Not Just a Mundane Monday

I am Excited!!

We got them! And like amazing seats too! *Cries with ecstasy* I would like to give a massively humongous thank you hug to my friend's parents who actually bought the tickets for us whilst we were in Sixth Form this morning!
#loveyoulizandsteve

You are the best. 

Something else to look forward to:

Oh yes we have finally decided that Saturday will be the day for Catching fire! Of the Trilogy, this is my favourite book! We aren't booking tickets as it stands right now though due to the cinemas' booking policy being really weird which makes me a little worried because when we went to see Tangled a few years back at half term it was sold out when we got there. all the same we are aiming to get there 45 minutes before the show time so I hope we will be okay!

What's got you excited for this week any plans?

Four Pictures- One Week

Hot chocolate- winter is upon us my friends which can only mean one thing; bring on the hot beverages! My choice is hot chocolate of course (options Belgian chocolate indulgence if you're wondering) and in my favourite mug- what else?

McBusted- the two bands of my childhood which me and the Amigas couldn't get tickets for this week. :( what was annoying was the whole "they go on sale Friday but we are selling well over 3/4 of the seats on pre-sale on Thurday!" Ordeal that happened in notts if nowhere else. Not happy. All hope is not lost with tickets for an extra date going on sale tomorrow! Fingers crossed for us!!

Cave paintings- this is how me and my friends spend our Thursday nights these days! Need I say the paper was not all that got face painted. I daren't show the selfies- think black mono-brows and tribal markings with the occasional mustaches and goaty beards. Then you're pretty much there! 

DofE- We stayed in dorms for 1 night and spent two days walking/ navigation training. Resulted in a boggy but very funny weekend that had taught me a few things about boys in dorms:

1. They will walk into your (the girls) dorm, fart, then leave

2. They will put their pubes on an unsuspecting roommates pillow when they've left the room. 

3. Then if you didn't shut your door properly, they will do the same to your dorm. 

Such Class. 

Highlight of the weekend: won at sevens- it was a lucky hand but I'll take the victory !

Lowlight- May have slipped in mud and landed on my bottom in front of my whole group. I couldn't help but laugh at myself though! With that said it beats losing a boot in bog and having to get someone else to dig it out for you. Or plunging your leg in bog up to your knee. Or splattering your face with mud off of your socks. Marginally- but it beats them(maybe!)

How's your week been?

July Favourites

Hello!

So July was a long time coming but now where has it gone! I'm posting this slightly earlier than I initially planned but with good reason! I have something a bit different to post on Wednesday so eye's pealed for that! So before I start to ramble on these are my favourites for this month!

Fashion Favourites-


 

Now I am a jeans and a top kind of girl and dresses are a rare thing on my agenda but but with these mood swings that the British weather patterns are having I am having to branch out to deal with the humidity *panics* This Primark Pinafore dress is my current obsession for rainy days where it's quite humid (It feels like Florida in the UK right now me and my Mum almost got caught in a sudden storm earlier and even she said how uncharacteristic this weather is for England! If you don't live here we are used to day long dizzily rain and April showers so these recent storms and flash floods are pretty alien here in the Midlands...) so wearing jeans/ shorts I this weather felt wrong but this has been perfect. Well done Primark!

This Satchel bag I have had for a while now but I cut the label out so can't remember where it's from! It's very sturdy and fits plenty in without being uncomfortably big which I love!

Recognise this hair bow? I have shown it amongst some others in a post this month but I literally haven't taken this baby off! I wear a lot of black so this is pretty much permantly attached to my head now...

Book and Film Favourites-

I figured since I had already mentioned The Divergent series in Last Months Favourites and reviewed Insurgent a few weeks ago I would give this a mention because I really love it! The Secret Garden was a nice contrast from the constant action and plot twists of insurgent which  liked and the story is so cute there isn't one dislikeable character which Is lovely too! I honestly don't think there is a bad guy at all!
How Could I not mention Monsters University? There was no point in me reviewing a Pixar Film. I mean lets be honest, when have Pixar made a bad film? Although I will say Planes worries me a little bit, will it discredit Cars? I hope not but when the Trailer said "I don't cry I'm British!" Brilliant.

Random Favourites-



So we eat a lot of snack bars in our house so I picked these up to try and they are very nice. I'm not going to pretend they compare to a chocolate bar or a tube of Smarties (Man do I love Smarties...) but I really like these for a "healthy" snack I mean you can't eat chocolate all the time! (If only!)
I've mentioned previously that my sister is obsessed with Taylor Swift and although I respect her as a person, I don't normally listen to her music but her first album has a real summer vibe which I love! Specifically Our Song has been a favourite with the lovely weather this month.

The Natural Collection Lipstick in Rosé Bud is my addiction for my makeup days! I haven't wore much if any make up since being off school for the summer break. But when I find something that I like makeup wise, I will then use it within an inch of its life before starting on something else! This colour is very similar to my natural lip colour so it works for me without looking to OTT which is an issue I have sometimes! 

The blue Umbrella short. 

Friend: Went to see Monsters University the other day.

Me: DID YOU SEE THE BLUE UMBRELLA? WASN'T IT ADORABLE? What can I say I love the Pixar shorts! 

Favourite Internet People-

My favourite Youtuber this month would have to be with out a question NerdyandQuirky! She was announced as being one of two winners of a competition to cover John Green' Tuesday videos whilst he has been on paternity leave and from there I was hooked, obsessively. She is really genuinely hilarious and she is quirky (her channel name might suggest)  which is what I love about her videos, there is nothing in my subscription box that is the same! She's really doing it for the comedy girls on YouTube too. Basically I love this girl!
 

Favourite Quote:



I have no idea of the origin of this picture other than that it was tweeted by bubz beauty a week or so or go. I actually have this on my own mood board on my wall because I do stress easily over little bad things ie: If I wake up late on the morning of an exam I know the whole day will be bad and convince my self "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!" But it's just extra stress so this reminds me  that there is always a do over. 

And that concludes my favourites! What have you been loving this month? Leave it in the comments!

20 Facts About Me

Hello!

So in the words of that popular Taylor Swift track that my sister is always blaring out from her room "You don't know about me, but I bet you want to!" If I've bet wrongly (because that's a word now)then this may not be the post for you but oh well! Here's as suggested by the Title 20 Facts about Moi!

1!. I have ginger hair.

2. I am completely fine with being called ginger! (Unless you're a big headed 11 year old who yells GINGER as I am walking down the street then I will probably just laugh at your lack of imagination when it comes to insults. Ditto "your mum" jokes.) Sometimes people walk eggshells around it like its an offensive term (which baffles me) and call it red or auburn but really it's just ginger to me!

3. I have 2 rabbits called Cookie and Beauty. They're so fuffy!

Lazy Bums Soaking up the sun!

4. I also have a rescue Lurcher (Greyhound cross Saluki) called Twix. He runs around a lot.

This Picture is actually from the winter and he is a lot fluffier now as when this was taken he had just recovered from a serious illness.

5. I am rubbish at having favourite anything's! Colour, Food, Band, Eye colour  you name it I won't have a set-in-stone permanent favourite- only temporary.

6. I am a vegetarian and have been my whole life. I don't eat meat or fish and although it's my choice now I can't see myself  ever eating meat simply because I'm happy with my lifestyle and diet, not because I have a problem with people eating animals or anything it's a personal choice. That said whenever I see people eating wings with any sticky sauce it looks to me like they are Cannibals. #sorrynotsorry!

7. I am the eldest of 3 and can't imagine life without my little brother and sister! 

8. I am going to study Spanish, English Literature, History and Politics for AS-Level next year (I will be in year 12!)

9. I sometimes crave cold milk at random times of day and always after eating chocolate/cake. I couldn't go vegan because of this!

10. I am an all round nerd. It's something I admit to now especially as everyone says so amongst my friends so I thought I might as well embrace it!

 

11. The first channels I ever subscribed to on YouTube were Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil. I'm still subscribed to them now and 58 other channels on YouTube (excessive? I have an issue where when people say "please subscribe it will make me so happy..." I turn all Ella Enchanted and do exactly as they say!) 

12.  I have an unhealthy obsession with memes to do with and just generally a certain actor who's last name rhymes with schmosling...
 

13. I love baking when I have time to especially cake and yes I do have that breakdown that they do on great British bake off when something goes wrong. 

14. Lifestyle blogging was something I was completely oblivious to until about 4 months ago. Until then I had only heard of beauty, foodie and comedy bloggers/vloggers. 

15. The only video game I have ever played properly is the Sims 3. I just don't see the appeal personally!  

16.I love books!!! 

17. John Green is one of my favourite Authors (see one of I can't narrow things down to one!) I also like things like the Hunger Games and other contemporary fiction. 

17.5.I also like classic literature like The Great Gatsby (I also loved the film if Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't get an Oscar next year I don't know what I'll do!)  I'm reading Classic Children's literature like the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett at the moment too. Enjoying it a lot. 
 

I also really like the cover of this book.

18.I love shows like Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife (That said if one more main character dies in Downton Abbey I will not be a happy bunny!) I am also a huge fan of The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars. Team Spoby and controversially team Stefan all the way! My Favourite Vampire Diaries couples are Matt and Rebekah and Klaus and Caroline  - This will happen.

19. I love Monochrome! 

20. I don't like tea. I understand that I have failed the entire British population in not doing so. 

 

I would have liked to have done the full 50 facts "tag" but as you maybe able to tell I'm not the most interesting of people but I hope you leaned something new about me! 

Love Kim xx
