Lifestyle: T.G.I.F


                                  Five Friday Favourites

Alohaaa and happy Friday to you! The weeks are flying in! I can’t believe I only have three weeks left in semester one, I'm excited for my assignments to be finished so I can just relax. Until then I just have to plough through it :) I’m drafting my November favourites hopefully tomorrow so they will be up before December starts!

Fave quote

There will always be someone who will love you unconditionally whether it’s your family, best friends or whoever it is to you. However, It is extremely hard to remember this when you’re not feeling appreciated, wanted and even loved by a person you have all those feeling for. Saying this if the person who's making you feel worthless really did care about you, they would never make you feel bad. As the saying goes to the world you are one person, but to one person you are the world, it really is so true. You should never let anyone dull your sparkle.
Fave day: On Tuesday I went to see catching fire with my best friend Tara. We LOVE the hunger games trilogy, I even waited until she came home from Amsterdam so we could see it together! I’m happy to say I adored the film and I am already dying to see it again! Peta is my favourite character in the trilogy, he is just so loveable I wish he was mine :( haha. I’ve read the trilogy but even with this I was blank on some of the scenes and it took a while for me to remember, I might have to re-read the last book before the next film! Definitely go and see the film if you seen the first one and liked it. The acting is brilliant, to be honest the hole film is spectacular. It’s truly worth the watch.


Fave song: Beach Baby- Bon iver.

Do you ever forget how much you love an artist until you find them again? This always happens to me. I don't think Bon Iver gets enough credit, I really need to see him live! His voice makes me very nostalgic and always brings me back to be sixteen when I was first shown him. Bon Iver’s voice is so calm and soothing I just adore him. Beach baby is a really short song nonetheless it is one of my all-time favourites.

Fave laugh:


This makes me laugh because I can hear her saying it to either Chuck, Dan or her minions haha. I miss gossip girl so much! Blair’s quick one liners always made me laugh, long live queen B.

Someone take me to this place, please?

                                         Five Friday Faves.

 

Alohaaa and happy Friday to you! At the start of the week I hate to say that I was seriously stressed, I have a few assignments coming up and I was freaking out about making time to fit them all in. I tried to do three of them at the same time and crashed. However, I’ve made a better study plan and I am getting through the assignments day by day. I’m SO glad it’s finally Friday, I have the day off work and college so I am going to get some serious work done…hopefully haha. I’m hoping next week will be less stressful! I’m going to see Catching Fire on Tuesday with Tara so that’s something to look forward too! Now to my five Friday favourites :]

Fave quote

I am guilty when it comes to always looking ahead, I always put the future before the present and take days for granted some times. In my opinion it could be worse, I would hate to be one of those people that lives in the past and is always dwelling on it! I just love planning things, and knowing exactly what’s going on! But maybe I should live more in the moment, I have been this week literally taking things day by day. In doing this I’ve found my days to be less stressful because I’m just going with it and seeing where the day takes me
Fave song: The artic monkeys why do you only call me when you’re high. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIKQqvt-sWM  
I am obsessed with this song, I heard it in work a few weeks ago for the first time and ah the album is so so good. I just love his accent he makes every word so cool. Especially when he says simmer down and pucker up.
Fave laugh

Oh god I found this pun page on facebook during the week, and the puns are so stupid that they are funny if you get me?
Fave thing: Film- spike island. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsrZk99s9LY#
I adore this film I don’t know what it is but I love the cast, the storyline and the soundtrack. It’s an easy film to watch, it’s funny with a good story line and lovable chararcters, check it out if you are interested! Also because of the film I have fallen in love with Elliott Tittensor and the Manchester accent! haha

Roses are my favourite flower of all time, I don’t even know why I just think they are so classy and gorgeous. I walk by a stand with amazing roses on it every day and I’m always tempted to buy a big bunch but I hate it when flowers die! Maybe I’ll get a fake rose or maybe just cave in a buy a bunch.
So they were my Friday faves what are yours?
Au revouir until next time

                                                        Five Friday Favourites.

Alohaaa and Happy Friday to you! I’ve had a busy week between starting back college, trying to do some college work and then balancing actual work, but I’m driving through it all! I just need to stay positive and keep moving forward :)

 
Fave quote:


I actually love this qoute. This is a perfect quote for people who look down on further education because they feel like going to university is pointless, and or a waste of time. I’m sick of people saying to me it’s not what education you have, it’s about who you know. This can be true half of the time in Ireland as regard to part time jobs, but it is not true with every job. I would like to think that when I get my degree and go out into the full time workforce, the work I’ve done will stand to me rather than knowing a friend or the owner. As for being overdressed, it is always nice to look nice, classy is better than trashy in my eyes haha.

Fave song: Monster  by Rhianna and Eminem. I love this song because it’s so catchy! My little sister showed it to me and I’ve been overplaying it ever since.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDXXi19_7iE

Fave thing: Yankee candle- November rain. This candle is the.best.candle.ever. I am literally obsessed with it! The only way to describe it is that it smells like a boy, because it actually does! It reminds me of a really nice boys aftershave, November rain is just amazing and everyone should have one.

Fave drink: Cadburys hot chocolate. I have been a little bit mad for hot chocolate this week, which is not good for me but I don’t really care. It’s the perfect thing to have when you’ve come in from the cold, after a long day of college, work or both haha.

Fave photo: Hi there I’ll have a venti Pug-achino please!


Has this converted any starbucks haters? haha
so they were my Friday favourites what are yours?

Au revoir until next time,

                                 Five Friday favourites

 

Aloha readers and happy Friday to you! I can’t believe it is Friday already, the week has really flown in! It has been a mad but good week for me, I started my new Christmas job on Wednesday and I really like it so far. I hope you have had a good week and enjoy todays post :)

 Fave quote

This is a perfect quote to describe how life is always bittersweet. The majority of the time we have to go through hard times or struggles so we can really appreciate opportunities we are given, or appreciate what we have. It’s important to remember that things will get better. No matter what you are going through, everything will fall into place in the end.

Fave song: the 1975 heart out. I have been overplaying this all week, the 1975 are one of the best bands around at the moment and I can’t get enough of them. Check them out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD7KASmeVjs

Fave thing. Starbucks red cups. It's Christmas season baby! I had a gorgeous caramel hot chocolate in a red cup yesterday and it really made me feel Christmassy. November is when I start getting excited for Christmas. It’s the little things like the Starbucks cups and drinks, the lights and the shopping that make me feel excited and festive.

Fave laugh. Jenna marbles photo booth tag. This is hilarious, I couldn’t stop watching this, me and my moths(friends) also love this app! When we found the app first it gave us hours of entertainment the faces are just so funny haha

Motivational Monday: Beauty

                                                          

                                                  Nailed it.



 

Today is a beauty post about my autumn/winter nails if you haven’t guessed already! There have been four nail varnish’s I have been loving since the season started. So if you are a lover of nail varnish, or want to get into painting your nails keep reading!
Chanel: 219 Black Satin. This is a gorgeous colour, like the name suggests it applies like satin with a beautiful black shine. The main thing I love about this nail varnish is the staying power. It lasts for a week without chipping, which I think is amazing!

Barry M: 320 foll effects 225. This is the perfect colour for a glamorous night out. The gold dries to a matte effect which looks gorgeous on the nail. The colour lasts days without chipping, and comes in under a tenner so it’s a steal!

Barry M: 356 Cosmo Berry.  Cosmo Berry is my favourite nail varnish from the four today. This is mainly because of the colour. I have been looking for this type of berry for ages and now I finally have it, yay! I am wearing it on my nails today, so that shows how much I love it! The colour is a lovely deep berry however, it can look black in some lights. The varnish is easy to apply, dries fast and leaves a beautiful shine. What more could you want from a nail varnish?

Chanel: 565 Beige. I never usually wear light colours like this beige on my nails, because of my pale skin. But, I have to say there is just something about this shade that I can’t get enough of. It makes my nails look so elegant, and soft. Like the Chanel 219 it stays without chipping, it is easy to apply and I adore wearing it.
 
So they are my picks for Aumtum/Winter 2013, what are yours?

Au revoir until next time,
