around my lips. That could be because my hands tend to shake when I hold things! Don't ask why my hands shake when I hold things as I don't know either. 

Knowing me, I have probably already mentioned this products before as I don't own many Christmassy lipsticks, which is a shame bare in mind I love darker shades.

My top favourite is Fond Farewell from Seventeen. This was a gift from my brother last Christmas, and I love it so much! As I am unlucky to have extremely pale skin, this colour doesn't wash me out too much. 

The Seventeen Stay Pout collection retail as £4.49, which if I am honest I think its a bit too pricey as it doesn't stay on your lips very long and especially I think its a great colour for the festive season, people drink quite a lot through December so its rubs off easily.

The last festive lip colour is Cherry Pop from Clinique. Its a lovely red and suits most people, which is very good! What I love about this product is that its not sticky after you have applied it to your lips its stays very matte. 

For £16 I think this is quite a good price and that Clinique is high end, £16 is good for a highend lipstick. 

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Love Amy xx

Christmas Wishlist 2016

Its nearly Christmas day! This year has gone so fast! 

Today I am going to write about what I have asked for, for Christmas. In no means am I expecting any of this. It was just to give family and friends and idea of what I would like or what I enjoy. 

*Infinite Pandora Ring 

I have had my eye on this ring since the Pandora store in my town has open. I love the infinity symbol anyway, and I think this will go really nice with my other 2 I already have.

*White Enamel Twist Pandora Ring

I also really like this ring, its so simply and will go with anything.

*Sleek Makeup Gift Box

I have never owned anything from Sleek, and I have heared so much about Sleek and lots have recommended it. This gift box is from boots and currently reduced to £25! It has 10 products inside, and I think that is amazing for £25.

*A Curler 

I have never owned a curler, and I just think I will enjoy curling my hair every now and again as I find plaiting my hair and straightening it very therapeutic! 

*Clothes 

Any clothes would do to be honest, I don't actually have that many clothes that fit properly most of it is too big for me. 

*A Watch 

Again I don't mind what watch it is, maybe a silver watch would be nice.

*A Compact Tangle Teezer 

I got one last year for Christmas which I use for school, but the one I have at home is so old and disgusting but its not a compact one so its get wrecked very easily.

*Nail Vanishes 

I have really enjoyed painting my nails recently and that fact I managed to go all last week with nail vanish on at school really shocked me! As a few teachers don't like nail vanish and I even represented my school in its Christmas Concerts and Assemblies with band, where there was all Senior Leadership team and no one said anything!

*A New School Bag

Right ok, I did buy one in the summer but its actually too small, so my mum has taken it for work, so I am currently using my old one from last year but its starting to fall apart! 

*Lush!

Well actually I have asked for a lush voucher as on boxing day, Lush always have a sale and I can get everything half price. 

This is all really I am asking for. I will be very grateful for no matter what I get for Christmas. 

Merry Christmas

Its ok to...

Its ok to...

cry in front of people. 

fail.

be a sensitive person.

not be friends with people who have proven you wrong.

have a change.

tell people what you are thinking.

tell the truth.

eat that chocolate bar.

make mistakes. 

be different. 

have goals/dreams in live. 

have a chat. 

1) Its ok to cry in front of people

Whether that's your parents, friends, a teacher, anyone. And yes its perfectly fine to cry multiply times in a week/month in front of that same person. But please do not think you are wasting their time! So many people don't let things out because they are scared that they are wasting the other persons time. No you are not! 10 minutes of their day, is all it takes to let things out and you will feel so much better afterwards. They may not look like they care, However you are not being silly or anything. Its no ones fault that whatever going on in your head is there. We can not control what our brains think. 

2) Its ok to F.A.I.L

Fail means First Attempt In Learning. You could fail multiple times but you are learning and life is all about learning. So don't beat yourself up because of it.

3) Its ok to be a sensitive person

We are all different here, and we all take things differently. I am, myself, a sensitive person and things do hit me. But do not think that you are silly or pathetic just because you are the only one who have gotten upset because of it. 

4) Its ok to not be friends with people who have proven you wrong

Its true that friends don't stay. We all grow every day into another person as we are learning who we really are in life. Things change to make people change. People turn out to be different and its fine to say goodbye to someone. 

5) Its ok to have a change

Maybe that's in your fashion style, or haircut. Its perfectly fine to change. Its fine to change jobs, schools. If something making you down change it and don't worry about what other people think that's their problem.

6) Its ok to tell people what you are thinking

This links to number 1. If you want to tell someone how you feel about them, then tell them. Tell everyone!

7) Its ok to tell the truth

Tell people what have just happened, tell them everything. If something happens the next day about the same thing go and tell them. This could be told to anyone!

8) Its ok to eat that chocolate bar

Just eat it! Don't worry about the calories or if you have already eaten a chocolate bar today. We are not here to hate our body or hate what choices we have just made. We are here to enjoy life to the fullest! 

9) Its ok to make mistakes

We all make mistakes, whether thats solving a problem or doing something that has affected you in a way that you didn't think it would. Don't regret doing it, if someone has told you something about it that has made you cringe. Oh well, its fine. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, its life. We are learning everyday.

10) Its ok to be different

Don't think you have to be the same as everyone else, as you don't. Its amazing to stand out from the crowd, I promise. People may judge at first but don't let that put you down.

11) Its ok to have goals/dreams in life

You are never too young to know what you would like to achieve in life. I already know what I would like to be when I grow up and theres nothing wrong with that.

'Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with bug dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts'.

12) Its ok to have a chat

Chat about anything and everything, We live in a world where technology takes over us. Its fine to have a chat in person with someone, go to Starbucks, sit there for hours on end having a right old giggle, laugh. Its also ok to have a chat with someone over phone too.

I feel that these are some things that people struggle to come to terms with, I can relate to so many of these, as I feel like its not ok  to do something, as I don't know anyone else who has done what I have just did and I tend to put myself down and it plays over and over again in my head and I will cringe about it and regret doing it. But whats in the past, is in the past. And NO ONE should judge you from your past.

Pandora Will Always Be My Favourite

Heyia! 

I am posting today because I feel bad that I haven't uploaded over the past couple of weeks. 

Pandora will always be my favourite! I am lucky enough to own 2 rings that Pandora sell and I love them both to pieces. 

Heart Stacking  £35

I got given this for Christmas a few years back from my parents and its my favourite one out of the 2 that I own. Its so simply. I love that its hearts all joint together to make a ring. 

This ring is £35 which I think is a really good price for it. £35 is quite cheap for Pandora but then I think its a reasonably price. 

My hand is so ugly, ahah

Aprils Birthstone £40 

My birthday is in April, so it makes sense that I got the diamond birthstone ring. I think us April babies are so lucky to have diamond as our birthstone, as a lot of rings have a diamond stone and it means something a bit more special to us. 

If I am honest I don't think this on is really worth £40, only because underneath the diamond, it does tend to get quite dirty, but otherwise its a really nice ring. 

I am thinking about getting a Pandora charm bracelet but I don't know if its worth it. So if you own one please let me know if they are worth the money. 

Hope everyone having a nice day

1 Year Of Amy Rose

Hi everyone! 

Sorry that I haven't posted anything over the past couple of weeks. To make up for that I will posting a few next week, as I am on half term.

Today post is to celebrate Amy Rose 1st birthday! I created this blog on the 19th October 2015, and uploaded my first post on the 21st. 

I created this blog just for somewhere to write everything and anything on and we have grown so much. We are nearly on 70 followers on Bloglovin, 28 followers on Blogger, that's nearly 100 people. I know that's not a lot compared to a lot of other blogs, but I never thought I will be able to get 50 followers let alone nearly 100. 

As well we are on 8.3K+ views and I personally think that's insane. I have people from America and Australia reading my blog! 

Thank you all so much for all of your support and I read everyone comments on my posts and everyone is so lovely. 

I will be back from now on writing blog posts every week, hopefully! Next week there will be a few going up. So make sure you are following me.

An Autumn Eye Palette

How fast is this year going? Its already autumn, it felt like yesterday that it was easter! 

Today post is all about an eye shadow palette which I brought in the airport before I jetted off to Ibiza in the summer holidays. 

I'm not really an eye shadow girl, I prefer buying foundation and blusher, but when I saw the Bare Minerals counter something clicked and was like 'Amy get your bum over there and just have a look, but don't buy anything'. Yeah well that didn't go to plan. 

I saw this beautiful eye shadow palatte with 8 different shades from matte to shimmer, and as I have never own anything from Bare Minerals, I went straight to my mum and asked if I can have it and she said yes! YIPPIEE

 Top row, left to right - Hot Commodity, Nude Beach, Bare Skin and Pure

Bottom row, left to right - In The Buff, Natural, Perspective and Celebrate

The palette is called The Sexy Neutrals and I believe its air port exclusive, but if you can get your hands on then 100% get it! The eye shadow lasts around 8 hours which I think is a reasonable time. I paid £29, which is a bit too much as the eye shadow their selves an't that big but they are so pigment and bold! These eye shadow colours go so well with brown or hazel eyes, which is a plus sided for me as I have hazel/green eyes. 

My favourite shades are In the Buff and Celebrate. 

In the Buff is a bronzey pinky shade with lots of shimmer but not too much so it ruins the everyday look. I wear this shade to school and my school can be quite strict on makeup but no one has said anything about it, which means that I think its an okay school colour. 

Celebrate is a very neutral on the lid base colour or just a bit of pop to the lid when you don't want to wear a lot of makeup. 

So far, I am loving this palette and I think its going to be so useful and its going to be my go to eye shadow palette this Autumn!

Whats your favourite eye shadow?
