Smoothie Saturday!!

So this is what i'm calling my "muddle mix" I was going to have an apple and kiwi smoothie but it ended up with so much more ingredients!

Ingredients:
1 Apple
2 Kiwi's
1 Banana
A handful of frozen pineapple
A handful of frozen peach
1 tbspn of milled flax seed
150ml of water

I say this is a muddle mix because I was going to make a simple smoothie but when I went to the freezer I realised that there was only 2 ice cubes left and I left them because I know my brother would want it for his protein shake, but then I stumbled across the frozen fruit I completely forgot I had!!!

It doesn't look like the most appetizing smoothie in the world but it tastes amazing and smells like a sweet shop perfect for when you have a sugary craving, I hope you guys enjoy it!

Thanks for reading
P.s I just remembered that I used a ripe banana not a fresh store bought one.

TK Maxx Wishlist

For the last couple of days I have been snooping around the TK Maxx website, I prefer to go into store myself because you can always find a gem to take away but the weather hasn't been to good so iv stayed indoors and tried my luck with their site... I was not disappointed.

First I saw a this dress which reminds me of the 1920's (which is probably one of my favourite fashion periods) this dress is a cream with floral lace detail, this is a loose straight fitted dress with a long fringe around the bottom hem.

I also love this check shirt, because everyone needs a check shirt right? I don't have a red one yet either.

Oh look another check shirt this time green.

Hahaha ha haha... well heres another check shirt that seems to have snuck its way onto my wish list, and you may be thinking you have two green ones now but oh no this one is emerald green so its darker, yep thats my excuse and its cheaper.

On to homeware.

I saw these amazing cushions I love cushions, I'm not entirely sure why but they add so much to a room and show off your personality.

First I have this white and blue ink stain because its so unique iv never seen one like it.

I love this Aztec Print on because of the colour.

Lastly for the cushions I have this black and white coast one, I love to travel so it made sense to me but also because of the orange around the outside, yes orange is my weakness.

I found these amazing candles, because of there unique shape they will add so much to any room they are in and they can be reused once they have finished burning.

Finally for homeware this amazing silver tray, I don't even know what I would use it for but its so pretty.

Prices:
Navy- Cream Lace Dress £19.99
Innocence Red/Green Check shirt £12.99
Innocence Emerald Check Shirt £12.99

Teen Talk: Peer Pressure

I believe that peer pressure is a very important topic, because it can become dangerous. Some people see peer pressure as "oh they are just having fun" which may be the case sometimes, but often peer pressure can result in mental and physical harm!

I'm a 19 year old female, and many people my age go out every weekend, drink which is absolutely fine for them. But I don't enjoy that, being in those types of social situations usually result in me feeling very uncomfortable and having a panic attack. Although people around me know this, my friends will still try and force me to do things i'm really quite scared of and it usually goes something like this "why don't you drink, come on don't be boring, why won't you come to the party or uptown, god your such a saddo. Now over the years I have got much better at saying no which is something we all need to learn.

Don't get me wrong I still find it hard to say no to people and social situations get me very anxious so saying no is still a problem but iv learn't over the years to say no more and more.

Other than drinking which is something I say no to if I don't feel comfortable where I am or who i'm with, I have been pushed in to other things such as smoking when I was 13 (I only did it the once) and other smaller thing that might seem small to others but it is peer pressure no the less.

• Drinking
• Smoking
• Bullying
• Intamacy with others

At first I didn't see bullying as peer pressure, but when thinking back I can't recall situations where people have joined in when bullying somebody because the bullies told them to and they are scared of retaliation coming to them.

Sometimes peer pressure could come in the smallest form that you wouldn't perceive as peer pressure, such as "I dare you to ride your skateboard down that hill or eat that" and it might not seem bad but if you are thinking to yourself, is it against the law? Do I really want to do this?  

If the answer is "no I don't want to do this" then remove yourself from the situation, and if it is going to course harm to you or others tell your parents. Also if it is a 'friend' telling you to do these things then maybe they aren't the healthiest person to be friends with. 

I have some links here that could also help.

I hope this helps some of you guys, feel free to comment if you need somebody to talk to.

Winter Walk

Like many people today I spend most of my time using technology, in college I'm on computers or using some other form of tech (I'm a film student) and when I get home I am forever using my laptop and phone.

I used to walk all the time but lately I stay cooped up in doors, so I decided to talk a walk to clear my head.

Illamasqua Multi Facet Palette Review

Last week I was innocently browsing through twitter when a tweet advertising Illamaqua's sale caught my eye. Time jumps forward 15 minutes and I am elbow deep in the glittery waters of Illamaqua's website where I bought the Multi Facet Palette in Semblance.

The Multi Facet palettes are limited edition. Semblance is more suited to darker skin tones while Aura is more suited to lighter tones.

This palette was ordered with next day delivery,  it was packaged  really well with no damage what so ever, always a plus side when looking to order online.



Packaged inside a beautiful black and gold box comes the sleek back compacts, it doesn't have the concave shape which Illamasqua products don, but the packaging is still beautiful, with the name and logo lightly embossed on the front.

This compact is the perfect size for travelling, and the versatility of the products inside means you don't have to carry a bunch of extra products with you where ever you go.

This palette comes with

• Cream pigment in Hollow
• New Gleam in Mirage
• Eyebrow cake in Thunder
• Powder Blusher in Hussy
• Four different eyeshadows in Slink, Dizzy, Tango and Obsidian
• Double ended brush

Hollow can also double up as an eyeshadow base, while Obsidian can also
be used as an eyeliner.

This natural palette is surprisingly versatile as you can have a more toned down daytime look or you can easily change to a smokey eye.

I almost didn't do swatches for this palette because it was so pretty I didn't want to ruin it, but I pushed on. The contour and highlight are super creamy and so smooth to apply, the contour is buildable. All the powders are super pigmented and also build able

I'm super happy that I bought this, it helped with my winter blues and helped me feel better during the snowy downpour. 

New Make Up Revolution Eye Palette

OMG I so excited about the new Make Up Revolution Mermaids Vs Unicorns eye palette the colours go from pale green/blue through to purple/black. Although I haven't bought it yet... YET it looks super pigmented.

Think of all the looks you could do with the palette!!

Best of all it is just £4 OMG!!!!

Will anybody else be buying this?

Feel free to comment or follow.
