Album Review #1

The Weeknd - Beauty Behind The Madness

I bought this album last Sunday and since then I have listened to it about 20 times. It is by far one of the best albums I have ever listened too. It's a magical creation and every single song is good in its own way. This album also features artists such as Ed Sheeran, Lana Del Rey & Labrinth which ,ale some of the tracks even more intriguing. 

One of my favourite songs off this album is As You Are. I love the lyrics and feel to this song and I find myself having it on repeat a lot of the time. 

Another one of my favourites is Dark Times. This is for two reasons, one it has such a catchy base line and I am guaranteed to nod along to it. The other is because it features my favourite artist in the world, Ed Sheeran. The combination of artist is heavenly and I couldn't fault it. 

One song which I didn't like when listening to the album was Earned It. It's a good song, I'm not faulting that. But before the album came out I had heard it so many times as it had featured in the film Fifty Shades Of Grey. So I just feel it was overplayed before I even got the album.

Overall, this album is a magical creation and I would recommend it to anybody! If you're interested in this you can pick it up from a various amount of places such as Amazon, HMV, Asda etc.. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, I thought I'd try something a little different.

Lots of love,

Bank Holiday Shopping

So because it's a bank holiday weekend, I decide to go to Bluewater in Kent to have a little spend up. So I thought for this blogpost I would show you what I bought!

My first stop was Bubbleology. I am literally in love with this, but it's funny because a year ago I didn't even know it existed! I usually got for a passion fruit tea with mango jelly but today I decided to go for a white peach fruit tea with apple jelly. It was delicious.

Next stop was the Krispy Kreme shop. My family and I absolutely love Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Here I bought 12 original glazed, I am so looking forward to eating them! Om nom nom.

Next I went to HMV. This is my all time favourite shop. I spend so much money in here because I prefer CDs to MP3 downloads. Today I got three CDs.

- The Weeknd / Beauty Behind The Madness

This is the latest album from him and it's amazing!! It also includes Ed Sheeran whoop. I adore The Weeknd so much and every single album he has made has been brilliant.

- The Weeknd / Kiss Land

See told you I love The Weeknd, haha.

- Ella Eyre / Feline 

This album was definitely worth it. It has such a good sound and vibe and I love it. 

I then went to Lush, I bought two bath bombs which I have never had before.

They were:

- The Experimenter 

- Intergalactic 

I have high hopes for these!

Finally I went to waterstones and bought the 2016 diary by Sprinkle Of Glitter (i.e Louise). I have wanted this since it was announced and I am glad to finally have it. I hope it helps to keep me organised!

I hope you enjoyed this post! If you are a fan of Louise (Sprinkle Of Glitter) I recommend this diary. 

Lots of love...

The Past Year...

So, it's a new day which means that anything that happened before now is of little relevance. Except for this series of events which have made my year, no matter how unrelated they are.

Let's start with the 11th of July. The most fantastic day of the year. With an extremely early rise of 1:45AM and leaving the house at 3:30AM. Why you may ask? I was lucky enough to see my absolute all time favourite idol at his biggest venue to date, but yes, I had to queue. Whilst my brain was mentally dying, 12 slow long hours passed and it was time to start the "race" from the gates to the barrier. To my surprise, we made it!! I spent 5 hours of my life no more than 2ft away from acts such as Rudimental, Example & ED SHEERAN!! Oh, and I made it onto the live TV special of the show!! Let's just name this the best day ever. But it didn't stop there, the long train journey home brought us to West Ham station where we had to wait 20 minutes for a train... However I am glad we had to wait, because standing on the very same platform as me was my all time favourite you tuber. Lukeisnotsexy. We hugged, spoke and had a photo(even though I was sweaty and tired because let's face it, it was 12;40 in the morning). 

Next up is the 6th August. Again I woke up early, this time at 5:30AM and left my house at around 6:50AM. I journeyed to Brighton, where the weather wasn't so nice on this day. And queued(I must have a thing for queues). The reason for this was because I had won tickets to meet my favourite female youtuber with Superdrug, Zoella!! This was an a,asking experience and she was so nice and kind and lovely and I would happily do it all over again. In a way she's the reason I though about a blog I'm the first place. I then spent the rest of the day wandering around Brighton, along the pier in the arcade, until I left to go home again.

Last up is the 13th of August, this day had so many mixed emotions. It was AS Results day, which is basically the examiners telling you how amazing or how bad you were during exam periods. My results were mixed. I got ACDE. The E was inevitable because despite choosing that subject I just didn't connect with it so stopped trying as you only need 3 A2 levels for university anyway. The D is what got me down, it was in Maths, the one subject I spent my whole year learning and practising so yeah I was disappointed at how badly I had done. Nevertheless, I got an A in Sociology and a C in Economics which I am extremely proud of and hey, I can bring up my Maths grade next year :) 

So these three events have made my past year amazing, although they were all in the last few months, they are what I remember most about the year I've had. The good moment are what remind you of what you are living for, and me personally, I live for myself, to do things that make ME happy and make ME the best person I can be, yeah I love making the people around me proud but I prefer making them proud doing something for myself, rather than them. 

From now on its onwards and upwards, this blog is my fresh start and I intend to make every moment from now on worth it.

Lots of love...
