Judgemental Minds

Hi guys!

I know I have been doing quite a lot of advice/serious blog posts recently but this will be the last one for a while. I just wanted to talk about something that absolutely blows me away how often it occurs.

That something is people judging others for who they are, for example; race, religion, gender, sexuality, appearance etc. I honestly just don't understand why you would do that. I spend most my life judging myself and telling myself that everyone around me is judging me. But, I would never I even think to judge someone else for who they are.

I recently watched Connor Franta's coming out video and it inspired me. He was so scared to actually admit to himself who he is but has built up the strength to do it and is proud to be that person and I am so proud of him for conquering that.

There are always rumours that go around schools, communities, work places etc, about what religion someone is, what sexuality they are and so on but really why does it matter? It is going to make no difference to you or affect your life whatsoever and even if the rumours are true you should not treat that person differently.

Especially at my age, 15, I feel like people are pressurised into doing things they aren't ready for or deciding who they are which they most likely are still not ready for. I wish we lived in a world where everyone accepted everyone for who they were and treated them equally. Not a world where the word 'gay' is used as an insult. It discusts me.

So please if you can't quite decide what the feelings you're having mean or who you are, then never feel rushed into making that decision. And, if you have a friend who you know is feeling that way, please support them so that they feel more happy to open up to you if needed.

I love you guys!!

Tuesday Chats - Do What Makes You Happy

Hi guys!

The quote 'Surround yourself with those who make you happy.' is one of my favorites. You may not think it matters if somebody 'makes you happy' but wouldn't you like to be happy within yourself? Yes, your smiling but that doesn't mean your necessarily happy. I used smiling as a shield to what I am truly feeling.

You need to be with people who can change you from feeling below sad to beyond happy when you don't think its possible. Someone who will be there for you night and day, understand you, support you and listen to you. Soon enough, that smile won't be fake anymore.

I know life is about taking risks, but if you're risking your happiness it isn't worth it. If someone isn't making you happy or is actually upsetting you then you need to cut that person out of your life. Its best if you aren't close anymore as you should be focusing on if you're happy or not. Sometimes this decision is hard to make, but you get through it.

You obviously make your own decisions but i'm just advising you. Listen to your heart and be brave.

Love you,

Tuesday Chats - Pursuing Your Dreams

Hi guys,

I've decided to start something called 'Tuesday Chats' where most Tuesday I will write up a non beauty or fashion related post based on a different subjects.

One of the most important things in life is to do what you want and to not let anyone stop you from doing that. It can have a really big impact on your life if you do not do so. For example, if you pick the GCSEs or A Levels that your friends pick and not that you particularly like, it can really impact your future. If there was a job you wanted to do but you didn't do the GCSEs or A Levels that are needed in order to get this job, just because your friends were in that class, the future that you hoped to have, might not happen.

Its important to pursue your dreams. If you want to take part in that play, go for it. If you want to apply for that job, go for it. Do what you want, not what your friends or family want, even if that's 'different', It's your life and you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it.

You should respect what others want to do with their lives and they should respect what you want to do with yours. If your friends don't, you should really rethink about calling them friends. It could majorly affect your future and obviously you want your future to be the best it can be. So go for it, pursue your dreams and do what you want to do.

I love you guys,

Yourself

Hi guys,

I thought I would write up a little post for you today.

Many people look in the mirror and don't think well of themselves. They base their lives on the people around them and how they want to be better than them or as popular/attractive/kind as they are.

"The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday." In my opinion, these are words to live by. You shouldn't try and be anyone else, but yourself. If someone you want to be like is telling you otherwise then they are not worth looking up to.

Wanting to be someone else is a sign of a lack of self-confidence, but even that under-confident person is I'm sure a lot better than the person you want to be. Over-confidence is in some ways good, for example, on stage. But being over-confident in yourself, is not something that should be looked up to. Its important to be happy with who you are, but to be happy and respectful for who the people around you are too,

It doesn't matter what you look like, what background you come from, what sex you are or what hobbies you have, what really matters, is what is inside of your heart. You can better yourself as a person if that's what you want, but you can't change who are so you might as well enjoy being you. If somebody judges you for that then they obviously are not happy enough within themselves to let you be happy. But be kind to the unkind people, they are the ones that need it the most.

Do what you want and be who you want to be. Don't let anyone else persuade you otherwise.

5 Drugstore Products I Have Been Loving♥

Hi guys!

I know I made a promise that I will be posting, and I will. But.. recently I have been extremely out of motivation and inspiration to write anything. I think I am now back on track though, which I am pleased to announce, so here are some products that I have been loving. (You will notice the quality of the pictures are so much better as I got a better camera, but they are still not great as I am not an experienced photographer but am trying my best to make this blog the best it can be.)

1) Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation

This foundation is very similar to the Rimmel Match Perfection which you know I love, but with more coverage. I have it in the shade 'True Ivory'. Its a perfect match for my skin and I would recommend this for any skin type, but it works especially well on dry skin.

2) Soap & Glory Archery Brow Filling Pencil & Brush

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know I love the Soap & Glory Archery Tint & Pencil. When they brought this one out I jumped right on it and it is safe to say I absolutely love it. This does take a bit more practice but the small pencil nib allows you to create small hair-like strokes, giving a much more natural look. It also has a spoolie/brush on the other end which is very handy as I sometimes spend quite a while looking for my spoolie. I have it in the shade 'Blondeshell'.

3) Collection Blush

I had never tried a blush from Collection so I though I'd give them a whirl. They aren't too pigmented so you don't up looking like a clown but with very pretty naturally blushing cheeks. I got mine in the shade 'bashful' which is a pinky coral, I know it isn't very autumnal but I feel like you could wear this shade pretty much all year round.

4) L'Oreal Color Riche Mono

I had seen this on quite a few vlogs and blogs so I picked one up. I got the shade 'Quartz Flume' which is a beautiful shimmery bronze. They are extremely pigmented, long-lasting and I think the shade I chose is very autumnal.

5) Rimmel London Lipstick

I love Rimmel lipsticks and was given this for my birthday. I know (and I am saying this again), that is isn't autumnal but I love coral shades and this one is so pretty on the lips. I have the color 'Coral Chic' and it really does go with any make up look, its nude but slightly brighter.

Thankyou so much for reading, I love you guys so much!
