A day with friends and New Years traditions

Hello world!

I hope everyone is having a relaxing time, before they hit the parties on this New Years!
What is everyone doing for the New Years? I need inspiration! I would most likely sit and watch Alan Carr, just like I did last year.
As it is a couple of days before the big night of partying or doing what it is you do on that one night. I always like to use the couple of days before the alcoholic induced night (that is, if you do drink alcohol like I do),  as a time to reflect on my year, to think of new things I would like to do and what I would like to improve on myself emotionally and physically.

I remember last year, talking about the usual- losing weight, being confident, moving out of Taunton, travelling more, planning a career change.

I think I have done a lot of those things. I am also working on something about this sort of thing for my next Blog/Vlog!

I am also working towards figuring out my New Years Resolution and what I want done in next year.

Another thing I like to do as I prepare for the New Year and that is to spend time with the Bestest friend Christina. It is a tradition for us to go to a certain beach and just to reflect on our time together and what we have achieved during that year. What we would like to achieve for next year as well.
I created a video for everyone to view what it is we do at the beach. It was just nice and it is also very good that Christina is finally warming up to me filming everything now.

Christmas Holidays!

Merry Christmas homies!

I hoped you all have had a great few days with family, friends and many fantastic loved ones.

I have had a great day. Because I have a family that pretty much works in care, someone is always working!
That day it was my dad and brother. So when they all came home at 7pm that night and we all had food and opened our gift for each other, we had the best time ever!

I grew up with this.
For as long as I can remember, someone in my family had to work on Christmas day. Someone was always missing or had to go away for a few hours.

This is something that has taught me to how be kind to other people. How much more there is to Christmas than just having to spend time with the family, friends and loved ones.
An ideal Christmas is to spend that one day with those people. But its the emotion that people feel. The kindness, the achievement when doing something kind or something goodwill.

I have always disliked Christmas, my mother has always felt guilty with the fact that someone would always be working on Christmas and tried to make up with that by giving presents. I have always hated that, my brother and I have always hated that.
But it seemed this year I have taken a different turn.
I have learned throughout my whole life, to give kindness to other people by my parents and to expect nothing in return. But only recently the most recent thing I have been learning, empathise on the LEARNING is to also be selfish and do things for me.
I moved out the home town, to Bristol. I have started a new job and I have started writing this Blog about my lifestyle.
I have also develop in confidence to voice the fact that I would rather read books, than to watch mindless TV. I prefer things like sci-fi and fantasy, Ahem- HARRY POTTER. But I still love things all things pretty like fashion, music and beauty products.
I have admitted defeat to the boy band obsession and girl band obsession and is in love with One Direction and Little Mix.
I feel like I have strayed away from the point of this Blog, I am trying to write.

Ok, the point I am making. Having my family working on Christmas has always made me realise the true meaning of Goodwill.
Giving selfless time away.
Being helpful.
Making someone, a child, a person smile.
Thats how I want to see for Christmas.

Someone gave me a smile this Christmas, and gave me something to less stress about and it was all through goodwill.
That is what I want to do every year. Give something
That is what Christmas is about for me, and it might help me get excited for it every year now on.
I have always been a kind person.
But once someone said to be, to be someone healthy physically and mentally I have moderate myself.
So kindness and selfish within moderation.
This time, I will be kind for someone without expecting anything in return. But always remember what it is important to me.
I hope I've made sense here.
I feel like I haven't.

Saturday, Clothes Show NEC!

Hello world!
How are we all? Good? Me?
Well, I am still feeling pretty much nostalgic from the whole Clothes Show Live at the NEC in Birmingham. The weekend was really fun and totally the BEST TIME EVER!
I went with an old colleague of mine before I moved to Bristol, Danielle... (Danielle and you other girls... I MISS YOU!! *Backwards Tick*. They will understand). She just had to be the best person ever to go with, she understands the need to shop, admire creativity and also that it ok I live with my camera!
So, to any of you people out there, that does not know what a Clothes Show Live is? Let me elaborate for you:
The Clothes Show Live is held at the NEC, which is in Birmingham. You can pay up to about £30 for a ticket and you have choice of over three-four days to choose from, it will pretty much cover a weekend. Everyone does their best shopping over the weekend. I would say, that you need to have at least one whole day to spend at the NEC because, when you arrive there, there is loads of stalls from various boutiques, clothing, make-up, beauty products, acessories and even some home ware products. Yes, a whole day will do nicely for some extreme shopping extravaganza!
When you also pay for that ticket, you are also taken to the main theatre, where they do a runway of clothing and models, include a few dancers and story telling theme and you have just seen the Clothes Show Live. The main theatre is always my favourite part and the main reason I am forever wanting to go, (this is my third time attending) I love just watching fashion shows and catwalk models. I find them beautiful, I never want to be them, I find the creation they wear is amazing and I would love to work to create one or make a story related theme for them to walk down the catwalk too.
Also one of the great reason I keep going back, is that I love seeing what everyone is wearing. Everyone, including myself like to dress really well to these sort of things, always sticking to the fashion and sticking to their own style of clothing. I love seeing how everyone are so creative with their blank canvas of a face and the clay they mould to create their own clothes. Everyone always look so beautiful.
This is what I wore to the show:


I mainly stuck with the colour green, as that has been this season colour. It is also my colour.




Another and completely pointless meaning for attending the Clothes Show Live in my opinion and that is the celebrities. Ok, I only wanted to go because I heard Henry Holland was hosting the show, but thats besides the point! The point I really want to make is the times I saw girls running and chasing these people through the stalls to get a photo or what not. I was here for the shopping and the shopping only.
Which I did really well with!
I found some of the products there was amazing. I bought loads of makeup, that I am really looking forward to trying out. One of the exciting things that I have purchased was from Jelly Pong Pong, for £5 I got four products. A Lip Blush, Eye liner, Wake me up palate and a bronzer. I have always been meaning to buy a bronzer and never got round to it, so now that I have one I have no reason to not use it! £10 and I got a Barry M goodie bag, that is filled with a couple of eye crayons, eye pencil, glitter pots, nail varnish and this most amazing eye mascara I have ever tried. I mean it seperated my eye lashes amazingly well.
£10 on probably the best shoes I have ever seen. BEAUTIFUL! An amazing dress and some magazines that I also felt was a steal. I mean come on Elle, £3 for O.P.I nail polish and St Tropez tanning thingy and two of your magazines!? BEST BARGAIN EVER! I really should just subscribe to them.

Lately, I have been feeling a bit nostalgic against some things.
 Like being able to run in fields in wellingtons and not have a care in the world.
Lately, I have been feeling like a little girl lost in the big world.
 I should be somewhere professionally, but partying and sex still controls me.
Lately, I have been feeling like I should be growing up mentally.
Those thirty something women, they seem to have it all. A story to tell.
Then lately I have been feeling like my life is the best thing ever.
I am still creating my story to tell.
