Goodbye 2016

Hey chickens,
So this blogpost is going to be kinda like a review of 2016. My 'What I got for Christmas 2016' blogpost will be up after the new year, so sorry about that. Also I'm so sorry for the mega lack in blogposts this past week, it's because I can't use my laptop and that means I have to use my phone to write posts and it's just a bit harder but that is no problem.

Now, a lot of people are saying 2016 was a shit year (it is every other post on Instagram) but personally I had a pretty good year. I had the stuff happen that everyone gets but I can't exactly complain. It was my first full year of blogging and my first year at high school. I think I have personally come a long way in a year, just even in 6 months.

Blogging. I love it so much and it has been a big part of my life for over a year now. This year was so amazing, like you guys are so supportive. Right now when I'm writing this I have 3,802 views for my blog like honestly it doesn't seem real to me but it just makes me so happy that people took the time out of their day to look at my blog or to read one of my posts. I have talked to so many cool people on Instagram this year because of blogging and around March this year I got added to Rimmel London's list thing and I am so grateful that I recive samples. Honestly, blogging is really cool like I write these posts through my phone or laptop and people from all over the world can look at these and I just love that. I don't think I say it enough but you guys are actually really awesome people, like you liked my Instagram posts, you read my blogposts and also I don't talk about it enough but, my views are crazy. Like over 3 thousand people have looked at my blog, like I can't even comprehend that because it's so insane but amazing. Also right now I have 1,438 Instagram followers, like thank you ever so much for all of this.

This year I have done things that were new to me like this year I was in year 7 which was my first year at high school. I have gained heaps of confidence and have started to learn not to care what people say or think in certain situations. This year I have been all about the social issues and I have figured out the issues that I am more passionate about. I have become a more chilled person this year like I'm not having to do something every other day.

But overall, 2016 was good for me I hope it was good to you too and I can't wait to see what is in store for 2017! What are your New Years Eve plans?? Mine aren't very exciting, I'm just have a chilled night in with my family. Also quickly, right now while I'm writing this, the weather outside is so nice, it's  not to hot it's just a nice temperature and the sun is out!

Sadly, our time had come to an end. Thank-you for all the support through-out 2016, it was so amazing. I hope everyone has a great night tonight whatever your doing and Happy New Year for 12 o clock tonight. With that being said, I hope you enjoyed this post, I love you to Saturn and back but until tomorrrow, bye

Christmas 2016

Hey chickens,
So, I have been waiting for this day since like November 28th. But honestly, I haven't even gotten out of bed yet and I am so excited but after I finish telling you about my excited, I want to discuss something quite deep and even just thinking about it makes me tear up. Lets get started.

Merry Christmas Everyone. If you don't celebrate Christmas, then Happy 25th of December.

Christmas Is one of my favourite times of the year, I love it so much. I mention in my post on Friday that I don't actually know what part of Christmas I love the most or what part is like the best for me. I love giving people presents, I love all the delicious food and I just love the Christmas tree and all the decorations, gahh. Also, Christmas has come around so quickly it's unbelievable.

Now, on a way more important note I want to talk about all the people who don't find this time of year wonderful. Oh, god, I haven't even really started talking about this and I'm already tearing up. The less fortunate and homeless will not be having the day like I will be having today. All the Christmas appeals, like donating toys at Kmart, The Salvation Army do things where you can buy all these packages and they go to the homeless and the people living in poverty. Like people living in poverty receive things during December to help them out, because they have to choose between food and paying the bills to providing Christmas things and presents for there families. The homeless, they don't even get a Christmas at all. Most of them have no family. They will be getting no presents and they won't have a nice Christmas meal. Writing both of these things and thinking about it just breaks my heart, like I'm crying right now because this stuff makes me think why some people are so selfish. I always donate money to the Salvation Army, and I have been this month and I donated a couple of toys. I can't even express how I feel, like it makes me feel so sad and numb because the Rich have so much money and most of them are selfish. I am not trying to call out Zoella here, I actually love her videos I'm just using her as an example. She is so rich, and she buys so many presents at Christmas time and what I do not get is why someone that rich would not donate something. Look, Zoe might have donated something, and again, I love Zoe and her videos I am not trying to throw shade or anything. I know personally, if I was rich or if my family was rich, I would donate presents, hampers and money to charity's because I know that will go to someone and it will proably make their day just a little bit better.

Now, I am not trying to make people feel make and I am not saying the if you are living in poverty or if you are homeless that you should donate things. I just wanted to make people aware that there are people living like that and honestly it breaks my heart, I wish I could help all of them. I hope you all have a fantastic and wonderful Christmas, I love you all so much, you just mean so much to me, I think my life would be quite different if I wasn't blogging.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you all so much for reading and for the fabulous support. Today, I will be thinking about the homeless and the less fortunate, I hope everyone (including you guys) has an awesome day. Well with that being said, I hope you enjoyed the post, I love you all around the universe and back but until the next time I post a blogpost, bye

Christmas Eve 2016

Hey chickens,
Now, this post will be quite short because I don't have a lot to say except it's CHRISTMAS EVE. My post tomorrow goes into something quite deep so I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. Also can I just quickly add, how quick has this year gone and Christmas has come around, it is actually mental. But anyway, I'll get into this post.

I love this time of the year so much, it's just so happy. I am just one tenth sad that Christmas is almost over but I am like 200 percent sure that I'm so excited for Christmas. The plans that I have for Christmas are pretty easy-going. I'm seeing my dad and my mum and it will just be really nice except for one thing.... The heat. Christmas day last year it was so hot and apparently it is meant to be really hot this year as well and I hate the heat so much, like it goes past 30 degrees and I'm dead. I will have to say, Christmas is such a fun time of the year and it's Christmas Eve, like Christmas is legit tomorrow, like tomorrow that is so crazy.
Well, I have probably talked about Christmas way to much in one post so I am going to wrap it up. Everyone get a good nights sleep. Also sorry for the really short post.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thanks so much for your support and for reading this post, it means so much to me. I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas posts this year and I hoped you enjoyed this post plus again sorry for the short post. I love you all to Pluto and back but until tomorrow, bye

Also sorry for the gap underneath this post, I tried to delete it but it isn't working

Favourite Christmas decorations

Hey chickens,
I understand that the last few blogposts have gone up quite late, I don't really have an excuse for it because the reason is, I've just been watching to many Christmas movies of a night (right now I'm watching The Polar Express). This post is kinda like a part 2, to yesterdays post. If you didn't catch yesterdays post, I basically did a Favourite Christmas tree ornaments. Well, enough rambling, lets get on with this post (this post will be more detailed than last nights post).

This is just a picture of all the decorations together.

I got this really cute little teddy a few years ago as part of a Christmas present, and I just love it. The Christmas present was a Christmas mug and it has a teddy bear on it wearing a Christmas jumper and they teddy bear came inside the mug.

This angel I got from a 2 dollar shop earlier this year, and I didn't plan on it being for Christmas but it turned out as a great Christmas decoration this year.
   
Now this teddy bear I have no idea where I got it from. I think it's my mums and she gave it to me or maybe I stole it from my mum... oops

 This stocking I didn't even know we had this stocking until my mum got out my brothers and mine Christmas stockings and so I was like, omg, this is so cute, this is definitly a Christmas decoration (in my room) this year.
This gingerbread man, I actually got from Kmart this year in the kids section. I also got one of the 2016 Christmas teddy bears because why not. I was going to get the bigger version of the gingerbread man but I thought the smaller one was cuter

Legit, like beanie kids. Honestly, I got this years ago from my mum at Christmas time and I have it all year round with my beanie kids but when its Christmas it comes out to be placed on my bed.

This little wooden heart I got from a little shop but I loved it so much. It say's 'Believe in the magic of Christmas' and honestly I am keeping this up all year round because it explains my life.



Also I couldn't be bothered to take the photo, then download it on my laptop and stuff so I will explain. The first thing is of course a Santa hat, even though it is boiling hot here (I live in Melbourne, Australia and it is currently summer) and I would probably die of over heating if I wore this one on Christmas day (it is meant to be like 35 degrees) but I'm going to try and do it. The second thing is, my Santa phone case. It is from Kmart and I got it last year but it's so festive, I just love it!

Like honestly, I love Christmas so much and I'm not even sure what it is I love so much. I think it's just all the cheer and the colours and the giving and receiving, just it's a wonderful time of year.
Now, the blogposts for the next few days will go like this. Christmas Eve's blogpost (tomorrow) will go up during the day and Christmas days blogpost will go up in the morning. Then after Christmas, I probably won't post a blogpost until New Years Eve, but I might.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you all so much for reading and for your endless and amazing support. I hope you have enjoyed my mini blogmas although it isn't finish just yet. Also, I'm really sorry that this post is going up at around ten to 11. Well, I love you all to Jupiter and back but until tomorrow, bye

Favourite Christmas tree ornaments

Hey chickens,
Now, because it's only about 3 or 4 days to Christmas, I thought I would share with you my favourite Christmas tree ornaments this year. I am not completely sure where all of ornaments are from and some of them are from years ago, so I'm not going to be able to inform you where they were from. Anyway, lets get on with this post.

                                                             
So these are some of my ornaments that I have been loving this festive season. I would go through them all and give them a short description, but they aren't the hardest thing to look at and see what they are. Also it is quite late and I want to get this up at a semi reasonable time.
Last night, I thought I would watch Pretty Little Liars again (while I wait for Walking Dead to come back on). Watching it back for a second time, the first person that is 'A' seems so obvious but when you first watch it you don't pick up the signs.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank you all so much for reading and for your support. Every time one of you comments on my Instagram, comments on a blogpost, Dm me on Instagram or even likes one of my Instagram post, that stuff all means so much. Hopefully you enjoyed this post, sorry it is a bit rushed and isn't very detailed. Well, I love you all to Mercury and back but until tomorrow, bye

Christmas makeup look

Hey chickens,
So today I thought I would do a Christmas makeup look. The look itself isn't an actually Christmas look like its not candy cane eyeliner or anything but it's something you could wear to a family Christmas gathering. Now, I did try this look at myself and I have changed it a bit just to make it exactly the way I want it but I did try it myself so it's legit. Also this post isn't sponsored, I just have a lot of Rimmel London's products. Enough rambling, lets get started.

The products that I used to create this makeup look is:
Lasting Finish Primer by Rimmel London
Lasting Finish Foundation by Rimmel London
Nude by Nature Mineral Concealer
Rimmel London Sculpting Palette
Rimmel London  Natural Bronzer
Stay Matte Pressed Powder by Rimmel London
Elf Eyebrow Kit
Rimmel London Scandal Eyes reloaded mascara
Rimmel London Wonder'ful mascara
Rimmel London Magnif'Eyes in 'Grunge Glamour'
Rimmel London Scandal Eyes micro eyeliner
Rimmel London lipstick in 300 'Listen Up'

How to create the look:
1- Apply Lasting Finish primer all over our face
2- Apply Lasting Finish foundation to your forehead, chin, cheeks and nose
3- Apply concealer to your spots, underneath your eyes and between your nose and upper lip
4- Apply contour from the sculpting kit to your chin, nose and cheek bones
5- Apply blush from the sculpting kit
6- Apply bronzer to your neck and your jawline
7- Apply powder to set the makeup
8- Do your eyebrows (everyone does their eyebrows differently, I just fill mine in a bit with some eyebrow powder)
9- Apply Scandal eyes mascara too your bottom eyelashes, and once to your top lashes
10- Apply Wonder'ful mascara to your top eyelashes
11- Apply the first eyeshadow on the left as your 'base' and the fourth from the right in the crease and over the 'base' coat (using the Magnif'Eyes eyeshadow palette)
12- Using the micro eyeliner do your best too do winged eyeliner
13- Apply your lipstick

Now, I just want to say, I am no professional makeup artist so this may have flaws but it's my first time doing this type of blogpost. Sorry if this isn't the best blogpost, I tried my hardest but as they say 'Practise makes Perfect' so if I keep trying to do makeup look blogposts, maybe I'll be a pro.
But on a more important note, Christmas is literally so close, like I am so excited. I actually feel quite sorry for people that have birthdays really close to Christmas and especially if they have a friend like me that is obsessed with Christmas because they would be like, Um, it's actually my birthday and I'm like CHRISTMAS IS HERE!!!!!

Sadly, our time has come to and end. Thanks for reading this post and thank-you for your amazing support, it really does mean so much to me. I hope you enjoyed this post and if your just as excited for Christmas as me, comment down below and let me know. Also if you are enjoying these posts please comment down below because I like to have that feedback for in the future. Well, I love you all to Saturn and back but until tomorrow, bye
