The Liebster Award!

Hi there! So I had not heard about this until my friend posted about it and nominated me for it. I think it is a really good idea to gain a greater audience for blogs under 200 followers. Now I thought about that I thought wow! That's a lot of followers. Now as I started searching for blogs to nominate I realised that actually, its a lot harder than I thought. So you can read my friends post, here. So, here are her questions that I will answer now!

1. Which Coffee house is your favourite? (Starbucks, Costa etc.) 

My favourite coffe house (which is no surprise if you know me) is Costa! I love it so much and could not live without it.
2. Favourite place to shop online?

My favourite place to 'shop' online is Forever 21. I don't usually shop online but I go on Forever 21 alot and just cry over the things that I can't afford.

My celebrity style has got to be Zoe Sugg also known as Zoella. I love her style and hair and everything about her! If I could be anyone it would be her!
4. Who is your celebrity crush? (Male & Female)

My male celebrity crush is (surprise surprise) Niall Horan. I love One Direction and all of the boys but my favourite has to be Niall. I don't actually have a female celebrity crush. I have never really thought about it before, so I guess I don't have one.
5. Heels or flats?

I want to say heels for the main reason of they make me taller, but I wear flats a lot more because they are comfier than having to wear heels for the whole day.
6. What is your favourite thing to blog about?

Even though I have only just started to blog about it, I have started to love sharing what I have done with my week. It makes me sound busy and like I have more of a life than I actually do.

I could not live without Skinny Jeans. Any colour skinny jeans I just can't leave without them.
9. Who inspires you?

The person who inspires me is Jade out of Little Mix. I love her personality and everything she does makes me laugh and make me realise its okay to do what I want sometimes.
10. Favourite cosmetic brand?

I have to say my favourite brand is Collection (which used to be named Collection 2000). Mainly because Little mix have there make-up line with them.
11. Which era would you love to go back in time to visit for the fashion?

Nails Monday #3!

Hi there! It is Monday so you all know what that means! It's Nails Monday Week Number 3! So today I had to get up at 8 just to return a camera to college on the day that I have off. I went and had some breakfast at Costa. (If you know me that is no surprise at all!) I came home eat half a Lemon Meringue Pie and then slept and started on my nails. The nails I have decided on this week is something that I got from the book The Hunger Games. If you haven't read the Hunger Games I would definitely recommend it but it is a flame design on my nails. I have used the OPI Natural Base Coat, Barry M in the colour 347 in Blood Orange, Barry M in the colour 329 in Mango, Barry M in the colour 329 in B and Nails Inc. in New York Noir. To do this design I have used a Nail Tool.

 

 

 

To start of with I used my Nail Tool to do the red part of the flames. I used the brush end. I started off by doing the outline of the flames. Don't worry if it doesn't look quite right because you can just go back over it with the Black in the next step.

 

 

After I did the red flame part I used the Black Nail Polish to fill in the top part of my nail. I went in between the red flames, corrected any mistakes I made and made it look half presentable seeing as I am not as good at this. I cleaned the brush part of my Nail Tool and used that again.

 

 

After doing this I used the brush part of the Nail Tool again. I dabbed orange and yellow at the bottom of my nail to make it look more like a flame design. I did 2 layers of the Orange and then 1 layer of Yellow and the another layer of Orange on top, so it is all blended in. While each layer of each different colour is partly wet dab on the other colour and then wait til it is partly wet again and do it again. So then it should look like this.

 

 

What do you think about my Nail Art this week? Do you like it? Do you use any of the products I use this week? What do you think about the products if you have used them? Feel free to leave a comment down below. If you have anything that you would want to know or want to ask but don't want to comment don't hesitate to email me at realdreaming1@gmail.com .

This weeks madness!

Hi there! As I said a couple of weeks back I was going to do every two weeks an end of week review. Well over these last two weeks I haven't had anything that I have truly loved enough to be in an end of week review. So instead I have decided that I will tell you about the madness of this past week and everything that has happened.

 

So this week started off the same as normal. I babysat on Saturday until the very early hours of the morning. (4 o'clock in the morning!!) I was very tired that night and fell asleep until half past 12. I had a very chilled out Sunday and tried to get some college work done but ended up watching countless episodes of Gossip Girl and trying to catch up on sleep. Although in the evening I went out for a dinner with my friends to celebrate her getting a place in University and her birthday as well, which was the day before. It was a very enjoyable evening, a meal and then a couple of drinks afterwards! I had never had a more chilled out and fun evening out.

 

On the Monday it was a very enjoyable day. My mum was ill but I went out and spent money on clothes and then some food and soup for my mum. That took my time between 12:20 and 2:30. I got a taxi back and started to look after my mum. So for the rest on the day I had watched more episodes of last seasons Mr Selfridge. For the rest of the evening I was taking pictures for my photography project. I was very pleased about it. Started writing more of a fan fiction and then it had become bedtime already. Tuesday I woke up not feeling very well so I asked my last tutor could I not go to last lesson and I finished at half past 2. Although, in our first lesson we got put into groups of 4 or 5 and then had to research and plan a 40 minute lesson. We had it and one group was teaching on Friday. We were not going to be told until Friday who was going to teach so everyone had to be ready. Then instead of going home because I missed my bus I went shopping and bought more things. I came home and did nothing but reblog things on Tumblr while listening to music and then again after writing more of my fan fiction.

 

Wednesday was a busy day for me. I had been in college for 3 hours and then had my lunch. After lunch I had to go filming which was 1 and a half hours of enjoyable filming, and funny talks with my bestest friend I could ever ask for, and has an amazing fashion sense and blog. I will leave a link at the end. We spent another hour editing and singing and dancing along to songs with my other friends. It was very enjoyable. Wednesday night I decided to research the points for the lesson I might have had to give on Friday. Thursday came around and I was in college again. I left late but arrived on time. I had a very awkward day on Thursday where some people just didn't seem interested in what I had to say or wanting to talk to me. Apart from my bestest friend that is. I then had to babysit an hour after getting back home after college.

 

So we came to today. I got to college a couple of minutes late. So we did some last minute preparation for the lesson we had to give because it was us who had to give the lesson today without two members of our group. (Annoyed was not the word for me and my two friends.) We got an early lunch and went on Tumblr, ate my lunch and checked all of my e-mails. The afternoon came around and I finished my editing for my video. After finishing the video I signed out a digital SLR for the weekend. After we were aloud to leave me and my bestest friend went, shopped for a little while (including in a charity shop which I sometimes very rarely do) and took the bus back to my friends house. There we took pictures and I got picked up at quarter to 6. Came home and an hour later went back out to my aunties for her birthday. Took pictures and generally had a very good time there. After this we ordered Chinese takeaway and wrote this blog post while watching the ending episodes of Mr. Selfridge.

 

I am so sorry that this isn't what it should be on every second Friday but I didn't think it was right to do a blog post just on two items. Tomorrow will not be an outfits of the week either. This is because I had forgotten to take pictures of my outfits on Wednesday and Thursday of my outfits. So instead I will either be doing a review of all the Little Mix range of make-up or a haul of all the things that I have bought over the past few weeks. Cough cough, days, cough cough.

 

Have you had a busy week? Is there anything you have been particularly loving this week? Is there anything you would like to see a post on? Feel free to comment down below about anything. You can find my bestest friends fashion blog, here. You can also e-mail me any questions or anything you want to realdreaming1@gmail.com.

Over 1,000 views!

 

 

This post was going to be what I have bought, over the past 2 weeks and do a kind of haul post. I would have done that but today I recently hit over 1,000 views on my Polyvore account! I am so grateful to anyone who has had a look at them and if you have decided to follow it as well. It means so much to me and I couldn't be more grateful. I have been on the site for under a year and already have over 1,000 views. I can't believe it and I have just wanted to say thank you for everyone who has been on it. I try and make the outfits as cheap as I can. So thank you again! As you can see I did a celebratory over 1,000 views set. So, if this hasn't persuaded you to check it out, I don't know what will. Haha. You can check it here, or it will be down below as well.

Nails Monday #2

Hi there! So the weekend went by far too quickly containing work and going out. At the weekend I used the velvet effect kit and it didn't work out as well as it could have done. So I took it off this morning and just put on a basic base coat to last me, until I painted the colour onto my nails. This week I used the OPI base coat, Barry M Blood Red 347 and Barry M Matt White 336. The colour on each nails alternates between Red and White. Very basic but adds a bit of colour to any outfit.

 

So first of all, I put the OPI base coat on each nail. This helps not stain the nail with whatever colour I use and protects the nail as well.

 

So then after I had put my base coat on, I put red on every other nail and then on the remaining nails, I put on white. I painted on 2 coats of nail polish so I would get a solid colour on each nail. I used Barry M because it gives great coverage and doesn't chip easily. It also dries very quickly and does not smudge easily either. I love the range of colours, there is to buy from as well. So after I had painted my nails red and white, that's all there is to do for this week.

 

Sorry that there wasn't much for this post and that the lighting wasn't very good. I promise that I will do my nails and shoot pictures during day light rather than late at night. Do you have a colour of nail polish you can't live without? Do you like my nails this week? Do you have any Barry M products? Feel free to comment down below.

Outfit Of The Week #2!

Hi there! So this week feels like it has flown by. It has just gone by in the blink of an eye and it feels like I have accomplished a lot during this week. But between babysitting and college work I have not had time to take photos of things for new log posts but don't worry there are lots of things to come. I am going to be honest, I am going to do a haul blog post of things I have bought this week on the Wednesday. This Friday is my second end of week review and this Monday is another Nails Monday of what nail art/nail polish I am going to wear this next week. So below are my four outfits I wore at college this week.

 

So this week has been mainly skirts or dresses. Except for Wednesday where I wore jeans. The last two days I have been wearing new things that I have bought and loved wearing! I am not a fashion expert and these things that I am wearing is because I find them comfy for myself. So now I am going to list where I got each item of clothing from for each day.

 

Tuesday: -AC DC Top, H&M

-White Vest Top, Primark

-Skirt, Primark

-Hoodie, H&M

 

Wednesday: -Shirt, Primark

-Jeans, New Look

-Hoodie, Primark

 

Thursday: -Dress, Primark

-Cardigan, Primark

-Snood, Primark

 

Friday: -Ramones Top, Primark

-Skater Skirt, Primark

-Red Belt, New Look,

-Bad Hair Day Snapback Hat, New Look

-Hoodie, H&M

 

Now as you can see I mainly use high street stores because they are cheap but also have really well made clothes. I am trying to branch out into more colours as it is getting closer to Spring. Also you can see that most of my wardrobe are dark colours, so its not the best colour for the warmer months. I try and make my clothes as comfy as possible because I move around and sit still in front of a computer for quite a while. I am hoping to branch out and try and go shopping in Topshop soon and I hope to come back with lots of goodies and new clothes. Although this will be much later in the year.

 

My favourite outfit this week though is Thursdays outfit. I love the print of the dress and I love how comfy it is to wear. I love the colours and how easy it is to wear as casual or as a smart outfit as well. The dress I bought on the Wednesday and I have to say it was on offer but so cheap even when it wasn't. I had been looking at this dress for a while and thought when I had the money to spare I will buy it. Although when I saw the dress with one left in my size and reduced down to £2, I had to buy it I couldn't just leave it there.

 

Did you have a favourite outfit this week? Do you shop in mainly high street store or designer stores? Do you have a favourite hat, skirt, dress or top? Feel free to comment down below.

Candles!

Hi there! Today I would like to talk about the candles I have been using since after Christmas. I use two of the three candles normally and the other one I use when I am relaxing in the bath and they all smell amazing in my opinion. I also want to say that I am developing a cold at the moment and normally when I get a cold I get it really bad and I just want to do nothing and hardly have any energy, so it you get an absence off me you now know why.

The candle on the left is Strawberry and the candle on the right is Black Cherries. The two candles I am going to talk about are the candles I light all the time and need to go and get a new one of one of them. One of them smells like black cherries and the other one smells of strawberries. I light them together, so that it gives my room a really fruity and fresh smell. I also light them because I adore candles and you can get them really cheap as well and they actually smell good. I got the black cherries one at a Poundland in the town centre in Southport. Now normally I don't buy £1 candles but I absolutely adore the scent this candle gives off and when I have the money to spare I will definitely be buying another one again. The strawberry one I normally buy at Poundland as well but my mum got loads of Christmas presents from her work and someone got her a candle and she doesn't like candles at all and gave it to me to have instead.

The other candle which I have 4 of (hangs head in shame) are called Vanilla Crème. I love the smell of vanilla and this one is a really relaxing smell. So when I come in from a stressful day out or dare I say it a stressful day at college and decide to relax in a bath I light these candles around the bath and just completely chill out and relax before I start watching Gossip Girl and then do a blog post later. These candles were 2 for £1 in the same Poundland that I got the Black Cherries one from. Like I said I don't normally buy cheap candles but I thought its a pound if I don't like them or they don't smell nice its not like I spent a lot of money on them.

Do you have a favourite candle scent? Where do you get your candles from? When and where do you use your candles? Feel free to comment down below. You can also follow me on: Bloglovin', Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Polyvore. See you soon!

Nails Monday #1!

Hi there! So it's a Monday night and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, filled with fun. I am off on Mondays if you don't already know and I decided instead of painting them one colour I decided to paint little eyes on them and if I say so myself, I think I did a damn good job! So here are all the products that I used and I will tell you how I did it.

 

 

So first I used the Bourjois Paris Nail Polish Remover to remove the nail polish on that had chipped and I had been wearing for over a week. So after all of that was taken off I decided to paint on a base coat of the OPI Natural Base Coat. Now I know that OPI is quite expensive, so if you want to recreate this nail art any clear nail polish will do, as will any cotton wool and nail polish remover will as well. After I had applied a base coat I applied two coats of a black Nails Inc. nail polish. This nail polish is called New York Noir. I'm not sure if this was a limited edition nail polish or not but I got this in a company magazine back in October/November I can't remember which.

 

 

So after I had applied two coats of that black nail polish I picked up the Barry M white nail polish. The nail polish that I am using is 66 Matt White. Now Barry M nail polish is amazing. It is long lasting and hardly ever chips. I used my nail tool to paint on two ovals as for the whites of the eyes. I did 2 coats for that as well so you don't see the black underneath.

So after I used the brush part for the whites of the eyes, I used the other end of the nail tool to dot on the pupil of the eye. To dot on the pupil I used the same black I used for the main coat of the nail. Nails Inc. nail polish is amazing and hardly ever chips either. I love it so much and I love wearing it on its own or with nail art on top as well.

So after the whole of the eyes are painted on I used the base coat I used as another top coat as well. As I said before any clear nail polish will do as a base coat and top coat. This is so easy to recreate and you can get the nail art tool from an Avon catalogue for £3, which is really cheap compared to nail art brushes in a set which cost a lot. I hope you have liked seeing what I have done to my nails for this week.

Have you done any nail art on your nails? Is there any brand of any colour that you love either on its own or with another colour? Do you like what I did with my nails this week? Feel free to comment down below.

Feel free to follow me on Bloglovin', Twitter, Tumblr and Polyvore. If you want to follow me on Instagram my name is livvy15. I would link it up but my computer doesn't seem to like the website. So my picture on Instagram is the same picture as my profile picture on here. On my Instagram you will see what I'm using on my nails on Mondays and what I'm doing my blog posts about. See you soon!

Outfit Of The Week #1!

Hi there! So the week has gone by and I am back at college how sad...It hasn't been the best week for me. You can say oh I've had a bad day today, well this past week has been a bad week for me. So I go to college 4 days a week and a different outfit for each day. So I thought I would show you them all and then choose my favourite and tell you why. So here are my four outfits.

 

So in my outfits they are all very different but I had fun trying new things that I wouldn't normally wear in the wintery months. For two day I wore a skirt and the other two day my normal skinny jeans. They all have a jumper or hoodie in the outfit because it is cold outside and I need to keep warm when I am walking 30 minutes just to get to the class I need to and to get to the actual college on time. I have to say all my outfits are simple but its college you don't need to dress up because there's nothing to dress up for, unless you have to give a pitch to a client.

 

I have to say though my favourite outfit has to be Tuesdays. I mainly choose it because It was the most comfiest outfit out of all of them even if I was wearing a skirt. It was also fun to wear because who doesn't love the cookie monster? But on a serious note I really do love the things I wore that day. Even if I did fall over in my favourite coffee shop and hurt myself, and was late to class and didn't have the things I needed, I still smiled my way through it and got through a truly horrible day but in my favourite clothes.

 

So did you have a favourite outfit this week? Do you have an item of clothing that you don't normally wear but love wearing when you do? How was your week? Feel free to let me know down in the comments.

End Of Week Review #1

Hi there! This end of week review is basically 2 beauty products. What I have been loving and using this week is the L'Oreal Long Lasting Perfecting Foundation and the Seventeen Instant Glow Bronzer. I got the bronzer earlier this week and it only cost me £4.19 in my local Boots store, but I can already tell it will last me a long time because I don't need much of it.

 

 

I am going to briefly talk about this again. I know I did a review on this earlier in the week but I have loved it so much I thought I would mention it again. It has a very good coverage over blemishes, spots and evens out skin so easily and I love it so much. Normally I don't like pump foundations but this one is so good and I don't have to do a lot of pumps to get my desired amount. It does last for 16 hours and I just love it!

 

 

 

The other thing I have been loving over the past few days is a bronzer I picked up when buying my mum her birthday present. I had been needing a bronzer for quite a while because I don't like how pale my face was compared to the rest of my body. So I tested it out a little bit on my hand and it was a very light bronzer which I thought would be perfect considering how pale my face is. It is so easy and easily transfers onto my brush and then from my brush to my face. It doesn't add so much that it makes look un-natural. I will do a more detailed review on this later in the week but I absolutely love this and it is a must have for me. I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about buying a bronzer.

 

Is there anything you have been loving this week? Is there anything that is a must have? Have you tried either of these two products? What are your thoughts on them? Feel free to comment down below in the comments about these.

Things I Want To Do On This Blog!

Hi there! Theres a few things I want to start doing on this blog! I want to start doing an End Of Week Review every two weeks. This will take place on a Friday and the first one will be this Friday.

Whether it be food or clothes or anything really. I will also be doing an Outfit Of The Week, where I will be showing you my outfits I have worn to college, choose my favourite one and then I will be doing that every Saturday.

What do you think about all of these things I wil start to do? Is there anything that you want to see my make a weekly/monthly thing? Feel free to answer these down in the comments.

My Everyday Autumn/Winter Make-Up Look!

 

Hi there! Today I am going to tell you about my everyday make-up look. This is what I do for college, so in my eyes it is a very simple look and very casual. I use many products in this look but because I am so used to it, it take me 10-20 minutes to do this depending on how awake I am! I use this most days when I actually get up and out of bed. The image below is all the products and the brush I use for blending. I could not find my other brushes I use, but they are just very simple brushes and you can get them in any make-up brush set.

 

So here I have used a Collection 16 Hour Lasting Perfection Concealer (which I have run out of that's why its not in the picture sorry!) and I have dabbed this under my eyes, a little bit on my forehead, a little bit on my chin and a little bit around my nose. I have done this to cover up my dark circles under my eyes from the lack of sleep I get from working at night. I also a little bit of redness around my nose because of my cold I have had for a while and I have a couple of spots on my forehead and chin so I put a little on there to cover that up.

 

 

Next I used the L'Oreal Long Lasting Perfecting Foundation in number 15, which is Porcelain. I use this all over my face so I have a complete coverage just so that it covers up any less noticeable blemishes or spots. I blend this in again with my Real Techniques Brush. It is the expert face brush but because I don't have that big a face it is perfect for concealer and foundation and I just love this brush. It is so soft even after having it of ages!

 

 

Then after doing my concealer and foundation, I use a Collection Pressed Powder in the number 18 called Ivory. I use this over my foundation so that the other make-up I use after the powder will stay put and my look a little softer, then if I didn't use it. I put this on with a little pad instead of a sponge because I use less this way and It gives complete coverage better than using two different sponges.

 

 

After I use my powder, I get my SmashBox Palette in the name of Hot Date. It is essentially an eyeshadow palette but I use the darkest brown that they have just to fill in my eyebrows and make the shape more noticeable. I don't use a lot of it but just enough so they are more noticeable and that I do have eyebrows under the foundation and powder I have on. For this I use an angled brush which shapes my eyebrows nicely.

 

 

After that I get my Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner in the shade Blackened Metal. This isn't a black it is a dark grey with bits of glitter in it. You can't tell the glitter is in it unless you put a lot on. I go around my top lash line and the corner of my bottom lash line and then have a little flick at the corner of my eye. To use this product I got a free eyeliner brush with it and it is a very small angled brush.

 

 

 

After I do my eyeliner I grab my Collection Little Mix Mascara. I have Jades version because it defines every lash and I think it looks so nice and pretty. The mascaras in the Little Mix collection are all black so I do my top and bottom lashes and make them stand out a bit more. The wand that you use to coat your lashes isn't that big or think either so I just love using that every time I do my make-up.

 

 

 

Lastly after all of that I pick up my Sleek Blusher in the number 926 in the shade Rose Gold. I love using this blusher in the winter time because it gives my cheeks a soft glow. The colour of the blusher is a dusty pink with a bit of shimmer in it. I love using it and it looks so nice on my very pale skin. To put this on I use a blusher brush for a normal make-up brush set. Its not a fancy brush. The one fancy brush that I have is my Real Techniques brush.

 

 

After all of this as an after thought as always I use a Lip Butter that smells like Raspberrys. I love using this because it gives my lips a pinky look to them and makes them look fuller. I don't always use a lip butter on its own. I sometimes pair it with a Lipstick and at the moment I am using a Kate Moss Lipstick in the colour 107. It is a dark red/pink. I adore it and always have it in my bag with me.

 

 

So here is the before and after picture of my Autumn/Winter Make-up Look.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this post. In the comments feel free to comment, what do you use in your everyday make-up rountine? Do you have a favourite product that I use? Are there any products you would recommend to anyone to use? And do you have something that you always carry around in your bag with you?

L'Oreal Long Lasting Perfecting Foundation.

 

Hi there. Today I am going to talk about this new foundation I picked up in Boots the last time I was in there. I have been needing some liquid foundation for a while and after looking at lots of different brands and asking for some help in other drugstores/beauty stores, I finally came to the decision to spend some of my Christmas money on this. It is the L'Oreal Long Lasting Perfecting Foundation. Now when I get foundation or powder or concealer I have to pick quite a pale shade because unlike the rest of my family, I don't tan I just burn. So I went in a picked up the tester and tried the palest shade that the store had and it was (unfortunately) the right skin tone. So I went and bought it and tried it the next day and I have to say I love this product and have been using it everyday since I bought it about a week ago.

 

 

When I put it on I thought it was going to feel really heavy on my skin and make my skin really stiff. I was pleasantly surprised when I put it on with my other make-up and it felt really light on my skin. I looked on the bottle and it said it lasts 16 hours. I have to say it does stay on for 16 hours. I would even say it stays on for longer than 16 hours because I wore it from 8am until 2am the next day, (I was up reading The Hunger Games) and I went to take it off with my make-up remover and it came off. I had it on all day and it hadn't come off throughout the day it looked just say good as it had when I put it on in the morning.

 

It also said that it didn't transfer or rub off onto anything else, for instance different clothes. I thought that it would just like any other foundations I have used in the past, but yet again I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't actually rub off onto anything else. I figured this out because I had a little sleep like any other day *hangs head in shame* and it didn't rub off on my cushion I usually lay the side of my face on when going to sleep.

 

I absolutely love this foundation. It is a little pricey but not as pricey as Mac or Nars. I wouldn't normally buy foundation from any other brands other than Collection 2000 but I am glad that I actually asked for opinions from the staff that worked there and other people that I know.

 

Please leave a comment telling me what is your favourite foundation and would you recommend it to other people? Is it really expensive or is it not that pricey? I would love to hear from all of you. Feel free to follow me on Bloglovin', Twitter and Tumblr. See you all soon!

New Year!

Hi there. First of all I would like to wish you a Happy New Year. I hope this year brings you happiness and joy, along with everything you could possibly want. So it is 2014 and that means another year where opportunities arise and you need to grasp them while you can. Whether it means a huge jump into the unknown or a small step towards your dream you need to take it while it there. If you decide not to take it, don't regret it later in life. Every decision that is made has different outcomes but you can't regret the decisions you make, because whatever happens helps build you to become a stronger and better person.

I guess what I'm trying to say is never regret what happens. This year will have lots of different opportunities, which will cause different opportunities afterwards as well. What I have learnt from my past year is that some friends come and go but true friends stay. They know your boundaries and what you mean by things you say. Others may think what you say is weird but your friends will know exactly what you mean by it and laugh along with you. This time last year I had found a true friend that has helped me through everything last year. We only met at the start of the first college year for me and even though she is older than me, it doesn't matter because we know each other so well after talking all the time. I know that if I need someone she will be there for me where as other people may not be.

It is a new year and I am giving other people a new chance. I'm leaving all the grudges and arguments behind me in 2013 and starting a completely fresh start. I am keeping the old friends that are actually there for me and leaving the others behind. Now before anyone thinks anything. I do not do New Years Resolutions because I always break them before the end of January. So the only thing I aim to do is save money that I earn because I am rubbish at it and then have no money for the things that I actually well and truly need.

Leave a comment and tell me are you starting a completely fresh start? What have you planned to do differently this year compared to last year? Do you make New Years Resolutions or do you always break them before the end of January? Follow me on Bloglovin', Twitter and Tumblr. See you next time.
