Be Yourself!!

It's funny to think that in less than 2 months 2015 will be over. It's been a strange year that's for sure. One that I will remember. 

It's been a year for hellos and goodbyes, fresh starts, new memories, firsts and lasts trial, and error but mostly it's been the best year for me learning about myself. 

I've learnt that I a much stronger person than I think I am and you lot reading this are too. It's a lot more easy to realise than you think so here's some ways of helping you to notice this. 

1) say yes more! 
If an opportunity comes your way like a trip, a job interview or something that you wasn't expecting say yes. This year I have said yes to so many things and maybe if they weren't all good in the short run, in the long run, like now it was a good thing. I learnt things about myself through doing this. I went places I never thought I'd go. I saw things I never thought I'd see and it's made the year so good. 

2) be confident 
Just be confident in yourself. Allow yourself to express who you are. Stand your ground and look after yourself, don't let people push you around. Be the bigger person. If on the inside you're not confident, put a brave face on and hold your head high and be PROUD to be yourself. 

3) be yourself! 
Although I say be confident don't let yourself get lost in the busy world. Yourself is the best person of you and people love you for it. 


Love, luck and ambition

Favourite things about Christmas!

Hi everyone

Halloween has gone and that means it is the countdown to Christmas, so I know its still a little early but I thought I would be ahead of the game and give you my top 5 things about the Christmas season.

1) Christmas Lights!

I'm a sucker for fairy lights  and always get ahead of the game when buying them to decorate my room- this is something I plan to do in the next couple of days. Last year I had red hearts up on the wall and around my small Christmas tree to keep the Christmas spirit alive everywhere.

2) Christmas films!

I love a good Christmas film, my favourite being the Santa Clause movies all of them are so good, funny, magical and really make Christmas for me, they are usually on in the run up to Christmas if not I like to throw the DVD on and watch it again and again. I just love it!

3) Christmas Jumpers!

I love my Christmas jumpers I have a very good collection of these and I can safely say that I will be wearing them as soon as it hits the 1st of December. Christmas is officially here when it gets to that date.

4) Putting up the decorations.

As a family we tend to put the decorations up the first or second weekend of December depending on what day my mums birthday falls on. Only after her birthday are we allowed to put them up. Last year I had sole responsibility of the tree putting it up and decorating it and may I say it looked fab!

5) Getting people presents.

I love getting people presents it is definetly the best part of Christmas, over the last couple of years since I've been working I have been able to buy good quality presents for my family and this is my new favourite thing about the holiday season- thinking about it I need to start my shopping, going to do it all online this year for a change see if I am more successful!

wow...
now I really am feeling ready for the Christmas season. Not long now!!!!

Broken laptop!

Hi everyone! 

I'm so sorry that there has been not a single update on this blog for over a week! My laptop has broken. I know it is not an excuse but I've been desperately trying to upload videos to my YouTube as a priority! One is uploading as we speak. I've had to use my phone to upload it so its taking forever! 

Please head over and watch their will be a link on the next post if I have already finished his one when it has processed! 

I hope you have all been well and are managing to navigate your way round my blogs new look. I'm still getting used to it. If you don't like it let me know via Twitter and I can change it back-I think! 

Just to update you with my life I have managed to land myself and interview in a completely different role to what I am doing now this will balance out my hours and allow me to have two part time jobs, if I get it of course. I'm really optomoistic about this but hoping that I don't over do it. After all that happened last year I am still very cautious of my mental strength.

I'll keep you posted. 

Love, luck and ambition

My best experiences of 2015 so far.

I have to day this year has been one with many ups and downs but I have to say I have been very lucky with the adventures I have been on!

Here are some of the things that have make my year so far.

1) 'Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown' on the West End in London.
This was awesome because I met my friend Arabella for the first time after speaking to her for like 6 months at least on Instagram. Not only this I met the ultimate theatre performer Willemijn Verkaik. I cried with so much happiness that day it was awesome! 11.04.15



2) Take That III live Tour 2015.
This day was one I had waited to go to for so long! After Take That reformed in 2006 I had been dying to go and see one of their shows, after struggling to find people to go with and struggling to get tickets nearly 9 years later and two members short it finally happened at it was the best day ever! Right at the front singing at the top of my voice and dancing like there is no tomorrow it was a day work waiting for.  06.06.15
 
 


3) Wicked West End London
It was the second time I saw the show and it was just as incredible as I remember. The cast was just stunning and the performance was on point. Just amazing! I took this trip with work and it was such a nice experience treating a friend and taking her as her wedding present, her first west end show was a blast! 18.07.15



4) Birthday trip with Arabella
I took a trip to London with my friend Arabella, seeing her for the first time since April we stuck to our theme of the West End, we both love Wicked and decided to take a trip to meet the wonderful Savannah Stevenson who was even more beautiful than ever, and so happy to see us. It really was a brilliant day.  05.08.15




These are some of my highlights from 2015 so far, I will keep you posted on other awesome things I get up to.

If you want any advice of opinions on trips to take be sure to let me know and I will see what I can do to help :)

More Facts about me!


5 Quotes to get you through!

Hey everyone,

So everybody loves a quote don't they? I know I do!

I have many favourites that I'm sure you will love too!

1) 'Just remember you will always get up again, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but you will and that's what will make you stronger' Willemijn Verkaik. This is a quote that helped me a lot last year.

2) 'when one does not know what to say, it is a time to be silent' Yul Brynner, The King and I. This may sound obvious but sometimes you have to be reminded that sometimes it is ok to be silent.

3) We are not prefect human beings nor do we have to pretend to be, but it is necessary for us to be the best versions of ourselves' Unknown. No-one is perfect. Fact!

4) 'For a true hero is not measured by the size of his strength but the strength of his heart' Hercules 1997. The best people are the ones who care, reputation is not the key, your heart is.

5) 'Today is a new begining' Unknown. Everyday is a new day! Don't forget that, live for now!


Thanks for reading, let me know you daily quotes!

Depression and Anxiety

Hi everyone,

This is I strange blog post, one I never thought I would have the confidence to write. I feel, however that for you to know me better this is something you need to know.

Around this time last year (2014) I started to suffer from some pretty serious panic attacks and at first I really didn't know what they were. It was honestly some of the most scary moments of my life. I have always been an anxious person and people around me knew that but I never thought it would become such a massive part of who I am.

It all started when I began to do too much, more than I was capable of. I was studying my second year of A-Levels, learning to drive (which I never completed), just started work in the real world, babysitting regularly and volunteering as a leader at a Brownie girl guides pack. It might not sound like a lot but it left me with hardly anytime to unwind and take time for myself or spend time with my family, this lead me to feel really stressed.

It became so bad that I couldn't go to school because I felt so anxious I thought I was going to be sick. The thought of school petrified me because it meant more hard work that I just didn't have the energy for.

As I became more and more stressed I became the more angry I got with myself for not being able to control the life I thought I loved. This slowly lead me to shut myself away in anytime that I had to myself. This then progressed to depression. I became so ill that I was making myself sick but not on purpose. I even had to spend Christmas day at home on my own instead of going to see my family. This really was a kick up the bum to get some help.

I never spoke about this to anyone, I didn't want medication, I didn't want to go to the doctor by instead I spoke to my old doctor who I now know through work, I trust her and I knew she would be honest with me without being in the uncomfortable GP surgery which puts me on edge anyway. She told me what I thought I knew, I was suffering with anxiety and depression :(

This made me so determined to be get better, I gave up driving I did less babysitting, this gave me time for myself and much needed time with my family, which I treasure now after all that time I wasted.

The road to recovery was long and difficult but I didn't give up, I began to feel less stressed and not so sick all the time, I began to sleep better and I slowly began to feel like myself again. I remember the first time I smiles and laughed and I said to myself 'I don't remember the last time I laughed like that' and it was true I didn't. I have to thank my friends for that! Thanks Sophie xx

I finally felt like the worst of this horrible nightmare was almost over and I can happily say it was. By the time it got to April 2015 I was having far more good days than bad. I met a friend from Instagram for the first time Arabella and I also met my idol Willemijn Verkaik on the same day. Arabella's friendship and Willemijn's music was something I relied on heavily through this tough time. It was honestly the best day ever! This was so special and to have my mum there was also awesome. Also another special mention to Savannah Stevenson (Glinda in Wicked, West End) who was always there to reply to tweets and just uplift me whenever I needed, it was a pleasure to meet her too.
Arabella, Willemijn, Me


This was the happiest I had been in the longest time, and when thinking about it now as I write this I could cry, I cried so much that day of so much happiness and relief it felt like a weight was off of my shoulders. It felt so much more special because I was finally feeling like me and this was one of the first in a long time.

Of course there are still good days and bad days but I can say confidently that there are now very few bad days. One year later and this horrible time if over and I have the best bunch of people around me know and I am so lucky and greatful! without these awesome people, friends, family and people that don't even know me have made life all that much better again.

So this post is just to show that it is possible for good to come from bad and that there is no point in giving up.

If anyone reading this needs anyone to talk to or any advice please let me know because talking really is the best therapy for anxiety and depression  I only wish I learnt that sooner.

To show you that this year has been full of good days I will post below some pictures of the memories that I want to treasure from this last year.

Thanks for reading
Love, Luck and Ambition

Morning Rotuine

Hi everyone,

So every morning I follow pretty much the same routine with beauty and in this blog post I will be showing you the products I use and why I love them, hopefully you can then recreate this look at home. Tweet me picture if you do!

So first I wash my hair I use Head and Shoulders shampoo because other shampoos dry out my scalp, this is the best shampoo for this.
 
Instead of using conditioner I use L'OREAL Paris Elvive Full Restore. This really helps keep my hair soft and strong and repairs the heat damage from using the hairdryer etc. this product helps my hair to shine without looking greasy, this gives a natural feel and appearance and I highly recommend it!
 
 
Now moving on to make up. While I allow my hair to dry I will apply my make up.
1) Foundation: Rimmel Lasting Finish liquid foundation. I love the photo finish it provides, it enhances my skin and gives it the healthy glow I love. Also it lasts all day which is perfect for bust days.
 
 2) Eye shadow: Sleek I-Divine Oh So Special palette. I LOVE THIS! it is the best eye shadow palette I have ever purchased! I use the pale colours with a darker tone to define my eye along the lower lash.


the finished look!
 
 



3) Eye Liner: Soap and Glory SuperCat liquid liner. I stand by this eyeliner for every occasion. It's easy to apply due to its felt tip like pen. It is incredible!
 
4) Mascara: Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black. Now I am the sort of the person who changes their mascara regularly to try and find the perfect one. This one is definitely the best one I have purchased in a long time. This is because it doesn't make my top or bottom lashes clump together, it makes my short bottom lashed extended and I love it. I recommend this to anyone with short lashes.
 
 
5) Bronzer/Highlighter: Bourjois Bronzing powder and highlighter. Not only do I love this product because it looks like a chocolate bar but because it does create the natural glow that so many people are looking for! I love it!
 
6) Powder: Natural Collection. This is just a simple powder that helps take the greasy look away. Its cheap too £1.99 so its perfect not to bust the bank!

 
 7) Lipstick: Rimmel Kate 107. I love this dark tone that really emphasises and gives a definition of the face. This product can make your whole face look completely different, in a good way!
 
 
 
This completes my look... here is a before and after so you can see the full look!

After

 


  Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed it and found some new products.

How long?

Hi everyone,

Sorry for being away so long it's been a bit of a ride.

Recently I have passed my Alevel  exams and headed in to the real world.

I decided to go into the world of work rather than head to university because I hate following the crowd and when I can do the uni course I want whilst at work for free I'm definitely going to do that. So here I am earning my own money and paying my way and it feels great it really does.

Heading into this whole different world is so strange having a different routine alone is awesome. I've made new friends and developed stronger relationships with old and new friends.

Now I'm back on track and completely comfortable in my life I hope that this blog will be updated much more and I really hope you and enjoy reading it....

Thanks for being patient
Love, luck and ambition
