Cocktail Masterclass Fun+ Selfie Stick+7 Girls = Carnage

Evening....

Today I am writing a little fun post about my weekend. I had such a awesome day on Saturday, I say weekend but I only have a one day weekend as I am rather unfortunate that I work Sundays EVERY WEEK.
I don't really go out any more, I used to think it was because I never could afford it but I can its just I don't like the town I live in and well lets just say I had some 'Friend Issues' 
Off topic.... Saturday was friend from works 23rd Birthday and Emily * I know your reading this now* planned a little do for her. In fact it was a Cocktail master class :) Based in Central London (which by the way I LOVE) is a small out of the way building called Revolution. I had never heard of it before but many people we know had and highly recommend it.
I am quite a shy person it is one of the reasons I started blogging and vlogging to build up my confidence so even though these guys are all my friends making a cocktail in front of them all made me nervous its the weirdest and strangest feeling ever and I don't know how to stop it or control it. 
Anyway of topic... I made a Peachy Cheeks cocktail which was so yummy, tasted a bit like a Peach sorbet. I would most certainly having that one again, if only I remembered the ingredients and how to mix it all together *DAMN IT* 

Here are a few pictures, the sensible pictures from the evening :) 

 I do like me some Chocolate Brownie 

 This picture sums the 3 of us I think... Me, Emily and Georgia 

 Selfie Stick Group Photo :)

Me and Georgia 

Whilst out drinking with these beauts I filmed a few little bits and pieces for the first month's vlog but it will be put into my April one :) It is the worlds weirdest and scariest thing ever as people look at you funny and just don't understand why you have a camera pointing at yourself and why your talking to it :/  My friends were understanding I think this night but it helped that everyone was a little bit drunk. 

So to my friends reading this I hope you understand what I am doing and why I am doing. I hope you all don't mind it is a laugh at the end of the day. Also encourage me to do it more as I get bloodly nervous whacking the camera out on my own.

Thanks for reading guys

Loosing Matt.... 6 Months On

Hey...

I was going to do a little what I bought make up and clothes post but instead I thought I would update of the the last 6 months and what it has been like..... I am going back to the post I wrote 'Loosing Matt'.
6 Months has passed since I wrote the post and 6 months has passed since he went away, never to return. The hardest half a year I have experienced that's for sure. No one really talks about it any more, like its gone and forgotten. But for me it never really is. Yeah time makes things seem easier but the guy was one ( I have two Matt and Chloe) of my best friends. Do you know how hard it is loosing your best friend and having to carry on your everyday life without them being at the end of a phone or text away.
 Since that day I swear I have had more things going on in my life than ever and I don't have Matt to turn to, give me the advice he always gave me,sometimes its was bad and I mean bad but most the time I listened. Everyday there is something that has happened that makes me want to pick up my phone and text him *drama queen I know* .There is something about having a guy best friend that is different to a female best friend and anyone that has one will know what I mean. They make fun of you but they help you more than girls will sometimes and it always nice to have the guys point of view of certain things. 

When I go running or on my own I always have little thoughts of what it would be like if he was still around like would he be with me talking of all the things we were going to do in the future, or him laughing at me as I am trying to run my best. What his thoughts are on me FINALLY applying to University? Telling people how I feel? Living my life the way I had been talking to him about for the past 7 years? So many questions... So many unanswered questions :(

My life has changed since August because I don't have Matt around any more. It is like starting all over again. Changing things what I have been so used to for the past 7 years. I wouldn't say it's like a routine our friendship as we always argued over the stupidest little things. We were so different but that is what made our friendship. I trusted him with my life and I can safely say he would say the same about me.  How many people in your life can you honestly and truthly say that about someone?! 

All the first's without him :( 
Christmas time was tough! Real tough. I hid it well from my friends and family as I didn't want to ruin it for them but I cried a couple of times and I even wrote letters to Matt telling him how much I hated him for not being on my doorstep Christmas Eve and the fact I carried my phone around all day Christmas Day waiting for a phone call and the text when the Christmas Dr Who special to come on. Of course none of these things happened :( .
 New year comes around and of course I cried like a baby as I never wanted 2015 to come around as I didn't want to leave Matt in 2014 while I went on into 2015. I HATE that I have to say that he passed last year, I hate having to say it at all but ya know!
 Then we have my up and coming birthday another first for me JOY!! He has been by my side since my 17th birthday watched me throw up, dance on tables, get banned from clubs and certain food places, to walking me home listening to me moan about some guy or other or even held my hair back while i puked * nice image for you there* but that was my best friend. May I also add I did the same to him not the holding hair back but watched him do ALOT of foolish things. Right old pair!!
So this is the first without him. 

I know there are plenty more first to come along in the next 6 months but I am ready to deal with them and face them. But I just want to say it is bloodly hard loosing someone like that and I would never ever wish it on a single person. 
I wish people would talk about him more or let me talk about him more I feel like sometimes I want to say something but I don't want people to feel bad or sorry for me. I've had enough of the sad and pity faces now. Just let me talk about him every now and then and laugh at something. He may be gone but he has been a HUUUUGGGGGEEEE influence on my life in life and in his death. I look at things so different now. 

He would sooo be laughing at me right now as I am crying just writing about all this and expressing my feelings and he will be saying " You're such a girl, you need to man up" such a DICK sometimes.


I am not going to apologize for this post as well I wanted to update you all on the whole 'Loosing Matt' and I wanted to get my feelings and words out there :) 

Thanks for reading :)

XOXO

Blogging/Vloggin

Hello blogging friends....

I thought today I would share my plans on the whole vlogging. This scares me SOOOOO freakinnn much but I want to do it so much. I am doing this for myself and not really anyway. I am turning 25 soon... Oh gosh I have just realised it is March now so it is next month *sickface* anyway.. I have quite a few things exciting that is going on this year and I thought I would get the camera out and film all the funny and amazing times I am going to have with my family and friends. I mean the videos won't be great, especially the first couple as I am a newbie and getting a camera out is not for everyone but I am going to give it a bloodly good try. 
Basically I want to remember the year I turn 25 I mean I have done a good job getting this far in life, Quarter of a century of over * woop woop* an achievement right there.

I am going to make it a monthly thing so at the end of the month I will mash up all the good, bad and funny moments and make one long *might be short* video. 

Wish me luck as I feel like I need it and let me know if you'll be interested in seeing the videos as I don't know what I am going to do with them yet. I might just put them on my blog or shall I put them on youtube *scary* 

Real Techniques Make Up Brushes

This post has been a long time coming as I have used the Real Techniques brushes for a while but its not since I purchased some new brushes *Limited edition* set that I really thought how much I LOVE them and how I probably wouldn't change to just any other set. I use them on a daily basis *which I am sure many of you guys do as well* I have a few of them, not every single one *at the moment anyway* I do need to invest in the complete set. There really is a brush for each part of your face. Just what all us girls needs right?!

Brushes I have an use on a daily basis:

1. Powder Brush.

 The one brush that actually lives in my bag and goes wherever I go. Perfect for a quick powder freshen up. Stop that shiny face.

2. Expect face brush.

Perfect for everyone and so nice putting on your foundation. If you wear foundation this is one for your make up kit.

3. Miracle complexion sponge. Perfect for contouring and the tips can be used to cover them imperfections.

Nic's Picks limited edition kit:

1. Duo fibre face brush

2.Cheek brush 

3. Angled shadow brush 

4. Base shadow brush

5. Eye liner brush 

I seriously recommend everyone and anyone to use these brushes *the whole range* whether you are just starting using make up and trying to find the brushes for you to the make up artist out there. They are soft of the skin, beautifully designed each brush has a different colour handle for the part of the face it is used for. You'll never be confused if you are a newbie.

Purple= Eyes 

Pink= Cheeks and Contouring 

Gold/Orange= Foundation, Concealer 

They are a reasonable price and even better if you buy on line www.realtechniques.com then if you were to go into a shop. Starting from £3.90 to £6.50 these are for the single products. There are some sets on the site which again would work out a bit cheaper than if you bought individually and these are £11.70 and they contain 4/5 brushes.

Most recently the real techniques girls have realised a new line of brushes that are slightly on the more expensive side and I would say more for the make up artist of the world. They are stunning brushes and I would LOVE to have a collection of them but at the same time I would never use them as they are just to beautiful to ruin with make up *yes I know that is what they are meant for* but still. This range is called the Bold Metals Collection. I would highly recommend if you love make up and brushes head over to the site and just have a little admire at them. *GAAAAH* BEAUTIFUL!!!

Hold you enjoyed this post. I enjoyed writing about this I really thought I lost all motivation in blogging but buying my new brushes made me want to blog them.

Hope you all enjoyed this post
