Teen Blogger Meet-up

Hello my lovelies! So my final GCSE's for this year are done, phew! And now my priority is no longer on revising endless structures of atoms and molecular bonds but on blogging! So for the past few weeks I've been in contact with a lovely blogger called Chloe and we've arranged a Teen Blogger Meet up in the summer. Now this is so exciting for me, my blog has been going for less than a year and I've already spoken to so many lovely people through it and now am helping to arrange this, which should be a fantastic day!


So as you can see all the basic details are here on this fabulous poster that Chloe herself created! This is such an amazing oppurtunity for all teen bloggers regardless of your blog type/style. If you are interested please get in touch with either myself or Chloe (contact details as on the poster) so we have an idea of numbers!

Would love to see some of you there!

Love
Georgie xx

Positivity, School and Exam Stress

Hi guys! Firstly I apologise for not posting very often, recently I've been hit by a barrage of mocks and GCSE's which of course have had to take priority (thumbs down to exams). So at the moment I'm in the awful kind of transition stage at school from a Year 10 to Year 11; being a trial prefect, furiously making coursework deadlines, as well as being surrounded by GCSE and mock exam galore! It's fair to say I've had a little bit of a struggle this week in remaining calm and positive, and it also seems that others around me are too; I've seen at least 5 other people cry and leave a lesson this week, that's just in my own classes! It seems that nobody can really keep up with these unattainable standards of perfection that seem to be expected from us and it's just hit us now, with the pressure being piled on the last few weeks. Now I fully expect year 11 to be the same or even worse, but still I feel that everybody, regardless of their predicament in terms of exams, needs a little cheering up at the moment!


Now I know it's a lot easier said than done but finding something that actually makes you filled with genuine happiness, if only for a while, can be one of the best sources of positivity. For me it was starting dance again this week for the first time in years, after a day with a French reading and listening mock, GCSE Chemistry revision and an hour of Maths revision after school I was in dire need of cheering up! I can't explain how nice it was to be in a room full of like minded people, doing something that I love- I was literally buzzing for hours afterwards especially after being so nervous about joining a class. Of course by the next day I was back to the tiresome slog that is school, but just for that hour dance lesson I was the most positive person going. So that's probably what I would say is so important in remaining positive, even if not all the time, spending time with people that you love or doing something that makes you genuinely happy. The second thing that has really helped me is Alfie Deye's video on being a teenager, literally I've shared this around all my friends after stumbling upon it last month.  


Honestly, watch this video and it will make you feel a whole lot better, it does for me every time I watch it, especially after having a week where I heard a lot of things that I really didn't want to. It makes you realise how insignificant so many little things are in comparison with the grand scheme of things. It sums up a lot of the issues and problems we go through, just by being a teenager and has been really beneficial for me and my friends! Okay so that is the end of this post, I hoped you enjoyed reading it, I'd just like to say if any of you ever want to talk to me about anything or are feeling down then feel free to contact me on the links down below,I'm here for you all too! Thanks for reading my lovelies!


Love

Throwback Thursday!

Hello my lovelies, so today I thought I'd join the whole #TBT but do it on my blog instead of on twitter or Instagram. So basically I thought I'd share a few pictures from my time in Germany on the exchange, which was about 3 months ago now. It was definitely one of the best and worst experiences I had, I had an amazing time but it wasn't always brilliant and I've got to admit spending 10 days in a foreign country with a family you don't know is pretty daunting! So here are a few snapshots of the best bits!

 (Holocaust Memorial-Berlin)

 (The Reichstag- Berlin)

 ( St Mary's Tower Selfie- Osnabrück)

 ( Traditional German Craftsmen -Münster)

(Weird statue- Osnabrück) 

(Shopping with the girls- Hanover) 


(Brandenburg Gate- Berlin) 

(Subway Selfie- Berlin)

(Cathedral- Münster)

(Last picture in Germany-Exchanges and Ice cream)

Okay so sorry that wasn't a really detailed post or anything but I have about 3 post drafted for the next 3 days so keep an eye out for them! Basically ages ago I wrote a post on my time in Germany but felt it wasn't very honest and I couldn't really portray what I wanted to say correctly through a post so decided not to put it up. These are just a few of the 600 pictures I took throughout the exchange, crazy I know! I also apologise for the bad quality, these were literally just taken on my Iphone during our trip. Again sorry that there isn't a full on post about my time in Germany but these pictures definitely capture some of the best moments!

Love
Georgie xx

Soap and Glory- KickAss Concealer Review

Hello my lovelies! This is just a quick review on Soap and Glory's Kick Ass Concealer, I've heard quite a bit of hype about this, so in true blogger style, I naturally had to buy it and try it out. I've seen quite a few yotubers use it such as velvetgh0st and thought I'd give it a go. It was £10 but the Soap and Glory section in Boots had a 'buy one get one half price' deal so both me and my mum got one. I think this is quite reasonable but it's probably more the type of thing I'd buy when it was on offer, if I'm completely honest.


Mine is in the shade 'Light' and as you can see there are two different colours, one more pinky toned, the other more yellow toned. I tend to use the first for under eyes and the second on any blemishes. Personally I quite like the consistency, it's quite thick and creamy which I like but does crease a little bit,it's quite a heavy coverage, so I f you don't like heavy product it's probably not for you. I found it covered under eye circles particularly well which is a big bonus for me as I seem to retain the look of being punched in the eye even with the toughest of concealers! It also comes with a translucent powder to seal it and a little powder puff thingy. I'm not a fan of the powder puff as it's too big for areas like under your eyes so I tend to use a little concealer brush instead.


I actually quite like the packaging, this little box and then the circle container itself,which has two layers. Being a bit of a neat freak, I've kept it in the box too, which is nice and neat, Soap and Glory packaging has never really let me down though so I expected it to be quite good. The little mirror is really handy for touch-ups on the go too and is of a really good size for a small container. Overall I quite like this after around 3 weeks of using it, but who knows I might change my mind in a few more weeks! I'm not quite sure if it's worth the £10 or that I'll be ditching my Collection or Wake Me Up concealer anytime soon but nevertheless it's a nice change and a decent quality product.

Okay so that was my quick review guys, another post is due tomorrow, Happy Monday!

Love
Georgie xx

Shoe Wishlist!

Hello my lovelies, so for us in England it's half term and as part of my usual procrastination routine I've been trawling through the internet online shopping, or rather looking at lovely things that I can't afford to buy. So I thought I might as well try to make something vaguely productive out of this habit, so here is my shoe wishlist:



Top Left: Forever 21 Floral Flats I literally think these are so so gorgeous and they certainly appeal to my love for anything floral! I absolutely love the print and the style of these shoes, and they look so pretty and dainty, they'd be really cute with a dress for summer.They kind of remind me of slippers? I don't know, they just look comfy! I've never previously found any shoes that I like from Forever 21 although I adore the clothes, but these are so pretty and for £15 are reasonable too, well done Forever 21!

Bottom Left: Superga 2750's - Navy I already own a pair of light blue Superga's and honestly they are my favourites! They're the comfiest things and I personally much prefer them to vans even if they aren't considered that 'cool'. I really love this navy pair as I think they would go with literally everything and are a little less bright than my ones (which I always wear nevertheless). Also seen worn by the likes of Ashley Olsen, Alexa Chung, Katie Holmes and Sienna Miller they're definitely good enough for me- they're around the £45 mark.

Bottom Right: Missguided Black Platform Sandals I absolutely loooooveeeee these, like It's ridiculous how much I want them! I like that they're sandals but don't show your feet too much- sounds weird but I hate feet! Also they're platformed unlike the ones in Topshop, which is always a bonus when you're like me, I'm definitely not the tallest of people. I'm seriously considering getting these for summer, I just need the English weather to cheer up a bit as encouragement, also at £24.99 they're a steal too!

Middle Right: Nike Roshe Run Liberty So everyone's seen the classic Roshe Run and as half my school own a pair so they kind of lost their appeal but these ones are just lush! Another collaboration between Liberty London and Nike and these are so so so nice, I absolutely adore the liberty fabrics anyway and these shoes are just perfect, especially as I love Nikes. At £75 I think they are pretty reasonable considering your average Nikes are around that price anyway- although as with nearly every Liberty collections they are limited and are sold out already on the nike website!

Top Right: Jack Wills Glenthorne Brogue These are so beautiful, real classic, leather brogues, I realise they are a bit marmite, but I personally love them and have been lusting after them for such a long long time. I can't seem to find a match for them anywhere else, not that are this gorgeous or of the same quality. These would go with so so many things, jeans for an afternoon out or a dress for summer in the city, literally they are so versatile. Unfortunately they are a little on the pricey side at *cough* £198 *cough* so I think I can say they'll most likely be remaining on my wish list :-( as at that price that would be the entire sum of my paper round money for like over two months *sighhhhhh* they really are gorgeous though.

So that was my shoe wishlist, hope you like it and I'd just like to say thankyou for all the more views recently, I really appreciate it,

Love
Georgie xx

Feature Youtuber: Ciara May

Hello my lovelies! So for this post I'm going to talk about somebody else rather than about myself for once! The youtuber I'm featuring is Ciara May who happens to be my friend from my History class at school! I've known Ciara for years but only really found out about her Youtube channel a few months ago and have been subscribed ever since! Her channel ranges from the classic Youtube tags to look books, make-up tutorials, hauls etc.

Ciara also has a collab channel called Alannah May Sian, with two other girls from my year Chloe and Chloe, which again you should go check out and subscribe to (notice I inserted yet ANOTHER link)! Also I'm actually going to feature on Ciara's channel, I'm not sure when yet but we will be filming this week I think for it, so I will obviously link it when it happens!

Okay so that's the second post for today done! Two posts in one day! I know, pretty impressive for me. So if you haven't got the message by now (which you must be an idiot to have not got, soz not soz) I'm trying to tell you what an amazing channel you're missing out on and how cool Ciara is (not to mention she has incredibly long hair which is pretty cool too and she's my Made in Chelsea watching chum). So go watch her videos and subscribe please!

Here are her Links:
