30 Day Snap #30 (AND APOLOGIES!)

ahh I know,I missed ten days.I've just really,really not been up to much they would have been of my dog or dinner.Which I just thought would have been boring!Also,for some reason our internet went over even though 99.9% of the time I'm on my phone,so I wasn't really allowed on my laptop(but it went over even when I stopped using it so my parents and sister were the offenders,not me as all I did was do a few blogposts,everything else I do on my phone!)Sorry for being so absent,I'll try to post more often(even though I'm sure no-one was saying oh no!Alice hasn't posted,my day will be worse now!)

I went to the beach yesterday with my Mum and Dad but stupidly only took videos,and got my mum to take a photo of me on the beach but it was so so windy and I had no make-up on so I don't really want to post that,haha.HOWEVER I made a banoffee pie when I got home so here's a photo of it:

It was so simple to make(just let me know if any of you want the recipe) and extremely delicious if I do say so myself!I was just in Tesco with my mum and I was like I would LOVE you to make a banoffee pie it's my favourite dessert and I haven't eaten it in years.Then I thought why don't I make it,so voila!

Okay going to post 2 snaps as it looked pretty cool before I covered it in cream! 

mmm.

Louise,I've failed you!I really enjoyed taking snaps though and hope you enjoyed seeing them,let me know if you completed or even attempted the challenge so I can see your pictures!

30 Day Snap #14

Eek,I've missed 2 or 3 days of snaps now,sorry! I know I should have just put up the photo's I took for each day but they were so boring,I didn't really want the lettuce I picked for my lunch on my blog.

Tonight my friend hosted a casual girls night where we fundamentally: eat,talk and paint our nails.

She has a pretty big collection,I wish I had the money to own this many,I'm not actually that much of a fan of painting my nails because even with a topcoat etc and good quality nail polish,it chips within 2 days and I have to remove it,after spending hours on painting them.

I arranged them in (sort of) colour order!I arranged them more accurately after but didn't take a photo and I don't know why it's cut out the blacks on the right hand side..I ramble so much.
(panorama fail)

(I was going to post photo's of what colour I painted my nails but I sort of rushed them so they're messy around the edges and I don't want to move from my bed to tidy them up,so I may take photo's tomorrow after I tidy the edges up.)

Graduation: Class of 2013!

So after 6 years,I graduated high school last night.I wasn't really sad because school wasn't the best of times,but I made loads of friends and stayed close to my group of friends from 1st year to 6th year(I live in Scotland so the education system is a bit different). I'll miss some people I guess,that I won't get to see again. The future terrifies me as I'm still umming and ahhing about what to do,and I'm torn between wanting to stay at school for the security and leaving,but I don't have a choice! But I try not to dwell on it too much.

This was my make-up before I went out(not great quality,taken on my iPhone)(my hair was not complying and I was in a huge rush,to get a professional photo taken before the graduation,so my makeup isn't great either,ah!)
(makeup photos taken into the light,so I look a bit like a ghost)

I wore : 

• Colour Adapt Maxfactor Foundation in 45 Warm Almond(I had the maxfactor all day flawless but I went to repurchase and it was sold out so I bought this,it's in the same shade yet much darker and the texture  is greasy,would not recommend but I haven't had time to buy my old one again yet)
• - Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Warm Beige
• - Rimmel Volume Flash Mascara
• - No7 Perfectly Bronzed Bronzing Pearls
• - Vue eyeshadow from the Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow Palette
• - Guest List & Waif eyeshadows from the Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow Palette(used for eyebrows)
• - Vie Out Of The Shadows  Light Diffusing Concealer
• - Estée Lauder Red Lipstick (My friend put it in her handbag last night and I forgot to get it back,so I can't remember the shade)
• - I also applied Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl Eyeliner just before I left but isn't pictured above,for me this eyeliner comes off so quickly,but I couldn't find my Lancôme eyeliner so it had to suffice.
• My Dress is from New Look a couple of weeks ago(£26)
• I curled my hair but even with copious amounts of hairspray my hair always returns to it's natural wave after an hour or so,annoyingly!)

I couldn't ask for a better group of friends,I'll insert some photo's I took on my Dad's camera(near the end of the night..I don't look great)   (We all piled in for one of my friends slots as she didn't want to go alone,and my Dad snuck in beside the professional photographer)

The Head Girl and I,who is my friend I love to bits(iphone photo)

 This is one of my best friends Emma,I love her dress(Again,back to posh camera so my dress looks a different colour.It was more pinky than this photo shows but more orange than the iphone photo's show!

(This is just to show my whole outfit,another one with one of my besties)

                                   It's the end of an era,I wonder where I'll be in 6 years time! 

                                                        (I really do ramble,apologies)

30 Day Snap #6

Today was super hot(for Scotland,anyway) ,and I made this for me and my sister for a mid afternoon snack.She asked if we had icecream(she's 22 and I'm 17..I'm a slave) and I went inside and saw we had some,but also saw we had frozen berries.

It actually tasted so delicious and refreshing,although my sensitive filling didn't thank me,I was squealing when the frozen raspberry it hit a nerve.

hope you had a good day! This tag was created by Louise of Sprinkleofglitter,let me know if you're taking part in the 30 Day Snap so I can have a look at your snaps!

Favourite Blogs!

I'm just lying in my garden sunbathing and felt like blogging,so here I am!

I'm just going to highlight and write a little about my favourite blogs, just because.I remember a few years ago a post on tumblr going around linking to "schoee" blog,and it was an article on anxiety that I related to . I forgot about it for a few years but last year I found her blog again and started watching her YouTube videos, I'd also started watching other you tubers at this time.

So that takes me onto my first favourite Zoe's blog!  (Click the link to be taken to zoella.com)

(all copyright to Zoe for this photo)

I really love both Zoe's blog and youtube,she has a lovely bubbly personality and seems extremely genuine, the kind of person I'd love to have as a friend. Her videos and blog posts on just saying yes & panic attacks have really helped me and made me feel less alone.I could write a whole blog on this but I guess I'll stop here,this looks like an advertising segment bloggers do but it's not because I obviously have no audience and these lovely ladies have huge ones!

The second blog I love is the beautiful Louise ! (Sprinkleofglitter)

(all copyright goes to Louise for the beautiful photo)

I again first watched her YouTube videos,before hopping over to her blog. She is beautiful and so strong and such an inspiration to me, her blog and videos cheer me up on my worst days. I just want to give her a huge hug,she feels like a big sister to me!shes also a mama and her videos with Baby Glitter are the cutest thing ever. I aspire to be like her.


So these are my two main ones, I also love Tanya burr and others but don't venture onto her blog as often.

P.S ; how do I change my timezone on here because my posts say for example they were posted at 2pm when actually I post them at 10pm or something .
Eg just posting this at 3.50pm but it won't say that on my blog ?

30 Day Snap #3

Today my friend had a leaving barbecue at the local 'beach'. I put it in speech marks because its all pebbles haha. I stupidly forgot to get a photo with her,she's off to America for 3 months to do Camp America!

Here's a photo I took of me and another friend,who's leaving me in August for South Africa for an entire year.She's one of my best friends and I can't imagine life without her,it's going to be tough,I'm like a part of her family.

Not the most flattering photo as I didn't quite know when she was taking it,and I hate my smile..but anyway! Louise would want me to be positive :) (I'm left)

30 Day Snap #2

My friend gave me a Wreck This Journal as a birthday present last year,and I go through phases of doing loads in it,then not touching is for 8months. Today my sister is collaging a box for her friend and it inspired me to whip my WTJ out!

 I want to add to this page but I'm scared to ruin it..(the irony..but I want this page to look pretty and creative. I love all the philosophy products,but don't currently own any,but I love the inspirational quotes and the products themselves are amazing and smell delicious.I particularly love the quote on the Hope moisturiser,and am planning to purchase it very soon. *This quote reads 'where there is hope there can be faith,where there is faith miracles can occur.*

30 Day Snap #1

So I've been planning to do this challenge for a while,but forgot about it until I looked on Louise's (sprinkleofglitter) blog this morning and realised it's now the 2nd of June!

I hardly took any photo's yesterday,but here is one I took last night,my friend got me coke with my name on it and brought it over for me,so sweet!
Sorry that it isn't the best quality,when I try save the photo on the instagram website it doesn't work,so i had to take a screenshot on google chrome.

This tag was created by the beautiful and wonderful Louise,who is my inspiration and role model,check her blog out here,she's pretty famous these days! sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.com

Now to think what I can photograph today...

18th Birthday Celebrations!

One of my best friend's was 18 today,and she had a birthday brunch at her house with Bucks Fizz,Croissants,Waffles, the lot! It was so delicious and now I feel fit to burst.  All of us chipped in and bought her a Kindle Fire HD, and she was so shocked and overwhelmed by it.She's going for a gap year to Africa with Project Trust so we thought it'd be handy to get online and chat to us,and also to read when she's bored.

Here's her beautiful cake from the local bakery

and this is how I looked before I went into town with my friends and bought the kindle yesterday (I didn't take a photo of my face or outfit today)

Au revoir for now

Introducing myself!

hello there!

My names Alice,I'm 17 years old,I love languages and am currently sitting exams for Italian,French and Spanish and I live in a rainy town in Scotland.I'm starting this blog as I soon graduate high school,and I was inspired by many people to make one,as I follow many blogs and youtubers such as Zoella and SprinkleofGlitter. I really am going to try and actually keep this going and not lose hope when no-one reads it.

Here's a recent photo of myself 

Currently I'm not even sure what this blog's theme will be.I love beauty but I'm about to leave school and search for a job but am currently unemployed,so I can't afford to buy lots of clothes and makeup and do hauls.

Until next time!
