Clothing Haul: Trixin Clothing and Dorothy Perkins

Image
From Trixin clothing: www.trxin.com "Golden Spring" I love that it can be worn as a dress or with leggings "The Horizon"  "Be Free" Trixin Clothing is a start up clothing company by a bunch of famous YouTubers, mainly The Shaytards, from America. I think the clothes are mostly good quality. From the 3 items I have bought, the dress and the jumper are so incredibly comfortable, with good quality material and seem durable. I love the design on the feather top. I bought the little 'The Horizon' tank for the gym and it is very thin and for the material I think it is overpriced. I love the items but I think with delivery and customs costs, I will not be buying again any time soon.  From DP:  www.dorothyperkins.com Anyone who knows me, knows that Dorothy Perkins is by far my favourite shop so when I went in after exams last Wednesday I as sure I would find a little something.  This dress is beyond gorgeous. It ...

New Purchase!

Image
Over the last week I've made some purchases so I thought I would share seeing as though life has been pretty uneventful :') For those who have known me for a long time, since year 7, I have been very self-conscious of my acne. I have suffered very badly over the years and have been a numerous different prescriptions. I have been looking into Magnitone or Clarisonic type products. So when one of my YouTubers posted a 70% discount for a very similar product I was thrilled and snapped up the opportunity. It's called 'Spin for Perfect Skin' and I ended up buying it for £40 in total including UK delivery. I will do I review once I get it! If you want 70% off use the code 'carlie7'...you're welcome ;)  http://vanityplanet.com/spin-for-perfect-skin-483 I bought 2 DVDs to keep me going: Blended and Horrible Bosses 2 (which I have wanted for a long time. I also got a cute little hanging watch so that I can clip it in exams. I treated myself to some...

Photo Addict: The Reason

Image
People often make comments on the number of pictures I make and yes, I take a lot. Probably too much sometimes but I will never apologise for that. Ever. December 16th 2011 I lost my grandfather. I saw him almost every single day (at precisely 6pm he would walk through the door) from the age of 5; I lived with him for over a year.  He was one of my inspirations in life and he taught me to always aspire to greatness and never give up on your dreams. His was having one of his horses win the Grand National. Every year he would breed horses in the hope they would be good enough. After all the generations of Rhubarb names: Rhubarb Renaissance, Rhubarb Royale, Rhubarb Regal Red, Rhubarb Essence, Red Rhubarb, Ruby Rhubarb, Rhubarb Rebellion ....and the list goes one. Watching the Grand National this weekend got me thinking about him so much. The owner that won was so happy, belated even and he had won 3 times now. What my grandfather would have given for that opportunity....

Teen Mom OG Anger

Image
A few nights ago, I watched an episode on Teen Mom OG and it infuriated me so much. It was a very emotional episode! For those who don't know it is a documentary based TV show that revolves around the lives of Teen Mom's. It began when they were '16 and Pregnant' and followed with 4 seasons of 'Teen Mom'. The 3 girls are now back with new episodes but they are all in their mid-twenties now. Teen Mom: The Original Girls. Catelynn and Tyler: Tyler posted a video of his daughter who was adopted and adoption parents were angry. My heart broke for this. I can understand how Cate only cares about HER seeing her daughter and not worrying about the public seeing posted pictures and videos but at the same time, it was suppose to be an open adoption. That involves having the right to post pictures of your daughter. She is still their daughter even though they're not the parents. If anything, Carly is so lucky to have not only 2 families that love her but also so...

Clothing Haul!

Image
I bought a load of clothes last week and today was the first time I've had a chance to try them all on. I ended up only keeping 3 items and they are all very similar but so comfy. And of course, they are all from Dorothy Perkins. It's a loose tunic and very comfortable. It definitely needs a belt with it but it will be perfect to wear either around the house or over a bikini in the summer. I got 2 of the same tops but in different colours. The first is a similar pattern to my first item but a more traditional top, and the second is a green. It is more green green in person but I think it's great so I can wear it for next year's St Patrick's Day. I love the longer sides to cover problem areas and the slightly higher neck line means I can wear it for work. I'm not used to sleeves but I wore the striped today, and I have gotten used to it. i can see myself becoming addicted to these two tops.

What does sex mean to you?

Image
So a friend text me today and asked me: What does sex mean to you? She is doing a research project for university on the topic and it made me think. Straight away my answer was: love. But the longer I thought, the more I wondered what other people would say. What does sex mean to you? I know over the years it has changed dramatically. It is no longer - to most people - just for the confinement of marriage and most people have many sexual partners. It is a matter of personal opinion. I have nothing against people who have sex with multiple people or those who wait for marriage. I don't plan on doing either: waiting until marriage or many people. I am simply waiting for love. If I find love once or multiple times I shall wait and see. So many people regret their first time, even their first serious relationships being rushed and not thought out. I don't want that. To me sex isn't just the process of intercourse; it's about the emotional ties to each other, you...
