Thorpe Park

Sorry for not posting much but I am in the school holidays right now and it is the last week so its been busy. Also there won't be as much life posts as I will be at school so hopefully it will be a bit more interesting but I do have to revise and stuff pretty much every day so I might only post twice in a week, maybe less I'm not sure.

Anyway, on Tuesday, I went to Thorpe Park with some friends from my old Junior School. I've never been before so I didn't know what to expect but it was PACKED. As I've never been before, we decided to go on all the main big rides;

First of all, we went on Colossus: the world's first 10 loop ride! I was so scared and my friend made me sit and the back.. It was actually really good fun though!

The next one was Saw and we waited in line for like an hour and a half and it was soo good! There is a big hill to go up but you are vertically inclining, I'm not even joking:

*not my picture*
 
That cart is going up. I was so scared at this point and it doesn't go that fast either!
 
We then had lunch and we had only been on 2 rides which was a bit annoying but the next one was Stealth which is literally over in like 10 seconds! It is 205ft and I was TERRIFIED for this one! It was actually really good but we had to wait in line for 2 HOURS!! I was soo bored but they gave us headphones so everyone was having a silent disco, we are all so sociable, basically no one really spoke for the whole time we were queing.
 
The next one was The Swarm which I think is the newest ride there and was a winged seat position. Not only that but there are also 2 rows at the back where you do the whole ride backwards! My friend made me do that too. Saying that though, I think that was my favourite ride and I would happily do it again now.
 
The final ride we went on was Nemesis Inferno which was amazing too. We only queued for about an hour but it seemed like forever as it was later on in the day.
 
It was actually a really good day and I enjoyed it a lot. We did decide to go on Colossus and Stealth again and luckily the queue for Stealth was really short. I would love to go again and do all the other rides as we only did the main ones and had to queue for ages so didn't get to try any others. I would love to go on Tidal Wave and Rush and I think that Colossus and The Swarm were my favourites! I was worried about going on all of them but they're all so much fun!
 
I have also decided to show on ride videos for all the rides I went on so you can see for yourself what they're really like:
 
 
None of the youtube videos are my own.
Sorry for a long post today and again sorry for not blogging much.

Legoland Windsor



(castle is not made from Lego)

me and my sister
(sexy raincoat - also ignore my face, I was freezing,
shorts are not a good thing to wear on a day like that!)


You may not know but I am OBSESSED with campervans!



I'm sorry for not blogging but I have been feeling particularly lazy recently! On Saturday, we went to Legoland Windsor with some family friends and OMG its amazing! There are some really cool rides there and loads and loads of models made from Lego. There was also a whole model city made entirely from Lego! It was awesome and we had such a fun day out!

Pretty Little Liars


Recently, I have been OBSESSED with Pretty Little Liars, an American TV show and the plot is soo good! I have seen a few episodes in the past and wanted to start watching it from the beginning so last night, I did. I'm not even lying, I've watched 10 episodes since like 8pm last night. I can't stop! I am going to try not to watch anymore until Sunday? as me and my family are going away tomorrow for the weekend, short and sweet blogposts (if any) coming soon,but I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!

listening to: lana del rey - summertime sadness (love this so much!)

Monsters University Review

 
Today, me and my sister went to the cinema to see Monsters University (Monsters Inc. 2) and it is AMAZINGGGG! If anyone doesn't know what it's about, it is a prequel to the first film Monsters Inc. and about the two main characters at University. Its so good and I honestly don't care how old I am, I will always be up to go watch a Disney film at the cinema. ;)
 
I've decided that I'm going to blog every other day (more or less) as everyday is a bit much, I run out of things to say!

5 Things on My Wishlist (August 2013)

Today, I'm going to share 5 cosmetic type things I have on my never ending wishlist:

001 - Barry M Gelly Nail Paint (Watermelon, gnp3) I saw this nail 'paint' on someone else's blog and its just soo pretty! I've wanted a gelly nail paint for a while now and I had no idea what colour to get. I think I'm gonna go for this!

002 - Real Techniques Core Collection Brushes (UK) Pretty much every single blogger has this set and although I will probably only use the concealer and foundation brush, it will make me want to learn how to use contour as I have no idea now. I also need some decent brushes as I put on foundation and concealer with my hands now.

003 - Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion I really need a good moisturiser and my sister has this one and it just smells AMAZING! I love it so much and really want it, maybe next time I go to boots it will magically appear inside a shopping bag...

004 - Essie Nail Polish (Mint Candy Apple) This colour is so cool and I've seen a lot of people rave about it. I don't have any Essie nail polishes so I think this one will be a good starter for my collection.

005- Benefit Make Up Remover Back in January, I got a makeover from Benefit in my local Boots and it was so cool! They use a whole load of make up so you can test out their products and in my top 3 was the They're Real Mascara, Brow Zings Eyebrow Shaping Kit and this Make Up Remover. I already have the first two (I will make a blog post about my makeover at Benefit soon) and the make up remover just made my make up come off perfectly and left my skin feeling really smooth.

News Update (Mental Sister, Bloggers, BBQ and Thank You!)

Bit of a life update  here, my first! Yesterday, we went to visit some family friends for a BBQ and I was going to blog when I got back but I was sooo tired

all - primark






Right, I've decided, my sister is officially mental. She has a blog, Summer, and I came across this post... What the?!?


I've been reading other people's blogs for a while now and I was wondering (if anyone reads my blog) if you have a blog that is quite new like mine. I would love to check them out so leave the link in the comments!


The other day, me and my sister got some face masks and I can't wait to try them all out! I tried one today:

 I will review them all in a future post
 
 
Also, I've just noticed that I've had my blog a month today! It also has just under 400 pageviews and I am so shocked that that has actually happened! Its such a big achievement and I just want to say thank you to anyone if they're even reading this!!

Sportswear?

top - tk maxx
shorts - primark
 
frilly socks - primark
(dirty) converse - schuh

I went out with a few of my friends today and wore this. To be honest, I think it looks like I'm going out for a run but I had a nice time so I don't mind!

Relaxation




Right now, I am in bed writing this and I have my "kit kat pop chocs" - as you can see - and I've just come in from being out in the garden for like 2 hours by the chimmenia?. Its so cosy and warm but the smoke got into my lungs and I feel really dizzy now and I have a headache :(

I have been on a mission today: to try and eat healthier. Me and my sister are trying it and I have found loads of new ways to make that happen! Whether we'll stick to it or not, I don't know...

It was my sister's birthday a few days ago and this is the cake my mum made her:

 

I also got my second ear peircing done! I wanted it done for ages and my mum finally gave in! (sorry for the bad picture):

Haul 003

all - primark
(dress, pj trousers, frilly socks, hair clips)

tk maxx

republic


Yay! Proper post! Today I went to town with my mum again and I thought I'd show you what I got. I found the dress originally in black but wanted it to be more of a day dress so opted for the grey (I'm thinking about going back and getting it in black too though). I also saw the pj trousers and thought they're so cute and I just had to get them! I have also become obsessed with frilly socks and I don't want to spend that much on socks so I buy primark instead of topshop. I didn't have these colours and I've been wanting the white ones for ages! I bought the top from tk maxx as I thought it would look nice with my black skater skirt or shorts. And finally the crop top (bit of a grey theme going on here...). This one is actually quite baggy but for £3, you can't really go wrong!

I'm Sorry!

Right so I haven't posted in a few days as I've been out, it was my sister's birthday and I've been clearing my room ready to be decorated soon so I have been busy. Hopefully they'll be a few good posts coming soon and I will try and post everyday if I can!
