The School Play

For the past 4 years of my life, I have been involved in the school's musical that is put on every February. That one week in February is the best week in my school calendar. It begins with a Saturday and Sunday of rehearsals, mixed with Dominos pizza deliveries and banter with my favourite people. The Monday and Tuesday are non-uniform rehearsals, with Tuesday being a dress rehearsal to local primary schools and then adjustments in the afternoon. The rest of the week is fueled with coffee, tea and the excitement of the evening show and the laughter that comes with it.

I also get to play the flute, which is always fun, watching my favourite people on the stage, doing an amazing job. Rehearsals are in full flow at the moment and have been since September.

But when I leave school, I will step out of my comfort zone of the school plays and venture on to new things, better things, but the school plays will always be my favourite part of school (other than the carol service)

Stay happy,

November Favourites

Hi everyone,

I thought I would show you some of the things I have been loving these past few months, because there are a few things I really have been loving!

Maybelline Lash Sensational
This has to be the best mascara I have ever used. It gives so much volume and you don't have to curl your eyelashes, even though I tend to because it is a habit! I also love it because it makes me look more awake and during term time, that is exactly what I need! However, due to overuse, the packaging has started to disintergrate slightly, leaving a pink glitter on my hands!

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion +
I recently rediscovered this after using my simple rich moisturising lotion and the garnier dry skin moisturiser and I must say that I wish I hadn't stopped using it. It makes my skin so smooth and has cleared up all of the dry patches on my face, especially my eyelids, which were so dry because of an eyeshadow phase I went through earlier this year! It is perfect for winter and I will keep using this!

Soap and Glory Original Pink Body Spray
I bought this the other day and it smells so good. It is the travel size which, from Boots, is £4.00. I don't think that is bad and you get a lot for your money. The full size is £10.00, but the travel one is much more convenient as I can carry it in any bag I want, whenever I want.

Baby Lips Sugar Apple Lip Balm
This lip balm smells so good! It smells like apples, but in a sort of mulled wine sort of way. It is tinted, which for me is quite nice, even though I cannot wear it to school. It is such a christmassy colour and the packaging is so cute that I am going to buy more of these so that when they leave the shelves, I will still have mine!

Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Makeup Remover
I have spent many hours scrubbing off my eye makeup, especially as my mascara is waterproof and a good waterproof one at that. Makeup wipes irritated my eyes and Garnier Micellar water wouldn't budge my mascara. This, however, romoves all of my eye makeup, without any residue on my face and it isn't greasy! I still use my micellar water for my face if I wear a lot on a certain day, but usually I will just use water. Thank you Garnier because I finally remember the feeling of having clean eyelashes!

Adele 25
I am a huge huge huge fan of Adele and I have been since her first song came out. I am looking at getting tour tickets to go with my friend and I cant wait! I won't say to much about the album, because I am going to do a track-by-track review later on, but what I will say is that it is exactly what I needed in my life!

Boohoo.com
I have always liked Boohoo's clothing range but at Christmas, it seems to be even better! There is such a good choice and I always buy

Stay happy,

Dear November

Dear November,

Thanks for this month. Although in the UK we have just started naming our storms, we have already had storm Abigail and storm Barney. However, apart from the British thing of moaning about the weather, this month has taught me a lot.

For example, I have learned that the people who I think don't like me, actually do like me and it is all in my head. Also, I have learned that you can buy your own gingerbread lattes to make AT HOME! Crazy, I know.a

I have applied for both of my chosen colleges and have an interview in approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. I am looking forward to it because I am talking about my life and I know the most about that subject.

I have made some amazing friends, been to parties, secured friendships and laughed more than you could ever know. I also have cried quite a lot as well. I'm good at that!

I have thought of Christmas a lot, I have planned things and I have less than 24 hours until I am investing in 3 Adele tour tickets. OMG. I cannot wait.

So thank you November, for being great. I hope that December is just as good.

Stay happy,
Katie xx
