loves and hates of july

j'adore:

1) the summer holidays; school has finished, work has finished, passed driving theory...now just time to sit back, relax and enjoy (fingers crossed) the sunshine.

2) wearning no blush! at the moment, i am really enjoying just using bronzer and going for the 'beachy bronze' look...(hoola bronzer is a must!)

3) spring, or in this case summer, cleaning. let's be honest, none of us love cleaning but what i do love is finding loads of stuff that i forgot i had... or stuff that i accused my sister of stealing!

4) the gym...time to get fit and toned for my holiday

5) co-ordinating colours for both fingers and toes ( i am LOVING barry m's turquoise polish in 295 at the moment!)

6) lots and lots and lots of bangles and bracelets: instantly makes me feel like i'm on holiday :)

je deteste:

1) crappy laptops that constantly break, meaning i have lost all my music and photo's...bad times!

2) exam results looming...eeeeek!

3) lack of sunshine...c'mon england, i want that heatwave back

4) finding out people aren't who you thought they were...that really sucks :(

5) running out of foundation, mascara and eyeliner, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

just a little round-up of my loves and hates of july,

hope you're all well!

Take care,

Char xox

p.s - apologies if my french is incorrect...blame google!

random case of the munchies

A really REALLY random update:

so i get in from work, tired and hungry and to my suprise my gorgeous parents had picked us up a chinese! :D

sometimes, there is nothing better than some good old fast food once in a while... what is your guilty pleasure when it comes down to junk food?

Take care,

Char ♥

p.s - i had prawn chow mein incase you were wondering...

p.p.s- i then had a bar of cadbury whole nut straight afterwards...bad times!

i have missed you guys!

hello my gorgeous readers, exams have finished which means blogging can again commence! apologies again for the lack of posts but i have so many ideas on future posts so keep tuned :)

tomorrow is the day for blogging and i will include some photo's/info on what i have been up to since being m.i.a, not including revision of course!
hope you are all looking forward to a long, relaxing summer :)

Take care,

apologies!

hello my lovelies, hope you are all well! :)

i'd just like to apologise for the lack of posts at the moment. i am in the middle of my exams at the moment, my last ones are on the 10th June, so i can't promise that i will be doing loads of posts before then! i just need to get my priorities sorted and get cracking with all this revision...so unfortunately, that means less blogging! :(

HOWEVER, after my exams i promise to be a good blogger and i already have loads of ideas for some exciting posts! :D

thankyou to all my gorgeous followers and hello to my new ones! i really appreciate you taking the time to read my blog :)

sorry again guys! (L)

take care,

Char ♥

hair story :)

my hair actually hasn't changed that drastically over the years. i mean yea, i have had layers cut in, full fringe cut in etc but the length and colour has never really changed! but i thought i would just include a few photo's to show you some of the different ways i have styled my hair over the years :)

going for the pigtail look, aged around 14 :) blonde highlights and a few layers...

many more layers and highlights later, 14 years old :) lots of straightening and backcombing.

many highlights and an awful pose! around 15, shortest my hair has ever been, straightened and messed up.
many highlights, this time some bleach ones... and the discovery of curling my hair, 15.

the same haircut but with a few darker highlights and straightened, 16 years old.

i'm now 17, nearly 18. my hair is alot longer and i haven't died it since sept, so it's quite alot darker but i'm trying to get it in good condition, so avoiding hair dye is a must! didn't really see the need for posting a photo of my hair now, as you guys can see what it looks like in my other posts :)

anyways, i hope this didn't bore you too much but i find these types of posts really interesting!

Take care my lovelies,

Char ♥

Ins & Outs!

Just something to do on a lazy sunday afternoon :)

In (L)

1) my body shop moisture foundation spf15- perfect for spring when my revlon colorstay feels too heavy

2) mac's lipgloss c-thru- looks stunning over mac's cremecup lipstick

3) topshop- their spring/summer line looks amazing... i need some of those playsuits NOW!

4) sundays- the only day in the week when i can have an offensively long lay in and not feel guilty

5) weather- sunshine is an amazing thing! i may just be wacking out my sunnies today...

6) dance- been going to alot more classes recently and am really getting serious about my auditions next year, eeeeeek!

7) nandos- what i would do for a medium chicken ceasar salad right now, yum.

Out (U)

1) sixthform- hate it with a passion, bring on the easter holidays!

2) coursework- takes up most of my life to be honest!

3) loosing my gosh darling :(

4) nosebleeds- for the past month i have been waking up with nosebleeds once or twice a week... bad times!

5) no good saturday night tele- bring back x-factor!

6) the smell of aussie three minute miracle conditioner... it honestly makes me gag and lingers on your hair for days (although it does do the trick so i'm just gonna have to grin and bare it!)

hope you all have a lovely sunday...

Char ♥
