EXAM TIPS

now I'm sure a lot of you are aware that I have not posted in 2 months and I am ashamed. Everything has happened in these 2 months, my laptop has officially died, I've been having job interviews, I've been doing my personal statement, working but now I can tell you that my present this Christmas is a macbook so I have no excuse but to post to you guys that want to read my posts which I am so excited about! It also means that I can make my blog look better as I am writing posts on my phone at this very second! but another thing that which has made me feel the need to post is that I am currently doing exams so I thought I would use my experience to come up with a little guide to people who struggle to know where to start when it comes to exam preparation.

NUMBER 1 - get organised! 

as soon as you know what exams you have when and which subjects, make a timetable or if you are given one, highlight which exams you have on that day. I even know people who made a timetable so that when they don't have exams, they can know which normal lessons they have to go to (yawn) and make sure they have the right equipment for that lesson.

NUMBER 2 - attend revision classes! 

if you are lucky enough to have teachers at your school who will stay back after school and go over what is on the exam then go! even if you are one of those 'I don't stay back unless I'm in detention innit' kinda kids then still go because you can get all the right info and even extra revision tools like exam papers AND it means when you go home, you can say to your parents who are nagging to know what revision you've done 'well I've done some revision at school with my teacher already' and they'll lay off, trust me 

NUMBER 3 - REVISE

i hate revising too and usually I would put it off and hope for the best but it is important to revise because it will help you find the way that makes it go in. For example, I revise best by doing mind maps and interactive websites where you're tested and you get a score at the end. Other revise best by making intensive notes until silly 'o' clock in the morning. whichever way you can remember the most, do it as it will affect your grade.

NUMBER 4 - EAT BREAKFAST

now I am NOT a morning person and I barely have time to eat breakfast. My sister is the opposite and she can't stomach breakfast and never has been able to. But if you have an exam, eat something before hand! It will wake you up and get your brain working and also stop those EMBARASSING tummy rumbles in the middle of an exam.

NUMBER 5 - STAY CALM

some of you may be thinking how can she say that? but my sister panics loads before exams and there's no reason to. Obviously you want to get a good grade but panicking will make it worse. my form teacher once showed me this video and it is a rap basically saying that teachers are liars. Your GCSE results are not the end of the world or the start of it either. Low grades will not stop you from getting  your dream job, it may make it harder but it is not the end of the world, I'm going to link the video down below so take a look at it.

I hate to sound so geeky but I am far from being a geek and I just thought I'd play teacher for the day.

HEALTHY FOOD RECIPE - TEENBLOGSERIES #4

i just want to start this blog with a HUGE apology! there are several reasons why I haven't posted in weeks and I am extremely guilty, believe me! you may have noticed by my mixed up layout out that I do all my posts on the blogger app. This is because my laptop is the biggest pile of **** ever! now now, I shouldn't be swearing but really it is! And then what do I do? I end up with iPhone issues which I have only just got resolved. Not only this but I have recently been busy with college open evenings and job interviews! I think I'm just about organised now and I am so sorry, mainly to Anouska and Beth for posting 3 weeks late! I am going to catch up on all my posts this weekend so hopefully I'm either going to be caught up or only one post behind which will be uploaded midweek. Now back to the post...

when i first read the post titles, this one stuck out because I have actually been dieting myself since March and I feel that I have a little experience which can help me suggest healthy and scrummy foods to you all!

My recipe is MINI QUICHES! 

You will need...

- slices of white bread (I usually do 12 because they're only little!)

- butter

- 2 eggs 

- some milk (you will only need a tiny drop!) 

- cheese! whichever sort takes your fancy!

- another filling(s) so ham, mushroom, tomato etc.

- a muffin/bun tray

- a measuring jug

- a rolling pin!

- a circular biscuit cutter

How do you make it? 

1) use the butter to grease your tray, ready for when you're going to put them in the oven!

2) cut the crusts off each slice of bread and gently roll them out 

3) use a circle-shaped biscuit cutter (I think that's what they're called!) To cut a circle out of your now flattened slices of bread.

4) Put a layer of butter over each of your circles!

5) lay the circle over the tray and press down to shape it into the tray so you have a little crust.

6) in the centre of your little quiche shaped bread circle things, put in your cheese and whatever other toppings but not too much for now!

7) take out your measuring jug and crack two medium sized eggs! whisk to break the yolks before adding a splash of milk and a pinch of pepper! 

8) pour the mixture into each of the quiches and add more cheese and toppings if required!

9) place the tray into the oven and cook at 180 degrees max. Cook for 5/6 minutes at a time until our bread starts to go a bit golden!

10) take out of the oven and try one, they are best warm! 

This may not sound too healthy but they are lovely for a light tea with a side salad (not all 12 though!) 

Let me know if you've ever done anything like this before in the comments! Don't forget you can keep up with me on twitter (@MeganLucyBlogs) and Instagram (@meganlucyblogs)

I'm sorry for letting you all down!

MY FAVOURITE HIGHSTREET PICKS - TEENBLOGSERIES #3

its that time of week again where I try to read everyone's posts in one night and I end up staying up way too late! This Monday for the #teenblogseries, we have been asked to share our favourite highstreet store and a few of our favourite clothes from that store. It's an easy pick for me I must admit. 

My favourite clothes store in the whole entire world in NEW LOOK 

it makes me smile just thinking about it. I just love the modern decor in the shop and everything product on those shelves. So here's my favourite products as follows...(there may be half my wardrobe in this) also, I am NOT a photographer so sorry for the not so fancy pictures. 

My first pick is this dark red/maroon coloured jumper. I bought this last year for winter so I doubt they'll sell it now but it's jumper season so there'll be something similar I'm sure! It is THE comfiest jumper ever and I don't think it cost more than £20! It also has a little cute star at the bottom which doesn't fail to impress me (cos I'm like that) this jumper goes really well under Parker style coats as well for that winter look.

The next two I am doing together just because I love them equally but even more when they are worn together. I especially love the detail on the bottom of the black top and also the detail on the leggings. The leggings are extremely comfy and are new out so I'm sure you'll be able to get a pair yourself! this outfit is quite nice because with a nice pair of shoes you could wear it for a meal out or a family occasion but also it could be worn on a trip to the cinemas or shopping! 

 Now there's a good reason why I have got a picture of these shoes off the new look website rather than my own - white shoes don't stay white for very long...

now if you're like me, I wear converse everywhere! And I am a sucker for white shoes! but they don't stay white for long and converse is about £50 a pair. With these, they are a Tenner! I am probably on my 5th pair from new look and I have spent as much as I would on ONE pair of converse. the best thing is is that they sell them in the normal shoe department but also in the kids department which I thankfully still fit into (and they have watermelons inside!!!!) 

And last but definately not least, something a little more girly...

(Ignore the school socks) 

This is my favourite ever dress and I hope that it fits me as I grow up because I L.O.V.E it. I went shopping last year for a dress for my best friends party and saw this after spending all my money. I have to admit I was so gutted because I tried one in on the shop and everything. I then went through the terrible time of struggling to find it in a closer store or online. Fortunately it is and even if I do grow out of it or it gets ruined or something, I will be keeping it.

that's it for today's teen blog series post! feel free to link yours below or if you have any of these, let me know in the comments so I can get excited!

you know where you can find me...

BEST FOUNDATION ROUTINE - TEEN BLOG SERIES #2

so it's 18:25 because I lost track of time so I'm just going to try and get this post written up because as usual, I'm always late for things...

this post is number 2 of the #teenblogseries started by Beth and Anouska! I've read some really nice blogs all week and I can't wait read all this weeks! today's post is about what I think is the best foundation routine for teenagers. I've already mentioned all of these products on a previous post which I will link below if you want to go read and I think these products are so underrated!

my school is especially strict on make-up but I really wasn't keen on going to school for 6 hours a day with nothing to cover my eyebags from lack of sleep (which all teenagers should understand) and the random spot breakouts. a couple of years ago I did used to have a lot of spots and I used a rimmel foundation and I think that is what caused my spots. Eversince I used these products, my skin is less irritated and it does a great job! 

I used the 'Natural Collection' by Boots Pharmacies and the clues in the name really. It's a natural looking foundation so it is well suited to making me look more awake at school without a heavy 'too much foundation' and 'cheesy wotsit' kind of face! they usually cost about £2-£3 which is a lot less than many other makeup brands! 

They are available in many shades and they have other ranges of that shade for example mine is labelled 'shineaway' because I have quite oily and shiny skin so it stops that!

I think that it is a good foundation for teens because it is natural and can be worn at school and it's one of those foundations where people say 'you have such clear skin' and when you say 'oh yeah I have foundation on' it leaves them gobsmacked haha! personally it makes me feel comfortable and it doesn't irritate my skin. The pressed powder available in that range does sometimes make my skin a little dry and flaky (mostly on my nose) but you can always use a different powder or no powder at all.

I hope this post is helpful to those of you who are looking for a cheap foundation that doesn't irritate your skin and doesn't make you look like a tangerine. I'm sorry that this is late up and I promise I will make sure that next weeks is on time! 

 

Here is the link to the product I have reviewed to you:

MY HOLIDAY!!!

Now I hope you haven't forgotten who I am! Sorry for not posting in AGES and that's only down to 1 thing - I went on holiday! 

After waiting 4 and a half weeks, I finally set off to Cornwall! if you're unsure where that is because I have quite a few international readers (hello by the way) it is in the South west of England. Now you'd think it being England that the weather would be rain, rain and more rain. But thankfully, for most of the 14 years of going to the exact same place every summer holiday, that's not the case! I've sort of made this blog into the tag so feel free to pinch my questions and do your own!

so...

When did you go?

I went on the 14th August and came back on the 23rd!

Where did you go? (give the exact name)

I stayed in a village called Mawgan Porth with all the shops you need (cafés, a pub, a restaurant, a shop and deli with local produce and everyday things and most importantly the beach and sea!)

Who did you go with?

I went with my mum, my dad and my sister.

How long was the journey?

The journey took around 6 and a half hours and that was the same there and back.

What type of accommodation did you stay in?

I stayed in a gorgeous apartment which is really close to the sea. I've stayed there for 4years in a row now!

What was the weather like?

It was fairly mixed, some days were dull but we still managed to enjoy ourselves and I did actually get a tan which shows we did get a few hot days!

What was your favourite part of the holiday? 

My favourite bit about the holiday was probably either going to crealy which I'll tell you more about down below OR when the meals out, especially because we went to other towns nearby and ate abit later so we got to capture places at night. (It was sort of night, doesn't look that dark but still!)

I set off on the Thursday at 4:30 in the morning which was tiring but when I woke up from sleeping, it was 9am and I was now close to my ex's/good friend now and took the opportunity to go see him and spend the day with him and my sister. Even though he is my ex, I have mentioned on previous posts that we are like best friends now so it was a really good day! 

...HES VERY TALL

we then drove on and stopped at a place called Exeter for the night before travelling to Mawgan Porth where our holiday began. 

I'm going to leave you with some pictures I took there! 

please feel free to use this as your own sort of 'holiday tag' I'm not sure if there already is one but my bad!

I hate begging but it just helps me know who reads! 

Thanks for reading! 

Crealy... The kids theme park which me and my sister spent the day at. You are never too old for THESE slides! (And there's me looking like something off of paranormal activity)

You gotta love those log flume poses.

THE EYEBROW STORY + GETTING THEM WAXED!!!

so the other day I FINALLY got my eyebrows done! and it's about time (queue the embarassing pictures...)

unfortunately my eyebrows are quite naturally bushy and as I've got older, my hair has lightened so I always felt quite self conscious because they were darker than my hair. last year (58 weeks ago to be exact) I took this selfie and it was when I think I had quite a decent attempt at having evenly plucked eyebrows. 

The thing about my eyebrows here is that I didn't realise how ridiculous I looked pencilling them in hahaha! I think I went through one eyebrow pencil and then couldn't be bothered anymore. 

however I just want to say before someone thinks 'god look how uneven they are' that I am THE worst plucker ever. I literally stand by the mirror saying ouch repeatedly with my eyes tearing up. 

after not being able to pull off drawn on eyebrows, I kept to doing my plucking but of course I had to slip up somewhere! I ended up plucking a big chunk out and it looked like I had made a slit in my eyebrow (oops) 

So as you can see I wasn't really getting off to the best eyebrow game. 

I then ended up in the situation where I decided to keep plucking the odd bits when they grow back but try not to edit the shape. I got into my head that I should grow them out to then get them waxed but I think I've been waiting for about a year to get them sorted and I finally did this week. 

I have to say considering how nervous I was that I actually really enjoyed it. My sister didn't help as she went first and I was obviously watching and the beautician ripped the paper from my sisters eyebrows and she went 'ow that hurt!' 

if anyone doesn't know what waxing is or is considering getting there's done I recommend it. It hurts the first time they wax but you get used to it. It isn't as painful as plucking but at the place I went, they did do a mixture of plucking and waxing (probably about 70% waxing then 30% plucking to neaten them up) and the plucking hurt more than the actual waxing. The room was really nice and peaceful with some relaxing music and I just laid on the bed and I'm pretty sure next time I'll end up falling asleep through it hahaha. I'd say that the pain of getting braces on/off is far worse than waxing. So here's the before and after...

BEFORE

AFTER

I'm sorry for the lack of posts! It would really help if you could follow my Instagram (@meganlucyblogs) and my twitter (@MeganLucyBlogs) if you read my blog and also comment down if you've ever had your eyebrows waxed or if you're considering! let me know what you want me to post! thanks for reading!

Day At The Beach

so yesterday I was meaning to upload this but I was waiting to see if anymore pictures would be sent to me from the day. 

my cousin was 13 when I was born and he's always taken me and hannah places on days out and we used to go on holiday to the same place with my whole family for like 11 years before they stopped cos my grandmas getting on abit so we're really close. A lot of people have cousins a similar age to them where as I don't but the good thing is that they have babies!!! so get lots of new little great cousins. So yesterday, I got to spend the day with my cousin and his lovely girlfriend and their 14 week old baby Taylor.

(Hoping if my cousin ever sees this that he doesn't mind me putting this on) 

the place we went is on the east coast of Yorkshire and it's called Hornsea. (comment below if you've ever been) now I've never been there before so I was quite excited to see what it was like. When we got there, the weather was a little breezy but it was sunny and gradually through the day it got hotter which was nice! 

Way to check if you have a tan, wear a bobble for the day! (oops!)

so we walked along the promenade to see what there was but there wasn't much really but there was a beach, some sea, a few arcades, a lot of fish and chips shops and a town centre which we didn't go into. my cousin expected abit more but we decided to make the most of the fish and chip shops and the arcades...and the ice cream. I just love the food at the seaside. 

we sat on the beach for a while and age our fish and chips before making the decision to take a plunge in the sea. just to Warn anyone who DOESN'T live in the UK, the sea is usually so cold, you stand in it shivering the whole time but this year, the temperatures have risen and it wasn't too bad at all and it was quite nice to cool down. baby Taylor had a little dip (she dipped her feet in before people get worried) but she burst into tears and we realised that it wasn't a good idea. 

We then spent abit of time wasting our money in the arcade and decided to set off home. Now this journey was going so well until Taylor started to get uncomfortable and me being next to her had no idea to stop her screaming, bless her. We did manage to get home though and even though she didnt enjoy the way home and didn't sleep which she did on the way there, it was still a great day which was a change to me sitting at home doing nothing.

make sure you follow me on all my accounts and read my previous posts because I have some coming up over the next few days, sorry I failed blogust but I might as well blog things that people enjoy to read rather than a pointless one so that it counts as a blog a day! 

thank you for all the lovely comments and 50+ followers on BlogLovin and over 100 on Instagram!

see you soon!

THE LIEBSTER AWARDS

so yesterday I received a comment on my 'Mermaid Nails' blogpost (go check it out if you haven't already) from the lovely Tash (http://awinterdaze.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/liebster-awards.html?m=1) saying she had nominated me for a liebster award. Me being as dumb as I am, I thought it was an actual award and I was like 'what is this?' but then when I checked it out, I realised what it actually was! thank you for nominating me because it has given me today's blogpost! 

from what Tash has said, it's basically a way of showcasing new bloggers and letting them get involved and connected to other bloggers! the rules are simple. you thank the person for nominating and share their link. you are given some questions that you have to answer and then you nominate 10 people to do this. Then you ask questions for those people to answer. So here goes...

1. Where is your favourite place to sit and blog?

anywhere! I usually lie in bed at night and write blogposts as they enter my head on the blogger app.

2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? 

This seems like a simple question but since I've only been to Austria skiing I have a lot to explore in the world. I probably would go and live for a month somewhere then move to somewhere else so like a trip around the world!

3. Favourite season? 

Probably winter because our summers you can't say 'I can't wait for summer for all the hot beach days' because you can't guess what the British weather will be like. I love the dark nights with the fire on.

4. Lipstick or nail polish? 

NAIL POLISH

5. High heels or flats? 

Flats because I'd probably fall in heels

6. If you have a million dollars, what would you spend it on?

 I'd go shopping and I'd just customize my own house just the way I want it! I'd also give abit to charity too :)

7. Favourite youtuber? 

zoella or thatcherjoe, gotta love the suggs.

8. Why did you start blogging? 

I used to read quite a lot of blogs and I watch so many youtubers that I just used to sit there and think 'I wish I could be like that' another reason is that I got bored and had a little moment where I thought why not? I was going to start a blog anyway when I left school so I don't get made fun of but that's another year to wait!

9. Who's your number one inspiration? 

I actually have no idea. Anyone that's happy and gets on with all the things they want to do and tries to achieve it inspire me to do the same. My weight loss inspiration is my mum (and now dad) because my mum lost way over 3 stone and her and my dad are still at it so they just buy loads of healthy things that I can eat which keeps me going.

10. If you could only read one blog, who's would it be? 

zoella probably but there's loads! 

11. Your most embarrassing moment?

 in year 9, I was hit by a football in the face and I just heard all the boys go OOOOOOH and I cried for the next hour in English. There's way too many to name. 

I nominate...

1) http://lauraandamelia.wordpress.com

2) http://www.colxurful.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 

3) http://a-touch-of-sparklexo.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/make-up-and-fashion-haul.html?m=1 

4) http://justsamia.blogspot.de/?m=1

5) http://bellabluelovesfashion.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

6) http://www.wonderfullittleworld.com/

7) http://beautyybychloe.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 

8) http://thisfashiongirl.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 

9) http://floralblush.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

10)http://afashionoddity.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 

I also nominate a new blogger who happens to be my twin sister! go and give her some views and support! 

http://awaywiththedaisys.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 

Some may not be new bloggers but I love your blogs and you've given me nice comments about mine some of you so I wanted to return the favour! you by no means have to do this but if you do, link me the blogpost and I'll be sure to read it!

my questions for you are the ones that tash gave me because I can't think of any other good ones! 

1. Where is your favourite place to sit and blog?

2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

3. Favourite season?

4. Lipstick or nail polish?

5. High heels or flats?

6. If you have a million dollars, what would you spend it on?

25) if I could change one thing about myself instantly it would be my figure because changing it myself is taking too long 

26) I cannot wait to drive so that I can go to McDonald's on little night drives.

27) the last movie I watched was Saw III and now I'm never living alone.

32) I absolutely love going on walks even though where I live there isn't fun. I just keep walking til I find a nice view :) 

33) type in the Yorkshire accent on YouTube and that is what my accent is - I HATE it.

34) my favourite accents (especially on boys) are southern ones like London and where joe sugg lives and I also could listen to an australian speak all day. 

35) one thing I cannot wait to do is buy my own place so that I can choose what each room looks like and make it all pretty 

36) my favourite movie at the moment is mrs doubtfire because every scene has me in tears (I don't even know why because not all the scenes are funny but most are)

37) one moment I wish I could relive is when my team won at wembley because it took a whole game plus extra time and then a penalty shoot out which we were almost losing to know who the winner was. It was so scary but such a good feeling.

38) my favourite place at the moment is flamingo land which is a theme park in North Yorkshire. ITS BRILL.

Mermaid Nails!

Hey guys! so if you follow my twitter (@meganlucyblogs) you'll know that today i went out shopping for some new nail polish and the picture above shows the ones I actually bought. I just want to say that I'm not a nail artist and I have THE worst nails in the world. My school say no nail polish and that means that when i get bored in class (which we all do) I end up biting my nails and have done since i was like 6 so they're really short but thankfully because it's the summer holidays, i have time to let them grow!

The two I'm going to show today are the ones which have a gold lid. I spotted these and I was like 'oooooh mermaid' because I'm easily impressed by anything! Barry M do a 'Aquarium collection' and they are really really really nice. They cost £3.99 each but right now they're buy one get one half price so if i were you, I'd go stock up on Barry M now (you heard it here first)

            
The colour on the left is shade/colour 'Pacific' and the glittery one on the right is called 'Treasure Chest' and i can see why!

So what was the end result? (this is where you see how hard it is to paint short nails)

i originally thought about using make up sponges to do ombre on all the nails but instead i just painted one finger and I'm really happy with the result. I envy any of you who has long nails because it would look so much better than mine!
If anyone does decide to try this, please do tag me on instagram or send me a dm on twitter, I'll link all my accounts below as usual. make sure you follow because I put on sneak peeks of what my daily blogs are!

My Daily Make-up Routine!

Hey guys! just letting you all know that I'm going to be doing 'blogust' and attempting to post a new blog everyday (exaggeration on the attempting because I may run out of blog post ideas haha)

today's blog is a simple and hopefully shorter one than my previous ones which would be fab if you could go read! I decided to share my daily make up routine. I have used these products for over a year and that maybe because I haven't tried any others so if you know any good foundations, comment them below please and I'll experiment! 

The foundation I use is this. it's from the 'Natural Collection' at Boots and I use the shade 'Biscuit' it is also really cheap at £1.99! The reason I use this cheap foundation brand is because my school started to ban make up and there was no way I was going into school bare-faced and I have to say that for a whole school year, no teacher questioned me because it's such a discrete foundation but it does cover up the eye bags and little faults in your skin! I also have noticed it doesn't irritate my skin at all! 

I also buy the pressed powder to go with it and that also only costs £1.99! 

If your school is as strict as mine on make up but you don't want to go into school without anything on your face, I definately recommend these two.

(Sorry for the chipped nail polish)

The mascara that I use everyday, even at school is the 'Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Volumizing Mascara' in Black. i absolutely love this mascara! It does make my lashes a lot longer and my eyelashes aren't naturally long so it does help! This costs £6.99 and is sold at most drugstores like superdrug and boots.

please comment below some reccomendations for me and remember to follow these...

Life in a Snapshot || Part 1

does anyone else find it amazing how we have pictures that show a snapshot of a memory or something you once went through? the fact that that picture took a few seconds to take but you have a for a lifetime? I'm beginning to sound really deep but I promise I'm not! I was thinking of what I could post and because today was such a boring stay home kinda day, I ended up flicking through some old photo albums which gave me an idea.

I don't know if anyone's ever done this before but feel free to pinch this idea and do it for yourself and comment if you do and if you like my random idea!

the idea is to post 1 photo for every year of your life so for me that would be 15. Because I'm unsure on dates, I'm just going to do a mixture of my favourite pictures throughout my life, all at different ages. It can be an embarassing picture from the start of high school, a cute picture of you and your friends or family or it can be just one that makes you laugh, it's up to you (and believe me, I have way more than 15 cringeworthy pictures but I don't wanna scare people off just yet!) so yeah, ENJOY! I'm gonna do a part 1 & 2 or it'll be really long.

Snapshot 1 - 

here is a family holiday minus mum who's probably taking the picture (stating the obvious there Megan) this is one of my favourites because a) I'm splashing my sister and she's crying (sorry hannah) and b) because my dad is being so sympathetic! hahaha brilliant 😂

Snapshot 2! 

this photo is pretty recent and it's taken on my geography teachers last day (le cri :'( ) I'm still absolutely gutted he's left because he was my favourite teacher! if you ever see this mr sykes, hope Switzerland works out!

Snapshot 3

 This is the worst photo ever of me and I hadn't yet started to lose weight yet (hence the chipmunk cheeks) but it was when me and my friend met harry seaton! if you don't know who he is; search him on iTunes / youtube / Instagram / Facebook / twitter / soundcloud because his voice is so good I cannot describe it! unfortunately we couldn't go to his gig but he came out and saw us when we were shopping in Leeds during the day!

Snapshot 4

I like both of these photos but there's a reason why. this is one of my best friends and we met at playschool which for you Americans is like daycare but then she left to go to another one and a different primary school which my mum said I cried for ages when she did! but then when I started high school, we were in the same form and we were sort of reunited and it's weird that we have a picture from when we were younger to compare to loads since we re-met in 2010!

Snapshot 5!

This isn't an attractive photo at all. we are in an elevator. But these people are my world. they're there when I'm upset, when I need someone to talk to, when I need a hug or when I need a laugh. I've never seen a picture of me and my friends where our personalities show as much. this is us in a picture. 

Snapshot 6!

this isn't a photo where if it ended up lost somewhere when I move out I would cry over losing it but it's one that I found funny just because my parents clearly placed me on this for some cute pictures but 3/4 I'm not even looking at the camera! I'm sure someone else has similar pictures right?

Snapshot 7!

I hope you don't think I'm bad for putting a picture on with old women I couldn't even name but I know that this was my great grandma's carehome and it makes me happy to see them smiling. For all I know, they could have been in pain or lonely or fed up because they can't look after themselves anymore but they seem to look happy just because a set of twins has been brought in.

I'm gonna stop here because I need to find more haha! if you want a part 2, please comment or follow me on my Instagram and let me know! I'll link all my accounts here, please make sure you follow them if you like my blog! 

see you soon and have fun all! x
