Band Love

Hey guys,

My main passion is music and especially modern rock and have wanted to work within the music business for a while now especially with touring, live music events and PR because if feel having the correct image, brand but most importantly message from artists is the best way to communicate with their fans. Whenever I go to gigs each band I see I have all the emotions I have ever felt from their music rush through me and it feels amazing and it's a common bond I share with fellow fans and the band. So I am going to go through my favourite bands of all time. 

You Me At Six 

 It all started off in my nans house in 2010 before their Southampton Guildhall gig listening to Save It For The Bedroom and instantly was hooked. As they grew with their albums and music I grew up in life listening to their music and their songs relate to something in my life and means a lot. Being frank they are the main motive and inspiration to work within the music company as every gig I go to of theirs I always have the connection with every other fan of why we love them. From Cardiff to Plymouth, Southampton, Reading Festival, London and many more gigs I've been to I always feel like I can by myself. Their recent album Cavalier Youth is incredible it's very different to Sinners Never Sleep and their previous albums but artists need to change their music as life changes but their characteristics live on and is honestly insane there is no other word for it! So if there is any tiny possibility that they read this blog thank you for being amazing inspirations, I hope I get the opportunity to meet you, and PLEASE DJ at District in Bournemouth and if you ever do you'll thank me cause it's an awesome night and I'll show you the signature cocktail Donkey Kong! 

Deaf Havana

Although there was a sad departure from the group these boys are insane, started being a fan from 2011 and loved them from the start. First seeing them in Bath then Reading Festival their music adapted and their music got soooo good. My favourite has to be Fools and Worthless Liars with their alternative version is so diverse and amazing the use of acoustics shows off their skills and characteristics of the band. I recently met James and Max at District in Bournemouth, and they were genuine lovely guys made sure they had time to chat and had a really awesome conversation with them. They were up for a laugh and did an awesome DJ set as well. Although everyone needs to check out Friends Like These their early work but also their new work as well because the difference is amazing but still show how good they are. 

Don Broco

Adoration is the only word I have for these guys. I've seen them in Plymouth, London and Reading Festival and each time I swear they get better. I have developed a majorly be for these guys their recent album is so different yet contains the same type of sounds but just a edge of different style Superlove is my favourite of their new album but their older stuff I would recommend is Whole Truth, Priorities and you know what just listen to every song because they rock in every one! I recently met Matt at Distrixt again in Bournemouth and he was so friendly and made time for everyone even though it was so hectic due to the launch of the club night. Now all I need to do is meet Tom, Rob and Simon! 

These bands are my life and my motivation to work in the music business.

Missguided Must Haves

Hey guys,

It's my 20th next month and I feel like I should treat myself to some new purchases plus I'm lacking on some nice black tops lately. I really wanna start my 20's in style too! 

That's kinda crazy to say twenties cause I still feel like I shouldn't be growing up to fast! 

First of all it is bloody freezing and my turtle necks are coming out of the wardrobe. I already have one black turtle neck but I found a really cute one in a bodysuit format and I love my bodysuits. 

Secondly I just bought a cute bralet that I've wanted for ages. Well my nan bought it as a birthday present but I stupidly sent it here! (It was an accident I promise!). It will be great for summer but casual nights out I wanted a see through black top to go with it and Missguided provide the best one! 

Finally February is a busy social month! I have three birthday nights out including my own and I intend to buy something extra for those nights! And cue my favourite of them all yet again another bodysuit but with lush details around the neckline and the cut! 

This probably will bring my Missguided purchases count up to God knows how much but I can't help it! When I wanna treat myself Missguided always deliver! 

Have a good day

Favourite Bloggers

Hey guys,

I've been doing so much revision I sometimes loose concentration and question where I wanna be and the direction I wanna go to. But everyday I always look at Sarah Ashcroft's and Lydia Millen's blogs and instagrams they are my two favourite bloggers who inspire me to carry on and continue doing what I am doing as it will be worth it. 

Sarah Ashcroft

This blogger is for me the one whose helped me figure out my personal style and introducing me to looking after myself because at times I always work and never look after myself other than showering everyday I never took the time out to treat myself. With her make up blogs on her YouTube channel and her daily posts of her fashion advice she has inspired me to pursue my interest in fashion and design and make sure I have time for myself. Her travel pictures from Cyprus as well have me in awe as it makes me want to travel too! 

She teamed up with Lydia Millen about starting a blog as well as their favourite products and it inspired me to keep up with blogging. As it keeps me on track to pursuing my career. 

Lydia Millen 

Lydia Millen is one of my other favourite bloggers and the first one who I came across and I am so glad I did! She has so much to offer from fashion, to fitness, travel and wellbeing this girl has helped me in so many ways! 

Just like Sarah she is down to earth and has worked hard to get to where she is. Like Sarah her fashion style is distinct and amazing so it gives me ideas of stuff that I want to purchase obviously I work a lot so I only spend stuff on things that I want to treat myself to. In terms of travel she has been to so many places and it makes me want to work harder at uni and my job so when I have the opportunity I will go and visit countries I want to go to. 

Most importantly she has helped me with wellbeing from her Instagram posts and YouTube videos she introduced me to yoga and meditation as I get stressed and anxious quite a lot and Lydia is very open about wellbeing and from her advice I have started yoga and meditation and have never felt better! 

Go check these amazing ladies out!

Wish List January 2016

Hey guys!

Can't believe its been so long since my last post but basically I've been working hard on my assignments, my new job and revision for my exams! 

A nervous time but it's made me realise I love blogging and shouldn't stop! 

So whilst an Ebook is being downloaded for some reading I am starting this blog post! 

I've worked hard over the Christmas period and I want to treat myself! I've budgeted my money for savings but I need to treat myself! 

My birthday is next month and I have booked myself a booth at a local nightclub which I am really looking forward to do I can start my twenties in style! But after my rent is paid I have decided to treat myself to the following items! 

Obviously my love for shopping hasn't changed but unfortunately my favourite black ripped jeans has got a rip on it in a very funny yet awful placed (right under the bum) don't know how but clearly I wear them too much! So back to topshop to buy these beauties! 

Right after my last blog post my best friend Chloe came to visit and we went out! When we go out we always have the best times and have the best stories we just get each other so well! Somehow as I took an unfortunate tumble off of a sofa (again don't ask how I blame the prosecco!) my bronzer fell out and I miss it! So bronzer and topshop glow pot is another item I need! I recently bought a few highlighters and NARS translucent setting powder and it's the best makeup I have used so need a few things to compliment them! 

I NEED this dress! My birthday falls on a Wednesday and the nightclub I am going to it's a student event so dress code is casual but it's my 20th and this dress from Missguided is gorgeous as its my favourite colour black and I own no other colours I need this dress soon! 

How lush are these sunglasses from ASOS?! okay, I know it's winter but by March it will be sunny and I am a summer girl and I really want a nice selection of sunglasses and these are so lush! Think these will suit my edgy fashion style! 

Yes I know this isn't a product but I need the sassy personality of Pia Mia. I am seriously girl crushing right now! She has the most amazing tan and I always use fake tan so I need to purchase more, her eyebrows are insane and I need mine waxed and tinted again! She also looks so fit it's unreal so I really wanna continue with my fitness but also yoga and meditation to feel good about myself! 

Quite ironic my saying that as I am about to stuff my face with a dominoes but it's been a tough day! However I do have lots of healthy food in my fridge to indulge in tomorrow! 

So good to be blogging again! 

Thinking my next blog post will be about yoga and meditation and how it's helped me!

Wild, Wild, Wild...

Hey, 

So since I've been back at uni I have started to work out again since my holiday and being ill for 3 weeks! I've started the Kayla Itsines 12 Week Guide 1, the first session did me good! Forgot how hard these sessions were but so rewarding! Even after stretching and yoga I had DOMs all over! But I am feeling alot better and gaining more shape!

I do miss going to Fitspace but it's too far to travel however I have decided to join the gym at uni for unlimited access to classes so me and my lovely housemates can do workouts together and I plan to do endurance spin classes for LISS but also HIIT, Pump (a weights/barbell based class) and Yoga! 

Now, I have made a life changing decision... I've always chosen chocolate or vanilla protein and for me those flavours were always too sweet/sickly for me. But I bought The Protein Works - Protein Whey 80 Concentrate in Wild Raspberry flavour. It's amazing! Honestly it tastes exactly like a raspberry sorbet or like having raspberry sauce on top of vanilla ice cream and I cannot get enough! I seriously recommend trying all the different flavours as there are many! Also look at the different types of protein too! The Protein Works offers so many different products and at a great price too! 

I am currently writing this in bed resting after my full body 30 minute resistance circuit workout having my shake at this moment and I'm craving more! is that bad?

Havea good rest of the week!

Fake Bake Delight

Hey guys, 

As a fair skinned girl I find it very difficult to tan and I like being tanned! I love being pale because its who I am but I prefer being tanned as I feel healthier! But in the UK I don't tan even in a heat wave and if I do tan I burn. But abroad when I went to Turkey I had a great tan and it lasted a week! As I said in my last blog Cyprus made me look like a tomato! I've tried several Fake Tans which give me a glisten of sunkissed look but it wasn't enough for me I wanted an Instant Tan that lasted me a week at least without looking too orange or tanned as it would'nt look natural! 

So after trying 4 fake tans, I decided to try Fake Bake. I bought the Beyond Bronze, Instant Wash off Premium Tan for Face and Body - Matte Medium. I've always used mousse's before but I found that the matte applied alot better but also the colour seemed alot more darker too and I only needed to apply 1 layer as previously I needed to apply 2 or more to get the right level of tan. I got this product from Boots and it was around £9 if I remember correctly! I've had this tan on for 4/5 days now and the tan is still very much there! It's a great level of tan, easy to apply and dries really fast! 

As a student, I like to go out a few times a week so this product is great to keep on top of your tan and to maintain it and especially for me preserving my holiday tan! Also the smell of the tan is nice compared to others as it's not too over-powering. So ladies (or guys) make sure you check out their products cause there is a wide range of stuff they have! 

Fake Bake - you now have an avid fan and user of your products!

End of Summer Blow Out - New Chapter

Hi Guys! 

Welcome to my new blog and my first post. I decided to start a new blog because I found that I lost focus over the summer and decided to start afresh especially as I am starting my second year at university! This summer I worked 6 days a week and 30+ hours a week so that pretty much took up my whole summer and unfortunately I lost my best friend and had to do the unimaginable and put our loving pet dog down Rocky, he was only 8 years old but kept having to have operations due to tumours and it was the hardest thing I've had to go through and my family as well. However, although we are still feeling so guilty we are glad that he is no longer in pain and our whole world is lost without him. 

However, I went to Ayia Napa, Cyprus recently which has been booked for a while and although I felt guilty because it was so soon after Rocky it was great for me to get away and enjoy myself before I headed back to university. I went with my closest friend Chloe, we departed from Gatwick Airport which compared to other airports I've flown to its massive! We flew with Thomson and luckily flew on it's new plane the Dreamliner, which was amazing for many reasons! 1. They had TV's to watch movies, music, games and much more 2. Had rainbow lighting in the aisle 3. We were able to dim outr windows if we wanted to sleep. Flying into Larnaca was amazing because we flew right over the beach and the heat hit you straight away.

We arrived to our hotel, Petrosana Apartments, it was stunningly beautiful, clean, friendly staff and so close to everything central of Ayia Napa! Now our main timetable of our holiday was to wake up (whatever time that was usually 1pm) breakfast, go to the pool, beach or shopping then go out in the evening. Now the food was amazing and so cheap, it was mainly british food but we found an amazing Chinese restaurant by far the most amazing food we have ever tasted! We went to two beaches, Sunny Bay Beach about a 5 minute walk away, windy but quiet which made it so nice to relax and on the first day I may have got really bad sunburn! But no matter how much suncream I put on me and my pale skin will always burn! But it soon went to a nice brown! There was also Nissi Beach about a 10 minute taxi ride (8 euros) it was stunning, the sea was so blue and warm and wasn't windy but had the most amazing umbrellas for shade, definitely recommend visiting this place!

 

The main attraction to our holiday was definitely the bars and clubs! It was end of season so was quiet but still busy and there weren't as many Brits as I thought there would be but we got to meet amazing people from so many countries! We would start off in Craigs Bar so cheap and is 2.50 euro for a drink and 3 shots so that got us going for the night! Next was Simos Bar with the best two reps there every night they were so accomodating and funny and always got us drunk witht the 2 litre fishbowl but they were so entertaining! Next up was Carwash, we went in there once and I would think of Popworld or Decade Music to describe this so it was refreshing. Then came Rubix Bar where you could get many offers especially our favourite free cocktail offer! We had a cocktail called the Singapore (something - can't remember the rest!) but Rob the rep persuaded us to get the Cherry Kiss which was amazing so thank you Rob you are an awesome rep! I would also recommend Aruba, Black n White and Starskys bar they have awesome deals and have amazing music! We met so many people and made amazing memories! But the best of all was on the last night getting my nose peirced and my first tattoo matching with my friend. We both got love hearts and I got mine on the back of my neck!

All together it was an amazing holiday and I have serious Napa Blues! 

So this is the start of my new blog. It will include, live music events, fitness blogs, my never changing choker all black outfits and more! 

Although my recent purchase of this Miss Guided dress is about 3% of my bright coloured clothing! 

See you soon for my next blog! 

Its all about moving day into my new house in Bournemouth ready to start second year!

Bye xo
