I am also a tan virgin, so any tips on how to fake tan then i would very grateful, i am sick of being so pale, but i can't get a proper tan from the sun as i get heat stroke easily :(

OOTD | Family Dinner

So last night, we all gathered round my nans to celebrate my grandpa's 70th birthday. I stupidly thought that we were going out to eat instead of just staying at my nans so i was all kinda dressed up whilst everyone else was in jeans and tshirt. At least my little cousin was wearing a party dress so i didn't feel so stupid.(LOL, such a div). Anyways, it took me a couple of hours to get ready (i kept getting distracted by the TV and phone etc). I've never done an outfit of the day before, I'm not exactly super model material and am quite self conscious, so I'm not really sure how this will turn out or if I'm brave enough to do another one...

Sorry for the crappy quality of these photo's, i took them in a rush!

Blazer: Matalan, around £15

Tshirt: Primark £2.50

Leggings: Matalan £8

Shoes: Primark £6

You can kinda see what i used on my face, I'll go into detail in a mo

I just left my hair to dry naturally after the shower, and curled the ends.



On my nails i put the Barry M topcoat on, then two coats of Peach Melba, with Pink Iridescent.



Apologies for the dusty mirror and the self conscious pose:/
(Bag from primark, around £4) 



This doesn't even look like me haha, but this was my makeup if you can see it well enough which you probably can't..

The products i used on my face are:

Collection 2000 Colour Match foundation
Collection 2000 16 Hour concealer
Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder
Rimmel eyebrow pencil
MUA mosaic blush in English Rose
MUA Heaven and Earth eyeshadow palette
Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Cat eyes mascara
Natural Collection kohl white eyeliner
Natural Collection lipstick in Pink Mallow

We had a lovely chinese dinner :)
Let me know what you think about me doing OOTD's, i may decide to do some more in the future or i may not, i'm not exactly a fashionista and i certainly don't have a catwalk wardrobe, however i have my own style and if i feel like i like an outfit one day then i'll think about blogging it:)
Thanks for taking a peep

Introducing moi :)

Although i've had my blog for a few months now, i haven't really introduced myself, which is silly. It's taken a while for me to get used to Blogger and how to customise my blog to exactly how i want it.. so welcome to my blog!

My name is Laura and i'm 15 years old :) I live in the south west of England. I'm still in school (boo) and i'm just coming up to the end of year 10 (yay!)


This is a bad copy from a family photo shoot :P

Dancing is my main passion, i've been dancing ever since i was 3 years old, i have done various styles and i'm currently enjoying BTEC Dance in school.



Aww cutsie one of me when i was 7 lol

I'm also very into makeup and fashion and am trying to build my knowledge of it and develop my own style (which isn't easy for a 15 year old with no job).

I have big ambitions for the future but am afraid i'll fail :s

I don't have alot of confidence, and although alot of people say this (EVERYONE has insecurities) it's generally true, i've always been a quiet child and i've never really grown out of it...

All you need to know is that i'm a pinkaholic, chocaholic and a shopaholic!!
hehe:)

And finally, follow my blog:) It would put a huge smile on my face :D

Thank you very muchly:)

Counting down the days..

Do you ever get so fed up with things that you literally wish the days away until you can be free? Well i certainly do! I have around 7 weeks left of year 10 and recently i've been getting myself a bit down about little things. You know you're stressed when the little things start getting you down (Miranda quote there)..

Anyway things i've been down about include revision and doing all my homework on time, and getting decent grades. Some friends which haven't exactly been there for me lately. And then there's the stress of trying to make new friends. A bit difficult for a slightly overweight, quiet 15 year old. Also, not being allowed to move science groups, even though i've explained how anxious my class makes me seeing as everyone's in little friendship groups and i have to try and tag along to one of them every time we do an experiment. Every time i hear 'get into groups' i have a panic attack. But teachers always know whats best for you.. I could scream it in their faces till i turn blue but they still wouldn't listen, they're so stubborn. So that's mostly the reason i'm counting down the days until the summer holidays, only 30 days left and 18 science lessons. I'll be fine, hopefully. And the fact that i'm a lazy bugger and leave everything till the last minute then panic and stress myself out trying to do it on time. I never learn..

I convince myself that i don't get enough free time, although most of my free time i spend on my laptop doing everything i can to put off doing any work. I'm such a good student :)
So i've actually gone as far as making a chart/calender thing highlighting days i have off and crossing off the days as summer gets closer. I'm quite excited for this summer. 1 because i've been looking forward to it for so long, and 2 because me and the girls have planned something for almost everyday of the holidays so we're not bored and stuck at home like we usually are haha. Plus, i need to make up for last summer, being (quite) ill, in hospital at 2:30am and still ill when we went away (not fun).. So the summer of 2012 will be full of lots of days out and albums full of silly photos :p

Also cannot wait for better weather. I know that's being optimistic of me seeing as i live in England, but today i brought along some things to have a photo session in my nan's garden as the sun was shining this morning, but now there's grey clouds:(
Probably best though as i'm suffering from a cold and an ear infection (woe is me)..

Cheryl - Call My Name

I will start this off by saying i'm a HUGE fan of Cheryl. First off, i've noticed she's ditched the surname, she's now just Cheryl instead of Cheryl Cole, which i am glad about, it's now all about Cheryl and we can all forget the whole Cole thing :)

Cheryl is my idol, i love her style and her gorgeous bouncy hair, her music and just her general personality. I've watched the teasers for her new video, and the teasers definitely worked. I've been so looking forward to this video, she's been working on her new album since the middle of last year, and that's quite a long time to wait! So i'm very excited that her new video has finally graced my YouTube with it's presence. I let out a little squeal when i saw it!!

I love that she has her old, signature brunette bouncy curls back, and the subtle cut fringe is divine. It makes me despair at my own hair sometimes. And there is no way i can fault her style, it is absolutely flawless. I don't think she'd look bad in anything!

Her main outfit in the video is the print harem pants with the fluorescent bra top and wedges, with a leather jacket. wow. I would love to be able to pull this of, simply because Cheryl wore it. As a dancer, one of the things that caught my eye the most is the dance moves. She can move!! I think i'll be spending the next week watching the video back trying to learn all of them, although i don't think i'll pull them off like she has.

Her album, A Million Lights is out June 18th, and i'll be doing what i've done for the past 2 albums, and rushing into HMV the day it's released and buying it! I really cannot explain my love for Cheryl and this video, i am sooooo excited for her album and i really hope she does a tour soon, i'll be going!!

'How do you think i feel when you call my name?' is gunna be stuck in my head all week, such a catchy song!

I am a proud soldier :)

Much love

Laura :) x

ill.. :(

Typical.. here in the south west of England the weather has been awful these past couple of weeks, heavy showers and howling gales. And when i'm poorly in bed, blue skies and shining sun decide to make their appearance.
This morning i woke up to another indigestion attack, meaning no school for me today. Some of you may be wondering what an indigestion attack is, it's nothing official in hospital terms, but thats how me and my mum describe them after the doctors have been bloody useless. It would take a whole blog post to describe, but i'll keep this short and sweet as i really have no energy :(

I haven't been off ill for such a long time, and i've rediscovered some old traditions that i did when i was ill when i was a little'un. Obviously there's the best part, staying in your jim jams all day in bed and being waited on. Another is sticking on the children's programs on tv. Come one, i know everyone does it. It's a guilty pleasure of mine when i'm ill or a bit down, it helps me to think clearer and realise things aren't so bad :)

So as i've been watching childrens programs all day, i've noticed some old favourites of mine that i loved when i was younger. I certainly feel 5 again instead of 15. Now lets see if anyone else remembers these programs as well as i do! Or if you're a parent who has a child who used to watch these, or watches them now, just my entertainment for the day :)

Should all know this one :)



This is an easy one!

Everybody shold know this one!

Did you guess them right?

1.Balamory!

2.Peppa Pig!

3. Come Outside!

I know you think i must be the coolest 15 year old in the world haha.

Oh, and another thing that i forgot to mention about being ill is the soup! Escpecially when you're poorly with an upset tummy :( Good old tomato soup :)

I've tried to put on a brave typing voice (is that even a term? idk what it is, i'ma call it that) as i'm really not up to much right now, apart from lying in bed watching Cebeebies. If anyone would like to cheer me up please feel free! And i hope there's other cool people out there that guessed all of them right lol. So i'm going to go back to being comfy like this:

It's upside down, and i seem to have a leopard theme going on:/

And i'll see u all soon!

Much love, from a very-sorry-for-herself Laura :) x
