Wayback Wednesday - 1997

As a child, I was a massive daddy's girl, which meant, when dad wasn't around I would be hanging off my older brother. In 1997, way back when, I would run around the house screaming for my brother to play this song because I thought it was the best thing ever (mainly because he would play it on repeat to stir my other brother). 

Although at the time I did not realise this song had been originally released by somebody else, I still could not get enough of this song. 

Looking back though, it was the most annoying, song I would ever hear in my life. It is one that just sticks in your head for days. 

This week my song is Why Can't We Be Friends - Smash Mouth

What was your favourite song from 1997? 

See you soon!!

P.S I am super sorry I did not update you at ALL last week, but my friend has been having an awful month and I just had to be there for her! 

Dear Mum,

Happy Mother's Day from me to you.
I would like to take some time out to thank-you for everything you have ever done for me and my brothers. Without you I wouldn't be the strong person I am today. Without you when I'm sad I wouldn't know what to do. Without you having this cold would be the worst. You have always been the person I look up to the most. You have got so much of your mother in you and I am glad, because that means I will be an incredibly bright, bubbly and independent. You have taught me pretty much everything I know. I know that as a teenager I was not the greatest nor was I always the happiest. But please know, spending my time with you and laughing in the car with you while telling each other about our perfectly crappy days makes me the luckiest daughter in the world. 

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living your baby I'll be.

Wayback Wednesday - 2010

4 years ago in November I graduated high school (how crazy is that). As I've been looking at the music of the times in the Wayback Wednesday series, I've always had trouble trying to find something I listened to and enjoyed in my final year of high school. 

I remember 2010 as being the year I really got into Taylor Swift. Like I had been into since I was 15 (so two years before) but I hadn't really WANTED an album or cared much about the music she made. But 2010 was a changing year for that. One of the songs that really got me changing was Mine. Which I related to Max and I. But I feel like that was just the starting point and it wasn't really a 'favourite' of mine. 

However, I remember finding this song and thinking how awesome it was and how you could dance to it and sing along and not care what people thought about you. I just loved this song (and I still do, I still rock out). I feel like this song could play everyday with about 2 other songs and I would still love it. 

This week my choice for Wayback Wednesday is..... 

Story of Us - Taylor Swift

First Impression

Good afternoon (: 

Last Sunday I decided to take a trip to priceline to purchase a few things I needed. I had heard some wonderful things about the Rimmel - Wake Me Up foundation and I thought it would be an awesome idea to do a first impression blog with the foundation. While I was there I also picked myself up Maybelline New York's The Falseies mascara and by reading the blurb about it I thought I could include that too. 

I applied each at 10:30am and left it on for a good 5 hours to give it the ultimate test. 

When I applied this foundation it went on really well and it gave me the coverage on my skin that I really enjoy. I also found that it felt really nice on my skin and I didn't even think I had it on for most of the day. 

1:30 After wearing it for 3 hours doing errands and taking some photos for you guys, I found that it still had nice coverage from my cheeks down but I felt like it had come off my forehead and I really think that's because I actually sweat a lot when setting up my camera that morning. 

3:30 After 5 hours I didn't have anywhere else to go and I felt like it was time for me to take my make-up off. I found that it still felt like I had coverage everywhere bar my forehead. It was also super simple to take off! 

Sorry about the nasty photo! Lighting was being awful to me!

I found this mascara to be super watery which meant I had trouble putting it on as I found it just went everywhere. However once you get a technique you are pretty fine to apply. It also looked super good when I put it on, made my eyelashes look amazing!

Left: Without, Right:  Maybelline - The Falises

1:30 This product still looked quiet nice on, but I found that bits and pieces would fall off all over your face and it just looked nasty. However if you did notice this it was super simple to just get a tissue and wipe off. 

3:30 I feel the same about this product that it didn't really come off during the day however you did have big nasty like black bits fall onto your face but that was about it. I actually found this really hard to come off. With most of my other mascara's I could use my make-up wipes and some warm water and I would be fine. This I actually had to pull out my eye make-up remover!
