Live Pink Victoria's Secret- Crushed Berries Perfume Review


Hi there

It's been a long time since I last wrote a blog due to many reasons but now I am back and will be writing regularly! YES!

A couple of days ago I decided a long awaited shopping trip was needed. In one of my various shopping bags was a bottle of perfume from Victoria's Secret. I'll tell you that I have never been in this store before (I never really understood what was special about it) but I have to be honest that once you get in this store you never want to leave because it is beautiful! What made this store even better was that there was a MASSIVE SALE! I do love a sale ;)

From the sale I got myself a black Victoria's Secret Hoodie and a crushed berries scented perfume:


I love this perfume! This perfume definitely smells like summer! It is vibrant and young. It does not have a strong sweet smell which is perfect for me as I am not keen on really sweet smelling perfumes... they just hurt my head! I just love this scent, just the name of 'crushed berries' gets me excited about summer (I see myself relaxing by the pool or going on a camping adventure). It is sweet without being too sugary and it is light which is perfect for everyday use. Also I have to say that it is really fun and youthful.
Once I have finished the bottle I am definitely buying another!

Bye gals x

ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH DRAMA


The first time I walked into Abercrombie and Fitch, I knew that would be the last time as well. There was nothing special and all I could see were skinny teenage girls walking around and picking tacky t-shirts. I really didn’t see the “hype” about this clothes brand when people wore A&F hoodies. I’m sure you have read or heard Mike Jeffries comments (CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch) about the store’s refusal to sell any sizes bigger than a large and only wanting the “All-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends” to represent the brand. All I can say is have you seen what he looks like?!

 
Come on now, does this man own a mirror?
 

Many teenagers these days have issues with their weight and it is all down to the media. Magazines have pictures of celebrities and I have to say all of them are skinny. But that’s just a small percentage of the big wide world. It doesn’t matter what size you are; as long as you are happy and healthy that is all that counts. The best way to stand out is to stop trying to fit in. Wouldn’t it be boring walking down the street and everyone looks the same?

Why would you want to buy clothes from a shop that judges you by your looks when you walk in? We go after the cool kids," is what he quoted about the brand. "A lot of people don't belong, and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely." He may have ‘apologised’ but we know it wasn’t sincere.

5 WAYS TO FEEL MORE AWAKE

It's normal for people to feel tired, be it studying for exams or waking up late. But when you have something to do, when you're tired all you want to do is sleep! That is not what you want!!
I know exactly this feeling and I know that this blog post will not only help students study for exams but also for people who just want to feel more awake in the morning. I have done many of these things and really think that it keeps me alert when needed.

1. Splash cold water on your face (minus the cat)


This has to be COLD water, not lukewarm. The cold water will make your face more sensitive and you will how awake you are afterwards. I have to say it's very refreshing too! Just do this a couple of times and you will feel perky afterwards.

2. Place spoons on your eyes


 
When you just want a "perk-me-up", place two metallic spoons in the freezer overnight. In the morning before you have to leave gently place the spoon over your eyelids. This is really refreshing and it definitely has a quicker effect than coffee! Simply press it on your eyes for at least 30 seconds.
 
3.  5 minute face mask
 
 
I have to say that this product is fantastic! Made from avocado and goji berry, you simply put the mask on your face for 5 minutes and then just wash it off. Once off, your skin feels fresh and smooth and you will feel more alert because you are looking and feeling beau-ti-ful!!
 
4. Fresh air
 
 
A change of scenary helps a gret deal in feeling less tired. Just walking in your back-garden or walking around your neighbourhood can make you feel awake by taking in fresh air. This is especially useful for students.
 
5. Crazy dancing
 
 
I love this method of staying awake!! I just put an upbeat song and just dance CRAZILY! Just make sure no one's around and just enjoy the moment of being you. By just moving you will feel very happy! If you've seen Easy A you will know how much energy you can actually get from one song!
 
 
So there you have it! My 5 easy ways of feeling more awake. I hope that helped you out.

ONE DIRECTION ANNOUNCE 2014 TOUR

I have to say when I read this on Twitter I was excited (and still am a little bit). I was lucky enough to seem them this year and would love to watch them again. The concert I went to was fantastic! 


However even though they announced this, there was backlash on Twitter ( #onebigdisappointment) because not all countries where fans lived were announced as a tour location. But I'm sure they will be announcing more tour dates across the globe later on. *Fingers crossed*

I'm also sure that many Directioners will be at their laptops ready when tickets become on sale!

You guys excited for another tour? I know I am!

p.s. I'd love it if you pressed the +1 button fellow directioners.

MILEY CYRUS CAUGHT SMOKING A CIGARETTE


Pictures have surfaced of Miley Cyrus smoking a cigarette and eating fast food. Articles have scrutinised her of straying from her usual healthy regime such as doing yoga and eating healthily. Why do they have to make a person who is just smoking a cigarette turn out to be a bad guy. If she wants to eat a burger then let her. We all eat fast food so why does it make a difference if she does? After all it's her life and whether she wants to smoke or eat a burger is her decision to make.  

 
 
 
However there are some dedicated fans of Miley Cyrus who see her as a role model. They must understand that everyone is different. You can copy your idol such as copying their look or their hairstyle but you should NEVER copy them smoking just because they are doing it. It’s like saying: “If they jumped off a bridge, would you?”
 
Miley Cyrus is a talented and beautiful person and just because she has lazy days (like everybody else in this world) doesn’t mean that she is going off the rails.
 
Thanks for reading
