How I Plan My Blog
A lot of people may say blogging is easy, you just do it when you get bored and sit down at your computer some days, think on the spot and write. Now, some people may do that, and there's nothing wrong with it! But, I like to plan out as I love planning and being organised as I stress out if I don't know what I'm going to write about.

Why I've Decided To Change And Keep Fit And Healthy | 2016
It's January, the month were everyone wants to get on the healthy eating and fitness wagon. Every January from around about the age of 18 I've been healthy for a few weeks then went back to the biscuit tin, and moped about for the remainder of the year wondering why I'm putting on weight and not toning up. Laziness, that's all it is!
So, this year I've decided to change lazy ways and get healthy! I'm not lazy in the sense of sitting watching tv every day, I have a job which I am constantly on my feet for and do around about 10,000 steps a day. It's when I get home after a 6 to 9 hour shift and just want to nap, lose my motivation and prefer to sit and cuddle my boyfriend whilst watching our next amazing season of a tv show we've came across!

The Best of 2015!
Where has this year gone? like seriously!? This has been the quickest year of my life so far, it really feels like I've blinked and it's the new year!
This year has had many ups and downs, as does every year really. But I'm not getting into the life lessons and bad things as I've actually wrote a blog on that down below! So go check that out!
I have had a pretty fantastic year, starting off in January seeing one of my favourite bands, Slipknot, to then meeting McBusted and having Tom Fletcher (from McFly) recognise you as you walk straight into the room, now that doesn't happen very often does it? I got to experience going to one of my boyfriends favourite bands, Papa Roach for the first time and it was crazy! Followed by my 21st Birthday which was a night I'll never forget (well the photos looked great, aha). My 21st truly showed me who is there for me and that I have one crazy bunch of people I call friends! Then, from friends having babies, going to see R5, Skerryvore Decade and 5SOS with old friends and A LOT of nights out too which if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have grown closer to people, who at the start of the year it would just be a quick 'hi' in the street!
Every single person who made my 2015 a good one, thank you! I've had a fantastic time and I cannot wait to spend 2016 with you all!

Chatty Sunday | Blogmas | Day Twenty
5 days before Christmas. Where has the time gone!? As soon as it hits the final 5 days before, I get right into the Christmas mood! So here's what I've achieved and still to look forward to before this year is over!
1. Our Christmas decorations are up. Only one thing that we can't do this year is put presents underneath our tree, why? because my dog Spencer now thinks it's okay to open people's presents as they think their his.. what a wee minx!
2. My Christmas hours at work have started! *Cries* Thinking 6 am starts are bad? Try 4 am! Setting an alarm for 3 in the morning breaks my heart, whilst everyone is cosy in bed, or coming home from nights out I'm starting my day at work, only good thing is the early finish! Thank goodness!
3. Family time! I've had a lot of family time over the festive period. I've had lovely days in with my parents, chilling and watching Christmas movies, but also having family meals with my boyfriend and his family. It's great to go out with someone with a big family as for me it's just the 3 of us, but my boyfriend has 6 of them around a table which is a lot different to me! It brings us closer together and it's makes me very happy to be apart of his family!
4. Nights out! I love this time of year as it's the time I can put on my fancy dresses, have a bottle of champagne with the girls and dance the night away! My work Christmas night out is the 23rd so i'm really looking forward to letting my hair down after the busy few weeks we've had!
5. My friends who live away are home! Some of my best friends live away due to Uni, and I miss them a lot when they are away! We may not get to talk as much as I'd like, so I'm excited to have them back and have a catch up!
There's not long left of this year but I have a lot to look forward to! I can't wait to have a lovely Christmas with my friends and family! What are you looking forward to?

What I've Learnt About Myself This Year | Blogmas | Day Seventeen
I've been sitting on this idea for a while now, wondering if I should post this. I wasn't going to, but, I class my blog as my diary and a good way to look back on how far I've come!
This year in particular I've learnt an awful lot about myself, and well, life! Life can be difficult sometimes can't it? I'm now 21 and when I thought my teenage years would be the hardest, boy was I wrong! This is the time in your life you find out who your real friends are, who to trust and not to trust and to, well, start growing up! And I've done a lot of that this year! So, here's what I've learnt!
Friends. I love my friends, a lot, but I started off the year with a lot more than I have now. This time last year I had a great group of friends, there was a good lot of us and I went from having a group who were inseparable , to about 3. That sucked. BIG time! Things changed, it was a simple as that. You grow older and realise who to trust and who not to, I must now only have about 4 good friends who I can trust with my life. These guys below mean the world to me, from my school friends to the friends I've became closer to this year. Thank you, you guys rock! (Not all my close friends are in these below as don't have up to date photos, but you guys mean just as much, you know who you are).
Not caring what people think of me. I used to care, a lot! I used to get upset and dwell on it for hours or even days, which thinking back was so stupid of me! The person that really changed my way of thinking, and not caring anymore, was my boyfriend. We have been through a lot together and noticing that he didn't care what others thought really pushed me to not care and do things that made me happy. I used to put others happiness before mine, but for once putting mine first really changed me and made me a better person. I'm a lot more open with someone if I have a problem and if someone doesn't like me because they heard something I done, I don't care. I ignore it or that person and move on. Life is way to short.
Saving. I've learnt to finally save money and not spend it on makeup or clothes. Next year is a complete fresh start for my boyfriend and I. We are moving away and talking about the future really gets me excited! It's definitely what we need, and being able to see the money we've saved on our own place will really show me that saving has finally payed off!
I've a had a lot of great times this year, but this one especially has been a learning curve for me! What have you learn about yourself this year? Let me know!

Down below I've listed who I religiously follow throughout December, some you will definitely of heard of, but others it might be someone new for you to follow! Here's my favourites!
Zoe Sugg | More Zoella & Alfie Deyes | PointlessBlogVlogs
Zoe and Alfie are a couple and are doing separate daily vlogs over Christmas. They both appear in each others vlogs with their gorgeous pug, Nala! There's a lot of laughs and you really get a good insight of what they get up to, they really don't miss much out which I love! I really loved the one were Zoe's brother Joe (ThatcherJoe on Youtube) was drunk, had me in fits of giggles!
Gabriella Lindley | PlanetGabb
I love Gabby! Her vlogs are so chatty and it honestly feels like I'm sitting down at night to find out what my friend has done through December! She spends most of the time in her home but I love vlogs where you can just sit and get to know someone by watching them potter about their apartment and really gives a look into what their lives are really like! She also has a gorgeous cat, Nellie to!
The Michalaks | The Michalaks
The Michalaks are a family of three, Hannah, Stef & Grayson. Their vlogs I feel are like a work of art! They are so well documented and you really do see their ups and downs!
Louise | Sprinkle Of Chatter
I'm loving Louise's vlogs at the moment! They feature her gorgeous daughter, Darcy and they really are such a great team together! I don't think I stop smiling whilst I watch their vlogs!
Tanya Burr | Tanya Burr & Jim Chapman | EveryDayJim
Tanya and Jim are married and complete couple goals! They have a miniature dachshund, Martha and I'm just in love with her!
Fleur De Force | FleurDeVlog
Fleur features her husband, Mike and her 3 gorgeous dogs! You'll honestly laugh out loud at her 3rd vlogmas when they do a Dog Lookbook! It had me in complete stitches and I really have the urge to dress my dog up now, sorry Spencer!
These are the people that really inspire me, and inspired me to start my blog all those years ago! There are a lot more of my favourite youtubers that unfortunately aren't taking part in vlogmas this year! Who are your favourite vloggers or even bloggers to follow? Let me know!

The Christmas Tag | Blogmas | Day Fourteen
I'm starting getting back into my blog by doing blogmas! Today's blog is a little boring and about my Christmas traditions and well, a little bit about me, sorry guys! This is a little laid back today and that's just because on the week before Christmas my life can be hectic with work! Hope you enjoy!
What's your favourite Christmas Movie?
It's such a hard decision between Elf and The Holiday! Even though Elf is hilarious I'd definitely choose The Holiday! It's a movie full of emotions and laughter and one minute I feel like i'm tearing up and the next I'm laughing out loud! Id definitely give this a watch if you haven't watched this!
Do you open presents on Christmas morning or Christmas evening?
I get straight into opening presents as soon as I wake up, there's no stopping me! It's only myself and my parents so the three of us sit on the couch opening presents, with Christmas music on, munching chocolate and passing our presents around, getting excited at each others reactions! It's a really special time for me, I really love family time!
Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
Every Christmas is very special to me, but I'd have to say when i was about 6/7 my Uncle from Canada surprised me on Christmas morning! I don't get to see him a lot so that really meant a lot to me, even as a child! Family is so important to me, and I love when we all get together!
What's your favourite festive food?
Pigs in blankets are my absolute favourite! When they arrive in supermarkets at the end of November I honestly can't contain my excitement! I really need to stock up as it's on 11 days until Christmas! How crazy!
What's been your favourite Christmas gift?
I don't think I can pick one, as each gift I receive I really do appreciate and love! My parents are always so generous, and I can't thank them enough for making every Christmas special for me!
What's your favourite Christmas scent?
I love a good spicey candle, but it has to be Sparkling Cinnamon by Yankee Candle. I LOVE cinnamon and I feel Christmas is the only time I can light cinnamon candles without being moaned at because it's too strong!
Do you have a Christmas Eve Tradition?
Ever since I was a little girl on Christmas Eve my parents give me pjs so I can have a new set to wear for Christmas morning, it's a little thing that's became a tradition to me, and I want to do that when I eventually start a family! I also snuggle up in bed watching a Christmas movie with a lot of junk food, as it's Christmas after all!
What tops your tree?
A blue and silver sparkly bird, not too sure what type though! Sorry guys!
As a child, what was the one (crazy, extravagant) gift you wanted but never got?
I remember I wanted an electric car as one of the boys who live from me had one, and we used to cruise around my street in it! Apparently it was a hilarious sight to see! But, I harped on about an electric car for a while!
What do you think is the best part of Christmas?
Spending time with family and friends! I love this time of year! Work seems a much happier enviroment to work in as everyones in a fantastic mood, I get to see extended family who I don't get to see much of during the year, spend time with my boyfriends family which is always a good laugh and get very drunk with my best friends! Perfect!

My Favourite Christmas Movies | Blogmas | Day Eleven
I work right up until the 23rd of December and even though work go all out with Christmas I never seem to feel in that Christmas mood, as all I have on my mind is work! So what I usually like to do during the week or so before Christmas is to watch my favourite Christmas movies! I throw on my onesie, grab a hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream, and grab a good old fashion Christmas movie to get me into the spirit!
So, here are my top 5 Christmas movies I can't not watch throughout December!
The Holiday | This might have to be my favourite movie of all time, and no that's not because Jude Law is in it.. well, maybe! But aside from that, it's such a winter warmer, filled with laughs and all the emotions on the run up to Christmas! It brings people together in all sorts of ways and is just such a feel good film!
Elf | Without a doubt one of the funniest films I've watched! It's about Buddy the elf having to adjust to life outside the North Pole, and the hilarity along the way! Really is a feel good, family film!
Love Actually | With such a fantastic cast I knew this film would be a popular Christmas movie! This is a film with a lot of different stories, but each story has a link to one another. I love films that bring people together and this is definitely one of them.
Home Alone | This really doesn't need a introduction as this is without a doubt played every year at Christmas time on TV. It's about a little boy who's left home alone and he gets up to mischief. I don't want to write too much as if you've not watched it, I'd definitely give it a watch.
Matchmaker Santa | This was a film I came across one day while I was watching TV with my Mum. She always finds the cheesy Christmas films which is about love and finding mr right and this is one of these films. You always need to watch one cheesy film at Christmas and I'd definitely recommend this.

Winter Clothes Wishlist | Blogmas | Day Nine
As Winter is here it's time to put my Summer clothes away and bring out my scarfs, wooly jumpers and fluffy coats!

I'm loving the dark reds and greys this year, it's definitely those colours I've been reaching out for whenever I get ready! Here is what I've found and fallen in love with!
What are your staple Winter pieces? Let me know in the comments below!

Winter Lipsticks | Blogmas | Day Eight
Winter is my favourite time of month, purely because I can rock the red and purple lipsticks during the day and not just for nights out! Here are my winter shades that I can't live without! Link on where to buy them are down below!
* My Ted Baker lipstick came as part of a set. I've left a link to the Ted Baker beauty range.
I'd love to know in the comments below what your winter lipsticks recommendations are, so I can hopefully try out new brands and shades!
Here I'm wearing Kate Moss in the shade 107. Definitely my favourite red lipstick I own.

My Christmas Playlist | Blogmas | Day 7
This is my favourite time of year, Christmas trees are up, Christmas movies become part of your night time routine and you get excited when your favourite Christmas advert comes on. It's acceptable to dress down at work and wear whatever hilarious or cute Christmas jumpers you want and everyone seems to be in such a happier mood. It's the end of the year and it's starting to get into party season! So other than all of those listed from above I've mentioned, I also love to listen to my Christmas playlist! So I got straight onto Spotify to share with you guys what songs get me into the Christmas spirit! Enjoy!

My Favourite Christmas Jumpers I've Seen Online | Blogmas | Day 6
The past few weeks I've been searching high and low for the perfect Christmas jumpers for work. I love wearing Christmas jumpers, and it gets me right into the Christmas spirit! So, here are my top 6 Christmas jumpers I've found online.
Gingerbread Christmas Sweater | Next | £22 - £26 | I actually received this jumper earlier on this week and I absolutely love it! I love the sequins on their Christmas hats, as it gives it that little bit of sparkle.
Penguin Christmas Jumper | Next | £20 | This is a jumper I've ordered and excited to receive! I love penguins, so this jumper was a must have for me! It's also one of the cheapest Christmas jumpers I've found too.
Paperchase Make Your Own Christmas Jumper | Asos | £15 | I must admit I got a little excited when I found this as I've never seen anything like it before! In this pack you get, a red jumper, baubles, bells, cotton wool, pipe cleaners, bows and some snowflake sequins! You could definitely add on more though! This would be a great gift too.
Reindeer Christmas Jumper | Boohoo | £15 | This is quite a simple Christmas jumper but I really like it. You can get this jumper in red or black, but I'd definitely choose the red option.
Reindeer Flashing Lights Jumper | Tesco | £20 | I've searched everywhere for a light up Christmas jumper and I've finally found one! This is such a cute jumper and I really hope they have some left so I can purchase one!
Fur Jumper | Lipsy | £38 | A little on the expensive side, but how cosy does this look!? I don't think I'd ever take this off if I had it! I mean, look at that hood!

What I got for my 21st Birthday.
It's been a while. A VERY long time since I blogged. I'd be lying if I said i'd been busy for the past few months and had no time. Honestly, I didn't want to post blog posts when my heart wasn't 110% into them. Every time I sat down and started to write I'd delete it as it wasn't good enough or up to standards as i'm a perfectionist at heart. But I'm back. I feel like i'm back to myself so a easy blog post to get things started again.
A wee disclaimer before I show you my presents. I am not bragging in any way possible, as some people will want to know what I got!
As well as these VERY thoughtful and amazing gifts I got a lot of alcohol, money towards my new car, books, chocolate, flowers and a shopping spree of my wonderful boyfriend! I didn't want to take photos of all of that though!

McBusted's Most Excellent Adventure Tour | Review & Spoilers.
McBusted's tour has just kicked off and I was lucky enough to go to the first two dates in Glasgow. I splurged and spent £200 on Omfg tickets which is standing and the closest tickets to the stage and also VIP. On the second date I bought seating tickets to relax and to rest my feet from all the dancing I done the night before!
If you want a night filled with singing your heart out and dancing until you think your feet are going to fall off, then this tour is for you! They sing McFly and Busted hits which will bring you straight back to your younger years and also songs off their new album which if I do say so myself are incredible.
McBusted Live |
They kicked off the night with Air Guitar, the first song released by McBusted themselves which got the whole crowd jumping up and down, screaming from the top of our lungs. They sang other hits like Stargirl, 5 colours in her hair, Crashed the wedding and 3am and also a few McBusted songs like Get over it and Hate your guts.
Half way through the set they moved to the B stage, a Delorean car came down from the ceiling and McBusted stepped out and kicked off with Air-hostess which was incredible. After ending on the B stage with Beautiful Girls are the Loneliest, the place went dark and wedding music started playing. Fans were throwing confetti as Harry led the way while the rest of the boys were walking behind in wedding dresses which was absolutely hilarious, you might be able to guess what they started playing? Well I hope you do!
The energy the boys have whilst onstage 100% rubs off on the fans as the whole night everyone was on their feet, dancing. They interact with the crowd throwing out t-shirts and having a laugh among each other on stage which is refreshing as a lot of bands these days don't do that. It's lovely to see after 12 years of Mcfly and 2 years of McBusted the chemistry is still there.
McBusted Vip |
Once in your life you should splurge and get VIP to any of your favourite shows, as it was the best experience of my life. I have been lucky enough to meet Mcfly 6 times and McBusted twice now just by waiting at hotels, and through McFly's website. So when this opportunity came up I couldn't turn it down. The whole buzz of a meet and greet is incredible, everybody is standing in a line shaking, speaking about what they're going to say and do and it's just a lovely feeling that everyone is feeling the same way as you are.
With McBusted's VIP experience you got a commemorative ticket, lanyard and wristband. Then escorted through backstage until we stopped at a door. You could hear them cheering and talking, which hearing that made me shake like a leaf, even if I had met them before.
A group of six walk in. The door closed and our experience began. I was second up to meet them, I hugged Tom first and as he's my favourite member, I wouldn't shut up speaking to him. As I was about to move onto hug Dougie, Tom asked if he knew me, as he remembers me from meeting them outside the hotel they were at last year. I was completely shocked and it totally brought out my fangirl inside, I was speechless. Of course Dougie asked what we got up to in the hotel as he is the joker of the group! Typical! I then went round and met the rest of the band from Tom to Dougie, then James, Matt, Harry and Danny. Matt, Harry and Danny thought my name was Keira, which after I corrected them they were shouting 'ohhh Karinaaaa, Karinaaa' which gave us all a good chuckle.
We got a group photo, and then a cupcake with 'D' on them, as it was Danny's birthday which was a lovely touch.
Have you been to see McBusted? Or even met them? What was your experience like?
There are still plenty of tour dates left to catch McBusted on tour, you can find them here.

My Top 5 Handbag Beauty Essentials.
Tangle Teezer | Everyone needs to have one of these, or five. My hair gets tuggy very easy especially living next to the sea so it's a must that I take this with me everywhere I go. It's the best £10.99 I ever spent. A little pricey but definitely worth it!
COLAB Dry Shampoo | I used to swear by Batiste dry shampoo until I finally found this in Superdrug on special offer! A lot of youtubers and beauty bloggers have been raving about this and I completely understand why. I feel this dry shampoo actually works and does wonders to my hair and leaves no white mark on my hair after like Batiste does. You get them in different scents, but Paris and Tokyo are my definite favourites.
Chanel | Chance Perfume | When I wear this I spend at least a good few minutes standing there smelling how good it is. Chance is definitely one of my favourite perfumes I own even if I don't want to use it because of the price tag. Every girl needs an expensive perfume and I'd definitely try this out before anything else.
Urban Outfitters Holographic Nail Polish | Unfortunately they don't sell the nail polish I own but they do have two new holographic nail polishes out in 'Ariel' and 'Disco Fever'. Out of every nail polish I own (which is a lot) this is my favourite! I take this everywhere with me, and in my personal opinion it doesn't chip easily.
Carmex | I've started using this again as in the winter months I suffer from a lot of colds which leads to my lips being chapped. I used to use vaseline which is probably the worst lip product I have tried and I find now that carmex does the job perfectly!

My 'Go To' Beauty Books.
Tanya Burr - Love, Tanya
Fleur De Force - The Glam Guide
Lauren Conrad - Beauty
Without social media these days us beauty lovers old and new wouldn't have the first clue on the latest trends and how to make that perfect smokey eye. I remember a few years ago I'd spend hours on youtube and blogs trying out new make up and hair ideas wishing I could make it look that good, then a week later completely forgetting where I saw that video or blogpost and then beginning my search all over again.
These days though talented beauty bloggers and youtubers are releasing their own beauty books which I'm ecstatic about as I'd rather sit and cosy up with a good read than sit in front of a computer screen all day searching for something which I might never find.
My top three beauty books are my own personal opinion. All three are completely different and give us a completely different outlook on their lives, beauty, hair and skincare routines, fitness routines and blogging tips, which for me is a plus!
If you are interested in starting a youtube or blog or even just wanting some tips on beauty related ideas I'd definitely give these books a read!
Links to buy these books are above!

CHANEL | Les 4 Ombres Palette | Tissé Vénitien
I recently went on a massive shopping spree and picked up this little beauty from House of Fraser. As soon as I tried these colours I knew I'd be walking out the shop with this in my hand!
I picked this because of the smokey and metallic shades, and I know metallic shades make my blue eyes stand out. I was however unsure of this at first as I never use blue eye shadows but I thought I'd go out my comfort zone and try something different.
This palette is available here or at any other high end make up stores. You can get this palette in other shades and they also come in different effects, matte, satin, and metallic. They also glide on smoothly and don't crease. It is a little pricey at £40 but every girl needs to splurge and this definitely is worth the money. This palette is a compact size with a good sized mirror and comes with two eye shadow applicators and a black Chanel sleeve.
Do you have a Chanel palette and if so which one? Would love to know other ones I can try out!

Top 10 Favourites of 2014.
Ted Baker Purple Lipstick
In 2014 I didn't buy a lot of products like I usually do. So, thinking of 10 products I loved in 2014 was proven difficult but then I realised one thing, I just had to go to my handbag and the rest fell into place.
Clothes & Handbag | I love to wear statement pieces and especially this winter I have loved wearing chunky boots and massive scarfs. I don't tend to wear bright colours so my tartan scarf is something I can't leave the house without. I think everyone should own one as it adds a pop of colour to every outfit.
My 'Cromia' Handbag is something I can't live without. I got this as a present from my parents when they went on holiday to Italy in June and I haven't stopped using it since. It's the perfect size and can fit all my main essentials I need daily. I can't find this bag online but definitely check out Cromia's website as you wont be disappointed.
Perfume | I have ranted and raved about wanting this perfume and finally for Christmas I received 'Daisy Dream'. I can't even begin to explain my love for this! It's smells so fresh and feminine and you should definitely go out and try it for yourself!
Books | 'Girl Online' by Zoe Sugg only came out on the 25th of November but it's by far one of my favourite books. I couldn't put this book down and sat up until 4am one morning as I had to see how it ended. Now that's a sign of a good book. I wont give the plot away so I'll leave you to read it for yourself.
Apple 5th Gen Ipod | Apple products are a hit and a miss with some people, you either love them or hate them. Myself on the other hand love their products. I can't live without my ipod, I take it everywhere with me not just for the music but also for the apps. Kim Kardashian's game 'Hollywood' is my favourite app of last year as there's something about being an A Lister that brings me back to play more.
What are your favourites of 2014?
