<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">5) My fifth favourite film is 500 days of summer. It’s a fairly light-hearted film but hilarious and really comforting to watch. Zoeey Deschanel, who stars in this film, is such a comedic actress, which is apparent in New Girl (the hugely popular comedy programme). Also starring in this film, is Joseph Gordon-Levitt who is a fine actor and a superb comedian which really shines through in this film. I highly recommend you all watch this film; you won’t regret it!</span></span></div>

4) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">My next favourite film is Something borrowed, another light-hearted film but I love it so much. If you are fan of <i>She’s Just Not That Into You </i>then you’ll love this even more. Similarly to <i>She’s Just Not That Into You</i>, Ginnifer Goodwin also stars in Something Borrowed, accompanied by John Krasinski and Kate Hudson. Yes, it is just another romcom but there’s something about this film that makes it stand out from the rest. Just like the previously mentioned film, I highly recommend you watch this film also if you’re in the mood for a bit of a comforting film.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">3) My third favourite film is Shutter Island, which is definitely not a light-hearted film (I thought I should have a bit of variation in this list) but an extremely interesting film that will have you gripped from the start. Starring Leonardo Dicaprio, how could you resist? I love the plot to this film which includes such a shocking twist. Again, I really hope you choose to watch this film if you have not already.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">2) My second favourite film is one that I was very nearly tempted to put as my favourite film but then eventually opted for second place, and that is Stardust. If you have not watched this film then..well..I really have no response to that because there is no reason why you should not watch this film; it has bags and bags of humour, romance, action, magic, it’s the ideal family film. I cannot find one complaint about this film as it is one that I will never grow tired of, no matter how old i get. Including so many famous actors- Claire Danes, Ian McKellen, Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro and Sienna Miller - this is not a film to miss.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">1) And finally, my favourite film of all time has to be Titanic. Romeo and Juliet on the ship of dreams, who could have thought of a better storyline? Although this is my favourite film, I have decided that I cannot watch this more than once a year as it is so emotionally demanding, I think I would go into depression if I watched it more frequently. However, don’t let that put you off; this is a film that everyone should watch at least once in their lifetime. Titanic is definitely a classic and since it was already set in a time much before the year it was made in, this definitely makes it timeless and will watched throughout generations to come. Yes, this is another film starring Leonardo Dicaprio, but...what can I say, he’s shockingly good at what he does!!</span></div>

Now, since this blog is called "A Little Bit Of Everything", i realise that I haven't really kept to those guidelines and have now decided that I should do a bit more personal/ funny stories/ real life sort of posts.<div>
Now I wouldn't blame you if you were a bit bewildered by this title but..well, I couldn't really have thought of a better name to describe this story, so here it goes..</div>
<div>
A couple of days ago, the school year began (in August, so unfair). The beginning of a year always kicks off with endlessly writing your name and year on books and folders, finding out which sets you are in and being told which clubs you ought to participate in. Unfortunately for my year, girls hockey is compulsory so I reluctantly went to the first practise, after school, yesterday. </div>
<div>
I suppose I probably wasn't wearing the best bra for sport. It was one of those strange fiddly ones, where every strap can be taken apart, change lengths etc. It is pretty much a transformer bra. When I was playing hockey (I would just like you to know that I am literally the worst person in the world at hockey, I hate it!) I felt my right bra strap begin to loosen slightly. The back strap, which goes across my back, was coming loose as well, making the bra completely baggy and unsupportive, meaning the bra was completely and utterly useless. Eventually, my right bra strap came undone and fell out of my t-shirt (I have reason to believe that it is still somewhere on the pitch), the bra was so baggy at this point and nearly falling off me and there were still 30 minutes left of hockey to play. I was an uncomfortable mess, trying desperately to hold on to the last bit of fabric left on my chest. It was complete and utter horror but I thankfully made it through without anybody noticing.</div>
<div>

<div>
I hope you liked this post and didn't find it weird in any way.</div>

Please leave a comment if you would like me to make more posts like this.</div>

Today, I pretty much devoted the majority of the day to making these galaxy shorts (I decided to make them after watching <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuqc8bmH09Q" target="_blank">AndreasChoice's video/tutorial</a>). It did not take me so long because they are difficult to make, but because I am really really slow at..well everything to be honest and I like to take my time so that it is peaceful and perfect and not rushed but you guys are probs more skilled than me.</div>
<div>
So today I'm going to teach you how to make these:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirh83PQo8oe3vQf52UoQbcAzSaK-oHSIlJ962o48BRWETD3cHghvlSgHpWNLI0lVY_2wqiChk8aYfBcRzwiJ_nwngYiPw5QDDSqA9foLLKARlBVKhumTcAIoYMnmfTNxDLnyZFUr8Omo0z/s1600/black+jeans.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirh83PQo8oe3vQf52UoQbcAzSaK-oHSIlJ962o48BRWETD3cHghvlSgHpWNLI0lVY_2wqiChk8aYfBcRzwiJ_nwngYiPw5QDDSqA9foLLKARlBVKhumTcAIoYMnmfTNxDLnyZFUr8Omo0z/s320/black+jeans.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Into these:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyFOpuza6fMD3i5nMapgDBsOHWHVbvM0u7Mt0ZllhVwJ4F_lDEHuboTYgi0VUZgRNOgslK6FJDmVNQyPAiY7to7-krw_YzSVBBCIfzbZiNu4b6Lnm9442YOF8KrYgmFr6sb4tvqLfZyPR/s1600/galaxy+shorts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyFOpuza6fMD3i5nMapgDBsOHWHVbvM0u7Mt0ZllhVwJ4F_lDEHuboTYgi0VUZgRNOgslK6FJDmVNQyPAiY7to7-krw_YzSVBBCIfzbZiNu4b6Lnm9442YOF8KrYgmFr6sb4tvqLfZyPR/s320/galaxy+shorts.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So to start off, what you need to do is put your black jeans on and then start to mark your jeans to where you think is an appropriate length to make your shorts and then cut the shorts all the same length so that they're pretty plain and boring. Then put the shorts back on and play around a bit to make them a bit more interesting (preferably different lengths i.e shorter at the front) ut don't go too crazy. Top tip: Start off with them a bit too long because you can always make them shorter but you cannot add length to them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN5vTumqKlZX99u1uIPzcdf9asBrwWxituvDIzFVAILthBZtDlYfbCXzPrBoOe-HrN32kXpemVrD-Ijb7D_Z2ZxZ8XDE49G1R17S_q1eqAQlgs0ZI7zhJZu1ggMmShAfZggN_qLxhEMb-A/s1600/black+shorts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN5vTumqKlZX99u1uIPzcdf9asBrwWxituvDIzFVAILthBZtDlYfbCXzPrBoOe-HrN32kXpemVrD-Ijb7D_Z2ZxZ8XDE49G1R17S_q1eqAQlgs0ZI7zhJZu1ggMmShAfZggN_qLxhEMb-A/s320/black+shorts.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now once you're at this stage, go ahead and take some tweezers (or a bigger, grippy tool) to fray the end of your shorts so that they are not all boring and neat:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiesfEBE8bHL4eTPk_qX4Nu7ERq2njkkHRGrXrIFEa_R7K-ddHhJn3KSJuN0cDyufu60NhOh6cmYSI5AapooiV2lJfDsufFiO1BqMgZbe-_HFQnrPsAjWIQx0JBDcQDjdltcP0fVn-yOzec/s1600/tweezer+shorts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiesfEBE8bHL4eTPk_qX4Nu7ERq2njkkHRGrXrIFEa_R7K-ddHhJn3KSJuN0cDyufu60NhOh6cmYSI5AapooiV2lJfDsufFiO1BqMgZbe-_HFQnrPsAjWIQx0JBDcQDjdltcP0fVn-yOzec/s320/tweezer+shorts.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Keep doing that all the way round at the ends and you'll be left with a cute, frayed look:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWE3554df43f8Kbz0bxJ2e1E8UvBZmr25G-Bsj8huyA3E5W7Ul-dUxBFAcERzDEAuIKE6M4k1Xjywc5tVTcQPtGdF3vlXvDPYhf0bRknsN7yMW4dG6lGlbmjRGMZNZAuTEteODfL7bsf9/s1600/frayed+black+shorts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWE3554df43f8Kbz0bxJ2e1E8UvBZmr25G-Bsj8huyA3E5W7Ul-dUxBFAcERzDEAuIKE6M4k1Xjywc5tVTcQPtGdF3vlXvDPYhf0bRknsN7yMW4dG6lGlbmjRGMZNZAuTEteODfL7bsf9/s320/frayed+black+shorts.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now onto the more arty side of things- You will need acrylic paint in blue (maybe a few different shades of blue), white and purple (or red, to make the purple). And here is a picture of the equipment I used to make paint the shorts:</div>

So to start off, you want to randomly sponge on some patches of blue, but in a sort of controlled random style (if that makes sense):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then you want to go ahead and add some purple around (not on!) the bluey parts:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqPlYhwdwqN2BuN34U8NXvYQXFE4V41MYBm8Jc-i3Y9EayIgWwvDCWZ2smD5qv0OzRIA6B8EYPd_cPrPBBfLk9TgBdoc3kgVJXZlm_WJCVYZA4g7TrL9QIRfS1RibF_1pmNnX2X-TmKhR/s1600/black+blue+purple+shorts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqPlYhwdwqN2BuN34U8NXvYQXFE4V41MYBm8Jc-i3Y9EayIgWwvDCWZ2smD5qv0OzRIA6B8EYPd_cPrPBBfLk9TgBdoc3kgVJXZlm_WJCVYZA4g7TrL9QIRfS1RibF_1pmNnX2X-TmKhR/s320/black+blue+purple+shorts.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make sure to add different tones of each colour to give it more depth. I then added a light purple on parts of the shorts to prepare it for the start dust.. stuff I was about to add:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then went on to add some white to sort of represent the far away galaxies:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDG68-XPWXH1UDY3KetXXP47UrHxX4VsRsZdx_6rw5SatVHj4cR-yrxnQL8RE06Wr4QMwYpfnov89kOZ8KteEw1YXy-hiC5fAErIqPhPwbifDMJL1xrgY5G5C34T5GAeEUM9405VDT8xhT/s1600/black+blue+purple+whitee+shorts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDG68-XPWXH1UDY3KetXXP47UrHxX4VsRsZdx_6rw5SatVHj4cR-yrxnQL8RE06Wr4QMwYpfnov89kOZ8KteEw1YXy-hiC5fAErIqPhPwbifDMJL1xrgY5G5C34T5GAeEUM9405VDT8xhT/s320/black+blue+purple+whitee+shorts.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the tip of my sponge, I then made little discs on and around the white areas I just made to sort of represent far away planets, i suppose (I don't really know the technical words):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8lznAyaUg8YQ7zg9wB035m5OvNT2P9m_FFCtG_ZUMZSAywbjluCFBRw3wj_zOY-sx4aLYGUd7vORQb5w5ZRzmOkdiJm6iEMDTDdnZRu0J-05Ye55jjiUcUk9zOOGH0vlzy886fCGhO3J/s1600/black+disc+shorts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8lznAyaUg8YQ7zg9wB035m5OvNT2P9m_FFCtG_ZUMZSAywbjluCFBRw3wj_zOY-sx4aLYGUd7vORQb5w5ZRzmOkdiJm6iEMDTDdnZRu0J-05Ye55jjiUcUk9zOOGH0vlzy886fCGhO3J/s320/black+disc+shorts.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then using the end of my paint brush and also a cocktail sticks, i then added differently sized white dots randomly around the shorts. Personally I think this is the most magical part of the shorts painting because it really makes the galaxy you're trying to create come alive:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I hope you've had as much fun reading this as I did making this for you guys. I really hope you try this out because it's so fun and creative and they look so cool!! If you have a spair pair of black jeans or shorts and an arty sister who won't mind lending you her acrylic paints then..well it would be rude not to give this a try :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you have enjoyed and have a wonderful day:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
P.S i have really no idea what I would wear with these shorts so if you could give some suggestions in the comments below, I would really appreciate it :)</div>

Back to the point, beige is such a simple, sophisticated colour that you can hardly go wrong with it so be sure to welcome beige into your wardrobe this summer/autumn.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">My Summer Essentials:</span></div>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There are very few things irritating about summer but one thing that I find very discomfortable and that is the heat but when it is so hot, to the point where it’s sticky. This is why I think it very important to have a very good deodorant at hand and I would definitely recommend <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Mitchum-Advance-Control-Anti-Perspirant-Deodorant-Stick-Pure-Fresh_1205995/" target="_blank">Mitchum Advanced Control Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant</a>. This deodorant is generally used by dancers and people doing a lot of sport throughout the day and it is fantastic! </span></span></li>
<li style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> An essential is a good waterproof mascara. During a hot day, your face will tend to get quite moist and you will probably rub your face a lot, meaning your mascara will smudge so it is vital to have a good mascara that will not run.</span></span></li>
<li style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> It is very important to have a good cleanser during the summer as it is so easy to get spots in the summer and it really can make your skin feel dirty so it is important to treat it to a good cleanse once a day.</span></span></li>
<li style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Something that should never leave your bag is a body butter/moisturizer- I hate seeing chalky dried out skin; not only does it look bad but it is awful for your skin and promotes premature wrinkling. I would recommend the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/bath-body-care/body-moisturisers.aspx?cm_mmc=LabeliumSearch-_-Google-_-Body+Butter-_-bodyshop%20body%20butter" target="_blank">bodyshop body butters</a> and <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-The-Righteous-Butter%C2%99-Body-Butter-300ml_27858/" target="_blank">Soap & Glory Body Butter</a>.</span></span></li>
<li style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Face powder is very important for summer, because although you want that fresh, dewy look, you DO NOT want to look sweaty or oily so a light dusting of a natural face powder is a must. I would highly recommend <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/shaded/159/1343/Products/Face/Powder/Mineralize-Skinfinish-Natural/index.tmpl?cm_mmc=GoogleBase-_-ShoppingFeed-_-Face-_-Powder&77tadunit=fcb8c5d7&77tadvert=10422251319&77tkeyword=&77tentry=prod_listing_PPC" target="_blank">MAC mineralize skinfinish natural</a>.</span></span></li>
<li style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> I think that a nice cream blush is quite important in the summer. Sometimes a powder blush is just going to fall straight off your face and look sort of chalky but rubbing in a nice, smooth cream blush looks gorgeous and very natural.</span></span></li>
<li style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Lip stains are incredibly helpful all year round but could not go amiss in this list. They are so long lasting, hence “stain”, even after you eat!! That said, they are also a 2 in 1 as they can act as a blush/highlighter and do a fantastic, stunning job at this, lasting all day. I would recommend the new <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-Just-Bitten-Lip-Balm-and-Stain_1276246/" target="_blank">Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm</a>.</span></span></li>
<li style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Neutral eyeshadows are SO important in the summer. You really want to get that natural, romantic look and definitely DO NOT over do your makeup with any thick black eyeliner!!! That is something to certainly stay away from!! Too faced have a gorgeous <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Too-Faced-Natural-Eyes-Kit_998703/" target="_blank">natural palette</a> and you cannot go wrong with either <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123932979199_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EBeauty" target="_blank">Urban Decay’s Naked 1</a> or <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123932010699_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EBeauty" target="_blank">Naked 2 palette</a>. I think one or the other are essentials for the summer!!!</span></span></li>

Hi everyone :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, I really wanted to make use of my high low shell pink skirt I seem to have neglected. It's such a gorgeous feminine skirt and I feel so girly wearing it, with it's cute, flowing material. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since it is quite an intricate skirt, I thought I would keep things simple with a plain white vest and then add some nice jewellery, so as not to make it look <u>too</u> simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The skirt already came with a thin gold chain/belt so to keep with the gold theme, I paired the outfit with a gold ring and a gold necklace as shown below:</div>

So here are a few pictures of the purple eye make up look I did yesterday to match my gorgeous fake nails mentioned in the previous post. I really just wanted to do something cute and sort of princess-y yet not too overpowering and this is the look I ended up with. Purple is such a great colour to go with, when in doubt, because it goes with all skin tones, eye colours, hair colours and so on. I really don't think you can go wrong with purple. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As it may be a tad difficult for me to describe, in detail, how you can achieve this look, I am going to send you to a youtube video (not by myself) which is so helpful and is what I used as a guideline to help me achieve this look. So go and watch that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8rftRL4H5g" target="_blank">here</a>; it is very useful and I hope you enjoy :)</div>

I have always LOVED fake nails. I think that they are so feminine so a few days ago, I bought these gorgeous purple fake nails over <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/" target="_blank">eBay</a>. eBay is actually really great for little things like this and if you would like, you can purchase these beautiful nails <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350560490018?var=620049153180&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1615wt_754" target="_blank">here</a>. The nails are really great quality, great pricing and I have had a lot of fun wearing them. Purple is a really great, girly colour and it goes with so many outfits and make up looks. I should, shortly, be posting a "make up of the day" post to go with these nails so definitely go and check that out.</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I feel I need to do quite a bit of explaining for my noticeable absence recently. Instead of going through endless excuses for why i could not post in the past...three months has it been? Wow, I really have been lazy and all I can do is apologies. I really am sorry and will hopefully be able to make it up to you in the next few weeks as I will be incredibly bored (rather ironic, as I have been constantly busy for the past few months). I have also been working on a few little ideas for my blog; just a few posts which I can do and to start it off-Confidence! This is a pretty lengthy piece of writing, with nothing to do with beauty and cosmetics or clothing (which I normally post about) but I really hope you read on anyway.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So this year, for our holiday, we went to Center Parcs (haha) which was a lot better than I had anticipated actually. I suppose I have never been considered a very confident person; a rather shy, self-conscious person actually. This is something that bothers me a lot, because it’s really difficult to just get confidence like some (very fortunate) people who naturally have confidence. I think when people first meet me they cast me aside as a not very talkative, maybe even quite boring person which really isn’t true. I think I can actually be quite interesting and possibly quite funny when I get to know people and let my guard down. The reason I am not very loud is because I don’t like to ram my personality down other’s throats. I believe the less you reveal, the more people wonder and that has kind of been the sort of philosophy I have been trying to live my life by. Anyway (side-tracking a little here) in the past few weeks I have felt more on show (in a good way) then ever before. More people suddenly started to notice me, mainly in Center Parcs, and it really did give me such a confidence boost; something that I’d really been needing. I do not want to come across as cocky because the truth is...I’ve never really...ever been noticed before in my life and that’s why I feel it’s ok to be really happy about it now. Someone actually asked for my number a few days ago whilst swimming around, and I felt more attractive then..well..ever and I’m actually quite happy to admit that. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So, I suppose the real point of me sharing this story with you is not because I want to brag about something nice that happened to me for once but to remind you all of the inner-confidence that I am sure lies within you somewhere. I really hope that there are people like me out there, who sometimes struggle to be the loud one in a classroom and constantly worry about what they look like because I want to remind you that you are not alone. And one way that might help bring out some sort of confidence in you is to think about a time in your life when it was all about you. A time when people were only looking at you for all the right reasons. Maybe you grabbed a guys attention or you made someone proud of you or you just did something to get you noticed; just think about the happiest, most memorable time that made you feel so good about yourself: your looks, personality, everything. I hope that maybe by thinking about this, you will try to make yourself believe that you have all reason to be confident because when you let your confident side free, people really will be drawn to you :)</span></span></div>TimeForTeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06511006288328921202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360811055300255394.post-60267523975375095072012-05-24T12:44:00.001-07:002012-05-24T12:44:33.359-07:00The Sunshine AwardHi everyone,<br />

<b>9 Things About Myself:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. I cannot live without my watch! I honestly do not think I could go a day without knowing the time. I don't really care for expensive watches, just a crappy digital watch is good for me (although a pretty one would be nice).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I probably should wear glasses all the time but I don't because I think they make me look bad :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. People sometimes think I'm giving them an evil stare but that's just because I squint a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. I'm constantly stuffing tactics into my mouth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. I go to dance with my friends even though I'm crap because I enjoy it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. I worry about dying alone (which is so stupid because I'm a young teenager)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. I'm quite shy but try to talk to people I don't know and push myself out of my comfort zone a little bit to hopefully stop this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and sometimes get myself into fixed routines, but I hate the idea of having a routined lifestyle so try to break my routines as much as possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. I sometimes try to be rebellious so that I will have interesting stories to tell people when I am older but every time I try to rebel, I fail miserably. </div>

Today I just wanted to do a quick post of some of my favourite clothing items lately. I have selected a few items that I really hope you will like and will give you a few ideas when you go shopping :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I chose the mint green sheer shirt because I love pastels this season and mint green is probably king of the pastels so this shirt really stood out for me. I think it would definitely complete an outfit and add a feminine touch with the softness of the colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The high low/ asymmetric skirt from lipsy could not go amiss in this post. I love high low skirts and sadly have not purchased one for myself so far as I still cannot find one that has suited me but i particularly like this skirt as it is nude which will make it incredibly wearable and tone down a look that may have otherwise looked a bit too dressed up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love the River Island embellished top. This look is very on trend and it saves you the trouble of having to think about which accessories would complement the look best as its complex patterns finish off the look for itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The topshop shirt/ top is so perfect and sweet. I love the cute collar detailing and the sweet bow. This also saves you any extra accessorising as it is so cute on its own.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, I really love the topshop shorts, they're so cute, with one half of the shorts denim and the other with crochet detailing on. I think it could really complete a look. As so many of the shorts I see today are so plain and sometimes boring, I think this is really nice without being too daring to wear.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank you for reading and I hope this has helped :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
P.S sorry for the pretty bad placement of pictures, I'll try to place them better next time :P</div>TimeForTeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06511006288328921202noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360811055300255394.post-71528592881543556742012-05-13T04:01:00.001-07:002012-05-13T14:05:56.657-07:0050 followers!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi everyone,<br />
I have recently reached 50 followers and I want to say thank you so much to everyone for leaving such lovely comments and being so sweet. I love posting on blogger because everyone on here is so lovely and I have yet to come across someone who is not. Please keep up the support and sweet comments that you leave to people on here because it makes it such a nice place to blog and that is the reason I love it so much. You all have made it so enjoyable to blog for you and to share some of my tips and general gibber gabber with.<br />
I am really sorry that I haven't posted in ages. I have been so busy recently and I know that this isn't a great excuse but I have been and I am really sorry. Fortunately though, I will have a lot more free time in one week so be sure to look out for some new posts from me by then but for now I will not have any time to post.<br />
<br />
Thank you everyone and enjoy your day :)TimeForTeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06511006288328921202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360811055300255394.post-78212663308578891612012-05-01T09:40:00.000-07:002012-05-01T09:40:03.643-07:00March and April Favourites<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Hi everyone, it's been two months since my last Favourites post so I thought since it is May 1st today I would write up a quick list of my favourite beauty Favourites over the past couple of months, so lets get to it:<br />
1) My first beauty favourite is <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Beauty/Skincare/Body-area/Bodycare/The-Beauty-Boutique/Soap-Glory/?cm_mmc=bmm-_-Google-_-Beauty-_-Skincare" target="_blank">Soap and Glory</a>'s Righteous Butter. I love this product, it is one of the loveliest smelling moisturiser I have ever smelt. Especially when the weather is starting to warm up, you are going to frequently be in need of a good moisturiser and this is the one that I am always reaching for when in need so definitely check it out when you get the chance. <br />
2) My second favourite is a revlon Lip Butter, in the shade Creme Brulee. I mentioned these lip butters in a <a href="http://timefortea123.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/mini-haul.html" target="_blank">previous post</a> and I really like them but this shade has to be my favourite as it is the most wearable with its natural, nude colour. It looks as if you are not wearing any lipstick but your lips simply look healthier, fuller and nicer. I think this shade would suit any complexion and another product definitely worth looking out for.<br />
3) My next favourite is another product from the Soap and Glory range: Mist You Madly Fragrant Body Spray. I absolutely love this fragrance, there are so many great things to say about it but I will try to condense them into a few sentences. The best way I can describe this fragrance is that it is a mix between a body spray and a perfume but it is one of the loveliest smells, gentle but still pretty distinct. It is very reasonably priced as well and yet another product all should keep an eye peeled for.<br />
4) My final favourite product is grey eyeliner. This isn't really a favourite as I am not mentioning a brand however, the favourite is the look that it gives. The grey eyeliner that I use is <a href="http://rimmel.rimmellondon.com/landingpage" target="_blank">Rimmel</a>'s soft kohl kajal eye liner pencil in stormy grey. It is not a great product and I would not recommend it to people because it does not last very long and is not highly pigmented, however I would definitely recommend this look to fair skinned, blonde people in particular. As a blonde, I cannot wear black eyeliner as it looks too heavy and slightly ridiculous on my face however, grey works perfectly. From afar, grey looks black but does not have the harsh look that black usually gives. It beautifully frames blue eyes also and I would recommend wearing it on the waterline if you are going to wear it because it looks best when used in this way. I may even do a post about this in the near future but for the time being, I highly recommend this look and hope that some of you will try it out :)<br />
<br />
I hope that this post has helped and given you all a few ideas of what to buy or what looks to try out,<br />
Thank you :)TimeForTeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06511006288328921202noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360811055300255394.post-10795025847926964892012-04-21T09:18:00.002-07:002012-04-22T06:25:05.315-07:00OOTD: Cinema<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am so sorry that I have not posted in a while. I feel really bad and I hope that none of you have lost interest in my posts because of this. I have been tied up with quite a lot of things recently and I know that this is not a good enough excuse but I hope that all of you will understand and not lose interest in my posts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So for today, I decided it might be quite fun to do another OOTD. This is the outfit I wore about a week ago to the cinema to watch Titanic as it was the 100th anniversary. I love Titanic; it is one of my all time favourite films. I am not much of a cryer when it comes to films but this is the only film that makes me cry every time, possibly because Leonardo Dicaprio is so gorgeous and I cannot bare to see him die haha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like this look because it is pretty sophisticated whilst being relaxed as I have paired it with a cardigan and jeans. I love the River Island bag as it has a lot of the colours that match the colours of the clothes I am wearing. It is a pretty basic look but that is what I love about it because you do not want to wear something too complicated and confusing on the eye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also really love the heels! The colours of the shoes also match the outfit and I really love the contrast between black and white, finished off with a bow to add a girly touch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you liked my little ensemble. If you have any recommendations or ideas for future posts which you would like me to write about, I would love to hear them :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thank you :)</div>

So without further ado and in no particular order, here are my favourite programmes:<br />
1) 90210- I had to include this as it is most definitely one of my favourite programmes. I do not care much for soaps, especially English soaps, but I must admit I do quite enjoy the odd American soap and 90210 is definitely worth watching. I think it has the sort of gossip that anyone would wish they had at their school. It is on 4OD every Tuesday I think, so please go ahead and check that out :)<br />
2) Cougar town- I LOVE this programme! Please watch this programme because I absolutely love this style of comedy. If there is anyone out there, any of my followers, who would quite like to get to know me, then please watch at least one episode of this because this is my sense of humour is very similar to this style of comedy. Each programme is only around 20 minutes long and it's just a very relaxing programme to watch and for all of those Courtney Cox fans out there, you will love this :)<br />
3) Modern Family- I am not sure if there is one person who cannot relate to any of these families in this programme. It is a hilarious programme that will no doubt have you saying 'that is so like my family'. I really love this programme, it is yet again another relaxing thing to be watching on the television and I would highly recommend watching at least one of these episodes. <br />
4) Hot In Cleveland- I really love this programme, it is about three middle-aged women who move to Cleveland after having lived in LA. It is yet another relaxing programme to watch (notice a pattern a occurring?) and it really is hilarious.<br />
5) The middle- This is about a pretty average American family whose problems are a little ridiculous at times but make you feel better about the tiny things you fret over. Sue Heck is my favourite character (which may confuse those of you who haven't watched this programme) as she is such a positive person even though she is constantly and hilariously put down by others and in some ways I really do aspire to be like her.<br />
6) Miranda- My final favourite programme I am going to mention today is Miranda, the only british programme mentioned. I love british humour, it is undoubtedly my favourite type of humour and this programme is such a great representation of that. I also think 'An Idiot Abroad' gives a great representation of what we are like as well. I know there aren't very few decent british programmes and if there are any people abroad, wondering what the English are like then please watch this and erase the perfect, well-spoken, tea drinking (although I do love tea) image of us from your mind :P<br />
<br />
Well, these are all my favourite programmes and I really do hope some of you will give them a watch and please comment if you enjoyed them, it would make my day :)<br />
What are your favourite programmes?<br />
<br />
<br />

When I went up to the till to buy this item, luck would have it that all jewellery items were on a buy-one-get-one-free deal that I happened to have missed the sign for. So I ran down the stairs to grab this and it really was a very lucky bargain :) I love these earrings.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, onto cosmetics, I have been eyeing up the new Maybelline Primer for quite sometime. Ever since I received a few samples of this after ordering a few things online, I have been desperate to get it. It is quite mattifying, which probably isn't best for someone with dry skin like me, but miraculously it seems to still work wonders. It gives a very healthy glow to all skin types, making your skin so soft and smooth. Personally, I do not think you would even have to wear foundation or a tinted moisturiser with this, it would probably do your skin some good just to wear this on its own. Although it is only 7ml worth of product, a little really does go a long way and I think it would last you a fairly long time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So the final products I am listing today, and definitely the most exciting ones are of course the Revlon Lip Butters. For those of you who live in America, you are probably bored of hearing about these, but for us Brits it is terribly exciting as they have only just been released! I only bought these two days ago and I already LOVE them! The colours I bought (Strawberry Shortcake, Peach Parfait and Creme Brûlée) are so perfect for Spring and Summer. I have a fairly pale complexion but I think they will work on nearly all complexions. I love that these lip products are so moisturising, you do not need to prepare your lips at all! They look so beautiful for all occasions. One of the things I love the most about them is that although they are all pretty pigmented, they all seem to look so natural and definitely not overdone. All-in-all they are fantastic products!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If any of you would like me to do a full review on the Revlon Lip Butters (swatches and all) please leave a comment and I would be very happy to do so.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As Easter is just around the corner, I decided to decorate my nails for the occasion. The great thing about Easter nail designs is that it's okay for the design to be a little messy. The childish sort of look is the look you want for this occasion. I only used 3 nail polish colours to create this look: a mint green, a white and a lilac (and of course a top coat). I probably would have used a pale yellow if I had one available to me but unfortunately I did not so I just had to make do with those that were available to me. To create this look, you really can just play around with any colours and any cute design and I'm sure it will turn out great! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What I also love about Easter nail designs is that they almost always consist of pastel colours which happen to be very in this Spring.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I couldn't forget that this is the holiday for chocolate eggs and cupcakes and all sorts of yummy treats. As my sister and I were baking a few cupcakes yesterday, I couldn't resist but include one of them in one of the pictures :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing Easter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today I used another nail polish from the Max Factor Mini Nail Polish range. This was the first of their nail polishes that I have purchased and my favourite nail polish EVER. The picture really does not do it justice. In some lights, it is a gorgeous greeny turquoise and in others it is a beautiful dazzling blue (hence the name, 'Dazzling Blue'). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I named this post 'Mermaid NOTD' because it reminded me of the sea at its best, and it may sound a bit silly but it also reminded me of a mermaid's tail. This really is such a stunning colour and at £3.99 from <a href="http://www.boots.com/" target="_blank">Boots</a>, it really is a steal. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you are a regular reader of my blog then you may know that I love the Max Factor Mini Nail Polishes and intend to do a review on the range at some point. Another of their nail polishes is 'Chilled Lilac' which I also love, and is perfect for Spring which you can check out <a href="http://timefortea123.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/first-notd.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>TimeForTeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06511006288328921202noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360811055300255394.post-64177083355921106982012-04-01T07:07:00.000-07:002012-04-01T07:07:35.931-07:00Garnier Gradual Tanning Lotion Review<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div>So I have started using this Garnier gradual fake tanning lotion in light sun-kissed look instead of deep because I was worried about looking orange. The after shot was taken after 7 days of daily use after the before shot. I hope you have noticed some difference. It is very difficult to show you an exact colour of something with a camera but I personally do quite like the sun-kissed look it gives. You do not have to use very much to cover your whole leg, it never streaks (or has not so far, at least) and it is a pretty cheap product (I bought it for £5.06 at Superdrug, but it is now half price, at £2.53 AND <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/" target="_blank">Superdrug</a> are having free delivery on all orders at the moment so go check that out NOW). Because it is a gradual tanner, it is mostly moisturiser and so will not stain anything. </div><div>Personally, I do not think it smells bad which is definitely something to mention as a lot of these fake tanning products smell awful. This product doesn't smell great but it doesn't smell as bad as some of these types of products and the smell nearly completely wears off throughout the day. It smells a little fruity as it has extract of apricot, which is a nice touch.</div><div>All in all, I think this is a great product to invest in, especially for those of you who are new to the world of fake tanning and do not want to try out anything difficult to use or that might go wrong.</div><div>If I have missed anything out (which I probably have) or you just want to ask a question, don't hesitate to leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as I can.</div><div>Thank you :)</div><div><br />

</tbody></table>I really love this Spring outfit. It is so colourful and relaxed and could be worn on so many occasions. I'm sorry I have just copied and pasted pictures instead of actually wearing this outfit but unfortunately I do not own enough of these sorts of items to show you. Hopefully, I will soon buy some of these items and at some point do an OOTD similar to this. The scarf is a very key item in this outfit. I think Spring scarfs will be very popular this season and I hope they are because they really liven up an outfit meaning you can pair them with a simple top and shorts like in this outfit. <br />
I really love the wedges as well. They are great for Spring and Summer as they lengthen your legs and put them on display, showing off a beautiful tan if you have one. Big, bulky, colourful bangles are great for this season as well and are a must-have accessory. <br />
I specifically chose a vest from <a href="http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreView?storeId=19659&catalogId=11558&langId=-1" target="_blank">Hollister</a> for this look because they are known to have simple but beautiful, feminine tops. Most of their tops and vests have pretty detailing like this one.<br />
As you can see a lot of these items are from New Look. I love New Look because their items are great quality and very reasonably priced. <a href="http://www.newlook.com/" target="_blank">New Look</a> have a free delivery offer on just for today! So be sure to check that out :)<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great day,<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today has been another beautiful, sunny day for those in the South West and I decided to brighten up my nail polish as well to match the gorgeous weather. Recently I have been wearing a lot of autumnal nail polishes which really are gorgeous but the complete wrong season to be wearing them. I just bought this nail polish a few days ago, it is a matte, light lilac colour and I love it! I really love the pastel theme this Spring and want to make the most of it so there is no doubt that I will be reaching for this nail polish quite often in its lifetime. This is a Maxfactor nail polish and incase you cannot read what is written on the packaging, it says: MaxFacor, Max Effect, Mini Nail Polish and it is in the shade "Chilled Lilac". I must remind myself to do a review on these nail polishes at some point. I have bought five in the past couple of weeks and cannot fault them. They retail at £3.99 and they are on 3 for 2 at <a href="http://www.boots.com/" target="_blank">Boots</a> at the moment so be sure to pick a few up when you next see them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Just as a quick side note, I will hopefully be doing a gradual fake tan lotion review by the end of this week if any of you are interested. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope you all have had a lovely day so far,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you :)</div>TimeForTeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06511006288328921202noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360811055300255394.post-75551704104995661882012-03-26T05:29:00.000-07:002012-03-26T05:29:12.277-07:00Experimenting with hennaSo a few days ago, I let my friend do a henna tattoo on me. It was just a bit of fun really. I asked her what she was good at drawing and she said a snail so I said that would be a cool henna tattoo. And obviously it went a bit wrong. Here is the end result:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm not sure if you can see that so well, it has faded over the past couple of days.

They make your skin glow and save you money on your full coverage foundations. Try to steer clear of any foundations that are heavy. You’ll need to reach for your moisturisers a lot this season. Tinted moisturisers or bb creams are great products, also. I think you could even wear a skin primer on it’s own to achieve this appearance. This fresh, dewy look looks great when accompanied with a nice highlighter and remember to steer clear of any mattifying products.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br />

Play around with your neglected vibrant eyeshadows. Who knows, you might actually end up discovering a beautiful looks that really suits you. For those of you who do not want to be as adventurous with the eyeshadow palette, why not try splashing a bit of colour on your lower lash line instead of your eyelids. This way the look is not so intense but still makes someone look twice at a subtle colour which complements your eyes to make them pop. </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br />

</div><div>I really like high waisted shorts because they are very slimming and figure-hugging, not to mention they beautifully extend your legs, giving you a more model-esque figure.
