8 Month Book Plan




Hey guys! So from now till April I'm gonna try and read 6 books. I've vowed to try and read at least a chapter a day. I've added up all the chapters of the books to how many days that will take and it will take up to April if I start on the 1st September. 
I've decided to do this so I get better at reading and writing as you may know I want to be a writer. (Not professional though, just as a hobby) As you might see on my Quotev page I've been trying out lots of styles of writing but my favourite is script writing as it's the easiest. At the moment I've got a teen drama series up but I'm now working on more like a series about vampires, witches and werewolfs. I've also been working on two other teen drama type stories but completely different to Another Teen Drama.
Sorry for the little self promo haha.

So yeah I'll be reading all the Gallagher girls collection for the next 8 months.

Eight "Have you ever" Tag! | Tag Tuesday

3. Have you ever been out of the country? Yes. My dad used to live in Cardiff so I always went to Wales. I've also went to Zimbabwe in 2013.

4. Have you ever done something outrageously dumb? I don't know. I would say yes because I have done lots of dumb things when I was young but not super dumb.

7. Have you ever dated someone younger than you? Nope.

Music Monthly - July 2015


Hey guys! So I've been loving a lot of music this summer and I just wanted to share some song I've loved last month. I might make this a monthly thing.


First thing I've loved this month isn't just a song but an Album by Zedd. His album true colors is just amazing. I don't hate one song out this album and I've been listening to it like 24/7 during July.


Second is Rumour Mill by Rudimental. I've been loving all of Rudimental's new songs this July and I'm probably going to be listening to them for the rest of the holidays. I also love how Anne-Marie and Will Heard collaborated in this piece.

   
These are a few of my favourites so far from Rudimental. They just keep bringing out amazing songs and I love it. I will for love is my favourite song at the moment and I just can't get it out my head.


This song is also one of my summer favourites. It has a good beat and it just makes you want to move. The vocals and the beat are just perfect. Even though deep house isn't really Calvin's thing, Disciples really makes the track amazing. 



I'm so glad Disclosure made another song with Sam Smith. I've always love Disclosure ever sing Latch came out and Sam Smith just makes these songs complete. Even though I just heard this song the other day it's been my favourite since.


Home by Rudimental is one of my favourite songs from their first album. I only heard it the other day and I was instantly in love with it. Especially the instrumental part.

I've really liked Lionhearted at the start of this month and I always listen to it now and then it's a really good song.


Last but not least, Stole the show by Kygo. This song has been my favourtie since May and I've always loved it. I still love to listen to it and I love the tropical house style.


That's it for this month and maybe I'll still be loving half these songs next month. I just can't wait till new songs come out. Summer is the best time for new songs to come out.

Hope you enjoyed!

7. What is the most embarrassing thing you can remember doing? I remember in year 3 in maths I wasn't paying attention and everyone was counting in their 10 times tables. Since there was 10 of us we had to say 1 number each and I was at the end. I didn't know what we were counting I said 20 instead of 100 and everyone was laughing. That's the only embarrassing story I remember.

8. Write something you wrote when you were in primary school. In year 5, I made this little play thing and this is a bit of it. "we were just shopping in the shopping mall.

I remember one time when me and my friends were down near the river and my friend Jenny came up to us saying she saw some ducks so we were all on a mission to find them ducks so we ran all the way through the river. Luckily the tide was out so it wasn't high. We went from one end to the other. We didn't find them ducks, sadly but it was a lot of fun trying not to fall in the water. 

12. Is there any special things you kept from when you were a child? I don't think so... I kept all my teddies from when I was a child.

13. What was something weird you did as a child? I don't really know. Maybe when we used to climb up this dirt hill. I kinda think it is weird now.

14. What's the scariest thing that happened to you when you were younger? When we were all out in the park and this guy who was my friend then said he was getting chased by these men. I don't know why we believed him and that was kinda a scary night knowing men were murdering people.

15. How is the world now different now than from when you were a child? Technology haha. I used to always be outside with my friends and now a days I usually just stay inside on my tablet or laptop.

Hope you enjoyed my little stories of my past.

Ombre nail tutorial!


Hey guys! So I wanted to do my nails but not just a normal colour so i've decided to try an ombre look. I looked on Pinterest for tutorials and all of them said I needed a make up sponge. As I don't wear makeup I didn't have any sponges. I tried looking for a pack of them in some shops but couldn't find any so I tried doing it my own way.

All I needed was:
  • Any 2 nail varnishes that work well together. I used white and mint green.
  • A bottom and top clear coat.
  • A single seat of tissue.

Firstly I added my bottom coat and then went on to add my white when it dried. I needed a couple of coats of the white because I got it from Primark and it's not really good so it took longer to dry. 
After the white tried I added the mint colour on the ends of my nails. 
Quickly after adding the mint, softly dab the tissue onto the nail, slightly smudging it. Do not smudge the top of the nail, only the middle.
Here you will find it a little weird but when you add your top coat it will look like this...


Finally taking off the nail varnish from the sides and it will look like...

Hope you guys liked this little tutorial and I will see you guys when ever I see you haha.
