Marriage Equality & LGBT Pride!

Hello and welcome back to my blog! <3

A wonderful announcement happened yesterday in America about it being legal for EVERYONE to get married no matter what their sexuality is and it just makes me feel very happy inside to hear such great news.

Being a marriage equality supporter myself, i feel very happy to hear that people who have had great struggles to accept themselves for who they are and the people who are still going through that struggle can now proudfully say that they can get married to whoever they want no matter what their gender is!

Finally the equality message is getting spread around the world and one day i hope that everyone will have marriage equality and be accepted for who they are <3 Lets spread the love even further because at the end of the day LOVE WINS!!

Diary Entry #3

24th April 2015

So it is finally the weekend, and it is safe to say that this week dragged. School has been manic with revisions, tests and coursework. Now it is time to relax!

-Sorry i haven't written a post for quite a while, i have been weighed down in homework, but i have a great post for you lined up so stay tuned!-

Right now i am sitting on my new sofa with my dog sleeping next to me and whilst video chatting my friends! It was true to say that women are the best multi-taskers, ha!

This weekend will probably be filled with sleeping, eating junk food and doing homework, so that's great, ha! 

How has your day been and what are your plans for the weekend? 

Have a nice rest of your day:)

Diary Entry #2

16th February 2015

Half term finally! I am off school now until Monday, but because i was off last week i have got loads of homework to catch up on:(

I thought that as my parents are at work this week i should be more productive (lets see how this goes, ha). So i woke up early and set an alarm because jet lag isn't being very kind at the moment so i keep going to bed super late and waking up in the afternoon. It was raining which wasn't very nice either. I took my dog out for a walk as soon as i got dressed and ready.

Then my friend came over for about 1 hour hopefully helping me with my homework, but didn't ugh! It was nice to chat anyway but after i had to continue doing my work:( I am now writing this again in my living room after eating a pasta bake that i cooked (master chef i am!) and watching Emmerdale (a British soap). I am pretty tired but don't want to go to bed (i am so lazy!).

A snap from my trip to New York (working on a post at the moment!)

Hope you have nice day:)

Favourite Quote of the Week

I have many quotes that i love but i saw this one yesterday on pinterest and it's so true! I love it:) I got told many times by Mum that you have got to learn from the bad people in life and this quote says it all. Pinterest are great for finding quotes and there were many that i loved but this one just stood out. I practically live by this saying and then matching it with one of my all time favourite films 'Up' i just thought i had to write a blog post about it:)

What's your favourite quote?

30th January 2015

SNOW! I hate snow when it comes to going to school and obviously people were throwing snowballs, yay:/ I just really don't like it. But school went on as normal and the snow started to melt, thank you! 

So, now i am at home in my living room writing this:) My dog always greets me with a wagging tail as i come straight in the door, it's proper cute:) I have got so much homework to do, ugh but me and my friends are having a homework day tomorrow, but we will probably just talk and mess about, ha:) I go to New York soon so i am ultra excited about that but i have a history test on the very last day, ugh:/ 

I got home and caught up with Celebrity Big Brother with a cup of tea and a piece of chocolate:) I have been craving it all day! So glad it's weekend! I get too excited for them nowadays but it's a good time to relax:)

Hope you have had a nice day:)

4 Things I Have Learnt in the Couple of Weeks of 2015.

Throughout the couple of week there has been of 2015 I have learnt 4 important things about the year ahead. I am trying to vary my posts a little more (not all being beauty related) so I hope it works:)

4 Things I Have Learnt in the Couple of Weeks of 2015.

1. Don't take anything for granted

This is pretty obvious but my friend found out some pretty terrible news a couple of days ago and I keep wondering what about if that happened to me or one of my loved ones? It's quite a horrible question to ask yourself but it really makes me realize how lucky I am and how I can't take anything anything for granted. 

2. Just be YOU

Beware this one is going to be cheesy, haha. Anyway, last year I thought that I couldn't really find myself and what I was to this world (cringey I know) but I finally think I have. I have found my dress sense and what kind of person I am to other people. It takes some time but you have to be patient. Find what clothes you like not what other people like. And be you because the version of you is much better than the version of Bob down the road. 

3. Make New Years resolutions that you can keep

I always try to be adventurous with my new years resolutions over the past couple of years and challenge myself, this can be good but only to a certain extent. This year I still am trying to push myself to achieve new things but make only a couple of new years resolutions so I can focus on them. It's better to do this than to make a whole list that you keep forgetting or don't end up trying/completing.

4. Save your Christmas money

I know this can be hard but you will thank me in a couple of months:) I am guilty of getting my money from Christmas and then spending it all in 1 week! But trust me this year it's about to change. I am saving my money to spend it on something that I love and won't chuck away in a couple of months. It's just way better to know that you are saving for something that means loads to you. I'm not saying don't spend a penny but when your friends ask to you to go to town or something try and spend it gradually and not all at once:)

What are the things that you have learnt?

11. Why did you begin your blog?

Jackson's Cup of Tea's Questions:)

1. What is the inspiration behind your blog?

There is many people that inspire my blog like Zoella, Niomi Smart & Beauty Crush, but really everyone's blog that I look at has some kind of inspiration for me because they are all so different:)

2. If you had to be an animal what would you be and why?

This is tricky because I have loads of animals that i'd like to be but if i'd have to pick one it would be Orangutan. Just because they are like humans, cute and funny. Plus they are quite strong and my Mum like's Orangutan's. They are very interesting and intelligent as well:)

3. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life what would it be?

These questions include a lot of thinking, haha. Again, it's very tricky but I think it would have to be Listen To The Man by George Ezra, because his voice is just to die for, let alone his looks! And it's such a gorgeous song with some very beautiful lyrics.

4. If you had to live without technology do you think you'd cope well?

I'd like to think that I would because I think I could keep myself busy but I reckon it would be hard! I'm being too optimistic, haha. It would be very very hard, phone, laptop, camera, games, music:( I actually don't think I would cope very well.

5. Most worn item of clothing?

Probably my grey roll neck jumper that I love and is sooo soft:) I either pair it with a patterened skirt and chelsea boots. They are really good to style and can be easily dressed up or down. Mine is from Gap, the link is here.

6. Best first date?

 The boyfriend's that I have had in the past didn't take me out on dates *and the crowd goes aww*.

T

7. Biggest regret, if any?

I don't think it's right to go through life with regrets because all they will do is weigh you down. I have made many mistakes throughout my life but I try and learn from them. I think this is a better way than having regrets.

8. If you had to act in a movie what one would you choose?

I would probably choose The Proposal because Ryan Reynold is one hottie and I wouldn't mind being in a film with him in it:) 

9. If you could see a trailer for 2015 would you watch it?

It's hard to say because you don't know what the future holds but I probably wouldn't as I would like it as a surprise. I wouldn't mind having a sneak peak into the good things but I wouldn't be able to see what bad things there are in the future before living them.

10. Favorite bloggers?

I have many that include Beauty Crush, In The Frow, Zoella, Sprinkleofglitter, etc. I have too many:)

11. Tell me a funny story about yourself.

Me and my Mum were shopping in Sainsbury's (a supermarket like Walmart but in Britain that sells crafts, food, clothes, etc) we were looking at some clothes and I saw this lady (which looked quite like my Mum) looking at this horrible cardigan. I didn't really think to check it was my Mum, so I shouted, quite loudly "NO!". The lady (who I realized shortly after wasn't my Mum) turned around quickly and gave me the most stunned face ever. Me being me pretended it wasn't me and quickly looked in the opposite direction after the look she gave which wasn't a good idea because I should have done it sooner. So then I quickly ran to my real Mum and told her what a fool a made myself look. I feel sorry for the lady that I shouted at, oops.

Thank you Jackson's Cup of Tea for nominating me:)

Some Favourite Presents From Christmas.

I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and New Year:) Today i'm going to be sharing some of my favourite gifts from Christmas:) I loved Christmas as its a great day to share with your loved ones! We had a great day in the Vandome household:) I hope this new year brings you happiness and joy.

As I have already included a Daisy Dream review in my last post I won't babble on about the perfume in this post but will babble about many other gifts that I received:)

My Mum got me a little card which has a lovely saying about Daughters & Mothers, this is very close to my heart and means a lot:) It's not long but still includes lots of sentimental messages.

We laugh,we cry, we make time fly

Best friends are we my daughter and me!

The two hearts on the silver necklace was a gorgeous present to receive from my Mum and Dad, it's so cute and I wear it mostly everyday. I have wanted a cute necklace like this for a while now and finally got one! 

I have been quite obsessed with Pandora lately, since on my birthday I got 2 Pandora rings and for Christmas I got a lovely bracelet. I chose the dark purple leather band because purple is my favourite colour and I liked that it as looks different and unique. Each of these charms have a message to me and represent something special.

I was so happy so open Girl Online, Zoe Sugg's first novel! I have started reading it and it's fantastic, although I haven't got far yet! I'm quite a slow reader! But I can't wait to finish it:)

A massive surprise was my laptop! I have been wanting a laptop for a while but always put off the idea, until on Christmas day my parents surprised me with it! I'm so happy with it and love it to pieces!! So far I have been obsessed with The Sims 4 which is another favourite of mine. Quite frankly I have been stuck playing it all the time! It's very addictive, ha!

Thanks to my brother for taking the photos:)

Maybe some more favourite gifts might be coming soon! I hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely year to come! Finger crossed I will be blogging a lot more often:)

Daisy Dream ~ Marc Jacobs (30ml)

I hope you all have had a great Christmas and got to spend time with your loved ones. I have a little review for you today.

For Christmas I got Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs. This perfume is now defiantly one of my favourites. The fragrant is sweet, i'm just in love with this perfume!! The boxing and packaging is gorgeous, not forgetting how lovely the bottle is for the perfume itself:) I wear this everyday now and the liquid doesn't seem to be going down too quickly which is great. I really hope I don't run out of this because its one of the best perfumes I have got!

I defiantly recommend this perfume as its a great present or a nice gift to treat yourself! This is not a sponsored blog post and I give all of my honest opinions:)
