Books VS Kindle

I am surely not the only one that has the same debate with themselves and others right? I have only just started reading more well I say in the past 14 months more than ever and I LOVE books. Even before I was reading more I loved them and I would always by some new ones with the intention of reading them one day. There is nothing I love more than having a cup of tea and reading a good book. A physical book that is. Holding it in your hands, the smell and even breaking the spine *Abbie and Kelli will kill me for saying that* but it is just one of them things that I like. Getting lost into a whole new world, imaging the character and creating what they look like in your head and comparing them to your own life.

I own a few books all my favourites and the ones I plan to read in the next year. But late last year, black Friday (26th November) I bought a Kindle. I had toyed with the idea for a good couple of months but I always resist'd as I loved a physical book to much. But obviously I caved. There are many good points in having a Kindle as some of the books are much cheaper, take less space in your bag, takes less space on your bookshelves. 

But today after finishing my book on my Kindle * MAYBE SOMEDAY* I felt like I needed to pick up a book. I missed reading with a book in my hand, turning the pages and all that Jazz. I have since picked up a new book and started reading it. Again I do like my Kindle but I am slowly starting to miss books and I think maybe just thinking I prefer a good old book to it. Maybe a Kindle can be for Holidays or something. I am not quite sure right now. Maybe I need to give it some more time and get used to it * Get with the 21st century* it has only been 2 months since I bought it and compared with 24 years of books that not really given it a fair chance now is it.

What are your thoughts on this subject Books or Kindle?!?

Mini Nail Polish Calendar

I'm a girl that LOVES to paint her nails. I would paint them daily if I could. But I don't! I do kind of paint them depending on my mood. So if you ever want to know what mood I am in just take a look at my nails ha.
So at Christmas I was rather lucky that I was given a Mini nail polish calendar. Its super cute and adorable, behide every day is a cute little quote that makes you feel all girlie example: Behide door number 12 is 'A smile is a best make up a girl can wear'.
Since Christmas I have tried 2 of the colours out and both have been amazing. I have been wearing them for 3/4 days without them getting disgustingly chipped and nasty looking. Any nail polish that can last long and have beautiful colours is always going to be a winner.
Now it is a calendar I know and I think the idea was meant to be open on day by day but this is me we are talking about and well I may of kind of opened all the doors all at once *oopsy* 

So the calendar you get:

17 Nail colours 

4 Nail Pearls

2 Glitter Polishes and 

1 Sequin

at the top of the calendar is also a funnel 

As well as loving the polishes I love the box it came it the colours and the design. It is just simply beautiful. 

***Watch out girls I opened the sequin pot and it went EVERYWHERE. Red and Green sequins all over my floor *MAGICAL* and a big old mess!

Hope you like my new little collection.

From bad times.... To good times

Hi guys!

Sorry I have been absent in the world of blogging I was a little bit under the weather last week, had that nasty bug that everyone around here seems to be getting or had and then this week I have been busy with work has really knackered me out more than normal because I was unwell. Its all linked. WEIRD!

So back to today. Today I wanted to write a little post on what has been going on lately with me. Well I am telling now as I was officially signed off today. 

I have been going to counciling. I never wanted to share this information as I was not ashamed but it was just a personal thing I had to go through and it was tough enough going and talking so having no one else know made it better. I say no one knew but my close mates did.

I went through a tough time in the summer of last year as I lost one of my closest and best friends. I didn't cope very with it and it truly hit me like a ton of bricks. I mean I never lost anyone in my life and to be 24 and loose someone so close to you, how do you cope?!?

My way of getting through the days was working as many hours as I can possibly do and then crying myself to sleep. Not talking to anyone or if I did I would get angry and start shouting at people. But I never saw what I was doing at the time and how I was hurting myself and others around me. Luckily I have a good bunch of friends and family that understood and helped me through.

I would wake up in the morning have a massive panic attack

( which I never suffered with before) and panic more because I had no control and no idea what was happening to me. I would go to work stressed, tired and angry because I was just so sad and tired as I hardly slept. I didn't eat very much as everything I ate I felt like I was going to throw back up and I generally felt alone and sad. Things were never going to be the same again.

A part of me wanted to block all my memories and happy times out. I avoided a lot of mutual friends of Matt's just so I didn't have to talk about him because I didn't want to cry and I was SO mad that he had gone and left me in this cruel world. I stopped doing all the things that I loved and all the things we watch together stopped. I blocked everything and anyone that was associated to Matt.

So at this point I was at an all time low. I was classed as Depressed, had really bad aniexty and Panic attacks. It was time I went to see someone who can help and talk to and get all my anger out. It was the best thing I did.

1 hour once a week for the past 9 weeks has helped so much. I finally grieved for my friend. I finally spoke about everything and everyone. All my memories all the stuff we used to watch and talk about I spoke about them. My councilor didn't make me talk about them it just came out naturally like they did want to come out and be spoken but I was just avoiding it as I wasn't ready to say goodbye. I know this now, I HATE goodbye's and letting go of things.

But though this all I have learnt so much more about my self, things I never dreamed of doing and saying. I have become stronger than I have ever been and so much more determined in life than I was before.

As horrid as it may sounds but the death of Matt, made me the person he was always nagging me to be. Matt would always be telling me to just LET GO of things and don't care about certain things, Life is for living not to be shy'd away from it all. But it only now that I can see this! 

I have changed so much in 9 weeks and I am so much more happier now!

There is nothing to be ashamed about in having a any of the problems I have dealt with. So if you are reading this and feel like this please talk to some one. Go to a Doctor or someone close to you truth is they might have already seen the signs like my friends and family did. But YOU have to make the choice. Life is for living. So don't be sad! Make a change.

My style icon

Every one has some one they admire. Mine has been and probably always will be Lauren Conrad. Most people will know her from The Hills, which is where I first knew of Lauren and was ADDICTED to the show. Its the american version of Made in Chelsea or TOWIE but was way before both of them started and TBH was a much better show than them both put together.

Lauren is my idol because she is so career focused and has been since she was in her teens and she got everything she dreamed off which is something I admire. Her quest for love through out the show showed the ups and downs of dating.

Her style is pretty much me to a tee. I get so much inspiration from her in my own clothes daytime to party time. 

Its so positive seeing some one in the spot light with a normal life and not some one that craves drama like many of celebs that come about today. 

I thought I would share my post with you all as positive role models and icons are important to young girls today. Celebs like Lauren need to be more noticed and young teens need people like her in their life's. To aspire to BE some one and work hard for what they want and not do disgusting and shady things to get what they want.

Who are your role models or icons??
Fell free to comment or email me :)

Thanks for reading

Lipstick and Lip Crayons

I simply LOVE wearing lipstick. It changes the look of your make up if your wearing any or a little. They are a statement to be made when wearing. I have actually only recently found a LOVE of them if I am honest. Before to me it was always a bit of effort in maintaining it throughout the day, or I I didn't like getting my mirror out in public and re applying thinking someone was always watching and talking about you wearing lipstick. So I just generally avoided it. 
But now I simply can't not wear it. The only time I don't is probably won't is when I am working or at the Gym.
I have have a few different colours and shades of them colours but I know what suits me and what works well with my skin tone and hair colour *plays a massive role in which shade to choose from*.
The only colour I don't really have is Red. Yes I know it will come to a shock to many as I am told having a Red lipstick is a must have in every girls make up case. But my problem is I just haven't found one that suits me. So for me the hunt must continue. 
Anyway, below are my favourites, my must have on a daily and nightly basis. 

Left to right

 YSL- Rouge Pur Couture ( one of my new favourites)

MAC-Girl about the town 

Rimmel lip crayon-I want candy

Bourjois colour boost-Plum russian

When two of my favourites combine...

How exciting this!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Two of my favourite things combined together... Simply amazing.

So MAC recently released a picture that sent all Disney Princess loving girls *guys too* into excitement.

It is believe to be known that it is being launched in March when Disney's newest film is set be released. Which you all should have got by now Cinderella.

I, myself am looking forward to seeing the film and now just as excited for the MAC line.

Just before my *scary* birthday. We all know what will be on my birthday wish list this year.

Hello and welcome 2015

Happy new year to all :)


Can you believe that it is 2015, 2014 just flew by for me but I am glad it is over and done with as there is just something new and refreshing about a new year. New year a new chapter in my life. Blank canvas just waiting to be written all over and boy do I have plans to do that.
2014 has taught me a lot about myself. Taught me that I am stronger than I thought I was mentally at least. Suffering such heart ache and not thinking you are going to get over it, or carry on with life just as it was before being the main and turning point for me. But it has made me a new and different person. Yes same old ditzy but bubbly Chelsea is still here but she is more determined and focused on the positive and the brighter side of life. That life is for living and doing things out of your comfort zone. Which this time last year I was scared to do.
I have learnt that I am my own person and that I can do things alone. I work well with myself *even more now that I have stopped putting negative thoughts in my head and putting myself down*
I have learnt that you have to learn to love yourself before others can love you.

I am so excited for this year as I generally woke up feeling different. Like, there was something in the air. I know something big is going to happen in my life this year at at this present time I have no idea what *all about the surprises me* I know many of you reading this will be 'oh thats so clinche' but I have never ever in my 24 years of living have I woke up in a new year and felt like this. Its a gut feeling and 9/10 times my gut is always write * not just because its hungry*.

Okay so a few little new new years resolutions 

1. Drink 2 litres of water a day 

2. Excercise more ( I work in a sports centre I should be better at this)

3. Join that dance class I have been DYING to start 

4. Eat healthy 

5. Learn to swim ( again work in a sports centre WITH A POOL) 

6. Go on holiday.  I deserve a break its been 24 years

** Also MUST go to Disneyland Paris**

7. Go away in the UK for the weekend by myself *Challenge* 

8. Worry less what people think, give more compliments to people

9. Be happy 

10. Laugh uncontrollable a hell of a lot more. There is so much going on in this world and there needs to be more laughter.
11.Learn the hula-hoop
12. Be brave and start YouTube 
13. Blog more *happy place*

Well that pretty much sums up 2015 and a little insight into 2015
