Back to School

I've been rather inactive this week mainly because of the fact I'VE HAD TO GO TO SCHOOL *gasp* I've barely even been there for a week and I'm sick of it. I've had around 15 pieces of homework set already. FIFTEEN. How am I expected to do all of this homework, go to school, sleep, eat, revise AND have a social life at the end of it all? I've kinda ruled out the social life part now as I haven't really had time for it recently. I will happily Skype my friends whilst I work but I barely have time to go out with them. Like tonight for instance, quite a few of my friends went out skating whilst I sat at home on Netflix and recovering from my week. HOW DO THEY DO IT.
And even worse my laptop charger is slowly breaking. Crap. It wont charge. I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY COMPLETELY BROKEN. I thought it at least had a couple of days left in it! Ah hang on, if I bend it sideways then it charges still. Let's just hope I don't move then. Ever.
Laptop chargers aside I'm going to explain what things have made me mad this week.
The bus for a start. My bus is wayyy too small to fit around 50 school kids. It's not as bad if you get a seat with somebody you know, as at least you have somebody to talk to as people are slowly being crammed into the bus.
If you get a seat with someone you do not know, it's not the greatest of situations but it's not too terrible. At least you're out of the way of people getting on and off the bus.
The worst situation is when you have to stand. It wouldn't be bad if the bus was empty, but when it's going up and down bumpy roads with other people crowded around you, it isn't fun. Especially when you end up falling on a man who them proceeds to stare at you funny for the rest of the journey. (Cringe.)
Some of the teachers are beginning to annoy me as well. The ones who stand there and tell us to "be happy that were back at school." and "to join in with different activities."
Excuse me.
I have spent 6 weeks getting to sleep until I want to and now I have to wait up at 6am and get on a grotty bus and spend 7 hours working. I am not excited or happy to be back at school. And I'm most definitely not going to take part in even more activities.
I'm too tired to think of more things that annoy me, so I'm going to go and let my laptop charge now. See ya soon!

Zoella's Products Review

Today I am going to be writing a few reviews on some of Zoella's products. Let's begin!
Kissy Missy Lip Balm: I think that this product is really cute and has especially nice packaging. It has a hint of a tint leaving you with a subtle pink. It contains extracts of Acai and Blueberry and I recommend it.
Fresh Fizz: This smells amazing and very fresh yet rather fruity. It is great for the price of £4 as you can use it in four baths, leaving you feeling clean, refreshed and energized. 
Soak Opera: This is one of my favourites for quite a few reasons. I have had it for quite a few months now and I still have at least 1/4 of the bottle left. It contains Shea Butter which helps condition your skin, as well as Vitamin E and Aloe. I think it's amazing and if you had to pick one of Zoe's products to get, then this is the one.

So these were just three of my favourite Zoella products. (I do not own these photos, so credit to the people who took them!)

What to do When You Can't Sleep

1 am and I've decide to make another post. This is probably going to make no sense at all as I am over tired and listening to 'Star Struckk' and bed dancing. You now, that dance you do when you're just sat in bed, when you wave your arms around a bit and act as if you're at a rave. No? Just me? Okay then.
As you can probably see by the time I stay up rather late. I probably wont sleep for another few hours, so why not kill some time and write? I'm not 100% what I want to say but it's something to do with not being able to sleep or whatever. I'm going to try and give you some tips on what to do when it's one of those nights when you're attempting to sleep but you're just completely wide awake.
When I first realise that I'm probably not going to sleep soon, I turn on netflix and choose a show to watch. Then I completley ignore the fact that I'm watching netflix and I plug in my earphones and pick some songs to listen to. 
After I have acquired music, I begin FaceBook scrolling. It's not as if you're even interested in anything these people are saying, but for some reason you feel as if you must know about how Mary's BBQ went and whether or not Claire enjoyed her holiday in Greece. FaceBook is pretty much a load of people bragging (or sharing TMI) about their lives. Everybody moans about it, yet nobody leaves. It's a dark hole of family photos and memes.
Reading is a good thing to do at this time, so grab your book/kindle/fan fiction (XD) and start reading! Warning: If you're like me, then once you start you cannot stop until you have reached the end of what you are reading. This can result in many hours spent of you just sat there, wasting away the hours.
FOOD. Fact: You can get hungry at 1am. Now I should probably tell you to have some calming tea or something. Or fruit. Or whatever is healthy. But I won't lie. At 1 am I usually grab myself a packet of crisps, maybe a chocolate bar and then retreat to my room again. Yum. Now that's REAL food.
I'm going to go now, and continue listening to music. I hope you have enjoyed this post, I may write another one tonight :)

Songs I Recommend

I've decided to write a post as what else have I got to do? All of my friends are at school, I've watched basically everything on netflix and I'm becoming very bored. So, to hopefully cure my boredom I am going to give you a selection of songs that I recommend. From the list you will probably see that I have quite a vast taste in music, varying from FOB, to 1D and to the sound track from Mamma Mia. In no particular order:
Drag Me Down - One Direction
She's Kinda Hot - 5SOS
This is Gospel - P!ATD
Worth It - Fifth Harmony
Photograph - Ed Sheeran
The Friends Theme
Shower - Becky G
Still in to You - Paramore
Over the Love - Florence and the Machine
A Thousand Miles - Ronan Park (Cover)
It's all About You - YouTube Boyband Edition
Lollipop - Mika
Big Girl You are Beautiful - Mika (again)
Where My Baes at - Miranda Sings
Haters Back Off - Miranda Sings
Uma Thurman - Fall Out Boy
2009 Phan Song
2022 Phan Song
I think I'm gonna stop here instead of going on all day. Also these little leafy things are flying off the tree in my garden and landing on my laptop.

Dying Your Hair

Having
Your
Hair
Dyed
Whilst
At
School.
Okay. Be prepared for a rant. If you share the same opinion as me then leave a comment and I will check it out! If you don't agree then just shuffle along and read one of my other blog posts.

I don't think there is anything wrong with having your hair dyed at school. Teachers are always telling us to express ourselves and to not follow the crowd. Many people (including myself) do this by dying their hair. Schools should be happy that the pupils are finally finding the confidence in themselves to be who they want to be. BUT NOOOOOO.
I'm sorry, but since when has the colour of my hair affected my learning? Does the colour of my hair suddenly make me more stupid or something? I don't think so!
I've heard of people being sent out of lessons and even EXCLUDED from school for dying their hair. WHAT THE EVEN HECK.
Surely it's then the teachers affecting their learning, not their hair!?
There's other things like this that annoy me.
LIKEWHY ARE THERE SUCH STRICT UNIFORM RULES.
What does it even matter if I am wearing white or black socks? Why does it matter whether or not I'm wearing a certain type of skirt? WHY DOES IT MATTER IF I'M WEARING CONVERSE SHOES INSTEAD OF VANS? WHY DOES ANY OF IT MATTER?!
Does my uniform affect my education?
No.
Does my hair affect my education?
No.
Does my choice in clothing affect my education?
No.

And that is why I am annoyed.

Blogs and YouTube

Now that I've been thinking, there IS a reason I started a blog. In the past, I attempted YouTube. Haha. Yeah. I was about 11 and I failed miserably at it. I just couldn't get my words out properly and I just talked about random things for 15 minutes then uploaded it. Eventually I figured out how to edit, but even then they were bad. I would try too hard to be funny and entertaining. I thought it would be good if I acted sarcastic too. I was not very good at pretending to be sarcastic. At all.

After quite a few years I've decided to take a step back and try blogging instead. I have time to think about what I want to say on here, instead of just blurting out whatever. I think that's actually all I wanted to say. It's really not much at all, but still, I hope you enjoyed reading :)

What To Do At a Sleepover

I'm someone who loves sleepovers, but not at other people's house (maybe a bit more on that later.) At a sleepover, there are certain things you HAVE to do to make it perfect. Here's a few.

1) Watch a film
I recommend that you watch a horror movie, as they make sleepovers even more fun! If you're not a fan of horror, then a comedy is great too. A few of my favourite Horror/Comedy films at the moment are Insidious, 22 Jump Street and The Ring. (My friend and I watched the Ring and I almost broke her hand it scared me so much haha.)
2) Make hot chocolate
Hot chocolate, tea, coffee, whatever you like. It's lots of fun to try and make your drink look nice (like the one in the picture, yummy) by buying things like whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips etc. Although this is easier said than done. When I attempted to make my hot chocolate look nice the cream melted in to the drink and I had sprinkles floating around my drink. Make sure you have more talent than me before trying this ahaha.

3) Play games

Truth or dare is a great game to play. It's more fun the more of you there are. So if there's just two of you, it can get boring quickly! Telling secrets and funny stories is also entertaining.


So these were just a few things you can do to make your sleepover more fun! I hope I helped.
