November monthly favourites

November: the last month of autumn, but the beginning of  a new adventure; tine to take risks and do the unexpected

hey friends,
so today i wanted to talk to you about my November favourites. these are things iv been using a lot of, have enjoyed most this month or the things iv learned that i feel would be good to share this month.
YouTube
so this month iv been watching a lot of The Sidemen (Zerkaa, MiniMinter, KSI, W2S, Tbjzl, Behzinga and Vikkstar123) they mainly are gaming channels however they have got IRL videos, i really enjoy their videos, there's something about their screaming, shouting personality's that really calms me down i cant really explain it i find they really funny and calming. Iv also been enjoying a lot of Evan Edinger.' Evan describes himself by saying 'I love puns and dad jokes, and I tell the most embarrassing stories' and I'm not into puns really but i think its his own reaction to his jokes that makes it funnier and to be honest his embarrassing stories are like the cringe worthy ones that we all know i really love Evan i really like his UK VS USA series he's doing at the moment i really like to know how America is different from how i know life in the UK.  My all time favourite YouTubers have to be The SACCONEJOLYs. i really love this family. they have become part of my life and that's the main thing i love about them is how you grow with the family and watch them grow. They have been daily volgging for almost 6 years which is incredible, over the years you have seen Anna and Jonathan get married, move to the UK, have children and 6 dogs. iv been watching them for almost a year and its really cool to see how their youngest child Edwardo has grown and developed in the last few months and the same with their eldest Emilia she's going to school and is really sweet, its really cool to watch their family develop.
Hair and Beauty
This month iv discover what i would say is a saviour for my hair. i always use Aussie shampoo and conditioner, on my damaged hair. now back in June i got a perm which dries your hair out and just makes it frizzy and i really dislike my perm so i was given some of the JOHN FRIEDA FRIZZ-EASE collection from a friend and its saved my frizzy mess of my hair. after i wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner i use the hair serum and work it into my mid lengths and ends of my hair and it really makes the difference if you hate frizzy hair. if your someone like me who loves having straight hair and have frizzy hair then i really recommend 3-day straight one you have washed your hair spray this on your hair (read instructions for more details) then bow dry your hair, straighten your hair(if you do this at night i recommend straightening it in the morning too) and it lasts till you next wash your hair so you haven't got to do the something every day it saves a lot of time not doing your hair.
The beauty products iv been loving this month have mostly been by MUA which has turned into my favourite makeup brand. iv been very into a nude lip recently and the MATT collection by MUA is amazing, this is my natural lip colour so i find this look very fattening for pale skin.iv also bought their Barely There lipstick as well as their Vintage Rouge red lipstick, for a brand which is so cheep its such good quality and lasts beautifully. iv also treated myself to a Rimmel lipstick.  iv also have fallen in love with the waterproof gel liner  by Rimmel i love this so much recently iv been doing flick eyeliner to practise for my assessment next month. I use this daily the prime and conceal palette by MAU i use the green, yellow and purple concealer to cover my blemishes, the primer to prime my eyes but the darkest concealer i use as my contour as its way too dark to be used as a concealer however the concealer (that i actually use as concealer) is amazing coverage and is really nice to apply. and my final beauty product iv used almost everyday this month is false eyelashes, i first applied them when i did my assessment at college and i needed practise at applying them so iv been practising putting them on and one set of lashes has lasted me just over a month( with cleaning) i love the look it gives my eyes, it makes me feel more awake and it also gives my eyes more of a pop which is good for any look; a natural look and a dramatic look.
Music
so if you've read my blog before you will know music is a huge part of my life and half of what I'm loving is in another post so i wont go into detail. the three albums iv been loving is Sounds Good Feels Good by 5 Seconds Of summer, Made In The AM by One Direction and Dirty Work by All Time Low. The EP iv been listening to is by KSI (the youtuber) 'KeepUP' i really like it I'm really into his sound at the minuet. The band iv fell in love with is Sleeping With Sirens i especially love their song kick me. iv found a lot of their songs are like kick me but i really like it so I'm not complaining. i also wanted to mention a up and coming boyband iv been following for a while by the name of ROADTRIP, there are 4 amazingly talented lads looking for a 5th member please go check them out on Instagram @ROADTRIP3000 for amazing covers
Books
so i haven't been reading as much as i would normally but due to college i have not read a lot.
The Good Girls Bad Boys which is on Wattpad. its a bulling story, however its not like the others iv read this is more of a story of a girl who is bullied but finds a way to let people in. which is really cute there is funny moments and very few sad moments and a lot of hoping your favourite characters get together i haven't finished it yet so I'm still hoping but by next month ill give you a new book (most likely on wattpad)
Social media
so if you don't know already i have a twitter page @p_a_pblog go say hi and give me a follow to keep up to date with what I'm doing at college and when i next post
Clothes
so in the cold months the only clothes i like to wear is my onesie i have about six and i love them all, my family find it funny to get me animals as a joke but i don't mind they keep me warm and that's all i care about.
Bloggers
my biggest inspiration for starting the blog was Chyaz who also has a youtube channel so check her out shes so good at her job she was one of the first people i subscribed to back in 2013 so your going to really love her so check her out and one of my college friends Carrie or Pearlie Pumpkin shes really amazing and a good friend of mine so please go check her out too. Once again she has a youtube channel so please check her out shes amazing and has lots of experience in blogging so check her out for really great posts 

Health
so as someone who is self-conscious about my weight and also has an eating disorder. iv tried many ways to loose weight and the best one that seems to work with me and my life style is the 5:2 diet so you eat healthy 5 days a week still eating what you normally would and the other 2 which for me is a Thursday and Sunday you eat 600 calories a day (200 per meal) i really like this diet iv been doing it for 2 months now and i really like it, it suites my lifestyle really and iv seen really good results dropping half a dress size, i find its made me look at what I'm eating on a daily basses and choose better things for me, its also made me have a better image of myself I'm starting to like my body more.

so guys a really long post today ill start to post on a more scheduled basses soon I'm still working things out balancing college work, the blog and other projects I'm doing so it will be soon

much love see you soon

what Disney tought me...

Faith, Trust and Pixie dust

hello friends,
to day I'm feeling inspired by a video by itswaypastmybedtime and I will leave the link to the video HERE so I thought I would do something similar just because I'm a huge Disney fan! so this is what Disney taught me

ill start with

 Brave: i can control my destiny, that my problems wont go away on there own, and finally that i don't need a man to complete me  (and a final one to love my mum)
  
Lilo and Stich: that we don't choose our family, yes some are a bit broken but in the end we all look out for each other

Peter Pan: never grow up, to live life to the fullest ("to live would be an awfully big adventure"), to believe no matter how old you are.
fun fact the one Disney character i would love to meet is peter pan.

Tarzan: that even thought family may not all look the same but it isn't the look of a family that makes it a family its the love of the group that makes it a family 

The Little Mermaid: how strong a women's voice is until its taken away, never change who you are to seem 'normal', don't see new things as scary but be open to them 

 Pocahontas: to be open minded, to be individual, not to let other peoples hatred to ruin any relationship you have with other people  

Beauty and the Beast: not to judge a book by its cover, don't fear the unknown, its okay to be different, you can say no to guys your not interested in, love can develop in any relationship no matter how unlikely it is

Mulan: that women can be just as strong as men, that everyone has the same rights, that we shouldn't change who we are to suite other people

Sleeping Beauty: that we have to wait for what we want  in life

so that's all from me today
much love and see you soon

MAYBELLINE BIG EYES mascara-Review

I do put on a little makeup every day because it helps me feel put together. Mascara is essential- Emma Stone

Hello again,

2 weeks ago I took a trip to one of my fave shops Superdrug and I couldn't come out without a new product to talk to you about.

 MAYBELLINE isn't a brand I would normally go for to be honest I have never been tempted by the brand before but with their BIG EYES mascara I was instantly drawn to it. With its 2 wands it was perfect to get the full effect the mascara can provide.

The first wand has a push up brush, its pushes up lashes and spreads them I found it made my lashes stick together making me have to separate them as I like the natural look. However I found that using the upper lash brush to be much better on my lower lashes to prevent clumping together. But it does make my lashes appear longer and fuller.

The second wand is described on the packet as "magnifies tiny lashes" which is completely true! I find this better to use on my upper lashes due to the fact they don't clump together and I can get to the root really nicely with this one. The only problem I have with this one is that the layers can be un-even.

 I would recommend this mascara if you want bigger looking eyes I like this feature due to the fact I apply my makeup in the morning and it gives me a more awake look which is grate for early mornings however if you like a more natural look I don't recommend this. the Superdrug customer review is 2/5 stars which isn't grate I do believe that is very harsh I would give 4/5 due to the clumping but other than that it’s a beautiful long lasting mascara

 If there is any products you want me to review or if you want to see anything else from me leave a comment

 Much love see you soon

music recomendation

music can change the world, because it can change people -bono 

music can play a huge part in peoples life. it can change peoples moods. it can make us change our views on life.

music plays a huge part in a lot of peoples life's, taking the place above family and friends. this is me. music is my biggest past time; if I'm at college in the salon music is on, if I'm in the car music is on, if I'm writing music is on, if I'm walking anywhere music is on, even when I brush my teeth music is playing.

everybody has a different taste in music. some like country, some like techno, some like pop, some like punk. theres so many different types but what you don't see is someone who only listens to one band or artist a lot of people like a bit of everything. I love punk, rap and even some country.

I kinda wanted to tell you about the new and old music iv been loving over the past few weeks.

the first I wanted to tell you about is One Direction's new album Made In The AM. I love this album, I was worried there wasn't going to be any high notes as good as Zayns and I was slightly worried it wasn't going to be as good lyrically. but boy was I wrong! Harry, Louis, Liam and Niall have outdone themselves! truly the songs have never been this catchy or this deep I personally am in love with album my favourite song will always be Diana but the boys have done amazing with this album Love You Goodbye is an amazing song as is End Of The Day I really recommend this album to anyone who hasn't got it yet and the new style the boys have put forth is phenomenal and their voices have matured so much. the one thing I love most about the album is the more solos Louis and Niall have I think their voices are not valued enough so I'm really relieved that the album is as good as I anticipated it to be.

I also wanted to tell you about 5 Seconds Of Summer's new album Sounds Good Feel Good which was released on October 23rd 2015. this was there highly anticipated album after 3 years of making and writing their first album there was only 15 months to write, record and produce a whole new album as well as 6 months away on their first world wide tour Rock Out With Your Socks Out and filming for their DVD How Did We End Up Here which is due to be released on November 20th 2015 (22nd for the UK). however with very little time they released the album. describing this album as "more personal" than the first. I'm a huge 5SOS fan so this is obvious I love it! as someone who would buy anything with their name on it I not surprised with how amazing it is but I am with how personal it is, drummer Ashton Irwin said during in an interview about the album when asked why did the band want the album so personal "self-harm, there's depression, there's anxiety. amongst everyone in our society these days and we shouldn't skip over it" however the album isn't all doom and gloom songs like Money, Permeant Vacation, Shes Kinda Hot and Hey Everybody not only are they dance songs and really catchy but some have a meaning behind them that's not seen much in the pop industry. songs like broken home and invisible have really deep meanings behind them. this new style the boys have mashed together is very cool and appealing to any new listeners. I think the thing I love about this album all of the boys Ashton, Luke, Michael and Calum have equal times to show their talents and their voices.

recently iv been going back to an old song, much like iv done for years iv known songs without knowing the artist but iv finally got it! iv been addicted to The All-American Rejects I remember my brother and parents playing them when I was younger but I never knew the band now I do iv had Gives You Hell on repeat this is such a kick ass song when your angry and when you want to take out some frustration this is perfect way to do so!

another song that's been on repeat is Victorious by Panic! At The Disco this song is a grate feel good song if you need a bit of empowerment I recommend this it makes me feel invincible when listening to it and another song by Panic! At The Disco is Emperors New Clothes this is a grate follow up of gospel and once again it gives me so much power and makes me feel a bit strong and almost scary when I'm listening or singing to it, I first watched the video around Halloween and it put me in a scary mood for Halloween so if you want to feel a bit scary

and I cant do a music post without talking about Hello by Adele so I have to say this isn't my favourite song by Adele lyrically its a beautiful song and I can see why people like it but I just cant put my finger on why I don't like it I think its just not the best song she's ever sung in my opinion its not even close I think the video is beautiful and I cant wait for Adeles come back to the music industry I hope she will release more upbeat songs like Rolling In The Deep but Hello is still beautiful I cant say I love it but its not grate I do think its very catchy and vocally I think it will be hard for anyone else to pull off like Problem by Ariana Grande it will only sound right in her voice.


these are the songs/ albums that I'm loving recently

much love see you soon
