Easter Playlist

Hey, it's the Easter holidays! And, as I'm in my final year of GCSE's, I'm stuck doing revision for most of the next two weeks. The only thing that gets me through revision is music so I thought I would share some of songs that are currently stuck in my head. Maybe you might discover something you haven't heard of yet...

22 - Taylor Swift: This song just hasn't left my head ever since I first heard it. It is so catchy and it makes me just want to jump up and dance.

Thrift Shop - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis: Yes, this is still stuck in my head. I don't know what it is about this song, whether it's the crazy music video or the whacky lyrics, but it just makes me smile and I love it.

Dumb - Tich: I first heard about Tich at a music festival in Guernsey and her performance there was really good. I really like her new single as its fun and great to listen to.

+ - Ed Sheeran: Ok, so it's an album, but I love every single song on it. Ed has an amazing voice and the album is constantly playing on my IPod ever since I brought it. You can really tell how heart felt the lyrics are in each song. It's perfect to relax and is so easy to listen to.

Stay Out - Nina Nesbitt: Think of a female Ed Sheeran with blonde hair and I think your there. Nina's songs are so easy to listen to but this one is my favourite. It's her latest release and it has a lighthearted feel and a catchy beat. If you haven't heard of her yet, I seriously recommend her.

So there you go. Now, music is not my strong point but hopefully you enjoy the small selection of tunes I've picked.

Candy Delivered To Your Door


Living in the UK, I always hear about sweets and chocolate from America but I have never had the chance to go over there and try some. And now, I don't have to!

My sister discovered a website called americansweets.co.uk which delivers American candy to the UK. This made us super excited and we ordered lots from this site. And, although shipping wasn't cheap, our order came very quickly.

We brought sweets and chocolate like Twizzlers, Candy Corn and Baby Ruth bar. On top of that, they also do American crisps, drinks and cereals, so naturally my first thoughts are Lucky Charms. We also brought a packet of cookie dough Pop-tarts and much more!

So, if you have recently visited the US and miss the food or, like me, you're just curious of what the fuss is all about, do treat yourself to some candy, you deserve it!

Prom Worries

The things that worry me about prom:

1. I won't find the perfect dress

2. The dress will be too small
3. The dress will be too big
4. The dress will break on the night
5. I won't find any shoes that fit me
6. The shoes won't match the dress
7. The heels of my shoe brakes
8. I ladder my tights
9. I fall over in front of everyone
10. My make-up looks horrible

11. Someone turns up in the same dress as mine
12. I'll spill food or make-up on my dress
13. I'll dislike the food they serve at the venue
14. I will be the only one dancing
15. No one will want to dance with me
16. I won't be able to dance in my shoes
17. My hair will look terrible
18. My hair will mess up half way through the event
19. The weather will be bad and ruin my outfit
20. They will refuse me entry to prom for no reason



Now, if you are like me and have prom this year, these things probably worry you too. But, it shouldn't. Even if any of these possibilities happen you shouldn't let it ruin your night. And, by worrying about it, these things are more likely to happen. So, turn that worry into excitement for the biggest event of the school year.

The Ultimate Teen Pamper Party

Got a free evening this week or just want to relax with a couple of mates. Well, I've got a plan for  you.

I thought a great idea would be to hold a pamper party. It's really simple to do. Grab your favourite mags,  nail varnishes, face masks and some great tunes and invite some friends over for a good pampering session.

I don't think this is an original idea of mine but I had one at the weekend and everyone really enjoyed it. Especially with the current chilly weather, I don't really feel like going out places so inviting friends over is a preferred alternative.


Magazine: Vogue
Face Mask: Soap & Glory 'The Fab Pore Facial Peel'
Nail Varnishes: (From the left) The Natural Collection in Raspberry, Miss Sporty 'Long Lasting Colour' in Hypnotic Turquoise, Barry M in Peach Melba

Sugar Crush-ed

Sometimes, no matter how hard I search, I can never find a body wash that I really like. That is, until now.

I recently purchased Soap and Glory's Sugar Crush body wash from Boots after hearing people rave about it on the Internet and I am impressed. One of the best things about this product is its citrus scent which just smells of sweets, absolutely amazing. It also leaves my skin feeling really soft which I think is very important for a body wash. A real big plus for this body wash is its bottle, it looks really cool. The bight pink and lime green will brighten up any bathroom!
