5 things I'm excited for this year

This year is just beginning and I've already started putting some big awesome plans into place!! So here are 5 things I'm really excited for this year 1) Thailand: Not only have I never been to Thailand but I get to go with 3 of my oldest and bestest friends from home. I'm going at the end of March for just under 2 weeks. We are going to Phuket and Koh Samui. I really wanted to do mermaid swimming but they don't do it anymore! Any tips or what we can do let me know!!  2) Parklife: I go every year, in fact the only year I haven't been is the very first year, and the line up so far is BANGINNGG. Bastille, Nao, Mura Masa, Shura, Gorgon City, Sigma, Craig David.years and years, Jack Garratt, flume, Circa waves...thats not even everyone I want to see and the full line up isn't even out yet!! It's one of my favourite weekends and a tradition for me and my friends!  3) Glastonbury, oh god, anyone who wants to go knows what it's like getting a ticket, last year I didn't manage to go but I am this year and there is so much for me to explore! Its one of my besties first times going which is even more exciting! - I can't wait for the silent rave!! I also didn't go down the rabbit hole last time so THAT IS HAPPENING. Aah who is going to be on the line up? I'm thinking Foals is there somewhere. I wish Lorde would be on it!  4) A foreign festival - I REAAAAALLLY wanted to do croatia rocks this year but it doesn't look like its happening at all. which I am so gutted about because it was just a perfect holiday/festival combination and croatia itself is stunning!! At the moment it's looking like Benicassium or Nosalive! 5) Leeds festival - oh god. Jack U? the return of Two door cinema club AND foals/disclosure headlining? YAAAAAAAAS LEEDS.  I can't wait! What are your holiday/festival plans!? Keep up to date with my latest posts by following me! :)

My festival tips.

Since festival season is coming up ( have I mentioned this?...)  I thought I would share a couple of tips.  1) pot noodles - This may sound random but if you are festivalling on a budget get some cheap pot noodles and just pay a pound for hot water at any of the coffee places.  Also pringles will be your best friends. 2) DO NOT wear a playsuit - okay so this may sound even more random then the first tip but...hear me out okay? I'll tell you TWO reasons why playsuits and festivals are a no go. 1- you will be queueing for a toilet, I tell you, 80% chance you will have to queue which may or may not ( depending on your bladder) leave you doing a little wee dance and then... a miracle - a loo! and you have to spend the next 5 minutes doing a wee dance while trying to get yourself out of said playsuit. it's not fun. My next reason also depends on the festival your going to, how long it's been going on for and how often they clean the toilets. Sounds grim? you have no idea. Toilets at festivals can get into some absolute states ( for all of your sakes I won't go into this) but lets be honest you don't really want to touch any part of this toilet let along having to hold all your outfit so it doesn't touch anything either, it's just awkward....and your testing fate. If you insist on a playsuit I'd recommend risking it on the first day when toilets are at their cleanest.  3) Caprisuns. Okay, so all of these are starting to sound pretty random... but if you are wearing items of loose clothing there is potential to sneak in some booze. Empty out a screw cap caprisun and fill it with your drink of choice and ladies don't forget to find a male security guard, most of the time they aren't allowed to touch you up and check for things. ( I say most of the time) 4) Wine bags. Another option is to belt a wine bag to yourself..... make sure you are wearing a baggy dress and something like a raincoat over the top.  5) ALWAYS make sure you have tissue, take some small packets of tissues, if you've forgotten just steal some from the toilet first time you go because chances are you ain't gonna see any again! And don't forget the sanitiser!  6) got a long walk from the car to the festival? See if you and your mates can invest in a cart or a sled to help drag all those heavy items.  7) use clothes as a pillow. it can get chilly at night so always take a jumper just incase, at night you can wrap some clothes up in a small laundry bag and use this as a pillow if you don't have the space or arms to bring one with you.  8) okay so this isn't nessecarily one of my tips but last year after Glastonbury a friend of mine booked in a spa nearby overnight on the day the festival ended. So 1) she didn't have to do the long drive straight away and 2) she got a back massage which is perfect after going a week without your bed! I am absolutely stealing this tip hope some of these help!  Let me know your little tips! Keep up to date with my latest posts by following me! :)

Personal: What's in my glastonbury daily bag

I'm SO SO SO excited that on wednesday I WILL BE AT GLASTONBURY! I haven't been before but I like to think I am a bit of a festival veteran now! I thought I would do a mini post on what's in my daily bag...

The bag itself is from Topshop. I had been wanting this for a while and oh god I nearly didn't get it. ( I feel like whenever I buy something there is some massive story attached) Basically the tophop in TC didn't have this bag they only had it in blue, but my heart was set on pink, I already have a blue backpack. The girl at the till couldn't get through to the topshop in selfridges so I had to leg it over, trying to scout the bags out I finally see the stand...and my bag... in someone elses hands. I kinda hovered and I could hear her talking to her mates like: it's really nice...should I get it? chat. My heart was like: ohmygodohmygodohmygodPUTITDOWN and if fate would have it she did! They were still discussing though, I was just like...excuse me? are you getting this because I need it.... hahaha and now its mine! I am soooo chuffed.
Anyway.
The main things you need at a festival: hand sanitizer, tissues, rain mac, purse & ticket.... you need suncream if its sunny( and your white as like me). Then your beauty things like lipstick, lip balm, powder, concealer and all that jazz( the touch up products).  At Glasto you can take booze into the arena so beer and wine bags shall be going round with me. Obs your phone. And the last things I can remember Festival Map and Band times plan....

What are you guys taking?

Beauty: Nars tinted moisturiser review

As I've been using this for a couple of weeks now I decided it's finally time to whip out a review.
First of all, maybe this is a common theme with Nars but it was smaller then I expected for £28 I did expect it to be a lot bigger. However, you don't really need a lot of this, I have actually squeezed too much out too many times thinking I need more when I don't. I'm also surprised about how good the coverage is. I wanted a tinted moisturiser for summer so my skin wasn't getting as clogged and also for festivals because there is nothing worse then feeling all hot and sweaty and then feeling your face melting off. This is so wonderfully light, I couldn't believe it! I also have very red cheeks and it covered them really well, sometimes when my cheeks are redder then usual I dab a little extra on or go over with a concealer. You don't feel this sat on your skin and after testing it out at Parklife this is definitely perfect for festivals! ( extra bonus it has SPF 30+) I picked the colour Finland as it was the palest and it seems to match my skins really well.

All in all I'm really happy with this though I may only purchase it when I can get some discount on ASOS.

Do you recommend any other tinted moisturisers to try? What do you think of the Nars one?

Style: Parklife 2014

Parklife never fails to be an amazing weekend! This is my 4th year and it's crazy how big it has got!! Sunday trumped saturday for me. Top acts: Sam Smith, Bastille and Disclosure who were all beyond amazing live! Another mention is clean bandit who were so good live! I really wasn't expecting it! Also caught some of Mistajam who was banging out so tunnesss, it wasn't my intention to see Snoop Dogg ( controversial) but after 10 minutes of Duke Dumont -  I went back and really enjoyed Snoop, I didn't think I knew all that many songs - Turns out I do! 

Here's my Saturday outfit: 

Co-ords: Ark

Lipstick: MAC - Red Balloon( I'm now obsessed with this!) 

 - Avec wellies of course.

Parklife

Hello!
So I know, I've been slack since Egypt, life has been busy! Anyway last weekend I went to the Parklife festival in Manchester, I've been the past 2 years and it's always the highlight of summer!

So the first day I wore Oh My Love: Leopard blouse top and black studded shorts and primark shoes.  Act of the day: Jaguar Skills. every time I see him I feel like its been the best hour of my life!! I might be going Global gathering so if you are too, check him out!!! Also saw Disclosure, but we left slightly early to get the bus and then Sam Smith came on! Gutteeeeeed!!

The second day I wore a topshop royal blue cami and a River Island maxi skirt tied to the side with the primark shoes.I think the best was Example! I really wanted to see Dj Fresh but they were at the same time. Did anyone go to that Tree house? they had the sickest Djs! I wish it was in my life forever!! The best part was it was SUNNY all weekend, which for Manchester is a miracle!

This week I'm teaching myself how to sew pockets so I can sell pocket tee's for a few months to get some money to be able to start my brand, I've also got loads of idea's for paintings which i'm gotting down to start in August! I don't think I can afford yoga till August now, which I am gutted about but I am going to start training again, I got some beaaautiful new trainers from Sweat shop. they were quite expensive £145 but that includes £45 for orthotics, I have incredibly flat feet thanks to my dad, so hopefully these shoes are going to protect my ankle and knee. Also they do a running club every tuesday and sunday, which I'm nervous about joining when I move to Manchester!!

That's all for now dears
