A haul and playing with new makeup

 I apologise about being M.I.A these past few weeks, I've been relaxing after having a pretty rough time. So at the beginning of the summer hols, i was bored out of my mind and had watched my entire DVD collection about 3 times. So me and my mum popped to the boot sale one Sunday afternoon as there's always loads of DVDs and they're super cheap (either 50p or £1). I found 6 that i wanted, I'd seen a few of them but not a couple. The one i regret buying is slumdog millionaire, I'd never seen it before but it really wasn't what i was expecting when i watched it, it's not my kinda flick. The other one i hadn't seen was the notebook, and i am completely in love with this film, it's right up my street and i found myself welling up. I'd also not seen Bridget Jones The Edge Of Reason, but i have seen the first one and was just as pleased with the second.The others i have seen, although maybe it's the wrong time of year for watching Elf! Although saying that, it was on telly the other day, along with a Christmas episode of Family Guy, shocking.

 

So i bought:

 Make It Happen (a dance film)

Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason (I found the ski scene resembled me very much on my school ski trip)

Slumdog Millionaire (boo)

The Notebook (aww)

Legally Blonde (loved it)

Elf (In 3 months maybe!)

Barry M nail paint in Aqua Green

Barry M dazzle dust in Green Silver

 

All this kept me entertained for a whole day!

I played with the dazzle dust and came up with this look, not going to call it anything because it's nothing special, so take a peek and my (very professional) pics of me playing with this dazzle dust, excuse the tired expression!

 

 

I don't think this colour goes with my eyes at all, it's not one I'd wear on a day to day basis, but I'm sure I'll find a way to wear it out somewhere or maybe play around with it some more and come up with a different look, let me know what you think!

 

I'm going to be spending more time on my blog when school starts again, because my brain is literally empty!

I hope everyone is having a great summer

School to Summer Tag!

I have seen this tag floating around on YouTube, and as i don't make YouTube videos (shyness) and i much prefer to blog, so i decided to type it instead of speak it, i'll probably make alot more sense anyway as i tend to ramble on!
Anyway, on with the tag!

1. What grade did you just complete?

I live in England, so we have years instead of grades and i think they're numbered slightly differently. I'm 15 and i've just finished year 10, again i don't know what grade that is!

2. What classes did you take? Did you have a favourite?
We have to take classes such as maths, English and science, all the compulsery, boring subjects. Year 10 is the first year of GCSE's, of which you chose your own options. In my school and the schools in my area, we are allowed to pick 4 subjects. I chose BTEC Dance which took two options, ICT and Child Development. I think i enjoyed all of my options in a different way, but i think i'd have to say BTEC Dance for the actual subject, and ICT for the fun part :)

3. What advice would you give to someone going into this grade next year?

I have loads of advice about year 10 in THIS blog post about my year 10 experience, which hopefully should help anyone who's about to go into year 10. But overall i would say to just concentrate, don't get distracted and study hard.


4. When did/do you get out for summer break?

We broke up for summer on the 20th of July, and i was extra happy that i had 6 weeks off school to relax!


5. Are you going on any vacations this summer? Where?

Nope, sadly not :( my family have decided not to go away this year, which i'm really disappointed about because this year more than any before i really need to relax! So me and some of my friends are going camping for a few days :)


6. My favourite part about summer is...

Lie ins, relaxing, no school and sun! Well, a bit of sun..


7. Do you have any goals that you want to reach by the end of the summer?

I would like to tone up a little bit and gain some confidence. I would also like to revise so i understand flippin' algebra in time for my exam in november ..


8. Are you going to any concerts or other fun events?

I'm not, but i'm going on a few days out with family and friends which should be nice :)


9. Who do you tag?

Everyone who's still in school or has just left :)

These glasses make my eyebrows make me look angry, haha

Have a good summer!
