Blemish Buster.

Blemish Buster, take my blemishes away!

This is a face mask, which helps to unblock pores and remove blackheads, and it does the most perfect job! It comes in a tube, not a pack, so you can use it over and over again. 

I love this because you can really feel it working into your skin and reaching all the pores, I apply a medium to thick layer because sometimes my pores get badly blocked up and this prevents it. 

I use this atleast once a month and keep it on for 5-7 minutes, depending on how its setting, I then remove with warm water. 

What facemask do you use? How often do you like to treat your skin? 

See you soon, 

Lots of Love,

Liebester Award

Hello! I'd like to thank Gabriella for the nomination for the Liebster Award. Gabriella has a great blog that you should definitely go and check out! 

I had never heard of the Liebster Award before, so I did some research to find out and it looked very interesting. The award is given to up coming bloggers to inspire and encourage them to continue doing such amazing work! The word 'Liebster' is German and it means lovely and pleasant.

What is your must have Autumn/Winter lipstick?

Mine would have to be Elizabeth Arden "Breathless" (number 17). This is because it goes with every outfit and my lips really dry out in the Autumn/Winter season and this just helps them last that little bit longer. 

What got you into blogging?

This is going to be a long answer! The reason I got into blogging was because I wanted to be able to help other people, because not everyone knows about Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle. It was also a way of getting my opinion across, I liked the thought of having a audience and people knowing who I'am. I'm also youtube/blogger obbessed, I'm always reading or watching the 'big' people so I really wanted to be like them. 

Who do you admire and why?

I don't ever think, I want to be 'her' but I do get ideas from different people and make my own sort of style. For fashion & beauty I always go to Ellie Goulding, I think she has such simple but classy looks. I never think 'Oh that outfit looks bad on her'. So I guess I do admire her for her Fashion & Beauty. 

What is your 'go-to' outfit?

I have to admit I dress very boringly! My go-to outfit would be very simple and just my black jeans/leggings, chelsea style boots and a knitted jumper with my tartan scarf! Simply because it is so warm yet comfortable. 

What is your favourite fashion shop?

This is difficult as I really like 2! I'm torn between Topshop & Jack Wills. I have alot of Jack Wills but I also have alot of Topshop. They both have very different styles and sometimes Topshop has more of what I like, but then sometimes Jack Wills does. I would have to say they are at the top together! 

Top 3 perfect makeup products (drugstore)?

The first one would have to The Bodyshop BB Cream. I love this, its so easy to wear but sometimes you really have to work it to get the flawless finish but its worth it in the end! 

The next one would have to be Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder Peaux Claires/Medianes. This is a really good bronzer and looks like chocolate! 

My last one is eyes and I really love this because you can do so many different looks with it! It is called 17 Create the Look - Natural Eyes. 

Top 3 perfect makeup products (high end)?

The first one is my Benefit Most Glamorous Nudes Ever. This is a palette that can take you from day to night and you can really make the most out of it. I really like this palette and its defiantly one to check out! 

The next one is my Benefit They're Real Mascara, I love this and eventhough its waterproof you dont have to scrub your eyes to get it off and it lasts all day! 

The next one would have to be my Benefit Hello Flawless Powder, this is amazing and really does make you look flawless! 

What are your worst habits?

This is disgusting but when I get stressed or anxious or sometimes just simply boredom, I pick my nails! I don't bite them but I pick all of the white bit off, it makes my hands and nails really sore but I can't not do it! I have done it for so many years now! 

Favourite song atm (at the moment)?

Mine would have to be G.R.L Ugly Heart. It is really catchy and is just a really nice song to listen to.

What's your favourite quote?

"You use your past, to build your future"

If you had to choose between Mac or Benefit which one and why?

Benefit, simply because I have never had a chance to properly use the MAC Products regularly! Also the Benefit Products really help my skin,

Favourite time of the year?

Summer, I love going out in the sun and there is so much more different styles! 

I'm not going to nominate anyone specific, but I nominate anyone that wants to have a go! Tag me so I can read yours.

1. How long have you been blogging for?

Top 6 Autumn & Winter Lipsticks

As we are now in Autumn, I wanted to show you my Top 6 Autumn & Winter Lipsticks, that I like to wear majority of time. 

The first one is from Elizabeth Arden and is number 17 "Breathless". This is a matte lipstick in a deep nude colour, almost like your natural lip colour, it applies really well and easily, and I can wear it to school, which I like. It looks darker in the picture than it really is. 

Chanel is one of my favourite places to get Make Up from, because its always really good quality and lasts for ages, so its worth the price tag. The first lipstick from Chanel I have is, a deep nude colour, I can't wear this to school, but I wear it often on the weekends, as it really warms up the look. One of the main things about lipstick, is if it applies well, and this one really does, it just glides on. 

The next one I have is also from Chanel and this is called "Brilliant" which is a deep red berry colour, with a slight shimmer, so its perfect for the festive seasons, and once again it really warms up your look. 

"Sexy" from Chanel, is a true red colour, and is a very vibrant and fun colour to wear, it is a bold lip, but it almost looks natural even though its red. This once again applies very well, and perfect for the colder days as it doesn't dry out your lips. 

Estee Lauder, is also a very good place to go for lipsticks, the one I have is a deep nude, almost berry colour, but it looks natural. I naturally have dark lips, so I can get away with it. It once again applies well, and looks great when you have bold eye makeup, brilliant for parties. 

I also have another Estee Lauder one, in the colour 117 "Rose Tea". This is a lovely colour, which is natural, and you can wear everyday, it also doesn't dry your lips out so you can wear it on colder days. 

Eventhough all my lipsticks are high end, I would really recommend investing in them, as alot of drugstore lipsticks dry your lips out, thats what I find anyway. Even if you have just one or two, it can be a special treat. 

I hope you enjoyed this blogpost, I will see you again soon. 

Lots of Love,

Pure & Natural

I discovered this moistriser a couple of months ago, it looked appealing, I had never heard anything about it, but I thought I would try it anyway. It is by Nivea, and I pick it up in my local supermarket, it isn't high end, but it does the job perfectly.
My skin has never been better, I don't have as oily skin, it's just my T Zone, instead of my whole face and my skin is always really soft. It has made me alot more confident. I'm happy to go without makeup, whereas I wasn't before where it was all red, dry and oily, it wasn't nice.
It isn't the most lightest of moistrisers, but it certainly isn't the heaviest, it's just perfect. It's very suitable for young skin, as it's not harsh on the skin.
Also the thing I love about the moistriser, is its completely natural, so there is no chemicals or nasty things in there, that will damage your skin like other moisrisers.
I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a new moistriser or for a slight change.

What is your favourite moistriser? 

See you again soon, 

Lots of Love,

Tanya Burr Lipgloss Chic - Review

I'm abit late with this one, but every time I go into my local Superdrug, its never in stock! So when I saw it, I had to grab it!
Tanya has a cosmetic range, which is just brilliant! It has something for everyone, lipgloss and nail polishes! I have been watching her vlogs and hopefully she is expanding her range.

This is the most beautiful colour, it has the most gorgeous shine, suits any look you are going for and you can wear it everyday!

I went off Lipgloss & Lipstick because it really started to dry my lips out and I didn't want it to affect me in the winter and there is nothing worse than chapped lips because of the cold weather! However this keeps them moisturized and it lasts along time. I normally just apply another coat after I have eaten lunch and then i'm good to go!

I would defiantly reccomend it, if you havent already tried it! It looks alot darker in the packaging but when you put it on, it just has the most gorgeous shimmer, and most of the time people ask me what I'am wearing. I really love it.

It looks quite dark, however it isnt really dark and if you want to see Tanya wearing it herself, click the link below!

Autumn Q&A

Summer is now officially over, the weather is getting colder and the days are getting shorter! People have been asking for a Autumn Essentials but also a Q&A so I have mixed the 2 together and I hope you enjoy it!

What is your favourite thing about Autumn?
It has to be, layering all your clothes together and heading down to the stables, seeing all the horses munching in the field, with light fog, all wrapped in rugs! It is just so cute and now I go 2-3 times a week, I cant wait to see them and going on hacks. Its so much nicer riding in Summer when it isn't hot, as its not enjoyable with a hat on and thick jodphurs, I'm probably the only one that thinks this!

What is your Autumn essential, this year?
So I went out on a shopping trip, because I had worked in the summer, babysitting, I wanted to pick up a few things! I ended up getting a black leather jacket, and black leigh jeans. I have never owned Black Jeans before and I really needed some! Leather Jackets, have come back into fashion, you can layer them, or wear them on their own. They are amazing!

What is your favourite foundation?
I have stopped wearing foundation and I'am now using the Bodyshop BB Cream, there has been mixed reviews on this, but I LOVE it, it gives a flawless finish, gives me the coverage I need. I really, really like it and will be repurchasing. Its what I wear to school and it doesn't feel like you have got anything on. I really like it and would recommend it, if you are struggling to find something.

What are you most looking forward to this Autumn?
My birthday! My birthday, is on the 23rd October but its a Thursday, which means that its at school, however I will get to see all my friends. I'm also having a birthday party, as last year I didn't do anything for my birthday. All my friends are coming and its going to be really great night, I cant wait!

Favourite Candle?
My favourite candle is going to have to be the Yankee Candle 'Autumn Wreath'. I'm not the best at describing how Candles smell but its a warm, spicy smell and has a hint of cinnamon. It was one to go and try for yourself and I will be burning it alot this Autumn!

I have only done 5 questions, but I hope you enjoy it and I will see you again soon!

Lots of Love,

Flirty Dancing ~ Jenny McLachlan ~ Review

On Wednesday, Jenny came to my school, to give the year 9's a talk about her book. 

She spoke to us for an hour about the process of producing a book and the ideas behind it, it was very interesting to hear about how things happen behind the scenes. 

She spoke to us about the cover of her book, the publishers and how she writes and how she generates the ideas! 

Jenny was a really nice person, answered a lot of questions and because she used to be a English teacher, she really knew how to get everyone involved. 

I listened to everything and learnt a lot, and if you know me I don't have the best attention span so it must have been good! 

At the end of the talk, we had the chance to buy the book and get it signed by her. I was unsure whether I was going to buy the book as I didn't know anything about it, but after 5 minutes of Jenny talking, I knew I wanted the book! 

So I queued up and she was really nice, we had a little chat about dancing and how I didn't like it because I couldn't do it and she was talking about how she couldn't do it but loved Jive. I didn't feel anxious or nervous and she was really nice and easy to talk to. She signed my book and put a little message in it. 

I started the book on Wednesday and I've already finished it! 

It's such a good book, I was hooked by the first page! I never ever wanted to stop reading, I just kept on going. 

I don't want to give too much away about the book as I personally hate people giving spoilers away! 

But it's about girls, friendships and boys and dramas but then something amazing happens. It's book that you laugh at, gasp at in shock! You can't get anything better and it's not just for girls, it's for boys too! 

I would defiantly recommend getting your hands on the book! 

Lots of Love,

My Makeup Routine - Back to School

I went back to school on Friday 5th September. I wanted to go for a very minimal look today and I didn't want to show I had caked makeup on. 

I have fallen out with my Match Perfection  Foundation, it's not been sitting right and has given me a cakey look and I'm not sure why so until I find out, I have fallen in love with a brand new product. 

First of all I cleanse & moisturise my skin, I then use my Rimmel Primer which is amazing and really sets the skin and lasts all day. 

I then use my Match Perfection Concealer under my eyes, on my nose and any blemishes. This creates a nice base, ready for the next step.

I bought the brand new Bodyshop Self Adapting BB Cream. I use the colour 01 and blend it all in over my face. This gives a really flawless look and gives me better coverage than anything else. 

I will be doing a review on this, very soon so keep your eyes peeled. 

I then use my They're Real Mascara and because I want it really natural so I dot flick the wand right up instead I do little flicks and make my lashes looker fuller and thicker. This works really well and if you would like a tutorial, comment below.

I then apply my Burts Bees Lip Balm which has a little tint just to give me lips more moisture but also it makes them look like I have a lipgloss on but don't. I reapply this during the day to keep them looking their best. 

And that's all I do! A few very simple steps and nothing else! It's really affordable and I will be doing a Dupe Blogpost so if you can't afford everything I will do a blogpost. 

The only thing that is really high end is my mascara, it's really worth it and lasts a very long time, defiently one to check out! 

Hope you enjoyed reading about how I make myself ready for the day and I don't look like a zombie! 

See you soon! 

Lots of Love,

Friends..

I'm not the most social person, I have friends, not the most, I'm not the most the most popular but that's the way I like it. I wouldn't want it any other way to be honest, as friends cause drama and drama interrupts your work and I would much prefer to save my social life for later on in my life. I sound like a work addict but I just believe work is so important, it determines how good you future is. 

I do love my friends and I wouldn't change them for the world. I meet up with them, see them during the day. 

I have had my ups and downs with friends but it's taught me a lot and I have spent some time with no one to go round  with at school so I went in the library and in those couple of weeks/months my grades improved and it just shows that small changes can have such a big effect. 

And I know you can't get through life with no friends but sometimes life is a challenge and you have to work it out. Luckily I have lovely friends now and they are really supportive but I haven't had a easy ride. 

I'm in no way attention seeking or looking for it but other people go through this and I felt alone. I would never like to feel like that again. I hope you understand this. 

One thing I would say is don't look desperate don't hunt for friends as they will never last long. People will come along as it's the people you don't think you will be friends with that you are actually friends with. 

Don't pressure people into being your friends and it will never give you a good reputation. 

I hope you enjoyed this short but sweet little blogpost and I will see you again so! 

Lots of Love, 

Darcey xx

My Shower Routine!

I love showers, I spend ages in there and really enjoy them, this is my thinking time! Pretty weird, I know! 

So first of all I stand under the shower for a couple of minutes and get my hair wet. 

Then I get a scrunchie and some body wash and rub it over my legs and under arms! Then I get my razor and shave my legs and under arms. I do this everynight as it doesn't take me long! 

Then I wash my hair and my body with the Radox Passion Fruit Splash body wash as this is very refreshing and you really feel clean afterwards. 

I wash my hair with Aussie Hair Products - see my hair routine blogpost. 

If I have something special coming up, I will use a body scrub a few days before. I love all the Soap & Glory ones, especially the sugar crush one. They normally have a offer on in boots so it maybe worth picking a few up.

My shower routine is very simple, but it has to be as I'm always really busy and I like to get a early night! 

I hope you enjoyed this and hopefully when the bathroom is finished, I will do a bathroom tour. But it might be a while yet! 

See you soon! 

Lots of Love, 

Darcey xx 

Evening Routine - School Time!

So after a long day at school and then doing your homework, all you want to do is relax. 

So after I have finished my homework, I will go and sit on the sofa, watch some TV or YouTube and relax. 

Then I will go and feed my little rabbit Lottie who loves to eat! I will give her a cuddle and sort her bed out ready for the night ahead so she's all snuggly. 

My mum or dad would have cooked dinner so I will go and wash my hands and eat dinner. If for some reason they don't cook dinner, I will cook it myself which can be dodgy as I'm not the greatest cook! 

Once I've eaten dinner, I will watch the news! Which seems very boring and not what you want to do but it's more for the weather and I was watching it a while ago and Zoe Sugg popped up so it's not always boring! 

Then I will go upstairs, take all my makeup off and have a shower. (Shower Routine coming soon). 

I will then do my skincare, moisturise all my body and lay my school clothes out for the next day or if it's a Friday I will check the weather for the weekend and then lay out a outfit which is normally trackies if I'm not going out! 

Then I will get a drink, climb into bed and go on my phone for abit and then sleep. 

I like to get a early night so I feel refreshed in the morning, I'm normally in bed by 9.15pm and asleep by 9.30pm. It doesn't take me long to get to sleep!

So I hoped you enjoy this and I will see you again soon! 

Lots of Love,

BACK TO SCHOOL SERIES

This is going to be very short and sweet, but I'm going to be doing a back to school series, to help you for when you return to school! 

I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! 

Lots of Love, 

Darcey xx 

Homework

Everybody hates homework, well most people do. But I'm in the minority that doesn't actually mind homework. Yes I'm weird, but I love learning new things and helps me have a better understanding of what's going on when back in the classroom! 

I hate mymaths! It's so boring and maths isn't my best subject but any other subject I will just crack on with it! 

The best thing to do is start it straight away, as soon as you get it, then you don't have to worry about it the night before like many people do! 

Also set yourself a limit, so for every hours work you do, you have a 10 minute break. So say to yourself you do 2 hours a night, which may sound extreme but it's a way of keeping on top of it and not worrying. I get in from school at around 3.20pm so by the time I've got in, hand a drink and snack is 3.30pm which means I'm done by 6pm at the latest. That gives me the rest of the evening! 

If you struggle with homework, ask for help, from teachers, parents, friends, anybody that you think can help and they will probably be happy to help! 

If you don't like doing it all after school, go to your library at school at lunch and do it there! It's probably the best place as you won't get distracted, there's lots of resources that can help you and it's quiet. It's a win-win situation.

Instead of keeping getting up and down, before you start, get your pencil case, your books, a snack and a drink so that you don't get distracted along the way, it's best to sit at a table away from anybody so they don't come and talk to you. The worst thing to do is get distracted.

TURN YOUR PHONE OFF! It may seem hard but you have all evening to go on your phone, twitter, Facebook, snapchat, anything you use can wait. Homework will help your education and education determines your future! Don't let your phone ruin it. 

Don't stress about it, if you stress, it will affect your work and then you will panic, seriously teachers will understand and don't tell them the day it's due in, tell them as soon as you can and I'm sure you can come to some agreement. 

I'm still at school and the last thing you want to do is come in from a day learning, to do more work but it will pay off and you just have to look on the positive side. 

I try to get it all done during the week but it's not always possible! So sometimes I do spend a couple of hours doing homework at the weekend! 

It's good to get into a routine young, like I did as I start my gsces in September so I will have lots of homework and it will really help being prepared and being used to homework. 

I hope homework doesn't kill you too much and I will see you again soon! 

Lots of Love, 

Darcey xx

My Morning Routine - School Time

6.15am my alarm rings, I roll over in bed, unplug my phone and check social media. Once all checked, I plug my phone back in so I know where it is and head downstairs. 

I normally have Coco Pops or Ready Brek for breakfast with a glass of water. 

Then I go up stairs, brush my teeth, do my skincare routine. 

Then I do my makeup (blogpost coming soon). 

I then get dressed, head downstairs and do my hair or if I'm feeling lazy or want my hair to look good then my mum does it! It doesn't really bother me that my mum does it and she does a better job! 

I'm normally finished my 7.05/7.15am depending on what I'm doing. Then I watch TV or do some last minute homework/revision. 

I then leave for School at 7.45am if my mum is working as I have to get a lift and my dad drops me off but if my mum isn't working I will leave at 7.50am to get there for 7.55am as I like to get there early to avoid the rush! 

Please check out my blogpost for my skincare routine, and if you have any questions please ask! Look out for my school makeup routine, coming soon! 

Lots of Love,

Darcey xx

Back to School Q&A

I know I have only just done a Q&A but this has been requested multiple times and I thought it was perfect for this week as I go back to school this week and so do alot of other people!

What beauty things do you put in your school bag?
I put in my powder and Real Techniques powder brush, a lip balm that i'm loving normally my Burts Bee, Soap and Glory hand sanitizer. I normally top up my powder at lunch but only if I need to. My lips always dry out so a lip balm is always with me! School is full of bacteria and I like to stay clean so I always have a hand sanitizer normally the Soap and Glory one because it smells so good! I also use a dry shampoo after PE and I use the Tresemme one as its transparent. So to make this work I also have my Tangle Teezer with me.

What do you put in your pencil case?
I have pens and pencils for writing, then I have my Oxford Maths Set, Scientific Calculator, 30cm Ruler, selection of Sharpies and Coloured Pencils. Also a rubber and sharpener. This may seem alot but I hate having to keep going up the front for things and it wastes time so then I have everything there. People always say i'm really selfish because I won't let people borrow my things as this when I always lose them and everything is so expensive and this way I can normally get all my stuff to last the whole school year and even the year after. So sorry but don't ask me for things!

What time do you wake up?
 I don't want to give too much away as i'm hoping once I've started school and got into a routine I will do a morning routine for school. But I wake up at 6.15am every morning. This is because I like to lay in bed before getting up, in this time I check my phone.

What is your school fragrance?
I don't really use a perfume but if I do it will be the One Direction, One Moment. But normally I will just use a Impulse Spray and i'm not too picky but I really like the Loving Words one and I will just put this in my bag to top up during the day.

How do you wear your hair for school?
I don't spend alot of time on my hair, if I forget its PE, before I start I will always chuck it up in a messy bun or ponytail. But normally I will either do a french plait all the way down my head or do half up, half down or plait 2 bits of hair at the front and then clip them back. But I like to have my hair out my face. I don't spend hours on my hair.

Packed Lunch or School Dinners?
Packed Lunches all the way! I hate school dinners, primary school put me off them as they were disgusting and never fresh. Also i'm the worlds fussiest eater! I'm so picky and it saves me worrying about what I'm having for lunch if I pack it at home. I just normally have a sandwich, yoghurt and a few snacks, Nothing big. I don't think I will ever eat school dinners, I don't even hair Christmas Dinner!

So I hope this has answered a few of your questions and you can find out my take on school. I will be doing one on Homework, so look out for that and my morning routine!

See you soon.
Lots of Love,
Darcey xx

Real Techniques - Make Up Brushes

I use a range of Make Up Brushes, but Real Technique brushes, are by far my favourite, they apply the makeup really well and give you a really good finish. 

    Even though they are a little pricey, its defiantly worth it, they last ages, and you don't have to keep          washing them. 

To see if I liked them, I just bought the core collection. This set consists of a Buffing Brush, Contour Brush, Foundation Brush and Detailer Brush.
The Buffing Brush is really good to apply foundation, I put a dot of foundation on my cheeks, forehead, nose and chin and then buff it all a round for a flawless finish.
I use the Contour Brush for bronzer, blusher and highlighter and it does the job incredibly well.
I actually use the Foundation Brush for concealer as with the pointy end you can really get to the corner of your eyes but also for blemishes.
I don't really use the Deatiler Brush for everyday as I use it for special occasion to apply the makeup just where I want it as its so small. But its also really good for applying lipstick.

I also use the powder brush, blusher brush and setting brush. 

The powder brush applies the powder evenly and you never look cakey. The blusher brush does the exact same but for blusher and its really big and light so you don't get the product all in one place. The setting brush, is amazing for setting makeup (Stating the obvious!) but for concealer it really puts it in place and it doesn't budge all day. Perfect for a busy day. 

Sorry I didnt post last week but I have been so busy, see you again soon. 

Lots of Love,

Beauty Q&A!

So as I havent done 'MiniMegs' as much as I liked to, I thought I would make the most of my time off and write loads! So my first one is a Q&A! I hope you enjoy.

Whats your beauty school essentials?
I like to keep my look really simple. For school I just wear a primer due to oily skin and a tiny bit of foundation with concealer. Then I will just put on some 'they're real mascara' from benefit and my burts bee lip balm.
To school I will just take my 'Stay Matte' powder for any touch ups but to be honest I never really feel the need to top up. I will then just take my lip balm with me in-case my lips dry out.
I really don't go overboard and never go for the 'cakey' look. Some people don't even realise i'm wearing makeup, I just wear it to cover any blemishes.

How do you make sure your lipsticks stays on for the whole evening?
First of all its all about preparation, make sure during the whole day you use lip balm so that you have really soft lips to help the lipstick glide on.
You then want to use your normal lip colour, lip liner to make sure there's something for the lipstick, to stick to. But make sure to cover your whole lip, not just the outline.
Then apply the lipstick you are wanting to wear.
If you are wanting a matte lip, just leave it there and make sure to take it with you as it may to start to fade.
If you are wanting a glossy lip, apply some lip gloss that is the same colour as the lipstick. Then take your lip-gloss with you to make sure you always have a glossy look.
I personally prefer to keep lipstick for special occasions and the winter but some people wear it all the time, its completely your choice. But normally I will just wear a really nice lip gloss.

What is the best high end foundation and which is the best low end foundation?
My best low end foundation is the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation, its really easy to apply and gives just the right amount of coverage I need. I will keep repurchasing this for years to come!

I couldn't decide between the high end foundation so I have chosen 4! Which maybe cheating but I use all of them on such a regular basis that I couldn't leave one out!
My first one would have to be the Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW! I'm the biggest Benefit Fan ever and you will soon realise this! This foundation just gives such a flawless finish like it says, its super easy to apply, looks really natural and really stays on for a long time, I couldn't ask for anything more!
My second one is also from Benefit! This is the Big Easy Multi Balancing Complexion Perfector, this is super easy to apply, doesn't cause alot of damage to the skin. I can also wear this without concealer, as it has such good coverage! Its defiantly one to invest in, you won't regret it.
SURPRISE! The third one is also from Benefit and this is my Hello Flawless, Custom Powder Cover Up! My mum bought me this and I really wasn't keen on it, I wouldn't even open it up, I thought it wouldn't give any coverage or even make my skin look better. It was like this for about a week, then I thought was it there to lose? So I tried it and I have not left it alone since, I was completely wrong, it gives amazing coverage, you don't need a concealer and it comes with a sponge and brush so its super easy to apply. I apply it with the sponge and then really blend it with the brush. I defiantly choose this, if i'm really struggling with my skin! I'm so please I tried it and it lasts forever!
SHOCK! My 4th favourite is nothing to do with Benefit and its from Nars. Most people talk about the Nars Sheer Glow but because my skin is oily, this didn't help so I went for the 'Sheer Matte Foundation' and I instantly fell in love. This has amazing coverage and I really look for this in foundation as you can tell and this doesn't leave any unwanted shine. Defiantly one to try out if you haven't already.

What celebrity do you go to, for makeup ideas?
100% Sam Faiers, i'm the biggest TOWIE fan and she always looks really elegant and flawless but still natural. I defiantly would like to have a few makeup lessons off her! If you don't know about her or not sure what i'm talking about go and check her out!
But I also don't just look at her for makeup, she is also a very good role model, she always helps others out and really knows what she is talking about. She always looks after people and generally does care but she also has the most amazing clothes! I defiantly look up to her and I think I always will. I don't want to be exactly her but I always think its nice to have someone you want to be like, so that you can always challenge yourself. Everyone has a different view. She is also extremely brave and really copes with things, she always has a smile on her face! When she was in Big Brother and was ill, she still smiled and made the most of it and I think that's the best way to live life! I bet she also looks up to somebody.

Wheres your favourite place to shop for makeup?
Superdrug or Boots 100% they always have really affordable things but also a little more pricey things. My local ones are really nice and the staff always recommend products and tell me how to use them and I think this is really important especially for young girls who are only just learning. I think the staff are better at boots but that is my opinion and its nothing against superdrug as the staff are always helpful. Also the local boots have more variety. But I love Superdrug too. Its your choice!

So I have only chosen 5 questions, but have answered them the best I can and if you have any more questions let me know and I will answer them next time!

Lots of Love,

Lemon & Ginger Chicken with Rice

Sorry, I didn't post yesterday but I wanted to wait until I made this dish so I could adapt to make it better. So I hope you enjoy my first ever cooking post! 

So I made Lemon & Ginger Chicken with Rice.

What you need: 

1 Chicken Breast per person 

Ground Ginger 

1 Lemon

White Rice

Squeeze all the lemon juice out of the lemon using a juicer or squeeze into a small bowl.

Cut all the fat, off the chicken and then dice it into small cubes. 

Mix the lemon juice and chicken together in a mixing bowl and gradually add the ginger into sprinkles. Add however much you like, to your preference. 

Mix all together until all the chicken is covered.

Leave to marinate for 45 minutes. 

While marinating put the rice into a saucepan and fill with water and mix then drain the water out, repeat 4 times or until the water isn't white, washing the rice.

Then fill the saucepan with water and leave the rice. 

Then add olive oil to a frying pan and add the chicken.

Cook until the chicken is white, cut in half to check (make sure it's a big piece). Add until the rice is soft.

Then serve & enjoy. 

Looks plain but full of flavour and very yummy!

Please tweet and Instagram me if you do make this recipe and let me know what you think. 

Lots of Love,

XFactor Auditions, SSE Arena, Wembley - Monday 4th August 2014

I briefly told you yesterday about my trip to Wembley to watch the XFactor Auditions, it was a very long day, with a lot to see but defiantly worth it! I had such a good time, I went with just my mum.

I woke up at 7.30am, did my makeup and hair and went off to the train station to catch the 9:09am train, to London Charing Cross. We bought a travel card for ALL zones. We got the Bakerloo Line (northbound) to Baker Street and then the Jubilee Line (northbound) to Wembley Park. It was really easy to get to the arena, you just follow the path round to the right once you have walked down the stairs, making sure not to go up the ramp. We got there with no problems.

The queues to get the tickets were very long and you would have to be waiting a very long while, luckily a group of girls had been upgraded to Priority Seating and they had 2 spare tickets, meaning we didn't have to queue. Result! We had 4 spare tickets and we felt really bad but nobody wanted them!
We walked round the outlet and it was really bad, there was nothing, it was busy and it wasn't really discounted!

I even got to meet Dermot!

We went to TGI Fridays for lunch, they were queuing to get in, but we got in with no problems and even though it was busy, the service was fantastic! We were seen quickly, the food was hot and really nice, and they got things really quickly! Bearing it mind how busy it was, this was fantastic!

We then queued to get in, we thought are seats would be bad, but they were fine and it was a really enjoyable show!

@officialroycey (twitter username, make sure to give him a follow) entertained us before the judges and acts came. He was extremely funny and time passed very quickly!

We then met the judges, Mel B, Cheryl & Louis. We were told Simon wouldn't be coming until later in the show. Mel B left to go somewhere, I can't remember where and then Simon came so there was only ever 3 judges, which was a shame but certainly made it more interesting.

Before we got sent to the doors, we watched a few people be interviewed and it was amazing to see how they are really like and how they respond!

It just shows you how much work goes in and all behind the scenes and its amazing! You get to see how people really feel and this gives you an impression about them, it was such a fantastic way to learn about different people!

The show was mean't to finish at 7pm but didn't finish til 8.30pm/8.45pm. People started leaving but we stayed right til the end and it was fantastic! Defiantly worth the trip.

We then got the tube back, the same way we came but in reverse and the train had already arrived. Perfect!

I wrote my blogpost on my way home, make sure to check that out as it involves YOU. http://darceymegs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/summer-scrapbook-project-2014.html

I was so hungry when we finally got back, it was 10pm and I was starving so I made my mum drive to McDonalds so I could get some tea. I had 3 Chicken Select Meal, yummy!

When I have been using the tubes for the day and been in dirty and busy places, I always make a real effort when I get in.
So I took off ALL my makeup, had a shower, washed my hair, used a body scrub in the shower to make sure my skin was super clean and then I did all the usual of brush your teeth etc. I made sure I did my hair care routine (http://darceymegs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/my-haircare-routine.html). I then used my body moisturiser as my skin was quite dry so this just helped things and I also did my skincare routine. Just to make sure everything was clean and nothing nasty and dirty was left in there.
Through out the day, especially after getting out a train station etc, I used my soap & glory had sanitiser as I didn't want any germs spreading, even though I have woken up this morning with a slight cold!
I always make sure to keep hydrated as you don't want to start feeling ill half way through the day, just carry a water bottle with you at all times, if you forget and cant get hold of water which I doubt, even a soft drink will help, even if its coke or lemonade. Just to keep you hydrated!

I didnt think I would get to bed before Midnight but I did and if you follow me on twitter you would already know that!

The 2 people, I managed to get pictures of. You can defiently see which one I like the most! The one in the blue shirt, has tried 3 times in Italy but didnt succeed and then he came over here and had the whole arena on their feet clamping, cheering and dancing! It was such a positive vibe.

Thank You all SO much for all your support, especially over the last few weeks, it means the world to me.

Much Love,

Summer Scrapbook Project 2014

I'm currently writing and posting this blogpost, on a train, on the way home from XFactor Auditions at Wembley Arena, it was such a fantastic night, and I can't wait to see it again on TV. 

This year, I wanted to make the summer memorable as I have a lot planned. So I wanted to keep the memories forever, the best way I thought I could do this is in a scrapbook! 

So I bought a A5 scrapbook and decorated with Laura Ashley samples out of their catalogue. I then covered it in sticky back plastic and I was ready to go! 

I take the pictures on my phone or camera and then print them off and stick them in! Sometimes I need 1 page, sometimes I need 2! So it all depends. You can style it how you like. I write down the event, the date and keys words. For example I went to Hickstead Royal International Show with my riding academy & I took a picture of Ben Dalton riding a horse so I printed it out and put underneath Ben Dalton & the name of the horse he was riding. It's that simple! You can use all different colours and shapes for pictures! You can do whatever you like! 

I have included the Hickstead Royal Intenational Show, A Trip to Hastings and I have a few more to add, including XFactor so that will be my job for tomorrow! 

I challenge YOU to do this scrapbook project you can make it as easy as you like but you could also sent yourself a challenge! Let's make Summer 2014 the one to remember! 

Use the hashtag - #DMSummer2014 on Instagram & Twitter to show me yours! Have fun! 

At the end of the summer I will do a whole blogpost on the things I have included! Don't forget to join in & I will see you soon! 

Have a good week.

Lots of Love,

Darcey xx

My Haircare Routine

First of all, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I was really busy and everything got on top of each other but now I will be posting like normal. 

When it comes to hair, I really focus on it and try to make it, look it's best, there's nothing worse than your hair looking awful. I strip it right back to basics, and don't use a lot of products. 

I adore the Aussie Collection, it's really well known and even though it's a little pricey, it defiantly does the job best. 

I use 2 shampoos, 1 conditioner and 2 treatments. One of which isn't Aussie! 

Every day I wash my hair, yes I know it's bad but my hair is very oily and needs to be washed, I have spoken to a professional and they said with your hair, it's most likely helping stable the oil so don't start moaning! 

Every other day, I will use the Aussome Volume Shampoo, then I use the Miracle Moist Conditioner. I will do this in the shower and really spend some time massaging it in and then really rinse it, I may spend a couple of minutes making sure it's all out. It may sound extreme but it really does bring out the full potiental. 

I then put my hair in a towel so it's damp, then I spray my hair throughly with the Miracle Hair Insurance - Lightweight Conditioning Spray. This just helps to protect and detangle my hair but also so it doesn't dry out. If I do have to dry my hair I will use the Toni & Guy Heat Protector, if not, I will just put it up in a messy bun, so it's out the way. 

Then every other day, when I'm not doing that, I will keep everything the same apart from my shampoo, it's still Aussie. It's the Miracle Moist Shampoo, the same as my conditioner. Everything else stays the same. 

I'm not one to experiment with products, once I've found one I like, I will stick with it, I don't see the point in having a chance to ruin your hair, it's yours for life. 

If you get really stuck and really struggling to find the one, ask your hairdresser they will be able to reccomend and they will know what will work best. It doesn't hurt to ask! 

Some low end hair products work really well and so do some high end, I think Aussie is the middle. Don't feel pressured to use anything you don't feel comfortable with, you will know what feels right. 

This is what I use, we all use what we want to and if you don't want to try this, you don't have to. It's your choice. Do abit of research and see what happens! 

I hope you have a fantastic week and I will see you soon! 

Lots of Love,

Darcey xx

GOING DEAD UNTIL FRIDAY

I thought I would take this time to tell you, what is happening from tomorrow until Friday. 

I'am going away for 5 days with my school year. We are all going camping and will be doing outdoor activities, it will be a fantastic week. There will be lots of us going including staff. I can't wait. We are going to have a fantastic time and I have already packed. I'm ready to go! 

Hopefully there will be a blogpost out tomorrow, however I cannot guarantee as I will be very busy. I have to be at school for 8.30am. 

I WILL BE POSTING NOTHING ON INSTAGRAM, TWITTER OR FACEBOOK. Do not not worry I will be back, I haven't stopped blogging. 

I cannot take my phone as I do not want to worry about taking it but also I will have no where to charge it. 

On Saturday morning I will catch up with everything so nothing will be missed! 

I hope you have a fabulous week and I will hopefully see you tomorrow! To all my friends going, I hope you have a fantastic time, if I do not see you before. I'm off now to relax before a very busy week ahead. I will be blogging about my trip after I get back. See you soon. 

Lots of Love

Summer Lovin' Tag

I watched Fleur DeForce's YouTube Video were she made up a Summer Lovin' Tag with a variety of questions! Eventhough she did this in a video, I thought I would love to do it as a blogpost! It is a very good tag so well done Fleur! 

There are 10 questions all about summer, which I will answer, so here we go...

Summer Lipstick you're loving? 

I have cheated on this one as I can't decide which one I love the most! 

The first one would have to be my Chanel Lipstick. In the colour, 18 Sexy. It's a lovely deep red, it goes on very well, lasts along time and it's just a great product! Defiantly worth the money! If you want a similar product, TopShop 'Rock Brighton' or 'Rio Rio' is very similar and is up there in my favourites! 

The next one is a affordable one from TopShop, I was put off by TopShop lipsticks when I bought the colour 'Saint' it's a pale pink lipstick. It didn't go on well and just didn't suit me. So I decided to go back and get the colour 'Macaroon' it's a lovely pink/coral shade and goes with everything. It lasts all day and if I can't decide what to wear, I will always wear macaroon. It's a lovely colour! 

TopShop lipsticks are my favourite affordable lipsticks, they aren't too pricey and are very good. They last all day and they are very easy to apply and when you do want to take them off, they do with ease. They are defiantly worth trying.

Summer nail polish you are loving this summer? 

I yet again can't decide which colour is my favourite! I have 3 and wear each colour for a week. They last for ages and the colours are gorgeous! They don't chip or wear away and they dry super quickly, perfect if you are in a rush! 

They are all from Rimmel 60 second drying selection! 

I have the colour 510 Euphoria, which is a very pretty colour but hard to describe. It's got shimmer in it and looks lovely on hands and feet. 

I also have the colour 198 Azure, this is a electric blue with shimmer! I love to wear this on my toes with flip flops on. It's really brightens your feet up, yes it may sound stupid but I feel more confident about my feet if I have this one on my toes. 

I also have colour 502 Hot Tropicana, this is a coral colour but with no shimmer, it's more of a shiney one but does look matte aswell. It's a very strange look but it does look lovely.

Below is a photo of the colours as I'm useless at describing! 

Bikini your loving this summer? 

Now I was really surprised about this one, my mum got this for me and at first I was unsure but now it's my all time favourite, if I was going to take one, it would be this one! 

It's from ASDA but it's such good quality, it really supports you where you need to be supported and it's very comfortable. 

The bikini top is a 2 straps that join together at the back of your neck so it gives you plenty of support. The bikini bottoms tie at the side and don't ever reveal anything so I don't have to worry.

It's rainbow colours and perfect for summer. The bikini top has little tassles all over the front of it and the bottoms have it at the side where they tie. 

Sorry it's not the best photo but you get the idea! Defiantly worth getting! 

Favourite summer Frappuccino from Starbucks? 

Mine would have to be the Chocolate Cream Frappuccino Blended Creme. This is amazing, I'm a chocolate fan and this have just the right amount of chocolate! This is so good and especially with cream on top! It's so good, it really does cool you down and this is what I love to get! 

We don't have a Starbucks really close to us but I do have a costa in walking distance and sometimes I will walk to costa from school or meet with friends there! So I love to get their triple chocolate creamy cooler! They are both my favourite and I just love them! Defiantly worth checking them out!

Favourite Fake Tan? 

Mine would have to be the Dove Summer Glow nourishing lotion with a subtle gradual self tanner. 

I used this for the first time yesterday, i saw it in Sainsburys, I hadn't heard anything about it, but I picked it up so that I could try it! This is the best thing I have ever bought! I get dry skin so fake tan really dries my skin out but this is a moisturiser with fake tan added in so it really looks after your skin and it also means I can just use this one night a week and use my normal moisturiser the rest of the week! 

It applies really easily, you never look orange. You rub it in circular motions, I applied it last night and woke up this morning with a very natural tan. Defiantly one to try out! 

Favourite summer song? 

This is probably, a lot of peoples favourite summer song. It's called Summer and is by Calvin Harris. It's a very good song, I listen to it every morning getting ready. I'm not the best singer but i do love to sing along. If you haven't heard which I would be very surprised about, look it up on YouTube! 

Favourite Summer Accessory? 

This sort of links in with the question above. It would have to be my Jack Wills Headphones, they are deep turquoise colour and I always have them on me and it's easy to tell which ones are mine! I got these ages ago but they are still going strong. 

Most earphones fall out my ears but these ones don't, they stay in and very comfortable. 

Defiantly worth getting and I love listening to music, especially in the summer! 

1 slight problem is that they are sound cancelling so if you are with people only put it one ear otherwise you won't hear them! 

But if you are like me and suffer from anxiety, they are great! I plug them in and use the calm app off the App Store! 

But I wouldn't be without them! They are my favourite ones, I haven't found another pair that I love as much as these! 

Favourite Summer Fragrance/Perfume? 

Mine would have to be the Our Moment by one direction. I got a taster of this in the shout magazine. I didn't really get why everyone was going crazy about it, it is a lovely scent and suits me. My auntie got it for me and if I want to make a real effort, I will spray this. People always ask what I'm wearing when I wear this. It's not too sweet, it's just perfect for me. If you are unsure what suits you, go and try a few out. That's what I did. It's just my lovely summer time scent! 

Summer Book your loving? 

Mine would have to be Fault In Our Stars,  I have already read the book twice, watched the film once. But I just love the book, it makes you realise how lucky you and how people live. If you haven't read it your certainly missing out! I cried at the film and book so get your tissues ready! Defiantly one to read and to watch! 

What are you most excited about this summer? 

I have a few things, one is I'm going away with the school today for 5 days until Friday. It is all outdoors and you do lots of different activities so I will be doing a blogpost about that, when I come back! 

Also doing a lot with DarceyMegs, i will be really working at it to make it the best, but also I have something that I'm working on and planning but I can't say yet. In a couple of weeks, I will know for sure so I can tell you guys! Wait and see! 

So that's all the 10 questions done! I really enjoyed it! 

I just want to say, thank you so much to everyone supporting me and I really hope you guys have a fabulous summer! See you soon!

Having a break.

I have had a massive break from Make Up for ages. I think its about 4 weeks, I have lost count!

The reason I have had a break, is my skin was becoming unmanageable, my skin was very oily and had alot of build up. The only way I could stop this at the time was to keep up with my skin care and not wear makeup as this can make matters worse. 

I drank alot of water and really looked after my skin, and still do, after a week, I saw the results, my skin was alot better and looking alot more healthy.

Please see my blogpost on my skin care routine - http://darceymegs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/liz-earle-skincare-review-and-my.html

I kept up with this and will continue to. 

With it being the last proper week of Year 8, I thought I would wear makeup. I'm not sure why, I just chose this time to start wearing it. 

Next week, I'am going on a residential trip with most of my school year. We are going camping for the week and are doing alot of outdoor activities. Which means that I wont wear makeup, I will just do skincare. So my skin does get another little break. 

However I never wear heavy makeup, I don't see the point, instead I wear natural and minimal makeup. If you would like a blogpost on my makeup routine please let me know, in the comments below. 

My skin never really suffers but any makeup, can cause problems. 

I hope you had a good weekend and have a fabulous week. 

Lots of Love,

Inspiration Awards for Women

Sorry it's a day late but I just didn't have time yesterday to sit down and write a blogpost as I wanted to make this the best one yet! 

The Inspiration Awards for Women celebrate the remarkable achievements of women who inspire those around them  either through social media or through their day to day life. 

The annual event, which happens every October is at the Cadogan Hall, Chelsea. The Cadogan Hall is the home for Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The evening is a glamorous, inspiring event, where people join together to celebrate all the good things, women do. You get to hear all the amazing stories, the songs planned by artists. It's a wonderful event, which really opens your eyes up to see how good some people are out there and how they go out of their way. You really can't get much better than that. They are all celebrated and treated equally and it's nice to know people who wouldn't normally get recognised do. 

And that's where you come in! You can nominate people for the inspiration awards for women by going on their website.  http://inspirationawards.co.uk/voting/index.php

There are many categories, so why not nominate that person which you think deserves to be recognised. Remember to explain why. All the information you need will be on the link so don't forget to go and look. 

I was looking through the past winners and came across the inspirational fundraisers. Andrea Burkhill was the winner last year and it links in well with my last blogpost 'Claudias Cause' because she is the one that has helped Claudia, updated a very large audience and raised money to help charities that have helped Claudia to get the vital research. She is a truly extraordinary person, who does everything to her very best and faces any challenge given to her. She really does go above and beyond to make sure her daughter and the charities have the very best. She will be holding a event to support Claudia but also she auctions things and does anything she can just so she can help. You really can't get a better woman than her. 

So what are you waiting for? Go and nominate who you think should deserve to win and you may just win. 

Don't forget to check out their website and what they do best, but also to crck out the winners to see what they did. This is very very close to me and I think it's amazing that you get a say in who can win. 

Lots of Love, 

Darcey xx

Claudia's Cause

Claudias Cause is a Facebook page, which I find a while ago. She is a little who was diagnosed in June 2011 with Metastatic PineoBlastoma (a brain tumour) and was only given 6 weeks to live. 

Her parents regularly update the page and at first they only had a couple of likes, nothing major and now they have over 258k likes. They are the most incredible family who are very brave and overcome any challenge given to them. 

A couple of days I logged onto Facebook to find out that Claudia was cured! She was cancer free! One of the first, it was incredible. I felt so relieved for the whole family. 

To celebrate they are holding a event in Lincolnshire. Please check out their Facebook page to know all the details and support them. 

Sorry it's so short but I had to tell you about them as they are an amazing, brave family.

Go and share your support.

Lots of Love,

Getting Healthy and Taking Up Cycling!

This is a new thing for me and I have decided that I need to get healthy and into a good shape. I have taken a few steps to do this such as eating less junk food, trying to eat 3 meals a day with a couple of snacks and drink plenty of water. If you would like a blogpost all about that then please let me know in the comments below! 

One of the main things that I'm trying to do is exercise! I already do horse riding and the odd little run but I really hate running so I do try to avoid it, not the best I know but in the summer I will be going out more often! 

I used to love cycling, I would cycle anywhere, I did this little 'training course' in year 6 at school and I really got into it and then when I started secondary school I really didn't have time because of all the homework etc. 

Anyway my dad was off last week and I asked him to pump up my tyres and make sure it was good condition. Very kindly he did and I got back on my bike and it was weird. It was like I had never stopped! I really enjoyed it and I cycled everywhere that day! 

I have kept it up and gone cycling a few times and my aim is to cycling atleast once a week! 

I know I will and probably go more but you have to take it in little steps! 

I hope you can come with me on my little journey. 

Have a good week and see you soon..

Lots of Love

Pottery Painting at Masterpiece Studio

So at the moment, I'am actually sitting in the pottery studio waiting for everyone I finish so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity so write a blogpost! 

So this blogpost is all about pottery painting! 

A couple of weeks ago, I came with my friend Molly and My Mum to do some pottery painting! I did a bowl with my riding academy logo and some spots (pictures below). 

So today I decided to do a matching plate with the same design and this one was defiantly more challenging. The paint was harder to apply, it just didn't feel the same but I got past the challenges and really enjoyed it! 

I also got my bowl back today, which is lovely and I'm really pleased as they have to go off and get glazed. 

I'm sorry this is very short but I will do a nice long one on MegsMonday! 

I'm also really sorry the pictures aren't the greatest quality but the lighting is terrible!

Sudocream

Your probably thinking I'm a right weirdo by the title but Sudocream is a life saver! 

If you can't afford an eye cream, use this, it's cheap and lasts ages but don't fall for the jupes as they are never as good. Every morning and night in my skincare routine I put this on my eyelids and under my eyes and on any blemishes. It makes concealer and eyeshadow go on easy and it does actually help it stay on. My blemishes go within days of having this on instead of weeks and I also put it on dry patches as my the morning it's a lot better! It's the miracle product.

Also if I know I'm going to have a no makeup day or a very good day with just very little makeup then the night before I will use this as a mask and apply all per my face after cleansing and toning then I wait about 10minutes and put my normal moisturiser on and this leaves your skin incredibly soft and minimises any red patches. 

Then in the morning I will just do my eyes, blemishes and dry patches after cleansing and before moisturiser. 

If you do not have this product, you need to go and buy some, your skin will defiantly thank you for it and you will see results within the first day. 

Below please tell me what you use and if you do use Sudocream what are your thoughts? Please do let me know and have a group discussion. 

Sorry this is short but we have the plumber replacing our boiler so there is a lot of nojse and dust and not the best way to blog in as I like to do it peace and quiet! 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed my blogpost, please check it out if you haven't seen it already and I will see you during the week!

Family Day

I'm afraid this one is going to be short but sweet but it will be about my family afternoon! 

This morning I woke up quite early and sorted out the rabbit hutch so Lottie (my princess rabbit!) could go back outside. I was very pleased with myself as I managed to carry the separate pieces and put it all together with no help! Lottie might have an eye infection, I have looked on the internet so I might be taking her to the vets tomorrow afternoon:( I hate when any of my pets have something up as I feel really bad:( Hopefully she will be ok and the vet will help her! 

She explored her hutch as she hadnt been in there since Novemeber so she was quite shock but she soon settled in. I kept all her tunnel and things so it wasn't a complete shock but I don't think  I will sleep tonight as I like to know she's safe in the house! I'm sure she will be fine.

Yesterday I really deeped cleaned it with the house to get rid of anything that wanted to try and stay with the lovely help from my neighbours! 

I then got dressed ready for the family to come over for Fathers Day and My Brothers 18th! We had my Auntie & Cousin over but my Uncle was taking my other cousin to do a week with a farrier as that's what he wants to do when he leaves school! It was very quiet without them:( 

My Grandpa got his present which he loved and my dad cooked a BBQ with one hand with help from my brother as his hand has swollen up and nobody knows why! We all sat inside as it went very cold and we chatted and just did the general. Then my auntie and cousin went to see my uncle and then my grandma and grandpa went but Rob is still here but I can't remember how we are related:/ 

I just like to have family days and just chill and it was really nice to catch up and get a few clothes from my lovely cousin. 

This didn't really end up short but it doesn't matter, see you tomorrow for MegsMonday!
