Skin Saviour!

As an ordinary 18 year old girl, its normal to have problem skin. I don't have serious achene but i do get stages of break outs, which of course no one wants.

I have tried my fair share of blemish preventing products in my time and haven't come to a single product that my skin needs! I have combination type skin so sometimes finding products that tackle my oily t-zone but are still gentle on my dry areas can be tough...Until I made a break through...

I don't know if I'm just being really naive or are just late on the band waggon but i haven't seen this product in any blogger or youtubers skin routines..

Witch Hazel..or as i call it - life saviour. 

After trying a serious amount of drugstore and high street skin products such as clean and clear or Clearasil products, I went to a pharmacy knowing that they would truly understand my skin and would be able to give me a product which does what it says on the tin.

Witch Hazel is a liquid form which i use on a cotton pad instead of a liquid cleanser and wipe all over my face. Instantly, i found this automatically helped the healing process of my skin and prevented my skin from getting worse again. Once i finished my first bottle which lasted me about 2 -3 months, i experimented to see if the Witch Hazel was actually helping or it was just a coincidence that my skin was behaving and used another cleanser... My skin automatically deteriorated and went back to how it was.

Would defiantly recommend it to combination - oily skin type as it can be quiet drying if you have overall dry skin but as i have combination skin, it balances my oils out!

Here in the UK its sold in most Pharmacies or supermarkets as i have spotted it in my local large Asda and retails for about £2.50 -£3 depending on where you buy it.

I believe this stuff really is made by Witches because it is truly magic!

My Summer: V FESTIVAL

After returning from seeing my family in the beautiful peak district i returned home in Surrey in the south of England, after working a few days i was soon greeted with the exciting prospect of V FESTIVAL! For those who don't know, V Festival is a music festival hosted by the company Virgin Media and is very popular with celebrities such as Ed Sheeran, the Geordie shore cast and members of ONE DIRECTION! 

Still having fun in the rain

I can safely say that V Festival was the best and worst experience of my life all rolled into one. Usually the Festival goes on for a weekend and people camp close by for the weekend. Me and a friend didn't fancy camping so we bought a Saturday ticket and a hotel for the night and i'm sooo glad i only went for the day. I got to see so many acts i wanted to see such as Labyrinth, Beyonce, The Script, Connor Maynard, Katy B and bumping into the Geordie Shore cast (but no Niall Horan :(). However, the festival is hosted in a large park but was jam packed with around 300,000 people which made it hard to move round and difficult to go to the loo. Also the park constantly smelt of drugs and you would get the odd drunk person making inappropriate comment, but i would defiantly recommend it to anyone thinking of going next year because it is an experience you will never forget and the majority is so much fun! If you are thinking of going, a small dis-calmer  don't buy jelly off anyone. I bought Jelly, thinking it was only jelly. Yet once it passed my lips i automatically spat it out, instead of water, the people selling it used pure vodka which was gross but i survived. 

All kitted out in our festival gear

My Summer: Peak District

After the exciting day of stalking Harry Styles, me and my family (which make up of me, my dad, my step mum, and my three young brothers - Kieran, 14, William, 2 and Finn, 6 months) headed to the peak district. For those who dont live in England and don't know what or where the peak district is, it is a national park based in the north of England! 

The Peak District is a beautiful place, surrounded by rolling hills and cows it provides breathtaking views for miles on end. As me and my brother Kieran, both live with my mum in the south of England and my other brothers and my dad and step mum live in Saudi Arabia, it was nice for us all to see a different part of the world!

Also as my youngest brothers, Will and Finn both have never seen cows before, it was an extra special trip as Will was absolutely fascinated by the Mooing four legged creatures!

Sunset Selfie!

William with the "Moo's"

I couldn't have asked for my summer to start off in a better way as i was surrounded by my loved ones who i don't often see and beautiful weather and scenery. I even managed to sneak in a cheeky selfie or two whilst i was there!

If you ever get the chance to visit the peak district, please do! Its a beautiful part of the world and you wont regret it!

Friendship issues

I currently stand at 0 followers. So this a going just an experiment  which I don't think ill get much feedback from. But I have some issues which i need an opinion from people outside the issue. 

I recently went out for dinner with a couple of friends, 5 friends including me to be exact. I was going to invite another friend, for whom we will call "sue" for the purpose of this post. Yet I knew that sue was busy with her boyfriend on the day that we were all going out to dinner. I was going to invite sue just for the sake of it but then another friend decided she was going to drive is all there in her 5 seater car. Therefore if I invited sue she couldn't come due to the car size, so I decided to not mention anything to sue as i knew she would be busy and say no anyway and even if she said yes she couldn't fit in the car. Earlier on in the same day that i was going to dinner sue asked me if i was going to a party that everyone was invited too but i could'nt go because in was going to dinner. Sue asked me if i was going and i said no, she asked why and i said i was busy and didnt mention anything more to save her feelings. In the middle of dinner, sue text me and was upset and called me a lier because i didn't invite her as she found out where I was from others at the party she was at.  Am I in the wrong for not inviting a close friend? Even though I knew she was busy. I feel so guilty.

My First Post

My first blog post...what to write? I made this blog as an impulsive decision, as a project over the summer, to actually show emotion and express how i feel in different situations. My friends blame me for being heartless as i claim i would rather a pot noodle over flowers and as i cant deal public affection. This is my way to prove them wrong, to one day hopefully show them that i don't a black pit instead of a heart. This is the blog main purpose. I've always loved YouTube and would love that to be my career, however i don't believe i have the confidence to put myself out there on an extremely popular website where my content could be found by my class mates within a week or so, this is another purpose for this blog. So i can put myself out there, without fully putting myself out there. In a way that gives me more time to keep it to myself, along with putting out there for the public to hopefully get comments and advise on my posts. Therefore i will also include an aspect of my interests such as reviews and products. I fully understand that there are thousands, if not millions of beauty or make up blogs out there. Yes, this will include those things, but much more.

There it is, My first blog post. My aims for this blog, expression and opinion. So, stick around. Why not?
