As most of you may know I am a major film buff, and yes my speciality is mostly behind the scenes but I do love finding new actors to admire and the celebrity world is full of rising stars. Among these is actress Melissa Bolona who has taken Hollywood by storm. Here is what you need to know about this amazing new face in Hollywood:
Beauty and makeup reviews are something I never do enough of, I'm just still quite a newbie when it comes to writing about them and I need to get used to it and suck it up. I've been collecting so many products over the last few months I have enough to make this blog review heaven. This palette has been in my collection for quite a while now, a lot of people used to refer to it as an Urban Decay Naked Palette dupe and to be fair I can see the resemblance, but as someone who's not used a Naked Palette in literally years I can't compare the similarities myself, which is a tad annoying. I'm a bit of an eyeshadow addict, if you click on my beauty section which you can find HERE most of my makeup reviews so far have been of eyeshadow palettes, pretty sure I even did 3 in a row once (although don't worry lads, I'm almost out of different ones to review, you'll all probably be glad to hear). This product retails at around £5, which compared to most makeup I own is rather cheap.

A few of you have noticed lately that my blog (and social medias) have been all over the place, I tweeted a few weeks ago that my boyfriend and I broke up and a few of you assumed it may be related to that (how right you guys were). I've needed a bit of time to sort myself out, clear my head and focus on myself. When the whole breakup happened my friend Laura gave me a bit of advice, that focusing on my career is what's most important, and honestly she's right. I let this blog go downhill over a guy, but this little place on the internet will always be and should always be my number one priority. It's what I love doing, it's helping me build my skills and it's kind of a part of me, so the fact that I considered giving that up for a guy is just plain outrageous. This post is half an apology and half a letter to those of you with guy problems or struggling to get over ex's. What I share here really helped me get over what happened to me and hopefully it may help some of you..
I'm going to start this post off with a little story time, I mean why not? When I was in school we were all given a laptop, as a complete computer nerd I was pretty happy with that, however it didn't last long. Every other month I'd have to take it into computer tech because I messed it up, I didn't mean to but it just kinda happened. I was prone to getting some weird viruses on my laptops pretty much all the time and it meant I went through a fair few. To say my parents weren't happy was an understatement, even as I'm typing this I struggled to convince my Dad to let me use his computer to blog since somehow a virus has wormed it's way onto his computer, although can I just say it 100% wasn't me this time (although I am getting the blame, damn it). As I've grown up I've learnt a lot about protecting a computer from virus's and the best one to use in my opinion is www.AVG.com, my Dad has used this since the old complaining at me days and even now he's making me pause writing this to use it to try and sort his computer out.
The sun has been shining and it has actually felt quite warm, maybe we're just being optimistic about the weather, but summer is definitely on its way, on paper at least. So that means the garden needs to be summer ready, because even if the sun doesn't put its hat on, we can at least have an outdoor space fit for a king if it does decide to show up and to be honest we never know when it will so here are a few tips for getting your garden summer ready.
Getting out of your comfort zone is something a lot of people struggle with, me included. There's something very cosy about staying within your own circle, no matter how small it may be, it's safe and it's somewhere not many people are keen on getting out of. It's something we always get told to do and boy it isn't easy, but is it a good idea? Yes. To experience life to the fullest you can't just settle for what's easiest, you'll never learn new things or have new exciting experiences to brag about, safe is not exciting. This is something I've been trying to do a lot lately and I won't lie, it's scary. It's scary as hell, but where does living in fear get you? The answer is nowhere, you can miss out on so much that life has to offer just because you may be scared. I always hear people saying "I want to do this" and "I want to do that" but they never do out of the fear of being out of their little comfort safety net. Once you're out of it, it only gets easier and trust me it is so worth it.
Actual beauty products are something I lack using, I own a lot and I love buying them, but when it comes to actually using them I just get way too lazy and never bother half the time. They end up sitting on my dresser collecting dust, which is why I've had a kick up the ass and decided to go through and use some of the products I own. I've had this Soap & Glory butter for literally ever, I don't know why I've never used it when I love the brand as a whole but it's been untouched for a long time. I've been using this butter for over a month now and I like to think I've trialled it enough to give you some of my thoughts and opinions on it, so enjoy.
I've had such a busy week and a half, I've spent a lot of time with my boyfriend and I managed to score two trial days at an Insurance company who will hopefully get back to me and give me the job. Hopefully anyway. My 21st birthday is quickly looming and tomorrow I'll be a proper adult, I'm both excited and dreading it at the same time. Sleep is something I've never been good at, I love it a lot don't get me wrong but I find it so hard to actually be able to do. As soon as I lay down my brain just goes crazy and I can lay there for hours and not get a single second of it. I've always been looking out for tips on getting a better nights shut eye but not much ever seems to work, so the fact that I'm trying to sort my sleeping pattern out now isn't going as well as I'd hoped. When I do happen to actually sleep I still never get a good night. I suffer from sleep paralysis way too often and it causes the quality of the sleep I get to be plain out awful.
If you've been a regular reader of my blog for a while then you will know my love for stationery. I'm like a One Direction fangirl but for notebooks and pens and all things organisation (is that weird? Hmm). I love everything that gives me the illusion I've got my life together, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. I make lists 24/7, I love writing things out and I'm a sucker for pretty books. I recently discovered a brand called Ella Iconic and they kindly sent me this CEO of my own life planner and boy this planner is HUGE but it's so cute it makes me melt, talk about aesthetically pleasing. The brand itself sell all kinds of stationery and I feel like I may have to go on a splurging spree on there soon since I love the look of everything so much.
My hair is something I've never really took much care of, I've never found it important. However in recent months I finally realised just how important it is to look after your hair the way you would any other part of your body and I feel like a new woman. Well, a new woman with the determination to sort the mess on top of her head out that is. I currently have split ends up to my ears, hair more dead than Dobby (Ouch.. sorry guys) and it just needs sorting out asap, so when Brodie and Stone offered to send me their coconut water hair care range I was over the moon. This review is solely based on the weightless hair oil, however I will be doing another review soon on the shampoo and conditioner when I've managed to trial them out enough to be able to talk about them. I've been super excited to use this and it's become a regular product in my routine, so I thought I'd share my thoughts with you guys.
Green tea isn't something I ever used to like, I remember when I tried my first cup it actually made me feel kinda sick and I decided that I hated it. Well and truly hated it. However hearing about the health benefits made me force myself to drink it and after a while the unthinkable happened... I actually started to like it. Fast forward to a few years later I now drink a cup every morning when I wake up without fail just because, well, I need to. And I love it! I've noticed that a lot of my friends have had a similar reaction when it comes to green tea, it just takes quite a while to get used to I suppose, but when T Plus Drinks offered to send me a few samples of their teas I had to do a little happy dance at getting to try more types of green tea, I just can't live without it.
