Update - New hair cut, working in a reptile shop

It's been a long time again, I'm sorry :-( I seem to go threw phases, it's not good, need motivation! Anyway, a lot has changed kinda, i finished school. I was meant to be going sixthform but I didn't want to go back into education and I know it's the best thing for me and all but I really just couldn't pull my self to do it and i really can't do things I don't want to do. So I'm working at my mums reptile shop now, might be doing animal care level 1, not sure yet, but I'm quite enjoying working at the shop. I had my hair cut! My ends were just so dead, i was growing it out and when I think about it I used to be obsessed with growing my hair out, now I've had it cut I'm not bothered at all. I mean I am growing it out still but I'm not bothered about how long it takes like before lol. I will leave a picture bellow of my new hair cut ^.^
So yeah it's quite a difference from before, but I actually quite like it and I've got quite a lot of compliments! Which I'm kinda surprised about because I personally think longer hair does suit me but i don't know. I have a different hair styling routine  its so weird because before I didn't really have a routine and but now because my hair is short I have to blow dry it a certain way and use certain products. But another good thing is that my hair is all my natural hair except a few highlights that are left from a long time ago and they've grown out like half way. I always said to myself that if I get my hair cut short I will always style it kind of big and busy, I love that style on short hair. Haven't been well lately though, either had a cold or felt weak/tired all the time and at the moment I have a swollen gland. If it still hurts in a few days then I shall be going to the doctors, its been so painful, been struggling to sleep properly and I can't eat hard food and when I touch omg the pain. Thank you for all of you that have stuck by and carried on following me even though I haven't posted in quite a while. Since I have more time I'm going to really try and keep posting on here. I started a youtube channel a while back, I really want to start that to but I don't think I have the confidence at the moment to really get into it, maybe in the future? I made a lot of videos private because when I watched them it made me cringe so there is only a few on public at the moment. If you've read this then thank you, really! Leave me a comment of what posts you'd  like me to do, would really appreciate it! 

P.S - I will be changing the layout of my blog because it needs to be changed and updated :-)

Review of Fabulously Flirty Dry Shampoo - Scandalous

hiya!
So im going to do a review of 'Fabulously Flirty Dry Shampoo - Scandalous'. You've probably never seen this dry shampoo, its definitely not well known. I got this from Saver's which is a shop for beauty/hair/health products which are solder for a cheaper price. I think i paid like £1 for this, which if you ask me, is pretty good. I like the packaging, but i do think the writing is a bit tacky with the whole 'Fabulously Flirty' thing. Actually onto what its like, now it's a lot more whiter then normal dry shampoo's. And i find that i have to keep wiping the bit were it sprays out because it dry's all around it. What i found is that its okay, like its just OKAY. Its not amazing, but its not awfully bad. The whole point of it is to soak up all the oils in your hair, it does an alright job of that. But what i can tell you is that it gives you soooo much volume. I find that the 'batiste' dry shampoo does a better job to get rid of the oils and just the greasy look. I now use this dry shampoo for volume, don't really use it for actually getting the oils out your hair. I think dry shampoo's are amazing, like im just fascinated with them, like how do they work lol. But yeah, i'd give it a 6/10. But if you do want something that gives volume then try this!

hello!
Haven't post in a while again, i always say that im going to keep to it but i never! sorry! just gonna do another little update. I had my prom, it was alright, wasn't as good as i expected.I should of done a video on it but oh well haha. Haven't been mega busy, been up to a few things. Mostly dying peoples hair haha but i actually like dying peoples hair, i just wouldn't want it as a job. I get my braces in 11 days. Im super excited. I feel like most of the pain is out the way because i've had 2 teeth taken out. I already have this bracket thing on which is widening my jaw because its to small and i was in some pain at the start. But yeah, im to excited for them and i think thats blocking out the fact im going to be in pain when i do get them but it will be worth it! Youtube have been going well, slowly gaining subscirbers. My dear friend on youtube called sarah ( http://www.youtube.com/user/SaliorSarah ) is such a babe and put me on her channel, i seriously love sarah because she's just so down to earth and she's bloody stunning. And another girl on youtube called polly ( http://www.youtube.com/user/CiaoModa?feature=plcp ) mentioned me in one of her favourites videos which was soooo nice of her, when she was talking about me she said such nice things and shes just so lovely, just want to hug her! heck both of them out because their channels are amazing. I tell you what has been taking up most my time, sims 2! i don't no if any of you ever spent full days on sims when you were younger but i was a true simmer and i was totally obsessed with sims. I had a break from it and now im back into it, think im on my 4th generation! And sleep has been taking up a lot of my time, i've been going to bed at 3,4,5 in the morning which is really bad because im not getting enough day light! i mean its 3:16 in the morning now. Everyone in my house is asleep. So im having to type lightly so i don't make to much noise haha. Oh! i went to ikea today with my nan, mum and her friend and i bough a mirror and i love it, it's like a full length one and i can now take lots of pictures for OOTD and funny faces. Wow, another long update. Seriously need to get back into blogging.I think im going to keep the kinda beauty side on my blog and the fashion side on my youtube because most my videos are OOTD's. Even though saying that i did just post a june favourites which includes beauty related stuff, haha oh well!

Anyway please check out my new video and subscribe!

Hey guys! 
So i haven't been on here for a while, been kinda busy, when i say kinda i haven't been that much. Since its study leave i've been having a lot of lazy days. And i've also had a few exams, i have one left which is tomorrow! So excited for them to be over, gonna have nothing to worry about like revising. But then i realised im going to be stressing about prom, just about my hair and my make up and just little things. And friday i'm having to have 2 teeth out because i get my braces on the 16th july. But in august im going to spain, YAY. Actually so excited, i don't no i feel like when your younger you take going abroad for granted and stuff. But now im grown up/still growing up i'm starting to realise how important things are and that money doesn't grow on tree's. I know that my mum and dad have plenty of money, not boasting at all. But they've brought me up to appreciate money, i wished that they did spoil me back then because i wanted everything but in a way now im grateful that they haven't spoiled me because i don't want to be known for being ungrateful. We all despise the rich, selfish people and i wouldn't want to be one. Anyway, i have made a few more OOTD's videos on my channel, i will leave the link bellow of my channel, please subscribe if you have an account because it really puts a smile on my face and makes my day. Talking about that, i hit 50 subscribers the other day, now im on 56! 56 may not seem like a lot but to me it just makes me so happy. Put 56 people in a classroom and it will be filled, it usually filled with about 30 people! imagine all them people wanting to watch my videos, i don't know i just find it amazing. I LOVE getting comments back and getting lost conversation and the subject of the conversation will be about something i love which is fashion/beauty. I have a feeling this post is going to be long, i just feel like i have so much to say. And sometimes i feel like just typing it out instead of making a video because i know some people prefer to read then listen to some one talk because of pauses etc. I haven't actually linked my blog to my youtube, i shall do that after this post! Just to change the subject again, I've been getting quite a few spots around my nose area, like at the sides/under. Their quite painful and there's like 4 and i don't no were they've come from!? I don't no if its from wearing concealer, i mean i always take my make up off at night. The T zone of my face is so sensitive. Like in-between my eyes area its so dry and then my nose gets redness at the sides and spots and then my chin is like oily and sometimes i get spots. Then my cheeks are fine and i hardly ever get spots or any problems. So if you have any recommendations then comment bellow please, really in need of a fix! This is a pretty long post so I'm going to stop now.
