Brisbane and Taylor Swift!

Hey guys it's Jess!

Firstly let me begin by saying sorry for not blogging last weekend, I was away and had a stressful week with prac and work again. Although this week has not been easy for me either at least I have a topic to talk about. 


Last weekend Max and I took a trip down to Brisbane to see Taylor Swift live in concert again! It was such a great experience and I loved it from start to finish. The supporting acts for Taylor were Neon Trees and Guy Sebastian, which meant they both got half an hour on stage. The first few songs Neon Trees played had the audience disappointed (or maybe that was just me). Then Guy Sebastian came on and I am not the biggest fan of him, I never have been even in his days of Angels Brought Me Here. But Max and I just dance and sang to our hearts content. 

Then it was time for the main event TAYLOR! I took my shocking little camera that Max bought me forever ago with me which meant that only a couple of my pictures turned out ok, and by ok I mean really just ok. 

As always Taylor Swift was stunning and the music was perfect and the night was incredible! 

Since Christmas is only 11 days away (how excited are you!) it meant Queen Street Mall had all types of decorations set up. We walked past the Christmas tree every day and I just had to have a picture, so I took the opportunity to take pictures of other decorations around the Mall! 


Thank you for the peace sign (:

What a week!?

Hey guys!

This week has been crazy! I have been doing prac work at an early learning center then going straight to work. Which means I'm just going to prac then work then coming home. I have had no time to even think about what we are doing during Vacation Care at work! 

As this goes for 10 days I'm sorry but I'm not going to uploading any reviews this week or next. I'm sorry this post is really short, I just haven't done anything and I said I would post every week and that's what I am trying to do. Next weeks will be late but it will be something more exciting then this. 

See you soon!

University Stress

Hey guys!

You'd think after three years of dealing with being messed around about with emails back and fourth to lectures and them saying they aren't getting it or something else going wrong I would be used to this. Well, I'm not and I would like to say a big frick this to you. After waiting and waiting and waiting to find out about something for my final year, everyone else in my year finds out A WEEK AGO. I got an email saying 'you should find out early next week'. Look at that early next week has been and gone and still no email to say 'here's the information you need'. Also add to that the stress of thinking I would be where I work, which is a total no go, which I said at the very beginning. 

Today I sent an email, asking if they had heard anything yet. They have not and will look into it on Monday. The thing is I start a prac on Monday and all the schools I will be going to close by the time this prac finishes so, what I am meant to do now? I know that the university is being really annoying because of cut backs and term etc. But just someone updating me every now and then would be nice.

See you next week!

Jess Reviews.. McBusted

O hey there!

Busted


My love for McFly and my love for Busted is just incredible. I could just like knock about everyone who says they don't like McFly right in the face just so I could see them live. This week came with a huge announcement by both bands, McBusted. 
Hello Perfection! McFly
Now my love for both bands is incredible as I said above and I mean having them appear at your 10 year anniversary shows because if it wasn't for them you wouldn't be a band. I mean I found that adorable and I could like squeeze them all. But after 2 songs, you get a bit bored. It's Busted, split up Busted with perfect perfect McFly. I may also be a bit jealous of everyone who ever gets to see these two bands but I just.. I feel like this is a massive publicity stunt to make people listen to McFly more. Their music is perfect and I know it doesn't get recognized as the band they are instead as 'pop boyband' but putting two members from another band in is just money hungry to me.

Baggage Check

I watched this before writing:


Now there's something about watching someone confess a lot of things that makes you think that you should too. But that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to say, when has it ever been ok to put someone down, to say bad things about someone you don't know. As far as I'm aware it's always been the wrong thing to do. I was told 'if you don't have something nice to say don't say it at all' but sometimes you just want to. However, you should not take your frustrations out on other people. That takes you no where. 

Actually I do have some things bothering me. I wish I liked more people. Like actual people I know, so I could go out and do stuff instead of sit in my room all day and watch 4 seasons of Pretty Little Liars in less than 2 weeks. 

There's something about the way you can see people pushing your buttons and you fall for it every time it happens. 

When you are so upset about the band you love touring next year and you would never be able to go because they never freakin' come here and you are in your last year of uni so trying to pay to go to them would be worthless. 

Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with how much I haven't achieved that I just sit and think maybe today I'll do something. 

When people see me at work I feel like they are judging me because I'm working at a supermarket and I feel like yelling at them to say I'm working another job and that I am doing full time university studies so I don't feel so bad about myself.

Jess Reviews.... Bronzer

Hey guys it's Jess!

If you don't know about my review posts click here. This week I will be reviewing Maybelline New York Dream Terra Sun Bronzing powder. 





I have been trying so many bronzers over the last few months to find the perfect blend for my skin. I am still looking even with this bronzer. 

Packaging
The packaging on this bronzer is actually really handy. Although it looks like a package that would just fall all over your bag. However, the lid screws on and stays on. It also helps that you can see the product before purchasing. The cute pattern on the product I believe helps sell this bronzer.



Product 
As you hardly ever seem to find a light bronzer in the town I live when I finally found one I thought all my searching was over. However when applied to my skin it is a lot darker than first thought. When I was looking at this product at Chemist Warehouse there were no 'try me' products which made it had for me to actually know what it looked like. I hardly ever put much on nor do I overload my brush. But it seems to give me this dark brown on my head some days that makes it look like someone has punched me in the face. Other days however it suits my skin perfectly, so whether it is my skin or the product I don't know. The other negative factor about this product is the smell. I have a Rimmel bronzer that smells define and when compared to Dream Terra Sun bronzer it smells like heaven on earth. 
bronzer has this earthy smell to it, but worse, if you ever get the chance do have a smell. 

Overall I give this product a 3 out of 10. 

See you soon!

It's my party

Hey guys it's Jess! 

This week has been incredibly busy with birthday celebrations for my 20th. I have been having so many times with friends and family that I enjoy having. 

To begin I had dinner with my family the night before my birthday. Mum made me her famous roast dinner and made me butterfly cakes. I just absolutely adore butterfly cakes, they remind me so much of my grandmother. 
There is no photo where my brother will take seriously.
Then on my birthday I woke up early and opened presents with mum and dad before Max came over and spent the whole day with me. My day was pretty leisurely as on Monday everything seems to be shut. But we found somewhere for dinner which was fantastic. 
Mum and I before dinner.
Now the weekend after my birthday I went out and had dinner with my friends from uni and had a really great night chatting and playing the pokies. 
Finally we had lunch with my family since both my aunt and I fall in a week of each other. 
We had to pretend because I had already blown it out.

So now all my celebrations are over I can finally sit down and blog. Also my review section will be back tomorrow!
