#2 less is more

I believe it was Chanel who made up this tip, but I feel it is my duty to pass it on! Take off the last item you put on! So when you’ve loaded on your jewellery take off that last bracelet, because most of the time it is one too many!

#1 White’s the new Black!

If you want your eyes to look bigger and brighter (I know I sound like an advert!) well use white eyeliner on your water line, rather than black - black may make your eyes look dramatic, it will also make them look smaller where as white will widen them and make them look brighter!

I'm going to start doing a weekly random tip for anything like make up, skin, fashion life etc. every Sunday

'I'll have a double blended mocha frappucino, small, no cream'.....'please'.

So recently I have been experiencing the highs and lows of my personal Starbucks and caffeine addiction... it all started in food technology...
Last week or something around that time, our food tech teacher told us all that if we bring in our own tea bags, etc. we can use the kettles at the side of the room and make a drink at the beginning of the lesson. At this point in time I was still experiencing my caffeine high, and with my personal love for Starbucks I was abnormally pleased to be able to make a coffee in class. It was probably part of my sitting in Starbucks with my coffee and laptop writing for a fashion magazine fantasy, and so in food tech sure enough I made myself a coffee, but you must take into account i had a coffee the day before...and the day before...and the- well you get the idea. So I had my coffee did my work and for about 2 hours I was hyper. Then later on I started to get tired, and tired. then I had another coffee the next day and was even more tired afterwards (this would be the caffeine low part) so since that day (about 4 days ago) I have not had a coffee and if I have a Starbucks I have decaf. So to my fellow addicts I tell you there is hope!!

Oh and by the way if you don't know what Starbucks is you need to get out of the hole your living in and get yourself a frappucino!!

School trip to Germany

I am going on a school trip next year for 5 days, we go to Auschwitz, the Berlin wall, the factory from schnidlers list etc. I love history in school, i find it very interesting and am really looking forward to this trip. My dad showed me this artical in a newspaper about Ausvitz and going there. I didn't know what to expect before but i think it will be a lot more emotional and moving that i anticipated. As it wasn't just blood thirsty machete wielded killing, it is almost worse. It was so methodical and cold and clever how they managed to kill thousands. In this article it talks about before children went in to the 'showers' to be gassed they were told to tie there shoe laces together so they wouldn't get separated for when they came out, instead this was so that they would be easier to sell as they would be together. I talked to my teacher about the trip and i asked her if anyone cries, she said 'It's not that kind of sad, its more of a shock and realism rather than crying sad'. 

           I am still looking forward to this trip I think its one of those things/places that you have to see before you die. I will do a post about the trip in April.

Big Brother 2010!

I have literally just finished watching the final of big brother 2010, and watching all the past house mates re enter for ULTIMATE BIG BROTHER. If anyone out there doesn't know what that is (just in case you've been trapped in a cardboard box for the past 77 days), basically they have got all the best (and the worst) house mates, stuck them back in the house and we get to sit back and watch the chaos for 2 weeks until one of them is crowned the ultimate big brother winner!!
When the house mates all went back in, I was pleased to see Nikki, despite the tantrums you just love to hate her don't you! I was so shocked to not see Pete back in there! I had already placed my bets on him winning ultimate big brother, and he's not even in there!!! All was okay in the end as Davina revealed that two more house mates would be entering, but not through the door? Hopefully one of them is Pete!
So Josie just got announced the winner, which I think everyone knew was gonna happen, even if you didn't want her to win, the crowd chanting 'Josie! Josie!' kind of gave it away! Is it just me or was Sam Pepper AWESOME! I so thought he was gonna be in the final!! I was honestly devastated that he got evicted!
I didn't expect Dave (the monk) to get so far, he was funny, but was it just me or was he bitchier than some of the best girls out there!
I'm of course looking forward to the fights, the tasks, the love and the final from Ultimate Big Brother! I'll keep you posted!

House work!

I just finished doing that massive tidy of your room that you do every so often. I usually give me room a little once over every couple of weeks, but you know when it gets to that stage where you actually cannot see the floor! For anyone else who is dreading when they have to do this, I would say just think it will be so much nicer once it's done! (and it is) and also if your having trouble suming up the energy, well when you get that feeling of ok lets just do it, then do it then or you won't feel like it another time. Put some music on in your room, not slow sad music but upbeat tunes with a good beat to keep up your energy. Don't tell anyone but I usually end up tidying while dancing and singing to the music. A bit embarrassing perhaps but very good to make the work less painful! Also just another thing to think about when you get to that stage of, Please let me stop! house work actually burns calories! Once the work's done you'll find yourself much more relaxed and less stressed in a tidy room. Em x

She's 14? Must be immature!

Ageism can be a touchy subject as any type of discrimination is, but like every bad thing, I feel it is best to talk about it and voice your opinions (within reason!) So that's what I'm doing.

My thoughts are, that it bugs me that people the second you tell them you are 13, 14 or that kind of age they automatically think that you are immature or don't know what you are doing. Maybe some 13 year old's don't know what they're doing but I am a mature person for my age, and I have been very happy lately on how a couple of people have taken me seriously and treated me with such maturity. So thank you Heather and Beth for helping me reach my goals and not thinking 'Oh she's only 14 she doesn't know what she wants to do'.
