So while at the cinema on Wednesday I decided to pop into Claires Accessories (yes that shop is still a thing) and even though I was extremely short on money I just had to get this adorable headband, even if it does make me look like a 5 year old.
Headband: Claires Accessories

On 4th April I turned 18 and I still can't believe it! I started the day off at college, thank god I finished early, and I then went to the cinema to see Divergent! I adore the books hugely, so I was beyond excited to see the film and it did not disappoint! The next day was the best part of my birthday as me and my friend Ewalyn were having a little birthday meetup in London as hers is on the 9th, so all our friends from other areas all came down to chill with us which was great. I stole Ewalyns Canon 600D for the day to vlog and take pictures with, so here's how it went.
We first went to Boba Jams to get some bubble tea and some other lovely food, I'm in LOVE with that place!
The food is beyond delicious and they aren't that expensive either. I go there every time I visit London without fail.

Selfies galore and a very pretty phone case.
These were taken at the same time. It's a picture of me taking a picture of someone taking a picture or me taking a picture of someone taking a picture.

So overall it was a super fun day out and there will be a lovely from from the day uploaded onto my second Youtube channel at some point this evening. Hope you enjoyed!

Hi everyone! My names Beth and I write the blog MissBeautyObsession. When the lovely Amy contacted me asking if I'd like to guest post on her blog, I jumped at the chance as her blog is fab! I hope you enjoy!
A couple of weeks ago I bought the Maybelline Brow Drama in Medium Brown. I've always found filling in my brows such a task and I absolutely hate it because I can never get them exactly how I want them to be. I bought this mainly because I was hoping it would make filling in my brows a little easier and it definitely does.
I'm going to start off by saying that I personally don't think this is an 'amazing product' but if you're after something natural and fairly easy to use then I highly recommend this product. The brush combs through every hair leaving a natural even finish. It's long lasting which doesn't streak, clump or flake. The domed brush and ingenious formula makes it really easy to shape and define the brows whilst enhancing their natural colour and leaving a subtle shine. It's so easy to apply and coats them lightly with a touch of colour - nothing too serious.
The only downside I find is that if you don't use it light handedly, it will go on too thick and look too much. There's quite a lot of product in the tube so I can see it lasting quite a long time, especially as you only need the smallest amount when applying to the brows. There's not many colours in the range - I think there might be around 3 so there might not be a shade for everyone which is slightly annoying.
Overall I do recommend this product. I much prefer my Soap and Glory Brow Tint but this is great for a more affordable option. I hope you enjoyed post and make sure you check out my blog as I'd love to hear from you!
Lots of Love,
Beth xxx

Hey guys, I've had a super busy week so I didn't have time to arrange a guest post for today, so I'll continue with that next week!
Now lets just say that my previous OOTD post was not just AGES ago, but also not very good. I can't promise this one will be that good either as it was taken with a very bad camera in very bad lighting. But hey, it'll do for now, right?

I hope you enjoyed this, these kind of posts scare me as I always get super self concious and things, but I'm trying to break out of that.

I've never thought about doing an Everyday Essentials post before, but my friend recommended it to me and it seemed like a fab idea, so I thought why not, I'll give it a go! So here is my first ever Everyday Essentials post!
Product 1: Toni and Guy sea salt spray
I hate having straight (ish) hair that flicks up at the very bottom, so this stuff is honestly a life saver. You just spray it in and crunch your hair up, then maybe fix it with a bit of hairspray and bam you're done!
Product 2: Avon Care Herbal fresh hand cream
I know we're coming to the end of the cold wintery months (well MEANT to be anyway. Typical English weather), but I would hate to live without this hand cream. It keeps my hands all soft and fresh and lovelyyy.
Product 3: So...? Kiss me body spray
It smells nice. It's cheap, and it makes me smell nice. That's all there is to it really!
Product 4: MA Pro-Base fixing mist
Spray this over your makeup in the day when you're maybe feeling a tad face heavy, or like your makeups melting and it feels so refreshing and fixes your makeup. I also love to use this if it's really hot or if I'm a tad sweaty.
Product 5: Primark hair grip thingy
When I'm in a rush or my hairs just annoying me I like to use this to just pin my hair back away from my face. It also looks pretty, BONUS!
Product 6: Nivea Essentials lip balms
I suffer with extremely dry lips so these are ace. They feel really smooth on my lips and stop them from feeling so dry and flaky and horrible.
I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you thought of it in the comment below and I may make another one! If there's any posts you'd like to see, you can also let me know in the comments. I hope you all have a fab week and I'll see you soon, bye!

Now I've definitely been neglecting this blog a little haven't I? Silly me. But that will change. Anyway it's the 5th January like woah how has 2014 come round so quickly?! I spent New Years Eve watching the Celebrations in London and can I just say how beautiful the fireworks were from Waterloo Bridge?! I'm not the hugest fan of crowds, my anxiety gets really bad, but however luckily they didn't bother drunk Amy.
This is the thumbnail from my New Years video on my Youtube channel
Now I'll have a post up on here in a few days explaining some really cool things that happened on the last day of 2013, but before that I think I'm going to look back at my New Years resolutions from last year.
Drink more water? Well that did NOT happen.
Dance more? Definitely no change there.
Confidence? Maybe a little, but I'm still as shy as ever.
Be more sociable? Happened a little. Still the 17 year old girl who locks herself in her room in the dark on tumblr and youtube though.
Be more adventurous? Not much change.
Well as you can see they didn't really work did they? Well, this year's a new year so why not try again?
1. Hit 1,000 Youtube subscribers .
2. Bring my book collection up to 50 books.
3. Go to Summer in the City 2014.
4. Collaborate with some more people on my Youtube channel.
5. Go see Les Mis in theatre in London.
6. Buy and learn how to play the ukulele.
7. See 2 of my favourite bands live.
8. Be more happier and more positive.
9. Start both an actual blogging schedule and a Youtube schedule. Posting every Wednesday and Sunday on my Youtube, and at least once a week on here.
10. Stand up for myself more and have more confidence.
11. Be more adventurous in my appearance and life.
12. Travel and do more things. and vlog them.
13. SAVE MONEY. (Something I'm bad at)

Christmas is coming up extremely soon and I'm so excited, it's come round so fast! Anyway, I thought I'd share with you some of the things that are on my Christmas wishlist this year, enjoy!
Mac lipstick in Ruby Woo- Now this is definitely on the top of my Christmas list, I've wanted a Mac lipstick for a while but due to the perks of being poor, I can't actually afford one! This colour's a lovely matte red and I've heard so much lovely stuff about it that I've been lusting for this shade for a while!
Nars sheer glow foundation- I've only ever really owned drugstore foundations apart from one Mac one, I've never really wanted to spend out on one, as there's so many decent drugstore ones, but I've heard so many people rave about this that it's something I just need to try.
Urban Decay Naked palette- I think pretty much every beauty lover owns this, I know the third one's out now, but I currently don't own any! So many people talk about this and how lovely it is, and it's used in so many makeup tutorials and blog posts and etc that I don't think I can live without it much longer. The colours look absolutely beautiful and I can't wait till I finally get one of these!
Sorry this is such a short post, I have a lookbook coming soon to show you, it's not the best but it was my first attempt so you can at least give me points for trying, right?
See you soon, love Amy

Now tonight (technically tomorrow if you want to be like that) at 00:31 am I'm going to go see The Hunger Games: Catching Fire as it's first released. "Thats a bit late at night Amy" you may ask, well, it is a bit late. But I dont think I can physically explain my love for this film.
You know those obsessed fangirls that read the books like 50 billion times? That can quote the whole film and half the books off by heart if you wanted them too? That sat freaking out as she waited desperately for them announce who was cast as who in the next film? Yeah well that's me. I'm pretty bad. So it was slightly obvious that I'd be seeing the first showing of this film that I physically could. I'm both nervous and excited for this film. Nervous because I'm dreading some of the scenes from the book, worried that they might let me down in some ways, and excited because I've waited so long for this film. I remember when there was like 400 odd sleeps until this and now theres none. NONE. I feel sorry for my Nan, who I'm going to see it with, as I'll be in the seat next to her dying as I see them recreate some of my favourite scenes from the book, and also some of the deaths. (SPOILERS. *cough* I don't think I'll be able to cope when Cinna dies, if they even put that in. *cough* SPOILERS)
The first film obviously wasn't as good as the book, but they never are. However they did an exceptional job at turning it into a film, and I'm only hoping this one is the same. Are any of you going to see this film, do you have any predictions or hopes for it?

My blog is a complete mess. It's been countless days since my last post and I do way too many "I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while" posts. The reason being this time because my Nans computer is broke. My fault obviously, I broke it. She can't afford a new one, I can't afford my own, so the problem forms. I am extremely sorry I haven't been posting, but I'm determined to start up again.
I've been feeling really motivated and inspired recently, so I'm determined to at least post once a week. I'll post everything from beauty reviews to film reviews, recipes to wishlists and OOTDs to just general posts.
Now instead of having this post as another "I'm sorry" post (but seriously, I really am!), I thought I'd talk about excuses. I'm full of them, I have an excuse for everything. Half of them aren't even true and don't actually make any sense, and I know a lot of other teenagers are exactly the same. When it comes to excuses we, being the weird generation we are, don't like to take the blame or responsibility for anything that happens, and in some cases excuses are good. They work, it's fine using them and it doesn't really matter, but in some situations it really would be best to just come clean rather than making up an excuse.
The excuse "my dog ate my homework" is a classic. But what if one day your dog really does eat your homework? If you're full of lies and always use excuses like that, then one day no one will believe you when you're telling the truth. As I'm typing this I can hear my Mum having a go at my dog for chewing up her gym plans and etc, as my dog eats literally anything, so it's not exactly an impossible excuse. It's kinda like the boy who cried wolf. Use excuses but only if they're genuine and needed.

So, a lot's happened since we last spoke. I have a series every Friday/Saturday about happiness, depression, self harm, anxiety and etc, I got accepted into college and last week was my first proper week. I'm studying Creative Media Level 2 at a college which is sadly about an hours travel to and from every day. The last lifestyle post I did was Emma Blackerys gig, which you can find HERE, which I went to with 2 friends Lizzie and Sharisha.
On Saturday (14th), the same Lizzie invited me to a little birthday thing she had in London. I sadly didn't get many pictures from the day but.

The day started off with everyone meeting at Waterloo, the group started off huge. We then spent most of the day in Camden town, where we lost people, some came back, some disappeared, it was all a bit confusing. As it started to get about 5ish a few of us headed to Jubilee Gardens and chilled there for a bit.
Instead of taking pictures from the day I filmed clips and put them together, the video of which is here.

So last week I wrote THIS post about a new series I'm starting, which still doesn't have a name! The first post in this series was called being happy, and this one kind of follows on that.
One thing I've found, is that when I know I've made other people smile, or done something to brighten up someone's day, it makes me feel happy and a lot better about myself. No it doesn't cause eternal happiness and make you feel better for weeks, but it does make you feel like a good person, and that you've helped someone out. The small things help just as much as the big things.
If you're feeling down, try any of these things:
-Help someone across the street
-Send a friend or someone a random text, or tweet, or facebook message saying something nice. For example "I love your hair", "You have a really nice smile", "Hope you're having a good day". Anything that you know could bring a little smile to their face, it's always nice to know someone's thinking about you.
-Compliment someone in the street
-Put post it notes up around your area, someones bound to see one, pick it up, and maybe even smile if there's a nice comment on there!
-Sometimes I like to search for people on twitter or tumblr who are feeling down, or suicidal, and be there for them. You never know, you may even save a life.
As I will say again, this won't make you happy for a long period of time, but If it helps you get through just one day and stops you from doing anything silly then it's really worth a try! If you're interested in seeing more from this series, I'll be putting a post up every Saturday about helping people through things like depression, anxiety, suicide and self harm, because as mentioned in my last post, I know it's a touchy subject, but I know how you feel. If this helps even one random person who's stumbled across my blog then it's completely worth it.
Love Amy
