TROUBLE IN NYC!

HEYYY!

So last week I flew to JFK, then got on a coach and drove for 6 hours down to Killington, Vermont. We stayed in the mountain inn, just a five minute bus ride to the slopes! The week was going by fast and there hadn't been any issues until the Wednesday night.... Everyone went into the lounge area and we were told our flight home has been taken out of circulation:( So we would be stuck in new York for an extra day, which I didn't mind because it meant extra shopping! We then got to the day of our flight home and had checked out our hotel and were doing our last bits of shopping when our flight for that evening got cancelled! So for an hour we sat on the red steps in NYC, and waited until we knew what was happening next!

We got onto a coach and drove for 45 minutes to Newark airport, where they put us up in a lovely hotel for the night. We spent the next day lounging around the hotel, catching up on sleep and re-packing our suitcases 300942 times! Later that evening we then got a flight home after a two day delay! I didn't mind spending the extra days in USA because I missed two days of school however over the course of the week everyone had become very close with all the teachers and learnt a lot about them. One teacher had missed his sons birthday and over hearing his son on face time saying "daddy I miss you, when will you be home?" is heart breaking, but we were stuck there and couldn't help. Then he had to spend his birthday as well over in the USA because of our flight being delayed, which obviously wasn't bad... but he missed his family and wanted to be with them. However the most heart breaking came from my favourite teacher on the trip, not only was he my group leader, but he is the loveliest kindest person ever!

His son isn't very well, and when he spoke to him everyday he would end up walking away with a tear in his eye. For a teacher that doesn't cry really shows that being stuck there doesn't just effect our education but also these teachers are missing there children grow up, and its not the same from millions of miles away. I know my teachers wont read this ( I will make sure they don't;)) but I want to say thank you to everyone who went on this trip it was truly amazing and I have made so many new friends, whom I wish to keep for ever <3

This trip has really opened my eyes to new things, people you can and cant trust, new friendships, memories that no-one else will ever have, new foods, i've learnt how to ski!! I guess its un-describable how amazing this week has been your going to just have to believe me!

On Wednesday should be a make-up haul from Mac and Sephora in NYC!!

p.s I officially hate BA:)

Flying to America OOTD!

Heyoooo,

 

So first of all because of exams at the moment my blog posts haven't been going up on a Wednesday when they should and that's because I've been super busy with course work and revision for my mock exams... yay I love taking GCSEs early...not! So sorry about that if you like to read my blog... oh wait no-one does:) I just like write to entertain my self.
 

So next Saturday the 14th of February, valentines day, I am flying to NEW YORK! And then driving to Killington ski resort, to obviously go skiing, and then drive back to new York for shopping! So I thought that why not do a blog post on my outfit that I will be wearing on the aeroplane, because well if you are like me and are nosey then you will like this!

  

Okay so ill start at the bottom and on my feet I am wearing my timberland boots which I got for Christmas. I am wearing these because not only are they comfy but when I land the other end there will be snow so I can 'try' and not slip which saying this will result in me falling on my bottom! My leggings are from Miss Selfridge and are high waisted, they also have little turn up bits which I think are super cute because they sit just above my timberlands:) I love the design of the leggings because its different and I guess stands out to what I normally wear because im a jeans girl. Not forgetting that leggings are super comfy to fly in, and you can curl up and sit on your knees and be lazy!

 

 Then I am wearing a simple thin strap vest top from Next which is really soft underneath a floaty, thin jumper?! It is like a long sleeve top but is yet like a jumper? It is quite baggy and is good for layering so I am wearing this because I can add an extra hoodie over the top or my ski coat! This top/jumper item thing is from h&m and it was a bargain buy!

 

I know this was a short post but I guess that's all I can say about an outfit? I will try and link all the items below for if you want to check them out!

January favourites 2015!

HELLLLLOOOOO :0

 

So it has come to the end of the month, a very busy hectic month. I have been back at school, had blood tests, had injections... you name it I've probably had it! So I decided to come online and write a little post about my January favourites! If you were wondering why there was no post on Wednesday then this is why, I was waiting until today so that on the last day of January I can post about the things I've loved and share them with the internet.

 

One of the things I have really been loving is the Ted Baker London body spray. Now this spray is scented with Rose, sandalwood and juicy raspberry, which let me tell you....IS SO AMAZING. The scent is quite strong yet in one spray at a time you can really identify the different scents which I love! I currently have the travel sized bottle because then I can carry it in my make-up bag for school, and apply after physical education or just when I want to freshen up. I find though that the smell will sty on me all day with a couple of sprays in the morning an it will last until I change into my pjs!

 

 

Next on my list is a book by Sue Townsend. This book is one of my all time favourites and I had lent it to my brother back in November, the only problem being he is the worlds slowest reader!! So when he gave it back to me I decided to re-read it due to it being in such an easy format to read and the layout is so engaging. So within two evenings I had re-read the whole book! The book is called 'The growing pains of Adrian Mole'. Now many people know this as being a boys book yet I love it! its a moving diary of Adrian's year and how he grows up and the issues he faces. I love the adult humour, which is why I think that it is so engaging. I would all honestly rate this book 9.9/10!

 

 

My next product is beauty related as well as related to my idol! One of my idols is Tanya Burr, whom is a very inspirational woman and I cant start to explain how proud I am of her and how far she has come. I am talking about her beauty range. I own 8 of her products now 3 lip glosses and 5 nail varnish's. One of my absolute favourites that I have been wearing all of January since I received it for my birthday (January 9th) is Penguin chic. The colour I would say is a mix of grey, blue and brown?! I like this colour around this time because it is still a wintery colour but I find it warm and autumnal and who doesn't love a bit of that! I love not only the colour but also the application of the product. The brush has just the right size thickness because I can paint one half of my finger and then the other in two strokes, which I find very beneficial because it means I get in all the awkward crooks and crannies. The packaging as well makes it super easy for storage because it fits nicely into my nail varnish box on my dressing table! I would recommend all of Tanya's product even if she wasn't my idol because they are that amazing. I am going to do a post reviewing all of Tanya's products that I own, so come back soon! ( Tanya's Twitter: @tanyaburr )

 

 

Next is the Bourjois Paris, Bronzing powder. Everyone used to rave about this product and I have only just bought it, so yes I'm a bit behind like normal... However I totally understand why people love this product! The packaging first of all is sooo CUTE! I love that its like a little book, hiding away and then as soon as you open it BAM! The sweet smell of French chocolate hits you.... But not only that the bronzer its self looks like chocolate, I could eat it. I apply this with the Real techniques Contour brush and the application is so smooth and easy. The only thing I would say is that when I bought the product I didn't realise that there was more than one shade available and so I bought the lighter one, yet I need darker! However for the winter it is doing its job nicely!

 

 

The next thing on my list is my phone case. Now I know this is a weird favourite to have but I love it and so I felt like including it. At Christmas I was given an amazon voucher from my school to say thank you for being an Anti-Bullying ambassador and so I came straight home and ordered a new phone case because I've had mine for a year and it is a bit old and worn out. So I was searching for ages when I came across this one. Now I have a cat, and I am completely addicted to them so why not add to that by getting a cat phone case. My case has the writing 'BECAUSE CATS' written in the centre which is in a hand written font. Then all around this is cartoon cat heads in black and white. The case is a snap case so I have to be even more safe not to drop it now!

 

 

The final item on my January favourites had to be food/drink related! So I am going to write about something I have every single day! Green tea, but not any green tea... Green tea with mango and passion fruit! I love this tea because the flavours are all so different yet complement each other so its a lovely taste. I normally have one when I get in from school or at 8pm so that my head is awake?!

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and all had a lovely January! I cant wait to see you in febuary, have a lovely weekend!
