Exams, gluten and my first reviews

Hey guys!

I know it's been a little while since my last post but I have my reasons!

Easter holidays just passed and I'll be honest, I barely even remember it. I spent well over a week ill and feeling sorry for myself because that was the third holiday in a row that I spent with a horrid cold or fever. It really isn't nice. When I'm ill, my brain doesn't really work properly so I wasn't surprised when my parents told me to stay in bed after they found a comb in the fridge and a dinner plate in the utensils draw. Oops. >.<

While I was ill-ridden and in bed I decided to make this blog to try and see if I can mix up a few of my favourite things and put them out to you all. Photography and make-up are lovely things, but I'm no pro when it comes to either! So hopefully you'll bear my mistakes and forgive me with my puppy eyes.

My first point! Along came Wednesday 10th of April and I realised I still had a ton of work to do for college. So while I got stuck into my Biology book with my recovering self, all other things really and truly just flew over my head. It's why I haven't posted and won't be posting frequently until they're over.

It's now nearly two weeks after that and I'm still getting back into the flow of college. Essays, revision notes, cue cards and God-knows-what-else has pretty much taken over my life right now. I'll be honest though, the only real learning I do in an academic year is during revision season.

Second point! So while I'm slumped with all my exams I've also got another little bugger that's been pestering me for a year now (and will do for the rest of my life I'm afraid.) This time last year I was heavily and intensely under pressure with my AS exams. I'd never done a resit in my life and I'd struggled throughout the whole year with Chemistry and Biology. It actually ruined my life because I developed a gluten intolerance which is a pain in the bum. It's a pretty long story so I'll put it on a page just so it's there for easy access rather than a post. (Top of my page, clickity-click!)

Third point! This one's a little nicer. I took a little trip down to Superdrugs lately and bought myself a few things which I've decided to review. The first is the Rimmel Lip Lacquer in Galaxy which I'll post. I'll also be doing a review on the Sleek Au Naturel palette and an MUA Lipstick in shade 2. :)

I know this has been very long post but I had to get rid of the backlog of things and which I just can't stand.

Happy reading and exploring.

My best memories of 2012.

Hey, there.

So, what I've planned to do is go through every month of 2012 and choose the highlight of that month. It'll be a way for me to remember and share the best bits of my 2012. :)

Let's start at the beginning. January.

For starters, it's my birthday month, but I didn't do anything for it because I was busy revising for my first ever A-Level Chemistry exam which was on the day. Friday the 13th didn't prove to be so great because I failed it. Boo. :( But enough of the sad stuff, I said this would be a highlight so it will.

Okay, I'm struggling already. I can't find something really exciting for January 2012 that happened to me but I can tell you that the band I was supporting for 2 years got their first official number one in the UK official chart! It was a emotional moment because I've followed them since they started posting covers in 2010, being signed, releasing their own music then getting a number one!

It was even more exciting because they're not even a UK act, they're from the sunny island of Barbados! (I will go there one day, it's basically paradise on Earth.) Yep, that band is Cover Drive and they went to number one with Twilight. I shed a tear.

I met them a couple months earlier but the photo is awful so I won't post it. :)

My favourite cover is of J-Lo - I'm Into You and favourite song has to be either Hurricane or Headphones of their album Bajan Style.

So yeah, they're pretty awesome and lovely people so go check them outtt! :)
