Massive Haul

In this post, I'm going to share with you all the things I bought on my trip. 

On Tuesday, we went to Anfield (Liverpool's football stadium) and I didn't want to go there at all but afterwards my dad bought me a hoodie and I love it so much. 




I don't even support Liverpool but it's so warm and cosy and a really nice colour. I need a new hoodie as well. It was £45. 

Before McBusted, on the same day, we went into town for tea and we went into a couple of shops as well. 




I went into H&M and was just looking around and saw this t-shirt. I've wanted one like this for quite a while because they are so practical. It's just in the style of a baseball shirt (I don't know if that's the actual style but I just call it that!). It's a bit baggy and you can wear it with probably anything. It was £9.99. 




I also looked at the makeup section and saw this eye crayon. It's a gorgeous champagne colour and it's amazing for an everyday neutral look. This was £2.99. 

We then went into Waterstones and bought two books. 




I went in to get The Pointless Book 2 because I really wanted that since it came out a few days before (£8.99) and then I saw The Glam Guide by Fleur de Force. I had to get it (£14.99). 

Then, later that evening when we were at McBusted, I bought some merch. 




First, I bought and OMFG tin for £20 and inside there are stickers, a poster and a blow up hand thing. I bought one last year when I went so I can have them standing together in my room. 




I bought a wrist band as well for £4 but it's not the best quality and it's one of those ones where once you've done it up, you can't undo it again. I made the mistake of doing it up quite tight and I really really struggled getting it off! 




Obviously, I had to buy a programme (£10) because it's just a must have for a concert! 




And last of all, I bought this OMFG tank top for I think £15. It fits really well and I think it compliments my boobs very well! 

When we went to Cadbury World we bought some things, as I mentioned in my last post about the trip. 






I bought a big bar of Dairy Milk and a packet of Chuckle Beans which is also just plain Dairy Milk. They have both already been consumed! And as the whole family bought so much, we got given two teddy bears! (This has made me really want some chocolate but it's okay because it's Easter tomorrow so I shall get lots of Easter Eggs!)

Then on the Thursday, we went to Cribs Causeway to do some more shopping. 






First of all, I went into Lush and bought Honey Bee Bath Bomb for £3.35 which I have never tried before so I wanted to give it a go. It also smells amazing! And I also bought Golden Egg Bath Bomb for £3.75 which I have tried before and I really liked it. The only thing that's annoying is all the glitter. You have to rinse your bath out after using it! But the smell of it makes up for it. 

I then went into H&M again and bought a few more things from there. 




I bought some of these ballet socks for £5.99 which I think is bloody expensive for 5 little pairs of socks but I needed these for when I wear my vans and stuff. 




I bought this fitted neon yellow tshirt just because it's basic and goes with pretty much anything. It was £3.99. 




I got this loose, baggy cardigan and this will be perfect for the spring and summer when it's not cold but it's not hot and you can just throw it on with anything. I got back because it's the most pratical and goes with literally everything. This was £7.99. 




The last thing I got from H&M was these comfty, grey shorts. They are the comfiest shorts ever and they are perfect for lazy summer days. They were £7:99. 

Then we went into WHSmith. 




I picked up some Mini Eggs because these are my favourite Easter chocolate and they're only £1. 




Then me and my brother bought some Frixon rubbing out pens for £3 each for school. 

Then I went into HMV and was looking through the DVD section. 




I saw Epic there for only £4.99 and I grabbed it straight away because I've wanted this ever since I saw it in the cinema. And it's such a good price. 

The last place I went to was Boots and I had a splurge on some makeup and beauty things. 




I bought the Simple eye balm because I bought this before but I can't remember what it was like and I needed an eye balm because I get really puffy eyes. This one reduces puffiness which is good. It was £4.49. 




I bought the 17 Cheek Stamp in Stare Struck for £4.99 because my friend Jodie who I have mentioned many times before on this blog bought it the other day and said it was really good so I decided that I wanted to try it too. 




From Collection, I bought the Work the Colour Lip Butter in the shade Cappachino. I already have this in the shade Popping Pink but I'm really into nudes at the moment and wanted to get this one. It was £2.99. 




Also from Collection I bought the Eyes Uncovered Eye Shadow Palette in Nude Bronze because so many people have been saying it's amazing for it's price and it really is. I tested it out and all the colour are so beautiful and they are really pigmented. It is £3.99!! 




I've wanted a Maybelline Colour Tattoo for so long now and finally I have got one! It's in the shade On and On Bronze and it's really pretty but the one I did really want was the colour Pink Gold or something like that. It is £4.99. 




The last thing I bought was a Barry M Speedy Quick Dry Nail Paint in the shade Pit Stop because I bought another shade before in Eat My Dust which is on my nails in the photo and I really liked it. This colour is a really nice, muted grey-brown colour. It was £3.99. 

I really hope you enjoyed reading this post and I will be posting more soon.

Cadbury World

On the Wednesday of my trip, I went to Cadbury World in Birmingham. I've been there once before but I was too young to understand what was happening. All I wanted to do was eat the chocolate! This time, I had a proper look around in all the exhibits and learnt some new things. I didn't take that many photos because in some places you weren't allowed to take them but I did take some and I will share them with you. 






The tour took you on a trip back in time to where chocolate began and how Cadbury was invented. Cadbury was named after John Cadbury (I think!) and he first started in a tiny shop in Birmingham. 






That is his shop there. 

In one part, we were given a cup of melted chocolate and we could put something in it. I wanted to put in mini marshmallows so it was like a chocolate fountain. 




It was very nice! 

At the end, we went into the shop which is the biggest Cadbury shop in the world! I bought a couple of things but they will be included in my next post which is a haul of all the things I bought on my trip. 










Thanks for reading!

McBusted

Tuesday night was the best night of my life. McBusted is my favourite band in the whole entire world and the concert was amazing. 




The stage was utterly fantastic! It's literally a massive arcade game!! They actually played a video game n the middle of the concert!! 




They came down into the middle of the audience to do a few songs and I was so close to them! Like 3 metres away!!

The setlist is fantastic and all the merch is brilliant. 

Also, Tom looked at me and raised his eyebrows in like a 'sup' way and Danny stared into my eyes for like 2 seconds and I died!

I don't know how I can describe how much I enjoyed the concert. I love McBusted so much and their concerts are one of my favourite things about them. 





Travel Essentials

On Monday, I traveled over 6 hours to Liverpool. As it's a long journey and I 'm stuck in a car for hours, I will need things to do and food to eat. So I'm going to show you what things I take to keep myself entertained.



I normally take this bag in the car as it can hold a lot of things. 




I usually get a magazine for the road trip which keeps me occupied for about an hour! 




I take one or two books. The one I'm currently reading and the one that I will read afterwards just in case I finish the first book during the trip. At the moment I'm reading Let It Snow and the book I'm going to read next is called The Kissing Booth. 




I also take one or two notebooks so I can doodle or just write things in to remember. This notebook in particular is my blogging notebook! 




A must have for me and probably for most people is earphones or headphones. I always need these because I need to block out my dad's awful music and fill my ears with the lovely music of McBusted. 




I also always need sunglasses because if the sun is shining, you won't be able to see without them! 




The sort of food I eat on a road trip is shortbread and chocolate. And other unhealthy things! 

So those are my travel essentials. Let me know what some of your essentials are in the comments! 

Cheerio! xx

My Summer Bucket List

I'm looking forward to summer. I wish it was summer right now. Summer is my favourite season because there isn't any school, I get a tan (which i really need as it seems I am quite a bit paler than all my friends!) and the weather is amazing. It's only now spring and I've already got a summer bucket list because I'm so excited and I thought I would share it with you all.

1. Back garden tent camping.
I did this last year at my friends house and it was so fun and I really enjoyed it. I just think it's a fun thing to do with your mates but make sure its a warm night otherwise it might have to have lots of layers.

2. Play with bubbles.
It may sound weird but playing with bubbles is actually really fun! Especially if you have the ones that make massive bubbles.

3. Make homemade ice cream.
I've always wanted to do this because it seems really cool and you can make up your own cool flavours.

4. Picnic in the park.
This is a really cute idea to do with your friends or partner. It can be really fun or it can be quite romantic if you go late at night.

5. Make a homemade water slide.
This is something I really want to do just because it' really simple to do and it can occupy you for ages (well it can for me!).

6. Go on a scavenger hunt.
This is kind of a weird one but it would be really fun just to run around your garden with friends or family searching for things to win a prize at the end.

7. Go on a walk.
A very simple thing but it can keep you fit in the summer months and sometimes the views are amazing and a perfect photo opportunity.

8. Go on a bike ride.
This is also something that can help you to keep fit and it's fun to do with friends and family.

9. Go to the park.
This is something simple to do when you're bored and your friends are bored.

10. Feed the ducks.
This is actually really fun if there are no seagulls around!  You could go with friends or a younger family member to entertain them.

11. Build a fort.
This is very childish but very fun at the same time. One you have made it you can have a sleepover in there and have midnight feasts and all sorts.

12. Have a water balloon fight.
This is also something that I really want to do because its just so fun! (I feel like the only descriptive word i have used in fun! Sorry!)

13. Play frisbee.
You can do this absolutely anywhere. The beach, the park, anywhere.

14. Go to the beach.
This is something that obviously going to be doing this summer but just it has to go on this list anyway.

15. Go star gazing.
Doing this can be so romantic with someone special but it can also be exciting with a friend.

16. Tie-dye t-shirts.
This is something that I have wanted to do for so long! It's just so cool and I would wear it all the time!

17. Go cloud watching.
Some people may find this really boring but I haven't really done it before. I just find it really cool to find shapes in the clouds and sometimes they're quite funny!

18. Go bowling.
This may seem like a more wintry thing to do but I love doing this all year round even though I'm terrible!

19. Play in the sprinkler.
This is one of my favourite things to do and all you need is the sprinkler!

20. Make a movie.
This is something to do through out the whole summer. It's more like a project.

21. Play messy twister.
I want to do this so bad! It would be so funny and cool to do this with friends.

22. Have a movie night.
Having a movie night is good fun all year round but you will be able to stay up later in the summer as there is no school. (For me though, I still won't be staying up late because I get so tired!)

23. Have a BBQ on the beach.
The summer is basically the only time you can do this and in my opinion it is amazing! What's better than sitting on the beach with your friends eating a burger?

24. Fly a kite.
Simple but a good thing to do on those winding days. Just don't go near any trees!

25. Make a new friend.
I don't really know why I want to do this but I just feel it's a really cool thing to do. Especially in summer.

26. Play mini golf.
I always do this when I go on holiday somewhere. And I love doing it with my brother and my cousins (that's not just because I always win ;)).

27. Play in the rain.
This is great for those days when it's hot but it's raining. I don't like the rain when it's cold but when it's warm, it's really fun.

28. Have a water balloon fight.
This is something else that I really want to do this summer with my friends on a really hot day to cool down.

29. Take loads of pictures.
I obviously will do this everyday but just to make sure I do, it's on this list!

30. Get a tan.
Hopefully, I will be able to get a tan like I do most years but there's something about being more tanned that makes me feel more confident.

31. Kiss someone.
Okay, I know this is really weird but I saw it on someone else's summer bucket list and thought 'Hmm, it would actually be really romantic to kiss someone while watching a sunset!'

32. Go to aquarium.
This is for the day when the weather isn't the best but you want to go out and do something. I love going to the aquarium because I think it's really cool.

33. Watch a sunrise/set.
This is more romantic so you would probably do this with your loved one. I don't have a boyfriend so I will probably do this with a best friend.

34. Dip dye my hair.
Me and my friend Jodie (check out her amazing blog - http://jomilybeauty.blogspot.co.uk/ ) have wanted to do this for so long! I've been googling pictures and looking at pictures on Pinterest also and I think I'm going to get either lilac or teal.

35. Go for a boat ride.
Jodie has also got a boat and she said we can go on it in the summer so that's going to be super fun and also me and my family sometimes go on a boat trip to Falmouth

36. Use an under water camera.
I don't have one of these but I really want to buy one and use it in the sea and take really cool pictures with friends.

37. Have a photo shoot.
This is amazing fun to do with your besties and you just need a cool background and you can use those pictures that you put on sticks like a hat, speech bubble or lips.

38. Have a paint fight.
Another messy one but if you parents are brave enough to let you do it, it's brilliant and a really good laugh.

39. Get a tan tattoo.
I wanted to do this last year but I never did. I'm not too sure what you actually use to get one so if you have any ideas, please let me know in the comments.

40. Make a scrapbook.
This is another summer project or something after summer had just gone. Just to remember all the amazing memories you had over the summer holidays.


So that's my summer bucket list of 2015.
I'm really sorry that I haven't been posting as much recently, it's just because I've had school and it's been very stressful. But luckily, it is now the Easter holidays and in 3 days I will be going up to Liverpool. I think I have planned about 7 blog posts to upload about my trip so you can look forward to that.


Cheerio! xx
